The Mirror 02:27
What a way to say fuck off Through your teeth pressed floral poison wreath conducting all the shots I can’t think about you trailing off some long highway proud and angry, heart asleep who you’d shown to me You haunt yourself no other in its place No one else got so tired of that face You want to see ego? We know who you are now afraid of your beloved reflection what it may learn you Despite the deficit you still project human sentiment, smile and nod Validate the pathos, validate the need A fraud is a fraud is a fraud You haunt yourself no other in its place No one else got so tired of that face You want to see ego? I’ve held it up enough I’ve held it up enough

Half-Life 02:38
Waking up in daylight I had never felt sad The shit I traded in for calm still out of sight and in the early morning someone brings you to the train the last face to say goodbye is some odd stranger in the rain you are terrified but never complain I have lived more lives than you Waking up in moonlight I had never felt that the thoughts I traded in for calm still out of mind and in the early morning someone brings you to the train you are terrified but you don't complain I have lived more lives than you Heard your secrets but I never made a sound You ask for all of me but still you sleep on the ground You've lost more since we last spoke than I ever have found

Accessory 03:43
Can't find the address I need a better star I'm coming up in a fever with shells dragging behind in the bones of my old car To you this must sound ancient But back then I could fight This is an education so I hope you've planned to stay half the night 
I used to come here by myself Will you be my accessory I used to come here by myself Will you sit back and fall asleep I used to come here all alone Go memorize my memories I used to come here all alone Bury yourself next to me 
That one, he is a cancer And this one, she is a flame That beacon was just a lighthouse Nothing more cause you saw it in a dream 
I used to come here by myself Will you be my accessory I used to come here by myself Will you sit back and fall asleep I used to come here all alone Go memorize my memories I used to come here all alone Bury yourself next to me I'm still a lonely hunter The waves have all gone white You left out all the good stuff from things we said that night Don't do well with chaos but not too good with plans I've hidden it here, for you or someone else to find when all the debris lands

Waning interest, won second best Caught shit for digging up pavement What’s it to them, it’s all low-key bets Go make the sound you hear in your head Even if it gets you on the ground Sign said “if you want, you’ll do it now” On Saturday the roads looked safe The pitch was dry along the way What’s it to them, they all second guess Go make the sound you hear in your head Even if they put you in the ground She said “if you really want you’ll do it now” I'm tired and I want to take up space I'm tired and I want to take up space In the order of things, where is my place In the order of things, where is my Waning interest, won second best Caught shit for digging up pavement What’s it to them, it’s all low-key bets Go make the sound you hear in your head I'm tired and I want to take up space I'm tired and I want to take up space In the order of things, where is my place In the order of things, where is my

We gave her the room the rest of us stood up on the roof and looked up at the moon Be grateful, be careful, the things that you say end up speaking for you We all know you’re going away Give us a choice, or give us a name Dangerous for you outside Run on home to the south side We've been on you for some time when you look back don’t expect to see us there Atomic played through the walls stuck in sheets the pages of history will all forget the times we couldn’t sleep the spaces in between I feel next to me We all know you’re going away Give us a choice, or give us a name Dangerous for you outside Run on home to the south side We've been on you for some time when you look back don’t expect to see us there

Beacon 03:30
What does it mean to light a beacon when there aren't any boats in sight to read the words but miss the reason do you carry all that heavy light that light Are you the only one without them? Are you the only one in disguise? Are you the only one left now? Are you the only one left now? Flotsam in the shallow water can you walk yourself home at night or do you even still bother looking out for all those ships at night Are you the only one without them? Are you the only one in disguise? Are you the only one left now? Are you the only one left now? Today was different ‘cause I made it so Today was okay because I left it alone Today was different ‘cause I made it so Today was okay because I left it alone Are you the only one left now Am I the only one left now? I am the only one left now I am the only one

Over and Out 02:59
Family can haunt you Even when they’ve gone to sleep There are many people here that you’d love not to see Warm sun piles up in corners of the shade After the storm came and settled on the holiday Is it temporary now? Is it over and out? Now that it got you out It's hard to pin it down Now that it got you out I put you underground Can you elect a noble pride Can you account for me? All the scavengers we sent out on that empty sea Now we count our fortunes underneath a cedar tree I don’t miss the medicine quite like it misses me Is it temporary now? Is it over and out? I got you back and I put you under glass But the road has started to pass and the days are going too fast and the brakes they won’t give out and you feel like someone now said it all out loud “over and out” I have met you on all corners of this map we drew I am here because you called me up

Handsome friends I got a few I stayed up late without sight of you Long distance love came through the stars I will admit, it gets hard it gets hard, it gets hard Away now go away now Away now go away now Dig out, we’re almost free now you’re gonna keep out the motion just can’t be fixed on the last leg of the trip, it's alright Do you believe me now Do you believe me now Do you believe me now Do you believe me now it’s gone

Summer said I’m half awake and I can’t concentrate on you Summer said I’m half awake and I can’t concentrate on you Never would have known Interstate ten miles away pick her up at the gate can you Summer said I’m half awake and I can’t understate the news and I cannot go out alone Never would have known Like any situation it’s hard to say, who knows you’re late, but I can wait and bust up your vacation the coals went dead but I can wait got my way for once and I never would have known
10.
It’s called agency Write it on your arm fed up with the wait and see tripped silent alarm There is a place I know a few hours north right off the interstate when it’s time, we’ll meet there But I’ve got a few years left misunderstanding sentiment of being younger than you thought of shaping up to shake the rot You’d think that one little slip would take you to someone else’s dream the way you remember his voice and the words that invented the scene Some out of context universe I never see you but I know it hurts out of context, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
