Great
Another thing I didn’t know to say
I guess it’s all dependent on a day that ends in Y (why)
Does nothing that I ever do feel right?
Do you think that we could go a single night without

Repeating the cycle 
Of idle wondering, lingering
Stewing under the surface
Until it threatens to break it 
If we could find and erase it
All the miscommunications 
(All the miscommunications)
  
I can’t read your mind
You wouldn’t know it from the way you look at me
Always expecting something
Why can’t you just say anything that you mean
I’m sick of pulling teeth
 
Wait
The passively aggressive little games
Have got me sure we’re speaking different languages
I’m racking my brain and I’m feeling insane
Cause I’m certain things were fine yesterday now they’re floating away
And I just can’t seem to get a handle

I can’t read your mind
You wouldn’t know it from the way you look at me
Always expecting something
Why can’t you just say anything that you mean
I’m sick of pulling teeth

I can’t read your mind
You wouldn’t know it from the way you look at me
Always expecting something
Why can’t you just say anything that you mean
I’m sick of pulling teeth

Pulling Teeth [DEMO]

Another night conviction is calling
My better mind is begging me to call it

But I'll watch my resolve
Slowly dissolve
From frozen to ocean whenever you call
I swore I was done
But you always love
To prove me wrong

Back, forth, this cycle's never ending
I'm so exhausted always spending
All my time just to stay upright
I'm spinning, spinning, spinning
I'm tired of feeling dizzy

I’m self-employing every self defense maneuver I know
Avoiding Essex street and taking the long way home
I tell my friends I’m finally moving on but even I don’t believe it
(don’t believe)

And I'll watch my resolve
Slowly dissolve
From frozen to ocean whenever you call
I swore I was done
But you always love
To prove me wrong

Back, forth, this cycle's never ending
I'm so exhausted always spending
All my time just to stay upright
I'm spinning, spinning, spinning
I'm tired of feeling dizzy

Vertigo’s got me on the ground
When you wanna keep me around
Falling faster, always after
Never finding something better
I don’t think I have it in me
Back, forth, this cycle's never ending
I'm so exhausted always spending
All my time just to stay upright
I'm spinning, spinning, spinning
I'm tired of feeling dizzy

All my time just to stay upright
I'm spinning, spinning, spinning
I'm tired of feeling dizzy

Dizzy [DEMO]

Hard to feel unlike a burden
Harder still to feel deserving of attention
Of affection
When I've spent close to eternity and then some
Being taught a constant lesson
Of my detriment to every strand of fate

Battered will so close to breaking
Fragile mind up for the taking
Walking tightrope on the edge is where our threads first intertwine
Amethyst among the masses
Struck against monochromatic manic me

Walking nightmare in a daydream
Praying no one wakes me
Walking nightmare in a daydream
Hoping that you'll save me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walk into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom


Utterly unphased
By the patchwork way I'm made
Past the visage you can see the me I almost lost completely
To the vitriol in spades
And you're gazing with a weight
I am terrified is horribly misplaced

On a nightmare in a daydream
Waiting for the rug to pull from under
Nightmare in a daydream
Unbelieving that you saved me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walks into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom

And I don't know
If I can offer what you see in me
But I'll bend heavens, earth, the sun and moon
Trying to do the same for you
Tethering our hearts to start anew
Take what's withered, and make it bloom

Wither And Bloom

Sometimes I think I'm just your type
Cause I'm so good at being anything you like
Changing my person with your mood
Sometimes I think you hate me
Guess that makes you my type too

Take me around and show me off
A loyal Labrador who smiles and nods along
I’m getting used to being used
Just let the Stockholm syndrome set and make a pet for you

Cause it's not like I've got anything in my chest
And that makes me your favorite
Fucked up, strung out, god you make me a mess
But for your time I'll take it

You're overwhelmed and you can't choose
Which manufactured me is gonna look the best on you
Today, tomorrow who can say
The wind might call for major change
At least you know I'll always stay
You made sure I was built that way 

Use me just like model magic
Mold me like I'm clay
Shape me and remake me
And when you get bored just throw me away

Cause it's not like I've got anything in my chest
And that makes me your favorite
Fucked up, strung out, god you make me a mess
But for your time I'll take it
I'm just sitting here with nothing left
And that makes me your favorite
Every shred of self respect is spent
So for your time I'll take it
