Curtain Call 02:34
So raise your hands if you claim to understand these quiet songs And shake my hand if you are just here for the fun So don't bother me, I'd rather drink alone Excuse me miss, could you drive me home? The shadow of your skin reminds my head that I’m imperfect yeah Because you are the devil when you walk, and you are the devil when you talk So don't bother me, I'd rather drink alone Excuse me miss, could you drive me home?

Escapism 04:56
We took a ride to nowhere, just to get out of town. To rearrange other city streets. A blur of random bars and some shady mistakes. I took the last train home We're unfulfilled and wasted. At bottle twenty-three. Oh god please help, I'm drowning. And as the cold begins to wander, the dark begins to sing Our hearts seemed so much bolder when we were still young. Perhaps we grew up too fast? Cause these "high minded college kids" steer their lives in a pile a shit. But who are we to say anything? We're unfulfilled and wasted. At bottle twenty-three. Oh god please help, I'm drowning. And as the cold begins to wander, the dark begins to sing. Begins to sing She's in her right mind, to tell me I'm a fool. I had this wild plan, to break every rule. I told her things are not easy as they looked Shaking the goddamn nerves from my face. It's too late for this talk. Such a shame that we're stuck She's in her right mind, to tell me I'm a fool. I had this wild plan, to break every rule. And I walked until these thoughts made sense to me As the walls, the walls, the walls came crashing in. Love might live again Love might live again If the booze, the drugs, and sadness settle in Love might live again

Out Of Focus 04:24
A comprehensive stare into these boring ways It turns into a bitter fight. It turns into a struggle yeah What happened to the fire that made us less alone? Became the one that I despised. An old man standing in the back Tonight is purely sentimental. Photographs of us smiling kids I remind myself to breathe, out there. Because I am scared what the future holds A hypocrite I am, stuck in this city Afraid of losing what I have, afraid of disappointing you Just step back a little, and watch your loved ones burn And watch your loved ones burn. And watch your loved ones Tonight is purely sentimental. Photographs of us smiling kids I remind myself to breathe, out there. Cause I am scared what the future holds Poured out all these useless words in hope of a smile. I guess don't care anymore. But honestly what frightens me the most, is that I've run out things to say Step back a little, this house is not a home Just step back a little, this house is not a home Tonight is purely sentimental. Photographs of us smiling kids I remind myself to breathe, out there. Because I am scared what the future holds

Strangers pass me by, keep telling me I'm not all right Signed by a love struck melody, with the wrong chords and memories This haunting in my head unveils the lines this tragedy Face to face with family. Face to faith with phantoms Long live the king Long live the Long live the king Long live the The hours turn to weeks, conflicting words from the orderlies Making sense of reality. Because this waiting is killing me But how the fuck can I sleep when the world can take you away from me? All I can do is numb the pain. All I do is numb the pain Long live the king Long live the Long live the king Long live the Long live the king Long live the Long live the king Long live the
