Oblivious 03:01
I met this stranger They said they're danger My mind wanders While I ponder We're in compliance And in alliance Say that I'm fine But am I that blind? Keep me captive Stay inactive You think I'm insane 'Cause I do stay Thinking I'm alright When you're in my sight Thinking I'm at home Never feel alone Thinking I'm alright When you're in my sight Thinking I'm at home Never feel alone Curtains falling Mind's evolving Will you see it? Or not believe it? Get out of my head Free me from this dread Let us not pretend That this might be the end Face my demons And count the reasons Yeah, I'm insane 'Cause I do stay Thinking I'm alright When you're in my sight Thinking I'm at home Never feel alone Thinking I'm alright When you're in my sight Thinking I'm at home Never feel alone

Bad Penny 02:34
I try to keep it out of sight You're disregarding what is right Make excuses full of lies But that comes as no surprise You just don't wanna believe the truth This all stems from what you choose All I've felt and what I've known I could never throw a bone All you do is bring me down Always hate when you're around And all You are Is A bad penny Cannot wait for you to see Just why we all disagree Take a look at what you stole Try to stay in your own role I'm just waiting for the day That it all just goes away All I've felt and what I've known I could never throw a bone All you do is bring me down Always hate when you're around And all You are Is A bad penny All I've felt and what I've known I could never throw a bone All you do is bring me down Always hate when you're around And all You are Is A bad penny

Glitter Gold 03:30
It starts with a smoking gun Fear that the cat's got your tongue You come stumbling back to me To let all your demons free Feel like you've hit a wall With no one to love at all Feeling lost like you need a guide All you have is me at your side Say that all the glitter's gold But that's getting old Read between the lines and Pretend that you're fine It ain't over yet Until we get reset Tell me how you really feel 'Cause you need to heal Try to throw your troubles away But the darkness wants to play Try to make it disappear But here comes all your fears Always looming out of sight Feeling like a constant fight Feeling like you're in a dream That makes you wanna scream Say that all the glitter's gold But that's getting old Read between the lines and Pretend that you're fine It ain't over yet Until we get reset Tell me how you really feel 'Cause you need to heal You feel like they're watching you Please try and enjoy the view Feel it breathing down your neck Try not to become a wreck You hear a knock at your door The darkness is back for more Please don't try to hide this time I know that you'll be fine Say that all the glitter's gold But that's getting old Read between the lines and Pretend that you're fine It ain't over yet Until we get reset Tell me how you really feel 'Cause you need to heal

Brainwaves 03:47
Whenever I'm alone I hear the constant drone I hear it creeping in It brings me where I've been Filling up my head Repeating what I've said Kick into overdrive Analyzing every line Trying to find all signs Telling me I'm fine There are next to none Can't find a single one Feeling pushed aside Like I'm being left behind I struggle in silence Waiting for your lens Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Don't know what is outside While I try to hide Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Feel it surrounding me Can anybody see? The air is getting thin Can someone let me in? I feel like I'm in hell But there's no way to tell I wait until they come And I wish that I could run Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Don't know what is outside While I try to hide Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Can't turn it off Please make it stop Can't turn it off Please make it stop Can't turn it off Please make it stop Can't turn it off Please make it stop Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Don't know what is outside While I try to hide Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Set my brainwaves on fire Watch the flames grow higher Set my brainwaves on fire (Can't turn it off) Watch the flames grow higher (Please make it stop) Set my brainwaves on fire (Can't turn it off) Watch the flames grow higher (Please make it stop) Set my brainwaves on fire (Can't turn it off) Watch the flames grow higher (Please make it stop) Set my brainwaves on fire (Can't turn it off) Watch the flames grow higher (Please make it stop)

I know what's going through your mind But please take some time Press rewind You may have lost control Maybe you lost your cool But in the end, I'm with you Don't give up on your dreams Please don't throw it all away Don't do that again You never know what you have Until it's gone I know your mind is racing And it can't stop the pacing Just listen now and stick around Say there's no reason At the end of the season Please don't leave me now We'll figure it out Don't give up on your dreams Please don't throw it all away Don't do that again You never know what you have Until it's gone Don't give up on your dreams Please don't throw it all away Never do that again You never know what you have Until it's gone

