LYRICS
When you need someone to blame, can you count the times you've felt the same?
When your mind finds no escape, will you chase the right to get rid of your pain?
Mom and dad used to be okay, then you packed your stuff with no place to stay
Just be careful with what you say, you get by after the storm with another on the way

When she's not awake, 
She dreams, but I'm about to break
Let me go, let me feel the rain
What you promised was night and day

If you treat your brother this way, there's a chance your life will be pretty much the same
Every working hand today makes your deepest wish look like the smallest grain
Every truth should have a name, gried and joy have a reason, but many lack a shape
There's a lot of time you can save thinking less of tearing down than you care for what you make

But they're coming again
Surrounding, just like birds of prey
I'll be strong, they won't reach where you lay
Let your heart decide what you crave

LYRICS
Do you remember your first kiss?
Do you still care for everything I dare to miss?
Stonewall painted where we all used to sit
Talk in the morning? Talk about a myth...

The taste is changing, and I can't hold back
Illusions fading, I don't wanna grow up
Discuss this procedure, map out the cost
How much do I owe you for entire lives lost?

You came back haunting my will to try hard
We understood longing, but not anymore
I saw you in the mirror, I wonder what you saw
I've never been a reacher, please don't go this far

LYRICS
I just want you here, sharing my own fears, hoping to confront me
Nothing I can say so that you could stay is enough for my need
When we're torn apart, I'll collect the scars, none of them are deadly
Just to pass the time, just to play with fire, it was not the beauty

I never said I knew how long I'd be away
If you think I'm good, why won't you say my fucking name?
Our lives will fall, and all they talk about is waves
If you know the truth, let's watch it go down into flame

Please don't leave me here, I don't wanna be more than what you're breathing
I know what you see, staring back at me, all the things you're hiding
Wonder if the stars are a source of light or is it the beating
Of your holy heart, and that precious smile some day I'll be giving?

I know I've said by far the worst that I could say
We never met, then why can't you just go away?
i've made you cry, but people died while you got laid
I hope you know my words are not always the same

LYRICS
You got someone who treats you well
You got your answer, you gotta sell
This peaceful beligerance

Find out the truth, hide it in your bag
I'll see you soon, got a plane to catch
My worst fear is to be just a man

Quit this fight, doesn't matter if you're bright
We got billions of connections waiting for a spark of light
Skipped your class, now we want you out of sight
There's a number to be saved, and a handful who just might
They say the problem with the system is you didn't wait in line
Why don't you cross out the believers, take in a brilliant mind?
Blame it all on generation but explain a petty crime
Excuse me dear old nation, some things must be put aside

My heart is heavy, but my dad knows
The kind of burden talking to a ghost
Would make you see now that the pills are gone

Some day I'll pay, give me back my phone
The deal is worse when you don't mind the tone
I'm not a robot, but what do I know?

Check, check, check, there's a party here in bed
You don't even need the money, you don't even need the sex
Stay away from bread and wine, and forever counting coins
It's her body, you're the mom, but we all should have a choice
Reputation isn't gold, but they shove it down your throat
It's the bankers, movie makers, perpetrators and the wolves
Hips are nervous when you walk, that's a symptom to take pride
Decorate your waist to make it in this wonderful headline

LYRICS
I know you came from a hidden place in your mind where this is real
About to begin is the same old plan that will teach you what to feel

Shut your mouth and play
How long can you wait?

All I can say to your desperate face is to never close your eyes
Every mistake, every move you didn't make is a blessing in disguise

Told you not to cry
Don't you even try

If I could believe a single word of what I say when I beg you to have peace
I wouldn't deny, I wouldn't defy, I wouldn't be here... tell me what that means

No one's safe with me
Locked with a disease

LYRICS
Running, free from few, boys on my street
Are they proving theories or playing catch with me?

At the newsstand, they're all asking
Bombs and sirens, why are they here?
Spots to hide near, save your breath, kid
Though it's not clear, let the game begin
Shoot and get them three

Morning, birds over trees, let's watch TV
Coffee, somewhere to be other than here

They're not sleeping, they're not dreaming
Point 2 seconds, someone screaming
Dying river, name the winner
When they get her, tell them mommy's here
King will plant the seed

LYRICS
When you're trash, you can't win
They don't care where you've been
You just need some new friends

Day after day, testing my ways
Get more of the same, get lucky get brave

Let the night fall to... (pound)
In your ear, cause you're proud
Nothing else you can do

Is this too much? I can't seem to stop
My body's out of touch, my mind's gonna pop

1 - GET PAID

take my words, as you you pick,
from the dust, from the shit,
from the pills, from the woes,
from the depth of my bones
a pain that's been written down for someone else to skim

take my notes, take my phone,
take ideas and pictures and code
you can't deny I can't live by
the standards that some other country decided I might

And all the girls are left behind

with hopes and dreams, regrets and plights
A faithless lover and their cries
All meanings that can't be derived
From pretty faces not a smile
Unwelcoming places, no blanket, he's quiet
Unenduring races, what a crime
Unending experiences, the universe fights

take my pain, from my joy
separate greedy child
parents advice from your device
a rhythm for your life that's been defined
but nobody cares to go back and ask why

take my teeth, yellow from smoking
take my limbs, wrecked from my stroking
all I deal with has a purpose
and you can't deny that I can't live by
the standards that I myself decided to chase down

And all the children have reasons to cry

with questions asked, that nobody knows
how to answer properly, just wait til you're grown
with terror in your head, a game might just do
a new friend for life, just wait until school
then come back home, your safest place
and find your favorite things suddenly being replaced
Unnerving in attitude, the grown ups have gone out of their minds
