Casualty 04:27
Verse 1 I bet you thought that I was gone I waited for so long to say I needed to get away from the fire You should hear what they say about me I've become a casualty of lies Destined by design From a liar PreChorus Ignorant, no doubt Always talking knowing nothing about Chorus So kill me, break me down Because I'm finally happy I'm sorry if i was wrong I was barely living I felt buried alive I was dead on the inside And you weren’t there for me Better late than never To find out how it was supposed to be Verse 2 Imagine all the damage hypocrites have done Self proclaimed priests and virgin nuns Look down just for an excuse To abuse you I'm so glad i got the chance to see Who doesn't mean shit and who was there for me They shut down all the rumors and lies Innocence dies PreChorus Ignorant no doubt Always talking knowing nothing about Chorus So kill me, break me down Because I'm finally happy I'm sorry if i was wrong I was barely living I felt buried alive I was dead on the inside And you weren’t there for me Better late than never To find out how it was supposed to be Heavy Ending Liar, Liar, Liar, why’d you have to Lie, Lie, Lie, tearing down my Life, Life, Life, why’d you have to go and kill us all

Lost all my taste I know I’m feeling like it’s gone all to waste When I’ve lost my mind to all the things to say Don’t make it better and you make me shy away Fix my brain Can this be the last time feeling like a flatline Gotta be someone always on to run Can’t you see it, refuse to free it Alone in here but myself I fear Can’t be ordinary now Need to find my own way out Trapped inside a burning house I set aflame Always waiting to come undone Staring down the mirror like a gun Hold on wait Not as dark as it sounds I’ll be okay Just the way I know how to get through the day Keep the smile grinning, push past the pain Stop the bleeding This won’t be the last time but I know I’ll be fine Everyone’s gone, who I’m running from Not as clever unless I sever the hanging knot Miss the closest shot Can’t be ordinary now Need to find my own way out Trapped inside a burning house I set aflame Always waiting to come undone Staring down the mirror like a gun Can’t stop keeping on Can’t stop keeping on Can’t stop keeping on Feeding off my demons Can’t be ordinary now Need to find my own way out Trapped inside a burning house I set aflame Always waiting to come undone Staring down the mirror like a gun Can’t stop keeping on Can’t stop keeping on Can’t stop keeping on Feeding off my demons

Deafening 05:40
Intro: You lied Can’t speak, Getting in the way Three words, struggling to say Everything’s been Thrown away Verse: We made years, I found a ring Stumbled truth that ruined everything Words poisoned, died Lost my faith, with each new lie Deception came easy But you paused to please me Everything at stake Was it Worth to lose me, and Chorus: Honestly, if you were honest with me This wouldn’t be catastrophe You took my life And All the Time, you wasted mine But I still can’t put you behind Cut and paste Another face Intro: You lied Can’t speak, Getting in the way Three words, struggling to say Everything’s been Thrown away Verse: Would things change if I stayed? Would love be enough to look away? Ignorance blind Peeking thru squinted eye Sin is I’m prideful But you were like a child Fibbing be honest Afraid of the trial Chorus: Honestly, if you were honest with me This wouldn’t be catastrophe You took my life And All the Time, you wasted mine But I still can’t put you behind Cut and paste Another face Bridge: I should have loved you better I admit to being confused All I did was sacrifice You cared about you You cared about you Quiet quiet quiet quiet, quiet quiet STOP …… We’re both sitting on the edge of cliff Too many memories and heart ache to sift Can’t talk this over, maybe better that way I imagine this is what you’ve been longing to say I’m sorry you never slowed to savors the seconds Sorry for the minutes you’re always right when you’re not I’m sorry for the weeks YOU abandoned faith in me Months passed by cold from the lust you lost YOU created space between us, now it’s been a year you’re addictions are unhealthy too Should‘ve held me closer, maybe it wouldn't happened. Sorry I wasn’t worth enough for you to show it How can you say you loved me If you were able to let me go. You gave up on me. You gave up on us. But in the end, I’m sorry the most For not loving you now. Not even at all. Final Chorus: [Ethan singing] Honestly, were you ever honest with me? Now I’m the tragedy All the time, both yours and mine Now it’s lost behind Fuck Honestly, if you were honest with me This wouldn’t be catastrophe You took my life And All the Time, you wasted mine But I can’t put you behind Cut and paste Another face Brent outro Didnt think I could live without I you Didnt think I would grow Didnt think I could live without you I gotta let you go Outro: Goodbye Didn’t want to say goodbye Didnt want to say goodbye Never want to say goodbye Goodbye

Friction 03:10
Out come the liars and the thieves Making life hard for the weak Or weak at heart My love it's been torn apart I wish that I could say you wanted me Sometimes the worst thing to do is wait and see Got friction Can't fix it Musician not a magician God damn it's not easy But it doesn't have to be hard You want me to close the door But I'm already gone I'm gone I'd like to explain myself But your drama is bad for my health It makes others smile To see me struggle but only for a while I'm tired of waiting for others to change I'll look into myself if I want to rearrange Got friction can't fix it Musician not a magician God damn it's not easy But it doesn't have to be hard You want me to close the door But I'm already gone It can't be hard to believe That deep down you wanted me to leave I left You want me to close the door But I'm already gone It can't be hard to believe That deep down you wanted me to leave

