Is It Over Yet?

How many times, did I forget?

How many ways, did I let go?

How many ways, did I let them down?

How many ways, did I fail on my own?

I'm asking you to tell me

Don't hold back, please tell me everything

Don't hold back, I need to hear it

Seven Day Weekend

No, I won't be afraid of this

No, I won't waste this life

I got up this morning

There's just so much to do

I'm making moments

But I can't really show them

What am I doing here?

I think I might be somewhere else

Tell me baby, are you lonely tonight?

I feel like I need something, to get over

Tell me how to have fun

I'm getting older

And I've got to go now

I'm alone now, I'm all right

I'll just go back

To missing something...

Regulation Broadcast

I know why you're mad

I know why you're sad

I know everything you don't

I leave all the past, you won't

Heaven knows, I'm so clean

I don't care what I'm gonna be

Heaven knows, I'll get in for free

Want to know how? I'll let you know my fee

No I won't repent now

No I won't give in

No I won't apologize

I'll only walk away, today

I don't recommend a full view

Don't take it all with you

Hold back the truth from view

Let it go, let it all go

Innocent Bystander

I don't know, what to do

I am told, I'm not an ally

I don't care, I'm absolved

Not a worry

I'm the culprit, of a mob

I will lead, my funeral

No you're not profound

I won't disappear

I'll stay right here

I'll always watch from

The eye I'm not behind

Ideals can never die

You'll like it this way

And my work is done

Bootlicker

Yeah, I'll bring you there

You want me to take you there?

I know what you need, and you don't even know

I got everything to make you happy

I got everything you want

I got everything, but I still want it all

I want to do everything

Yeah, just tell me

What you want me to do

I'll be your perfect little sub

And I'll serve you

You know you want, to be the one

I choose for eternity

I've been telling you

And I've been begging, please

I would give it all

Just to leave with you

Community of Interests

Please don't give up

Think of them, think of them

Locked in a struggle

Feel them all, become someone else

To belong

Out of air, but not to breathe

Holding back the truth

When they don't even care about you

They've been hiding everything

To get back to where they've been

I don't care about anything they say

I just want to be alive

Before it's too late

Guilty Ghost

I'm on the way to be

I'm on my way to flee

I'm feeling poor

No ounce of guilt

I live life once

Cause it's all been done

Now your ghost

Needs to feed

No one stays

It's not for free

Send it home

Before it eats

I don't care if I don't need it

I'm on the way to be

I'm on my way to flee

Late at night, going home

I know I, miss you so

Call me babe, I don't know

Take me back, before I go

Before I go

I don't wanna go

I need to go

The Road We Never Take

Let them go, it's not my responsibility

Let them live, you don't have to leave them with me

I forgot, what I know I have

Don't patronize me, I'm quite well aware

I always wondered, about the miniscule things

Just like how, I should love what hates me

Never let them get you

Or get under your skin

They only prove it

When you lose it

Don't ever break it

Don't ever fake it

They’ll never be as good as you

I’ll never be as good

Waiting for the last chance

To make things right

Hostile Adoration

Don't forgive me

I'm already gone and lost without you

Don't destroy me

I got to get it all

I guess I'm coming back?

No I won't

I'll be afraid of anything, cause I've been shown along

I guess I can't go alone

Not another one

Not another one

Brave, brave, and so beautiful

Not a care at all

I just want it so

But I don’t care at all

Let me go now, get all your time back

I've been thinking of some way to feel

But I don't know how

Let me go, but make me stay

I got so much more

I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

Wanna Bet?

No one bets on me

Find out what they want me to be

Stakes call, and they turn away

I won’t just let them win

I wonder if, on my deathbed

They finally see, my pedigree

And go back to those days

Of all my offenses

And all of my mistakes

So many ways to let down, myself and everyone

No I won’t

Retriever

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to feel like I’m going under

I don’t want to tell them about the other

I don’t go anymore, I don’t even bother

What did you want from me?

How can I see?

What did you get from me?

I don’t know how to feel love anymore

I’m breaking, and south always wins

Loving everything that I left behind

Always see the positive, in things I don’t have anymore

I only like, the things I lost

I only want, the things I gave away

Meaningless

Why? Did I try so hard?

Nothing matters, nobody cares

They all help themselves

And no one knows

I hate it all, and I hate myself

Why? I don’t know why

They all just laugh, they all just lie

I don’t know why, I want to die

I feel the pain, of everyone

I blame them all, cause they don’t have fun

And I don’t care about their stupid guns

All I want to say is, we’re done and gone

Where did we go now that life is over?

Where did we go when they all said we couldn’t be what we want?

Where did we go when they said that we couldn’t be everything we want to be?

And they’ll just say, yes you can, cause they don’t really love you, anyway
