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
