Dust 02:00
I need to be shown, Led on my way, Straight to the dirt and end of everything. Who sees the trust we break, Laugh at the ghosts we make, Build up a debt we take. After today, Will we just fall down and die, These days are too slow. I don’t need to be shamed, Led on a line, Until the dust comes down on my grave. Who sees the trust we break, Laugh at the ghosts we make, Build up a debt we take.

Easy now without a name, It seems I didn’t fill the minutes quite the same. Nothing in my body but bones, Nothing in my body but bones, It feels like my head is gone, Forget what is all behind me now. Easy now without a name, It seems I didn’t fill the minutes quite the same. Believed one and only, But became your one of many, Nothing in my body but bones, yeah, Nothing in my body but bones. Easy now without a name, It seems you didn’t fill the minutes quite the same. I was always, Locked in your shame, From the day I was born. I could be yours, Make it easy, Take my shame, And pour it out in a parade of, Where I’ve been.

Divide 03:11
I won’t get another set of time, yeah, Gone away, never stay in line, You say you are aware, Never entertained the thought myself. Far down with the others, yeah, It’s only for you. Say you know, say you know. Even as these months come right down, Praying to a man who makes no sound, I won’t beg to see what I can make, So long, see it gone, somewhere do you. Stay down with the others, yeah, It’s only for you, Stay down with the others, yeah, It’s only for you. I don’t wanna wait a while, To find what’s missing, And I hope we don’t wait a while, See it go somewhere like you. Far down with the others, yeah, It’s always for you.

Cynical, sick at the core, One sad vision of life, You forgot to pay it up to those who, Can forgive a fucking masquerade and all that you do. Your conditions have conditions, Make me in your sound Your conditions have conditions, Make me in your sound Even now it’s safe and masochistic Send me on my way, You forgot to pay it up to those who, Can forgive an empty masquerade and all that you do. You make me in your sound, You make me in your sound. You take what you came for, Yeah you kill who you aim for. Your conditions have conditions, Your conditions have conditions, Your conditions have conditions.

This life is riding the gutter, Well I drove through the night, I won’t get better, I hope that you don’t mind, Nothing’s ever the same, Secrets have a way, Let’s get married and starve in the sunlight. And it feels just like the morning. This life is riding the gutter, Well I worked through the days, To find the ending, I don’t think it’s waiting, Nothing’s ever the same, People have a way, So let’s keep chasing the dream in the moonlight. How can you explain? This life is riding the gutter, Well I drove through the night, I won’t get better, I hope that you don’t mind, Nothing’s ever the same, Secrets have their way, Let’s get married and starve in the sunlight.

So You Say 02:43
Hide what you wanna' sell, Dead in the water, Cold but you've gotta', Live like somebody else, Kiss like a lover, Kill a little longer, And what you build, deconstruct it. Is this how you wanna' feel, Dead in the water, Cold but you gotta', Live like somebody else, Kiss like a lover, Kill a little longer, And what you build, deconstruct it, Deconstruct it. From the start, I think you know what you wanted, Was it worth it in the end? So you say. Say what you like, I've been along, Throwing away all these pet dreams, Say what you like, I've been along, Throwing away still images. When they corner you, Was it worth it in the end? So you say.

Ship 03:09
Take me out, I don't mind, Never gonna think you're always, Never gonna think you're always going to be there, Shipping out hollow lies, This ship's going down to nowhere, And you can't ever go with me this time. I'd give my soul to make yours whole again, But it was lost, I'm still lost. Take me down, I don't mind, It's not gonna let me save you, And how can we ever save what we can only vie for, So when you care and I never understand, How we have been so blind. I'd give my soul to make yours whole again, But it was lost, I'm still lost. And you don't know me, And you don't know me, And you don't know.

Stationary 03:33
There was a thrill, There was a time I saw myself in everyone, Five more years, Told I’m a failure in my soul, for what I’ve done, I won’t go anywhere, If I can, I won’t go anywhere. You take another, take another, Time after time you praise my brothers, Getting to the bottom of bottles of favorites, So God damn anyone, Who ever hit a son, So God damn anyone. In the end, when you mend Can we fake it. If I make money, Am I worth one more year, Of dragging you down, well, Now I’m older, Fighting no more, Take your salvation, You’ve been away for life, You’re not the same as I am. In the end, when you mend (You’re not the same as I am) Can we fake it. (You’re not the same as I am)

Never 02:16
I was, never was anything to you. I was never was anything to you, Waste my time just to get around, Don't you, don't you, Think I'm fucking listening? I was never was anything to you, Waste my time just to get around, Don't you, don't you, Think I'm fucking listening? I never was anything, I never was anything, Never was anything.
10.
Deserter 03:34
This is all mine, Without a need for reason, This all right, Without a, without a Gone away again, hunted down, Gone away again, hunted down, This is all fine, Without an understanding, This is all right Without a, without a I would like to find, And I would like to find more than you. Alll I say, Gone and there was never any way, To be remembered in your mind, For today, Tear apart everything I made, It’s deserted.
