Skyscraper 03:40
I saw red when you saw black red paint on you but your cigarette it was unlit You came back under the sidewalk any time my head speaks it really swells because I'm it I saw red when you saw black red paint on you but your cigarette it was unlit

mister, will you go leave this place I want to go home 'cuz I've been knockin' brace yourself, translating low 'cuz I won't make it I won't make it alone (x4) lose yourself, the body sends the body's reaction to gold LSD, the estuary everything's the painting I own 'cuz I won't make it I won't make it alone (x4) release yourself the body blends everything is borrowed to shit define a boy, define a girl the weak should be mended 'cuz when I found out when the end of the rope kicks out when you swing, the moment you crash the release from the earth gives you the breath you need

when I get closer, closer to the gun when I get closer, I sing this song you are cool like a landmine in the dark and when I scream for shelter you warm up don't sweat it, don't break down, you'll always be the same to an army of beloved grasses on the plain when I get helpless, help doesn't come when I get helpless, I sing this song you, stay cool you're a stranger in the dark and when I scream for shelter you call back don't sweat it, don't break down, you'll be home once again to an army of beloved faces that'll see you again get on, get right the stars, are bright (x4) when I get closer, closer to the gun when I get closer, I sing this song when I get helpless, help doesn't come when I get helpless, I sing this song -oh!-

I won't try but I won't hide, I say hey dear don't you fear, I say I, I'm alive Oh, it's not my time she went home to another second of her life she went to church she could not get forgiven I, I'm alive Oh, it's not my time

Salvia Mike 02:41
high on waste, high on waste my own way to cross my head you know, that I know it's all I've become high on waste, high on waste constant stains on my bed wear gold up to your arms 'cuz I won't I won't (x4) high on waste, high on waste I won't wait, cool your jets when I fall, you fall into your head high on waste, high on waste never shame what is dead save up life in your jar cuz I won't I won't (x9)

Shake 04:37
when I die, I'll wake again consider all sources then leave when I go blind, I'll lay in bed your memories are dimmer than black if faith could be used, who am I to choose Decembering another state to last depression excuse, for me to use your better days were bigger than the sun sweat out your systems, cover your hair let it curl, encompass the mass so tell her be cute, put her down too you'll never be what you were days ago fall on my knees shake and be blown apart

Winter 04:42
to find it is not to work I want you to know that it's your turn it must be a stranger, since you've been gone it must be a stranger, you're not strong you're not strong (x2) winter's gone away I want you to know that I won't stray I want you to notice, I've been gone I want you to know this, now you're strong now you're strong now you're strong (x2) winter's gone away (x2) and I'm free, yes I'm free (x2) winter's gone away (x2) you can shut it, count it, think for too long shut and count it, think what's wrong I see the weapon in me I see the weapon in me I see the weapon in me I see, now I CUT IT AND SHUT IT DOWN

Stay Asleep 05:34
I see nowhere to go, so I can't hide everything's made to go, written in the sky I see no paradigm that's written in the dust I see nowhere to run, smitten in disgust so I run I see nowhere to lay, so I can't rest everything's made to burn, it's written on your chest I live in sweet divine solace on the block I see nowhere to run, leave it up to God so I run (x3) so I run (x3)