Left To Die 04:15
Verse 1: It's the beginning of the end I'll burn down this fucking trend They're always waiting for us to fall If I can't run, I'll walk or crawl Once they got all they needed They retreated, I was bled Dry and broken, dead inside What the hell, at least I tried PreChorus: But you never said hello And you never said goodbye All you had to do was try Chorus: I don't understand If you really want to be here Then why'd you ever go I guess we'll never know You left saying you're sorry Yeah I'll see you on the weekend And you need time alone You never let us know Verse 2: The fakes are taking notes And stealing all their quotes They seem to have no thought involved Just rip it off and the problem's solved Now look at all the damage done They act as though a war's been won But this is just the end, the end of days Let's hit restart and go different ways PreChorus: But you never said hello And you never said goodbye All you had to do was try Chorus: I don't understand If you really want to be here Then why'd you ever go I guess we'll never know You left saying you're sorry Yeah I'll see you on the weekend And you need time alone You never let us know Bridge: You had to run away, but never forget your friends Run away, but never forget your friends Wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't think you're hearing this, listen closely Because I want you to know that you can't just Run away and just forget your friends Run away and never forget your friends Chorus: I don't understand If you really want to be here Then why'd you ever go I guess we'll never know You left saying you're sorry Yeah I'll see you on the weekend And you need time alone You never let us know This is our way of saying goodbye This is our way of saying goodbye Of saying goodbye

Verse: Watching closely, listening up But you don’t even know what's up It’s like a TV show on episode 3 It’s on your phone and not your TV This ain’t a game show It’s become the ultimate test When she’s gonna give it a rest All I ever wanted was to not argue Something that we can never do We can never do Chorus: This has become the end of days we knew, we knew Sooner or later it was something we had to do I, I, I don’t want to fight no more I, I, I can’t take no more Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right You fucked up my life Verse: No matter when I left it was too early to leave I owe you my whole life that's what you’d like to believe You would never try and pretend that you cared Until you fed the sheep the lies while they sat and stared I am over this the drama I won't miss Turn your head in anger I just wanted a kiss A kiss, a kiss, the lies, the lies…the fucking lies Chorus: This has become the end of days we knew, we knew Sooner or later it was something we had to do I, I, I don’t want to fight no more I, I, I can’t take no more Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right You fucked up my life Bridge: All this time, try to save this I won’t fight You made up your mind, to destroy mine But I’m moving on, moving on, moving on Please remember, I can’t forget Moving forward but I’m a wreck Chorus: This has become the end of days we knew, we knew Sooner or later it was something we had to do I, I, I don’t want to fight no more I, I, I can’t take no more Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right You fucked up my life

Sunset Flip 03:20
Verse 1 It's easier to watch as life passes by They only wanna waste your time I know that you wanted more but didnt think that you'd survive All you needed was a hill to climb And someone to care Chorus I can be, I can be, I can be the one Who opens up your eyes I’ll be the one to surprise you When everything’s complicated (X2) Verse 2 It’s not so easy although I've tried You make up for all the sleepless nights Some days at the end of a rope Or headed down a lonely slope But she's like a gift thats fixing me Im finally feeling like im actually free The kinda free I never wanna die And not let moments pass me by Chorus I can be, I can be, I can be the one Who opens up your eyes I’ll be the one to surprise you When everything’s complicated (X2) Bridge I wanted to, to be the one, that’s yours forever Now that you’re gone, I’ll say goodbye, your now my never Chorus I can be, I can be, I can be the one Who opens up your eyes I’ll be the one to surprise you When everything’s complicated (X2)

Verse 1 Damn right it's a comeback tale Are you with me As I change who I use to be Motivated by failure that hasn't happened yet I'm down to bet you wont be upset Pre Chorus Time has come get your feet off the floor Are you fucking ready for more? Chorus We ain't goin down without a fight Well work all through the night Nonstop until we get it right Verse 2 No rest when the job ain't done do ya feel me? As I reverse what i use to be Keep it real with adjustments made Time to raise the bar Kill the rockstar Pre Chorus Time has come get your feet off the floor Are you fucking ready for more? Chorus We ain't goin down without a fight Well work all through the night Nonstop until we get it right

November 04:12
My life's a chaotic mess I'm drowning in your stress Tell me what you want to hear I'll see you in my rearview mirror Problems stack but I’ll bounce back Hidden message in every track Even at my worst I see it clearly You only want to fight when you're not near me... I don't want to go I don't want to go I want to stay Do you want to hear a love song or the reality of Life First it feels good then it stabs you with a knife Wake up anxiety pissed at everyone Everyone I'm back again I'm not afraid to die I'm afraid not to live How much more do I have to give? It wouldn't make sense it's not about you Understand I've got a lot I want to do My heart's turning black and blue I will never let you fall So please don't push me till I'm not around I don't want to go I don't want to go I want to stay Do you want to hear a love song or the reality of Life First it feels good then it stabs you with a knife Wake up anxiety pissed at everyone Everyone, I'm back again I remember November like yesterday I remember November like yesterday Something happened to me I'm expecting more Unlike ever before

