Blood Cells 04:08
Am I only ashamed because you caught me? Is it because I caught myself thinking we were the same? It's all you taught me And I believed every word, but I see it now And I was always by your side Your mind, only a tension for me to misguide (Yeah, I believe it) Are you only sustained by some ill instinct? We came alive with a devilish laughter Out of a mouth that’s too sick to speak When only time can save or sever us After all you put me through Submerged in your breath How could I not know that it was true? (But it) was not you all along All of the choices I made wrong Under your skin is where I'll stay Like blood and your cells, not far away Are we so lonely and insane that we refuse to leave Each other's sides despite the bilious detest? Hanging in the silence hidden in between Confident lies, I’ll let them chew us to pieces And I will always be your hound You wrote on my walls before you burnt them down (I can’t believe it) Was not you all along All of the choices I made wrong Under your skin is where I'll stay Like blood and your cells, not far away Well I’m a ghost, you’re a maze We are suffering Under love and in the blood Under all you say In the end, in the end, oh Like a ghost, I'm afraid Isn’t it cliche? When our love causes blood to spill out our veins? In the end, it always ends this way You always had to undermine me and I said Oh, you always had to undermine me But it was not you all along All of the choices I made wrong Under your skin is where I'll stay Like blood and your cells, not far away

Dissolve 04:28
Everywhere I go, I dissolve Everywhere you are, I’m involved Encapsulating, masticating And every single time, it’s my fault And everything I learn, I forget Everything I do, I regret You love or hate me I love and hate you When death is but a carnal duet I’m wishing that I could be unfeeling My mind is reeling for real And when you’re revealing the things that you’ve been concealing It’s clear that your love is leaving And I don’t wanna believe it, I caused it, don’t wanna see it And karma’s coming for me now I remember when you looked at me, your eyes would light up Now when we in the sheets, I’m just another body on top Like it means nothing, your eyes are dead, it’s disgusting The way you said "I need something and sorry isn’t enough" I was always under your spell I’ve fallen deeper as you’re on your way out Ignored the voice and caused a wreck Given the choice, we’re always left guessing Met me halfway, thought we could win Until I threw you away to pull you back in You’re my reluctant puppeteer And I can’t force you to stay here Everywhere I go, I dissolve Everywhere you are, I’m involved Encapsulating, masticating And every single time, it’s my fault And everything I learn, I forget Everything I do, I regret You love or hate me I love and hate you When death is but a carnal duet I drown my broken spirit with spirits, searching for clearance Adherence to a new fractured appearance I’ve fallen back to the dearest lover I had It’s the nearest bottle or bag, when the mirror’s No longer showing a man but a hollow corpse being dragged Back and forth by just a little wisp of burning essence Blacken my course, like what is the point? Been hurting since adolescence Feeling no rapture, feelings were captured only to turn obsessive When every new chapter’s another disaster to finally learn my lesson I was always under your spell I’ve fallen deeper, lead me back to myself Embraced the voice that spun a lie Given the choice, we’re only left dying Met me halfway, thought we could win Until I threw you away to pull you back in You’re my reluctant puppeteer And I can’t force you to stay We was one, but not enough for ourselves Into each other’s arms, we had to run from ourselves And If I never find anybody else, Once is enough for a sense so unbound Everything we do, we’re insane Everything we lose, what a shame My words are worthless You’ve changed through hurt and I blame you when I’ve done worse or the same And everything I learn, I forget Everything I do, I regret You love or hate me I love and hate you When death is but a carnal duet Everywhere I go, I dissolve Everywhere you are, I’m involved Encapsulating, masticating And every single time, it’s my fault And everything I learn, I forget Everything I do, I regret You love or hate me I love and hate you When death is but a carnal duet

