Childproof 03:30
Oh when did you fall off the edge? When I only had my back turn for Less than a few minutes I planned to childproof you Like the cap on happy pills That make you see the world above Like the world below It’s a good idea to focus more on things You know can be fixed Oh I know it seems like Like I’m not even trying But I swear I am Couldn't save myself But there’s still time for Time for you to And don’t you let it get you down There’s still work to be done here And don’t you let it get you down There’s still hope to be found here If I climb to the top of this tree And jumped off the top Would this all Stop? no

I lay down on the ground Breathe in oxygen Hear the soft pitter patter Of sticks on the carpeting We march in the rain We march in the heat we Run in cold and talk the nights away And sometimes it's enough that I can remember The good stuff, like Falling asleep And wanting to wake Falling asleep And wanting to wake the next day I close my eyes lose track of the time Feel the warmth of the black top On my sore back And sometimes it's enough that I can remember The good stuff, like Falling asleep And wanting to wake Falling asleep And wanting to wake Falling asleep And wanting to wake Falling asleep And wanting to wake the next day

Maybe we could stay the same Through all this change that only brings Confusing philosophies The simple complexity And we’re barely getting by Cause everybody is too Busy branding pretty For you and me Can you tell me why we can’t all get along Like before when no one was pretending Can you tell me why we can’t all get along Stop playing nice 'cause I’m not buying it Wish we could’ve stayed the same Confusing philosophies are slowly Breaking Try so hard you don’t know why you Try so hard you don’t know why it matters Does it even matter? The worth while things in life are just as Tired as you are Trying to hide the shame The shame of being sane

How do I love thee let me count the ways I love you more than the Indy runway The song bird sings His plume to gloat I’ll grab the freak And wring his throat La lalalala laaaa La lalalala laalala How do I love thee let me count the ways I love you more than blackberries in May We swing beneath Blue skies and leaves Forgetting all we use to be Forgetting all we use to be

Lonely Ones 04:00
Our eyes will turn back clear Let your mind run over again With hope our eyes will turn back Lonely ones And you controlling ones Oh lonely ones You controlling Find a way out Don’t give up Don’t Fall away Away or else They’ll kick you around They’ll kick you when you're Down They’ll kick you around town And it wasn't always this way It wasn't always And if you say too much It’ll all fall apart We’ll be found out Let your mind run over again With hope our eyes will turn back Lonely ones And you controlling ones Oh lonely ones You controlling
6.
T-t-t-tell me the story of your life No tall tales, just the harsh cold lies At first you stutter Light turns to night, and you Begin your chant I apologize for all the wrongs I’ve made, but I try and I try and I just can’t change You never hear me when I’m speaking You never let me finish what I’m saying I have a life on the telephone lines Please let me be Time will find you Time will find you Should’ve left a long time ago If only I had known Should’ve left a long time ago If only I had stood my own Kids oh oh how they grow so fast Kids oh oh how they grow so fast Time waves and it’s gone

A bruised eared boy And a bending girl A bruised eared boy And a bending girl They traveled over mountains and hills Seas and streams Just to find who they’re meant to be Lose past identities and maybe Pull back the blinds that have Blackened their lives Live the dreams That have never been told Because of the fears That we deeply hold A bruised eared boy

Pretending 03:32
Buckets full of laughter though there was nothing Funny going on And their sarcasm only thickened As the night grew long If you can live with it Well then good for you Though everyone I've met so far Finds it awfully hard to do You gave it all away and yet still managed To keep her respect And it was fine until you saw her Following in your steps Crush your pride stop pretending that everything’s alright Cause people get hurt and people die Nothing here’s your own Not even your life
