In between the times when things seem real and things are real You wake up so late And I’ve been up all morning doing my best to keep still The time it doesn’t take All too familiar Don’t you remember the indifference? I always thought We were escaping from it From a culture that’s come to hate us But all that running gets exhausting So come back and see me So easy, it’s like breathing Gotta get a job Gotta earn some money Gotta feed your apathy for money It’s always been the best way Around impenetrable gates And everything has And everything will change You had to save face And I was in a different place And the sun is priced so high these days Where did we stray? Where did we stray? Where did we stray? I always thought we would escape Where did we stray?

I’ve got a funny feeling That the difference you so enjoy seeing Between yourself and the world outside Is about as complex as the garment it’s marked by So let’s skip the introductions I’ve seen them all and I’m quite tired Nice to see you’ve found a team Now pay attention, the game’s always changing But no, no one wants to feel alone And the world’s a whole lot bigger Than your shitty school tax zone And so you’ll find what you thought that you’d despise A group that holds you in by shutting others out And comes conveniently disguised The judges they are judging Their platforms never meet So come and share a laugh with me At their mortality Everything we truly love will remain Regardless of some matching game And I’m so tired of feeling insincere in all I do To be sincere in all the ways I’d like to is still impossible Why do we activate these rooms? Are split second connections still the closest things? Five years from now, did the song still save you? But no, no one wants to feel alone And the world’s a whole lot bigger than where you’re deemed viable So stop pretending, pretending that you’re not Just another group of kids who feel slighted and confused about god The judges they are judging Their platforms never meet So come and share a laugh with me At their mortality Everything we truly love will remain Everything we love will remain I’ve always done this because it’s my escape From a world run like a contest A world with which I can’t relate I’ve always done this because this is my home Let’s not turn this into a contest of its own

Storyteller 01:35
The midnight drunks go walking Happy, looking sad, and talking destiny This is what the city pays for, I can see The neon lights resist the fight against separation anxiety This is what the city pays for, I can see The dream they sell I’m hooked; I’m overwhelmed again And I wish that I could say the days alleviate This artificial pain I never thought that I’d be feeling at this age But the drunks don’t go to sleep They linger just like you and me This is what the city pays for; what I need What’s happened to me? And then I have those dreams, too The ones where I’m running around like a fool To make things better for you Like the good storyteller You once knew me as Try to hold it in my head That no time has passed Since I stood in circles with automatic friends Not worried that the means justified the end ‘Cause life without love Keeps my eyes wide And my house stays clean When I don’t let people inside

Keyhole M.O. 02:33
You wait for another opportunity to speak He looks for another way to bank Same affirmation that you get Same way you treat everyone you used to know like shit High achieving like they all say that you are But you and I both know who sets that bar Don’t we We can’t see through the shrouds we don’t notice So replay the sequence We’re playing buzzword make-believe again Just to get ahead And we say pathological liar Like it’s something rare We tiptoe through the restaurants waiting on each other The only way to show we care And everything’s going according to an age-old master plan Tagalongs righting wrongs, we join indifferent hands And we say pathological liar like it’s something rare And you can paint over guilty but it’s starting to show And I want you to know And I want you to know And I want you to know That measuring stick broke a long time ago

Another Day 02:58
You’re just another billboard screaming at me as I pass by And what was the message you intended to leave behind? I don’t know and I don’t care You want to talk about being fair? Then please just have a seat over there And when I come back you can tell me who did what when and where Another day in attention seeking ways But I never thought that a secret was safe My feet on the floor and the door is home plate Your mouth is like a running faucet You’ve got the choice but you’ve got no will to stop it Everyone you know, we’ll all drown soon What were your intentions? What haven’t you mentioned? Where’s the line when it doesn’t take? You want to talk about being fake? Then come on and show me where this gave way Come on and show me where this gave way Come on, and still the line doesn’t take Come on, and still the line doesn’t take So come on and show me where this gave way And tell me how fake and real describe every decision we make Another day in attention seeking ways But I never thought that a secret was safe My feet on the floor and the door is home plate But I never thought that a secret was safe Cause there’s no lock and key to those teeth these days

Add it up and that’s everything you are Subtract the laughs and the meaningless parts So scared when I think of that afternoon air ‘Cause reminiscing like this is so rare I wonder just how many times I lied I’d like to know when I die Add it all up and tell me what you’ve found And above the place where the corpses dwell You’ll write your answer into the ground But no one gives a fuck about that smell That fills the air when you’re in hell No one even cares here if you couldn’t tell How do I make them stay? How do I make it okay? Write it down ‘cause when your heart bursts They’ll all float away Add it up and that’s everything you are Subtract the laughs and my favorite parts Is that all that’s left when life is gone?

