1. FADE

We probably shouldn't talk
Cause talking leads to thinking
And eyes wide open blank in the dark
We probably shouldn't think
Cause thinking leads to questioning
It circles you right back to the start

Everything used to make sense
We're testing it and our own strength
Oh, no

If we don't leave now
We will break
We will falter, we will fade
If we don't leave now
We will harm
We'll regret what we've
Done to ourselves

I probably shouldn't wish
For your breath on my skin
Instead the cold air's traveling down
From the vents above our heads
And drinking is no excuse
Though it's an easy one to use when
Lack of self control has left you making
Poor decisions for yourself

Everything used to make sense
We're testing it and our own strength
Oh, no

If we don't leave now
We will break
We will falter, we will fade
If we don't leave now
We will harm
We'll regret what we've done

Ah, what have I done
What have I done
Ah, i've gone and hurt
The one I love

If we don't leave now
We will break
We will falter, we will fade
If we don't leave now
We will harm
We'll regret what we've done

If we don't leave now
We will break
We will falter, we will fade
If we don't leave now
We will harm
We'll regret what we've done to ourselves


2. CHERRY RED

You look so dumb
With your cherry red lipstick on
And i can feel you push
But are you sure that this is what you want

And is that your
Can't-you-see-i'm-over-you smile
Well baby, i will bury you
If this is gonna be a while

And all year long
I'm waiting for you to move on
You drove my patience through the floor
With your so dramatic selfish tactics
But you're right here knocking down my door
With your pretty fingers digging deeper still

You're too obsessed
With everything i do
And i've been losing sleep
But i can guarantee it's not over you

And it feels so good
To finally be alone
Yeah i was really tired
Of you torturing my telephone

And all year long
I'm waiting for you to move on

You drove my patience through the floor
With your so dramatic selfish tactics
But you're right here knocking down my door
With your pretty fingers digging deeper still

You drove my patience through the floor
And you keep me coming back for more
With your so dramatic selfish tactics

But you're right here knocking down my door
With your pretty fingers digging deeper still


3. SILESCE AND SIRENS

The silence and the sirens
They're altogether frightening
The sounds of someone dying
And i am only missing you again

So here's a cheers to treason
And giving me a reason
For drinking well this season
When you will learn to leave this lonely bed
For every word he said

And will you still come around
To keep me on the ground

We might be better off then
With every inch of distance
So you don't have to cope with
The pulsing sound that caught you from the start
And caught me off guard

And will you still come around
To keep me on the ground
And will you still come around
'Cause i've been breaking down

She said "please don't do this
Yeah you know we're still the best of friends"
(Every choice you make)
"And you know it's not like that it's just been way too hard"
(Pushes me away)

She said "please don't do this
Yeah you know we're still the best of friends"
(I'm better now)
"And you know it's not like that it's just been way too hard"
(But you're not here to find it out)

And will you still come around
To keep me on the ground
And will you still come around
Round, round, round, round
Cause i've been breaking down, ah


4. EMPTY SPACE

So tell me
If you're ready
Then why are your palms sweaty
Grab tight
Your knuckles white
Wind up and swing with all your
Nights illuminated by days
Spent in the dark
Have you had enough?
Have you had enough?
You built yourself a house
A house is not a home
If every shadow is your own

Time stands still, your movement frozen
Staring down at what you've broken and
Walk on, the dust will lift from the ground
And settle into new found comfort in your
Empty space

Eyes drowning
Surrounding
Colors bleed onto the air
And the life
You stood by
Dissolves in arbitrary lines
You drew just to have
Something to cross
Have you had enough?
Have you had enough?
So dirty up your hands
The hands that used to hold
This whole foundation
Let go

Time stands still, your movement frozen
Staring down at what you've broken and
Walk on, the dust will lift from the ground
And settle into new found comfort in your
Empty space

So tear it brick by beam by pain by memory
Stare at all the nothing you've created

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Time stands still, your movement frozen
Staring down at what you've broken and
Walk on, the dust will lift from the ground
And settle into new found comfort in your
Empty space


5. WINTER'S COMING

Are you in danger?
You swore by a shipwreck
And now you are stranded
Sinking like a ghost

So sit by door
And wait for me to storm in
But i swear, i swear
I'm never coming home

And the winter's coming close
And my body's growing cold
And i'm trembling in fright, oh my
Cause i am a sinner with a crooked smile
And you took to the rhythm of a no good liar

I drown in the mirror
You know this thing is a damn disease
And i never surface who i want to be
I'm shaking with bruises
I can barely stand my shape
Not when every inch, it hesitates
And it breaks and it breaks
And it breaks and it breaks

And the winter's coming close
And my body's growing cold
And i'm trembling in fright, oh my
Cause i am a sinner with a crooked smile
And you took to the rhythm of a no good liar

Cause i am a sinner with a crooked smile
And you took to the rhythm of a no good liar

I am a sinner with a crooked smile
And you took to the rhythm of a no good liar


6. YOU WILL BE MINE

Green eyes steady
As the room spins, baby
From behind your desk

And do you know you look so good
With your pale skin
Picketing your bright blue dress

But i talked and i learned
That my tongue couldn't turn
It's tricks on you

So i tripped and perspired
And fled from your island
To plan my next move

And all this time i'm waiting for
A taste of what you hide

But i'll know better when i'm
In too deep, you will be mine

You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine

Sit tight, baby
We'll be just fine
Slurring over drinks for two

But it's only a chase if
You've been holding out still
Even though the wine is tempting you

And you talked and you learned
That my heart wouldn't turn
But it's too late now to lose

It's the catch in your speech
It's your clothes at your feet
And the way you dance to how i groove

Sorry honey, i'll be late tonight
Don't wait up for me this time

And don't ask what this ring is for
I've yet to realize
But i'll know better when i'm
In too deep, you will be mine


7. DON'T WANT TO FALL

This is a decision that i know full well i made
I remind myself as i'm walking up to your gate
Through the wire diamonds i can see your shape
You're fumbling around with your keys

You say we can sit and stay but
I'm having trouble keeping up with your pleasantries
Don't you find them unsettling?
Can we go walking?

