Exodus 03:45

It's not as simple To think you're strong It's not as simple As a loaded gun It's not as simple To think you're strong It's not as simple To keep moving on I am everything That wraps around you on a summer day Now I melt into my mind Euphoria creeps in every way Numb my lips Soak my spine A million chills in this parade Take a hit You know it's time You're over the hills and far away Woah Oh Oh, oh Woah Oh Oh, oh I thought I convinced you to leave all your worries behind But you're in love with familiar Can't even see why you threw it away I am blind Can you feel us start to taper It's everything I pictured when I was young I won't have to feel sorry A million words fall short define An exodus ambivalence It's not as simple To think you're strong It's not as simple As a loaded gun It's not as simple To think you're strong It's not as simple To keep moving on

I feel like falling Slowly falling Hand grenades just pulled But yet to blast Light the field all up in a minute And I've no care to hold the world up I've no Charles Atlas shoulders But here's my hand to force me with this pen On the dotted line Light the fire Man for hire Take your spot Center stage The spotlight on your face As the crowd Raise their brows You can't avert their gaze I fear my dear forsaken For I can never hold you in my hands And I will never call you up to fight this silence How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone I still have faith to fight the feeling Nothing's real forever fading But I've forgotten it's all in my head (I've forgotten it's all in my) Light the fire Man for hire Take your spot Center stage The spotlight on your face As the crowd Raise their brows You can't avert their gaze I fear my dear forsaken For I can never hold you in my hands And I will never call you up to fight this silence How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone I fear my dear forsaken For I can never hold you in my hands And I will never call you up to fight this silence How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone How can I atone

Call It Karma 04:04

Princess You're the angel on the Christmas tree in the middle of summer It's the wrong time And you're a long way from home At 17 you was a stone-cold stunner At 23 you couldn't find anyone And now you're pissed off All alone No Way Out Let's call it karma baby, yeah Let's call it karma baby, yeah Let's call it what it really is You'll pay the price Until the score is even Let's call it karma baby Dream team Got swept in the first round Lost the beat And you still haven't found it No Way Out Let's call it karma baby, yeah Let's call it karma baby, yeah Let's call it what it really is You'll pay the price Until the score is even Let's call it karma baby As much as I'd like to I cannot forget you I severed all ties But the memories still get through It's weighed on my mind since the scene of the crime Time heals all wounds that it doesn't destroy It's holding me back And it's holding me under Male seeking air and a lost sense of wonder If I could describe it The best word is "numb" Deaf, dumb, and blind to the beat of the drum But it's pounding It's pounding It's pounding on me Please don't let up I've been lying asleep And the world has been passing me by I know it's too late to recover lost time But the future's in front of me I'm setting out to be Everything I was for you And better For better or worse You're my blessing and curse In this verse of my life I emerge out the back of the hearse I repressed it all away Now nothing means anything I'm covered in scars Forgot who you are Cuz somehow that makes things much better Now I found the words to say Things worked out better this way You'd make things so hard But now that you're gone I'm putting the pieces together again So sick and tired for So long can't take no more So sick and tired for So long can't take no more So sick and tired so End this endless war Let's call it karma baby, yeah (Let's call it karma) Let's call it karma baby, yeah (Let's call it karma) Let's call it what it really is You'll pay the price until the score is even (So sick and tired for so long can't take no More) Let's call it karma baby

Take a picture It'll last longer Your laugh packs current to the fuse Light me up Or let me down real slow It makes no difference how I lose Like brake lights 94 Watch me hit the floor Hit the floor Hit the lights I'm out the door Watch me hit the floor Hit the floor And the longest second Looks a mile wide My mind Is in the centrifuge Same page But different story Old song The rhythm got boring I guess It wasn't our kinda scene Same fate Retaliatory Ten-fold Delivered in glory Payback Unlimited currency Payback Unlimited currency Wait Go Getaway in stereo I'm old New Borrowed 'til I'm blue Bounce the field Like Houston 6th Ward Feels like something You should never do Same page But different story Old song The rhythm got boring I guess It wasn't our kinda scene Same fate Retaliatory Ten-fold Delivered in glory Payback Unlimited currency Payback Unlimited currency Spinning around Watch me spinning around Biting my tongue Til there's blood in my mouth This ride is never-ending My back's breaking from the bending Same page But different story Old song The rhythm got boring I guess It wasn't our kinda scene Same fate Retaliatory Ten-fold Delivered in glory Payback Unlimited currency Same page But different story Old song The rhythm got boring I guess It wasn't our kinda scene Same fate Retaliatory Ten-fold Delivered in glory Payback Unlimited currency Payback Unlimited currency Oh Take a picture It'll last longer Your laugh packs current to the fuse Light me up Or let me down real slow It makes no difference how I lose Take a picture (Look at the lines on my face) It'll last longer (You can't tell me I don't) Your laugh packs current to the fuse (Fit the bill, fit the bill) (I'm so thrilled, I'm so thrilled) Light me up (Look at the lines on my face) Or let me down real slow (You can't tell me I don't) It makes no difference how I lose (Fit the bill, fit the bill)

