Track Name: Careless
Step off
Let’s go to the show
If your not ready then I’m gonna go
There’s too much that your making me miss
And I refuse to deal with this

So if you want you can stay back home
But I know that I’m gone
so I think you should know
This invitation keeps calling my name
But I’m being sincere, I don’t mean to sound vein

She’ll pretend that she don’t know me
I’ll go back to acting lonely
If you could care less then I could care less too

Quit the games and all the excuses
You think I’m done and out of uses
You’ve given up, well I’m giving up too

Come back
I’ve made a bad choice
I’ll take it all back and I’ll lower my voice
I just got amped at the sight of that kid
With his hands in your space and the things that you did

So I’ll pretend that I didn’t see
What you did with him and without me
If what you want is some idiot guy
Who’ll pretend that your not
Then im out, and I’ll say bye

You’ll pretend that you don’t know me
I’ll go back to acting lonely
If you could care less then I could care less too

Quit the games and all these excuses
You think I’m done and out of uses
You’ve given up, well I’m giving up too
Track Name: Quiet
It’s dark and cold and quiet out
And I really hope that they don’t find out
About all the things that I intend to do

Mother thinks I’m tucked in bed
And if I get caught I know I’m dead
And I know she’ll worry if I’m not around

So I’ll leave a note
And then wait for my ride
because I need to get
I need to get outside

Meet me in the park, you see, and
We’ll go hide up in that tree
And I’ll tell you all the things that I just did

Just stand here and let’s not move
Before they come and find me soon
And they find out all the clues I’ve left behind

And I’m sorry now for what I think I’ve done
I’ve killed a man and now I’m on the run
While the battles been fought, and dad would be so proud
Fathers gone, and I know that we’ll soon get found

It’s dark and cold and quiet out
and I Really hope that they don’t find out
Because if they do I know I’ll go insane…
Track Name: Burnout
I ask how and she asks why?
But if she asked me to jump
I’d ask how high?
If you only knew
About all the stupid shit she puts me through

She only calls when he’s not around
And when I head to her house and she can’t be found
If you only knew
Bout all the stupid shit she put me through

I’m just trying to find my way back home
It’s kinda hard when you won’t pick up your phone
Just forget it, the times we had
I’ll leave you be and I won’t be mad
Just pretend when I call you
That I’ve been dead and we’ve been through

Wheres my book and wheres my pen?
Because theres so many things that I can’t comprehend
If you only knew
About all the stupid shit she puts me through

She takes a hit and she passes it right
Yet she loves to complain that I roll too tight
She’s my burnout baby
And I’m burnt too
Although we had a good trip
Well, it’s time we’re through

I’m just trying to find my way back home
It’s kinda hard when you won’t pick up your phone
Just forget it, the times we had
I’ll leave you be and I won’t be mad
Just pretend when I call you
That I’ve been dead and we’ve been through

I ask how and she asks why?
But if she asked me to jump
I’d ask how high?
If you only knew
About all the stupid shit she puts me through...
Track Name: Like People Do
I sit around and look about
All the different things that I could see
And often times I think it out
And wonder all the things that I could be

I’m trying to move, trying to give, trying to live,
but it’s getting hard and harder with these things inside
I know it’s wrong and it’s buggin me out,
but I’ll move on the way that normal people do

I try look inside myself
and think about the life that I should lead
it’s hard to leave out what you want
and dealing with the things we really need

Time is a race, pick up the pace, there’s nothing to chase
But please be sure to get it
Get it done in time

You only live once, so don’t worry it out,
and find your way along like normal people do

Oh, and I know that sometimes life is hard, it’s hard, so hard to deal
With why, and how, and what I’m doing wrong
But if you live your life each day
Like everything is starting new, you’ll watch it bloom
And you’ll feel
You’ll feel all right, once you get it through
Track Name: ...And Then There Was One
You…
Were in…
My head…

You…
Thought that…
I said…

…that there was just one.

Would you like…
To play…
A game?

Even if…
You thought…
It was lame…

…And I can’t stop you
But I want to try to
Because I want to make this work

…Once.

Do you like…
What I…
Just said?

It was in…
This book…
That I read…

I read it once.

I read it… twice.

…or maybe I read it once?
Track Name: D.M.V.
I can’t hear anything in my mind
And the words are on the paper but I’m good as blind
Nothing seems to ever find it’s place...

Being away makes me long for home
But I find myself at peace when I am all alone
I’ll never find this balance like I should...

I want to be the one who lets you know
It’s never what you do but what you show
Hurts so much to me but I can’t slow down...

I don’t need advice on what I should say
But I bet the words you make are better anyway
The things I think just never find they’re place...

