1.	Leaves 03:31	lyrics	buy track
It could take us weeks to never decide... Well, that we're through... I was wrong and you were right... Well, I told you... So sorry,.. you're gonna be... So sorry,.. all the leaves fall on me... All The Leaves Fall On Me All The Leaves Fall On Me A hemmorage we can set in motion... Wide words and blown wounds... I don't see where you're going... You are by far the worst I knew... So glad it's over,.. you and me... So glad it's over,.. all the leaves fall on me... All The Leaves Fall On Me All The Leaves Fall On Me All The Leaves All The Leaves All The Leaves Fall On Me Up, Down, always over me... You were Up, Down, always over me... So glad it's over,.. I'm so glad it's over,.. all the leaves fall on me... All The Leaves Fall On Me All The Leaves All The Leaves Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down Falling Down
2.	Kelly Pain 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Before they open and decided their blue, thoughts were whispered to drive me cruel, From public watch into private rooms.. and those that speak, are mostly fools. i never loved you i never loved you i never loved you the way i could Before they open. the same sick thoughts, of things I've broken the times i'm lost, You graze the skin , like warning shots, and mourning you, is every morning frost i never loved you i never loved you i never loved you the way i could Please don't miss the Moments and walk away Please don't miss the Moments that crawl away Please don't miss the Moments and walk away Please don't miss the Moments that slip away holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you holding on without you
3.	Connectors 03:30	lyrics	buy track
If I asked you.. to leave me alone, to dream like there's no one alive. And have the black suits, carry me home .. and cushion my head from the side. If I asked you... and if I asked you.. Would you... Well, it's a sad truth.. to know what you own, right at the times when you lose. Like a handful of smoke, holding us both .. and watching us float through the roof. We would never bruise... we would never bruise.. You cast those.. who try to impose, living in prisons; for heads. And I love you, like nobody knows .. connected in all sunsets. 'Cause I would die for you... Oh, I would die for you.. It's True........
4.	Microphones In The Mattress 04:20	lyrics	buy track
There are microphones in the mattress and mercury in your heart. There's atrophy in your chances and poetry in your scars. 'Cause you're a masterpeice stalled in traffic... And all I've ever wanted from the start. You're in my heart. Help Me, Decide What's Right For Me, Divide My Life In Three, Pieces, For You Butterflies on elastic, are all you ever noticed. I tried to see what you're asking, but appologies are hopeless. 'Cause you're the worst of me, and the words to life. And all I've ever wanted from the start, You're in my heart. Help Me, Decide What's Right For Me, Divide My Life In Three, Pieces, For You This Is Leaving This Is More Kisses Bleed The Seams Are Torn This Is Leaving This Is More Kisses Bleed The Seams Are Torn This Is Leaving This Is War Kisses Bleed The Seams Are Torn
5.	Brake Bleeder 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Blank stares into the camera,.. With no thoughts of what's she's after, No trace of any laughter, No way out, There's no way home... Stars blind the souls of travelers, Names find their homes in asphalt. Faint cries, come back to ask for, All you want, This lonely hope... You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, The light fades, in rows are hopeless, Lies, charades and roller coasters,.. A life, I save, inside a closed fist... The lights go off, She's always on... You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart, You Sold Your Heart,
6.	Squeeze Through 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Bleed through, the cracks of a falser you. Recluse, nothing is for you. Squeeze through, and maybe it might come true. 'Cause we knew, all about you. Now it seems so clear... You're never gonna run away again, When I'm near... No Resist, No restraint Close Your Eyes and Drift Away 'Cause No One's Ever Here To Stay I'll beat you, Even if it kills me too. 'Cause I need you,.. Like a hole in the ocean. To reach through,.. and capsize a size 5 wound. 'Cause nine "yous".. will never be one me... Now it seems so clear... You're never gonna run away again, When I'm near... No Resist, No restraint Close Your Eyes and Drift Away 'Cause No One's Ever Here To Stay We Were Always We Were Always We Were Always We Were Always We Were Always We Were Always We Were Always Here
7.	Rivals 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Mind your business, pay attention to me, Medication's all the wisdom I need. I'm perceived as a part of the problem, So I'll relieve you of any involvement, with me.... I'm continually gunned down, by glib remarks, Best man, pressing the bruised parts. Rebound's just a word in your weak heart. All I every wanted for you was a new start. So What, You're Leavin'.. Then Go Away... So What, You're Leavin'.. Then Go Away... Find home, a way through a pencil, Blind hopes, broke away by the insults. I'm cold, in a way that's resentful. I feel I'm sinking deeper and deeper... I feel bad, so why pretend, That there's a way to make this end. There's no way to starve this fever... I feel I'm sinking deeper and deeper... So What, You're Leavin'.. Then Go Away... So What, You're Leavin'.. Then Go Away...
8.	Something Skipping 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Everybody's talking, but know one's ever there. Everybody's nauseous, trying to find an ear. Empathetically I'm ignored, as I sink to the bottom floor. Sickly skip along, burning up for a chance to thaw... Waiting... for Something... Know one said you could chew this, so cut me up and we'll share. Swimming through restitution, and bullet holes in your stare. Waiting... for Something... For Something... True And If You ASk Yourself You Might Be Wrong And If You Love Yourself You're To Far Gone I Know This Defeatist Disown This And Cut Me Out Without You I'm Not Alone I Know This Defeatist Disown This And Cut Me Out Without You I'm Not Alone I'm Not Alone Soft strides in caution, can never help you prepare. The lost lives that haunt you, But some things you should never repair. And If You ASk Yourself You Might Be Wrong And If You Love Yourself You're To Far Gone I Know This Defeatist Disown This And Cut Me Out Without You I'm Not Alone I Know This Defeatist Disown This And Cut Me Out Without You I'm Not Alone I Know This This Feeling Disown This And Cut Me Out Without You I'm Not Alone I'm Not Alone I'm Not Alone I'm Not Alone I'm Not Alone
9.	Adele' 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Adele.... I know you're leaving home again. I'm wondering... If I will ever see you alive again, 'cause nothing in this world, ever really made much sense, But benevolent tears.... always running down your chin. The conscience that fails is just another cross you fill with nails The conscience that fails is just another cross you fill with nails The conscience that fails............... Adele.... I found the secret through all your care. Finally, this hope, that I'd be lucky enough to share. Your severance of fear, is the reason that I'm still here. What a privilege, the wind has, to run it's fingers through your hair. Never another....... The conscience that fails is just another cross you fill with nails The conscience that fails is just another cross you fill with nails The conscience that fails is just another cross you fill with nails The conscience that fails............... if the world doesn't wont me, will you still love me if the world doesn't wont me, will you still care
10.	90% 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Disgusting traits, ninety percent, Are sad and so hopeless. Is this what it takes for us to be friends, When days are my culprits. Well, you shouldn't be bleeding for no intent, Believe me I'm open.... Well, I hate your face and all you resent, To see me unfocused.... And I'm only a friend, the enemy closest. And there's always the end, before it gets broken. Wait, Today, And We're Just Yesterday I Don't Walk, Away, There's Something Wrong With Me I Don't Act, Surprised, It's Just My Day To Die We're dusting saints, to hope you repent, So call me, I'm homeless. If all intent, seem to be bad,.. Well, sorry I'm lonesome. But, am I only the rain, falling on moments. And I'm always to blame, when something gets broken. Wait, Today, And We're Just Yesterday I Don't Walk, Away, There's Nothing Wrong With Me I Don't Act, Surprised, It's Just Our Day To Die
