Unbearably, I'm afraid again
you can't believe what you haven't seen
Unbearably, I'm afraid again
I can't believe what I haven't seen
This malady; it's strange to me
Tiring, it consumes myself and the rest

So I'm out to lunch and I think to myself:
"I'm not in a hurry, so why not cause a stir?"
I gravitate to trouble, but I'm not a mess
I'm telling you, though, this is my life, that's yours
You can't erase your meaning
It doesn't matter how much, it doesn't matter how much
despite how a road seems to lead
it's easy to fall back
And I know, I'm not hopin' for
a change in your meaning
I've got coffee in a raincoat
I'm enlightened with your write-in
You can't erase your meaning
It doesn't matter how much, it doesn't matter how much
despite how a road seems to lead
it's easy to fall back
I wasn't ready; you weren't right for me
It doesn't matter how much, it doesn't matter how much
To figure this out, I wasn't right for you
It doesn't matter how much, it doesn't matter how much
You can't erase your meaning
It doesn't matter how much, it doesn't matter how much

My guess is you can't rest
Are you pretending about it?
If it's all the same to you
I can't help you
I must know; have you seen my watch?
It's white
At night I look for you
You've been gone for weeks
Oh Melodee, my sweet
I miss you
Running around again
I haven't decided
if I've got one left
I haven't decided yet
Oh Melodee, your voice is gone
Electric currents at your throat
We can't explain, but you wanna play
Mistakes were made, but we want you to stay
Can we please just play, can we please just play?
Mistakes were made, but we want you to stay
Running around again
I haven't decided
if I've got one left
haven't decided
Running around again
I haven't decided yet
I can't relay to you what I wanted to say
What I wanted to say
I can't relay to you what I wanted to say
Can we please just play?
Hey Melodee, let's dance around the living room
You're not much older than me, but you see
You're my oldest memory
Can we please just play, can we please just?
She didn't cry
She couldn't see why
but she misses you
and we miss you too

I'm already going out on a limb
You wrote about it with your head in the sand
How about you sell me your soul?
I've got a shovel and this never gets old
I'm already going out on a limb
This thought is trademarked, I don't know how
How about you sell me your soul?
How about you sell me your...?
Hapless, haunted
I see you go about your day, unafraid
Hapless, haunted
I see you go about your day, unafraid
Everyone's innocent according to you
There's nothing to sing about then
A lack of guilt on your part shows that
There's nothing to sing about then
Hapless, haunted
I see you go about your day, unafraid
Hapless, haunted
I see you go about your day, unafraid
I see you go about your day, unafraid
How about you sell me your soul?
How about you sell me your soul, whole?
Everyone's innocent according to you
There's nothing to sing about then
A lack of guilt on your part shows that
There's nothing to sing about then
Hapless, haunted, there's nothing to sing about then
Hapless, haunted, there's nothing to sing about

What a stunning picture
We couldn't see you
despite all the efforts made
in conjunction with your family
They would beg to differ
Don't hold your breath
It's so hard to be left out, I know
It's so hard to be left out, I know
It's a solemn swear from me
that you'll try again
to be whole again
Creeping forward the time goes
there's a chance I'll see where to
I won't ask how but I expect answers
It's so hard to be left out, I know
(they beg to differ)
It's so hard to be left out, I know
(don't hold your breath)
It's so hard to be left out, I know
(we're in this together)
It's so hard to be left out, I know

I'm used to being far away
Not used to home
Just try it once and go back
Lacking in transportation
So just walk for now
People moving sucks
Walk for now
But I don't know you
What would I amount to?
Diverting gaze
It's a really really long way
To the other side
Where you'd be hard pressed to see anything
Bills are due
Take away the water
But not from us
We need to keep the scores up
For our lovely patrons
But I don't know you
What would I amount to?
Diverting gaze
It's a really really long way
To the other side
Where you'd be hard pressed to see anything
Anything that you'd be proud to say you did
I know you could not see me as you passed by
I can't believe you

Heavens, No!

And to that we say resoundingly, no
What did you do instead? All that power without a plan
While I'm going through the current, I have to say:
No one here is gonna think about what you did today
No, a drain won't stop the flow
Carry the beat to try not to miss the boat
Hope, you can't believe how much hope
These tiny things, these tiny things that no seems to know
How to do, how to do, how to do
Atrophy, behind the scenes
Is it unforeseen or happening?
At what point does it become
unsustainable, attainable
Can it take, can it take more? Can it take?
Can it take, can it take more? Can it take?
More from you, more from you, more from you?
Can it take more from you?
Atrophy, behind the scenes
Is it unforeseen or happening?
Atrophy, behind the scenes
Is it unforeseen or happening?

I've tried to think about it at every stage
It doesn't compete
It bears repeating now
If trying harder progresses my mind
Even when I deviate, I'll try to tape it down
I'll run into my house
Where I can roam about
I can't believe it's gone
You'll reap your inner gold
Where I can't seem to take hold
I can't believe it's gone
Would you like to compare machines?
Would you like to compare machines?
Was that pouring out of your brain?
I think it rots in me
Was that pouring out of your brain?
I think it rots in me
(It's not even that hard to see the truth
Thinking I've been here every time of year)
Try not to think about
A single shred of thought
I can't believe it's gone
(It's the evidence that I refuse to see)
(It's the evidence that I refuse to see)
Was that pouring out of your brain?
I think it rots in me
Is that a task I can complete?
You sing while I sleep
I sleep
Trust me with your evergreen
Trust me with your evergreen
Do you want to compare machines?
Do you want to compare machines?
Do you want to compare machines?
Do you want to compare machines?
Do you?

Kickin' it Hard

I can't see the sky
Without it breakin'
It's there in contrast
I'm with you
The fan's off
Sleep won't come tonight
But that's alright
The conversation conceals the truth
There's nothing that prevents this ruse
Keep the time
'Cause I can't keep it for you
Regardless
I will
The fan's off
Sleep won't come tonight
But that's alright
The conversation conceals the truth
There's nothing that prevents this ruse
I can't imagine you in my mind but there you are every time
Every time
I could be you
You wouldn't be
Be still my heart
Rewind
Let fall
It's hard to hear the cries inside you
You see, the trees don't fall without you
I can't see the sky
Without it breakin'
It's there in contrast
I'm with you
It may appear like I don't have the strength
Inside I'm crying but I'll through
(But I'd be lying)
The wind blew us apart for the better
(if I said to you)
And now I'm alright
Yet still no better than you

It goes without saying that you know
It goes without saying that a collector's mind grows
I can abide by, I can abide by your rules
I can abide by, I can abide by your rules
And all I hear
Is one more noise
That breaks the glass
It's all...
And I know, I know you
It goes without saying that you know
A sickened killer inside your room
Can't tell you how they know you
Despite their reason to kill you too
I can't abide by, I can't by their rules
I can't abide by, I can't by their rules
And all I hear
Is one more noise
That breaks the glass
It's all in two
Go out of your way to see my face
Go out of your way to see my face
Go out of your way, go out of your way
Go out of your way to see me
And I know, I know you
Haven't seen me try
And I know, I know you
Haven't seen me try
And I know you haven't been lucky
And it's impossible to move on from this
To move on from this
