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

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

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”

Nothing Without You
03:23

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

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?
