Lathrop Ave. 02:44
Suburban misery Trivial tears that I adore Problems that I can fabricate Problems that leave us wanting more Bedroom window situated Near the radiator The sun sets on the 90s And we're lost Sitting beneath the covered walk SM is serenading me I'll leave behind the amber pane And glorify my legacy Bedroom window situated Near the radiator The decade has begun And we're lost
2.
Streetlights 02:58
Standing underneath this streetlight makes me feel Like we're a sad Midwestern town It's just the highway hum that's putting us to sleep We keep the headlights underground And if you told me that you're staying Well, I just wouldn't understand The gates of Heaven shining from outside the gym The city lights atop the trees I've had to make up my own memories because Things were never like they used to be And if you told me that you're staying Well, I just wouldn't understand Standing underneath this streetlight makes me feel Like you would never come outside We are the hills, we are the flats, you aren't here You aren't here, I can't confide And if you told me that you're staying Well, I just wouldn't understand Oh my lord, we haven't changed We haven't changed

I Feel Faint 03:01
I want to get past the stripes And get on with living life Days and weeks and months and years Until I overcome my fears Drawing pictures in the ground Making love without a sound Walking backwards through the streets As wind deprives us both of heat "That was terrible", you say "Kiss me one more time today" I feel faint, I feel so fine I can't wait until you're mine This is pain that I can hide Every time you're at my side Aching eyes don't seem to mind When your eyes can be so kind Awkward silences are laced with Lovely smiles, your lovely face It's not over, do not weep We've not begun to see the peak "That was terrible", you say "Kiss me one more time today" I feel faint, I feel so fine I can't wait until you're mine

Orpheus 03:30
You could make it more surreal So I won't be alarmed She cries underneath her sheets But never in my arms I came so far, but lost it all When I turned to see If you were with me I was told that you had eyes And I heard they Could be deceiving Thirty days until the shores Expand and set you free And as I watch you walk away I'm longing for the sea Sunday morning pressed me Back into my bed I came so far, but lost it all When I turned to see If you were with me I was told that you had eyes And I heard they Could be deceiving Orpheus, come back from Hell You'll never see her again Orpheus, come back from Hell You'll never see her again
5.
I don't want you But I sure hope you're obsessed with me Say what you will about it Barring the windows They strap me down onto the table My words are muffled inside plastic You're laid to rest with the footprints of The junkies on your face The rejects on your face You're allowed to say Anything you want because I still think you're beautiful Pushing the flower pot Off the ledge onto the street Grayscale psychotherapy You're laid to rest with the footprints of The junkies on your face The rejects on your face Don't you say a word to them Just look as if you don't need anyone Let them think that you have seen too much There's the being bored with ecstasy Lacking the need to be desired There's the blood sticking to his teeth

I'm not allowed to be upset If I made the whole thing up If I made the whole thing up But if you knew that I was sick Would that change anything? Would it change a single thing? I am lost I missed your turn, because I'm clinging on to my youth I'll give up You'll never love me, because I'm clinging on to my youth Photographic noise invades My retinas at night My retinas at night And we hear the sound The loveliest drowned in the creek The loveliest drowned in the creek
7.
Pulse 04:13
Oh please pulse around my soul And linger on Until your gaze has wasted me Until your gaze has wasted me Now my head's a monitor Surround my brain With images of my demise With images of my demise I trust that you are clean And that you are impaired Enough to keep me warm tonight Enough to keep me warm tonight A primal nuisance has split my tongue Inside my crib I'm sound asleep before I drown I'm sound asleep before I drown The streets are melting fast You'll throw this couch away I've never felt a pulse I won't feel yours today Re-interpret whatever You have said to me Until your voice has wasted me Until your voice has wasted me
8.
Why can't you be a stupid teenage girl For one time in your life? To satisfy my stupid teenage mind? Infinitely bothered by these strings The planes slide past my face And in this haze my pain in hard to find For me, this will last forever Just for me My eyes remain wide open in the dark In case you come around If it were up to you, I'd never change The boulevard has never seemed so calm Despite the burning trees Nothing in my life could feel strange For me, this will last forever Just for me
9.
I've got this feeling that you are in love I've got this terrible notion that you are in love I've got this feeling that you've found a man I've got this terrible desire to destroy a man Is it appropriate for me to be aroused by the thought Of your preteen self drowning me during a storm? Sickness is pleasure And purity keeps me From feeling a single thing You better believe it that I am repulsed You better be gentle because I am feeling repulsed What sort of behavior did you plan to see? What sort of despicable habits did you plan to see? A beautiful teenage boy cries in a wedding dress But he should not be ashamed as he waits to be burned Sickness is pleasure And purity keeps me From feeling a single thing I know that you'll be ruined But I cannot stand The specifics on how it'll be I had this notion that we were in love But since when have notions been good to me? We're not in love Mannequins folded and coppered with generous lies have corrupted my sight Yet mannequins sunburned by blood on the paneling feign their compassion tonight Apathy makes me intriguing but I cannot even drive myself to care I've bared my soul for this woman you love, now I'm wondering if you would dare Dare to dream Dream about her Or dare to be Be without her One time I held you and I was content I never let go of you, but I'm no longer content
10.
Brace 01:45
I don't mind being ignored Because it spares me the tension of interaction You've assumed too much So brace yourself for heartbreak once again A sweat breaks out upon the statue's head The forest trails are now lined with the dead The rapist hides away his smoking gun And as the sky is falling, I grow towards the sun Could I please be there for you?
