It's A Trap
03:01
|
|||
it’s a trap! if you scream out loud they'll find you first (rolling dice,
they’re rolling high into paradise) / but they’re not gonna hear one word
(stand in line, VIP access denied) / every line has been rehearsed / oh oh oh /
they’ll be your hell or be your church / but they’re gonna wrap it up so nice
that you can’t stay away / and the insecure will get hit worse (told you once
and I’m not gonna tell you twice) / make tolerance into a curse (slamming doors
and crushing dreams, baby, tonight) / and every choice now feels coerced / oh
oh oh / you tell the truth, they’re gonna make you hurt / but they’re gonna
wrap it up so tight that you can’t get away / buy in into the night / buy me in
to the night / they’re going to lure you / they’re going to assure you /
they’re going to hold you tight / they’re gonna lure you / they’re gonna burn
you / they’re gonna hold you tight / hold you violently through the night / and
now you can’t get away /

A Shame
02:36
|
|||
i walk one step at a time, man / you make zigzags and call it a
line / you count to ten but you never hold your breath / if you decide if i
fall or fly then i decline / it’s a shame / it’s a shame / everyone’s fucking
insane / so i’ll defy what you decide / it’s a matter of time / but you don’t
matter this time / maybe we need something that matters this time / tell me
what are we waiting for / just waiting in line? / if you got something to sell
me you’re just wasting my time / we can’t unknown what we now know / don’t want
to see another closing door / i wanna see better than the ones before / maybe
you don’t wanna see all / me and you, yeah we refuse / can’t tell me how to be
or what to think or what to do / me and you, yeah we see through / i’ll tell
you what i see - not what you did - it’s what you didn’t do / so we walk one
step at a time, yeah / the highest tightrope, far from the ground / why’d you
dream it up and not leave a net? / don’t want to see another closing door / i
wanna see better than the ones before / maybe you don’t wanna see all / me and
you, yeah we refuse / can’t tell how to be or what to think or what to do / me
and you, yeah we see through / i’ll tell you what i see - not what you did -
it’s what you didn’t do / maybe we need something that matters this time / tell
me what are we waiting for / just waiting in line? / if you got something to
sell me you’re just wasting my time / we can’t unknown what we now know /

Stay High
03:27
|
|||
the cost of what it’s to be free / an invoice to compensate me /
profound, it brought me to my knees / i’m falling to my knees / hello - do we
need to / a low high - do this dance / aloha- around this / hello - it’s a deep
dive / you got your guard up defending clever ways to complicate things / but
it comes down to sink or swim / and what’s your part in this? / below- finding
peace? / a low high - is this your scene? / aloha - i dive deep / hello hi -
can you still hear me? / as it comes crashing down / it’s coming down and i
need you to move / will you still be around? / a little push might help you
figure out how to stay high / please don’t go low / show me you can / you told
me you don’t want to breath and rather suffocate in your fears / it’s a
s.t.u.p.i.d idea / we will not settle here / how low, huh? in the deep / how
low, huh? I’ll wait here / aloha - but please try / a low high, hell no / as it
comes crashing down / it’s coming down and i need you to move / will you still
be around? / a little push might help you figure out how / stay high / please
don’t go low / show me you can / you feel the wave hit / you find it hard to
breath / but you’re fighting the will to be / as it comes crashing down / it’s
coming down and i need you to move / will you still be around? / a little push
might help you figure out how to stay high / please don’t go low / show me you
can /

come on, don’t lie to me, it’s obvious / you wanna tell me
what it’s all about ? / make some noise / make some noise / but please don’t
tell me that i’m the only one who is suffocating in this crowd / you’ve been so
damn hard to reach / you’ve worn the heart off my sleeve / the distance, far /
but please watch your step, you’re standing too close to me / you never call me
on the telephone (telephone) / i only hear about you when shit’s been going
wrong / did you drop the call? / i don’t recall asking for your opinion / but
i’m sure it’ll make its way around / you’ve been so damn hard to reach / my
god, it’s so hard to breath / i miss you so but please watch your step, you’re
standing too close to me / can you tell me some good news? / oh oh oh / a
divided wall I can’t break through / oh oh oh / why'd you gone missing? / Why’d
you go missing? / Why’d you go missing? / oh oh oh / you’re everything I
thought I knew / when all is said and done, I’ll run with you / ~ / can you
tell me some good news? / oh oh oh / a divided wall I can’t break through / oh
oh oh / why’ve you gone missing? / Why’d you go missing? / Why’d you go
missing? / oh oh oh / i don’t know if i ever told you / if shit goes down I’ll
run with you / come back / come back / or is it too late? / i don’t know /
where’d you go? / i miss you so / still miss you so / if they come knocking
don’t answer the door / no vampires allowed in this home / can you not see that
at your door ? / can you not see them / oh no / do not answer / please watch
your step, you’re standing too close to me /

Magazines
03:01
|
|||
mayhem / uh-oh / when you see me let go / did i not move how you
think i should move? / that’s where we started from, my friend / bicycles and
cool lemonade / we try a different way, my divergence / my divergent / and turn
it upside down / it breaks your heart / it breaks my heart but i won’t hold you
close and make a scene like the pretty girls in the magazines / fate, if i
behave can i breathe grace? / or act like outlaws ? / my goodness- gone /
that’s where we started from again / a shiny gold to aluminum / i tried a
different way, my divergence / my divergent / and turn it upside down / it
breaks your heart / it breaks my heart to hear the sound of muted screams /
like empty rounds in a magazine /

Late To The Party
03:48
|
|||
cannot deny that many adore you / and blind cannot see /
their sight could destroy you / how many others need to invite you? / it fell
on dense ears, the sound of a warning / i’ve been feeling awful / you spread
the awful to the masses / it happened so fast the ceiling was glass, turned
into steel and now we are all trapped / you’re late to the party / you’re late
to the party / cannot deny that many adore you / if blind could now see, their
sight could destroy you / how many others need to invite you? / it fed on the
fears / we sounded a warning / you’re late to the party / step of or step to it
/ and the world keeps going ‘round / one step in front of you / either way
we’re both falling face down / relentlessly silencing the girl / ‘cause her
words will burn -so loud- us down / it happened so fast / the ceiling was glass
/ turned into steel and now we are all trapped / you’re late to the party /
you’re late to the party / drink this pain like champagne / step off or step to
it / and the world keeps going ‘round / one step in front of you / either way
we’re both falling face down / relentlessly silencing the girl / ‘cause her
words will burn -so loud- us down / cannot deny that many adore you / an
invitation you didn’t respond to / along with the keys to free us from this
room / please don’t you dare say i didn’t warn you /

Better Now
01:29
|
|||
you better now? / i’m better now / we better now? / so much
better now / i don’t want to be here / looking at you / i want to be here anew
looking at me / i want to be here for you / the signal’s stuck on yellow / i
knew the red was coming / saw it as a green light and flew right through the
mourning / but now that we can breath free my feet can finally feel the ground
/ but you still have it neat on a monday / and before church every sunday / you
like it anyway you get it down / you better now? you better now? / I’m better
now / we better now? / so much better now / i don’t want to be here / looking
at you / i want to be here anew looking at me / i want to be here for you /
