Handshakes 01:28
Just a little bit of nectar; Just a little bit of poison in your blood (your blood, oh). Just a little taste of bittersweet love.

Oh, isn’t it unfortunate that no one will Ever trust, trust your mouth again. I’m sorry that you’re feeling small, Small enough to make your talk, Seem bigger than it is. You swallow letters blindly Regurgitate all the wrong, All the wrong words to them. You, you’ll claim they’re true When they’re not true at all. I pity that you need your social magnifying glass To make yourself seem tall. Oh, oh. Liar liar pants on fire Whoever knew your attention craze was dire. Liar liar, where will you go? When everyone figures out you’re just blowing smoke? Contagious outrageous, Get away from me, I don’t wanna catch what’s hiding in your teeth. Liar liar, look at what you’ve done. Who will you be when you run out of fun? Isn’t it unfortunate that no one will ever trust, trust your mouth again? I’m sorry that you’re feeling small, Small enough to make your talk, Seem bigger than it is. You swallow letters blindly Regurgitate all the wrong, All the wrong words to them. You, you’ll claim they’re true When they’re not true at all. I pity that you need your social magnifying glass To make yourself seem tall. Oh, oh. Oh,oh (Liar liar where will you go? When everyone figures out you’re just blowing smoke? Contagious outrageous, get away from me. I don’t wanna catch what’s hiding in your teeth) Contagious outrageous, Get away from me, I don’t wanna catch what’s hiding in your teeth. Liar liar, look at what you’ve done. Who will you be when you run out of fun? Oh, oh.

Well he's not yours he's mine But you're too busy stealing my pride And it's okay that you wasted so much time It was yours, not mine. But if too much is enough and I'm pissing you off it's fine, I could retrace my steps and see where I should be by this time but I'm fine. I'll be fine. This could be yours but you're alright But if you could choose would you pick my side With so much to say could you please pave my way to A new life But if too much is enough and I'm pissing you off it's fine, I could retrace my steps and see where I should be by this time but I'm fine. I'll be fine This could be what we needed, stop searching life for the reason, I could Be what you needed, oh, But if too much is enough and I'm pissing you off it's fine.... I could retrace my steps and see where I should be by this time but I'm Fine I'll be fine, I'll be fine.

I’ve got enough skin and bones To last me for days. But my mind grows weary and It’s my memories that pay. I’ve grown far too fond of losing hope And gaining a point of view So different from the one I own; Exactly what I need something new. Now I, I have figured this all out on my own, my own, my own, And now I, I have figured this is what it means to feel like I have grown.

White Walls 02:42
Five minutes a day, pushes love away. And I’ve been meaning to say, I’m not oh okay. Yeah, I’m not okay and every time you don’t realize it’s been a month since I’ve crossed your mind And I’ve been waiting for you to come around again. Let’s not play pretend. One out of two hands is craving yours. Causes there’s only one heart that adores the way that it hurts when you’re not around. And feeling like I’m buried underground, saying: I’m not okay and every time you don’t realized it’s been a month since I’ve crossed your mind and I’ve been waiting for you to come around again. Let’s not play pretend. Play pretend. I’m not okay and every time you don’t realize it’s been a month since I’ve crossed your mind and I’ve been waiting for you to come around again Let’s not play pretend, no (fairy tale love only exists in my mind) I don’t wanna play pretend, no (and make believe won’t cut it anymore I’m real and this might be too) I don’t want to play pretend.

The stories I could tell about my past life The skeletons will crawl and reach ya by night Be careful of the stories they might tell Look hard enough and you might see yourself. My skin has torn apart and the bruises, seem to last forever, was in ruins. The nightmares are a’knockin’ after the sun has settled in. The demons they always follow and they nudge their way back in. I have seen this coming for a long time. (long time) I couldn’t have stopped it had I even tried. (ba ba ba da ba da ba da ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba da ba da ba)

Demons 03:28
You’ve got your demons and I know mine have shown. But you’ll sit with them lonely while I dance with my own. So swim faster swim faster I’m sinking like a stone. Checking into hearts as hotels: a temporary home. But if your demons want out to play, I won’t force you to love me, or beg you to stay. Even though I want to say: don’t go away, don’t go away. So here is my day plan this is where I will be. You can follow my fingers on a map of the sea. You’ll swim faster swim faster to what you think you need. But little do you know, things aren’t what they seem. But if your demons want out to play, I won’t force you to love me, or beg you to stay, Even though I want to say don’t go away, don’t go away, don’t go away. Don’t go away, don’t go away no. Come out to play, come out to play, oh. Don’t go away, don’t go away.

My roots they’ve grown far too strong now. My hands, of these hands have become so swollen (callouses so hard). With hard work they have made me so much stronger, (so much stronger). The ground could not have kept me down much longer. Could I have stolen back my pride? No thanks to you, No thanks to you. These lungs, oh these lungs have kept me steady (so balanced and steady). With the weight of your burdens and your guilt that you pressed on me (pressed on me). This heart, oh this heart just wasn’t ready For what you wanted to give me. I couldn’t give out much more, you already broke me. How could I stay here? This place wasn’t mine. No thanks to you, No thanks to you.

Bloody Teeth 05:05
You're gonna haunt me forever Live in my bones with all the ghosts And I can't tell you to leave When I know that the blood between my teeth Tastes like you You're gonna haunt me forever You're a parasite who needed a host And I can't tell you to leave Because the way that it needs me to breathe Reminds me of you We all return to our favorite regret Finally I believe you're what they told me You cannot question what you cannot see My world in your hands, a catastrophe dependent on me. You're gonna haunt me forever Live in my bones with all the ghosts But I won't tell you to leave when I know that there's blood between my Teeth because of you You're gonna haunt me forever, you're just a parasite who needed a home And I won't tell you to leave, because the way that you need me to Breathe, I think it's cute. We all return to our favorite regret, finally I believe you're what you told me. I'll always question what I cannot see. my world in your hands is Destroying me. (Oh x4) You're gonna haunt me (haunt me, haunt me) x6
