What’s this you’re telling me, oh no Something that they’re selling me all right Come on give me something to believe Give me something that you just can’t see Won’t you give me something that you think I’ll understand What’s this inside of me all right Tell you that’s they’ll lie to me all night Baby give me somewhere I can go Give me something that I’ll never know Won’t you try to look at me again and tell me everything you can I know that so far it’s so low And you know it’s as far as we go Why am I walking upside down Why are you turning me around Baby won’t you give me one last kiss Try to pull the trigger just don’t miss Come on just don’t roll your eyes when I want to make my final stand How come they’re trying to cut me down Tell me that I’m loud without a sound Come on can’t you see that I’m a mess All I want to do is take off your dress Why don’t you just you smile at me and try to tell me that you understand I know that so far it’s so low And you know it’s as far as we go Just don’t go and break up the band When they’re still trying to be Something only I can understand Something just for me Come on baby give me one last kiss Try to pull the trigger just don’t miss Come on just don’t roll your eyes when I try to make my final stand I know that so far it’s so low And you know it’s as far as we go

Parachute 02:58
This time I’m already gone for the night The parachute Just play it loud for while and you’ll Stay true to your school Want to turn it on But it’s over now and seven years have gone Got to take control But the band broke up ‘cuz that’s just rock & roll Her kick drum was already lost for a while This parachute Let’s fall and take it for a ride on the mile And we’re tearing through Want to turn it on But it’s over now and seven years have gone Got to take control But the band broke up ‘cuz that’s just rock & roll Locked down you pull the ripcord down again Let down and taken for a fall On hardwood floors the moon is yours but I still chase it uh huh There’s no surprise left in the skies I want to save it uh up Gonna turn me on But it’s over now and seven years have gone Got to take control When the band breaks up I’m saved by rock & roll

I drove a million miles away to get you And I have never even gone so far I’d even break my heart this time to let you The radio takes me home just like my car I want to tell you something all the same My speakers blown out even though you’ve changed She sees me so obsessed and so insane Amplified alive I found a million ways to say forget you And I have never tuned up my guitar With fuzz and dirt delay ok I fret you My broken hands will gladly wear the scars I need to tell you something all the same My speakers blown out even though you’ve changed She sees me so obsessed and so insane Amplified alive I want to tell you something all the same My speakers blown out even though you’ve changed She sees me so obsessed and so insane Amplified alive Amplified alive Amplified alive Amplified alive

Gaslight 03:45
You better say something before she steals a minute You better say something before she knows You better say something before she knows what’s in it And tries to find out where the gaslight goes And it goes And it goes You’d better do something before she starts to spill it And hits the gas right where the green light glows You’d better do something ‘cuz she’s a mile a minute You’d better find out where the gaslight goes And it goes And it goes I want to tell you something with absolutely nothing to say You locked away your secrets and tried to hail a grievance today You want to be a victim you tell me while you still get your way Instead I’ll tell you honey the blue sky isn’t nothing but gray You better find out where the gray girl goes to fill it You better find out what the way girl knows You better find something before she spends a minute And tries to find out where the gaslight goes And it goes And it goes You better get down where the black heart tries to spill it You better get down where the green grass grows You better dig down where the deep dirt tried to mill it You’d better find out where the gaslight goes And it goes And it goes I want to tell you something with absolutely nothing to say You locked away your secrets and tried to hail a grievance today You want to be a victim you tell me while you still get your way Instead I’ll tell you honey the blue sky isn’t nothing but gray

With a cold hard stare she takes my guns far away It’s not for long she starts to say, just for today Everybody knows I'm insane The record store is closed so we take it day by day I can feel my black heart starting to climb and tear away the lines Every time I stand and complain You try to turn my mic off on me once again I can hear the rhythm section starting to sing with all the grief I bring And everybody knows When she’s scared she starts to burn to light my way When it all comes down I wait my turn, she comes to say Everybody knows I'm insane The record store is closed so we take it day by day I can feel my black heart starting to climb and tear away the lines Every time I stand and complain You try to turn my mic off on me once again I can hear the rhythm section starting to sing with all the grief I bring And everybody knows