Skin gets picked from the bone Come and live alone You don’t need any experience here, it’s cool You won’t be fuckin around with nobody In no part of your head. Let me ask you Can I have some? I could make you If I had some. Sixteen dollars a week’s been keeping me off my feet And I’m as solemn and sweet as your sleep when it’s filled with your fears And I will not soon forget How I hate your sex appeal. Let me ask you If you got none I will take you To the wild sun The animals scream, “When will they follow?“ Well, I have answered and now it’s your turn. As real as our fallacies Wish you meant nothing to me I lost my grip as I reached for that drink and it spilled, fed your tears And I will not soon forget The letdown in your eyes. Let me ask you, If you got none I will take you From the wild sun Don’t need to ask why Are you so hollow? I seen your answer, you Act like a cancer but I know I’m worse still Can’t bare the concept Your whole existence is Nothing but regrets Take back the liquid Take back your ransom I’m gonna make you Cause now I have some. Calling You with words that are stolen I think you know it The niceties have fallen They’re crawling out our mouths and choking us It’s so appalling When you said you were “all in” I knew it wasn’t all in My fault for falling.

I can see myself in others I can see your worthless collar When you don’t succeed, you Wanna alter me, it’s true. All our pleasures, all our demons They steer the ship, they crash and sink us A love, once taut has now been hung. Oh how you sold me out Cause you can’t stand yourself Yeah, I’ll be listening, I’m at the back of the door. Try to wear me out. Have you seen yourself on weekends? When your lovers try to be friends? And you tear them down too Just to mount your crown, it’s true. But your memory’s non existent, so I’ll be laughing, I’ll be singing about the times that I was just like you. And oh, you’re so sincere When your hands just cannot steer And I’ll be listening, I’m at the back of the door. Try to wear me down. Oh, you're freaking me out When all you said Was to muster your confidence. And oh oh oh oh oh You’re bringing me down, friend When all I did was Collect all your shit. Tell me are you satisfied With this pretense you call your life? And I’m not listening, I killed you at my front door. Three minutes early I loved you at first blood clot. I won’t be here long I’m at the back of the door. Always in your thoughts. Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts

Like I'm 40 03:52
I’m livin’ out my life like I’m 40 Desperately inside out of the new and the old ways I’m livin’ out my life inside a forty Desperate today Old wounds, now just falling off scars No debts to repay I’m sickened by the wealth in her scent How it deceives me Always deceives me Always had a melody for war Never pushed nobody too far And if you girls think you can ride me out… You’ll just deceive me Always deceive me This always has to delve Down to where we can’t Keep away, I look To your face for a way out Life is an empty box inside an unmarked grave And it’s not worth our time today I’m livin’ out my life like I’m 40 Desperately inside out of the new and the old ways I’m livin’ out my life inside a forty Desperate today Old wounds, now just falling off scars No debts to repay I’m sickened by the words in her sentences How they de- This always has to delve Down to where we can’t Keep away, I look To your face for a way out Life is an empty box inside an unmarked grave And it’s not worth our time today

Wrong 04:41
Mirror or window? I can't tell the difference. The hair out of my head Can swallow the distance From here to Peru or Peru out to Pluto We're hollow, protecting this new love, this new woe. Questions, oh, questions Are friends of the lessons You taught me to act and Throw out my possessions But I had to keep what allowed me to sleep In the night. All I did Was not enough. Oh, you took me for what I was not. But I love you No matter what you do And in the night we'll sing "Heaven is lost, we're fading out What are you on about?" Once she grips his heart; Haven't we lost this all before? I don't know. The difference between us is calling out, screaming for you. When Heaven is lost and Hell echoes the same "I know it's back to me alone." Victor or victim? I can't tell the difference It's clear our addiction's absurd and relentless With my hand in your hand I lose sight of the man That's inside as he cries "this can't happen again" I can't help but think this is all kind of worthless You bottomed your drink as I sank to the surface And I couldn't keep what allows me to sleep In the night. All that I am is not enough. Oh, you took me for what I was not. But I love you That is in 22 catches The times have changed I know, it's strange and I can't believe this is happening. You took it away when I gave it all, All up for you And it's the same old story. Yeah, it's the same old story. Where have you gone? You've got it all wrong. What have you done? You've got it all wrong.
