1.Figure It Out

With a swerve, my eyes avert
My mouth somehow forgets to work
So I stare until you shout
Wondering why you can't figure me out

With a change, I call the names
I'm spitting out words, hoping it works
Still I stare while they all shout
Why can't I even figure it out?

The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be

With my fate, my thoughts erase
My head's a blur, the picture fades
My eyes, they keep on shutting down
I can't see why you won't figure me out

The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be

Why can't you figure me out?
With a twist
My mind has missed
You said That I forget

The time I'm wasting
Can't say where I've been
Catching my same old way
Slowly spin beneath the day
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
Nothing's what it's ever meant to be
Your time I'm wasting
Can't say where we've been
Cause it seems to me that
No ones ever who theyre meant to be


2.Mind Reader

Hey, Mind Reader
You know what I feel before I speak
It always seems you got a one up me
Have a worse for me
Is that what you need?
I've got it all and you've got nothing
Hey, Mind Reader
Bet you didn't see this one coming
'Cause your eyes are never open
I've said sorry, you just mock me
And I'm ready to throw this up and away
I'm not able Able to say
Don't let me get away
I haven't been honest either
We could use each other
Don't let me get away
I'm not getting any better
We could use each other
(Don't let me get away)

Hey, Mind Reader
Just as soon as I leave the room
My stomach drops, my guts I lose
I'm not the type to follow through
But you knew that, didn't you?
Hey, Mind Reader
Quick steps, reality check
I might be gone before you're back
You bite your nails at the thought of that
Just tell my off And let me hear you say
Are you able Able to stay?
Don't let me get away
I haven't been honest either
We could use each other
Don't let me get away
I'm not getting any better
We could use each other
(Don't let me get away)
Start speaking your mind-reading
You can't keep me out Believe it
Start speaking Say what you mean
No lies tucked in between your teeth
(Don't let me get away)
Don't let me get away
(Don't let me get away)
Don't let me get away
Don't let me get away
I haven't been honest either
We could use each other
Don't let me get away
I'm not getting any better
We could use each other
(Don't let me get away)
Don't let me get away
We could use each other
Don't let me get away
Hey, Mind Reader


3.Fixed At Zero

This doesn't make much sense
Think far out but I'm still locked in
I'm still lost, walking circles
The floor swallowed me up whole
There's no where to go

There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero

I've learned to talk with my fingers
The only that voice that wakes my ears
Oh make my bones do something
Ever wanna jump out your skin
Anticipate until the sidewalk ends
There's no where to go
There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero

There's a vulture on my shoulder
And he's telling me to give in
Always hissing right in my ear
Like it's coming from my own head
It's got me mixed up, trying not to give up
Tell me there's a way to get out of here
Oh, fixed at zero

Fixed at zero X 2


4.You'll Never Know

You'll never know
I didn't want it to go the way it went
South. Not a word from my mouth
But from the moment I shook your hand
I was determined
When I'm near you I don't speak, I barely look
I'm afraid you'll see it in my face
Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
I never stick, so how'd you get me stuck in this
Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
And now I wish you never got me stuck in this
But it won't show and you'll never know
I'll lay low and you'll never know

You'll never know
But my left brain took the wrong things
East, you've got me all crazy
Come off lazy but I'm more alive on the inside
When I'm near you I can't speak, I never look
I'm afraid you'll see it in my face
Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
I never stick, so how'd you get me stuck in this
Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
And now I wish you never got me stuck in this
But it won't show and you'll never know
I'll lay low and you'll never know
I was smiling like a lion
Buried myself inside your neck
Oh west, clawed my hands around your chest
North with some regret
I've never felt like this

Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
I never stick, so how'd you get me stuck in this
Each time it, honey, drips right off of my lips
And now I wish you never got me stuck in this
But it won't show and you'll never know
I'll lay low and you'll never know


5.Stranger

It's so easy when you're fake believing
Untruly speaking, wrecking feelings
It's so easy sparking opposite ends
Fighting the good within, hiding my reasons

Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can't trust in you
'Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into quicksand
Isn't my good side worth rescuing?

It's not easy admitting your demons
Tangled up in seasons
Finding lame reasons
I can't fall asleep but I sure can dream

Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can't trust in you
'Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into quicksand
Isn't my good side worth rescuing?

I always flip myself into a shape I can't make
Thinking so hard about who we really are
You spark the good within
But I was never good at listening
Listen until you're gone

Stranger I know so well
You got me tripping over myself
Can't trust in you
'Cause as I reach for your hand
I still sink into quicksand
Isn't my good side worth rescuing?
Stranger I know so well ...
Isn't my good side worth rescuing?


6.Redesign Me

If you were still around,
You'd tell me that I'm different,
Since the last time you called me out,
I'd put you down,
I'd tell you it's a waste of time,
To keep you by my side.
If you were still around,
I swear,We would sit and stare,
We would be no where.
Until this day,
I look for what it's gonna take,
To just make things be,
But still today I wonder is it,
You or me who should feel guilty,
I pull it up, Push it up,
Put it in, Out of my mind,
I thought that I had said, Goodbye.

If you were still around,
You would tell me that you're sorry,
But you don't know what you're sorry about,
I'd keep to myself, Keep you guessing,
Make you question if it's ever gonna work itself out.
If you were still around,
I swear, We would sit and stare,
We would be no where.
Until this day,
I look for what it's gonna take,
To just make things be,
But still today I wonder is it,
You or me who should feel guilty,
I pull it up, Push it up,
Put it in, Out of my mind,
I thought that I had said, Goodbye.

Light still haunts me,
Yeah it still haunts me,
Yeah it still haunts me.