Am I the only one awake? Am I the only one? You’re only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You’re only what you tell yourself you are Well hey there kid, try not to be so hard on yourself Did you know you can make your own hell? And you’re only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You’re only what you tell yourself you are The chatting from outside fades I guess that means that I’m the only one awake at this hour of the night Thinking about my own hostility, am I the only one with all of this Running through my head And the littlest things affect our lives In ways I can’t understand I wish that I did But I’m still eating every word I spoke when I was just a kid You’re only what you tell yourself you are And lying to yourself can only get you so far You’re only what you tell yourself you are

Make ends meet and we’ll see the bottom of your feet again Isn’t it nice to be able to tune right out? Just close the screen The tiny things that separate us The locks on our doors The dissonance instilled in refrains you’ve never heard correct before Inspiration comes in many forms Including fraud Including yours Make ends meet and we’ll see the bottom of your feet again And no, it’s nothing personal, but it never is Not how I thought I’d learn to live The tiny things that separate us The locks on doors The dissonance instilled in refrains you’ve never heard correct before Inspiration comes in many forms Including fraud Including yours And all the smarter kids Went off to be emotional extortionists And what am I left with? Where am I now? The tiny things that separate us The locks on our doors The tiny things that separate us I’m tuning out

I am the issues that you cling to Those very clouds floating by I am the way you misunderstand I am the fall guy No lens can see my face the way I see it now And I have lived to tell the story about how I Refused to survive Seeing the sights I understand what needs to happen I understand When all the days go by like a boring song Forgettable, forgettable When all the days go by like a boring song Forgettable, forgettable I understand what needs to happen I understand So rename your god and say that he’s dead (I understand what needs to happen) And you’ll be paid in recycled cadences No lens can see my face the way I see it now And I have lived to tell the story you have heard so many times I am the way that you misunderstand At least I can say I tried When all the days go by like a boring song Forgettable, forgettable When all the days go by like a boring song Forgettable, forgettable

Oncoming traffic drowned the sound out From my apologetic tone and left you staring at me From across the road I thought we both had crossed Another case of absent-mindedness on someone’s part Another failed connection I’ve never felt the burn of so many eyes, so non-existent, non-existent You leave me, a perfect evening, things just change like altitude I go from savage disregard to worrying if I’ve been rude So can you meet me in the middle? Can you meet me in the fucking middle? I sway so often side to side Back and forth past the middle I can’t find I always try To be the wolf who doesn’t bite To stop hating what I love in all your sides Oncoming traffic-severed evenings And I’ve never felt the burn of so many non-existent eyes I’ve never felt the burn of so many non-existent eyes No one’s on first and as the lights they go down But can you meet me in the in-between? No one’s on first and the lights are going down Can you meet me in the in-between? No one’s on first and the lights are going down Can you meet me in the in-between? No one’s on first and the lights are going down Can you meet me, can you? So can you meet me in the middle? Can you meet me in the in-between? Pick one of the countless sides I’ve seen Just promise me you’ll stop changing And I’ll condition all my sides And I’ll go right on swaying Lights go down

Familiar childhood dreams They ended when I found out about new advancements We can take advantage of to stay productive While we keep the horror of what we are away Call it fate or whatever word makes you feel best about yourself But when it comes down to it we’ve turned against ourselves So tell me that I don’t understand free will to prove determinism Well you’re right, because I fucking don’t You can rave about the science of our kind Its enemy lives inside your mind Don’t have a comfort zone, get one sent right to your home Tell yourself its okay But I hear you talking in your sleep Keep talking in your sleep Keep talking in your sleep Familiar childhood dreams, they ended for me Familiar childhood dreams, they ended for me Familiar childhood dreams, they ended for me I hear you talking in your sleep, I hear you talking in your sleep Familiar childhood dreams, they ended for me I hear you talking in your sleep, I hear you I hear you talking in your sleep, I hear you, I hear you
