Box 02:53
Steady shaking waiting for the pain to pass Don't tell me you understand These dark corners seem to swell around me These walls are caving in Watch as they fall Watch as they crumble down Watch as they run Run from the smoke Run away now Take take oh take the pain Bury it down or keep it close Feeling like I'm feeling now 'Cause I don't think I feel at all And tired of playing the game Cat's eye stand still Can't breathe won't breathe I don't want to fill the line Run away now You don't understand That I don't want to be like them Sell my soul to their plastic chairs No Run away now I don't want to be like them No I don't want to be like them I don't want to be like them Oh no no no No I don't want to be like them Oh no no no Run away now

Just stop and tell me who we are again These lies have grown so natural Oh look me in the eyes and say it again Reached too far now inches are miles on the way down Oh reach out but you're already falling down I warned you but you never listen And I tried so hard to help you escape this fate Now your wings are all burned out and the bones just weigh you down Oh reach out yeah reach out oh reach And this time I won't take the blame It's not my fault it's not my shame I'll shed this life I'll break these lines I told you once I told you twice Running out of patience chasing you around again Bending at the heart and head I don't think I'll sleep again So tell me was it worth it For the high that you received Scared of these monsters only you perceive Cold calm and callous You're broken through and through So tell me what to do Oh reach out but you're already falling down Oh reach out but I can't save you now Oh reach out I tried oh I tried so hard Reach out oh reach I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it I didn't want to say that I was right

Every time I look away Something seems to slip away Building stars overnight Never know what to say Feeling indifferent Conditioned states of everything Tell me how to move Tell me how to move Guess I don't get it Guess I never will Waiting for something to make this breath count Filling up my head These thoughts are suffocating No time to keep on keep on debating and Feeling like I'm feeling 'Cause I don't know how To let it out to let it out Feeling like I'm feeling 'Cause I don't know how To let it out to let it out Fear gripped tight And you won't let go No you don't let go Oh you can't let go Talk about leaving But you never take a step You never move an inch You never move an inch Confined to this room That you trapped yourself in You trapped yourself in You trapped yourself in Feeling like I'm feeling 'Cause I don't know how To let it out to let it out Feeling like I'm feeling 'Cause I don't know how To let it out to let it out To let it out We weren't born to disappear no We weren't born to be brought down We weren't born to follow their lead We're the ones you need We weren't born to disappear no We weren't born to be brought down We weren't born to follow their lead We're the ones you need Feeling like I'm feeling 'cause I don't know how

Every time I'm dying to get out You come to me with those sad eyes and say darling don't you leave Yeah I'm right here Oh I'm right here Every time I see myself I think that I don't think enough Thinking to myself I can't see at all Ghosts haunting memories of the people that we used to be Look up to the skies they're all falling down And every time I'm dying to get out You come to me with those sad eyes and say darling don't you leave Yeah I'm right here Oh I'm right here Lies in sight you feel rejected A perfect example of misdirection Stand up on your own values Broken backs and dreamless fields Watch them all just fade away Sink back to your corner and regain some strength And every time I'm dying to get out You come to me with those sad eyes and say darling don't you leave Yeah I'm right here Oh I'm right here And every time I'm dying to get out You come to me with those sad eyes and say darling don't you leave 'Cause every time I'm dying to get out You come to me with those sad eyes and say darling don't you leave 'Cause every time I'm dying to get out

Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Holding their lights and hiding their eyes You're wasting all your time You don't even know what's going on You don't even know what's going on Look me in the eyes and tell me when this happened Are we so lonely we can't stand to be alone I want to see the stars but I don't want to see them here I want to live my life but I don't want to live it here We breathe in nothing We breathe in nothing You can see me but you don't really see me at all Looking so lonely sitting there on your own I want to see the stars but I don't want to see them here I want to live my life but I don't want to live it here We breathe in nothing We breathe in nothing Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become So I gotta ask what's my purpose Do what I'm told I'm quite uncertain The lives that they hold just make me nervous And I really wanna talk but they say they never heard us Am I talking or am I speaking I wanna do something that has a little meaning But I'm caught up in a world that's got me screaming I try to calm down and I'm breathing and I'm breathing but I've been consumed living my life by the rules Wasting my time with the views running my mouth for a truce A product of the times but a victim of abuse So post that gram yeah shoot that snap Feed of the likes right just like scraps Don't get too mad when your legs collapse You did it to yourself and you'll relapse Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Holding their lights and hiding their eyes You're wasting all your time You don't even know what's going on I want to see the stars but I don't want to see them here You don't even know what's going on I want to live my life but I don't want to live it here Closed my eyes thinking I wouldn't see The monsters you've become Holding their lights and hiding their eyes You're wasting all your time You don't even know what's going on You don't even know what's going on

Sleeper 04:36
Many long months Turn into longer years A frictionless failing Nothing slowing you down You You really shot me down You really shot me down Oh you did didn't you You You felt so good You felt so good But you never came down I tried So God damned hard To keep it together now But it only pushed us apart And now I'm So fucking scared That you're gone and I'm gone and everything is wrong You, all you've really got is you All you really got is you And darling you don't even know You break me in two There's no time no time no time to explain All these feelings you've sent my way There's no time no time no time to escape All these thoughts you've trapped inside my brain You, all you've really got is you All you really got is you All you really got is you And darling you don't even know You break me in two

UFO 03:45
Slow is the way it burns in my mind These empty walls called home Finally made it back Familiar faces all faded Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Flip books of faces dancing in front of me But I can't seem to see what I missed And you call my name But it sounds so strange And I feel just like an alien I feel just like an alien Oh I feel just like an alien And I feel just like an alien But there's no way back home Oh seventy hours to escape this pain Of not knowing where I belong And you call my name But it sounds so strange And I feel just like an alien And I feel just like an alien And I feel just like an alien I feel just like an alien
