Wasted Life 05:10
When your mind takes over again You can find comfort under your bed Safety of the walls allows you to swim Through the rivers ahead, rivers ahead Could you give me one more night to try to make things alright? Living in a merry-go-round, framed upside down Could you give me one more night to try to make things alright? Living in a merry-go-round, framed upside down Could you give me one more night to try to make things alright? Living in a merry-go-round, framed upside down Could you give me one more night to try to make things alright? Living in a merry-go-round, framed upside down Wasted life, you were never ahead Wasted mind, you never thought again Wasted legs, always sitting around Wasted eyes, always looking down How to waste a life: Trying to be something less temporary How to waste a life: Trying to be something less temporary How to waste a life: Sleep through the night, it's only a third of your life How to waste a life: Trying to be (a 9 to 5) something less temporary (some screen time) How to waste a life: Trying to be something less temporary How to waste a life

Insurance 03:02
Locked up in my bed like a prisoner Don't care if I dream or you interrupt Walking around in my head again tonight Don't know if things are gonna be alright And when the surgery finally starts, your insurance is gone so they operate in dark And when the surgery finally starts, your insurance is gone so they operate in dark Do the test like I'm an experiment (It's just a science fair, experiment) Don't worry about my health I'll take the fear of it (A brand new SSRI the fear of it) Walking around In my head again tonight (Electroshock before bed again tonight) Lost every sign that I'll be alright (2 ccs and I'm high on it'll be alright) And when the treatments suppose to begin, they will put it on hold cause they don't care if you live And when the treatments suppose to begin, they will put it on hold cause they don't care if you live Name a price, it'll only save a life Call it quits whenever you'd like Name a price, it'll only save a life Call it quits whenever you'd like I have some change, will that be enough? Is it too late? I really need to save myself I have some change, will that be enough? Is it too late? I really need to save myself

Ever wander through transparent grass, and come to see an empty tree? Ever crawl through the fields of misery, and come to find that it's really a dream? A nightmare on ice 'til the end of the week A nightmare on ice is a desert for the greed The dreams are made for those who aren't elite To give them hope of a world they'll never see A world they'll never see So set it down and be happy The dreams aren't so bad if they'll let you believe But who's been captured is saying these things If you see transparent grass ignore the trees, it's too late for me

I have seen the snow fall hard on a summer's day Could you bury your feelings where the snow won't melt away? Been melting on a wall since winter's day Could you cover up that secret with a fresh coat of paint? I have watched summer turn to winter nights, a sun beaten by the moonlight I have heard the crisp fall into spring, a sudden gloom to a sprout of trees I don't really want to freeze (want to freeze?) I want to feel like the melting leaves (melting leaves) Floating from the rainy eaves (rainy eaves) Into the ground that becomes a sea (becomes a sea) I don't really want to fight (want to fight?) I want to grow with the moonlight (the moonlight) I don't really want to dance (want to dance?) I want to dream with the carpenter ants I have seen the leaves fall down on a spring morning Could you pick up your sadness and throw it in a bag? Been hidden in the ceiling since the first fall day Could you keep it a secret with some crown moulding? Seen the grass grow during the fall at your home Hardwood floor mossed and stoned, a garden in a living room Forest in a hallway trying to stunt its growth Drywall ignored and soaked, watch the mold begin to grow The sound I never really could see, was stuck in a nightmare The sand I never really could feel, is there a piano right there?

It's one more night that we have on the road It's one more night before we get through the tunnel Another day until we hitch the coast I found out it's cold It's one more night that we have on the road, one more night that we have on the road One more day more day ignoring other struggles (one more night that we have on the road) We're afraid to talk about the subjects that aren't comfortable (one more, one more) Another night progress gets behind While the stubbornness it shines Just one more life of an incompetent mind, one more life of an incompetent mind One more day left in the desert Have to fly tomorrow trying to keep myself together

Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Running in slow motion Another distant day Gone inward to think about the trap that we made (my town is under deep water) Enjoying sunny days and hide away while my mind decays (my town is under deep water) We're so enraged (my town it drowns, it's under deep water) It's all the same (my town it drowns, it's under deep water) We want to change (my town it drowns, it's under deep water) But this here cage (my town is under deep water) It locks for days (my town is under deep water) There's no escape (my town is under deep water) Until habits break (my town is under deep water)

The ones in the middle are always alone Paints with a brush, even though they can roll But they know it's a game, and they're just trying to cope Too blind to see that their greed will cost hope Everyone walks around, walks around in a disguise Anything we've been told, we've been told has all been lie In the echoes of the night they wash up on shore Too quiet to see, too strange to ignore But they can't name this place, a world they don't know Too new to speak, too weak to follow Everyone runs from town, runs from town traumatized All the lies they told, lies they told and won't apologize
8.
Wash away the hateful days for it's the rabbit's game you play Walk along with energy, but don't forget what makes you sing This time the guilt will land on you This time the guilt will land on you (You know it's true) This time the guilt will land on you This time the guilt will land on you (You know it's true) Blind eyes to your enemies won't allow your heart to sway Now you're caught in this game with no way to escape This time the guilt will land on you This time the guilt will land on you (You know it's true) This time the guilt will land on you This time the guilt will land on you (You know it's true)
