Anthem (free) 04:53
I'd like to meet your friends If you can bring them outside your head I don't bite you can tell them But I'll exterminate our mutual pains Loneliness sent you here To see if I have lost mind I've told you before, I don't need you here In my eyes, in my head, get out of my way Loneliness sent you here To kill away the rest of me Loneliness is my anthem Loneliness is my anthem How are you, my darling? Stretch your legs its time to run I'm being chased by a bear All he wants is a better day Seems to me you can fight him Imma call you to arms, take him outside Before you kill the bear, ask him if he knows What it means to take a life Loneliness sent you here To kill away the rest of me Loneliness is my anthem Loneliness is my anthem And if I try, you will remind me of the Things I have to live for And I don't care how I live As long as I share it with you Loneliness is my anthem

Tinted Windows (free) 04:27
Drawing conclusions from half-written thoughts Half-written memories of what you are not Black and gray, white is gone Everyone has done some wrong Things would make more sense if I lost it, if I lost it Lend me a window, lend me a window I'll tint the glass how I like You get the window and I'll get the door It doesn't bother me no more It doesn't bother me no more Tunnel vision; you put your head on my shoulder It doesn't mean what it does I don't believe you because I've seen you lie before I've seen you lie before I've seen you lie before So lend me a window, lend me a window I'll tint the glass how I like You get the window and I'll get the door It doesn't bother me no more It doesn't bother me no more

No Way (free) 04:31
When you call me down to your level I lose control over what I know Seeking out my flaws to make me appear like I am less than you… but I can tell you No way, I will make you repay me for what You made me do to my friends, to my life, there’s no Hope for you, and there’s not much you can do now that You have shown us what you’re capable of And when you kiss me I’ll be looking for Someone else who I cannot ignore Don’t hold me tighter, you’re no fighter I don’t need to see you anymore Can’t seem to believe anything you’ve told me I’m not used to seeing my self like this You don’t understand what you’ve done, and you’ve caused me to Do to myself… now I say No way, I will make you repay me for what You made me do to my friends, to my life, there’s no Hope for you, and there’s not much you can do now that You have shown us what you’re capable of And when you kiss me I’ll be looking for Someone else who I cannot ignore Don’t hold me tighter, you’re no fighter I don’t need to see you anymore And when you kiss me I’ll be looking for Someone else who I cannot ignore Don’t hold me tighter, you’re no fighter I don’t need to see you anymore

Please Believe Me (free) 05:45
You don’t know me I’m no animal You can’t see me I’m no machine You can’t blame me It’s your fault you care, not my own You can’t fix me I’m not broken Please believe me Don’t wanna hurt you Don’t wanna stay here Please believe me I’m breakin out You don’t know me Or my problems I don’t need you On my shoulder You put the blame On me But it’s a shame You wont listen Please believe me Don’t wanna hurt you Don’t wanna stay here Please believe me I’m breakin out It’s your pain, not mine It’s your game, not mine It’s your pain, not mine It’s your game, not mine

No One Will Wonder Why (free) 03:58
Take a break from the volume Before we all lose our heads It's a spiral, my friend And you're going the wrong way Can you stand what you are You're a glistening blob of shit I am not entertained By what you have to offer me now You can stop when you want No one will wonder why Stay away from 300 Glistening men and violence turn you on No one can stand you now I can see where you're going next I am not entertained By what you have to offer me now You can stop when you want No one will wonder why I said no one will wonder why I said no one will wonder No one will wonder No one will wonder why

Not the Same (free) 05:31
I can't tell if you are what I need I can't see any farther than you can Won't you come away from this mess You don't see what I could do while you're gone And I'm sorry if you don't believe me I understand but I cannot pretend I don't want you to stress over this mess But it's hard not to care It's not the same Sleep tight as my roommate has his share I choke on my own craving for Please let me sleep I can't enjoy myself like that Just take me away from this hellhole And I reach for my weed and I prepare to Compensate for how much longer it will be Before I can say that you're my own Oh no Its not the same I can't tell if you are what I need And I can't see any farther than you can

I open the window And the world tells me to close up Now that I've had my share And all I remember is blue and brown Just like your eyes I'm feeling so blind Just like your eyes And I turn the lights on And I think I can make out your face Against a colourful backdrop And you're looking warmer than you are Colder than I can withstand You're looking warmer than you are Colder than I can withstand You're the one who's upside down I'm not crazy I just found myself In a place where you're not Let me gaze into your eyes So I can see through your disguise But all I see is my reflection I enter the doorway And a million fragments of nothing Stop me before I can look around At all of the notebooks Inside your head Everything's dead Inside your head You're the one who's upside down I'm not crazy I just found myself In a place where you're not Let me gaze into your eyes So I can see through your disguise But all I see is my reflection Tell me I'm wrong, nothing hurts this bad I'm too far away Tell me I'm wrong, I've done nothing right You're the one who's upside down I'm not crazy I just found myself In a place where you're not Let me gaze into your eyes So I can see through your disguise But all I see is my reflection I open the window And the world tells me to close up Now that I've had my share And all I remember is blue and brown Just like your eyes I'm feeling so blind Just like your eyes

Looking Up (free) 04:11
What makes you think Makes you lose your mind You will run out Before you run out of time He hears his life in reverse His lucid mind is his curse Watch him get in a box And pay attention to clocks He drowns himself everywhere He refuses the air He doesn't need to fly The lake's as good as the sky Looking up Looking up He doesn't need to fly The lake's as good as the sky Ties a brick to his feet Steps away from the street At the edge of the bridge he looks down He looks down He looks down ...and he sees himself And he sees himself looking up When he falls, when he falls When he falls, he'll be able to see He will become the symmetry

Sunblock (free) 03:59
All of the things I've said And all of the things I've done Nothing matters now cuz You can't understand what I am trying not to say to you I don't know how long I can keep this up I give up I don't see how you could believe me if I Told you how I feel Why don't you just turn around and Get out of the light, out of my life Stop blocking out the sun Can't hold me down forever, I will escape Can't hold me down forever, I will escape Can't hold me down forever, I will escape Can't hold me down forever, I will escape All of the things I've done And all of the things I've said Nothing matters now

To Us (free) 04:25
I'm so cold when her other half is there Fighting through the smoke, fighting isn't fair Can't look at her face for fear that I'll see something I pretend not to care She belongs to him Come to your place - it's all uphill Pushing through the pavement, I am pushing still We made everything I had been missing It took too long to go beyond the kissing I belong to her Drums are beating and screams are the background But we can't hear them over the primal sound The room becomes a battlefield and blazing sun devours me Loose this war and win what I will always need We belong to us We belong to us We belong to us
