Wayzzz 02:56
Now that you're gone I'll write about you in a song and I'll make believe that nothing ever happened My hope is gone I'll soldier on hope for the best but nothing happens Another photograph that I F'n threw away Maybe we'll talk Like that would ever even happen I hold on in my pathetic wayz The past months have gone so very wrong I make amends because sh*t happens I feel my life is such a waste Each day's the same and I'm to blame getting drunk just for the practice I wake up then I cut'n paste Maybe we'll talk Like that would ever even happen I hold on in my pathetic wayzz Maybe it's better to move on and let the past be what happened and go our separate wayzzz

Wisened up and sure somehow This thing you all have figured out Freckled up to extra mouths Best of luck I’m headed now Is anybody in here? Is anybody here... I’m not real I’m too sad to feel No big deal Roll without a wheel Live my life all full of doubts I’m never happy when it counts Say my part but don’t arouse Will we ever find our way out? Is anybody in here? Is anybody here... I’m not real I’m too sad to feel No big deal Roll without a wheel

Hello Face 02:34
I’m not laughing, hello face I’m just getting around to all the guilt I’ve found We can’t talk without a chase There a little surround then I forget about it all There’s a place I'd like to go I can take you next time to see the things that excite me Take a bite out of this place and remember the doubt A memory I freak out Do you come here often? Are you always this open Afraid that I’ve misspoken You’re gonna let me out Cause I feel stuck in this place There’s a thing that’s unspoken never out in the open But I feel here better with you And I’m out in the open my mouths finally open Do you come here often? Are you always this open Afraid that I’ve misspoken You’re gonna let me out

Weight 04:15
Am I being let go? would be nice to know Are you just a decoy? cause I’m not where I want to be Pretenses we’re too slow Am I just in a hold I’m checking out again What do you all suggest Are you all depressed? Do you think that I... We’ll I forgot what to say How is this such a mess? Are you ok with this? Can I carry all the weight The weight is lost on me And falls onto you Down a new rabbit hole I’m late to see what’s funny here As I said I’m too slow I’m not going anywhere Arguments a decoy We elect to deploy I’m checking out again What do you all suggest Are you all depressed? Do you think that I... We’ll I forgot what to say How is this such a mess? Are You ok with this? Can I carry all the weight? The weight is lost on me And falls onto you

I missed the exit again Im kind of a sh*tty friend Talk without thinkin So much I don’t understand I’m tired not knowing where I’m going Wish I knew where I had been What am I gonna do? Wearing these shoes Scared and confused What am I gonna do? With all these moods I gotta go through What am I gonna do? Tired not having fun Wishing bad on someone Hanging out on a rung Waiting for anyone What am I gonna do? Wearing these shoes Scared and confused What am I gonna do? With all these moods I gotta go through What am I gonna do?

Karma 03:02
Downtown in a pond it's a thing that I like How do you feel? such a big deal everything goes away... What I've found It's up where I Belong is alright Right? take me out make me feel I want to meet you How do you feel? such a big deal everything goes away... Karma is real so if you steal prepare for that day I'm on to winning but winning is nothing if we are all nothing then where are we going
7.
Giving Up 02:31
Visceral and strange There’s too much fun here to make me feel this way Tired of slow delays I hear what your saying but I don’t care what you say Giving up Giving up Giving up Giving up Acting out of place And then rewinding it’s hard to find my space Hoping for a change But by design I’ve got no hope to base Giving up Giving up Giving up On a love

Life’s great and all is glitter And I belong to the sky When you were born you were a flicker But you became a bonfire Carry on, is this thing on? A parade for all the winners And you caught my eye If celebrating this is bitter You get first, prize Checking in, is anyone listening? I’m afraid of all the critters Im afraid of how they fly I wish that I could be more primmer I wish I could be a nice guy Carry on, is this thing on? Checking in, is anyone listening?

Down the tracks and far away Listen to what other people say It’s gonna get us all in a mess I don’t think I’m quite ready for this Another day with time to fill Not ready to lie, cheat or steal No where to go, got no address I don’t think I’m quite ready for this

Everything I know is a lie everyone I ever knew has died I say the wrong things now but at least I tried Talking to a pig on the ceiling it's such a funny feeling here I go again... I don't think I can but I'll try to turn this ship from wrong to right we're sailing the wrong way there and we don't know why Talking to a pig on the ceiling it's such a funny feeling and I'm on the side of reason but he's here and I do believe him here I go again... We go out, we go out with an empty promise I can't sit around and hope you loved me We'll find out all about How it's easy, you got this I'm on my way out so do think of me You got this...
