Hopeful
02:25

thats when the moment dies, i’m so ashamed to be here
never going to get this right, but i want you just to stay near
I am hopeful for the end, 'cause the next thing’s right around the bend
here’s where you feel alright: there’s nothing left to tell you
no point to start a fight, there’s nothing to fight against you
I am hopeful for the end, 'cause the next thing’s right around the bend

Nothing For You
04:08
|
|||
|
it took a long time but i found my way to you
I promise I’m a good guy but I can’t seem to follow through
nothing's going to break my heart again (worse than I can)
never going to go halfway again (it’s worse than nothing)
it’s been a good day, now I can’t find my way back home
you never can say if everything is going to turn out wrong
nothing’s going to pull this dream apart (it’s a great plan)
something’s gotta tear this place apart (i’ll see if I can)
and it’s alright, if it’s all for you
but it’s not “Right”; it’s the best you can do
it’s been all night, and it’s not coming thru:
“if it’s all mine, then there’s nothing left for you”
I heard an old song and I know it’s going to be alright
even if I move wrong I can move myself toward the light
nothing’s going to take me by surprise (as long as I live)
nothing’s going to ruin my little life (it’s all I have left)

These Things Take Time
03:02
|
|||
|
something’s showing I’m wrong again
nothing’s going to happen
someone noticed I’m wrong again
no one knows what’s going on
it takes time to get lost
it takes time to be a friend
it takes time to “get god”
it takes time for things to happen
it takes time to get lost
it takes time to be a man
it takes time to cut costs
it takes time but things do happen

Quit Dreaming
02:27
|
|||
|
quit dreaming or whatever
things are never going to get better
and it bleeds into forever: quit dreaming (or whatever)
you say it’s what you want
i told you that it’s not alright
you say, “I’m too far gone.”
you "realize" it all?
alright.

I Know My Rights
02:55
|
|||
|
is it a lie? nothing i know would ever make me want a reprise
nothing is golden in the night but we can get this right:
just fuck with the knobs and flashing lights and things will be alright
we can fuck with the law, I know my rights
c’mon
c’mon c’mon i know my rights (c’mon)
c’mon c’mon i’m going to ruin your night
give it a chance: pull it apart from how you’re feeling
move with the mass, pull it apart from everything
'cause I don’t "know myself," I just say what I read and stay indoors
and think about my self, i don’t feel anything, I don’t care anymore
c’mon
c’mon c’mon
I don’t care anymore (c’mon)
c’mon c’mon just a few minutes more

Drive Around
03:17
|
|||
|
and the night floats by
everybody gets what they want
and they don't have to try
(a little less than what I'd want)
and the night floats by
everybody sleeps in the same way
and we don't even try
everything is gone by the next day
and when i can't sleep i'm going to get in the car
but i just drive around 'cause i don't know where you are
when you don't sleep, you just stare at the wall
and convince yourself that it was nothing at all
and the days coast by
everybody asks for the same things
and we all wonder why
we just accept whatever it brings
and the days coast by
everyone's alone in the same way
and we don't even try:
"I can't believe...whatever," i'll say

Crime
03:22
|
|||
|
is it a crime?
assembling the pieces of it with you on the line
hoping on a prayer in the mist
is it a lie or just a vague impression of it?
if i can reply: it wasn't supposed to happen like this
now that the world is ending let's take a look around
now that the world is ending i'm glad to go unbound
now that i've stopped pretending that anything is real
now that I've stopped pretending i don't know how to feel
is it a crime or just a soft confession of it?
i'm killing my time pretending like the world is a bit
or is it a dream extending thru a transversal plane?
you know what i mean? like, it's happening again and again.

Please Try
01:09
|
|||
|
nothing's gonna make this right
nothing's gonna get me thru the night
so tell me when we start to fight
tell me when we start to lose the light

You Are Real
02:55
|
|||
|
There goes the day: I can't get my shit figured out but stay anyway, there's nothing worth us going out. I'm bored, but enough about me right? is there something going on outdoors? "open up I'm ready," right? "nothing makes me try, anymore."
it comes and goes, I can't tell if it's over yet but one never knows. it's not like we could just forget you're real: so do the thing you wanted right now, you only get one shot to feel, or do you bring the moment back with you? I don't think that's our deal.
(I don't want it if it means I have to change at all)

Always The Same
03:39
|
|||
|
it's always the same: i get bored of being wrong
i never know where the feelings are
i'm feeling fine now
it's always the same: i ignore my little life
i let go for a little while
i'm feeling fine now
but don't turn back, cause we've looked back enough already
there's nothing left to hold us steady anymore
now i'm not sure if someone's said all this already, there must be something i'm forgetting, something more:
but I'm just bored (like an animal indoors), I'm holding out for something more (or just whatever)
I'm just bored (like an animal indoors), if nothing matters anymore can I just feel better?

Amends
03:51
|
|||
|
and it's not in my heart and I'm falling apart (was I whole at the start?)
it comes back to me now, when I'm done "freaking out" (can I say this out loud?)
that it's all you said you wanted
and now you have it
it's all you said you wanted
and now it tears me apart
but it's all you said you wanted
and now you have it
it's all you said you wanted
can we go back to the start?
is this part of a plan? i don't want to pretend I can't feel anything.
it falls off at the end, there's no room for amends
i can't say that we're "friends"
but it's all you said you needed
and now it's over
it's all you said you needed
and now it tears you apart
it's all you said you needed
and now it's over
it's all you said you needed
can we go back to the start
and it comes back again:
it's exactly what you wanted
and you can't handle it
you can't handle being happy
so when you're hanging with your friends
you just roll your eyes forever
and when you want to make amends
what do you even mend?
