knock 02:24
never know when they're gonna screw you in they'll tell you the joke once they know the punchline will sting just like a wasp's nest that you somehow miss too bad they're never gonna give you a chance drink it off and tell them that you tried to make sense and maybe live with it oh no i could tell you you could sing for forgiveness whoever thought you'd end up like them there was one place i belonged i reached real love when i found god but it was never set in stone too bad it's never gonna let you fall you brush it off and try to make sense of it all and maybe live with it oh no i can tell you should sing for forgiveness whoever thought we'd end up like this, no

you know you got a long gone way out some kind of well that'll never run dry someday it's gonna ruin your life if you just give it time i know you got a seven mile lookout some kind of place where you can never look back dressed black in a baseball cap when we made the pact there's something now i know that you never mastered and you're gonna find out (never find a reason to live) you're gonna find out (never find a reason to live) i know it's been a long time without a set of rules for us all abide one way to get it off your mind a slow suicide you know why it all went to hell empty bottles got paris on your mind we both know we're past our prime acquainted with the night there's something now i know that you never mastered and you're never gonna find out (never find a reason to live) you're gonna find out (never gonna see you again) i've seen it in your eyes you don't wanna die you don't wanna end up this way it come as no surprise you've been fucking up never had a choice either way

fold 03:31
last night i woke up on the floor you and me got death at our door signed your name in the yearbook symmetry, does it matter anymore tapered off and i don't know why you and me know it happens every time hard to say if i ever really tried you and me know it happens every time would it be a miracle by now? last night i took a few more you and me got nothing but a fold anesthetized running ice cold fuck it all, can't you give me something more full moon on a starlit night you and me this is how we're gonna die steer the truck counterclockwise you and me this is how we're gonna die it would be a miracle by now
5.
memory haze 02:15
it was a game till the time ran out memory haze in the bitter clouds but in my mind there's a better place but everything spins so far away cause everybody's got a trick for you play the game and don't make the rules but there's no way that'll you'll ever win they just wanna see you lose again every chance is another plane it's too late to ever be the same and i'm not sure if you ever did find a place to lay your head and every fortune must indicate memory haze in a darker place but nobody cares about it either way the look of terror on your face
6.
hunchback 02:49
either way i'm ashamed to know why growing older never taught you how to live so we'll all die young meet me in the middle i'll run this one by you never then had a place to call mine something sinister underneath your tongue so we'll all get stoned if i could shake the shivering i'd come out of the cold never thought that this would come to that but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back separate the fiction from the fact like a hunchback i'll come crawling back either way i'm a ways from you tonight ever after never happened after all so we'll all die alone separate from the sinners like seeds you'd never sew still the same, all the ways that i've been another city you can run away to hide until we all get along tethered to our secrets our pockets full of stones never thought that this would come to that but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back found yourself a way to dodge the draft but like a hunchback i'll come crawling back i'll come crawling back like a hunchback i'll come crawling back like a hunchback
7.
downhearted 02:43
back then stayed in every friday night pulled closed the shades and sewed them tight this rose tattoo will never glue just tell yourself it's coming soon this valentine under black light is nothing but an oversight "i've been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met" acquainted with death it worked back then you saved the best for last i guess this neighborhood never felt good it felt just like i felt it would this pantomime under black light is nothing but a waste of time "i've been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met ever since the day we met every since the day we met"
8.
always often 03:27
we could wait all night i could pull the weight figured out our hell we could raise the stakes you're never gonna pay them off so why don't you stay the timing's gonna throw you off you'll never be fine this way dream me alive bring me back to our last supper smoke inside always often always often we didn't know the score but i let them sing could have slowed it down but i let you wait you're never gonna pay them off so why don't you stay the timing's gonna throw you off you'll never be fine this way dream me alive bring me back to our last supper smoking inside always often always often

