Stolen lives, desensitized
We keep it locked away inside
Our mercy killed by fear and pride
I'd like to say that I'm surprised
But honestly it's just another week
Televangelists in private jets
Organic free range cigarettes
Our value tied to our success
No wonder we're all such a mess
Slowly, softly, pushing to the brink
The people are dying
While they're up there lying
I think we're just tired and scared
The perils of trying to care
Hopelessly hyperaware
A Dunning-Kruger love affair
So know it all, devil may care
We fool ourselves to stave despair
Tell me, are you even listening?
They say the cost of freedoms getting high
Gone into debt, we're out of lives
They can't care less, stop asking why
How many more will have to die?
Turn out the light and try to get some sleep
Cause lately it's been so hard
To live through all these fresh scars
And I've been trying so hard
Hard
Dying
While they're up there lying
I think we're just tired and scared
The perils of trying to care
The people are dying
While they're up there lying
I think we're just tired and scared
The perils of trying to care

PARALYZER

So insecure
Or too much confidence
Oh you'll insure
I'll never get to exist
Out of my own head
A cell of regrets
It started pure
Just trying to make some sense
Of the obscure
Has left me stuck on the fence
Can I speak now?
Do I even know how?
My paralyzer
Has got it's hold on me
Walking the wire
At a hundred feet
You're such a liar
Just you wait and see
I'll take it
Higher
Higher
And it's not fair
That I've been glued to the bench
I wouldn't dare
To move a single inch
Even if you set me free
I wouldn't have the strength to leave
The static air
I feel it coming again
So I'll say a prayer
While my fists are clenched
Can I believe now?
Do I even know how?
Will I bend or break?
How much more can I take?
My paralyzer
How you make me bleed
Oh none the wiser
You planted all the seeds
Garden of Eden
Is just covered in weeds
Can't see the the forest for a single tree
My paralyzer
Won't give a moment's reprieve
Oh you crush my soul
Don't give me time to grieve
Battered and beaten
I can't help but freeze
Try to start the engine you won't give me the keys
My paralyzer
Has got it's hold on me
Walking the wire
At a thousand feet
You're such a liar
Just you wait and see
I'll take it
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
My paralyzer
My paralyzer

Time Bomb

Ain't got a single thing to do
Oh you may be in malibu
But I'm still stuck inside my room
And I'm not sure which I'd rather choose
Do I lay in bed all day
Or do I try and face impending doom?
So sick of waiting
For the show to go on
And I'm always thinking
That I must be doing something wrong
Now my legs are shaking
And the timers running on and on and on
I'm a ticking time bomb!
I'm a ticking time bomb!
Making ice cream for breakfast
Sunday morning cartoons
Just anything that I can do to keep myself amused
And my nights are all restless
Cause I'm so consumed
By the fear that I've been wasting away in my youth
Just burning pages
Till my best years are gone
And it's been ages
Since I've got to sing a different song
Now my legs are shaking
And the timers running on and on and on
I'm a ticking time bomb!
I'm a ticking time bomb!
My legs are shaking
Cause I've been holding on for so long
For my life to change
And I don't think it's ever gonna come
I'm screaming
Oh
Oh no
The timers getting real low
I'm a ticking time bomb!
I'm a ticking time bomb!

People Suck!

If the truth is three-dimensional
To bad we're good at picking sides
And we're always too critical
But we never want to start a fight
And if you're not an angel
Then you must be a horrible guy
But nobodies perfect
In the end, we're worth it
As long as we try
But people suck sometimes
I'm begging you
Read between the lines
To tell the truth
We're just doing what we think is right
But everybody's dumb
'Cause living makes us numb
So maybe we could use a little love
People tell your secrets
Then you'll kick it on the weekend
And they don't have a problem lying to your face
You could talk for hours
'Bout how bad they turned you sour
Look around
You're standing right in their old place
And everybody likes to act
Like every thought they think is fact
Oh, come on guys, lets cut the crap
No one here's a saint
'Cause people suck sometimes
I'm begging you
Read between the lines
To tell the truth
We're just doing what we think is right
But everybody's dumb
'Cause living makes us numb
So maybe we could use a little love
Sometimes
It feels like
I suck most of all
But hey, if we're the same
Why don't we try to get along?
'Cause people suck sometimes
I'm begging you
Read between the lines
To tell the truth
We're just doing what we think is right
But everybody's dumb
'Cause living makes us numb
So maybe we could use a little love
But everybody's dumb
'Cause living makes us numb
So maybe we could use a little love
Love, love, love
People suck

The waves crash around
In a roaring thunder
But I'm not giving up now
No I'm far to stubborn
Tides couldn't pull me out
Back when I was younger
But now I'm getting nervous
Dragged underneath the surface
Lost in the current of current events
I've been
Drowning in silence, too tired to swim
Sea on my shoulders, guess now that I'm older
Its eager to snuff me out
I'm burning it down
Igniting my fire again
A flame in the ocean
Is not supposed to win
Yet here I am
I feel the heat
Bring me to a boil
I just can't compete
With my mortal coil
Twinge of defeat
It mixes in like oil
My eyes are losing focus
That's when I start to notice
Sunlight refracted way down to these depths
Still my
Matchbox is soggy, the kindling wet
Weaker and weaker as I'm sinking deeper
Its eager to snuff me out
I'm burning it down
Igniting my fire again
A flame in the ocean
Is not supposed to win
But here I am
Burning it down
Igniting my fire again
A flame in the ocean
Is not supposed to win
Yet here I am
Burning it down
Igniting my fire again
A flame in the ocean
Is not supposed to win
Yet here I am

