We built this monster faking our best faces Attaching ourselves while we had the patience Indulging lust that fed our first connection But shallow romance didn’t bring degradation. There were holes in our chest we were filling As jagged pieces that were slowly killing us But we got lost in those moments just looking for something to hold on to Staying up all night telling our stories but we weren’t listening Baring our wounds but never curing Till nothing's left, but we kept going I need a stiff drink to keep from showing We keep this storm behind closed doors You dragged my name right through the mud Well, that's lights out i'm giving up I guess enough is enough You're a fading memory with no luck Late drives and early morning evenings Looking back on all that I believed in Tear down my educated structures Leaving bits of myself in ex-lovers There's a hole in my chest that I've been filling With drinks and habits that are slowly killing me I'm not present in this moment I'm just looking for something to hold on to Staying up all night making excuses I can’t save this Bleeding from my mouth from all the prodding There's nothing left but you can take it I need a stiff drink to stop the shaking So go on, walk out of that door You dragged my name right thru the mud Well That's lights out i'm giving up I guess enough is enough You're a fading memory with no luck You swear you’re changing No, your not changing at all I swear I’m changing No, I’m not changing at all We Swear we’re changing No, we're not changing at all If your changing it’s wrong Cause everything that we built Was sincere meant to spill And I know how you hate this disaster

Simplicity 04:37
Blank walls they start closing in The water strikes, hits my face like a javelin Numb confused I turned to rage I Learned to smile through the pain when they’d say your name And I keep wondering if I'm the same as then Pictures framed of adolescence Stripped away the feeling of my innocence On this stone I lay my condolences Now nothing feels the same I’m shaking from the change And nothing feels ok. And I've been waiting for your call all night Tell me that everything's alright We'll make plans to hit a show talking shit while 40’s flow But you're not here anymore Still I’ve been waiting for your call all night hoping it's lie and you're alright I guess our plans don't always hold, I still make them hope you know But you don't call anymore Sometimes it fills me with shame When I collapse to life's weight knowing you'd never cave Promises tomorrow's bring Now they're all damned, broken, but left me with words to sing Still got our records and some fading photographs I’d trade them all so I could have you back Bring back the days we felt we were invincible I try like hell but I can’t seem to smile like you Now nothing feels the same I’m shaking from the change And nothing feels ok. And I've been waiting for your call all night Tell me that everything's alright We'll make plans to hit a show talking shit while 40’s flow But you're not here anymore Still I’ve been waiting for your call all night hoping it's lie and you're alright I guess our plans don't always hold, I still make them hope you know But you don't call anymore Now nothing feels the same I’m shaking from the change And nothing feels ok. Cause you don’t call anymore.

Get Nasty 02:01
So turn me Against me Framed my skin as profane I Inhaled the shame Pervert me To perceive Our best nature as sinful My lovers all whores Youthful grins, this can’t be sin, it's just the brushing of our skin We both desire to be admired and breath each other in It took an age of awkward shame to learn to let the love in But how many did we leave behind lost in their confusion? But it's not deserved Our hearts turned to our curse And were left desires we’re taught to abhor Espousing repression when we need respect more No, it's not deserved Our hearts turned to our curse And were left desires we’re taught to abhor Espousing repression when we need respect More And when we wake up, could we even love ourselves Escape the hate they sell and love ourselves

A vessel small, thirsts for cause, desperate to make sense of it all Call us pattern takers but rarely pattern breakers We outline, reify, models of the world in our mind Call us pattern makers but rarely pattern breakers Cause we try to deny the rocky foundation that makes up our lives Suspend doubt, we lash out and strengthen our zeal when we stamp out all who may try to undermine an order we know to be a divine design. A divine design. We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Give us certainty and leave our poor minds at ease And with time some may find secular methods for drawing the lines Call us pattern makers, still rarely pattern breakers The experts preach, masses receive, from coats whose evidence few can perceive Still just pattern takers, we’re all pattern takers Cause few can understand the complexity and nuance but they stand And cast doubt or lash out at primitive thoughts they must stamp out Destroy the lure of theistic lore from an order we know be a tested design and proven design. We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty, and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Give us certainty and leave our poor minds at ease So we pound our chest Swear that we know best From the text we’ve read we’ve got it figured out But take a look around How should we feel now When we preach like them and we hate like them We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Yeah, leave our poor minds at ease

I’m staring deep into my eyes I’m Feeling dazed and invincible Like nothing could touch me Smug, content, yea, delusional Maybe I shouldn't think that way And maybe you shouldn't either Should I go back to my pathway Let despair sink in deeper So face the fact that someday you’ll be dead and gone Lost in a sea of energy floating through space and time It's not that bad you know, when you live your life like it's one big show Sit back and bask in glow of this florescent hole Put my hands in my pockets Contemplate how I got here A Couple drinks put me at ease A Couple more put me on my knees The white glow of this bathroom Is making me feel so heavenly I think that I could stay right here Give them a wink when the come find me So face the fact that someday you’ll be dead and gone Lost in a sea of energy floating through space and time It's not that bad you know when you live your life like it's one big show Sit back and bask in the glow Of this florescent hole If it’s a lie, go on and lie to me I feel alive I’m feeling good tonight We’re already living in hell So whats the problem with another drink? I made room, left my lunch in the sink and I leave it to the others to cry Cause this place was fucked long before we joined the ride and yeah we sing about the bummer days but I’m trying to live my life in a better way So go ahead and waste your days with frowns Me, I’m buying my friends another round