That's probably a good idea
Yeah, it's probably a good idea

Cause i don't want to fall
In love with you again
I'm so afraid
I'm capable of it
And after time i can accept
You're still the song on my breath
You're not easy to forget

Moving in rhythm, footsteps aligned
I'm doing okay 'til your arm brushes mine
And then i panic
I thought i figured it out but i'm taken aback as we
Pass the closing stores and lit up cafes
There are so many of them these days
So many strangers
They're walking around in our place, in our place

And suddenly it's all unclear
Yeah, suddenly it's all unclear
Yeah this probably was a bad idea
Yeah this probably was a bad idea

Cause i don't want to fall
In love with you again
I'm so afraid
I'm capable of it
> And after time i can accept
You're still the song on my breath
You're not easy to forget

We used to own these streets
Head to head, you spinning me
And now we say that we were young
And what we had has come and gone

We used to own these streets
Head to head, you spinning me
Your back’s against a concrete wall
Your body buzzing on the intercom,
The intercom, the intercom, the intercom

We woke the neighbors,
It's no wonder they hate us
On every single floor


8. TRAINS

Trains on train tracks
Are made to come back
From every place that
They've ever been

A 7:30
A sunday off peak
I knew she'd leave me
But not like this

You know
You're the reason
That i felt alive out here
For so long
I've been waiting
For my chance to disappear

The wooden sleepers
The girders lying still
Are cold reminders
Of what you had to do

We're not like train tracks
Sometimes we have to move
And never come back
Despite the things we lose

You know
You're the reason
That i felt alive out here
For so long
I've been waiting
For my chance to disappear

This town
Is just a strip of bars
And streets with common names
It's strange
To know you'll watch me
As i slowly pull away


9. STARVING FOR ATTENTION

These girls are cut out from magazines
Wearing pride on fashionable sleeves
Corner boys with swerving glances
Settle into leg-locked trances
Those poor bastards never stand a chance

And i know you would like to leave me shaking
From all the things that you're insinuating
Don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'Cause i don't give a damn about you now

You once said that beauty lies in truth
Mother’s curves and ignorance of youth
Lonely now with this disease your
Desperation aims to please while
Starving for attention on your knees

And i know you would like to leave me shaking
From all the things that you're insinuating
Don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'Cause i don't give a damn about you now

Wait,
I think you're better off just gettin'
Just gettin' some sleep
'Cause you've been drinkin' like you need it again

And, hey,
You know you were beautiful when you were
When you were like me
Yeah, but how you're slipping at the start of the end

And i know you would like to leave me shaking
From all the things that you're insinuating
And don't you say "now look at what you've made me"
'Cause i don't give a damn about you
I don't give a damn about you now


10. I'VE BEEN THINKING

Don't be alarmed at the things that i've said
They're only the truth, love
I know that you're anxious to lay this to bed
You're always the scared one

The air has been rushing hard up against
The walls and the windows
I'll welcome the cool breeze to let itself in
And con you to keep close

It's not the same when your eyes are sinking
Don't be afraid of what i've been thinking
I know it seems that we're moving too fast
But don't be afraid of what i've been thinking

There's so many people here in between
They're constantly moving
And sneaking around them tears at the seams
Of what we've been doing

There's too many questions, try to let go
There's no harm in hurting
The crowd that surrounds you, and darling i know
It's what they're deserving

It's not the same when your eyes are sinking
Don't be afraid of what i've been thinking
I know it seems that we're moving too fast
But don't be afraid of what i've been thinking

Baby, you've got faith in a smile
I think others would kill for


11. END ALL

Say when and i'll come
Hang my coat at your door
You can touch me all you want
With one eye on the cloc

I hold you here in my mind
Where i am coming undone
With fleeting emotions, a landslide is born
And the pieces will tumble through cracks in your floor

Silence is stating intentions
Louder than anything we've ever mentioned
All that was promised has already fled
Just hold me 'til it ends

Echo, your voice seems to haunt me
"Oh you should go" yeah, i'm already leaving
(It'd be best if you leave me)
All of your life on a doorstep
Do you turn
Do you turn
Do you turn your head?

Silence is stating intentions
Louder than anything we've ever mentioned
All that was promised has already fled
Just hold me 'til it ends

Who could know
What time would show
Who could know


12. HARD TO KEEP YOUR COOL

Just wait your turn, we all wait in line
And i pray that this will improve with time
Now i'm begging please pick up the phone
It's hard to keep your cool when you're alone

These rotten years are sinking in
My weathered bones and aging skin
Each love i had seems worthy now
It's hard to be the last to find it out


13. TURNCOAT

Turncoat parents and the children that never arrived
Pawn shop rings and a road swallowed up by the sky
And though the static on the radio was signaling that this was the end
They still sang on just like lovers 'til the day that they decided to be just friends
And never speak again
To keep from caving in

So baby, this is freedom and you finally are out on your own
And you left in such a hurry but you'll never get away from this home
Cause the kids, they aren't happy and i don't know how you thought they could be
What, with all those misconceptions it's a miracle that they were ever conceived
And they don't look a damn like me
But i'll still feign belief

So baby, this is freedom
