Track Name: The Neverending
The Neverending

Verse 1:
Come here and sit down
Welcome to the neverending

Hopeful, hope so
Tied up in extraordinary

Chorus:
Feel the chill from the open window
Enclose your soul
Your heart in tow
Feel the chill from the open window
Enclose your soul
Your heart in tow

Verse 2:
Your fear, calm now
Throwing letters they’ve been sending

Ten-fold, skin cold
Reminders of the days impending

Bridge:
And I can’t
Recall
How we made it through
And the chill from the open window
It cuts your soul and your heart in two
The same chill from the open window
You run from
Track Name: Textbook
Textbook

Verse 1:
Off again
To face your demons
Forcing their hands
But the tables turned
And you’re staring down the barrel
It’s a textbook kill
It’s a textbook thrill

Pre-Chorus:
Don’t you know that you don’t move anymore
Don’t you know that you don’t move anymore

Chorus:
Take all of your lies
Pack your bags before you say goodbye
Move your feet baby
Cause I’m not taking anymore

Verse 2:
Make your way
Past the pavement
Your fingers touch the door
But the tables turned
And you’re staring down the barrel
It’s a textbook kill
It’s a textbook thrill
Track Name: Phantom-Like
Phantom-Like

Verse 1:
Pouring over books
The pages sticking
Like our hands to the floor
Sidelong looks
Glances of knowing
Something we missed before

Pre-Chorus:
Tell me why
I don’t recognize
(repeat)

Chorus 1:
We’re like phantoms coming to the end of the rope
Bending over backwards cause we think we’re alone
Making noises just to hear a reply
I know I should really learn how to just read

Your eyes

Verse 2:
Another hour of
Our lives repeating
They analyze us on a tray
Boiled down to
A simple science
Chemistry decides today

Chorus 2:
Phantoms coming to the end of the rope
Bending over backwards cause they think we’re alone
Making noises just to hear our reply
I know I should really learn how to just read
Oh I should really learn how to just read

I should really learn how to just read

Your eyes
Track Name: Cynical Hypocrite
Cynical Hypocrite

Verse 1:
In your nature
Hypocritical
A definite cynic
Call me up
And we’ll go over it again
Over it again

Verse 2:
The artistry destroyed
This painting over
Case in point
But we’ll go over it again
Over it again
Over it again

Chorus:
Take all that you want from me
‘Cause I’m standing here bleeding
I’ve given you everything
But you can’t take me
No you can’t take me
Leaving

Verse 3:
Create from
The empirical
Ignore the logic
And you’re gone, gone, gone
So we go over it again
Over it again

Verse 4:
No more lives destroyed
This painting over
Was my choice
So we go over it
Over it again
Over it again
Track Name: This Losing You
This Losing You

Verse 1:
Laces tangled
Strangle me
Make your case for insanity
Fuck your excuses
I’ve earned these bruises
You’re too blind to see

Pre-Chorus:
We see much more than you can fathom
But you don’t give a damn
I don’t fit into your plan
It’s just a part of living
This losing you

Chorus:
Oh you’ve changed
Oh I’ve always been this way
Oh part of living
Is losing you

Verse 2:
Strangers,
Maybe I’m confused
But you could’ve always just refused
I was never your responsibility

Verse 3:
Kids wake up
And their mothers don’t care
Daddy’s out drinking, taking his share
Fuck your excuses
They’ve earned these bruises
You’re too blind to see

Bridge:
Fade into the night
You’re hiding
(repeat 3x)
But I’m okay
We’re all okay
Track Name: What a Funny Thing
What a Funny Thing

Verse 1:
Take a look around
Before you cry
Maybe if you’re conscious
You might survive
I am spent
You ask me why
So I’ll tell you
Like I’ve told you so many times

Chorus:
I’ve been here standing through every moment
You’ve been reacting to what was stolen
What a funny thing
This thing called life
Take your arms they are wrapped too tightly
Around my neck
It is just not right
What a funny thing
This thing called life

Verse 2:
All you had to say
Was I’m through
Could’ve pushed me away
Said I’m not into you
So I went out
Looking for a sign
But you pulled me close
Then you pushed me away tonight
Track Name: Rise
Rise

Verse 1:
Rise and shine
Open those weary eyes
All I’m asking
Is just be here
When I rise
In the morning
So when you cry
I’m by your side

Chorus:
And when you laugh so hard
You can hardly breathe
I want to be the one
Beside you
Or when your dreams take wind
Or you fall face down
I want to be the one
Beside you

Verse 2:
You can raise your voice
If you need to
I can take it
Cause we’ve both fallen
But still we stand
Against demands
They’re coming faster
Take their tolls
Collapse
