After We End

Come on, baby, know that you're teasing
Don't tell me you don't want to see me
I say everything that you're thinking
I say anything that you're needing
I know
I'll show
you what comes
after we end
I lose, you lose
but you're still winning
but tonight I'll be the one grinning
even with the blood clearly thinning
This is just the beginning

Best Intentions
02:55
|
|||
|
I tried to pave this road with best intentions
but when you try this hard
Well, nobody wins
We ditched the kids in the dark, where the trail ends
and got a taste of what we'd both been missing
If we had been better maybe we would have stayed
I couldn't do it
Oh, it's so funny, wait
I'm really sorry, oh no, please believe me
The best intentions, no, they don't mean a thing
The road to hell is paved with all this liquor
She was too drunk to drive, I had to kiss her
It did the trick she had to sit and figure out
If me or BF tasted better on her mouth
If I had been better maybe she would have stayed
I had to hesitate
It's so funny, wait
Can't figure out just why she won't talk to me
The best intentions, no, they don't mean a thing
If we had been better maybe we would have stayed
How could I do this?
Oh, it's so funny, wait
I'm trying honesty, it's time to come clean
The best intentions, no, they don't mean a thing
If we had been better maybe we would have stayed together

Carnival Rides
04:12

So we laced our hands together
and that alone just made my day
and she wants to ride The Zipper
So we step into the cage
and I can feel us getting higher
and you can see that it's not safe
but before they go and drop us
She calmly turns to kiss my face
I can't tell if the girl or the carnival rides
got me shaking inside
"Just play it cool"
I feel my heart coming upchuck
Is it good, is it bad luck
if I die in here with you?
Tell me what's a boy to do?
So we stumble through the exit
I hear that Brandon almost died
So we climb inside the ferris wheel
to cure my fear of frightening heights
And I can see us getting higher
and you can see your house from here
and a million times, your lips touched mine
and that alone just made my year
(Chorus)
I'd like to say "I love you"
but I don't want to pay
all these fees and these fines
that my heart has designed
Just to keep me away
From hurting you
I can see that you're scared of
me more than the air that
we suddenly seem to fall right through
(Chorus)
Oh, you see, well she cries when I touch her
but, oh god, I love her
So what else can I do?
I could stay at arm's length like I'm clever
but, oh no, I'd never
I know she loves me too
So tell me what's a boy to do?

Captain Nemo

(You can't find me)
I'm still trying
(You're just not trying)
I keep finding
(You can't hear me)
All these reasons
(You're just not listening)
What's left for me?
Sometimes…
I'll hide
Away… away…
Dining in an atmosphere
of stale and familiar fear
And all that I have left to say
Is how it's worse than yesterday
Sometimes…
I'll hide
Away… away…

Queso
03:48
|

|
What if we played this out?
Played every broken sound
that stumbled from your mouth
before it hit the ground
Can you contain it? (No!)
Can you restrain it? (No!)
How could you ever hope to hold it in
when I can read it on your lips?
Girl if you want to
You know we can get down
Girl if you want to
You know we can get around
Don't act like I don't know you
And I've been fumbling with my hands and fingers
Making crude hand signs that only I could figure
I should say it (Yeah)
But I'm afraid
Code Ivy Red: I've read your inward legs all wrong
(Chorus)
Are we not brave? Are we not charming?
Am I not brave? Am I not charming?

Done and Crossed
04:13
|

I will drive
as far as I have to
and I will thrive
even burning beneath you
Because the sunlight's done and crossed the city lines
and I've been living every day like it’s the night
And I will love
as much as I have to
And I will burn no longer from you
And you could run your pretty fingers down my spine
and you might read me like I let you all those times
But if you thought you knew me
Well, you're in for a surprise
I'm warming up to sunlight
No longer to your fire
Because the sunlight's done and crossed the city lines
and I've been living every day like it's the night
and I don't have to hate myself
I don't need your help anymore
I've got the sunlight to remind me
That it's so funny…
That it's so funny…
That it's so funny, wait
But wait
before you go…
There's a few more things that you don't really need to know
But ever since your eyes have turned away from me
I feel relieved that I can finally get to sleep
and if I see you there, well, that's enough for me
I've got it good
I've got the sunlight to remind me
That it's so funny…
And it's so funny…
And it's so funny, wait
And it's so funny, I'll be laughing all the while
But to the untrained ear it may come off as crying

The Last Muse
04:43
|
|||
|
Had a funny feeling you were over my shoulder
I guess that's the frostbite kicking in
Guess there goes all hope I had of winning you over
But that's not why I started this
and I'm not about to stop
You were the last muse
At least until the next one…
When one door closes
another wound opens
Cut myself on these roses
Sneaking peeks through your window
This funny feeling, falling over and over
Like I've never been on the ice, my friends
Too busy wishing that I had your voice recorded
Distracted, I roll my ankle again
(Chorus)
Been dehumanizing so many boys that I envy
They're all selfish pricks
At least if you ask me
But I've dehumanized myself in my bitter frenzy
Because I believe those boys are better than I'll ever be
(Chorus)
As I drift like a glacier in foreign water
my last thoughts, in no particular order
I can't swim, I'm sorry, you're scalding hot
I am an ice cube, you didn't mean to step on
I'm never going to see you again, am I?
Glub glub…
Glub glub…

Grave Digger
02:05

Dig deep
Dig faster
until you hit the rock
What do you have to lose?
Six feet
Six more
Double down
Why not?
What do you have to lose?
And isn't it fitting?
Digging my own grave
Just to prove I can
What for?
Why not?
Seemed like a good idea
until they let me loose
Digging for my sick pleasure
Proving to me I'm capable
And isn't it fitting?
Digging my own grave
Just to prove I can

Dead Lovers
03:23

"I saw she saw you"
Was the note you left for me
I couldn't let this go
even outside of a dream
The sun is shining again
and I'm more than slightly obsessed
with the ghost of the girl in my car
who would hold me to her breast
And I see dead lovers
getting frisky in the sheets
and I see dead lovers
getting frisky in my backseat
and I see dead lovers
limping up and down the street
and I see a dead lover
in the mirror, every morning
"This warnings for you
there's someone underneath your bed"
And somehow even without one
I am still the one to lose his head
to a killer I have never seen
and thank god we've never met
Just a heads up if you're reading this
I'll be the one that she soon forgets (if she hasn't already)
(Chorus)
I could claw my way out if I really wanted to
But laying in the dark is much more comfortable
I don't have to try, no, I don't have to think
and look I've lost a lot of weight so who needs a shrink?
And if you can't take your eyes right off of me
then I can pretend that I'm still winning
until we meet again and you send my head spinning
"You'll always be my first"
then why am I always the last
to crawl my way out of the dirt
the blood has dried, simply of lack
of time to find a better word
than I am just a dead lover
So go ahead and do your worst
I am just a dead lover…

Last Laugh
03:26
|
|||
|
I lied when I said you were not the reason
You were the only one
Songs in morse code, I'd hoped you'd decode
That's all it ever was
Does my hurt undo yours, my penance your scars?
It does not
SOS, Goodnight
Does my hurt undo yours, my penance your scars?
It does not
SOL, Goodbye…
Death by car…
Death by trigger…
Death by paid killer, I just could not decide
Sophie, it's time
I'm too drunk to drive
Guess I'll just die if I
can't catch a ride
They keep the door cracked
So they can keep track
Who gets the last laugh?
Who gets the last laugh?
