Another Idea 05:02
Here's another idea and it's better than what we're doing now treasonous thoughts spilled on the ground It's another idea Accusations make everything go wrong We've twisted this knife for far too long It's another idea Listen to me and lock your eyes to mine A bitter mistake swept to the side And all we've lost, my blood, your trust we'll make new rules so we can't lose And all I want to say to you is "you're the one that I adore" Here's another idea if simplicity sounds like heaven to you a silent concession overdue It's another idea Press your body so tenderly to mine and we can leave this all behind

Stay Awake 04:08
Soon you'll see the moment that I sweat for Bruise and bleed You'll never find your way home All you read, a cracked and twisted cable Soothe and seethe It's useless and disabled And now it's gone I'm losing what I had The only thing worthwhile, crumbed into dirt Brains and seeds, they birth all your ideas Anxious me, I'll never get what I want And now it's gone I'm losing what I had The only thing worthwhile, crumbled into dirt Save yourself, stay awake Stop the dreams that haunt you Slash their throats, find a way Never get what you want Lose yourself, run away Never find your way home Save yourself, stay awake Stop the dreams that haunt you
3.
A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep In dreams we lose all our heartaches whatever you wish for you keep Have faith in your dreams and someday the rainbow will come shining through No matter how your heart is grieving if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true

I know she's down there under the line I know she's melting in wintertime I know she's spinning out into space I know I've lost her without a trace I know all there's to know I know all there's to know I know she's lying -- everything's fine I know she'll come back home in no time I know all there's to know I know all there's to know I know she's having the time of her life I know deep down she's hardly alive

Roll on, thunder, shine on, lightnin' The days are long and the nights are frightnin' Nothing matters anyway, that's the hell of it Winter comes and the winds blow colder While some grew wiser, you just grew older And you never listened anyway, that's the hell of it Good for nothing, bad in bed Nobody likes you, you're better off dead Goodbye We've all come to say goodbye Born defeated, died in vain Super destructive, you were hooked on pain And though your music lingers on All of us are glad you've gone If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too Love yourself as you love no other Be no man's fool and be no man's brother We're all born to die alone, y'know, that's the hell of it Life's a game where they're bound to beat you And time's a trick, it can turn to cheat you We only waste it anyway, that's the hell of it Good for nothing, bad in bed Nobody likes you, you're better off dead Goodbye We've all come to say goodbye Born defeated, died in vain Super destructive, you were hooked on pain And though your music lingers on All of us are glad you've gone
6.
And if I bleed it was my plan And I believe I can win her hand It's not for me, my desire to win I wear my crown but you never knew You're eyes away but I still find you The lust behind eye, I want to be him Of all the nights there's not one clean Shed all your skin and become your dream My dream of you, dear, finding your way to me
7.
Silent 04:05
A new setback Another new restraint I fold and shrink until I break If you're silent and screaming all the same Your breathing gives your thoughts away to me To me it's all the same I wouldn't have it any other way If I listen to what you have to say I'll only hear the breath you make If you give in and pull me to the floor there's nothing else that matters more to me To me it's all the same I wouldn't have it any other way
8.
This is my first time into the ocean Stars fall from the sky into the water This is my last time out in the open You've used it all and nothing is left so this is as far as I go into the ocean I'm finding a different way than the things you say It's complicating I need you in view but what I see is different than what you do Wasting energy and apologies on the things that they said You made your move from trading secrets I am not gonna leave this alone I'm not gonna leave this alone It's only for a little while until this feeling resolves under the pressure it's caused And when you wake up one day and feel it eating away at you I know that it won't stop you This is my last time, again, in the open Today I will not pretend I'm not gonna leave this alone You have got to understand I'm not gonna leave this alone I will destroy your plans I'm not gonna leave this alone Just as fast I can I know that it won't stop you This is my last time, again, in the open

Escape 03:40
I'll trade you this for that A couch, a drink, a hand, a mouth These actions you complete, they don't help you grow, just rearrange things Red eyes watch all the hype and I wipe it down as you sleep it off Vacate your dead-end life I can make this work for me, too Escape never felt so safe Letting you drown in your mistakes Soak up ultraviolet light Alcohol poisoning Blood for chlorophyll You quit without a fight Name tag by day, name tag at night Escape never felt so safe Letting you drown in your mistakes And all the thing that made your life so comfortable were mine And all the muddy nights you can't remember stole your time So we'll escape and leave you in a world you can't survive We'll escape and have a life