Barely There 03:37
Deconstruct the value Calculate the fall Another breakdown that she’ll barely survive Now I've heard it all Sometimes I think about it To make sense of it all The opening act deep into first bloom Crashing down the hall Let it go, you’ve gone so low Just let it go, they’ll never know The winter sun's the brightest Now I take the cue I shield my eyes when morning first arrives With nothing else to do With everything demolished My eyes turned toward the sun I walked away with nothing to say And dropped the smoking gun Let it go, you’ve gone so low Just let it go, they’ll never know I write it down but it makes no sense When you’re standing at the door I drop my hammer but stand on guard I never use it anymore I’m barely there I’m barely there I’ve often tried to right this Reflections of my skull I only surmised that I merely survived With nothing left but the lull Let it go, you’ve gone so low Just let it go, they’ll never know I write it down but it makes no sense When you’re standing at the door I drop my hammer but stand on guard I never use it anymore I’m barely there I’m barely there I write it down but it makes no sense When you’re standing at the door I drop my hammer but stand on guard I never use it anymore I’m barely there I’m barely there

How many times do I have to say I’m sorry? When I still tried to save it for you now You never bothered to tell me that you lost it That’s when I knew that it was coming down When I try to say that I don’t ever want to waste my time again That’s when I still thought they’d ask me how it ends And she comes today to say that it’s all right until the very end And then she says, at last I’m on the mend How many times did you tell me that you saw me All broken down he said without a sound They only wanted to tell you what the cost is That’s when I knew they’d take it underground When I try to say that I don’t ever want to waste my time again That’s when I still thought they’d ask me how it ends And she comes today to say that it’s all right until the very end And then she says, at last I’m on the mend It goes to show what we all know that somewhere I Can find it hard to take it all away, so they say When I try to say that I don’t ever want to waste my time again That’s when I still thought they’d ask me how it ends And she comes today to say that it’s all right until the very end And then she says, at last I’m on the mend

Nothing 03:06
The present unwrapped today, but you’re so far away Frozen in time no matter what they ever say The Wi-Fi is broken and we’re wasting your time They think this belongs to them but it’s only mine on this day And you said all along That the light is so strong When we sit and we talk about nothing So far away son, I’ll help you see this through I locked away all my guns, there’s nothing left for me to do The sound of the mourning when you stand before the light You tell me it’s all turning blue but it’ll be all right it’s true And you said all along That the light is so strong So we sit and we talk about nothing And you said all along That the light is so strong When we sit and we talk about nothing

She whispered this but you know their secrets While baby's breath and washed-up regrets call you You save it all bunched up inside you Hide away in time to find it all new This time I’m never gonna talk I hide away with nothing to say at all She laughed and said, You see right through me? A thousand years means nothing to me at all You whisper this but oh so softly And keep your secrets and then you watch me fall This time I’m never gonna talk I hide away with nothing to say at all And in my dreams I run, but I can’t go Stared into the sun until they’ll know This time I’m never gonna talk I hide away with nothing to say at all

My Nightmare 04:01
When you say that you want to crash my car again And you try to scream but then you bleed, a vampire ‘til the end You come to tell me you led me back to fight again Just when I could see, you blinded me and broke my back for them, But I know You close your eyes again, but you’re gone in time for me My nightmare’s on again, and they’ll never let me sleep Her knife’s so cold again, and you know it’s gonna sting It’s almost dawn again, and I know This time you let me disguise this thing inside again But you’re telling me what I can see—they’ll rip right through and then So now it’s fight or flight you say good night in spite of me But now I can see, blood rained on me and chilled me ‘til the end To the bone You close your eyes again, but you’re gone in time for me My nightmare’s on again, and they’ll never let me sleep Her knife’s so cold again, and you know it’s gonna sting It’s almost dawn again, and I know You close your eyes again, but you’re gone in time for me My nightmare’s on again, and they’ll never let me sleep Her knife’s so cold again, and you know it’s gonna sting It’s almost dawn again, and I know
