I follow the pattern
I keep track of what is what
If I lose a battle
There's no one saving me a spot
I bend over backwards
To try and my wrap head around
What's simply straightforward
To what often feels like everyone
And baby I'm sorry I let you down
I pushed too hard and it feels like
The flight to my brain got delayed
And when it landed it was too late
Above all other things that I hate
It's throwing the hook and taking the bait
You've taken some weird turns
Sometimes I follow you around
When there's a lesson to learn
Sometimes you're nowhere to be found
And you should be sorry you let me down
You pull away and you feel like
The flight to your brain got delayed
And when it landed it was too late
Above all other things you will hate
It's throwing the hook and taking the bait
In every dream
I'm always
Missing my ride
Forever behind
It's not you
Who'll pull me through
It's not me
Who'll keep you here

Sad Party
02:44

When you hear about it
You hope that what they say is true
There's a time and place that's right
And any night could be the night
Hesitation out the way
And all it leaves in its wake
Is a big desire to get invited
Get it started
It's a wasted summer
And a sober new year's eve
It's a lonely birthday
And the act that never lives up to all of its hype
Forever building up
But I know it will be
A sad party
Sad party
Sad party
All along everyone knows it will be
Sipping on your first one
You're not sure if this is fun
By your second you're in pain
And the next chance you get
Do it all again
It's a wasted summer
And a sober new year's eve
It's a lonely birthday
And the act that never lives up to all of its hype
Forever building up
But I know it will be
A sad party
Sad party
Sad party
All along everyone knows it will be
Just try and tell me i'm wrong
Just try and tell me i'm wrong
Tell me i'm wrong
Tell me i'm wrong

The Slides

The city opens her eyes
And she can't remember last night
She shrugs her shoulders
And doesn't care if she's done wrong or right
I squint and try to remember
Where I am and what for
The sun burns all my ideas
Melt into nothing at all
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud
I don't need to hate it
The city hates itself
The city hates itself
She won't go for the nice guy
Stop trying to make her laugh
She's staying out of the light
And none of us is changing her heart
Walking like they were born upright
Walking like they never crawled
There are always fools who'll buy in
But it's not our bullshit to call
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud
I don't need to hate it
The city hates itself
The city hates itself
She won't go for the nice guy
Stop trying to make her laugh
She's staying out of the light
And none of us is changing her heart
None of us is getting her right
If you leave her alone for a second she's gone
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud

Squeeze

Late in the night
Turns to early in the morning
You're on my mind
Writing you into my story
Quietly I've
Fallen for sleepwalking deeply
Now may I have
Your permission to speak freely
Cause in your hug was an extra squeeze
I know that you don't mean to tease
But you're killing me lately
You know i'll never get angry
The things I've done just to see ya
You have no idea
Vaguely imply
Or should I just put it blankly
Poke me and i'll
Crack and spill all of my candy
Cause in your hug was an extra squeeze
I know that you don't mean to tease
But you're killing me lately
You know i'll never get angry
The things I've done just to see ya
You have no idea
You got me scheming and planning
But don't you think I'm complaining
I wouldn't dream for a second
Of overstaying my welcome
One two
I'm not sure I want to
talk and then think
Three four
Things were better before

Fifty

Doesn't like the woods
Only likes the beach
Has never been taught
Has plenty to teach
Model aeroplanes
Signed off with a kiss
When nothing takes off
Take comfort in this
We've only got fifty years to go or so
Just a couple of aeons more before
We don't have to smile through the pain
And get to never start over again
We've only got fifty years to go
Focus and derail
Cautionary tale
Who's really your friend
Who's making you bend
Bending to their will
Straining ever still
I have nothing to do
I'm bending here too
We've only got fifty years to go or so
Just a couple of aeons more before
We don't have to smile through the pain
And get to never start over again
Just get through fifty more
We've only got fifty years to go
White light
Coming through
It's just
Time to wake

Day One

Baby what did they do to you
Wouldn't wanna know but I already do
Grew up on different sides of the same hill
Sometimes want to die sometimes to kill
Now they've come and pulled you back in
I'm around like I've always been
You can tell me all your secrets and I'll walk you home
When you've put the past behind you but it's back for more
Couldn't help it
We were doomed from day one
But we're still walking around
You don't need enough to survive
Can't be bothered with staying alive
Start the fire and we'll burn these doubts
I need to catch my tail could you help me out
Sister when you go back outside
Whatever you're looking to find
If it's any good send it back my way
I'll keep it for you till we meet someday
Couldn't help it
We were doomed from day one
But we're still walking around
Our rocky start is in all we do
Can pretend it ain't but you it's true
We could not help it
We were
doomed from day one
But we're still walking around

Heartworms

I have no plans past summer
I don't care for one way or the other
And I would not be botherd
Except now I get lonely without her
Yeah she sticks around
Doesn't put me down
Makes me miss my ride
And there's no turning around
If I let your heartworms get under my skin
They're going to dig all the way in
If I put my head on your shoulder I might
Sleep like a baby and never wake up
Rolling trains don't stop
I'm too scared to hop
Just as scared to stay
Wait too long
Gonna pay
If I let your heartworms get under my skin
They're going to dig all the way in
If I put my head on your shoulder I might
Sleep like a baby and never wake up
If I let your heartworms get under my skin
They're going to dig all the way in
If I put my head on your shoulder I might
Sleep like a baby and never wake up

The Invisible Girl
03:31

Blink for a second and two years go by
Stop to decide if it's worth a cry
Always dreamed of disappearing
Closest thing was leaving
None can compare to that which never was
Keeping it close to make sure it dies
And it does and you're alone
And it feels a little bit like home
But if you wanna be the invisible girl
How come you're always wearing that bell
Around your neck
Around your neck
Around your neck
Sail till the lighthouse is out of sight
But keep an admirer at your side
Got enough of those to spare
You may never fully understand
Why they're there
But if you wanna be the invisible girl
How come you're always wearing that bell
Around your neck
Around your neck
Around your neck
And your hands are in chains
Why is that
And I can hear it ringing across an ocean apart
Long as you're ringing gonna get it right
Get it right
Get it right
Get it right

The Stuff
02:35

Come inside where we can play
You and I that sounds ok
And when I step in my feet get swallowed in mist
Sit on the sofa it sinks like a coffin
Who killed the lights now tell me what did I miss
This isn't bed I'm not turning and tossing
The stuff of my nightmares
In the eyes of my lover
What parasite inside her
Could make her
Turn so dark
Only thing you wanna do
Run and scream
So then I'm running but I keep stepping in place
Every direction I turn I am facing
The stuff of my nightmares
In the eyes of my lover
What parasite inside her
Could make her
Turn so dark

Bad Voice
02:38

When I miss a turn in my hometown
One I should've gotten down by now
When I smile and nod
I could be wrong
I'm just going along
When it's early night I'm heading back
With my life unchanged
no heart attack
When I hear a sound but I can't see
Anyone next to me
You're the bad voice
Inside my head
You light a fire
And you make my bed in it
You're the bad voice
Compiling stacks
Of honest lies inspired by the facts
You're the bad voice
When there's no one that has done more harm
And no one got this much of my time
Everybody has their enemies
I got mine close to me
You're the bad voice
Inside my head
You light a fire
And you make my bed in it
You're the bad voice
Compiling stacks
Of honest lies inspired by the facts
You're the bad voice
You're the bad voice
You're the bad voice
