In A Cave 03:44
Everything has got to be just right Future set with a love so bright Maybe I still need to figure some of it out If you do, would you please give me a shout? Euphoria fades too soon Nostalgia, your childhood room Kicked around, who is there to be? Look to the ground, reflections, they bleed Yeah, yeah You’re not so pretty It wasn’t yet time You said we’d be fine Of course I believed you Well, one of us had to I wished I could take it I wished I could fake it Until it bore down onto me Until I couldn’t breathe Still it don’t feel so great To have to seal the fate I loved you, swear that’s true But you pressed too hard And now I’m leaving scars Tell me when did that shit start? Euphoria fades too soon Nostalgia, your childhood room Kicked around, who is there to be? Look to the ground, reflections, they bleed Yeah, yeah

EP '09 04:01
Hey yeah you there Stars in your hair So what’s your name? Oh now I see No it can’t be It’s just another game Of “Please take me And hide with me” I can feel the shame But now I see Here we are free Out there we’re all the same Thought I’d stay on my own But I haven’t grown No I can’t think I’m on the brink Say it all again I wanna be Mrs. Misery But Elliott’s not my friend Oh I’ve been stepping too far And I’ve been stepping way too hard Old wounds have reopened now And there’s no good way out I get promised change And I fall for it every time Always had myself to blame But now I’m losing my mind Can’t fall back into that trap Ditch that sugar sweet sap Four years of memories Haunting me unexpectedly The guilt is starting to mount Cause I know I’m better without But nostalgia is hard to resist Even when you’re good at getting pissed I get promised change And I fall for it every time Always had myself to blame But now I’m losing my mind The best way to be free Is to never belong to anybody

Momma Said 03:04
No I don’t feel like explaining myself And I don’t feel like explaining anyone else But I can’t ignore the ignorance You’re the one who don’t make no sense Momma said she’d love me no matter what But she also said that it’d be tough So I think I’ll keep it deep inside I’ll squish down any inch of pride That I had grown within And I’ll take those jokes on the chin ‘Cause you wouldn’t make ‘em if you knew But if you did, then what would you do? What would you do? I erase myself so you’re comfortable That’s not all of it, I’m also unstable With the whole other side of the coin You’re in, you’re out, you don’t just join And yet, here I am Flags in my hands Trying to get myself to understand Where it is that I can safely land Momma said she’d love me no matter what But she also said that it’d be tough So I think I’ll keep it deep inside I’ll squish down any inch of pride That I had grown within And I’ll take those jokes on the chin ‘Cause you wouldn’t make ‘em if you knew But if you did, then what would you do? What would you do?

It’s the fatal god complex Of the guy with no prospects That makes me curious to know Where the rest of us go Surely you’re aware of it You know it all, you insist on it So I’m curious to know Where the rest of us go It’s the screaming when you talk And the interactions you block That make me curious to know Why you don’t just go blow Surely you’ve read every letter Fuck, well I expected better Oh, I’m so curious to know Where the rest of us go You knew I’d try If you said so Wouldn’t ask why Because I should just know Too much to remember It was too much to understand You always hated December Swear this wasn’t what I’d planned It’s the wicked jack in the box The one that screams out when it pops That makes me curious to know If you’re real or just for show Surely you know how you come off Say you’re worried but you don’t stop Oh I’m so curious to know Where the rest of us go You knew I’d try If you said so Wouldn’t ask why Because I should just know Too much to remember It was too much to understand You always hated December Swear this wasn’t what I’d planned At the window I sat When I couldn’t breathe I don’t think you realized that You brought out the worst in me It’s the working of the magic That makes this so tragic Why don’t you tell me since you know Where do the rest of us go?
