Like you I'm not what I seem I'm waiting for phones to ring You told me you miss the little things Like medicine talk It was everything to me You come and go but you never leave Your patience gets the best of me I told you I miss the little things Like playing our game It was everything to me Oh God, oh God, oh God I seem to have lost my love Now we float through this empty summer All that's left is this glorious pain My love, my love, my love I seem to have lost my God Now she looks at me like I'm a stranger As we float through this glorious summer I'm so lost without you...

Daffodil 04:16
Don't stop Up, down, sliding beneath Cause those legs have shaped my mind to sexual things, oh no So explode with the thrusts up in you And these men will use her for their tangent beliefs So fake death, and imitate a street fight defeat, and don't weep Cause I'm small but have size where it matters At least that's what she says when she's praying (preying) in bed But not on any bible she's my mantis instead If daffodils release in us the lovely things well I... Guess I'll talk like I'm scattered, is it just cause I'm flattered So let this law be set And blood-stained like some Capulet Oh, I allude my Juliet I don't see why she's feeling me, oh girl So snap back your attention over here There's no room to slip up in my life so I fear, baby Your so young, your so set, does it matter? And I care a little to much so it seems Stay content with rooms that smell of sex and TV If astronautics shows that were stuck on the moon We'll take it kinda slow, but we'll populate soon So when I see this through as just some poison mood well I... Will imply like I'm finished when all I've been is un-knitted slow And luck's found me a seamstress, oh my, she's high She's been so unwell, I front it so she cannot tell Lady, if you do not leave to save your health I swear, I'll break myself off medicine Doctor you back to where that chest inflates When two rips evaporate Well I'm so damn word But I must say more So here's where it all unfolds under track lights Afraid that she masters in submissions Deadly lady shout out all about all the injustice and I fall So with a magazine of blanks and a gun in my hand I'll frighten all that grace the hit list while they ruin their pants And for now the bloody ringing ears and dramedy of sleepless nights Well, I'm cracking up

Seventy-Six 03:41
Hey little lovely You've been swinging from my heart Laying in the street tonight Oh, it's all around me You've got me thinking that a summer sun Might just be alright But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing you were here tonight Instead of staring at the sun Talking through a satellite Hey little lovely I've got my best friends here Wishing you would come inside Oh, it's all around me Hear the kids in the party Drinking to the morning light But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing you were here tonight Light another one up so we make it through this night I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing you were here with me It's a good time honey, but you're everything I need, Yeah Take it off, take it off, yeah Get what you came for This is summer time Drink it up This is what we're made for

Ashes Ashes 05:28
Hey rubber, I'm glue I sure could use some pills to take the bounce right out of you And trampoline my toking habits back to 02' When Jane was looking but her Mary was not in view And did we think we'd fall like this? Ashes ashes for the kids Falling softly is the trick Defeat is the word on the street today And if I could unassociate Word on the street from my god damn, well it'll be a miracle So I take a piece from my favorite things And if they constitute this a forgery Tell them it's just me And that I'm free from everybody That tries to hold me Ooh, baby when you shake that thing for me You see all the player haters gotta come and step to me But what they don't know, and never will they know How far degrees and manners go And I've got both, so here's a toast, you just got owned Hey miss royalty Why can't you put a cap on making boys go crazy I'll be your king but fear that I am far too lazy I can't relax when pressured by conducted ladies So girls let that guard on down 'Cause we're just too weak to shield back up I'm breaking down the fortress in their heads And mine's on fire Ooh, baby if you're seeing right through me Don't think of taking credit cause it's just transparency You see ya won't know, and never could you know Where I do let my colors show I keep them close, not on my clothes, under those And if I dare to take my rage to town I'll fuel my rage with bars and bottles down Cause what I do know, and age will let you know Of simple cues like jack and coke And we've got both, so start to dose And when my mind is set adrift I think of all the boys she'll kiss I'll make their heads and concrete mix, a bloody mix And with that lasting taste on their lips I'll make the pain fall through to their kids I'm so sadistic, I'm sick and twisted, I'm close and distant And ashes ashes fall to the ground And ash is gonna cover the town And hopefully its people will drown And I can hardly begin to describe The way she makes me feel inside She breaks me down into a nothing Then I come back as her something She's the only one who knows But she never fucking tells me though What I am, or what we are And it doesn't seem we go far (Hell no, hell no, it sure doesn't) You smother my face, as if to cure the burning flames But baby it is you who's burnt I got your ashes in an urn I'll spread you in the Indian, Atlantic, Pacific Or just to be ridiculous I'll choose the Arctic Cause you're so cold, you'd be at home In an enclosed globe, I'll shake the snow and rattle your head (You're so damn cold, you'd be at home, you're so damn cold, you'd be at home)

