The memory of you is burned into my skull,
I can't believe that I'm not better yet
You're in my head, it's hard to think that I'm not dead
You left me stranded in uncertainty
But I won't fight, it's not my qualm
I'm sick of dancing around on an atom bomb
and it's time for you to go so make departure from my mind
I may be totally and surely deaf and dumb, but I'm not blind
Apart from me you're riddled with debauchery
I can't help feeling that I'm better now
So keep your words, I hope you feel how much it hurts
You're living in your own denial
But I won't fight, it's not my qualm
I'm sick of dancing around on an atom bomb
and it's time for you to go so make departure from my mind
I may be totally and surely deaf and dumb, but I'm not blind

It doesn't matter how I feel
because my feelings aren't real
Friends forever, see you never.
My friends can't play the piano quite like you could
and their music to me doesn't sound quite right,
when we'd sit out on the parking lot I never looked away.
The fleeting image of your shoes left deeper foot prints
in my mind than I would like.
I don't suppose I matter anymore.

I've got no peace of mind, these weary eyes
know what they saw and can't unsee.
You're not a social burden, say the word and we'll
slip out so we can leave.
You're not alone in walking out at dark,
you're far too smart for your own good.
So stick around, enjoy the little things
that make life seem the way it should.
I'm feeling down and looking out,
'cause I can't see your face,
if it were up to me, I'd never leave
I'd be there through your fall from grace.
I'd tell you what you meant to me, I'd say it to your face
Now I'd do anything to be the four of us.

Complacent Stare
03:05

Hardly made it out alive I find
I'm having such a miserable time to get by
Hardly made it out alive I find
That you're the one that's kicking sand in my eye
I'm tired of all you blonde and vapid hipsters
Send me a girl with long dark hair
and a place to spare and she'll
show me the world and I'll
Never find my complacent stare again
Hardly made it out alive and I find
That you're the one that's kicking sand in my eye
And trouble never seems to fail to find me
When I'm hiding out inside my mind

Time Shift

It's funny how I thought things would end differently
But I'm still running straight into the ground
And if there's anything I learned I cast my heart out to sea
But I'm still running straight into the ground
I tried to run away from me, I don't think anybody cares
If there's a future I can't see it, I don't wanna see you there
And won't you be so proud of me as I am struggling for air
I cannot breathe
Verse
Chorus
Your words weren't coming out
to watch you go without an end
My friend I couldn't bear to
Hear you as you plead
For company, a simple melody of hope,
of love and yet I wouldn't sing.

Electric Knee

You'll be the first to know when the fire gets out
and I quietly slip out the backdoor.
Leaving questions unanswered and closure's antic
I can't entertain anymore
Emotional burdens and debts outstanding
the train's gone by and I'm now running
to catch a long ride because I'm not coming home.
That night under street lights as we sat beneath the starry ocean
Wide eyes fearing goodbyes and the cigarettes that I still owe you
I'll always be sorry for the things that I could never bring myself to
say I'm sorry and I realize now that I'm to blame, too.

Perfect

I don't care that you've gone away
You're not coming back today
I don't care, I miss you still
If I don't say it someone will
Everyone's so
Beautiful and I'm not
I covered all the mirrors,
stumbled down the stairs
Spent my day in darkness
because I know no one cares
And if you're getting sick of me,
count yourself among the rest
I don't need your help shoveling
snow that's falling from my chest
Because you're perfect
And I'm not.

Time is not a cure for heartache
If you just haven't relapsed yet
And when you realize that love's a mistake
You'll thank your heartache in the end
And I'm so sad, a heart is a terrible thing to have
When it's not beating anymore
But I'm okay, I'll probably make it through the day
Just to start the climb again tomorrow
And tomorrow will be just like today
