Returning From The Grave
10:26

Lyrics:
How come all my friends
Who never left home
Are all digging graves that all say
The lost and unfortunate lie
Here
From the sticky air
That clings to my skin
That makes me feel like
I'm giving in
Trying not to become
One of the lonely ones
Well I'm back
Back in fashion
Back and walking
Hurtling fast
Fast as a rocket
Pusling socket
It seems to me
I've gotten back my life
It seems to me
That I
Feel the rhythm
Let it pulse through my body
Cause I'm alive
So is there anything
That I missed
During my absence
While I was gone
Was there anything
That happened
Any event that transpired
That you think
I would like
To be privy to
Is there some
Piece of information
That you think
Would radically change
The way that I view
The world
That would blow my mind
Completely take me by surprise
Turn me upside down
Anything that
Would make me see
The world differently
The trees
The sky
Something that would make sense of why
I am
Suddenly walking down the street
After I swore to God
I was dead
That I would never breathe again
Yet somehow I am floating by
Somehow I seem to be moving
Effortlessly
Through concrete dreams
That I didn't think
Would be around me
Cause I thought I was in the ocean
Dead
In the middle of the ocean
Maybe I should slow down
Take it back a second
Hey can you pause the music for a second
I need to be able to think straight
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Cause none of the streets look familiar to me
None of these faces look the same
I don't recognize this place
Cause I can't tell where I'm going
Everybody's looking at me
Something is off
But I just can't place it
This whole place is odd
But the music is making me move
Like I was never dead
As I look around
Everybody's grooving
Our body's into
Sweat
It feels like we're going to explode
Even though
It's not the way
I would like
I will just be thankful
That I'm not still floating
In the ocean
Belly up waiting for death
Instead
I'll keep moving
For now
Cause I'm alive

Day Trip
05:07
|

Lyrics:
A washing machine runs as I
Try and close my eyes
Though there is this nagging
To try and keep some light
So I keep them open
And stare at the ceiling
I'm afraid I'm drowning and going under
And my arms are tired from treading water
And I just wanna hear your voice
Cause down here it's just muffled noise
I'll be honest
If you were drinking coffee in the distance
I know I wouldn't come
Up to say hi
Cause I would hope that you've gone
On to a better life
And this is just a stupid
Fantasy of mine
I'll be honest
I pray you're drinking coffee in the distance
It's a fucking round tip to your house
But I don't go there cause I know I'll break down
It's a fucking round tip to your house
Well hey I think I've found the fulcrum
It's this place between night and the rising sun
When I swear I see your face
But it's gone by daybreak
Sweet girl if we could lose this day trip
And have you in our arms

Coma
03:34
|

Lyrics:
Take me back in time when
I knew exactly the rate
The Earth would rotate
When I stood on it
Cause I'm getting this vertigo
And I'm losing all sense of balance
And I'm getting all twisted and turned around
Cause I'm getting this vertigo
And I think I'm gonna vomit
I just can't seem to keep my feet on the ground
Take me back in time when
I knew exactly the rate
The Earth would rotate
When I stood on it
Cause either I'm sad all the time
Or completely removed from my mind
God I'm trying so hard to do something but I keep getting this stomach drop
Can't quite stomach

Loved Life
03:33
|
|||
Lyrics:
It's weird the way we think about the past
It's strange we tend to think and focus
On what we no longer have
Because the past makes me sad
My bad thoughts have taken me lately
I think I
Once loved life
At least at some time
Oh, but I'm
I'm not quite sure

Complaining
03:06
|
|||
Lyrics:
How come it takes me so damn long
To fall asleep
How come it takes me so damn long
To comfortably breath
How come it takes me so damn long
To finally see
That I am getting sick
That my eyes are weak
That I should try and spit
A new way of speech
Why do I like self-sabotage
To my feelings
Why do I love this mirage
That makes my future bleak
Why do I make it so damn hard
On me to just be me
Can you walk me to the morgue
So I will fear death no more
You're alive
You'll survive
Just don't forget to close your eyes
Maybe you should sleep
Maybe you should stop complaining

Carpet Burn
04:54
|

Lyrics:
How many ways do I crash
How many ways do I fall
How many ways do I trip
So I guess
I should practice my endurance
And I'll run
As these streetlights flick
How many ways do I crash
How many ways do I fall
How many ways do I trip
If only death and decay
Wouldn't take up my days
If only death and decay
Weren't so prominent in my brain
If only death and decay
Would just pass away
So I could fucking sleep
How many ways do I crash
How many ways do I fall
How many ways do I trip
Cause oh god I'm sick
Cause these pins and needles are starting to stick
All over my skin
How many ways do I crash
How many ways do I fall
How many ways do I trip
Oh god I'm starting to think this is the end of everything
Oh god I'm starting to think maybe this is the end of me
How many ways do I crash
How many ways do I fall
How many ways do I trip

Youth
02:25
|
|||
Lyrics:
We are the youth
The youth of this town
Let’s take these streets
That run under our feet
We are the youth
The youth of this town
Let’s spend tonight
Drinking away our lives
We are the youth
The youth of this town
Here in this city
So vast and empty
We are the youth
The youth of this town
We take our drugs
To forget we’re numb
We are the youth
The youth of this town
We'll all crash
Cause we keep looking back
At our youth
The youth of this town
We are the youth
The youth of this town
We are the youth
The youth of this town
We are the youth

Lyrics:
All I hear is an echo
Coming back in the rain
If we had never crashed
Crashed into each other
Do you think
That we would be doing better
I wanna to try and make this better
But seems somehow I always make things worse
Saying the wrong things
Doing the wrong things
Maybe I should just shut up
But I can't
Cause it seems that
Against my best intentions
I'm texting you some story
About some boy
Who met some girl
That he fell for
And against all odds
We always end up
Back in
One of our cars
Driving around
Going nowhere
We haven't moved since we first met
It's always the same thing
Either you or me are driving
Though what's so bad about that
Cause in the moment
When we are driving
It is easy to forget that
We're both heading
In different directions
Depending on
Who is in the driver's seat
These trips are so much better
When they're with you
These streets could go forever
Oh I swear
If you were near
I'd be good
I'd be good
It feels like two years
Since we last spoke
I'm not giving up hope quite yet
Cause I
Still believe
That if you or me
Were driving
We'd probably
Never park again
If beauty's in the eye of the beholder
Can I be holding you
Don't you wanna try to be
Better again
I swear every time we try
We're a little closer
And I'd be lying if I said
I didn't wish you were next to me
Oh god I wish you were next to me
