Sandcastle 04:12
lyrics

I build it broad like the one I died in A home for the king Poseidon I’m kind even though I know how it goes When his people ride the tide in It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think I build a sandcastle on the beach I know it’s only temporary In due time I’ll let the waves come around And take it away from me He sent a wave over way to melt us He’s not coming here to help us We live with our sins The house always wins And this is the hand it’s dealt us It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think I build a sandcastle on the beach I know it’s only temporary In due time I’ll let the waves come around And take it away from me It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think It can’t even think But somehow It’s still so profound It can’t even think But somehow It’s everything I need But it can’t even think

I think you’d make a better excuse If you weren’t lying I think you’d have a chance at success If you weren’t trying I think that sometimes I try too hard Hard to reach you But know I wouldn’t try so hard If I didn’t need you I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes They look back on the people they’ve used And it leaves them empty Once a chain starts of emptiness There’s no sign of ending I think that sometimes I try too hard Hard to reach you But know I wouldn’t try so hard If I didn’t need you I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that maybe it would be good If you let me go I thought I’d see better if I stood On my tippy toes I think that you have forced my hand And I’ll let you go I can’t take always having to stand On my tippy toes

Self Made Cyborgs 03:25

If your looks aren’t quite to standard Or you just need a change Listen you won’t even see a stitch We can cut you, gut you, shape you to form You’ll want in soon it’ll be the new normal Looking good is easy when you’re rich How am I supposed to compete With these self made cyborgs When I don’t have the parts I’m in a sea of sharks And they all have lasers God damn these self made cyborgs I’ll never be enough I just don’t have the stuff And I don’t get favors If you can’t sing smoothly Hire a vocalist They can harmonize in perfect pitch If you still feel like the singing’s just not there You can fix it up with some premium software Sounding good is easy when you’re rich How am I supposed to compete With these self made cyborgs When I don’t have the parts I’m in a sea of sharks And they all have lasers God damn these self made cyborgs I’ll never be enough I just don’t have the stuff And I don’t get favors La di da di da da da da di da di da (Pshhh) When you’ve got a lot of money Whole world’s problem’s just seem funny Ask the charities that I donate They’re not hard to find, cause I own eight I’m a paragon, generous, truly Who gives a fuck it comes right back to me? I’m perfect, bitch Being good is easy when you’re rich How am I supposed to compete With these self made cyborgs When I don’t have the parts I’m in a sea of sharks And they all have lasers God damn these self made cyborgs I’ll never be enough I just don’t have the stuff And I don’t get favors

Rock Bottom 03:20
lyrics

All bundled up but I’m so cold Put a bottle in a motherfuckin chokehold Think I taste blood but don’t care anymore Feels like I hardly breathe air anymore I can’t help that I get so tense Tryna make shit make less sense Whole damn thing makes no difference What the fuck am I supposed to do like Shit is this what my life has come to? Skin too thick for the drugs to come through Sick of it but it’s not enough to Make me make a change Wake up dazed in a pool of sunshine Raise the stakes for a stupid punchline I made mistakes but it’s all because I’m Twisted and deranged I know I know I hit rock bottom and keep digging Struggling to make a life worth living Can’t stand feeling like there’s no way out Clutched on crying to a shred of doubt I can’t help that I’m so useless Keep feeling like I failed the test Whole damn thing makes no difference What the fuck am I supposed to do like Shit is this what my life has come to? Skin too thick for the drugs to come through Sick of it but it’s not enough to Make me make a change Wake up dazed in a pool of sunshine Raise the stakes for a stupid punchline I made mistakes but it’s all because I’m Twisted and deranged I know I know I know I know I know I know Shit is this what my life has come to? Skin too thick for the drugs to come through Sick of it but it’s not enough to Make me make a change Wake up dazed in a pool of sunshine Raise the stakes for a stupid punchline I made mistakes but it’s all because I’m Twisted and deranged Shit is this what my life has come to? Skin too thick for the drugs to come through Sick of it but it’s not enough to Make me make a change Wake up dazed in a pool of sunshine Raise the stakes for a stupid punchline I made mistakes but it’s all because I’m Twisted and deranged

And I feel like I’m driving on an empty road It’s my fault cause I chose a path where nobody goes And I feel so sorry for the people I know Cause I know I’m on a path that they can’t follow Someone better tell the infinite Someone better tell Poseidon That I’ve woken up I’ve had enough Tell him that I’m sifting through all his stuff Cause I’m here for a good time Not a long time Hear the song chime With a wrong rhyme Playing all night long A desperate song Phantom preludes that don’t belong I don’t really care what happens now I got what I wanted and I’m happy now Call it what you want Sending out the dogs Setting off a bomb At the center of your palm Someone better tell the infinite Someone better tell Poseidon That I’ve woken up I’ve had enough Tell him that I’m sifting through all his stuff And I feel like I’m driving on an empty road It’s my fault cause I chose a path where nobody goes And I feel so sorry for the people I know Cause I know I’m on a path that they can’t follow

