Let's Break Something

Let’s break something
Let’s burn all our money
We’ll do it for the memory
and wake up with our heads spinning
Let’s break something
Let’s burn all our money
We’ll do it for the memory
and wake up with our heads spinning
And forget it all anyway
Let’s break something
I can’t keep caring
I’m sick of it all and I want
To feel the shards in my hands
I know there’s no reason
It’s just pure feeling
You want me to prove I’m angry
I’m happy to show you
I’ve got a feeling
The world is ending
But I’m so bored I could scream
Let’s break something
Let’s stop thinking
Let’s try to fill the space
Until the day comes seeping in
Let’s forget about being careful
Pretend we’re not fragile
Distract myself from the thoughts
Unraveling in my head
I’ve got a feeling
My world is empty
And there’s nothing more for me to see
Over and over and over again
Is this the start or the end
Over and over and over again
Pause, rewind, play repeat
Over and over and over again
I forgot the point of it
Over and over and over again
Pause, rewind, play, repeat
Let’s break something
Let’s burn all of our money
We’ll do it for the memory
and wake up with our heads spinning
I’ve got a feeling
It doesn’t matter anyway

Take Without Touching
02:42
|
|||
|
how do you take without touching
how doe you break without motion
what ever game you’re playing
i’m ashamed to say it’s working
eyes that follow me everywhere
through every crack in the wall
lies i believe late at night
cuz i tell them to myself
i’d give you everything
and remain a hollow shell
how do you take without touching
how doe you break without motion
how can you be so happy
when you’re such a terrible person
i wonder every day every hour every minute
what chance ,circumstance led me through your path
i’d give you everything if i could forget this mess
and i don’t give a damn about your good reputation
like you’re so obsessed with mine
and i don’t give a fuck about your high stakes mistakes
when i’m trying to sleep at night
how do you take without touching
how do you break without motion
what ever game you’re playing
i’m ashamed to say
i’m ashamed to say
i’m ashamed to say

Dark Times
03:09
|

|
these are dark times that we live in
all i see are the shadows that seep in
and now my pain is in season
leave me where they park the carnival rides
bite my lip and watch from the sidelines
i used to see the light
i used to get that high
same now as before
these are dark times that we live in
every day’s a shutting door
all i see is the shape of you leaving
i don’t care anymore
and i don’t see a reason
i have lost all the control
i thought that i had for a minute
looking at the way that my elbows bend
someday i’ll make a good skeleton
decay as i wait for life again
can’t get past if to when
throw me in the grave with all the time i’ve wasted
these are dark times that we live in

Pull Me Under
03:28
|
|||
|
seconds surround us just like air
you hardly notice you hardly care
i could never have too much
i’ll never know when i’ll run out
i’m not afraid of drowning
just of getting out
and i want you to pull me under
i want you to pull me under with you
i want you to pull me under
i want you to pull me under with you
you say the past doesn’t exist
so take your hands off the spinning disc
and put them on my skin
the hardest part isn’t drowning
it’s getting in
and i want you to pull me under with you
i want you to pull me under
i want you to pull me under with you
i want you to pull me under
minutes hours i count them up
fidget out of habit when i don’t get enough
hating every day that has to end
adding what i’ve done and who i’ve been
today i was nobody
today i did nothing
but pull against the leash of mortality
and time will pull us under someday
time will pull us under
time will pull us under someday
time will pull me under

Bad Habits
04:10
|
|||
|
i hope this ceiling fan doesn’t fall on me
i just wanted some new air to breathe
but there’s none here, oh well
i hope this silence doesn’t swallow me
i just wanted my own thoughts to think
but there’s nothing, oh no
my bad habits fade to radio static
slowly dying but i’m asymptomatic
oh well at least no one can tell
you’re so busy hate to be dramatic
chest tight runnin round in a panic
oh well the weather’s nice in hell
and i don’t know what i stay here for
an empty room with an open door
and you want to know why i just don’t leave
i wish i could follow you out
my legs are stuck and i’m afraid to even
think about how i really feel
my bad habits fade to radio static
slowly dying but i’m asymptomatic
oh well we all got problems you know
try to shout but it comes out so quiet
swallowed by the rush of traffic
again it never ends
and you’re so cruel it seems to come automatic
i don’t know if i can stand anymore
or what you’re doing it for
wanna stand in the street and yell goddammit
life hasn’t gone how i planned it so far
but here we are

Easy Doesn't
03:37
|
|||
|
you’re looking at me what do you see
you’re disappointed i should be easy
now you say i’m too difficult
i’m not the mouse you knew so well
well i’ve been spinning like your records
trying to find a new direction
i am neither the answer nor the seeker
but i am both the player and the speaker
well i’ve been biting my tongue
just trying to please everyone
and i’ve been biding my time
waiting for my first shot at life
you want to talk about second chances
you want to see about second glances
i’ve been wrong before but i won't be wrong again
must be nice to be right have the upper hand
yeah, it would be nice if i was easy to handle
well i’ve been just playing along
but life’s too short to feel this small
you know i’ve been afraid to say what’s on my mind
but life’s too long to always be hiding
and i’ve been picking up shards of my stupid little heart
to slip into my dumb little songs
you had me thinking in circles and feeling so worthless
but not anymore
and it wasn't easy….
but sometimes easy doesn’t do it
sometimes easy doesn’t
but sometimes easy doesn’t do it
sometimes easy doesn’t

Center Star
03:26
|
|||
|
where is your mind
you didn’t bring it along
drive see the bright lights flash
do you feel like a star
you don’t know what you want
you don’t know what you are
you’re ready to crash and
we brought the popcorn
and this is the end of your scene
and now we fade to black
but you’re still here
i thought we were getting high
but this is such a drag
scorched lips and fingertips you’re
burning it all down again
and in the dark of the hall
i can see you falling apart
and as the world turns
the screen behind your eyelids burns
and this is the end of your scene
and now we fade to black
in the center of your mind
there’s just another spotlight
a wound up tape spitting out lines
stumbling around in the dark
you don’t realize you’re the only one playing the part
you don’t realize you’re not the center of it all

Drop of Bleach
04:16
|
|||
|
try to ignore the sting of my eyes in the morning
you’re surprised cuz you never see me crying
a drop of bleach could clean my sink and my psyche
you’re surprised cuz you never see me dirty
it’s out of reach up there on the highest shelf
i can hear you laugh as i scramble on tiptoes trying to bring it down
a drop of bleach could clean the stains from my mind
leave the bottle and don’t act so surprised
i guess i never could say
just exactly what was on my mind
hide it away
close the drawer and leave it behind
and now we’ve made
a mess with no one left to clean it up
a drop of bleach
may not be enough