Some Type of Way 03:49

There's a tremble in your voice and It struck a chord in me I can't pin down the reason why I'm Bursting at the seams But there's beauty in the broken Although it's hard to see Oh just remember Just remember Just to breathe Some type of way Carried away to the sea Hold tight to me And let the waves crash over everything Everything There's a darkness in the ocean Where all the birds and bees Settle down in summertime To reassess the scene If this candle isn't burning And you're struggling to see Oh just remember Just remember Just to breathe Some type of way Carried away to the sea Hold tight to me And let the waves crash over everything Everything But don't let go of me Some type of way Carried away to the sea Hold tight to me And let the waves crash over everything Everything But don't let go of me Da da da da, da da da

Platypus 03:23

Take a life atypical Make it seem extraordinary We move centripetal We don't move linearly But life's all good all in all Nothing much to write home about so We take the Sentinal And copy/paste our backgrounds in it We won't dance to the status quo Suit and tie with the socks and sandals Don't look so quizzical You know we don't quite fit in But what's a platypus supposed to do When it's a feature in a petting zoo I'm kinda thinking it ain't gonna last But don't it just make you sad to feel it I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Hopeless instead Cuz we can't pretend To beat around the bush With a straight-face effigy I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Do what they say Today Their way That way And never let your mouth speak otherwise Here to stay vs. the fadeaway Got a lot left to say but not just The food left on the dinner plate The cook's got something up his sleeve cooking Do not fail to appreciate The art that still permeates Why try to fight the gravity It keeps all of our heads from flying away I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Hopeless instead Cuz we can't pretend To beat around the bush With a straight-face effigy I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Do what they say Today Their way That way And never let your mouth speak otherwise Like a shirt with a stain (Like a shirt with a stain) That you can't wash out (That you can't wash out) There's no hope for you here (Why are you still here) There's no reason to shout I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Hopeless instead Cuz we can't pretend To beat around the bush With a straight-face effigy I know I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Do what they say Today Their way That way And never let your mouth speak otherwise I know We're never gonna be Anything that they want us to be Do what they say (You better) Do what they say (You better) Do what they Do what they Do what they say

Right when I walked in your room I've never known a place so scary I sat down right next to you I never felt so much like me I said hey let's get out of here Take a walk down empty streets When it's so dark at 5:00 a.m We'll be the only ones to breathe Let's swing from The castle Cross the bridge Over hassle It's just us Under night skies Where we'll run And whisper little lies I'm running out of words to describe how I'm feeling Reach down my throat and pull up through the ceiling Heart skips a beat but I don't feel a thing You are my drug You're my novocaine Follow my eyes and we'll dive off the deep end All of your dirtiest secrets revealing Under the covers we're numbing the pain You are my drug You're my novocaine Let it be known this night's ours Tell me every thought you're thinking Pretty little retired sunset On a black lake mesmerizing The warmest rain will pour down Like I got tricks up my sleeve Feel the face of a quiet moon And tell me that you never want to leave Let's swing from The castle Cross the bridge Over hassle It's just us Under night skies Where we'll run And whisper little lies I'm running out of words to describe how I'm feeling Reach down my throat and pull up through the ceiling Heart skips a beat but I don't feel a thing You are my drug You're my novocaine Follow my eyes and we'll dive off the deep end All of your dirtiest secrets revealing Under the covers we're numbing the pain You are my drug You're my novocaine Are you Sealed with A kiss Like this Are you Sealed with A kiss My wish Let's swing from The castle Cross the bridge Over hassle It's just us And our little white lies To fuel this spark instead And watch the world ignite I'm running out of words to describe how I'm feeling Reach down my throat and pull up through the ceiling Heart skips a beat but I don't feel a thing You are my drug You're my novocaine Follow my eyes and we'll dive off the deep end All of your dirtiest secrets revealing Under the covers we're numbing the pain You are my drug You're my novocaine