Sometimes it's hard to find something to say So smoke away your brain today And don't say anything at all You see this month Is baked two-thirds it's way But I am oh so fully baked We box it and asphyxiate our cars You see we hide behind thick smoke occasionally But today we will hit the streets And gather high in great relief So what's up Ray? It's for you and all your roommates The one's that I may meet so late But catch up so quick with a hit And I'll just hide behind my lyrics, oh no And just relax and flow Never let you know Of all my highs and lows I stretch, as if to force and exiting Of my mind from my damn body But I can't escape from the sinking away So meds, quick on the double I see now this could be some trouble I cannot control, when I overload I'm calm and composed until I explode I need meds now on the double I see now this could be some trouble for me So I'll medicate with a hit And find some hiding writing lyrics, ah yes Just to prove we're the best And not like all the rest When we relax our chest (So just relax and flow and never let them know of all my highs and lows) So watch me I'll break free And follow all new beats It's like they say When you get down so low All you can do is grow But it'll put you in circles Why does everyone sit and stare having fun? I well, I'm mistaken And so paranoid do you figure that that is Contingent on questions of legal issues Well I guess it is So if you're thinking that that may stop me You got another thing coming from me And is my happiness Contingent on days two-thirds into this month, ah... You see we hide behind thick smoke occasionally But today we will hit the streets Well I stretch as if to force an exiting Of my mind from my damn body Watch me I'll break free and follow all new beats It's like they say When you get down so low All you can do is grow But it'll put you in circles

Kiss Kiss 05:42
Though you've got some lovely ties I'd say they kept me around She sighs But this is all too well Shotgun all up in my mouth So I'll go I swear it To leave me with nothing And you with my money And if the widow's what I see Then no seeds, only green To true friends showing sleves We're singing... Die, well if your allies find All my shortcomings then I will pry Into this shallow love Fixing such teenage mistakes But this mind is sexy And she's not a minor when I'm straight behind her So what's the comeback gonna be? Just raw sex When I sing Fumigation No breeze, we're singing... And this is the shit we're playing Kiss, kiss, then she forgets to come see me Fine, forfeit the invitations I'll be fine, alone and high And this is the shit we're playing Kiss, kiss, then she forgets to come see me Fine, fuck all the invitations I'll be fine, alone and high And for these last days I'll watch our brainwaves Wave goodbye, from no intersecting And you're so tired, but you're a liar So quiet, I'll write you some music Some war-like music For blood transfusions And I'd still flat line when you die You'll die, you'll die We're holding hands in a new place Our own place, our first place She'll make it smell like coffee I hate coffee, it bugs me But I love her, so I'll love it Smelling coffee, Sunday mornings I'll be your best Sunday morning This morning, good morning I'll be your best Sunday morning This morning, good morning

Hush Hush 01:45
These quote, unquote comrades Won't stand in my way The titles that they had were disposed of today There was a time this made my blood boil Is this how things should process in me? Is it a chemical imbalance or instability? Or do I know... Je t'adore baby, you are my lady That's how this stays Was only last weekend She spoils the day The night hits me like a brick in the face Was it the drugs or lack of the temptation? Or is it me? I know I'm not much to look at anyway So please spare me sweetheart So please spare me sweetheart My work has kept me a little late (I'm gone high as a rocket) Wanting off early so we have the day (Russian roulette and bong hits) My baby's patient and so full of grace (Keep me floating through atmos...) I'll never be late on the fourteenth day... (Fear I should speak but hush, hush now)