racecar 03:56
i believe there's a racecar for me running off of the speedway and onto the street one step closer to harmony curled up in the suitcase and thrown out to sea run the tape back and forwards and see it's the same if i'm gonna leave leave here tomorrow i hope it's okay tell if there's a reason you want me to stay and i'll drive this racecar to you i believe there's a black hole in me rolled out on the freeway got you down on your knees is there more of a future to see nothing more than a streetlamp shining down over me run the tape back and forwards you'll see its the same if i'm gonna leave leave here tomorrow i hope you're okay tell me if there's some reason you want me to stay and i'll drive this racecar back to you

and we’ll all get to sleep somehow i’ll be singing in a bottle by the time you get up alexandra was a gift from hell hollow-body synced up from the devil himself and i keep running to the corner store eleven dollars for the hours that were meant for us both i don’t make a lot of noise anymore four walls paper thin don’t disturb anyone uh huh i don’t know why they said it’d help still i did what i did cause i needed it now and i’ll admit that i wasn’t well little tricks for the boys just to ride the wave out and you never did use shampoo sought the kids who were cool just to show you the rules still i learned all of this from you i don’t know what i need anymore but the truth uh huh

glue 01:58

16.
bus stop 02:20
i got off at the wrong bus stop i got a ticket whether she likes it or not there's a fast car waiting in her driveway while he's playing songs that all just sound the same you got a doorway that i think that i could run through and there's a cooler in the freezer that i saved you you thought you saw me but i'm only on the wall in a picture because he knows it's all his fault and there's a bullet in the gun that you're hiding with your portraits and your diary and your writings i thought i knew you but i only saw myself in the mirror that was hanging in your cell cannot wake up but i still think that you're cool cause i know that you don't like to follow the rules and i didn't have luck with your present said the same since you were eleven i'm not trying to be twisted but i know that this thing is just not under my control i thought i knew it but i only had it best your little sister said she thinks she knows it best and i couldn't hitch a ride off my heart i mistreated cause i wasn't that smart and you were making funny faces at the trains and i was trying to catch a taxi in the rain

nightingale 04:00
ripped from the inside and out of your neck i was food for the night owl food for the nightingale here for the meantime just hours to spend i guess we're running out of time running out of all the nightmares you staved you scribbed them out pacing the night away up and down never know where all their eyes look now way out of bounds lonely in love again, lonely without moonshine like sunlight i wait for the click i was food for the mayfly food for the nightingale tone deaf and tongue tied the words never stick and you're never gonna get em right never gonna find the right thing to say so sing it out loud eavesdropped on everything, figured you out you never where other guys look now way out of town longing for love again lust for now sing for the night sing for the nightingale thinking aloud wonder where you go sing for a sign sing for the nights you say you strayed away from your mother's arms pondering every thought you shivered out loud in the middle of the night ducked down the alleyway, got strung out you never know what's on their mind's anyhow something unsound fall back in sync again fall back out you're never gonna get out i've been down deep in the throes of it, frozen ground you'll never know just what they took for you now will never be found loved like a family, loved somehow but you're never gonna get out da da da da you're never gonna get out but you're never gonna get out you're never gonna get out this time

where do you go when I'm not around who do you love when I'm out of town the butcher, the baker the thin undertaker who makes not a sound who do you love when I'm out of town have all my dreams come tumbling down who's in your arms where I used to drown the old money lender the lonely bartender the carnival clown who do you love when I'm out of town don't say it doesn't matter anyway because it doesn't matter what you say all our pages are turning to brown we're breaking up and I'm breaking down the man in the forest the dashing young florist, the nurse musclebound who do you love when I'm out of town - stephin meritt
20.
ever after does it matter anymore unbelievers will never need us so long ago hide the horror fuck tomorrow i found a home don't you hate it i can't take it a puppet show i know that there's a better life coming you never die if you keep on running i know that there's a better light coming i think that there's a guiding light coming never die if you keep on running know that there's a guiding light coming
