Against All Else
02:59

Brain cells rusting, bodies lusting
Audience it's me against all else
The bitter and the cold
Chain react your satisfaction
Pushing through to do what you couldn't do
The story must be told
Well don't go thinking that it's all your fault
But don't blame me for what you lost
Combine our minds to find
The missing link of time
But just realize to read between the lines
Falling faster towards disaster
Punch me out and shut me down, I've reached
The reasons for my end
All this pain goes down the drain
Your smiling face will fill the space I've saved
You've no need to pretend, no
Well don't go thinking that it's all your fault
But don't blame me for what you lost
Combine our minds to find
The missing link of time
But just realize to read between the lines
Oh, the Earth is turning faster than I can
Determine how long it's been since you and I
Keep your distance, for instance, I'm fine
I'm lying, I'm dying
'Cause I still miss you
Well don't go thinking that it's all your fault (all your fault)
But don't blame me for what you lost (what you lost)
Combine our minds to find
The missing link of time
But just realize to read between the lines

Scotch Tape
04:43

Staring through the wall and hoping
I will not feel anything at all
When I fall on my face
Waiting down the hall and praying
For my final curtain call, I stall
And watch you walk away
'Cause it's just so hard to be myself around you
And I'd love to say I was the one who found you
But I taste blood when we're alone
I've been fixing bones inside my broken body
With scotch tape and some coffee
Still paying for my flaws
I'm drinking isopropyl alcohol
Fuck it all
I don't think I should owe you anything
But my life
I don't think you should argue anything
I already know you're right
Drive my naked eye
Beside these short sarcastic power lines
It's fine, I don't mind
Anymore
Buildings left behind
Inside our melted plastic paradigm
There's no time
I don't think I should owe you anything
But my life
I don't think you should argue anything
I already know you're right
Waiting in the walls and praying
For my feeling anything at all
When I fall
Out of place
Staying for your call, I'm sitting
Fixing bones inside my broken body
With scotch, tape, and some coffee
I don't think I should owe you anything
But my life
I don't think you should argue anything
I already know you're right

Another side effect
A complication of involvement, indirect
I don't know what the world would expect
Dearest dependency
A common option for the common man lost at sea
The writing on the wall wasn't cheap
Halfway to hell and back
Can't help but realize just how long I've been off track
I didn't think of how you'd react
A static state of mind
A sudden breakthrough, a final fatal find
I know I'm not the first of my kind
But I just wish for a break in the rain
Nothing's ever quite the same
When they're wearing out your name but you
Can't complain, no
And it's too late now to keep counting the days
Either justify the phase
Or re-customize my fate, god damn
I can barely stay awake
Bending until I break
Can't seem to comprehend how much is still at stake
I'm thinking positively even though my memory feels fake
Caught up on Walnut Street
Layers of shamefulness surrounded by sheer conceit
Kinda scared of when my antihero character comes clean
But I just wish for a break in the rain
Nothing's ever quite the same
When they're wearing out your name but you
Can't complain, no
And it's too late now to keep counting the days
Either justify the phase
Or re-customize my fate
Even when I try and concentrate
I just can't stay awake
In this rain

Waterfall

Covered at the station
Yet another iteration
Staring out your window
Never cared about your kinfolk
One time I told a little story
But it seems you didn't get the allegory
It's not the fault of the waterfall for calling me in
The candy coated your every flaw with sugary skin
Mixing tequila with tylenol
Absolving my innocence, I sense, has long since been missing
Renovations are underway
But I grew complacent the other day
I'm still picking at the process
Wishing for a little progress
Meanwhile I'm drowning in the details
And I'm sounding off in psycho-therapeutic emails
It's not the fault of the waterfall for calling me in
The candy coated your every flaw with sugary skin
Mixing tequila with tylenol
Absolving my innocence, I sense, has long since been missing
It's not the fault of the waterfall for calling me in
The candy coated your every flaw with sugary skin
Mixing tequila with tylenol
Absolving my innocence, I sense, has long since been missing
Somebody help me
It's not the fault of the waterfall for calling me in
The candy coated your every flaw with sugary skin
Mixing tequila with some tylenol
Absolving my innocence, I sense, has long since been missing
