Wearing Thin 02:14
I am the echo of all your bravo When the crowd is wearing thin I am the impact of years gone by too fast While the cracks were widening I am the moth that's smacking the lightbulb Cause I've got nowhere else to go I am the black hole that you call home For reasons still unknown For reasons still unknown I am the let down that brings you back to ground And I am the strength in your convictions I am the instincts that stop you from drowning Though you get reckless all the time I am the warning that's flashing up urgent When you're avoiding yourself again And I am the fortune that says boy keep on working Cause there's a payoff for you in the end For reasons still unknown

Everything's Good It goes exactly as it should And I refuse to get anxious About all the things I must of missed Everything hurts Feels like my body don't work But I refuse to get too down It's just a nuisance to me now

Oh Annie, you shouldn't have tried to destroy me I can't let you get away with that Don't bother getting all dolled up You're just making yourself look bad Don't worry honey, it's not proof that you don't love me It's just a moment of weakness Oh Mary, what makes you so special Oh god Mary, man you look like an angel Don't you ever get tired of holding all the cards In your perfect little hands Saying I knew this would go badly it'a going just like I had planned Don't worry honey it's not proof that you don't love me It's just a moment of weakness Don't worry baby I may look like I'm going crazy Just in a moment of panic

How can I sleep with your weight on my chest With your stains on my shirt With your pounding in my head What can I do bout your punch in my gut About that look on your face Thinking God knows what I probably should shut up How can I speak with your words in my mouth With your lump in my throat With your things in my house What do you wanna talk about

Capable Of 03:05
Do you think of me kindly Do you think of me at all When we say hello politely Do I stay in your thoughts Just a couple questions for you baby You don't have to answer them right I've got problems I ought to be solving Your the thing I think about Do you notice when I'm clever Do you notice when I'm not Cause I notice when you're perfect And I notice when your not Just a couple things I've been wondering And still have yet to figure out I've got questions I should be answering Your the only the thing I think about You don't know what I'm capable of Cause I'm capable of more then this You don't know what I'm capable of Cause I'm capable of more then this

Long Day 03:59
I woke up out of breath Slept all day but I got no rest The sun was hazy the ground was wet Isn't that perfect I had a long day I'll take it all out on you Don't know why you stay here but I'm glad that you do You could tell me anything And I won't love you any less You could take me anywhere And I will try to do my best I had a long day but I'll make it all up to you Don't know why you stay here but I'm glad that you do I could try to clean up my act Quit smoking, trim the fat But I've long since accepted fate I'd just get unhealthy in some other way I had a long day but I'd take it all back for you Don't know why you stay here but I'm glad that you do

Last Night 03:34
Last night I got home as the sun came up And then I lied to someone I love I felt like I hadn't felt in years Totally controlled by fear Last night I coughed up both of my lungs And then I prayed to the great man above Though we struck quite a deal I still don't believe that he's real I've been awake for days wondering how to walk away I know that you would say that's no way to behave Last night I stumbled falling down drunk Claiming that I had had enough But nothing I've had I have earned It wasn't the quickest way to learn I've been awake for days wondering how to walk away I know that you would say that's no way to behave Last night I stumbled falling down drunk and claiming that I had had enough Last night I coughed up both of my lungs and then I prayed to the great man above Though we struck quite a deal I still don't believe that he's real I've been awake for days wondering how to walk away I know that you would say that's no way to behave
