Intro 01:42
The first time we touched I wanted to die. You can cry on your own while I melt in your arms.
2.
All She Has 03:05
Trying hard to feel. My fingers gotta steal. And it’s bleeding from my broken hand. Full of love. Full of life. Full of everything that gets me right. I am all she has, and I will not ask why. Lead me in. Words in her head. If you’re burning out to feed yourself, does it bring you hell or fill your stomach? Lies in the grave, never says a thing. Never had much to wanna change. I am all she has, and I will not ask why. Lead me in. Words in her head.

Doing Fine 04:36
What if I could see inside your mind? Where would I be? The boy you call when no one else is there to hear you pout? All the places I’ve gone and the people I’ve met never comforts me and I don’t know why. It’s the side of me that died. Are you got me, watch me in my eyes. Destroy it so we can live better lives. I’m doing fine. Wasting my time. Now that all our clouds are gone, the sun is shining light on you and everything you’ve done. Well, now I’m you and you’re me.

I can’t believe you loved a lying, backstabbing-in-a-half, trader, faker, two-faced, tall drink of water. Well at least I’m not home on Saturday nights dove’n deep in the mirror with a thought on my mind. “I’m a little passive aggressive and I wanna seem nice, but really offensive like a coma”. Do you know where else we may hide our doubts? In a hole in the backyard, buried. Nothing hurts my stomach more than the lies I feed it before bed. She doesn’t need me and I feel the exact same way. I wish you could read my mind all the time. And I can’t leave you out. I’ll feel bad.
5.
Flower Song 04:27
You’re a little souped-up beauty queen. I’m a little get right feeling and I’m frayed around the edge. And I just will always be everything you want but not anything you need. So just stay one more night with me. I need to feel the warmth of your body ‘til the feeling finally hits me. Then I am all I need. I’ve been gone for so long, and my heart’s been broken. And I gave you the very last key. You open me up, and pour me out and now I’m empty. You’re starting to break. You won’t ever stop groaning ‘til the feeling stops coming. And it gets hard to take. You’re dying inside, trying hard to survive. And you don’t know why day after day you put up a fight when you know deep inside we all end up in the same place. Just lye on the ground and don’t make a sound until you can’t see.

Headless 02:34
Sometimes I look at her and right into her eyes. I notice the way she thinks about dying with a smile. Curved lips she just can’t disguise, but she thinks that lying to herself will make her life worth while. Fall asleep in her bed. Wake up the next day buried in her head. We start this process again while her migraine consumes what little life she has left to live. I think it’s fine but I think too much. In your bed with you, I just feel more alone. I think I’m better off dead, ‘cause I don’t know where to go. Young and in love and everyone loves you. If it’s all in my head I think I’d rather be headless.
8.
Lonely Love 04:14
I saw you like roses in bloom. The craving is not consume. I wish you would see me too. I’m not a rose like you. But I’ve been waging wars inside my head. This lonely life is shattering. But I give up, and I give in. This lonely life is shattering. I’d never ask you for a thing. Just show me up, its flattering. And steal the life inside of me. Yeah, lonely love, lonely love. It’s hard to live. Its hard to breathe.
9.
Saw you coming so I closed my eyes. Felt me up, I left you there to die. You died inside. Its good 'cause I still love you. I saw you running out of precious time. Felt the light burn out and fade inside. You died inside. Its good because I still love you. Never really know when it starts killing me. Take a gun and load it. You lead me to believe you were gonna use it. You don't use anything. Take apart the whole thing. You start trembling. Can you save me? I'm so empty inside. I do not know why. I'm trying to find a way.
10.
Don’t go leaving me untied. Believe me when I say that everything’s alright. And I don’t wanna be safe, caught in a landslide. It’s almost like my minds dead, but my body’s alive. And I don’t wanna be safe. Cause you don’t wanna be safe. So I let you go. And you hold on. You’re headstrong. And I’m gone. Oh no, no, no, no. And then you knew that I wasn’t for you. And it hurts to hold on, but it’s what you do when you love somebody else.
