Eraser
01:10
|
|||
You got me taking an eraser to my head
Just to scrub away these tangled memories
Wrapped around me like a cyclone
Always strangling
To anybody else, it’s so clear
To anybody else, it’s so clear
This operation's got me twisting
Crumbling out the door
And I can’t depend on you to
Save me like you did before
You know exactly what you’ll find

I wait until you fall asleep
Don’t make a sound
Try not to speak
Just killing time until you can see
These smile lines outside your dreams
If I could just shake you
Awake, it might come true
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need
Pull back the sheets
Baring our teeth
Clamp down on skin
Ripping away from me
If I could just shake you
Awake, it might come true
Now I know exactly just what I need to be
I know exactly just what I need
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need
So for now, I’m leaning hard
Into me and what I need

Pointless Function
03:33
|
|||
Taking aim at a pointless function
You remember then (you remember when)
All we ever had was structure
You remember when (we were living it)
A mirror image, just a sequence
You were just a kid (playing house and then)
All our dreams just flattened out when
All these unknown waves came crashing in
Now I don’t know your name
A loss that’s here to stay
Built a life on a savior complex
You were just a kid (you were just a kid)
All we ever had was comfort
Just begin again and get used to it
Now I don’t know your name
A loss that’s here to stay
I don’t know your name
A loss that’s here to stay
Stay
Raise your hands until you give up
Fill up, you’re full
We aren’t exactly the same
The sparkle washed out in the rain
I’ve been tearing through old photos
Finding something new
In place of what used to be just like you
Just a crease in the shape of some other life
Where this home’s not a home at all
You call me in, savor it
Swallow deep then say what you mean
And then, caving in
We celebrate the end of this

Glue
03:37
|

You give yourself away
Every single day
Just a passing face
Could pull you under
And pin you down
Calling like a ghost
A different kind of joke
To scare away your host
You said you loved her
But it’s different now
You’re spinning out
Watched you fall in
You’re crawling through
Every line they’ve been feeding you
Watched you fall in
You’re crawling through
Every line they’ve been feeding you
A carousel of mirrors
Revealing all the times
And different sides of you.
Make them wonder
And spin them out
You’re better now
Watched you fall in
You’re crawling through
Every line they’ve been feeding you
Watched you fall in
You’re crawling through
Every line they’ve been feeding you
Feeding you

Nosedive Routine
03:05
|
|||
In the rain
You see their face
Underneath
This cloud of pain
It’s back again
Circling me and everything
But I know it’s not here to stay
I wait, I wait
Until it fades away
And I know you think you need this
But you can’t tell me why
And I know you think you deserve this
But you can’t tell me why
And I know you think you need this
But you can’t tell me why
And I know you think you deserve this
But you can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why
You can’t tell me why

Head Is A Hideout
02:52
|
|||
Can you imagine where we’d be
If we followed all our dreams
Taking chances where they might land
Start a secret society
Sleep in late
Call your mom and say you’re doing great
Whether it’s true depends on your mood
We’re all just actors in a world we’re drowning in
Sinking like a stone?
Well, hold your head up high
Just a weight
Resting peacefully on my chest
And if nothing less
This measure of success
The gravity, it’s setting us apart
Sinking like a stone?
Well, hold your head up high now
Up high now
Up high now
Your head is just a hideout
A hideout
A hideout
Can’t you see the shape we’re in?
Disappearing end to end
When all you needed was a friend
Because this life is just too much
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

Dead Leaves (Interlude)
01:14
|
|||
Wake me up to the crunch of dead leaves
Under your bare feet
Never could watch your step
So I watched you get dressed before you left
Wake me up to the crunch of dead leaves
Under your bare feet
Never could watch your step
So I watched you get dressed before you left

Something to change your mind
A shelter falling down
Place your stake and
Run faster
Visions of your decline
Choking your life to death
Climbing into your bed
Holding you down
I’m writing around your comfort
Even when I’m uncomfortable
I’m writing around your comfort
Even when I’m uncomfortable
A picture inside a frame
Keeping you locked in place
Pull your stakes
Fading faster
The mirror that clouds your face
The stories that kept you safe
The truth’s just a dirty word
There’s no use now
I’m writing around your comfort
Even when I’m uncomfortable
I’m writing around your comfort
Even when I’m uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing

Can't Feel
03:04
|
|||
You clasp your hands so tight sometimes
I can’t pretend I’ll be alright
A shame, awake, a place to lie
You’ve got your sights on some false prize
We try, we try, we try and
We try, we try, we try at life
Now hold your match up towards the sky
To light the things we try to hide
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
I sleep to dream the days away
Like God would save a wreck like me
Dismiss and push myself aside
Just rotting out from the inside
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Now we can’t feel anything anymore
Anymore
Anymore

How To Relate
04:37
|
|||
How can I relate
When I can’t even admit
In the first place
Everything isn’t great
So I walked around all day
Till my head changed
Saw you sitting alone
And swore I’d just pass by
And not say a thing
All these phases we’ve owned
That I know have locked me
Out of this headspace
Out of this headspace
Out of this headspace
Why should I relate
When I can’t even
Pretend it’s the same taste
Everything you say
Shouldn’t be taken as seriously with me
Hard to not hesitate
So I’ll just untie and not say a thing
All these pages we’ve owned
They go slow, I watched them
Drown in the basement
Dried off but they’re wasted
We tried but now I need to know
Swore you’d never leave
Said you’d never go
Why should I relate
When I can’t even
Admit it’s the same face
All these wrinkles we hide
In time are falling out of their cages
I’m proud when I’m wasted
We tried but now I need to know
Swore you’d never leave
Said you’d never go
Well