I think I have checked out from social encounters And found fortress in these walls But there white and crazy They scare and amaze me How they seem to keep me here So let the room flood now and I'll tear these walls down And sail so far away To a new city so coastal and pretty And that is how it's going to stay And if you know about me You know that I have got About a month til' I drop And curse this town What is it that I need then? Must I move everything to Sweden? Whoa, I will not go Just not yet I feel like I'm wrecked now and Berkeley should save me It seems I'm not by myself We're jumping in numbers, quick coming and going And I'll follow you all out My leave can't come too soon I fear this room will crush me And put me on display To raise the awareness and frighten the parents To pay closer attention to kids So they will never end up like this And if you know about me You know that I have got A million to nothing shot to make it out I'll never tear these walls don They'll stand keeping me from my girl's town Whoa, they say take it slow But I have, and I will lose my mind again And if you know about me You know that I would like To record for all my life I bet that Nick would probably go for the same thing (And we'd advocate misbehaving) Whoa, all these trick hos Which to choose? It's like I gotta show my lady as proof Of some sanity (And I will lose my mind again) When all of us know That this is insanity (As if Maria's just an object of proof) Oh, I love the way Maria makes me feel today The sunshine thrills and rain kiss for me And if you know about me You know that I have got About a month till I drop I'll curse the town that I'm not even at yet But I'd bet that it's where I'm landing Whoa, that's where I'll go And I'll stay And if you now about me You know that I can dream Without any kind of sleep I'd bet that Nick is exactly the same way And together we'll rip on this damn place Whoa, we'll take it down slow, Let it burn And if a fire's not enough, sing!

Marksmen 04:02
And it's times just like these When I say please Lock that mouth cause bombs escape from it, girl And watch them go, "hiss", "pop!" Right down my throat Explode, infecting all my lymph nodes Oh, marksmen don't miss my heart again Your toying never ends I kinda like how you sound With your mouth all bound Now on you should think before you part lips A tip for you And did you know I'm close to firing squads They call all from my backyard Oh, marksmen can I dodge your bullets again? It seems I am their friend But I don't wanna meet up with them It's like when all is said and done (Now I'm bothered and blue) You know you'll still be my number one (Where is my boo?) If you can't get that through your head "hun", I'm sorry (I love her, so open up those damn lips) I don't care (I need you) She left me no choice So I'll flee Seattle with a frown and a heart Scared to death It seems this is the best But I will call for living and breath It's like when all is said and done (And I'm still bothered now red) Will I still be your number one (All in my head) And say you love me (I can be as cold as a mountain) And say you lovely Nick: And always we should see through The things between me and you And always we'll keep in mind The love that we used to find And steal from each others eyes But I just cannot let go Of bombs she too soon lets go It filters into her speech And canon onto my beach And that's how I seem to lose When always she lights that fuse And lately it's found it's end And waits to explode again Easton: If you keep tempting I'll react By not reacting I'll fight back And I know where we'll get with that Hopefully nowhere and that is how A father's son shall deal And I know that is fucked up I know I am so damn fucked up I just want to let it go But I got evil forcess in my telling keep up my hold If you will love me I'll love back She tells me where I'll get with that And not to Sweden and that's a fact At least not when the sleeper's back... (My being so bold is getting so old The music just flows And that is when the dreamer's back...)

Panic attack Straight set me back Oh, so predictable Scream, if you need some help from me And if you do a bit I'll stab right into them And take right back what you had lost Mistake, mistake, but forever gone I'll ask why My company just dies 'Cause she's shy It's by the hands I'm skeptic of Dyslexic love depends on drugs These specless eyes have missed their fun Like starving troops denied their guns Take me back Harbor my logic laid on countless cards The ink tattoos and scars my heart Mister surgeon please do erase these By laser surgery, oh Kick it with me one night she'll set me free Panic attack Straight set me back Oh, so predictable Scream, if you need some help from me And if you do a bit I'll stab right into them And take right back what you had lost Mistake, mistake, but forever gone

Villains 04:42
My love is like a window pane Your love was like my life's vaccine And you're scared That it's not there anymore I could hear you toll the execution bell It ended with a shotgun shell And I'm scared That you're not there anymore I'm so scared that you're not there anymore Your soul is golden under your skill My heart is rotten from this past year And I know That you're not there anymore Seeing you is like a murder scene It breaks my heart With everything you do When I'm not with you When I'm not with you

Kid Icarus 05:47
I'm making plans for you and me girl They're taking time but that's alright You kissed me here for the last time You walked away without saying goodbye I'm thinking I'm better off alone I'm thinking I'm better off alone You let me move here to the city Tell me that everything will be just fine Now I am bleeding in a world I don't know, I don't know I'm just a sucker for a smile I'm thinking I'm better off alone I'm thinking I'm better off alone Just when I'm thinking I'm alone I open eyes to see I'm exploding in colors and fevers I'm starting it new My body is breaking into pieces Just look up at that summer sky I'm falling fast for the first time You watched me burn all through the night I'm thinking I'm better off alone I'm thinking I'm better off alone You know that things they must be changing When all you see is the sunrise When "little lovely" stops your breathing Just float with me here for a while I'm thinking I'm better off alone I'm thinking I'm better off alone