I'm so Screwed

Maybe you're still thinking of me
Cause baby you've been haunting my dreams
Can't wake up
This ending sucks
Oh
Guess that we were never meant to be
Choking on your memory oh
Was I not enough?
And all these girls they can't compete
You're the one for me but I'm too weak
To run
And honestly I don't believe
That I was ever deserving
Of your love
You lift my feet off the ground
Without you music has no sound
Please be the air inside my lungs
Cause I'm so tired of oxygen
Fresh out of tears for weeping
Miss my heart but it's yours for the keeping
So messed up
How I've gone bankrupt
Oh
Let the sorrow slowly creep in
There's no one else I'd rather be with
Was I not enough?
All these girls they can't compete
You're the one for me but I'm too weak
To run
Honestly I don't believe
That I was ever deserving
Of your love
Yeah now I'm so screwed
This ain't a hand grenade its a nuke
I couldn't find the words before you bid me adieu
Now baby I'm so screwed
Cause it was always you
Yeah now I'm so screwed
This ain't a hand grenade its a nuke
I couldn't find the words before you bid me adieu
Now baby I'm so screwed
Cause it was always you

Seems like just yesterday
You said you loved me for the very first time
We were standing out in the rain
And I had never felt so alive
But new opportunities arose
The kind you've been hoping for
Since you were only ten years old
You had to move across the ocean
Follow your dreams, despite our devotion
So
Is it any wonder
Why we're all gonna die alone?
Cause people change
And love walks away
To pursue its own goals
You say you wanna stay
But we both know you oughta go
Cause you've been waiting your whole life
And I've been here for a year or so
So go
Please, go
I don't want to see your face
It'll only make me cry
And when I hear about you on the TV
Oh it eats me up inside
But honestly
I'm happy for you
All the things that you're gonna do
It just kills me that I'm
Not the dream
That you wanted to come true
So
Is it any wonder
Why we're all gonna die alone?
Cause people change
And love walks away
To pursue its own goals
You say you wanna stay
But we both know you oughta go
Cause you've been waiting your whole life
And I've been here for a year or so
So go
Please, go
And I don't wanna hold you back
I just wanna hold you
And I don't wanna hold you back
I just wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you

Hollow

And I know I'm asking a lot
But I thought I'd give it a shot
I wish to be everything that I'm not
Cause this ain't working
And I loathe these cards I've been dealt
I'd place my bets on anyone else
My whole life, guess I've always felt
Like this aint worth it
If I could rearrange the stars
Choose to leave them where they are
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so hollow
If I could live a hundred lives
And choose this every single time
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so hollow
Yet I keep denying myself
Store my heart in a jar on a shelf
A cheap imitation of somebody else
Cause they seem so perfect
It's impossible for me
To amount to anything
Why is this what I had to be?
No, I'm not worth it
I'm not worth it
I'm not worth it
I'm not worth it
Give me reason to believe
That this is who I have to be
If I could rearrange the stars
Choose to leave them where they are
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so hollow
If I could live a hundred lives
And choose this every single time
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so hollow
This is not how I thought it'd be
No I'm not who I thought I'd be
I feel so hollow
This is not how I thought it'd be
No I'm not who I thought I'd be
I feel so hollow

We hate the rain
And dark cloudy days
Seasonal depression
Got us racking up copays
So you're moving south
For the winter
But our winters last forever
So I guess I'll see you never
We're tired of flannels
And falling apart
As bitter as our coffee
Guess that's playing a part
Seattle freeze
The enemy
But at least we got a hockey team
And we're always in a hurry
But got nowhere to go
Cause we're all just kinda waiting
For the mountain to blow
To put us out
Of our misery
Shoulda left grunge back in 93'
Pacific northwestitis
No, I don't think I like this
She said "don't knock it till you try it,
There's more to life than all this"
Pacific northwestitis
It's probably not the right fit
Everyone I love has jumped ship
How did we get so sick?
Major corporations
Right outside of our homes
13 million people
Never felt so alone
So called self-aware
We'll dye our hair
Check our phones, pretend to care
We're cutting down our forests
Beauty we once adored
For shiny plastic suburbs
That we just can't afford
Now bigfoot lacks
A habitat
"We're leaving love, go pack your bags"
Pacific northwestitis
No, I don't think I like this
She said "don't knock it till you try it,
There's more to life than all this"
Pacific northwestitis
It's probably not the right fit
Everyone I love has jumped ship
How did we get so sick?
Won't you stay
Stay with me
Amongst the evergreens
Be sunlight beam
That gets me through it
Though its not
What you need
I'll cure your disease
Be the sunlight beam
That gets you through it
Won't you stay
Stay with me
Amongst the evergreens
Be sunlight beam
That gets me through it
Though its not
What you need
I'll cure your disease
Be the sunlight beam
That gets you through it
Pacific northwestitis
No, I don't think I like this
She said "don't knock it till you try it,
There's more to life than all this"
Pacific northwestitis
It's probably not the right fit
Everyone I love has jumped ship
How did we get so sick?

Your cherry chapstick
Stuck to my lips
Crinkled bedsheets
And quiet little quips
I need you closer
Than mere skin and bone
Hold me captive
Make me your own
Hands running through hair
Your wild eyes stare
And melt me to the mattress
Oh it just isn't fair
With you in my clothes
And rain soaked windows
All I really know is
I wanna
Lay
Right here
My dear
Forever
I whisper sweet nothings
And you wrinkle your nose
Our coffee on your nightstand
That we'd let grow cold
And the airs filled with laughter
And the smell of my cologne
When I'm in your arms baby
I feel right at home
You coursing through my veins
A blood rush to the brain
After armageddon
Only you and I remain
With you in my clothes
And rain soaked windows
All I've ever known is
I wanna
Lay
Right here
My dear
Forever
Lay forever
Lay forever
In your love
La de da da da
Da da dum