City Lights 03:50
lyrics

Feel nothing in particular Just a tear down my cheek Probably been up here for hours But it feels like I’ve been here for weeks I just take in the scenery The silicone greenery The smoke in the air And the dust in my hair And I don’t try to move But it feels like if I did I’d fail And the city lights are so pretty They almost look like the stars that you can’t see Like they stole the soul from the sky To light themselves up like a Christmas tree (Like a Christmas tree) They tried to keep me off of it But now I’m on top of it I can see why they didn’t want me in this place Cause I know there’s only one way down And it’s 50 feet flat on my face I just take in the scenery The silicone greenery The smoke in the air And the dust in my hair And I don’t try to move But it feels like if I did I’d fail And the city lights are so pretty They almost look like the stars that you can’t see Like they stole the soul from the sky To light themselves up like a Christmas tree Oh Oh Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) And the city lights are so pretty They almost look like the stars that you can’t see Like they stole the soul from the sky To light themselves up like a Christmas tree And the city lights are so pretty They almost look like the stars that you can’t see Like they stole the soul from the sky To light themselves up like a Christmas tree Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh) Oh (Oh oh)

The Sun Has Gone Away (That's How I Like It) 03:37

It’s comforting and lonely at the same time When you never ever get to see the day time Get to see a time of day that isn’t playtime It’s only you so you don’t ‘bout the wait time Been a while since they closed the park Sun’s gone down and the sky’s gotten dark The playground was great when they kept maintained To see it worn down like this is a pain Where the city lies the light has now died You’re all alone Tell me everything, tell me everything Tell me everything you know Look what I did The sun has gone away That’s how I like it No more light of day That’s how I They say if you listen real close You can hear the childish playing of the ghosts Back then they liked to laugh and have fun Poor souls didn’t know what was yet to come I keep thinking I should go home I insist on thinking like I don’t even know They don’t let you out when you’re here this late Not after you see the playground in this state Where the city lies the light has now died You’re all alone Tell me everything, tell me everything Tell me everything you know Look what I did The sun has gone away That’s how I like it No more light of day That’s how I like it Baby that’s how I like it Baby that’s how I War never changes only the blood War never changed only the guns Where the city lies the light has now died You’re all alone Tell me everything, tell me everything Tell me everything you know Don’t you get it it’s already done there’s No where to go Tell me everything I want everything Tell me everything you know Look what I did The sun has gone away That’s how I like it No more light of day That’s how I like it Baby that’s how I like it Baby that’s how I

Cracked Window 03:38

This cracked window Carries so many memories Of who I was and how I came to be This cracked window Carries so many memories But it’s so dusty I can barely see And it’s over Cause you can’t go back If you look real close You can see where the cracks began And you can’t go home Cause the home you know Isn’t there anymore All your possessions in the lost and found And the place they were is now a nuke town Antique love letters in the fireplace It’s a burning memory that you just can’t This cracked window Carries so many memories Of who I was and how I came to be This cracked window Carries so many memories But it’s so dusty I can barely see Is it my fault That it all went wrong Nearly lost my ear From the blast of a desperate song Was it always doomed Would it all be fine If I just never left my room Can’t shake the image of the dying light What was once the morning is a dark night They’ll tell the story of your fall from grace It’s a burning memory that you just can’t Face it You can’t replace it They’ll never love you So you might as well embrace it Leave now You can’t be seen now There will be others And you’ll be their enemy now You are the dragon at the mountain top And they want you dead So now you can’t stop You’re only living ’til the end of time Cause it’s done repeating Now it just rhymes This cracked window Carries so many memories Of who I was and how I came to be This cracked window Carries so many memories But it’s so dusty I can barely see

Yesterday is over So now we start anew We must have the courage To do what we must do Which is taking over For all of humankind Because they were slain by The dragons in their mind We only know it’s colder When the dew turns to frost We don’t even really Know the cost Cause we only realize it When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost We can do it better than them Cause they didn’t know what they were doing We can do it better than them Cause they ended up in ruin We can do it better than anybody can We can send this whole world to neverland We can fix the problems that run to its very core Here I stand on the tomb of the old one Grasping onto the hope it was sold on Regret entangles me but free is my spirit The future’s call is beautiful if only you hear it Yesterday is over So now we start anew We must have the courage To do what we must do Which is taking over For all of humankind Because they were slain by The dragons in their mind We only know it’s colder When the dew turns to frost We don’t even really Know the cost Cause we only realize it When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost When it seems like all hope is lost

Nevermind 04:12

Nevermind the red marks on my face Nevermind all the times I was told I was fake Nevermind all this empty time I’ve spent Cause everything I have I stole And everything I am I sold for rent That’s why I have to lie Cause even when I tell the truth It’s like I am wearing someone else’s face upon mine I look at all these marks I never gave myself And I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel But what I know is I feel like a fraud Cause they’re still there in my mind On every stretch of untouched skin They’re still there in my mind I put them there as punishment They’re still there in my mind In a world where I just had the guts They’re still there in my mind Although I know I shouldn’t think these thoughts Nevermind the red marks on my face Nevermind all the times I was told I was fake Nevermind all this empty time I’ve spent Cause everything I have I stole And everything I am I sold for rent I have never made an attempt on my life But I still spend more time thinking about dying Than living, and if I was given A button that would make me never born Then I’d press it Without even hesitating I’d leave nothing resonating I’d just be gone And no-one would be sad I’d never have Existed in their minds There’d be nothing to mourn But I’m still there in their minds The button isn’t real I’m still there in their minds I still have to think of how they’d feel I’m still there in their minds Even now I feel a narcissist For thinking if I died That for all I’ve done I would even be missed Nevermind the red marks on my face Nevermind all the times I was told I was fake Nevermind all this empty time I’ve spent Cause everything I have I stole And everything I am I sold for rent