They say the song was as good as it gets
But I promise that you haven’t seen anything
I hope this all pulls through, and when it does...

I want to be the one who lets you know
It’s never what you do but what you show
Doesn’t seem right to me but I can’t slow down...
Track Name: Flesh
It’s been a long time
Since I last saw you
You grew your hair out
What a strange thing

Because if I think
I can remember all the times you said you cut it cus your head got hot and

This place is different
I know I’m home but
The change in your hair
Bugs me out

I wonder how long
How long I left
All I remember was that time was moving fast and now I’m…

Oh, that’s right, we’re stuck in a hole
Theres a rope but it’s swingin above my head
I’ve already tried to jump
And catch on but I can’t get a grip on it

We’re running out of food
And supplies cus
We’ve been in this hole for weeks
My flesh is falling apart
But I’ll save it, just in case I get out

I like my burgers
Without the pickles
Without the onions
Or Tomato

How do you like yours?
Sorry bout that I remember your vegan cus you didn’t like the way meat tasted

That such a strange thing
I never got that
It’s really healthy
It makes you strong

Unless it came from
A cow that lives in a field where the only thing it eats is grass and pesticides but...

That doesn’t matter now
because we’re stuck here
400 feet below the ground
It makes me hungry to talk
about food so
maybe ill just take a nap
we’re running out of light
and supplies because
we’ve been in this hole for weeks
My flesh is falling apart
but I’ll save it incase I get out
in a week
All my flesh was still intact but I think some fell off my cheek...
Track Name: Swordfish
You best play careful in the sand
Just make sure you stay close to land
They say he’s on a killing spree this season
But it feels like Christmas to me

Swordfish.

A Minion of the underworld
The legend grows as time old
And every year another tale
In order to insure a sale

It started as a scary fish
Whose tastes preferred a human dish
But that could work for just a year this season
We all need something new to hear

Since then swordfish grew some wings
You often hear the swordfish sing
A horrid song that he whistles as he kills you
It sounds like Christmas to me

Swordfish.
Track Name: Keys
I hear from someone that I know
You think that it’s your time to go

Why are you giving me the keys?
I guess they’re something you won’t need


but of all the things you said to me
Well the worst was your goodbyes
So I’ve got to find a way
To keep you here to stay
So I feel fine

Why is it that you think im strange?
I don’t see how I need to change

We we’re just sitting on the couch
and I’m still here but you’ve walked out


But of all the things that you said to me
Well, the worst was your goodbye
So ive gotta find a way
to keep you here to stay
So I feel fine

Please don’t forget about The Keys
Because I know that you won’t stay
Come back some other day
But not tonight…
Track Name: Here and Gone
Well I don’t know exactly when it started
First I’m driving, then I’m blinded

I get hit with this hit of the piercing white light
I’m so nervous, but it feels right

They took they grabbed me from side door
and they dragged me cross the dirt floor

As I’m howling I knew that I’d be ok
Oh, but I don’t think that I can describe

What I saw
that night
Because everything was white
It stopped here
and now it’s gone

And when I woke well I woke up in a soft bed
Then I relized, I was floating

And I felt
and I felt this different feeling
And I lifted
to the ceiling

As they walked well they walked just like a penguin
and they ate food they had children

When they spoke they spoke in a different language
Oh, but I don’t think I can describe

WhatIi heard
them say
I forgot it anyway

All that I know
is that everything was white
So dark
that night,
but the beam was so damn bright
It stopped here
and now it’s gone…

They
Never bleed
They know everything
They read magazines backwards…

Right
Right is wrong
Short is extra long
and they sing their songs backwards…
Track Name: Getting Older
Candle in the shed
Something else she said

I know it’s up to me
To see what’s underneath

I know, 'cus I’ve been told
It feels like I’m getting older
While everyone around me is getting older, too.

Wiffle ball with Mike
Loosing my very first bike

I know it’s up to me
Scrape, get underneath
I know cus I’ve been told
That it feels like I’m getting older
While everyone around me is getting older, too.

I know, 'cus I’ve been told
That it feels like I’m getting older
While everyone around me is getting older, too.
Track Name: Breathe
What would it take from you to notice when im not around
I see that your laughing at me, and you smile when I hit the ground
I know all the things you said to take me away from it all
I’m just trying to figure out why I’m here, but that means nothing at all
and theres nothing I could say that take it away and comfort me…

Oh, there’s a message in your eyes
and it’s full of all these lies
and you can hear it in my sighs…

I’m just trying to say to you what I think about when your not around
I think about all the things that I see, but then they turn into a sound
The sound is so deafening it wakes me, it wakes me to life
So think about all the things that I said, but don’t think about it twice
and there’s nothing you could say that would make it a separate part of me…
