Caution
01:26

i don't know what i want now
i was fine til you got in mind
light bulb is in my head
turning from yellow to red
caution
caution
proceed with caution
hear footsteps on the porch
get up and lock my door
keep nightlights by my bed
because i could end up dead

Eyes Without A Face
04:11
|

when im alone i cover the mirrors
only gaze in when someones around
maintain the illusion to anyone i can show
but smoke and mirrors cannot mask sound
i still hear the horns and the sirens
with the cracking of a record as accompaniment
downstairs you drag around bodies
dogs in the yard help you mask the scent
the knife cut too deep
in the seam on my face
the mask that i wear is too heavy
pick up the phone to hear your voice
and im reminded you're ashamed of me
every day a duress as i lay in this bed
board up the windows to shelter me
my shoulders are tied down with the weight of dread
something with in me explodes for everyone to see
the knife cut too deep
in the seam on my face
the mask that i wear is too heavy
pick up the phone to hear your voice
and im reminded you're ashamed of me
the glass is smashing
car is crashing
mangled limbs of trees and me
to the river we fall
i hear you call
what would my mother say?

Coffin With A Glass Lid
04:31

i don't have to let you in
if you dont wanna pay the admission
you're looking at a coffin with a glass lid
unprofessional autopsy, you mean nothing to me.
you can see what i dont want to show
you listen to me when i tell you no
you had all the traits that made it like fate
tell me why i cant look at your face
why don't you return the favor
because im out in the open, stuck in the cold
you're on the inside and i cant find the doors or windows
losing all the influence
that once got me on your scent
just another part of my routine
at least you think its hot when i get mean
because im sick of waiting around
waiting for all the crowds to die down
the silence is growing wider
and the gap is something i have to mind now
look in my eyes
do you see me?
do you really?
at the end of a summer romance
and what do i have to show for it

Styrofoam Rosegarden
02:22
|
|||
|
lawncare coming early
so no one will see
all the effort thats put in
to keep up the dress rehearsal
to keep their maws full
2.5 kids
fate is outbid
husband and wife
styrofoam rosegarden
white neighbors to go with the gates
no one will be staying up too late
all the babies in their cradles
no awareness life is so dull
the nuclear family dropped the bomb

Unfortunately, Yours
03:22
|
|||
|
So tired of all these faces, no new places
Ticking clocks and tongues spreading lies
Uncomfortable silences preside
Compassionate facades I don't wanna peak behind
Cuz when I do, it's time to run and hide
Don't wanna be here anymore
I need an escape
Be it a ladder or unconsciousness
Don't wanna be here anymore
I need an escape
Be it a ladder or unconsciousness
Insecurity gets through the blankets
Now it feels more like a shroud
These lyrics get so repetitive
Because I have no life to sing about
But when I do, it's time to run and hide
Don't wanna be here anymore
I need an escape
Be it a ladder or unconsciousness
Don't wanna be here anymore
I need an escape
Be it a ladder or unconsciousness
Movie nights and getting high
Hand me the keys out of this kind
Detachment is the new attachment
Hidden sincerity behind charming aloofness
Naivety of high school drama
Sincerity goes after the comma
Unfortunately, yours
Unfortunately, yours

The Haunted
03:40
|
|||
|
walk towards something i should run away from
voices carried by drafty halls
beckon you to come
as the maw of the house swallows me whole
chew up all the words you can swallow
now do you feel hollow?
you can never escape
the ghosts at the door
you know damn well
they've been here before
forever, and ever
you never left this place
running from the rooms to find nothing
you make the only sound
be it a beat or a ring
you lose what shallow ground
pulled back forward
you're like sand under current
know what you're running towards
the past will never come back
you can never escape
the ghosts at the door
you know damn well
they've been here before
forever, and ever
you never left this place
the past wilk never come back
the past will always come back
its coming with you
push it away
it'll catch up to you some day
