ENOUGH!! Two years Now these white flags are coming up black RELIEF!! Is your mouths Politely sown up And if “Everyone Loves Everyone” Can anyone take the blame For all those knives left in all of your backs? So now I’ve made you a bed I’m here to make sure that you lie in it I watched the truth die Inside of fashion-forward cannibal tribes I sleep just fine at night with thoughts I didn’t purchase I sleep just fine without a bloated sense of purpose Oh it’s so sad, it’s so sad Now you’re running in place And I’m so glad, I’m so glad I put that look on your face I watched the truth die Inside of fashion-forward cannibal tribes I sleep just fine at night with thoughts I didn’t purchase I sleep just fine without a bloated sense of purpose I guess I should’ve known better Than to leave the art with you boys I guess I should’ve known better Than to leave this shit in your hands I watched the truth die Inside of fashion-forward cannibal tribes I sleep just fine at night with thoughts I didn’t purchase I sleep just fine without a bloated sense of purpose

Bangover 04:36
Sleepless We’re a far cry, with careless notes In a house that seems to move and bend Ignore and mend, ignore and mend itself Before we proclaim “This is the first and the last day sober” A weak carousel always traveling around Not a soul enjoying the ride Stiff neck, book ends, stop concentrating Weak legs, with a throat full of cigarette We can’t ignore and mend We can’t decide the worst (Wake up, put on your eyes) I think we’ve had enough Do you think we’ve had enough? I think we’ve had enough Let’s reset the dialogue Let’s reset these consonants “This is the first and the last day sober” A weak carousel always traveling around Not a soul enjoying the ride Stiff neck, book ends, stop concentrating Weak legs, with a throat full of cigarette We can’t ignore and mend We can’t decide the worst Keep those speeches close to your chest “This is the first and the last day sober” A weak carousel always traveling around Not a soul enjoying the ride Stiff neck, book ends, stop concentrating Weak legs, with a throat full of cigarette We can’t ignore and mend We can’t decide the worst

Yes, I’m afraid Yes, I am fearful As all these plans become diffusive And my only, my only… Constant trials Feeling content with all the lives I’ll never lead I’m settling You’re settling down Some days Some days I want to destroy What I have What I have worked to reverse Constant trials Feeling content with all the lives I’ll never lead I’m settling You’re settling down Constant trials Feeling content with all the lives I’ll never lead I’m settling We are settling We are days unnumbered

Lukas 04:04
So where did it begin? You watched your father rot away. His son receding He had no choice, as yours corrodes inside your veins React and relapse again You’re alive, but the ones that you love You’re scared you’ve abandoned them You lost a lifetime hiding in basements, namelessly wasted Never ceasing belief that you’re worthless But you know, and it’s shown in your cavalier heart I’ve pictured death a hundred times Amongst the kids flushed out with substances But I never pictured you No, I thought they’d have saved you Dead weight will always find you And I know that you feel them at your door You lost a lifetime hiding in basements, namelessly wasted Never ceasing belief that you’re worthless But you know, and it’s shown in your cavalier heart And then that day when I saw you cutting grass Along the road that led to your mother’s old house And I saw, I saw a glimpse of those days Inside the backyard, playing pretend You married my sister with a ring made out of clips It felt as real as we could get I should’ve pulled the car over Told you to get yourself together But I moved on I’m sorry I’ve moved on You lost a lifetime hiding in basements, namelessly wasted Never ceasing belief that you’re worthless But you know, and it’s shown in your cavalier heart Lukas, I know you’re still in there I hope there’s still a home for you somewhere

Vacant 03:52
Apathetic towards the design I cannot arrive Blacking out, and I’m speechless Now I’ve lost my sight You’ve lost your faith You feel the same as being alone And I have belief in this vacancy We pace this patiently Placed along the sheets’ divide These veins remain clouded, and I’ve gone back on everything And all those seconds ache along like hours and hours Spent as someone trying hard to retain Those faithless nights where I had to stay You feel the same as being alone And I have belief in this vacancy You senseless man, why don’t you send her home? Maybe tonight, maybe tonight These structures will breathe the life Back into my chest

