So young you could cry, you type on your cellular device The blue light caught your eye the same way it caught mine Felt it one second then it faded Back into my head where it was created So bright I went blind from the strain on my eyes Stared into the light ‘til the battery died Felt it one second then it faded Back into my head where it was created (the man on the telephone is angry) Pick up the phone

As I left, forgot why I was sad If I could only learn to jump out the first window I see When this feeling of dread comes back again I won't sit on my hands I’ll wait for a gap in conversation Unlock the door, creep into the hall (and get the fuck out) And every time I die W Blue-Sky Lives And every time I die W Blue-Sky Lives I won’t be the only one who feels alone I won’t be the only one You painted me a picture, so I put it in a box - On the wall along with all my absent feelings It never stays the same - color retreats to the frame How come all of life is love and I’m not living? I’ll wait for a gap in conversation Unlock the door, creep into the hall And every time I die W Blue-Sky Lives And every time I die W Blue-Sky Lives

By the way, I think it's strange Plans for the future made by those who cannot wait Either way, it's getting late The end remains the same Color in the black and white outside of the lines Or erase them I’m sick of tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ I think I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ Got time? Time to pick up the phone? Even if you don’t, I’ll talk after the tone About when we were young and selfless By the way, I think it’s strange The end remains the same I’m sick of tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ I think I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ Color in the black and white outside of the lines Or erase them I’m sick of tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ I think I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ Color in the black and white outside of my eyes Or erase them I’m sick of tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’ I think I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’ I’m dyin’

Haircut 1000 03:37
So you say it doesn’t matter anyway, it’s so intangible Like what I see when I stare into the stream, such a temporary mood change I know what I need, but it’s under lock and key, at least it feels that way I don’t think it’s asking too much for me to take this all with me When I go When I... They said I should cut my hair or they won’t take me seriously Turns out it didn’t help, now I’m stuck in an empty bottle Stuck with a bad haircut that I know won’t grow in When I go When I…

It's For You 03:46
Will you be there when I go? Oh never mind What’s the use if you won’t see inside? The surface shows an easy answer We live life like it’s an alibi Excuses fill the room like vapor Burning my eyes Don’t get me wrong I’m still in love with you It’s not your fault I feel these shards of glass So I guess I’m a mess and a constant shipwreck Unchanged You’re the one who's gotten better All my dreams are syndicated shows Laughter always canned, everyone knows this episode Don’t get me wrong I’m still in love with you It’s not your fault I feel these shards of glass No please don’t go It’s not your fault I’m still in love with you Don’t get me wrong

Voicemail 00:39
I love when the trains come at the same time Then they go their own way The LEDs lit up depicting: “Have your ticket ready”

But you misread this as a threat and now you’re nervous Now the day is ruined Pin on my back a sign that says: “Never saw it coming” There's good days and there's bad days and there's good days and there's bad days and there's good days and there's bad days and there's bad days there’s more bad days than not This is just a warning This is nothing I'm nothing without you My dark thoughts creep to your head Telephone connections If true love really leaves no marks How did we get these scars? Think I must have the wrong number Left a message for a stranger It felt natural to confide in Someone that I’ve imagined

Elevator 05:26
Could this elevator come any sooner? Feel like a vampire down by the lake Murky water and frogs eating fleas Speak into the receiver, it's a collect call At my expense Fall into a routine Day by day don't change anything Works for some but not others Only catch is the weather But that will change Technology gets closer every day Hanging flowers to catch the rain Tractor-trailers hold so much pain Traffic and crashes will make us late Computers tell us that we’ll be okay Fall into a routine Day by day don't change anything Works for some but not others Only catch is the weather But that will change Technology gets closer every day I heard they've got chemicals That will make things better for us both

I’m googling salaries To see what other people make To feel better or worse Depending on the day The algorithm Knows exactly what I want to see So it shows me Exactly what I want to see Sold myself away for convenience Sold myself away for (I am my own prison) Sold myself away (high in my room) I'm down the rabbit hole Not sure if I'll be getting out Any time soon It's not looking so good At least I see it (the algorithm) For what it really is Does that give me Any more hope?
