Breathe Deep 02:41
And when it felt like we were lost Scared by the screaming that was coming for us So we traded beans for all of the smallest favors Some Fellini bubbles, gimlets and your strap-on ruler Don’t run away Come inside again It’s all okay We gotta breathe deep We gotta breathe deep For a hundred nights we were one Out in the streets mixing it up, face in the sun Til the reaper came and pointed his finger at you When we all laughed he said I bet you’d like to come too Don’t run away Come inside again It’s all okay We gotta breathe deep We gotta breathe deep

Prehistoric patterns of a clan mentality Keeps me from true reality Why should I care about what you think When I play it back my heart sinks Was it last night, or the day before? What have I done, have I hurt anyone Do I need to call? And if I ask, will you dredge up the past? It’s all in my head or am I better off dead? Do you know me? Do you care that I need To know, that you still love me Even though I can't seem to let go? I said enough I’ve said way too much I’d take it back if I knew I could I said enough I’ve said way too much I can’t face it but I know I should I know I should I know I should Way too much

My Friends 04:30
My Friends They don’t come out no more Inside They got lives and chores But tonight, tonight, alright You can find me on the floor My Friends They don’t come out no more, anymore We love nothing better than a good time The house, it was a rager but now it’s only just ash I keep a rollin but you can turn out your lights My candle can flicker til it burns out My Friends They don’t come out no more Inside They got lives and chores But tonight, tonight, alright You can find me on the floor My Friends They don’t come out no more, anymore My sisters and brothers I’ll testify that I Have to admit that it’s been a very long time Of chasing the devil until the plague it arrived So we got to party like 1999 My Friends They don’t come out no more Inside They got lives and chores But tonight, tonight, alright You can find me on the floor My Friends They don’t come out more, anymore

Sum Of More 03:24
Can you keep our little secret? You know I mean it It’s for me When I thought you were my savior We’d be together On TV More, more, I want more She was shot down by the river And now it’s my turn It’s all for him If what you hear sounds kinda funny It’s not the money That I bleed More, more, I want more
6.
Hey there little big man You’re looking fine Everyone loves you You’re always right Little White Lie Don’t you wonder why Anyone cares at all Little White Lie Another compromise Maybe they won’t even know Hey there mighty mountain man Chiseled from stone I can’t be trusted When we’re all alone Little White Lie Don’t you wonder why Anyone cares at all Little White Lie Another compromise Maybe they won’t even know And when we go down I’ll take the fall You’re sitting pretty I lost it all
7.
Faded story, bombshell letter Not to worry, we’re gonna get her A hostile jury we can weather Not in a hurry because we still have all the star power A moment of outright cruelty With all of your crying Flash of spoiled aristocracy And all of your lying Have you ever blacked out Amy? So tell me Was there a time when you couldn’t remember All that happened on the night she said you laughed at her? A moment of outright cruelty With all of your crying Flash of spoiled aristocracy And all of your lying Have you ever blacked out Amy?

Disconnected 03:57
First you friend me Then you flame me Quite a shocker That you’re a stalker You, me, we, yeah Those we cling to We cling to now Should have gotten rid of them Don’t you blame me Blame me by proxy Because you got a broken brain Disconnected Good Bye to you Disconnected Unplug from you too First you wooed me Because I let you We were tight then But now it’s different You, me, we, yeah Words they fail me So I don’t use them Silence is my minimum And there you are You are spouting Poison pud all over me Disconnected Good Bye to you Disconnected Unplug from you too You, me, we, yeah We just keep on We just keep moving Broken hearts just mend that way But I can’t stop Can’t stop lurking Pumping blood just feels so nice
9.
Living in the city, living downtown I took the train home but you're not around Pushed the door open to no one inside But a stacked of opened letters from a week and a night Since you went away Since you went away I lost myself trying to be ok Pull the shades closed because my eyes need a rest Left a note on the table, not call or a text Since you went away Since you went away I lost myself trying to be ok