Crooked 04:03
Verse 1 No bullshit, anticipation I don’t want to hear the same conversation Maybe if you answered, you’d be sitting here I don’t want to talk, I just want to rock I don’t to go on tour, I don’t want to bore You with all this work as if my times all a joke PreChorus You didn’t just leave me, you left everyone Chorus Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend I don’t even want to know your name I guess we’re not the same But we already knew that If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see You didn’t want nothing to do with me So take your ball and run You almost took out all the fun Verse 2 I benefited you, you benefitted me I was willing to wait but you were unhappy I don’t know why you were mad Looking back it’s kinda sad Let’s take this nice and slow You were the one to go Pack all your things and leave Leave all of us behind PreChorus You didn’t just fool me, you fooled everyone Chorus Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend I don’t even want to know your name I guess we’re not the same But we already knew that If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see You didn’t want nothing to do with me So take your ball and run You almost took out all the fun Heavy Bridge I hope you’re listening Forget the times, my name, my face Refuse to pretend you can just replace me PreChorus You didn’t just fuck me, you fucked everyone Chorus Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend I don’t even want to know your name I guess we’re not the same But we already knew that If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see You didn’t want nothing to do with me So take your ball and run You almost took out all the fun Outro It’s okay we’re not the same I believe we can relate Guess it’s true that people change But doesn’t mean we have to fade So take your ball and run You took out all the fun I guess we’re not the same Oh no we’re not the same Forget the times (x5)

9 Volt 03:44
Verse 1 From the largest stages, to the smallest dives Checked my pulse, still alive It ain’t all that bad, comes with the territory I am made to bleed, but that’s a different story Right back to where we started 2010 I was broken hearted We’ve been through worse than this But you’re the only one, I’m really gonna miss Chorus I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery Like a battery Verse 2 We survived the storm, but didn’t notice the rain When the sun came up we felt the pain Taking time to rock was the only plan We didn’t give a shit about getting out of Spokane Soon 5 years faded, concerts raided, When your best friend turned on you It was obvious you were gone too We didn’t care we knew what we had to do Chorus I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery Like a battery Heavy Bridge Wont! Burn! Out! Like a Battery! You can leave it, but I need it You can’t stop me, I’m the energy! I’ve put in everything that I am No excuses I’m not ready to end Soft Bridge I’ll see you around, I’ll see you around I’ll see you around, I’ll see you around, yeah Let’s talk about all the times that we had And how you didn’t want to be there Watch us start over again, this is just the beginning Chorus I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery Like a battery

Verse 1: Sometimes I think that maybe this is all a bad dream With no intention for it to hurt Or tear down your integrity I just want you to find some comfort Misery and sorrow seem to clear the way Self despair will ruin you day by day I see the writing on the wall Don’t think I didn’t care at all Chorus: Something tells me I shoulda helped you out Your whisper I needed you to scream or shout The look in your eyes told me lies I believed you even though you told me a thousand times I know you’ve got an island In your mind all by yourself I know that I should have helped you out Verse 2: And now as time passes by I still can’t figure out why You gave up on yourself You had a lot to lose But I never walked in your shoes I just want you to be happy Misery and sorrow seem to clear the way Self despair will ruin you day to day I see the writing on the wall Don’t think I didn’t care at all Chorus: Something tells me I shoulda helped you out Your whisper I needed you to scream or shout The look in your eyes told me lies I believed you even though you told me a thousand times I know you’ve got an island In your mind all by yourself I know that I should have helped you out Soft Chorus: Something tells me I shoulda helped you out I needed you I needed you to scream or shout Chorus: Something tells me I shoulda helped you out Your whisper I needed you to scream or shout The look in your eyes told me lies I believed you even though you told me a thousand times I know you’ve got an island In your mind all by yourself I know that I should have helped you out

I like that you're broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you're lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you I met you late night, at a party Some trust fund baby's Brooklyn loft By the bathroom, you said let's talk But my confidence is wearing off These are my people These are my friends She grabbed my face and that's when she said I like that you're broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you're lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you There's something tragic, but almost pure Think I could love you, but I'm not sure There's something wholesome, there's something sweet Tucked in your eyes that I'd love to meet These are my people These are my friends She grabbed my face and that's when she said I like that you're broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you're lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you Life is not a love song that we like We're all broken pieces floating by Life is not a love song, we can try To fix our broken pieces one at a time I like that you're broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you're lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you I like that you're broken Broken like me Maybe that makes me a fool I like that you're lonely Lonely like me I could be lonely with you
