Hindsight 01:40
Cut me out effortlessly Cause in your head you could have it all That I'd be waiting patiently for your return I put out your fire with my bare hands and you let me burn I used to miss you I nearly waited for you But now Looking in Hindsight I hope it was worth the loss Well I don't, but I hope you know it's not I hope it was worth the pain Well I don't but I know you still look at me the way You did when you thought I was sleeping Even though I was just pretending To avoid the complications We'd face when we got home I told you not to push me I told you not to push me I told you not to push me I told you

Bodies 03:02
I'm torn between the guilt and security Heart so heavy cause I cary both of our burdens You move on easy, happy endings but what happens to me I'm drained and empty I'm drained an empty Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried You look so down whenever we come around I want to talk to you but the hand you hold is the one that anchors you to the ground, and sews up your mouth But it was so effortless, the way that you cut me out I hope that you're drained and empty, like me Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Your debts are overdue The bodies are lifeless but they still got more guts than you And I hate myself enough to know That I'm not innocent So I won't play victim, but you can't play God Your debts are overdue The bodies are lifeless but they still got more guts than you And I hate myself enough to know That I'm not innocent So I won't play victim, but you can't play God Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried Don't push me I know where the bodies are buried

What have i got to show For the year spent trying to rebuild knowing I can't do it on my own But the holes in my pocket and a key stuck in a locket that won't turn and it's jarred just because it's just so hard to love me i make my way to the front door I'm drumming my fingers I'm pulling at skin i'm anxious as hell I came here to erase that but i'm not doing that well The distraction may render this useless Cause we're barely scratching the surface But I watch enough Frasier to know that this is probably transference maybe i should go back to avoidance cause I fear I've become an annoyance that's the problem that i'm bring to solve with all the appointments and I'm well aware that the irony is potent You could burn my apathy From those who played on my empathy I lent you all of me For too long Yeah avoidance is my middle name I told myself I won't come back again But the endings all end all the same I don't know how to leave Well if the point of all this is to be painfully honest You think that i've improved but it's only in the slightest Call it excited You're just a sight for these sore eyes Well if the point of all this is to be painfully honest You think that i've improved but it's only in the slightest Call it excited Whatever this is it's unrequited You could burn my apathy From those who played on my empathy I lent you all of me For too long My only mistake was letting you in I hollowed out a piece of me and let you nestle in My only regret was giving in to false hope and living entirely through this lust when i've just barely learned the ropes (overlapped vocals) Yeah avoidance is my middle name I told myself I won't come back again But the endings all end all the same I don't know how to leave

Salsa Shark 03:14
Disguise your intentions, friend Dress them up in white Parade artificial innocence So you can sleep tonight You fucked my trust up Now I'm back where I started I'm making friends But it's all so half hearted I'm torn like the skin on my back Between forced forgiveness and a plan of attack No one lives here anymore Newspaper lines the windows and we boarded up the doors I was told that we're in this together, even if the light it dim Instead you left me waiting on the outside looking in They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it These days are too shortly numbered to only occupy A small space in your mind So give up, give up Memories may rust But their marks still hang around But if I get up and leave now I can start rebuilding this home And pull myself out of Stockholm syndrome They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it You shed your skin, I've grown into mine Scrapes and bruises never got left behind I can't change these aspects But I can choose where I go Bridges to ashes, trust to dust I waited for the healing but I never adjusted You've got your friends And I've got time on my side You shed your skin, I've grown into mine Scrapes and bruises never got left behind I can't change these aspects But I can choose where I go Bridges to ashes, trust to dust I waited for the healing but I never adjusted You've got your friends And I've got time on my side They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it They told me, "It's better to be safe than sorry It's easier to forgive than forget" Well I don' think we forgive We just learn to live with it We just learn to live with it We just learn to live with it We just learn to live with it I'm learning to live with it

Your lycanthrope Justifies my misanthrope And I find it's damaging The progress of the person that I'd rather be This house was built On the burial ground Where yesterday's trust Was gagged and bound I walk around with callused skin It's been a while since I let anyone in I put up walls And burned down bridges Paying homage to my classic avoidance I lost my trust And I lost some friends Not cause I treated them badly I just don't trust any of them I walk around with callused skin It's been a while since I let anyone in I went own to the junk yard to get my old stuff But it was hard to find So I'm staring at a dead sky of old stars That have since died Gone are the days where I was on call I used to drive and now I just stall Your lycanthrope Justifies my misanthrope Fuck your pseudo philanthrope You're not who you used to be

I'm on my last legs If there's a body count for every time you broke my spirit We're in the hundreds I'm holding secrets you know If only you could see them Trade words I confide In for a business mind Well that's not what I'm like We took our last breath And I'm the one that pushed our lungs out to the limit I got no regrets I'm holding secrets you know But only you can see them Trade words I confide In for a business mind Well that's not what I'm like Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Everything has changed From the lines in your face to the hole in your faith You've got a whole lot of nerve And you're watching your back while I'm Looking over my shoulder And you've no right to complain when you feel the sting behind you That's where you left me You used to be better than that You used to be better Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Everything has changed Construct, only to destruct I'm killing these days just watch them die Construct, only to destruct They didn't even gasp, they didn't even try Construct, only to destruct Collecting thoughts and easy minds Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Now that I won't give you what you want Everything has changed
