A Knock 02:03
There's a knock at the door I first felt it 'round the time all ice had melted Seems like everyone braces for the snow when they're safe and they don't know bad things happen when its warm Do I conform? How does anyone have time for social norms? 'cause working up the courage to answer the door... ...well I better work more There's a knock There's a knock growing louder now shaking bookshelves, pictures falling down I can't seem to figure out this cold case Wrap my brain in police tape Don't cross if you know what's good for you, your family, your neighborhood These neurons don't fire like they should... ...god I wish they would What can I say that you will hear? The exit pounding loud and clear as violent as the voice inside that screams that I should disappear If I don't beat this, maybe I will I'm running out of guts to spill There's a knock There's a knock There's a knock and my hand is on the door

Oh my god the world is burning down around me and I can't hear my own voice calling out to safety Oh my god the world is burning down around me I can't feel my own hands treading now I fear I'll drown It starts again Can you feel it? The fabric of the waves above your head pressing in Take a breath while you can but you better make it last 'cause the tide is coming back Always lookin' up just to fill my lungs with anything that's real I thought I'd reach the shore by now So much left to figure out Shredded muscles failing now Waste all my worry before I drown Always lookin' up just to fill my lungs with anything that's real When everything I love is a figment I'd give anything to feel alive Always lookin' up Always lookin' up It'll get better with time you say Things will not always be this way It'll get better yeah It will get better It will get better with time... It hasn't got better with time and I am losing my will to stay alive It isn't any better When does it get better? It has to get better before it gets worse now Oh my god the world is burning down around me and I can feel my body break against the surface tension

I wont beg you for forgiveness You'll have to kill me for my silence Burn my house down Sirens so loud I lay their echoes at your feet on these six strings Let them burn my offering Still no sign of you breathing life Wonder why my love resides with you Different colored light is shining through Still no sign of you breathing life How am I supposed to die for you? Different colored light is shining through Skin communion Sigh and fill my cup Bless the altar Turn and spill my blood You don't taste much different than she does You don't waste much time on giving up You gave up

I See You 03:33
I've been working on my reply to that look in your eyes telling me that it gets dark no matter where you are 3 AM again and you feel like you're invisible and nothing is real Sometimes I feel invisible too and I see you I see you Don't you get sick of wishing you were dead? So do I Don't you just wish for silence instead? So do I Let's wait at the edge of the world and watch it burn As it grows dark and cold, you keep a light on Beside me I feel your skin glow red when you say "No one wants me dead more than me, so set me free" If you go then I go too Let's try something new Let's try something Let's wait at the edge of right now and watch it burn As the darkness surrounds, you are the light on Beside me I feel your skin glow red when you say "I want this more than I want death and I think I'll stay"

Islands 03:16
Uncle Sammy's got a gun and I think he's out to get me The truth is the proof is in the Islands swallowed, rising waters Torches fill my lungs with fire Try to burn this rainbow bridge and I'll drown your bones in quicksand Islands swallowed, rising waters Torches fill my lungs with fire I need to make sure you stay dead

A Quiet Exit 05:30
Summoning my ghosts just to hear them sing Claw between my ribs so I can feel something Who knows now what they hide? I don't pay them mind Not convinced its better just to stay alive a little bit longer Eating from your hand just to fill this void 'cause going it alone has left me paranoid The questions that I ask of the universe are met with empty laughing and mangled curses I'm just looking for a quiet exit A break where I can take my leave I just wanna know where the end is I can't seem to let it rest in peace Filling exit bags in my damaged brain Lead me to the slaughter where I'll die in vain I will take your silence like a starting gun A voice inside says "run boy run" I'm just looking for a quiet exit A break where I can take my leave I just wanna know where the end is I can't seem to let it rest in peace Don't let it rest now If every single bone returns to the ground The words of kings and peasants make the same damn sound Then I have faith that everything will come back down I'm just looking for a quiet exit A break where I can take my leave I just wanna know where the end is I can't seem to let it I can't seem to let it I'm done looking for a map to guide me I'm done begging for my lungs to breathe Every minute here feels like dying You can't seem to let me rest in peace I'm just looking for a quiet exit Let me rest I'm just looking for a quiet place to die
