#Freewater

I wash your back, you scratch my itch, that's how it goes
But don't pretend there's not a price I have to pay
Your charity is selfish, everybody knows
Mutual support that only goes one way
And I know you won't be there for me someday
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me
Collect your tokens, tear your tickets, we'll promote
But never mind the bottom line you'll overthrow
Prey on the dreamers, dry up every well you own
What an icy way to thank the ones you owe
Take your bow among the roses that we've grown
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me
We're friends with benefits
The kind that only benefit you
I'll never get you
We're friends with benefits
The kind that only benefit you
I'll never get you
I'll never get you
I'll never get you
You hold the cup as I die of thirst
I need your water now, but it's not free
So you just watch as I die of thirst
I can't help you now, so why help me

Sorry (Not Sorry)

This house of cards is sure to fall
We're a disaster after all
Caught in the moment, she's a drug
Sorry, not sorry, time is up
So sick and tired of your shit
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry, this is it
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
I'm signing off
I hit the gas, you say my name
The cracks in us are all the same
Feelings are visceral, but then
I'm fucking miserable again
So sick and tired of your shit
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry, this is it
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
I'm signing off
I need some work, this can't get worse
Sorry I'm signing off
I need some time, you won't take mine
I need some work, this can't get worse
Sorry I'm signing off
I need some time, you won't take mine
No
So sick and tired of your shit
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry, this is it
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
So sick and tired of your shit
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry, this is it
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry (sorry, not sorry)
Sorry, not sorry (sorry, not sorry)
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
Sorry, not sorry (sorry, not sorry)
Sorry, not sorry (sorry, not sorry)
Sorry, not sorry, I quit
I'm signing off

The Loudest Silence
04:19
|
|||
My skin is crawling
Nightmares are calling
Just like a song on repeat
The state of bedlam
I seek asylum
But haven't slept in a week
Chaos and danger
Sleep is a stranger
You knock but nobody's home
No one can save me
Or can uncage me
Chained to my worries again
The loudest silence
Breaks down my defense
No one can save me now
'Cause I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep to...
This pain I'm dreading
The needle's threading
Can't do this on my own
The loudest silence
Breaks down my defense
Surrounded by I'm alone
The loudest silence
Breaks down my defense
No one can save me now
'Cause I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep to...
So many things to live through again
So many failures and former friends
They won't let me rest
And now the quiet's coming for me
The sound of endless anxiety
It won't let me rest
The loudest silence
Breaks down my defense
No one can save me now
'Cause I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't, no I won't
I won't
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight
No I won't
I won't sleep tonight

Left Sunk In
02:48
|

By now I should've known better
But I can't wrap my head around the numbers
And I must say when things are getting better
It's not ok when it turns into the latter
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
Wishful thinking's more than just a burden
It's like picking up pieces of a fucked up puzzle
When the pieces fit, they don't mean shit
When the puzzle's complete, we'll all just quit
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
Hey baby, I'm a sinking ship
Don't step off that dock, don't even think of it
Because I'm not worth it, I'm not quite ready for this
So just go ahead and get your fix
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in
I know I'm not that much excitement
But I'm not quite boring and I'm not quite nothing
Don't settle for less, 'cause less is not a bargain
You'll be left sunk in, you'll be left sunk in

Dammit

It's all right to tell me what you think about me
I won't try to argue or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving, you must have your reasons
The season is calling, your pictures are falling down
The steps that I retrace, the sad look on your face
The timing and structure, did you hear that he fucked her
A day late, a buck short, I'm writing the report
On losing and failing, when I move I'm flailing now
And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview
You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy
And I'll smile, and you'll wave, we'll pretend it's ok
The charade, it won't last, when he's gone, I won't come back
And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up

The sidewalks got cracks in 'em
The sidewalks got cracks in 'em
They're just like us, we got cracks in us
The plans we made are falling through
The plans we made are falling through
Plans fall through 'cause we got cracks in us
They're just like us, we got cracks in us
The windows are boarded up
The windows are boarded up
Nailed tight shut 'cause we got cracks in us
They're just like us, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
They're just like us, we got cracks in us
They're just like us, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
We got cracks in us
We got, we got cracks in us
Cracks in us, cracks in us
We got, we've got cracks in us
