Abyss 02:55
when we were still young out looking for shells and you pushed your boat out when i was caught in a swell and i nearly drowned in the late evening light you just kept saying : "you're alright! you're alright!" you always knew just what to say to pull me back when i was fading away and i can be mean sometimes i don't mean to yell i wanna be with you when we get outta this hell how did we get into this abyss? you only talk when you're asleep is that what you want us to be? and i pace around while you're at the fair looking for signs that won't ever be there how did we get into this abyss? how did we get into this?

Honor Roll 03:02
honor roll you were an honorable mention but you'd just hide in the dark it was a point of contention and i thought i should mention Haley, you deceived me tried me so completely Haley, you defeat me you need to release me bless your heart you must still think it matters what you say to yourself as you stare up the ladder as you stare up the i'd really like to help you out diffuse the charge and kiss your mouth you mustn't harbor any doubt that isn't what this is about i can't control your idle charm i get so spun i have to shout my love for you will not disarm and you've gotta find your own way out honor roll i was an honorable mention and i was out of control but i still paid attention yeah, i still paid attention i need you to see me try me and believe me i need you to see me try me and believe me i'd really like to help you out diffuse the charge and kiss your mouth you mustn't harbor any doubt that isn't what this is about i can't control your idle charm i get so spun i have to shout my love for you will not disarm and you've gotta find your own way out

i walk through the city bare bones for the committee and i need to take a five i'm in a controlled dive and i've lost most feeling i'm alone on the ceiling it's a place where i can thrive i'm in a controlled dive i'm a ghost of a fire of a fighter retired i'm alone, but i'm alive in a controlled dive

Canyon 03:38
the heart remembers what the mind forgets in bits it swallows so deep that it will only be sipped in dreams and i was easiest for you to quit when you knew i'd never follow i just try to pull together the rift but it's a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it it's a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it it's a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it and it's all your fault admit it you hide what you want but the lies never keep you take off your mask then you lay down and weep and all these random things you speak your talk is cheap and boring me you're a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it you're a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it you're a canyon and i'm at the bottom of it and it's all your fault admit it

Get Got 02:56
what if life is just a game? i guess it is to certain men who think not everyone's the same they who live by cool and what's the trend they who live by killing to pretend that life is a game you can win but what if death is just the end? what if life is all we get? what if life is just a dream and someday we wake up in hell no one to know there but ourselves i don't even know him too well and the afterlife is just a hope not a hoax, but still just chances so talk to everyone you can and try to remember all your dances cause what if death is just the end? what if life is all we've got?

Leave 03:34
i'm taking a red line and ain't it a blast? i'm a last resort so you can relax cause if i even tried if i even tried you'd ignore it my hands were untied i had held her once before and there as she cried i won't leave her anymore a light through the window i watch the earth pass you are the one dear i know has my back and if i even tried if i even tried you'd ignore it my hands were untied i had held her once before and there as she cried i won't leave her anymore

all the angry youth were shaking on the gates when i saw her arrive on the back of a bike as she turned to move i think she smiled at me and the fire and light lit up like a light-brite and i saw in her eyes some old Roman disguise i never knew a rebel i could get close to it's hard enough being a spy when she could never know that i was on her side she could never know that i was on her side and on my evening route i saw her in the square with a bat in her hand looking off into nowhere land and all the angry youth they had gone to bed but one rebel remained not to be contained her beating heart rang and some part of me changed i never knew a rebel i could get close to you know it's hard enough being a spy when she could never know that i was on her side she could never know that i was on her side

Sara(h) 04:30
sara(h) pulls light from darkened skies she walks light flickers down and it flows into the ground sara(h)'s far away i only speak to her on birthdays she knows just what i see all she's got to do is ask me

i know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna drown the truck it's just a memory of you i think that it's bad luck i think that it's bad luck it sits at the top of the drive i think you left it there to spite me and it is no surprise you didn't even leave me a key you didn't even leave me a key and you are what you ain't if what you is is a fake and you aren't who you say because none of us are i gotta get rid of that truck it eats away at me i want to be afraid but i'm afraid to be i am afraid to be

Rain Down 04:10
i don't wanna have to have today in my memory i don't wanna write it down at all and i've been in a castle and i've worked in the mud but ain't nothing i've seen is gonna stop the flood it's gonna rain down whenever it wants to it's just gonna rain down whenever it wants to and i don't wanna have to call you up to hear you and i don't need no second guess at all and i waited to meet you and you finally called you said you think that you thought we should not get involved you know it's gonna rain down whenever it wants to it's just gonna rain down whenever it wants to when i look i try to find if you've found a place to hide you're probably gone and it's probably wise cause the waters rise and rise and rise it's gonna rain down whenever it wants to it's just gonna rain down whenever it wants to it's just gonna rain down whenever it wants to it's just gonna rain down whenever it wants to you know?