I love the sun But it's too hot to go outside If I get heat stroke I could die This global warming's sure to kill off all my plants Guess we can thank Grandpa for that But I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm wasting All my time Just pacing Back and forth Retracing Footprints in my mind The safe thing's Probably not consensus Stay put on the fence just Never pick a side Like a deer in the headlights I love the rain But it's been raining all the time I'm better off staying inside My yard's all flooded And it's killing all my plants That's not the way that I had (That's not the way that I had) I'm wasting All my time Just pacing Back and forth Retracing Footprints in my mind The safe thing's Probably not consensus Stay put on the fence just Never pick a side Like a deer in the headlights Paralyze Sterilize Stay alive Only ever wanting to look out for you Paralyze Sterilize Stay alive Only ever wanting to look out for you Paralyze Sterilize Stay alive Only ever wanting to look out for you Paralyze Sterilize Stay alive Only ever wanting to look out for you For you For you For you I'm wasting All my time Just pacing Back and forth Retracing Footprints in my mind The safe thing's Probably not consensus Stay put on the fence just Never pick a side Like a deer in the headlights

Woah Woah Woah Woah I'll be over by 10 I'm picturing you all dolled up The anticipation Makes it harder to focus much Softly speaking your name You got me thinking some type of way Of your breath on my skin But the feeling gets lost off far away Now I'm asking you What's wrong girl Talk to me Stone-cold hands Trembling Break down Right in front of me This time I'll listen This time I'll listen One mistake it takes To let you down again I'm not guilty, no But I'm not innocent I'm hell-bent on you because you're heaven-sent Won't let lonely break your heart I'll be over in 10 Am I pushing the point across Because I'm missing you baby And I can't write another story of how love lost So I'm asking you What's wrong girl Talk to me Stone-cold hands Trembling Break down Right in front of me This time I'll listen This time I'll listen One mistake it takes To let you down again I'm not guilty, no But I'm not innocent I'm hell-bent on you because you're heaven-sent Won't let lonely break your heart It's truly such a shame To leave this all behind I worked so hard for you Just to call you mine But I just dragged my feet While you took your time You say you're okay But I don't think you're fine You say you're okay But I don't think you're fine You say you're okay But I don't think you're fine No You say you're okay But I don't think you're fine No, no, no, no Can I save some face Just to feel real again I get lost alone When I'm down a friend I'm missing you more Than you think I can So just hear me out One mistake it takes To let her in again I'm not guilty, no But I'm not innocent I'm hell-bent on you because you're heaven-sent Won't let lonely break your heart Woah Woah Woah Woah

Placebo Take effect Can't shake these voices In my head Time ticks It's constantly hostile I'm wide awake Back to face the fact I burnt myself Just thinking back I play it over in slow-motion From far away So far away So far away This has taken its toll Taken its toll on me Out of control Viciously spiraling I'm on my own (I'm on my own) I'm on my own Why can't I let go When holding on's irony Placebo Take effect Empty tank I can't make it back No one is here to rescue me from myself Catching a heavy breath Sick to my heart This could be it Crushing my chest until all my veins flattened cold Cuz it's taken its toll Taken its toll on me Out of control Viciously spiraling I'm on my own (I'm on my own) I'm on my own Why can't I let go When holding on's irony This has taken its toll Taken its toll on me Out of control Viciously spiraling I'm on my own I'm on my own Loneliness is a silent killer (I'm on my own) Loneliness is a silent killer (I'm on my own) This has taken its toll Taken its toll on me Out of control Viciously spiraling I'm on my own (I'm on my own) I'm on my own Why can't I let go When holding on's irony

I'm at the start Please tell me where to go You reach out for me right in front of you But I'm miles down the road The depths It grows Beneath The doubt in the silence Exhale A cool Relief Turn off all the sirens I want To make Believe That we can get through this Did you know Lately I try Everything hasn't been perfect Our epitaph is written in cursive And I blame myself for this I don't know why But for the first time It feels like a lie When I say that I- Is this it I don't know How do I do this Call the shrink Cuz I think That I won't Make it through this And I'll lift myself off the earth Til I make it home Lately I try Everything hasn't been perfect Our epitaph is written in cursive And I blame myself for this I don't know why But for the first time It feels like a lie When I say that I- It's a storm In my head Bright lightning I am lost I haven't Done anything To deserve What is worse Call it a dream No I decipher the words But what do you mean It's all downhill For me I'm at the start (Start, start) Please tell me where to go (Go, go, go, go) You reach out for me Right in front of you But I'm miles down the road I'm miles down the road (I'm miles down the road) (I'm miles down the road) Lately I try Everything hasn't been perfect Our epitaph is written in cursive And I blame myself for this I don't know why But for the first time It feels like a lie Yeah I know that I lie Lie Lie Lie
