Well Spent 03:57
We used to be flammable Sparks would fly and we'd ignite Now we're so mechanical I don't wanna waste my time with you I don't wanna cling to the things we clung to I don't wanna waste my time with you And I don't know what to say I think it's time we went our separate ways So let me down easy I'm locked in these sheets These hallways are scaring me I don't have the strength To say what I want to say I can't come home anymore Breaking down at 3 pm On a busy train it's a quiet spin Trembling I clutch my keys 2 missed calls an angry text Passive aggression and hate well spent This god damn shirt it smells like sex But this town is a burden It isn't my fault That all my accomplishments start to feel small As I break and I bend This night doesn't end When will it?

Framework 03:26
I left home Without a purpose You caught me Inside my head Redirect me Reflect my surface Now all my time's Spent inside my bed But still I choke up Guess I'm not ready to go Something tells me I can't live on my own These walls are broken bleeding Battered but my heart is beating still My framework's made of steel And when the time comes that My lungs give out and fall to the ground You'll be there for me still My framework's made of steel I'm limping Across this hallway Stuck inside My own advice I told myself It would be easy But changing Is its own vice

Marrow 04:14
I drew a line and you moved it Took my point and you proved it Grabbed my heart and removed it Now I feel like I ain't shit Sick of grasping at muses Sifting through all my music Cataloging my bruises Fuck I feel like I'm useless And I wish I didn't think of you Every time it rained And it's hard To try and think about The time that slipped away I try to feel like I'm worth something But your face comes back around And makes me feel like I'm worth nothing Besides bones to feed the ground You cast your net and I bit it Sunk my teeth in and slid into Days of hot blood reactions Cracked my skull into fractions I'm twisting and turning My insides are burning I'm stuck shades of blue Always thinking of you And it's Time to make sure That all of my fights Are worth fighting for And it's Time to make sure That all of my ships Have left the shore by now It seems That all my life I've been second best Always second guessing my self So break me down I will stand tall I will not bend I will not fall Color me in Try not to miss me when I'm gone (I hope you miss me when I'm gone) So listen close As we lay here I'll pump the truth Into your ears Time to let go Time to accept the story's close Time to stop living as a ghost And move on

Unpacking 05:13
I thought I knew you I just knew the things you gave me Like regret, a penchant for depression A broken picture frame But alas I stopped and stared Inside a box of memorabilia So symbolic of our nature I just stopped and sighed your name A box of broken things I watched us become Lungs and limbs and bandages we succumbed To the ever present thought that we were nothing but unluck And lady fortune tightened up And I don't wanna say goodbye yet There's twenty things we haven't done yet I could place you on a string And trace you down my broken seems Cuz I don't wanna say goodbye yet Count to ten and we will meet again you said Now I'm all out of fingers and toes And breath Take a shot and drunk remind me how we met So I know that I lay in your heart and not just your head You're never here neither there I'm wasting time on you You're not coming back It was the summer of laughs Although I knew it would pass Our promises turned to glass And like ice they shattered and passed away A thunderstorm on the beach Lightning showers to keep Framed beside my bed I don't get much sleep anymore Since you left

Oceans 03:38
I will break off all my limbs If it means a freedom from existence If it means the cold won't feel so fucking cold If it means I'll never have to be alone I will shut you out so quick If it means I'll never have to open up If I sense you prying in I'll hole on up My heart will hibernate and give you up Spectral signals come between Tugging lines of symmetry Pulling softly as we go Separating at the seams Oceans rise and fall between We were never meant to be We will break free We will know everything We will know everything To know We will take heed We will fear everything But we will know everything We will know...