Until this day,
I look for what it's gonna take,
To just make things be,
But still today I wonder is it,
You or me who should feel guilty,
I pull it up, Push it up,
Put it in, Out of my mind, yeah,
I thought that I had said, Goodbye.


7.Fire (Aim Your Arrows High)

Take a look around
Our time's almost running out
Give back what you get
Uproot questions in your head
The looking glass is clear
What you want is near

Shoot out all the lights
Hold your ground, we'll hit the sky
It's time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt
Cast it out, lets do it now
It's time we aim our arrows high
Sewn into your soul
This is out of our control
Be who you need to be
There's no other you or me
The looking glass is clear
What you want is near

Shoot out all the lights
Hold your ground, we'll hit the sky
It's time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt
Cast it out, lets do it now
It's time we aim our arrows high
The angst you hold
You gotta let it go, let it go
Said to myself I'm so alone,
but I'm never alone
I walk in war to find the impossible
Yes, we're hexed, stuck in a mess
We're all such a wreck
Shoot out all the lights
Hold your ground, we'll hit the sky
It's time you aim your arrows high
Take down all the doubt
Cast it out, lets do it now
It's time we aim our arrows high
Shoot out all the lights
Shoot out all the lights
Aim your arrows high
Aim your arrows high


8.Up There

There's something, Up there,
It slipped out the cracks of my lips,
There's something, Up there,
It slipped through the cracks.
I saw it, From the corner of my eye,
There's something, Up there,
It slipped through the cracks, I swear.

No one believes me,
I can't even trust me,
The dark's deceiving,
Blame it on the television.

There's something, Up there,
It slipped out the cracks of my lips,
I saw it, From the corner of my eye,
It's not just in my head.
No one believes me,
I can't even trust me,
The dark's deceiving,
Blame it on the television.
No one believes me,
I can't even trust me,
The dark's deceiving,
Blame it on the television.

Medicated dreams,
A feeling I call 'lonely',
Medicated dreams,
A feeling I call 'lonely'.
A noisy repeat, A twist in my sheets,
It's chilling my room,
I can't sleep, I only stare,
Is it really there?
I swear...

No one believes me,
I can't even trust me,
The dark's deceiving,
Blame it on the television.
No one believes me,
I can't even trust me,
The dark's deceiving,
Blame it on the television.
Blame it on the television.


9.Your Own Lov.E.

(Make your own love, love, love)

The waterworks blocked his words,
He felt sorry,
Well I'm sorry for me too.
But I think you're broken to the fact,
I can't and won't go back,
I think you're broken to the fact.
You make your own love.
Yeah you make your own love.
Love, love.
Where did you go?
Don't you know I'm still here?
You think you're better all alone.

No, I think you're broken to the fact,
I can't and won't go back,
Yeah, I think you're broken to the fact.
You make your own love.
Yeah you make your own love.
Love, love.
What if it's all a quick dream,
Can I just stomp right through the concrete,
See who's beneath me,
And are you honest to 'God' when you speak?
When you seek proof,
Does it hide from you?
I wanna feel the way you claim to feel.

You make your own love.
Yeah you make your own love.
Love, love, love.


10.Mythology

I've looked right past the simple things
What have my eyes missed?
Stuck in a space where nothing seems to fit
You live a myth, obsessed with it
Quiet as the sound
I'm always asking what it means
And now I can't stop twisting round and round
I've grown into this
This myth with you
I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Distorting my insides
I won't forget I'm drenched in it
'Cause I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Tangled words were never mine
I won't forget I'm lost in it
Slowly bending backwards
Til my days become misshaped
You deftly sway my thoughts with your fictitious ways
Nothing in me works the same
You've got a lot to explain
Still I'm asking
And still I can't stop twisting
I've grown into this myth with you

I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Distorting my insides
I won't forget I'm drenched in it
'Cause I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Tangled words were never mine
I won't forget I'm lost in it

Knots and crosses Skews
I fold in two
With this road we take
I've lost all control of everything, especially me
You've lost everything especially me
You bite my tongue Now I believe
I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Distorting my insides
I won't forget I'm drenched in it
'Cause I can't stop twisting around this storyline
Tangled words were never mine
I won't forget I'm lost in it


11.Lost Tree

Thier arms, they reach,
They branch like they're trying to catch me,
They stand so tirelessy,
Outgrown, the sides of roads,
Are mixed in gold,
The summer has me,
The summer has me sold.
I see the hints, Just picture it,
Craving to witness,
But we blinked and missed it,
Beg to the sky,
Long days and all night,
Beg to the sky,
Long days and all night.
Here we are, Rooted deep.
Looking up, So sun sweet,
Until the fall, We lose it all
Here we are.

Thin and bare, Stuck in the stiff stare,
I wait up in the air,
That makes it all fair,
We stop and grow and stop and grow,
We co-exist, flourished and sun kissed.
Anything you'd like,
Your back road eyes,
They're getting dry and unnatural smile,
You're lost in this place,
I see it in your face,
Lost in this place,
I see it in your face.
Here we are, Rooted deep.
Looking up, So sun sweet,
Until the fall, We lose it all
Here we are.

There's a vulture on my shoulder.
The time I'm wasting,
Can't say where I've been.
Hey, mind reader,
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away.
(You'll never know)
Stranger I know so well.
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away.
Blame it on the television.
You make your own love.
I'm pulling, I'm pushing,
I'm putting it out of my mind.
We aim our arrows high,
Oh dear, I've worked with father sky,
So why don't we just go?
Don't let me get away,
Don't let me get away,
(So why don't we just go?)
I'm lost in it,
There's a vulture on my shoulder,
Don't let me get away,
I'm lost in it,
So lost in it.
