For Jack 03:46
I'm bad at shaking hands and trying to stand when suit-clad When I met your mom and I met your dad at your funeral Believe me when I say it was more than difficult To look them in the eye when I can't look away I can't feel you Please don't leave me here to fend for myself, on my own I can't hear you Here beside me as I lay by myself, all alone I'm choking on my own breath The well in my stomach is boiling over Our coins never hit the bottom, our dreams never came true Don't think less of me if you see me collapse 'Because this is just a chapter and I haven't read much yet I can't feel you Please don't leave me here to fend for myself, on my own I can't hear you Here beside me as I lay by myself, all alone I've never felt so low before I've never felt so low I tear apart my room and my head again Because I've never felt so low before I toss and turn all night in my bed again Because I've never felt so low I can't feel you Please don't leave me here to fend for myself, on my own I can't hear you Here beside me as I lay by myself, all alone

Death Kills 04:14
My head hangs heavy My eyes low I fell asleep on the drive home You broke my levee I see through you We drink so we don't feel alone All my friends are calling me out I sink in the sea, I'm in way too deep now I'm sick and I'm tired I'm sick and I'm tired Was it love that you've lent me? Was it enough that you loved me? Was it just life that you left me? All my friends are calling me out I sink in the sea because I can't reach out I'm sick and I'm tired I'm sick and I'm tired In the right place at the wrong time In the middle of the ocean, I find the rhyme In the right place at the wrong time My head hangs heavy My eyes low I fell asleep on the drive home All my friends are calling me out I sink in the sea because I can't reach out I'm sick and I'm tired I'm sick and I'm tired I over-think I over-drink I'm wasting time I haven't got

I didn't call you that day And that's what kept you away Now I'm blinded by the light I'm staring into And I never, never, never, never said All of the things I wish that I did When they scream your name you scan the crowd For anyone but me Because everybody's singing now, Everyone but me And I do recall we had it all, but that's just history When we throw our backs against the wall, I'll drag you to hell with me I heard your song yesterday And that's what keeps me awake I'm feet first until the ground stops falling But it never, never, never, never will And I'll never ever get my fill When they scream your name you scan the crowd For anyone but me Because everybody's singing now, Everyone but me And I do recall we had it all, but that's just history When we throw our backs against the wall, I'll drag you to hell with me You held me close, you loved me well In these parked car conversations we tell all there is to tell You say my name, I say yours too With these chords and words and melodies I fill my head with you When they scream your name you scan the crowd For anyone but me Because everybody's singing now Everyone but me And I do recall we had it all, but that's just history When we throw our backs against the wall I'll drag you to hell with me

I close my eyes on the highway to see how far I can drive Without opening them because I'm scared for my life How far can I go before I go into the unknown? I spend my nights barely sleeping Because dark thoughts are creeping Wake up in the morning, My ears are still ringing Is it nicotine? Is it caffeine? What sort of headache is this? I guess I should feel lucky Because my loved ones love me But I'm missing somebody Because I don't love me I guess I should feel lucky Because my loved ones love me But I'm missing somebody Because I won't—

Picture my death in the hospital Counting all the tiles in the ceiling Heaven came and went, but I feel so good Salvation ain't guaranteed, but I feel so good I pissed time away, but I found God In the form of who we all want to be Thank God for making God to make Man Thank Man for making God to shake hands For what it's worth So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair Maybe these things will get better one day Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray Call out my name as an alibi And as Michigan grows colder May death immortalize me in your eyes Sing me a eulogy while the punks get high For what it’s worth So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair Maybe these things will get better one day Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray Wipe the tears from your eyes and try to stand tall When you're not really sure how you got here at all To scream out your name at the top of my lungs Shaking bonds of our worth that are coming undone This is my apology for everything and everything we came to be Pardon my neurologies The endless fights and sleepless nights The blame's on me So don't chew off your nails or pull out your hair You're grown enough now to know this life isn't fair Maybe these things will get better one day Without darkness or sadness to lead you astray Wipe the tears from your eyes and try to stand tall When you're not really sure how you got here at all To scream out your name at the top of my lungs Slipping bonds of our worth that are coming undone

Operator 03:34
Smoking outside and I'm running my mouth Talking shit on bands I know nothing about Because I know you like them and I know you can hear me You stand right beside them but you won't stand right near me Hell froze over when I tried to break the ice A cold shoulder won't tear me from those eyes Broke my glasses but at least I could see through you Choking on smoke and coughing up lungs and better halves If I could speak with the voice of a scholar If I could sing with the tongue of an angel Then we could get down to brass tacks and squalor Took your touch for granted, but it's getting me right I’m a fool for you, but don’t move too fast Because love is a language I haven’t learned yet Yours is a face that I can’t forget I can’t stand the truth or my selfish ways I’m nothing more than an empty bottle You can use to ash your cigarette All I’ve ever known is how to be alone Took a deep breath and I'm standing in line Hoping for a moment that you'll give me your time But I'm running out of things I wish I could say to you In spite of bitter things I still run away to you I'm six feet under and there's flowers growing over my head I never asked to be a cameraman The winds of winter whisper telling me I'm better of dead I never thought I'd need a helping hand I’m a fool for you, but don’t move too fast Because love is a language I haven’t learned yet Yours is a face that I can’t forget I can’t stand the truth or my selfish ways I’m nothing more than an empty bottle You can use to ash your cigarette All I’ve ever known is how to be alone

Yours Truly 05:29
I drove 200 miles to escape the thought of you Ignorance is bliss when you don't know how it feels Like throwing stones at photographs of the memories we wish we could forget Or if you're staring at the ocean wondering when you'll be home It's really hard to speak when you ain't got the words to say It fucks everything up and you know it's not okay This is more than sincerity It's kind of hard to stand when you've got no floor to stand on I'm not silver-tongued enough to explain the thought of you Was it something that I said? Or was it just the way I said it? If I speak soft in a quiet room would you still hear me? The wind just takes the words out of my mouth It's really hard to speak when you ain't got the words to say It fucks everything up and you know it's not okay This is more than sincerity It's kind of hard to stand when you've got no floor to stand on It's hard to understand when you haven't been there before I won't hold you responsible when you don't talk the same I won't hold you responsible when you don't smile the same I won't hold you responsible when you don't act the same way that you used to I won't hold you responsible (All my friends are calling me out All my friends are calling me) Can I find my ignorance? Because I found out what it's like Today will be fine tomorrow Like taking your pictures off the walls Or if you're staring at the ocean and you realize you're the one drowning
