Do you remember my hands around your throat
You begged me, begged me to let you go
Hand up my skirt, tore me to shreds
And you fucking begged me to get my hands off your neck
Baseless, baseless
It’s all just baseless
You’re not that kind of guy
Keep on praying to Jesus
You can take it up with God
Remember when you said that I was fucking crazy
Like what did I expect on a Saturday night
You’re begging on your knees and you’re calling me baby
You’re fucking lucky I let you walk out alive
You couldn’t even get me in my sleep
Baseless, baseless
It’s all just baseless
You’re not that kind of guy
Keep on praying to Jesus
You can take it up with God
Save your words
No one asked you to write some letter
How could you think explaining yourself
Could ever make this any better
Save your defences
I don’t wanna hear your pleads
I wanna be an asshole, I wanna get even
I wanna hear you scream
Baseless, baseless
It’s all just baseless
You’re not that kind of guy
Keep on praying to Jesus
You can take it up with God
Baseless, baseless
It’s all just baseless
Not that kind of guy
Keep on praying to Jesus
You can take it up with God
Baseless, baseless
It’s all just baseless
You’re not that kind of guy
Keep on praying to Jesus
You can take it up with God

The Moon
03:56
|

Do you remember taking me into your room
Playing songs on your guitar
Broken strings under the moon
And you bring up all the people you know
Forget to mention
They don’t like you anymore
And now you hear I’m writing songs and you’re telling everyone
I’m still in love with you
How does it feel to know you only exist in my past?
How does it feel to learn life comes at you fast?
No I didn’t want another drink or go to another bar
It’s too late and I got tired of telling myself that we’ll go far
I think of you sometimes when they say something perfect
And I wonder if you wanted to say it to me
Or if you liked to keep my dangling up on your hook
Watch me bleed out in the water for the sharks
No I don’t wanna go to your show where you’ll ignore me the whole time
And call me after it’s been done asking me to stay the night
I hope one day you find what you’re looking for
If it was me, you would’ve known long ago
But I can’t wait for change to come
It’s like waiting at a train station for a train that doesn’t run
You’re a train that doesn’t run

Birth By Sleep
03:20
|
|||
I come alive when you fall asleep
It’s just a distraction
I live in your dreams
Oh no baby, you found yourself
In love with a concept again
Oh no, I think you went and
Lost what’s in your head
You say you want me
But I’m a figment in your phone screen
You miss what you created
To forget how lonely life can be
Another person
The best intentions
You fell in love with someone you designed
I come alive when you fall asleep
It’s just a distraction
I live in your dreams
Get me out of this sad scene
I gotta escape it
I live in your dreams
How many nice guys does it take
To screw in a light bulb
Just one to do it
And fifteen to cry they didn’t get a chance to try it
Let me guess I remind you
Of someone you saw in the movies
I’m not some fucking dream girl
That needs your god damn fixing
Another person
The best intentions
You fell in love with someone you designed
I come alive when you fall asleep
It’s just a distraction
I live in your dreams
Get me out of this sad scene
I gotta escape it
I live in your dreams
Oh no baby, you found yourself
In love with a concept again
Oh no, I think you went and
Lost what’s in your head
I come alive when you fall asleep
It’s just a distraction
I live in your dreams
Get me out of this sad scene
I gotta escape it
I live in your dreams
I come alive when you fall asleep
It’s just a distraction
I live in your dreams
Get me out of this sad scene
I gotta escape it
I live in your dreams
I live in your dreams

Fall In Love
04:14
|
|||
I’ve seen boys like you a million times before
You’ll ask for inches
And take some miles
And you won’t want me anymore
Your perfect smile
Hides your crooked teeth
I’ve seen you bite your tongue
Instead of say what you need to me
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love with you
It took so long for me to remember
No other person can bring a flame to these embers
And you look like someone ready to go on the run
You’re not as bright as you made me believe
You’re just a fragment of the sun
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love with you
I’ve seen boys like you a million times before
You’ll ask for inches
And take some miles
And you won’t want me anymore
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love
I don’t wanna fall in love with you

Heavy To Hold
04:15
|
|||
You love to watch them slip through your fingers
Like crushing flowers in your hands
Watch the petals fall away
Watching them walk away
You’ve always been something you don’t understand
And I know that your feelings
Are like a language you keep speaking
But you can’t hear the words
And I know you’ve never felt grown in your body
A heartbroken child endlessly wandering
When you look at yourself, what do you see?
Cause this world is fleeting
And this life moves fast
If there’s one thing you learn
It’s that not all towers were built to last
You’re certain that it’s rotten work to love you
Forgotten flowers pressed in pages
Drying in the seams
Do you still think you can be saved?
Or are you so in love with your pain?
I know that you wanna be screaming
It feels like you’re falling when you should be dreaming
Will you ever just let it all go?
I know your heart’s always breaking
Feels like your chest is constantly caving
When you breathe in, do you hold your breath?
Cause this world is fleeting
And this life moves fast
If there’s one thing for sure
What will come will always pass
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy

