What Now 03:13
Forward to a fault Cringe a calling card Is it alright? Here are all my parts Keep me modest Drown the seeds I've sown Make it on my own Is it alright? Find myself alone At least I'm honest I'm worried that maybe I'm not sorry Ego, it'll grow I'm worried that maybe I'm not crazy Pseudo sideshow I dole it out What comes around goes around Don't call me out I'll take your pity, make a crown I'm left wondering, "What now?" The weight of it's crushing What now? Create me for you, I made me myself The monster it moves, it's horrible If this is the truth, it's lies that I'll tell Wounds no one can soothe, it's awful

Quiet 03:28
Graves are commas, say you'll stay Trapped between walls and doorways Death is quiet, stay afraid Silent shadows swear they've changed You fall, you're falling apart Dismantling your castle of cards Stand tall, you're towering now You're teetering too far above ground You call, you're calling it art We grieve for you, come back down Redesigned, here I am How long will you run from it? How long will you be someone I love? I don't know why you hold on for dear life Your knuckles red and white Move me or don't Use me, you won't I've seen what becomes of men like you Mirrors and smoke Swallow, you choke Lie through gleaming teeth, it sounds so true
3.
Be Small 02:54
Brace for the cold And I am shielding myself from time Soon you will see that I can not be sorry Be still and be small, we hide No light at all, another shadow in the night Don't right your past wrongs, deny And after all, the dead don't apologize Draw us to the light but still we hide in plain sight Keep you here I'll surround you with limbs when you weep Crawl inside me Keep you here
4.
Cave In 03:36
Cave in, draw claws, break skin Tailspin, confess your sin Do your words all belong to me? Bury you so I set you free Things break Hearts ache When you take I won't say it again Drowning, bow down, give in Thick skinned, head high, jaw clenched Beat it back, call its name Fade to black, fan the flame It will never be the same You take and you take We can't go on this way You take and you take
5.
Ruined 03:16
Are you drifting away again? Are you lusting after an end, a bitter end? Are you pulling on threads to mend? Pulled apart to begin again Who will I be? For your sanity A portrait of me Who will I be? My own family My own pharmacy It's all ruined It won't connect You broke, I knew it Up in smoke, covered in spit Just leave, screw it My noose around your neck Go on, save me Make me sorry again You create me, break me Turn me to sand Get over, through it Words I wrote but won't admit No hope, we lose it We choke
6.
Don't Reach 03:07
I will admit nothing Am I seething, starting something? Were you too eager, too trusting? Pay my compliments, you're blushing Don't reach out unless I'm under control Kind and cruel, fool's gold I'll be so cold Boil or breathe Smile or seethe Can you lead, control me? Peace you keep, dead and buried Can we work it out? Lay your baggage down Take it easy now Sleep six under ground Can't keep up, so keep on running My chin's up, so keep it coming
7.
Way Out 03:55
All my numbered demands Holding hostage broken romance Trade give for take for my own sake All this blood on my hands Clean it up in my head An eye for an eye, now we're both blind If I were you I'd keep searching for a way out If I were you I'd swallow your pride and put me down Keep your ear to the ground Feel all your teeth grinding, all the gears winding Is my time running out? I'll medicate myself, die until I'm well Don't let me down Keep tracing it 'round, but don't let me down If I were you I'd find a way out If I were you I'd put me down Scatter me like a seed Scatter me and I'll be good Bury me, I wish you would Let me go and I'll be good Set me free, I wish you would Turn away and I'll be good Burn it down, somebody should I'll decay but I'll be good Put me down, I wish you would Color me black and green Color me and I'll be good Cease to be, I wish I would