We're fighting In secret and We don't want no one to hear about it We keep cool Stay neutral Turning heads is the last thing we wanna do 'Cause it's not easy to keep These words that cut so deep Maybe take shots that aren't so cheap Do I stand or fall Outside these four walls? Knowing that you are The key to it all We get help To free us From all the sadness and pain we caused We're talking Not screaming For once we feel we can chat without seething 'Cause it's not easy to keep These words that cut so deep Maybe take shots that aren't so cheap Do I stand or fall Outside these four walls? Knowing that you are The key to it all 'Cause it's not easy to keep These words that cut so deep Maybe take shots that aren't so cheap Do I stand or fall Outside these four walls? Knowing that you are The key to it all

Rut 03:21
Pull back the curtain What do you see? Not a soul but then you see me I'm in a rut, stuck in a rut Sit at home all alone No ringing from the phone Outta sight, outta mind Guess a sign of the times Stuck in a rut but you never see While I scream and I plea Guess you don't need me Guess you don't need me Should I let go? Stay in my home You free to roam, I walk alone I'm in a rut, stuck in a rut Have you forgotten? Am I rotten? Was it me? What do you see? I'm in a rut, stuck in a rut Sit at home all alone No ringing from the phone Outta sight, outta mind Guess a sign of the times Stuck in a rut but you never see While I scream and I plea Guess you don't need me Guess you don't need me Pull back the curtain What do you see? Not a soul but then you see me I'm in a rut, stuck in a rut All that I've known Is at my home I look below and the bruises grow I'm in a rut, stuck in a rut Sit at home all alone No ringing from the phone Outta sight, outta mind Guess a sign of the times Stuck in a rut but you never see While I scream and I plea Guess you don't need me Guess you don't need me

You try to conform me But all you do is bore me Keep me on this same path Hoping I've not done the math Your brain is almost foggy Sometimes fully groggy Pretending that we're friends But I don't see that trend You're hung up on anxiety (Paving your way) Embrace your brains sobriety (Fuck what they say) I won't let bloody royalty (Get in my way) Don't get hung up on loyalty (This is the day) Beaten down from the past This pain is here to last You always think you're right Just keep me out of sight You try to restrain me But all you do is drain me I see it in your eyes You start to believe the lies You're hung up on anxiety (Paving your way) Embrace your brains sobriety (Fuck what they say) I won't let bloody royalty (Get in my way) Don't get hung up on loyalty (This is the day) You're hung up on anxiety (Paving your way) Embrace your brains sobriety (Fuck what they say) I won't let bloody royalty (Get in my way) Don't get hung up on loyalty (This is the day)

Take a look around, all that I've found Are broken dreams Sitting on the bench, looking in from the fence Guess they don't need me Anyone can fight, everyone can win Do I fit in? Where are my superpowers? Where are my superpowers? Everyone around, it seems to be They're better than me I fake a smile, wish I'd redialed To my desires I feel alone while they're on call And the further I fall Where are my superpowers? Where are my superpowers? Angel to the left Devil to the right Almost every night It's the daily fight Everyone in sight Is better than you They all have powers I'm left to cower And I've gotta ask Where are my goddamn superpowers? Where are my superpowers? Where are my superpowers?

Got so much on my mind Trying to take my time I say "We'll see what we can do" Whether or not it'll work out I try to find out The times the biggest worry But I don't wanna hurry I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just trying to get good grades Trying to find time for everything Trying to find time for everyone Hiding what they don't see How it's all getting to me I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades Little time for myself Staying in good health I just I wanna do it all Even if I stand or fall Whether or not it'll work out I try to find out The times the biggest worry But I don't wanna hurry I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just trying to get good grades Trying to find time for everything Trying to find time for everyone Hiding what they don't see How it's all getting to me I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades I'm just a jack of all trades
