I Want Doubts
03:52

It’s right behind you
In the air right above us
A cheaper version of yourself
Telling everyone your secrets
Into the ground
Into sand
Into dust
Loving lust
We’ve done this again
Believed everything he said
I want doubts (x4)
I must look so naïve
I’ve never learned a single thing
I walked right into traffic
Ask me where the line ends
I don’t need your help
I’ll destroy this myself
I want doubts (x4)

Bones are numb
Tongue is broken
Eyes wide at the chance to choke
See it shining in the light
No question
When your life’s been just a joke
This is you
Every future
Every past
It’s all too bad
See it shining in the light
No question
This is all you’ve ever had
Yeah you had
Swimming just to sink
Always full
Head aches
You lie like you’re tied to the floor
The pot is boiling in the water
No question
This is not your last closing door
Yeah
Swimming just to sink
You sold your life
You sold your car
High enough to see what you truly need
I sold your car
I sold your life
High enough to see
High enough to see

Unplanned Obsolecence

Its life is spent
Pursuing its ends
We laugh at this now
But it’s already changed
Our faces our phases
Our faces our phases turn around
Our faces our phases
Our faces our phases turn around
This moves quick
And considerate
Programmed to fail
This model and make
Our faces our phases
Our faces our phases turn around
Our faces our phases
Our faces our phases turn around
Machines can’t feel
Just hit reset
I’m holding on
But I never rest
Our convenience, our despair
(Our convenience, our despair)
No sense in logic, if it keeps us here
(No sense in logic, if it keeps us here)
We’re lagging, still dragging
(We’re lagging, still dragging)
No sense in logic, if it’s never clear
(No sense in logic, if it’s never clear)
Machines can’t feel
Just hit reset
I’m holding on
But I never rest

Self-Subterfuge
02:51
|

They made me change my face
Just to ease a
A sullen sound
They put me far away
Just so I would never be found
But if you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me
I couldn't keep
Keep a secret
I couldn't keep to myself
They made me get involved
Now I'm the only one left
But if you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me
They made me change my face
Just to ease a
A sullen sound
They put me far away
Just so I would never be found
But if you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me, then you find out
If you find me
I think I've wasted my whole life
Call it self-subterfuge
I made so many excuses
But I was born
Born to lose

Menace
02:46

I want the gold standard
I want it all
If you live for nothing
You’re a fool
Bury me
With all I own
You won’t get it back
Not even when I’m cold
Don’t you call me shallow
Don’t you call this greed
Don’t you call me single-minded
I don’t need your heavy standards
You lack character
You had to earn
I was born with everything
I never had to learn
Bury me
With all I own
You won’t get it back
Not even when I’m
Don’t you call me shallow
Don’t you call this greed
Don’t you call me single-minded
I don’t need you
Don’t you call me shallow
Don’t you call this greed
Don’t you call me single-minded
I don’t need you

Useless
02:26
|
|||
I don’t think
Think about it
Every time I do I lose my mind
Gotta get lost so I can find you
Swimming in lies but that's not the truth
Let’s risk our lives for entertainment
Laugh and burn while light every pipeline
This is love for us useless little creatures
You’re a wretch like me
No use in forgetting something
You’re a wretch like me
So arrested by this
Lovely little useless feeling
You lean in
We dye our hearts so they match
You lean in
To seethe, to writhe, to be versed
In occupation
Hands on a book
Our rusting hooks
Why can’t this all be
Why can’t I be
Useless

There are those
For whom the rules do not apply
There are those
For whom the rules do not apply
There are those
For whom the rules do not apply
There are those
For whom the rules do not apply

It Doesn't Get Better
02:11
|

The cart pulls horse
In true direction
With latent distress
From every
Tire fire and burning mattress
I’m writing this all down
In case it doesn’t get better
You know what you need
All depends on the others
I put it so high on the shelf
I forgot about my health

Permanent Headache
05:52
|

The old man's got his foot stuck in something again
And all we hear is the sound of country music
You can't break every neon light
I struggle to remember it's not in my daily routine
It won't be there when I wake up
Even if I wake up
It seems I've got my foot stuck in something again
If you couldn't afford this
If you couldn't make friends
You can't break every neon light
No one's happy to see you
Lining up to hear your jokes
Sick to your stomach
Stuck on your notes
I pulled the pin, I made it stop
So starved for attention
I should be ashamed
Of how much you believe in convention
You wake up to wake up
And you wait in line to wait in line
What's less than nothing?
You wait in line to wait in line
Won't ask for something
You wait in line to wait in line
You wake up to wake up
And you wait in line to wait in line
You wait in line to wait in line
You wait in line to wait in line
You wait in line to wait in line