Off With Yr Head
02:31
|
|||
I don’t see how
You came back from the dead
I thought we killed you
I saw them take off your head
Lured me in
Saccharine sweet, poison tongue
I saved myself, oh yes I did
And I know I’m not the only one
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself
And I know hundreds of people
Who have been hurt by people like you
Push a wounded animal into a corner
What did you expect it to do?
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself
I don’t need you
I learned to love myself

Burn Yr House Down
02:13
|
|||
Don’t you think if I could rip the skin off my bones
And burn every nerve I have
Just to forget how it felt to be touched by you
I would’ve done it by now
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House Down
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House down
I will never let you forget
And you will never get a moment’s rest
Until you can’t take a step outside
Without hearing my name or seeing my face
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House down
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House Down
I wish I could rip out
Every one of your teeth
And replace them with barbed wire
So you will never eat
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House down
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House Down
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House down
I think I’m gonna
Burn your
House Down

Say It
03:16
|
|||
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Why won’t you say it?
What if I told you
I can’t do this anymore?
What if you told me
Something you’ve never said before?
I hope nobody loves you
The way that I did
I don’t think anyone deserves
The pain that I’m in
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Why won’t you say it?
There’s a rattle in my chest
An ache in my bones
Whenever you come near
Because to me, you feel like home
And I can’t bear to lose
What I barely have
And you won’t lose a wink of sleep
That’s what makes this sad
It makes it sad
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Just say it
I don’t think that you love me
Why won’t you say it?

Chapel
03:28
|
|||
I’ll be a chapel in your hospital
And I’ll hold all the prayers you give me
And I know which ones get left behind
I don’t know what will become of me
Without you to keep me singing
But I know I love you, I love you so
It’s not my fault I fell so far in
Please don’t blame me for missing a step
Please don’t leave me on my own
Who will I be, who will I be?
And I don’t know how long I’ll be your baby
You’re gonna have to cut the strings
You will have to learn to let me go eventually
It’s not my fault I fell so far in
Please don’t blame me for missing a step
Please don’t leave me on my own
Who will I be, who will I be?
But I know I love you, I love you so
I know I love you, I love you so
I know I love you, I love you so
I know I love you, I love you
It’s not my fault I fell so far in
Please don’t blame me for missing a step
Please don’t leave me on my own
Who will I be, who will I be?
Who will I be, who will I be?
I love you
I love you so

Imagine The Ending
07:45
|
|||
I’m walking home
Bloody knuckles, bloody nose
It’s not a long walk from the park
Just long enough to think of this and break my heart
There’s are nights I don’t remember
Days and weeks are lost to time
I feel so much older now
Wondering when I’ll have something to call mine
It’s the sidewalk cracks and train tracks
Sounds of people braver than me
Falling in love and falling asleep
I can’t close my eyes, I feel paralyzed
Stuck thinking about so much I can’t control
But it’s home to me when I’m remembering things
We’re sitting on the mountain and you don’t even know
These are the things I will never let go of
Lost nights wandering down Main Street
Abandoning the people we said we would meet
Running around, making messes of each other
And I know in my heart, I will never get another
Chance like this
In basements talking shit
And I’ll admit, I never thought
I would ever be this lucky
There’s so much I can’t live without
And now I think that I’m scared to die
Cause there’s so much more left of this life
How could I be without you all
When you’re all that I have?
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
You all helped me find my heart
Ripped it out from under the floor
It’s beating in my ears now
Louder than ever before
Who could go through life without you?
You don’t know how you saved me
Trust me, I do
Trust me, I do
And when we sing this song
I hope you all remember
All the moments we shared
Singing Last December
You saved me when I needed it
Pulled me out of the water
I didn’t know I was drowning
I didn’t know I was drowning
And now I think that I’m scared to die
Cause there’s so much more left of this life
How could I be without you all
When you’re all that I have?
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
I can’t imagine the ending
--------
I want to be absolved
I would hate to lose you
But I can’t love you the way you deserve to be loved
I can’t see you, I don’t even know what I saw
There’s so many things I have to do
There’s so many things I have to change
I have to leave you
I want to be absolved
I would hate to lose you
Some things can’t be solved
The greatest mystery is you
I want to be absolved
I would hate to lose you
Some things can’t be solved
The greatest mystery is you
