Lost Rivers 03:47
It's your life, you roll the dice It's your life, you roll the dice It's your life, you roll the dice It's your life, you roll the dice I may have gone overboard Trying to drag on the night I should have listened Yeah, you were right I didn't want to leave you alone But for what it's worth I was just looking for Another way to get stoned It's your life, you roll the dice It's your life, you roll the dice On my way down to the river I had a passing thought: What if I never made it across And all the beauty that awaited me was lost? (Go) It's your life, you roll the dice It's your life, you roll the dice

Static 04:39
Drunk in your boredom Feel anything but this Static Stationary C-5 Galaxy An immovable weight That is grounded from flight You don't need anything from me You don't need anything from me Drunk in your boredom Feel anything but this Static Stationary C-5 Galaxy An immovable weight That is grounded from flight You don't need anything from me You don't need anything from me I try To break it up into pieces So it's easy I'm misunderstood When my My good intentions Get lost in the breeze Then you leave me Woke up And my mindset was broken From the deed As I recall what I tried to mean You talk As if we both fell in love But that's crazy The motivation's too hard to reach Stoned in your boredom Feel anything but this Static Stuck in your home New-age policy A contagious state of Back and forth faith Lest you take everything from me You won't take anymore from me I try To make the most of The given state of things But I have fallen to my knees We all Are on the cusp of Some great big memory But the motivation has been released You won't take anymore from me

You gave me the time So I might as well Slip back into the place Where I was before I do realize The danger's forthcoming But I just want to lie here For a while Even though you've tried You're no longer satisfied There's a reason you were working On a new form of you You know that it's a lie And you've heard the truth But it's only whispers now So you're keeping it loose Don't tie it down You gave me the time So I might as well Slip back into the place Where I was before I do realize The danger's forthcoming But I just want to lie here For a while (La la la sinking deeper) I knew from the start Fragile as you are You wouldn't get this far I had a vision but Overthought it and Woke up empty handed But your eyes Wide open shine through All the chaos in you You always hear the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You're always saying the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You always hear the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You're always saying the same thing (So write it down) Oh my love Come and read this Did I set me up To drown in my own blood? You always hear the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You're always saying the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You always hear the same thing (Fight through the doubt) You're always saying the same thing (So write it down) Oh my love Take me up in your arms I'm sorry to Dirty you with my blood I never intended this But here we are Full of righteousness Never getting very far Would you come out of the woods? It's getting pretty dark Run away from all the fools but Fools we are oh my what fools we are You can never run You can never run

I've got the gun It's pointed where I want it And you're in the way I'm just being honest I shot the gun Now you're on the ground And I'm above But I killed the dove My own my bug My home my rug My hug and my love My own dead dove My own my bug My home my rug My hug and my love My own dead dove I've got the gun It's pointed where I want it And you're in the way I'm just being honest I shot the gun Now you're on the ground And I'm above I killed the dove My own my bug My home my rug My hug and my love My own dead dove My own my bug My home my rug My hug and my love My own dead dove My own my bug My home my rug My hug and my love My own dead dove

STAY. 04:27
Time to decide What we're doing here Leave you behind Or maybe I need you to STAY Stay with me Build towards A day when we're free We tread, over and over The same ground Reeling us under But if I stay Bring the glass of water To wash me away As cool as November I'll feel myself become numb If you STAY Stay with me Build towards A day when we're free We lay bathing in sunlight As the world Rippled and shuddered I could stay Wrap my arms around her And live in a day As warm as September

I came to watch you glow on I came to hear you speak I came dressed in all my clothes Ready to let you feed me Na na na na Na na na na Ready to feel this feeling Ready to come explore I know your stomach is pleading And I'm ready to let you eat me Yeah Na na na na Na na na na There's No Cause For this (this in my life) I'm Head Strong For bliss (bliss will be mine) Dive into your mist If you say the right words I'll crawl and kiss your feet Even though I know what the people will say I know It's better to ignore the pain All the lies and deceit Mean nothing to me I'll still pray to your name Even when it kills me There's No Cause For this (this in my life) I'm Head Strong For bliss (bliss will be mine)

Haven't I told you this before? You're pushing close to an overload I must admit I'm a little impressed I didn't think you could take the stress I would have left, myself Haven't I told you this before? You're about to short from the overload You say you live with no regrets Well, sure When you don't try your best You're scared to the bone A break in conversation leaves you alone I don't condone How you fold to the phone Cause when I'm alone I find time to learn myself I can be myself When quiet is too much You go and fall into the rough You're bored, so what? I can see you're giving up What did I say? You pushed too much And now you're in an overload And all your friends stay far away They can see the sparks for miles If I could I'd take you out for a while If I could I'd wipe away the pain Oh love When quiet is too much You go and fall into the rough You're bored, so what? I can see you're giving up Swallowed by the darkness When we fall asleep But it's bigger than you or me Take a step back and let's just breathe Cause it's bigger than you or me I see More clearly Everyday When I wake

Fatal 05:37
Forgotten moment Comes in waves again Bits and pieces come to fit And I can recollect How you looked when you said it and How I gave in to the pressure Ooh were I not powerless to save my grace Would I have turned out this way Ooh I had thought that I had been erased You made my color faint Oh love Take my hand And touch me Change me Where are you now? It's been so long I am one to recognize that All of these vices point to you Ooh were I not powerless to save my grace Would I have turned out this way Ooh I had thought that I had been erased You made my color faint Oh love Take my hand And touch me Change me You couldn't leave it alone You kept coming back for more I'll rip out your heart I'll burry you in the dirt As cold as it sounds You buried me first

Well what am I to do When I've spent it all on you? And it's not up to me To walk you down with ease Either way you choose I will be stepping out Cause what am I to do When there's only space for you? Oh Woke up in a cold sweat Couldn't feel my hands Everyone is faceless Even my friends And I couldn't get away Held in place I evade When vanity is my friend I am leaving here My friend Look at this mess I try my best to play it safe And then I'm betrayed And I won't believe your ignorance Well what am I to do When I've spent it all on you? And it's not up to me To walk you down with ease Either way you choose I will be stepping out Cause what am I to do When there's only space for you? Oh Goodbye My friends I am leaving you Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
