Last remaining ones on earth Too afraid to love or hurt I hear you hung around your friends Because they get, what you forget High! Flight! Crash! Low! Well, If I hold my tongue again I just might burst, from all four sides So I heard that you too broke too soon Well everybody really does sometimes! High! Flight! Crash! Low! When you need all your funds again Where do you go, who do you tell? All the things you just have to know All the books and facts, you just have to know Rain dance across the lawn Hoping for, a drop or two You're for thirst like no one else No one helps, like good help High! Flight! Crash! Low! If I hold my tongue again I just might burst, from all four sides So I heard that you broke too soon Well everybody really does sometimes! Cold! Heart! Break! Great! When you need all your funds again Where do you go, who do you tell? All the things you just have to know All the books and facts, you have to know

Raptures 03:16
Clinical trials elude me I don't understand what I'm in Too many afflicted abrasions for me I'll try hallucinogens Wasting the days in bliss Exchanging my tokens for love Spending the nights in trips until Indexed emotion erupts You need help for your intense sessions Calling all cars to the lack of questions You can't hold what you can not capture You talk in numbers and speak in raptures Keeping your letters in storage Begging for chlorine in pounds Cleaning the traces of flashbacks Oh you're cleaning unsettling sounds Wiping the makeup away Keep licking the salt till youre thin Hanging yourself with the strings of your shoes This is the way it begins You need help for your intense sessions Calling all cars to the lack of questions You can not hold what you can not capture You talk in numbers and speak in raptures I hurry to the end so you can start over I'm critical now and ever since I'm older You need help for your intense sessions Calling all cars to the lack of questions You can not hold what you can not capture You talk in numbers and speak in raptures You need help for your intense sessions Calling all cars to the lack of questions You can not hold what you can not capture You talk in numbers and speak in raptures

Trickledown 04:44
When I'm the winner I don't want to hear Downers, oh I just want you here You can loosen up and hang out at my place But don't be a dinosaur everyday I really think I could do some good And if I had the funds you know I would And I'm not in it for myself yet Okay, I'll admit it's sometimes yes Well I'd hate to I'd argue or complain But things aren't really going all that great, It's not anything that you have done, It's just me doing something really dumb It's not anything that you have done, It's just me doing something really dumb It's not anything that you have done, It's just me doing something really dumb Sugarcoats aren't around no more In the dust just like before You shouldn't want to come off like that It's difficult when you act like that And if you find me comatose Throw it all out of my windows Let it trickle down like pouring rain Sharing whatever comes my way I was once a mighty beast I could reach all the tops of trees I was once a mighty beast I could reach all the tops of trees Hey would you save me if you knew you could? Oh yeah I would save you, oh you know I would!

Novella 03:53
In the darkest of rooms I still need you It's not the black, just what's in it I can still see a bit of light and it's all I need to tell me that I'm alright, I'm alright I'm not comfortable with what I see I'd rather grab my coat, get up and leave It's not like I pretend to say I did It's not going the way that I predict I'm the holder of cards again, and I hope I can be a pawn for the rest of the game so I, won't be afraid, so I can win this all on my own, win this all on my own I'm not comfortable with what I see I'd rather grab my coat, get up and leave It's not like I pretend to say I did It's not going the way that I predict I'm not comfortable with what I see I'd rather grab my coat, get up and leave It's not like I pretend to say I did It's not going the way that I predict In the darkest of rooms I still need you It's not the black, just what's in it I can still see a bit of light and it's all I need to tell me that I'm alright when I'm In the darkest of rooms I still need you It's not the black, just what's in it

Heart Races 05:12
We hate your decorations to our old home, you deserve whatever you get Feeling like a scientist in a barroom Drinking up, losing yet another...bet again You know you hurt your family You're feeling like a kid, in your room, away from people To escape, onward now to the deep end I might need a map to figure out just where to run now I could win, everything I really wanted Closer now, I really want to feel your heart race For the best, it's probably better if I drop out I heard it takes your talent to go for first place Faster now, patience gets the best of me I want it all now, but only I don't know how I just need some help, from the ones who really love me I might need a map to figure out just where to run now Everyone's a knowledgeable, published author Real and soaked, in the finest ink and perfumes I might need a map to figure out just where to run now I might need a map to figure out just where to run now

Lost my lines for my next big scene I'm the coolest guy you've ever seen I'm a pro, the best thats in my trade I have faith issues that cannot wait Let's go date, I'm told that I'm a catch How'd you ever become so attached? Love to hear from you, but I'm too deaf Lazy learner loving you to death I'm feeling fervor So alive, into you, yeah yeah So alive, into you, yeah yeah But are you worth hangin' around, round, round, round, round hangin' around, round, round, round, round I'm feeling fevor So alive, into you, yeah yeah So alive, into you, yeah yeah But are you worth hangin' around, round, round, round, round hangin' around, round, round, round, round with! Why do you look in-between your toes? When are you just going to grow? Where'd you learn to replicate my twitch? Where'd you learn to always scratch my itch? I don't mean to be so intrusive You looked like you'd need a place to live There's no home here for you, go When are you just going to grow? I'm feeling fervor So alive, into you, yeah yeah So alive, into you, yeah yeah But are you worth hangin' around, round, round, round, round hangin' around, round, round, round, round
