Backbone
03:45

Bet he's a keeper
I'm just the product of heartbreak recalled to the factory
Stitch me up, tear me down; whichever is cheaper
I've been waiting too long for a better outcome
What do they have that I don't?
I've got this backbone
Sure it's curved a bit from the weight of the world bearing down on it
Don't take this the wrong way like you've been known to do
But it's straightened a touch since I last saw you
I've got an ego bigger than you could imagine
But I tore it apart for this worthless attraction
Putting pen to paper, the real world feels so much safer
It left me out here alone so I'll return the favour
I've got this backbone
Sure it's curved a bit from the weight of the world bearing down on it
Don't take this the wrong way like you've been known to do
But it's straightened a touch since I last saw you
The lines on your face like the fades on your jeans
Tell a story that's got no more traces of me
I watched the ghost of you pave a road through Hell
Clearly my good intentions never served me well
The lines on your face like the fades on your jeans
Tell a story that's got no more traces of me
I watched the ghost of you pave a road through Hell
Clearly my good intentions never served me well
The ghost of you pave a road through Hell
Clearly my good intentions never served me well
I've got this backbone
Sure it's curved a bit from the weight of the world bearing down on it
Don't take this the wrong way like you've been known to do
But it's straightened a touch since I last saw you
The lines on your face like the fades on your jeans
Tell a story that's got no more traces of me
I watched the ghost of you pave a road through Hell
Clearly my good intentions never served me well

Alchemy
03:41

The bags under my eyes used to be carry on
but now I've gotta check them in every time I wanna move along
I don't know how the easiest thing in the world became so hard
but in the morning I just wanna get up and leave but I can't
I'm too tired to sleep
I've been trying for days
Believe me I can't stay on my feet
I don't know how I got this way
I've been trying my hands at alchemy
Turning lead to gold
I guess that would explain why this pencil I'm holding scratched down the lines I wrote
The bags under my eyes used to be carry on
but now I've gotta check them in every time I wanna move along
I don't know how the easiest thing in the world became so hard
but in the morning I just wanna get up and leave but I can't
I guess it's one of those days
Stretch it to one of those weeks
This is the time when I wanna turn my brain off but this is when my thoughts peak
I've been trying my hands at alchemy
Turning lead to gold
I guess that would explain why this pencil I'm holding scratched down the lines I wrote
I'm fighting my genes
I think I could take them if they're as bad as they say
I'm living my dreams and if they were nightmares
then at least I know I could cope
The bags under my eyes used to be carry on
but now I've gotta check them in every time I wanna move along
I don't know how the easiest thing in the world became so hard
but in the morning I just wanna get up and leave but I can't

Persistent At Best
03:30
|

I'm not used to giving up but there's a first time for everything.
I've been dragging my feet just to keep on the ground.
My souls are torn to shreds, just like the one in my head
Just like the one in my head.
Ae you aware of the time we've got?
Skip the spinning rims, we're on the clock.
I'm wearing myself down just to keep you around.
I fucked up this time but those fuck ups are mine.
I learned from the mistakes I made not too long ago
I'll play it smart this time
I'll play it smart this time
There's this distance I guess, but I'm persistent at best
and I've got legs don't I
I've got legs don't I
and when they buckle and I'm tired of running I'll crawl my way back home
and the bruises on my knees will remind me I've got nowhere left to go
There's this distance I guess, but I'm persistent at best
and I've got legs don't I
I've got legs don't I
and when they buckle and I'm tired of running I'll crawl my way back home
and the bruises on my knees will remind me I've got nowhere left to go

Sink Or Swim
04:06
|

I wish the world would end so I can just fall asleep.
I've been up all night every night for the past week.
I'd like other sleepless hearts so I don't feel alone in this.
I've come to terms with how we're falling apart.
I remember when yearning for the past meant looking back on a memory.
I remember when we could look back, but nostalgia's not what it used to be.
Hell or high water I'd go back there
But I'd rather the floods than the fire
Sink or swim I can just about stay afloat but I can't take the heat
so thank God I'd be dead on the pyre
I want a new perspective
I want to see the world anew.
I wanna see the best in everything like you do.
I'd like other bitter hearts so I don't feel alone in this
I've come to terms with how we're falling apart
I remember when yearning for the past meant looking back on a memory.
I remember when we could look back, but nostalgia's not what it used to be.
Hell or high water I'd go back there
But I'd rather the floods than the fire
Sink or swim I can just about stay afloat but I can't take the heat
so thank God I'd be dead on the pyre
I feel it, I feel it burning
I feel the waters rising.
I think in one swift decadent motion
I could put out the fires with the flames of the ocean
Hell or high water I'd go back there
But I'd rather the floods than the fire
Sink or swim I can just about stay afloat but I can't take the heat
so thank God I'd be dead on the pyre

Breaking Point
04:46
|
|||
Is it still called an afterlife if I never really lived the first one?
Could I get in with a plus one whose lived enough for two?
It never really hit me how one day I'd just end
But when I end I'll end it all with you
I've got the patience of a saint
If good things come to those who wait
I'm expecting so much to come to me
I should have given up long ago
But I know that I can get you the way you got me
I can get you the way you got me
Is it still called an afterlife if I never really lived the first one?
Could I get in with a plus one whose lived enough for two?
I think I'm reaching breaking point
I guess I could stay right here so you can play catch up to where I am
I know that I can get you the way you got me
I can get you the way you got me
Is it still called an afterlife if I never really lived the first one?
Could I get in with a plus one whose lived enough for two?
It never really hit me how one day I'd just end
But when I end I'll end it all with you
I've been asked how my days
I say that everything's fine
But I can see in the eyes of the people who ask me
They can tell I'm lying every time
I'm a liar and that's all I'll ever be
I'm a liar, but what more can you expect from me?
I've been asked how my days
I say that everything's fine
But I can see in the eyes of the people who ask me
They can tell I'm lying every time
I'm a liar and that's all I'll ever be
I'm a liar, but it's working out for me
Is it still called an afterlife if I never really lived the first one?
Could I get in with a plus one whose lived enough for two?
It never really hit me how one day I'd just end
But when I end I'll end it all with you

Calm Down
04:44
|
|||
I'm haunted by moments passed
The way we're not built to last
I'm holding myself hostage to this half empty glass
There's a wasted waste of space on this wasted stage with a voice going out of style
Well I guess I could stay for a while
I guess I could stay
So calm yourself down
Everything's gonna be fine
And even if it's not, it's the best we've got
I bet the guy next to you is having just as bad a time
If not worse than mine
Give me your best shot
Trust me I can handle it
I've been taking what you've been dishing out all night
I've been wasting my time
Begging to escape the sight of myself looking pathetic
To my credit that's my new just fine
So calm yourself down
Everything's gonna be fine
And even if it's not, it's the best we've got
I bet the guy next to you is having just as bad a time
If not worse than mine
So calm yourself down
Everything's gonna be fine
I really wish I could believe it
You fucked me up and now you're leaving me
I bet the guy next to you is having just as bad a time
If not worse than mine
