If every little thing works out I bet I’ll be fine If no one changes my plan I bet I’ll be alright ‘Cause I’ve got no contingency plan Nothin in the works No fallbacks for fallouts I’ll be down in the dirt I guess that’s not the best way to live But I guess it’s the way that I live They say it takes two to tango Only one to rock the boat Are we dancing or sinking Somehow I never seem to know She said we can’t be sure Isn’t that so exciting I said heart attacks are plenty exciting too But I won’t be inviting them to the party Cause I guess that’s not the best way to live But I guess it’s the way I live I always seem to way this bulletproof vest Lock all my doors, act so stressed I guess the blues ain’t what they used to be Everybody here please look at me I never really seem to get old With my baby smooth skin and acting all cold I guess I should really learn from this I guess it’s not the best way to live I guess it’s the way that I live I should really learn from my shit But I guess this is the way that I live I guess it’s not the best way to live I guess it’s the way that I live

Cover me in colors til they soak through my bones There’s a wondersome amount of me yet to be known Fashionable infatuation keeps me by the phone They say it won’t feel right until my cover gets blown I want a Tuesday to feel good Without a couple beers, hallelujah I want a routine routinely enforced By none other than my great fears Pockets full of intuition say leave me alone Confidential confidant as true as rhinestones Too long in the tooth for you to atone Get yourself some green eyes to finally feel grown I want a Tuesday to feel good Without a couple beers, hallelujah I want a routine routinely enforced By none other than my great fears I want a Tuesday to feel alright I want a new year, I want a good night I want you to want to be fine because I need someone like that in my life I want new shoes for the end of world I want a city to myself for the end of the world… I want a Tuesday to feel alright I want a new year, I want a good night I want you to want to be fine because I need someone like that in my life…

Automated 03:17
Automated Every single way Every single day I pray for a new wave Something to roll me over Throw my face into the sand So I can start feelin again Tell me a lie Get me stupid high Push me around Make me breakdown Am I the way I am? Or am I still me? Automated Every single way Every single day I pray for a new wave Something to roll me over Throw my face into the sand So I can start feelin again Tell me a lie Get me stupid high Push me around Make me breakdown Am I the way I am? Or am I still me? Get me stupid high Get me stupid high Get me stupid high Get me stupid high

Capsize 03:27
i swear to god i’ll capsize this thing make another sound and i’ll let it sink don’t go thinking that i’m a better than that cause when I get hit i’m not afraid to hit back and i know that makes me a weak man believe me, this isn’t what i planned maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was maybe i do the things that the villain does maybe i need more time to adjust maybe it’s all a bust i’m sorry i rain checked two nights in a row; for all the missed calls and texts i’m the worst i know i feel like shit for this awful, vengeful streak i never really learned how to turn my cheek and i know that makes me a weak man believe me, this isn’t what i planned maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was maybe i do the things that the villain does maybe i need more time to adjust maybe it’s all a bust maybe all my good deeds are in self interest maybe i should’ve hit you up a bit more i always end up playing mind games to keep you needing me i’m keeping score maybe i’m not as good as i thought i was maybe i do the things that the villain does maybe i need more time to adjust maybe it’s all a bust maybe it’s all a bust

Get yourself some green eyes, explore what you need Tell me all of your impossibilities Ride the wave all the way up to New Hampshire See what happens when you come undone, don’t answer If it’s alright with you I think I’ll do Just about anything else If it’s alright with you I’ll see this through Might take some time for myself Get yourself a dream son, run it down Call it revelry when the phone rings and it’s not doubt It’ll all turn gold and green just Let me figure this out Syncopated sounds jubilee I can hear it now If it’s alright with me I think I’ll be Just about anyone else If it’s alright with me I’ll take the front seat Try to be alone with myself Gonna be who I want Gonna be who I want.. I’m gonna learn to be myself I’m gonna move anywhere I need to I’m gonna learn to be myself I’m gonna learn to be myself I’m gonna move anywhere I need to I’m gonna learn to be myself I’m gonna learn to be myself I’m gonna move anywhere I need to I’m gonna learn to be myself Gonna be who I want Gonna be who I want…

Swordfish 04:11
Ashes in my hair, I want to fall in I just need a pinch, Acetaminophen I spend my whole day in wait, of one or two big moments Offen it’s the rain, a sea to swallow in You’ll get yours, I’ll make do You’re a fucking swordfish, andI’m a lazy catcher You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher The water is deeper than it seems to be Blue eyes glass over and over and over You’re a fucking swordfish, I’m a lazy catcher Outside in the thick, it’s starting to move Past the point of meaning, with dissonance to prove Aging is the only way to calcify conclusion To be alone To watch it go I’ll get mine, you’ll get through You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher The water is deeper than it seems to be Blue eyes glass over and over and over You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher You’ll get yours, I’ll get home fine I’m the morning, I’ll be true I don’t want to build this thing up just to see it come down There are answers but they won’t keep me around I have nothing but a fear of death to shake A broken conscience, and a need to be awake You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher The water is deeper than it seems to be Blue eyes glassed over and over and over You’re a fucking swordfish, and I’m a lazy catcher Held in the undertow I begin to feel alone Swordfish, I cut to bone This is a part of letting go The water gets deeper and I’ve yet to see Blue eyes glass over and over and over Held in the undertow I will start to let it go

Call me drunk and hallelujah in the same breath Vowels moving over and over me I’m a mouth full of nouns and other swears Vowels moving over and over me I’ve gone and forgotten what you’re starting to say Vowels moving over and over me Vowels moving over and over me Why do you care if I forget my name It doesn’t mean anything anyway Tattoo your name on my phone Vowels moving over and over it Throw my name from your throat Add the vowels you think I need I’m so caught up in the words over my head I’m over it I’m over it I’m over it Why do you care if I forget my name It doesn’t mean anything anyway What’s he called she said Call me by my body What’s he called she said I don’t want a name What’s he called she said Call me by my body What’s he called she said I don’t want a name What’s he called she said Call me by my body What’s he called she said I don’t want a name

Tape Deck 02:36
We caught up at a stoplight ‘Cause we’re brittle in the sunlight I’m outweighed by my own body My mind is heavy thinking of yours This year is gonna carve me out A pastel yellow hole Try to fill it back in With chipped teeth still stained wine red My throat is like a tape deck Rewinding your name It sounds a little fucked up Cause it’s playing in reverse Skin tones in the lamplight Mixed up behind my eyes Spit love at me through chipped teeth Lie if you don’t mind My throat is like a tape deck Rewinding your name It sounds a little fucked up Cause it’s playing in reverse My throat is like a tape deck Rewinding your name It sounds a little fucked up Cause it’s playing in reverse
