Intro 01:39
lyrics

No need for any excuses Forgive the ones who are always clowning around I don’t know what the use is It’s taken far too long for me to figure it out Don’t get distracted by your real world obligations Let your inhibitions take the reins I’ll get on top when I get out of this institution Or is it a mixture of the two?

Broken Hands 04:27
lyrics

does it make me selfish hoping things will go my way fell before you felt it that was my first mistake on and on we carry on and when it stops I start to break I keep growing but I can’t grow out of it I keep moving but I can’t move on hope hurts like hell when you’ve got a lot of it and I got a lot of tension building I’ve had my share of friendships fail hurts like hell when you’ve got a lot of it and I’ve got a lot of it preparation repetition reparations all I’m missing desperation’s on my face What would you do in my position I turn a phrase you turn your face I love the way you never listen build me up or cut me down (I don't like it) I don't understand (when you say that) I’ll just watch the worst of it through my broken hands (I don't think you understand) build me up and cut me down (and that's the problem) I don’t understand (no solution) how you always slip away (just excuses) through my broken hands (3x)

As Long As You Leave Me 04:36

sick and tired of you trying to control me got your bags packed and you’re moving out how nice now you think that you know me but you don’t know what you’re talking about the gloves are off the claws come out the deed is done but that’s okay because as long as you're leaving now I can be invincible as long as you show me how wherever the day goes that’s where I’ll stay just as long as you're leaving now I know that you think you’re indifferent you think that I’m feeling the same I hide that my feelings are different cuz we both needed someone to blame

Capital Crime 06:01
lyrics

i'll believe anything you tell me to i don't care if it's the truth but sticks and stones can't be much worse then whan she utilizes words save it for later where'd we go wrong the noises in my head are deafening quick to anger raising the tone all i care about is who's at fault it seems we lost all our resolve a bitter waltz oh what can I say when every exchange is treated like a capital crime put me in chains lock me away treat me like a waste of your time i fell i fell into the ocean i tried to change my field of view i failed i fell into devotion there's so much more to me than you but who can say oh what can I say when every exchange is treated like a capital crime put me in chains lock me away treat me like a waste of your time deep in my heart til death us do part i'll know you for the rest of my life if that’s the case i pray for escape freedom can be so hard to find it’s been two weeks since we last talked and i’m sick of all the back talk i’m picking up my pack now and i’m fading to the background cuz it’s back to the matter at hand i’m not your typical plan i’m just gone in the blink of an eye i just got to have my piece of the pie one more time

Compromise 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Fallin, I’ve been fallin’ and I’m calling to you So rid me of my bones and i will bite my tongue strip me of my veins i haven’t felt this numb It’s not too late to compromise The first time for the rest of your life Found him, yeah they drowned him in the fountain of youth here we are side steppin’ every mine we cross you can take a number they can take the loss It’s not too late to compromise Open your eyes Let it all shine through We're getting a bit too close for comfort She said to me That's how it feels when you go under Going down until I drown She's dead to me It shouldn't hurt this much to love her It’s not too late to compromise Open the door step outside

Used 03:44
lyrics
buy track
You stay up nearly every night You say you’ve got it under control Pardon my prerogative and puncture my pride You never do what I tell you You say you wanna go for a ride Well you’re the one who’s in control Pleased to meet your untimely demise But you never do what I tell you I totally used you Watching you work is like watching you walk away Something I could get used to Under the surface I’ve heard it’s all about the same Do I amuse you Different in part because you already know my name I’m all what I’m used to And now I’m watching you fall away I took you for granted But granted you did the exact same thing to me As I understand it I’m standing alone surrounded all the same And so I imagine a beautiful world Where I’m a puppet without a string Can-do and I’m candid And now I’m watching you walk away But if I were to stay Would you help me? The feeling comes in waves Some not healthy But every single day You just count me out I thought I saw Your ghost

Idle Minds 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Short fused and mechanical He’s got something on his mind While the feeling’s understandable It doesn’t coincide with mine Started thinking like an animal I’ve been sleeping with the swine Don't you understand parameters of what is yours and what is mine There’s a knock at the door Why don’t you let yourself in? I know you’ve done it before But things are different now And things are better then Learned that lesson the hard way Now I know never again Chin up don’t fuss And don’t forget to take your vitamins It’s gonna be a wonderful day I just can’t breathe in this mutual environment It breeds such a horrible taste Of what comes next and take a picture it’ll last long Longer than the smiles it held But I don’t mind It’s all okay now I raised my hand and got a trophy for participation I tried to speak and I was shut right down Is that the way it has to be Every time there’s a knock at the door you gotta let yourself in I know you’ve done it before but things are different now And things were better then Learned that lesson the hard way Now I know never again CHORUS I swear I’m a total disgrace I’m a pile of garbage I swear I’m a pile of waste I’m a pile of garbage I swear I’m a total disgrace I’m a pile of garbage I swear I’m a pile of waste You can make me a target

When I Get On 06:12
lyrics
buy track
I’ll make a million bucks When I move out of my parents basement I’ll get my PhD in phony IOUs I’ll find a unicorn, a leprechaun Pay all my loans off Give to a charity or two I’ll fly to Paris for the weekend With my weeks allowance I’ll find a lover at the Louvre Pay my electric, gas, and water bill And still be smiling Nothing left to lose I don’t think that I know // what time it was Gone without a trace // at least we’re making history We had our moment alone // and that’s all it was Read between the lines // it ruins all the mystery I’ll pack up everything I own Retire and move to Florida I’ll buy a condo on the beach I’m looking fly, I got a Porsche A cane, and a big fedora I’m gonna practice what I preach If it’s within my reach And I don’t think that I know // what time it was Gone without a trace // at least we’re making history We had our moment alone // and that’s all it was Read between the lines // it ruins all the mystery Following my bad behavior Kill yourself and love thy neighbor It’s time to go Don’t worry it’s human nature Everybody’s favorite flavor But it’s time to show
