I don't know how you sleep so sound In a dead silent room with your thoughts and I only know I could never let you go That's all I know I don't know why you hypnotize Me when you strike that pose If you think I won't fall for you Look out below, that's all I know And since none of this makes sense I'll just try To get by without knowing all the why's 2am beside a quiet pond Just the way it was the night we met The middle of September Will it be the same after we're gone And be where we will reunite in the next life I don't know how I stand myself Saying stupid things and self loathing Why is it you don't seem to mind? I don't know, that's all I know (Chorus)

Every Summer 02:40
I'm swimming in the trees The bees are making feedback sounds What would you say if I told you to just let me drown? Cause every summer I'm lost in memories Of that one summer that you spent with me Every Summer you bury me alive In every summer since you said goodbye I may seem like I'm in a daze but I'm honestly fine I probably should be more upset, but I really don't mind What is it about you that gets you so stuck in my head? Well that's alright, I'll just lay down and make the grass my bed (Chorus)

Broken Voice 02:45
All the creeps are crawling on their leaky knees NyQuil and whiskey, blow my mind to smithereens Now drain my battery, drain it away I must have blown a fuse, cause I can't say anything I got a broken voice I got a broken voice It only works while I'm awake When I need it most it drifts away I got a broken voice I got a broken voice All the streets are flooding, drowning all our dreams TV screen sweating out a static stream Now don't you hear me screaming, take it away I can't compete with the noise in my brain (Chorus)
5.
Seashells 03:51
Snuff the voice the boils beneath Your throat that tries to scream and cry Split the difference and you'll see Your circuitry wash out to sea, look out Punch the picture perfect fragments Of the past that never last So sorry your pity part was a bust, it's just The scent of your content was spent on the rent Swallowed by the stairs, there's no air What's underneath your barbed wire teeth Pleading to be free of the rest of this endless jest True love torn on the shore Adorning the floor of the world Just seashells left behind Make a movie starring your dependency on lunacy I forgot a lot but not enough to fully blind my mind just yet What's the word, I haven't heard Hopelessly blurred beyond absurd Climb aboard this rusty sword Repeat the sequence of infrequency Never call your friends again Only when you've exhausted all your words (Chorus)
6.
I felt your sliver of a memory I felt it all rain down like autumn leaves Your sweater was too big I held your hand through the sleeve I found the things you wrote about me Beneath a dusty pile of your mix CDs I hate to admit it but I do see what you mean Whispering gibberish secrets Just so we feel like we have something to hide We told lies Leave me at the bus stop My heart was in a hit and run Cause you drove off while my words were caught in my throat
7.
There's something on your mind But you say nothing It eats you up inside And you just feed it like a pet I don't claim to know If it's wrong or right I'm just saying it shows Won't you switch on your light? Laying out in the backyard Waiting for the sound of your car Will the day end before you're back again From where you say you've been? Cue the sci-fi sounds I'll turn the lights out We're aliens in love Fighting for what we believe This is how I try to let you know The real world's still outside But we can make our own sometimes

Drummer Dick 01:30
His name is Drummer Dick He slaps the skins with two fish sticks He walks with me through the grocery store And tries to hold my hand He tells me he's a god He's the god of pot pie juice He played at Disneyland He's in a 4-piece Manwich band Their bassist has no hands I don't know where I am The dog is on the phone Blowing up your sister's voicemail I am so confused My dinner starts to dance It has really nice legs I need to go lay down
9.
Stifled by the static as it submerges my sound If I let it consume me I never will be found Wandering these old streets just doesn't feel the same I'm squatting in a condemned house on memory lane Rubber band guitar strings on an old shoe box Singing the blues I picked up a little down the block The clouds are trying to suffocate the sun like snakes While I'm squatting in a condemned house on memory lane
10.
Take another breath of air while it's still there I am choking at the sight of where I spent last night I keep creeping toward a loose board on the floor Under which I hope I'll find my heart Take my pulse I'll tell you if it's false Drawing things on the walls that I can't explain Don't you blink I'm running out of ink Much faster than you think, I'll fade with the day I complain that I'm alone, then don't answer my phone What is there even to say, I just can't find my way
11.
I'm up with the sunrise It feels like I have never seen the sky You stole the show I believed all the lies I thought I could hold on to for a time Before you go I never wanted to fly In fact I like taking my time If it were up to me I'd never fall in love ever again If this is so long What good were all my songs If you leave me behind, I'll leave you ahead I've stayed up too long What's just one more song? If you leave me behind, I'll stay back in time I never thought I'd wanna die or cry or really even try I guess you know Until I sensed that we made sense If not intense, it was immense But there I go (Chorus)
12.
Inclination, chemical collection Machination without meaning Don't be sorry, afterlife Atari Under ceiling glow star skies Squeaky Sam The Reptoid Man Shakes the whole world with a belly flop Bored vacation, massive consternation Blurred inflation, diagonal eyes Ink blot inflammation corporation Sneaking empty words in your dreams Mental indigestion insurrection Push and pull a termite soul What the flip is dripping from your lips Sip the whispers that slip inside Scream Between the frequencies My thoughts flood a nonsense stream
