Broken Eyes 03:12
Pulled me into bed and held me down, Dug your nails in my head. Recently I find myself, Reliving all the shit that you said. I sleep all week under heavy sheets, It seems I'm on my death bed. I've had to come to terms, I'm in over my head. My broken eyes, Can see through your disguise, But I keep coming back for more of your bullshit. You make me homesick, Never getting over it, I'll keep on coming back for more and more. I've been taking late night walks, You wander in my mind. Smoke to numb the endless talk, I drink to keep me blind. Not feeling anything except a pulse, Reassure myself it's not my fault. It’s not my fault. My broken eyes, Can see through your disguise, But I keep coming back for more of your bullshit. You make me homesick, Never getting over it, I'll keep on coming back for more and more. I sleep all week, get over it. It's not my fault. If I lose hope this will bury me, A hundred nights of restless sleep. If I lose hope this will bury me, Rise above so I can see. My broken eyes, Can see through your disguise, But I keep coming back for more of your bullshit. You make me homesick, Never getting over it, I'll keep on coming back for more and more.

It's cold in here again, You left your window open like this heart inside my chest. As I sink into this bed, I feel the warmth leaving my breath, The crooked pictures on these walls must know you best. But I wouldn't know. Your lies speak a thousand truths. It seems dark but the light's on, I second guess but I know you're headstrong, You never shy from the deep end, You're always here to watch me descend. Nurture your pretense, I understand it's just a defense, You always jump in the deep end, You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned. I'm not much at first glance, Just another man with an awkward stance Though you're never one to dwell on the details I can't help thinking that you'll never get a better chance. So take my word There's many more who would say it worse And it's absurd To know that you'll end up first. But I wouldn't know. Your lies speak a thousand truths. It seems dark but the light's on, I second guess but I know you're headstrong, You never shy from the deep end, You're always here to watch me descend. Nurture your pretense, I understand it's just a defense, You always jump in the deep end, You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned. And I won't lie, I am one to pry I always knew you'd be the one to flat-line my insides. I don't expect nothing more than what is meant Those crooked pictures speak a story best unsaid. It seems dark but the light's on, I second guess but I know you're headstrong, You never shy from the deep end, You're always here to watch me descend. Nurture your pretense, I understand it's just a defense, You always jump in the deep end, You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned. It seems dark but the light's on, I second guess but I know you're headstrong, You never shy from the deep end, You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned.

Spine 02:52
You’re not cool, you’re just lethargic. It’s concerning to know you’re not learning And stabbing knives in my back just won’t cut it. I grew this spine, So shut your mouth don’t waste my time. Just realign. This toxic overstating is so persistent Shame it’s boring me though. I’m sick of hearing you complain About how you wasted yesterday I’ve grown tired of your mistakes The empty promises you make. Concerning, not learning. Concerning, not learning. I’m sick of hearing you complain About how you wasted yesterday I’ve grown tired of your mistakes. It’s concerning to know you’re not learning And stabbing knives in my back just won’t cut it. I grew this spine, So shut your mouth don’t waste my time. It’s concerning to know you’re not learning And stabbing knives in my back just won’t cut it. I grew this spine, So shut your mouth don’t waste my time This was sculpted by design So bite your tongue and realign.

Mind Sweeper 03:28
Mind Sweeper Lyrics You had me running scared right from the start You swept my mind and I fell apart. I was never clear with my intentions It's always fun with a bit of tension. We're self-destructive, We'll be the first to say we fucking love it. What kind of person could take what we've been through? We drowned in the rain now there's nothing left to do. I'd rather suffer through than waste my time. I've come to realise it's only life. With the sun in my eyes I'm feeling all my will begin to pry its way out of my mind. Pay more attention this time We tread the line between the bones, the stepping-stones of life. What kind of person could take what we've been through? We drowned in the rain now there's nothing left to do. I'd rather suffer through than waste my time. I've come to realise it's only life. I'm not giving up, I'm just down on my luck, I've given too much of me to this. Time spent on this fence looking for some kind of context. It's not wasting time if you suffer through life, all you can do is try. We're not giving up, we're just down on our luck, We've given too much of us to this.
