Verse 1: There's a fear in the breeze like a sinking ship That meant to dock an hour ago but thought about it too late But it can drown with the best of 'em You look so tired 'cos you love yourself But I look like a beatnik, like everybody else And you? You could really care less. Standing is hard, I need an apparatus 'Cos I'm eating too much and getting too fat with you And it's a lovely time But as I sit to write with ink in my chest I'm getting older, getting older... And I can't think of a rhyme Chorus: I can't say that I knew you at all, but I want to. Is it loud enough for you now that I need you? Verse 2: Look there's a man with a rose in his mouth But his hand's not on the thorn but farther south And he can't seem to get a good grip You still seem beat, 'cos it's plain to see That I'm struggling to find good company And my pants are beginning to rip Don't you love me now? 'Cos love can be found When there doesn't seem to be anyone around but me And that's just your luck! And now you're struggling to find the proper drink 'Cos your heart is beating too fast to think And your mind is running amok Chorus 2x But I mind the mind of your own That I'm bound to Run away, run away from the throne So I can love you

Edges 04:49
Verse1: You look lonely in that dress With your past on your sleeve With your future on your Tumblr Like the freedom to believe On the stairs, you're hiding away With your eyes to the ground Like you'll find love, all the above When you know it can't be found It's no wonder you're named after a razor blade Chorus: You may tell yourself that you're miserable But you're not even trying To think of the unthinkable And tell yourself you're lying After all is said and done... I know you know I've tried Verse 2: She can love somebody else She can look away from you You can cry all over your Tumblr 'Cos it's something to do On the floor, you're wasting away Under air, too much for you 'Cos normalcy takes too much care And accepting something new It's no wonder you're named after a razor blade Chorus Outro: I commend you for pushing through I commend you... but you're doing it wrong.

Verse 1: When I died in the heartland In your middle-of-nowhere town I knew you'd come running When I rose from Lake Michigan With the pride of a Born Again The pride of a dog So along Route 80 I was more than elated To sit in the car for a day Imagine me imagining you Crying for revival 'Cos I knew that you'd loved me Verse 2: At the end of Route 80 Normalcy is killing me 'Cos I want you to love me Sitting in my basement With our feet on the pavement Where our legs don't work anymore You don't look like a monk But I'm still rocking that punk-do After all that I've been through I won't shave it off On the banks of Lake Michigan With the pride of a dog I didn't think I would miss it... Chorus: Oh God, I need your distraction 2x I don't regret letting go, but on the damned radio There's nothing I care about Oh God... Verse 3: On the banks of the Raritan If I ever saw you again I would think I was drowning But the air feeds my brain Where the water's okay Where I feel like a king Chorus

The Jester 08:49
Verse 1: This is getting too morbid too fast And that cake on the counter, can it get any louder anymore? If it can't, let it slip into the past With all of our laughter, I've always wanted to be sadder than you Chorus: Now I'm planning reckless abandon And you're planning to leave me behind Verse 2: So the tables have turned again! And those flowers I sent you could never figure out what you mean And my jokes are nothing for friends Can't you see I'm just much a Jester as I am a Queen? Chorus And your humor will let your subdue her Because I love you, leave me behind
