As It Is 02:07
I just miss your voice Said all the men and boys I just miss your lack of good, good, good choice I just miss your words I dismiss the world I just miss the way that you perceive the world As it is we can only see what we choose As it is we can only see the truth We used to sit and play All day every day And think of millions of different ways To get out of that place One was hop a train But now looking back it seemed so great We used to dream all day And think of words to say Against those people who just wanted us to change Oh what a glorious Never boring trip To bad I never learned to not bite my lip
2.
Last night I had my first nightmare in years I bumped into someone then he grabbed my ears He ripped them off and then I couldn't hear That's when I realized that that's my biggest fear I broke my friends glasses and then I couldn't see But he wasn't mad cuz he didn't like the look of me So I gauged my eyes out in my dreams Cuz his opinions were ones which I agreed
3.
Not Anyone 01:50
We built a boat It's kept us afloat for a year Now we just talk about how we'll disappear We built every inch with our hands Now we just talk about how our works gotten bland But maybe we will rise You know we've got a knack for broken expeditions And it's so rare for me to get infatuations With god You know you're not god, right? You don't get excited at the sight of you're own blood
4.
You're not a king You can't lead You're not anything that you set out to be You're just a fool with a copied goal and a recycled soul You're not a visionary or an entrepreneur What you get just makes you want more You're just a bad ego with a copied goal and a recycled soul Don't wake me up Don't wake me up today, tomorrow or the next day I'm not ready yet Don't wake me up for the next 365 days It's not a good year let me stay in bed Please don't wake up
5.
Gas Masked 02:24
I'm just a flabbergasted internally gas masked man With a flask buried beneath his soft laugh Never had a goal that ever lasted or past The fast communication to another human
6.
Imitation 01:39
7.
It's Over 02:04
Now I think it's over Now I think I've made the wrong decision I used to be so confident that everything had happened for a reason Now I rethink everything ever decision every choice I make It's so meaningless. The way we think It's so meaningless. "I could've done it better" the things I'll always say every tomorrow What a fractured human, what an everlasting sense of evil Nobody doesn't have a heart in them but not everything can stay full forever You could always have a fast pace but how many people would you leave behind Oh what a cloudy mind
8.
Hungry 03:05
A power hungry artist with a lack of communication skills They said you've got a character defect and it's gotta be killed It's a problem you're on this world as you're meant to be because you're looking for a thrill And the only solution that they can think of is to take a couple pills Or else it's all downhill We're not the same as we were before but I guess we've been looking for a change And I think we'll be looking still until our souls start to float away Perpetually lost until we're content feeling lost always But at least we haven't lost our independence or our ways If we did who would we blame? A vague anger at the world that turns into a collection of sounds Made by someone who unlike that product won't always be around He says he knows what he wants to be said that's why he's so loud But everyone around him notices that when you look up there's a cloud So they don't want him around
9.
Time at Home 01:49
An introspective mind with just resentments to be filled A lack of praise for a one team job that just one person built You toss and turn and sleep on floor until you're whole body's sore You rub yourself with dirt, clean yourself then rub on some more You wonder why you hated time at home when that meant time alone You pick the hair above you're eyes thinking about the life you chose A minimalist with hoarded thoughts that just won't go away And closed eyes at a book that says to meditate eight minutes a day You crave boredom you crave chaos you crave a constant train of thought Your cravings consist of nothing but a life that you haven't got so why should I repeat myself I've said this all before Why should I repeat myself I've said this all before
10.
You didn't load the gun but you're shooting it at everyone The page was blank and white but now it's covered in blood You didn't use your voice Oh what an awful choice I once played a violent video game I killed everyone that I knew the next day
