Waits around, for someone to take her from this place Another nose bleed, half­cocked, she's just bugged eyed Good things come to those who wait, but they've been up for six days straight Breaking Skin Waits around, for someone to slap him in his face Hangs around with people he calls friends He can't even make out words, he's on some shit but she's seen worse Breaking Skin Don't wait up for me, we're all dying, anyway Go and light this match up off my skin Said oh no not again, oh no not again, oh no not again Time to wake up now Time to wake up now Waits around, for someone to take her from this place Another nose bleed, full­cocked and now she's fucked Shoulda found her way home, room full of people all alone They're breaking skin She don't wanna be here no more, said she's had enough He don't know if he loves her more than he loves these drugs When it's time to go she don't wanna walk up out that door They're breaking skin Don't wait up for me, we're all dying, anyway Go and light this match up off my skin Oh no not again, oh no not again, oh no not again Time to wake up Most beautiful things come from shit Most beautiful things grow from shit, and I'm waiting Most beautiful things come from shit Most beautiful things grow from shit You won't leave when it’s time to go, you will see we've been here before Bandaged up, broken down, light me up, how's that sound Knock the crown off my head, the shadow of a man and it's the shell Of a human punching bag mixed with booze and crystal meth The amphetamines, all the dreams, the solar system seems in reach You can clean anything with a sponge and bleach but I can't figure out how to clean my sheets I was trippin' 'til I found my savior in a bottle Now I'm dripping wet with candle wax covering clothes I borrowed You call it rock bottom, I call it Tuesday Plant shit, something beautiful has gotta happen today It's gotta happen today, it's gotta happen today Most beautiful things come from shit Most beautiful things grow from shit, and I'm waiting Most beautiful things come from shit Most beautiful things

Jaded 04:12
I saw you walkin' around this town, trying not to smoke cigarettes With your coffee in hand, the other first clenched, it could break me It happened again, is this a cycle worth repeatin'? Need to wake up from this reoccurring dream, where the ending just seems to be So hopeless, and I was too fucking high to notice Jaded, and I'm jaded I can see it in your eyes, all the black clouds and broken skies Look what we wasted, and I'm wasted If you're leaving just to leave then you can catch me on the flipside I saw you runnin' around in the dark, it's as black as marks on your back The scars and scabs, they rip right through me, breaks me down It's not about the things you lack, it's not about the shit you have Remember what sent it down that track, when it comes back around again You lift me up, now I'm too fucking high to look down Jaded, and I'm jaded I can see it in your eyes, all the black clouds and broken skies Look what we wasted, and I'm wasted If you're leaving just to leave then you can catch me on the flipside I saw you pissed off by yourself, on the phone with somebody else Even if I could I would not help, its not my place anymore Let the darkness overwhelm me, let it all fall apart to pieces Let's see who picks 'em back up, it might be you, not sure what keeps us here Takes a bigger person to see when things just are not workin' But when it don't feel right It keeps me up all god damn night, I swear It was the best and worst thing I've ever done, oh yeah Jaded, and I'm jaded I can see it in your eyes, all the black clouds and broken skies Look what we wasted, and I'm wasted If you're leaving just to leave then you can catch me on the flipside Jaded, and I'm jaded I can see it in your eyes, all the black clouds and broken skies Look what we wasted, and I'm wasted If you're leaving just to leave Then you can catch me on the

Everytime 05:45
*additional vocals and lyrics by Dave Gutter I’ve started to realize things are better on their own I’m starting to count the time in between broken bones I’m starting to realize I’m better on my own I’ve started to count the time in between your broken bones Every time I close my eyes, I feel somethin’ Every time I lose my mind, goes back to nothin’ One day I’ll leave this high, find somewhere else that’s broken Leave the world, shoulder lean, belly up, my little jelly bean I count the letters in between A and B I look for what is next to come after Z I count the sheep that come between wake and sleep And wonder why I can't see Why can't I see? Every time I close my eyes, I feel somethin’ Every time I lose my mind, goes back to nothin’ One day I’ll leave this high, find somewhere else that’s broken Leave the world, shoulder lean, belly up, my little jelly bean You got him takin’ the day slow, you got him slowin’ his tempo Hung up by a pay phone, he ain’t coming home Where did the day go You got him lookin’ to leave, you come around got him choking to breathe You show up he’s a mess, he sorry he’s so depressed, yes Leave him alone You got me takin’ my days slow, you got me slowin’ my tempos Hung myself with a pay phone, now I ain’t comin’ home Where did the days go Got me lookin’ to leave, when you come around had me choking to breathe You show up I’m a mess, I’m sorry I’m so depressed, yes Leave me alone They don't trust me Anymore They don't trust me Anymore They don't trust me Anymore They don't trust me Every time I close my eyes, I feel somethin' great Every time I lose my mind, goes back to nothing, wait One day I'll leave this high, find somewhere else that's broken, hey Leave the world, shoulder lean, belly up, my little jelly bean

*additional vocals by MaryLeigh Roohan It’s the end of the world, again Better grab your gun It’s the end of the world, again Just started having fun It’s the end of the world, again Better grab your bible It’s the end of the world, again Prep for survival It’s the end of the world There’s no comin’ back, there’s no runnin’ back Better speed your pace, there’s only time for that Keep it movin’ and maneuver through the jungle When you see your God, speak your case You ain’t got a shot, you barely got a prayer The bombs already blown, the rapture came and we’re still here Take all you cherish, do your best to keep it tied up A blessing in disguise implies something left inside us But it’s all dead, it’s still all gone Got a couple memories we sing like songs Got a couple people that we keep near by I ain’t ready to die, but I can’t run and can’t hide It's the end of the world, again Better grab your gun It's the end of the world, again Just started having fun It's the end of the world, again Better grab your Bible It's the end of the world, again Prep for survival It's the end of the world It’s been comin’ for so so long 'Til the pots brewed just right Help you find food in the morning They’re gonna kill you by the end of the night It don’t take much, the days go quick, Killin’ just to stay alive That’s a nice ass coat and those pants might fit Those boots look like my size, so Save me, from what I’ve done, have mercy on my soul Save me, from the world, we all know it’s about to explode, so Save me, from the enemies, who bring death and disease Save me, from myself, then save you from me It's the end of the world, again Better grab your gun It's the end of the world, again Just started having fun It's the end of the world, again Better grab that Bible It's the end of the world, again Prep for survivial It's the end of the world Save me! Save me, from what I’ve done Save me, from the piece of shit I’ve become (it’s the end of the world) Save me, from the disease (it’s the end of the world) Save me, from me

Sunsets 05:32
Peeking through the crack in the doorway Her hairbrush and makeup on the vanity The creakin’ of the floorboards shows my cards She never knew but shoulda stayed away from me The sunsets, she waits for me Choking on the words that were left unsaid The sunrise, she’s still waiting Trippin’ on the thoughts runnin’ through my head Embattled walls, settled scores Sits in the shadow of my restraint The clock ticks but I ain’t never lived that way I’m okay with words but I got nothin’ left to say The sunsets, she waits for me Choking on the words that were left unsaid The sunrise, she’s still waiting Trippin’ on the thoughts runnin’ through my head The grass grows over the memories So patient it’s perfect, the judgement is present The wind blows hummin' off key melodies Her ghostly figure takes my hand and I can’t breathe And I’m dying The sunsets, she waits for me Choking on the words that were left unsaid The sunrise, she’s still waiting Trippin’ on the thoughts runnin’ through my head