Trophy Wife 03:38
“Old friend,” I think you lost your words again I think you lost your mind Oh no, I think those kids have found you out I think it’s time to hide Maybe it was all too much Maybe you were far too much Come and seize a different personality (Make them, make them see) But if it’s going too slowly Make it up as you go along (Make them, make them see) They’ll only miss you if you’re gone “Old friend,” I won’t let you get away From portraits you left Inside a frame that seems so contrived Come and seize a different personality (Make them, make them see) But if it’s going too slowly Make it up as you go along (Make them, make them see) They’ll only miss you if you’re gone You are the best at feeling rehearsed Always the best at feeling rehearsed (Don’t let them know me) We are the best at feeling rehearsed Always the best at feeling rehearsed (Don’t let them know me) Come and seize a different personality (Make them, make them see) But if it’s going too slowly Make it up as you go along (Make them, make them see) They’ll only miss you if you’re gone

Title Track 03:38
So cast a light to illuminate Our little home, our tiny lives But trust me when I say When I say we’re bigger than any sound That comes from the ones that are “beautiful” We are the ones who are privileged Mending fences that were broken I’ll place my hands along your backs As a promise to hold you above The water from the floods Of pasts disconnected, of hollow trust I’ll carry your burdens if you’ll stay with me Don’t go, stay inside Speak till the words hold our thirst through the night And you’ll say that no one comes close to what we hold And if they come for us, entitled and selfish I’ll say, “No more!” No, my chest cannot take it We are more than youth, no line to fall into We don’t need a second chance Mending fences that were broken I’ll place my hands along your backs As a promise to hold you above The water from the floods Of pasts disconnected, of hollow trust I’ll carry your burdens if you’ll stay with me

I formed a halo out of guilt, wore it proud as a crown Dressed myself, adorned a defense so sound Who are you to tell me where I lay my body down? I’ve hung my head just as low as I could Felt the heels upon my neck As I felt my throat break through to say (Heads hung lower than the leaves you’re staring at) “I’ve got a deathwish, but they won’t let me leave So I’ll take apart my body and toss these limbs into the sea Hope they won’t mind the forgery” (Heads hung lower than the leaves you’re staring at) So you’ve built this ledge Reprehensive with judgment as I inch forth “Bring me salvation” Oh restless, restless man Get those blackened feet running Your scenes are almost over and… “OH GODDAMNIT, WON’T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE? I’LL LET MYSELF OUT WHEN I’M READY I’M DAMN WELL READY, YEAH” I’ve hung my head just as low as I could Felt the heels upon my neck As I felt my throat break through to say (Heads hung lower than the leaves you’re staring at) “I’ve got a deathwish, but they won’t let me leave So I’ll take apart my body and toss these limbs into the sea Hope they won’t mind the forgery” (Heads hung lower than the leaves you’re staring at) So who are you to tell me where I lay my body down?

Lilacs 10:09
Oh sister, calm your heart down, let it go She needs you safe, she needs you safe tonight Just put your worst to rest And I need you to know, yes I need you to know That you’re the better of the both of us You’re the better of the both of us So if you go, let the lilacs grow Casting color into sunlight And if you go, let the lilacs grow Casting color into sunlight Ever grown, they will always show us home Don’t lose the color from your blue eyes The ones that you gave, the ones that you placed in me Always given me everything Reoccurring as the tides, a worry in these times ahead That I won’t make you realize that I need you I’ll always need you No, I won’t you go before me I won’t let you go first Not unless I lead So if you go, let the lilacs grow Casting color into sunlight And if you go, let the lilacs grow Casting color into sunlight Ever grown, they will always show us No, I won’t you go before me I won’t let you go first Not unless I lead Ever grown, they will always show us
