wave goodbye to the dreams you never had i've been a stray too long i think i know what's wrong but i'm going nowhere fast i'm going nowhere fast i'm going nowhere fast dinosaur was it wrong to let you in love wired us tangled and torn i'm not surprised that it shows and you're going nowhere fast you're going nowhere fast we're going nowhere fast
2.	acrylic 02:06	lyrics	buy track
you woke up from a dream years ago you were all alone acrylics and stained sheets never accounted for i stayed up with you all night years ago only down the hall lost my charm with the wine when i said i need you you might not think it's so bad but i've been living like i'm never going to heaven i'm not sure if i took four or if i took seven but i feel something else you might not think it's so sad i've been feeling just like a rolling stone i made a living out of dying alone trying to be something else and one day if you come back i'll be around for awhile if it sticks or trade it off for a temporary fix until there's nothing left
3.	california 02:56	lyrics	buy track
it took awhile for you to settle down settle in you took the cinnamon and washed it out of your mouth and when the guillotine came down it snapped over my neck still once you looked away you were gone there's only diligence in those who try to cut you down and once they do the tremors echo coast to coast and when you dream do you wake up soaked in red colored sweat love seems so far away from anything you want now there's a part of me that never wants to see you again and there's a part of me that needs you now i don't why my brain was wired fifty fifty but now it seems i'm the only one oblivious it's spreading like a disease that's what you wanted when it was here now it's the curse you got and when you fled to california i was somewhere at home just trying desperately to brush it off sucked out the venom and you spit it out of your mouth but i'm not sure i wanna die slow my heart's still broken but something would have done it somehow some things just never end up like you thought
4.	serotonin 02:39	lyrics	buy track
i stopped by to your place on the way back home it felt innocent a lack of modern intent we took time to displace how we felt alone was it real or was it all inside of our heads felt like a lie at the time i couldn't tell the truth seven years ago i was falling in love with you yeah there's a lot of things about me you'll never know she wasn't one in the same she was a friend of mine it was the serotonin ask me if i'm doing alright yeah there's a lot of things about me you shouldn't know we jumped ship when the curtains were finally pulled it felt useless another lifelong regret it was a crime yeah some ways it was criminal was just a kiss or was the love inside of you dead felt like a lot at the time i was just seventeen seven years ago you were falling in love with me yeah there's a lot things about you i shouldn't know he wasn't one in the same he was a friend of mine it was the melatonin i could never sleep right at night and when i dreamt of you i'd wake up just losing my mind it was the serotonin ask me if i'm doing alright yeah there's a lot things about you i'll never know there's a lot things about you i'll never know there's a lot things about you i'll never know
5.	monster 03:32	lyrics	buy track
you could say it like you mean it you could tell me how you're feeling cause i cant tell there's a prayer i can teach it wouldn't matter if it reached him but i dont care far gone beyond repair with a sawed off secret so just sit back i created a monster didnt seem within reason well i got nothing to believe in and im sick of this you could try to live by every rock n roll suicide i'm impatient theres no captain on this ship we're all going down with it but i dont care i created a monster well dont sigh i know why you were living all these lies its not secret half naked in my eyes another farewell lullaby for their judgement i'd try but i cant live with this a dead muse and a sick head that you wont miss there's no captain on my ship the water's up to my neck so dont hold your breath im far gone maybe this it it got a sawed off secret so just sit back i created a monster
6.	doghouse 03:14	lyrics	buy track
art school graduate i was counterfeit halfway down the line ran into you blind i repaired that car filled up broken jars with brandy on our breaths while we just laid in bed but don't say i never warned you about me don't say i never did i never drove that fast again no won't you tell me what i missed crashed it one last time you were almost mine but i just got back in and rode over the cliff
7.	goldmine 02:19	lyrics	buy track
i've been feeling far out strung out in my hideout but you got a goldmine don't let it all dry up you were right i'm only living for their lies its really all i got shiny precious diamonds never fall in my hands but you had it all right i let it all dry up in a way i'm only digging for the grave you know it's all i got

9.	talk 04:01	lyrics	buy track
you know i hold it against me come back i know you remember me they say i was always crazy you know it's all i talk about just as alone as i'll ever be come back i know you hate me i'd dream but i can't fall asleep you know it's all i think about distance can be such a catalyst i've been afraid of abandonment my love just never felt adequate you know it's all i've got now i won't forget what you said that day don't lie i know there's not anything but i spent centuries waiting you know it's all i sought out and on that birthday you never had black and white roses on your neck wish there was something i could have said to turn back time your friends shrugged it off when they found out you'd spent your life in a haunted house but nobody cares what stalks you now couldn't extinguish my ailment drinking to feel compassionate maybe these pieces will never fit you know it's all i talk about
10.	dying out east 03:42	lyrics	buy track
even if you wanna die young you'll be coming back crying like a baby and maybe you might think you'll win by just running round tying onto anything and maybe you can sing acapella but i've been hearing echos in the corners of all the walls with the pictures you used to be in but i don't make us out some kind of curse you speak of but i got a heart not heavy it doesn't matter if you told a thousand truths or a million lies no i don't care if you're dying out east i'll be coloring the walls with my head up and every time you spill blood i'll clean it up if you just leave me alone there's something in those words you sing that to me could only mean nothing i don't care if you're dying out east
