Torn in two A stupid game We have to play It's not the same An internal dragging crisis Blurring lines Where's the art? And what's the catch? I'd rather you didn't listen There's clearly not a compromise I expected nothing anyways Running in circles Reaching for something Stop at nothing Makes sense to me No we don't wanna be happy Oh I guess we're existing Why don't you look inside? And why don't you criticize? Look backwards You'll see Your friends hate your friends Just a simple means to an end Humans hate humans If you look at the history You'll realize That all of our problems were caused by ourselves

Mad 04:59
Friends What fucking friends? It just doesn't feel that way When you barely see a face Words barely spoken What fucking friends? I wouldn't recognize you No I couldn't It's hilarious (Ha Ha Ha) The story can flip It can always be flipped It depends who you ask I'm mad at myself And I'm mad by myself And I'm mad at you Yea it's you It's so easy to do Just what you want to When no one's listening Why should they listen? Oh I'm mad at myself And I'm mad at you

Flying into space Eyelids blink in time A metronome of hate Pounding through my brain The thoughts, they come in waves I'm staring into space Waiting for that day... But it's all vague and bland Maybe it's all in my head As I lay down in space Colliding into shapes My mind lay back on Earth Frozen, withered birth My mind lay interspersed
4.
Sentiments they flood your mind The pine trees grow And in your heart you know The rivers flow down the bend A couple of people you thought you could call your friends Run away Run away, freight train dreams The insects, worms, they crawl beneath the cream It lays inside your bones you'll find It's not the same, you'll never find the time Run away

Quilt 04:04
I'm sick! I'm sick of being here Nothing ever happens Nothing ever happens And the days Stick together Weekends only get in the way When you do The same things Everyday Forget the days That I spend Simply waiting When I'm home I just want to leave And when I'm out I just wanna go home Back to the place where I stare at the mirror At the mirror I need to get out There's nothing I can do Please let me go Everything is ending When hope runs dry What do you do? Who brought me here? I'm still trying to get out I'm so sick

Listen to myself You can't dream It's in your eyes when you stare I hear your thoughts They're in your mind When you say okay No it's just not me Not just me Just not me Yea you were there Waiting for me By the garden across the lake Hidden in the shade So I'll never see your face again One more time is all it takes We'll shake Just blink and we will bend Back in time Oh yea I'm dreaming Your brain, your eyes, your tongue Fell right out of your head My eyes were colored and changing into outer space The stars you could see Planets spinning around I know it's not for me to see I'm dreamin'
