Flies 07:08
I’m hiding feelings in my hoodie pockets It always feels like everybody’s watching No one hears me, I don’t make a sound No one sees me, I live underground Won’t you find me nowhere You terrible nightmare Before I get lost in the crowd I spend the weekends in my head Strange people telling me lies and Dead bodies covered in flies I’ll keep to myself I’ll keep to myself And I slept through the thunderstorm last night Dreaming I was on fire I slept through all of your calls It wasn’t my desire Try to see your family tonight Tell your friends you love them You don’t need to worry about what’s next, Listen to the thunder High expectations don’t mix with bad intentions Your opinions don’t always reflect in your decisions High expectations don’t mix with bad intentions Your opinions don’t always reflect in your decisions High expectations don’t mix with bad intentions Your opinions don’t always reflect in your decisions High expectations don’t mix with bad intentions Your opinions don’t always reflect in your decisions And I slept through the thunderstorm last night Dreaming I was on fire I slept through all of your calls It wasn’t my desire Try to see your family tonight Tell your friends you love them You don’t need to worry about what’s next, Listen to the thunder If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax If your brain gets off its leash Out of your head and into bed Don’t go try and get it back Relax

Talking on gritty subjects You wouldn’t like it here Abducted, destructed, Wanna get outta here now If you saw what’s in the mirror, You wouldn’t like it here Abducted, destructed Wanna get outta here now Why do you treat me like I belong I’ll just go out and write a song About how you keep me part of you And all the stupid things you do You only make me feel Nobody wants to hear you or anything you gotta say Why do you think I’m some kind of friend I‘m not trying to offend You or your group of faithful bores The ones you’re trying to procure You only make me think Nobody wants to hear you or anything you gotta say Talking on gritty subjects You wouldn’t like it here Abducted, destructed, Wanna get outta here now If you saw what’s in the mirror, You wouldn’t like it here Abducted, destructed Wanna get outta here now Why do you treat me like I belong I’ll just go out and write a song About how you keep me part of you And all the stupid things you do You only make me feel Nobody wants to hear you or anything you gotta say Why do you think I’m some kind of friend I‘m not trying to offend You or your group of faithful bores The ones you’re trying to procure You only make me think Nobody wants to hear you or anything you gotta say

When I was younger I would drive my car as fast as I can Hit 90 miles on the highway every time that I’d go down a hill Two years later I’m less stupid but I’m equally scared I gotta focus my direction cut my losses and then shoot to kill I never said that it’d be easy You misinterpreted what you heard I said if u release me Then maybe it’d be less hard The knife is dull on both sides I don’t think it’s gonna cut The knife is dull on both sides I don’t think Did you need it or just want it, I mean everything And if you ever really cared at all you’d figure out what I need And won’t you please me don’t believe me it’s not hard to agree I’ll open myself for connection, I know that together we’ll bleed I never said that it’d be easy You misinterpreted what you heard I said if u release me Then maybe it’d be less hard The knife is dull on both sides I don’t think it’s gonna cut The knife is dull on both sides I don’t think

Whether I’m uptight to anyone Whether I’m the type for anyone Whether I’m the cannonball Whether I’m your last resort Whether I’m the pony at your Cowgirl birthday party Whether I’m the friendship formed From a long awaited sorry Whether I’m the firework Whether I’m the blowback We don’t have to alter course The weather rarely follows through Whether I’m uptight to anyone Whether I’m the type for anyone Whether I’m the cannonball Whether I’m your last resort Whether I’m the pony at your Cowgirl birthday party Whether I’m the friendship formed From a long awaited sorry Whether I’m the firework Whether I’m the blowback We don’t have to alter course The weather rarely follows through

Himself 03:33
Is everything Beautiful? Why think beauty only stands two inches tall? Beautiful Lightning bug Is crushed beneath black boots and flattened into pulp The plastic bag In the sea Blood is heavier than water we drink You’ve had your fun You’ve had your fun You made your dollar and you’ll cost another one A tinted fun Conceited one With old gray hair Sits in his chair What is “me”? Who are you? Overrated portraits we will never live up to The old gray man Writing his will Those dollar bills, those dollars build into his will He turns around Looks to the ground And prides himself For where he lands

Unknown 2 02:21
These rainy days And matinees My fantasies They hide they hide they hide they hide It’s harder when The sun is out I think about The sky the sky the sky the sky And I can’t stand this stormy weather I can’t stand these clouds forever Maybe next time we’re together I’ll forget this fucking weather I can’t stand this sunny weather I can’t stand these clouds forever Maybe next time we’re together I’ll forget this fucking weather Rain rain rain rain rain rain go away Come again on another day If I don’t see the sky today I might forget about the way I like the sky when we’re together I like the sky just a little better A little better when we’re together Don’t make me forget this weather I can’t stand this stormy weather I can’t stand these clouds forever Maybe next time we’re together I’ll forget this fucking weather I just mumble quietly that I miss the time we spent in your apartment

Last Legs 05:40
Go figure I snuck into the middle of the picture But I was still miles away Cause I’m scared of all the pretty girls And I’m not the best in the world At making the first move But I can make you move And dance until the sun goes down In hopes that you’ll keep me around And I’m drowning in the deep end And I’m too tired to swim I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs Watching my mood swing Won’t suck the venom out of my sting I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs Blast through life with a skip and a hop Won’t you do what you like, nobody’s calling the cops Then you looked straight through me What did you do to me I wish I was 10 feet tall So I could keep my head out of the clouds Stepping over all of the know-it-alls And the ones that get too loud Can’t seem to brush that chip off my shoulder Ever since I got a little bit older It’s all the little things And all my hopes and dreams Blast through life too carefully, Please turn that music down Why’d you look straight through me What did you do to me And I’m drowning in the deep end And I’m too tired to swim I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs Watching my mood swing Won’t suck the venom out of my sting I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs And I’m drowning in the deep end And I’m too tired to swim I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs Watching my mood swing Won’t suck the venom out of my sting I’m on my last legs I’m on my last legs

Someday I’ll become a servant Licensed work is never worth it Your name on a piece of paper Proving you were here I hate to be with so few convictions But I find myself lost, and it’s each and every day I feel that maybe this one won’t be just the same Moving along isn’t moving on I felt that, you said that I’m always home, I’m always home I’ll stay forever catacomb A tassel’s a lasso My castles always out of touch A tassel’s a lasso Someday I’ll become exerted Pulling my weight got less important Easier said than doing business Please don’t wait for me I hate to have so many confusions But I find myself gone, and it’s each and every day I feel that maybe this one won’t be just the same Oh, I hope it’s not the same Moving along isn’t moving on I felt that, you said that I’m always home, I’m always home I’ll stay for ever catacomb A tassel’s a lasso My castles always out of touch A tassel’s a lasso When your car breaks down in the middle of the road I’ll be there to drive you When you never understood I’ll be there to hear you And oh, I hope it’s not the same as How I never loved you
