Losing You 02:58
mayday i think we're coming down with something are you down with that? my love i used to feel less than nothing can you remember that? i try but everything just feels much darker i'm like a ship without a pier i try i'm drowning in some other harbour when suddenly it all feels clear you're there everybody everywhere has heard the news from drayton valley to new orleans while i was busy thinking that it can't be true you're writing my obituary and i, am losing you say i, am losing you mayday things are only getting brighter can you see just yet? my love i think it's time we forgive things that i can't forget i try but everything just feels much farther there's no going back out there i try but you just try to make things harder and suddenly it all seems queer you're there everybody everywhere has heard the news from tokyo to calgary while i was busy thinking that it can't be true you're writing my obituary and i, am losing you say i, am losing you well, well, well, say, ay-e-ay if indecision's what we've faced then i'll say, ay-e-ay that in the end hell's commonplace and i'll save, my best i'll put you down beside myself and i'll save, my best from you cause i'm a low class, weeaboo, trap loving piece of shit but i'm who i need right now and you're the most selfish person i've ever met so this isn't working out! i'll save, my best i'll put you down beside myself and i'll save, my best from you everybody everywhere has heard the news from edmonton to surrey while i was busy thinking that it can't be true you're writing my obituary you're sleeping in the commissary you know you're better off without me i, am losing you say i, am losing you

Spirals 04:42
sirens in the night come crawling out in a melody and when my blood runs dry i know that they will come for me but not tonight you got drugs to numb my mind and pain to block out the memories and you'll find, that in time that you are all that is left of me what i'm trying to say doesn't matter anyway what i'm trying to say doesn't matter anyway my head is a wasteland (they're preying on summer) where is my fellow man? (we hunt and kill one another!) drifting falling out of time you try your best to stay in line but i know, oh i know that's how the story goes you, do you wanna be you i sure hope you do cause you got nothing left to lose you, do you wanna be you i sure hope you do cause you got nothing left to lose take your time and take your pills change your name prep the kill you gotta carve your face into the shape they want from you what do you have to lose? my head is a wasteland (they're preying on summer) where is my fellow man? (we hunt and kill one another!) my head is a wasteland (they're preying on summer) where is my fellow man? (we hunt and kill one another!) drifting falling out of time you try your best to stay in line but i know, oh i know that's how the story goes i hear the song in the distance i know i can't help but listen you just keep laying there staring at the ceiling but i can't stop throwing up just for the feeling i said oh, oh my love put me to rest i said oh, oh my love put me to rest // soup can life teeth on metal spoons off-white paste life is crumbs unwashed dishes broken door knobs i am not me though i was, three days adorned in splatters of gold vibrant red seeping oozing crawling emanating from me violet bliss it doesn't matter where you go it doesn't matter what you plan it doesn't matter who you tell you'll be back to blue skies soon enough lukewarm showers stomach aches more doctors more debt more soup this is not my life this is his i empty my bowl and i put on my jacket

Callouses 03:43
i've been trying to write you a love song but when i try all my words seem to come out wrong i love this city and i love your cracked skin on my skin i hold you gently and get ready to leave you once again and i'm lying on the airport floor praying that you'll never let me know you don't wanna do this anymore i'm trying hard not to let it show that you're the love of my life but still i'll catch my flight away from you tonight oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o i can't imagine what it'd be like to have to leave you and so i'm counting down the days till i can see you your callused hands make me feel dizzy in my dreams, and in my sleep i dream of what i long to tell you when i'm awake and i'm far too weak and i'm lying on the airport floor praying that you'll never let me know you don't wanna do this anymore i'm trying hard not to let it show that you're the love of my life but still i'll catch my flight away from you tonight oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o and i could be wrong but i think that i could never grow to hate you and i could be wrong but i think i'll try to let you know how i feel about you cause when i'm lying in your soft warm arms it doesn't matter who i really am so swing by at the end of the night and we'll get drunk and sing until we can't stand this love's too much, too young, too good to last but when i fall apart will you please hold my hand? oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o oh, oh, o o o please don't let me go oh, oh, o o o
