Sometimes you find Yourself alone Wandering the streets Nowhere to go Maybe it's raining Maybe you cry Maybe this whole world's Passing you by But I don't mind I don't care I've got my own pain Watching you here And that's alright Whether you come Whether you go Facing the hill Taking it slow Maybe you'll make it Maybe you'll die Maybe this whole world Needs you to try But I don't mind I don't care I got my own life Watching you here And that's alright [instrumental break] Sometimes you find Yourself alone Wandering the streets Nowhere to go Maybe you wonder Maybe you see Maybe together's Where we should be But I don't mind I don't care I got my own pain Judging you here And that's alright

Here's to fashion Here's to glorious mistrust Here's to dedicating your life to bullshit so you can end up just like us Here's to silence Here's to living out your dreams Here's to giving up all you believe in so you can find out what it means It's the greatest train wreck I don't know what I'm supposed to say It's your final moment I just hope that I can slip away It's the price you pay Here's to passion Here's to staying til the end Here's to drifting off into the cosmos so you can finally comprehend Here's to boredom Here's to jumping in the fire Here's to the crumbling world that now surrounds us that people built up with desire

I don't know 'bout anything I can't see in my mind I just hope that everything I can do will end up fine And here we are... I don't know 'bout anything I can't see in my dreams I just hope that everything I can do is as it seems And here we are...

The Blues 05:05
Arrest yourself and do the time I could buy your thoughts at the five and dime This simple tale is a vast cliché Of an average man in his perfect place And now it seems like every chance Is a chance that we should take And all the people that we meet Are the people you are sure to break Explore your mind with a science eye But neglect your heart as a fearful lie This simple path is the path we choose But we'll never know if we win or lose

Snooze Bar 02:52
Alarm clock calls at 6am She should be home by now But I don't really care Snooze bar... She knows just how to call my name To wake me up at night I've had a shitty week But I need to get some sleep Snooze bar... I can't get to sleep 3am in the morning Birds chirp outside my window Why are they still here? Here... She never saw me sleep this late Before I learned to drink I'm standing at the brink And I don't know what to think But then she rises above But then she rises above But then she rises above To hit the snooze bar

Time Was 07:59
Time was we'd think of time Sit around the house and you have to wonder why Time was we'd lie alone Think about the life that we wish we coulda known But we got a lot... ot... ot... to believe in Yeah, we got a lot... ot... ot... to believe in And that's just fine Some days you lie around Think about the life that you wish you coulda found Some days you look ahead Dream about the life that you hope you coulda led But we got a lot... ot... ot... to believe in Yeah, we got a lot... ot... ot... to believe in And that's just fine I'm misunderstood I know I can't go on My love's been strong I that that we should move it along... Oh... [DECENT INTO DEATH]
