Room on Fire

So please wake me up
If the room’s caught fire
I want to watch it burn
The flames can lick my heels
Is it so hard to relate?
When you don’t know how it feels?
Well honey I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
Don’t breathe them in
The toxic fumes that
Drag us down a hole
Don’t fall back in again
Because I don’t like who I was
And I don’t like who I am
‘Cause honey I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
No I don’t feel a thing
And I just can’t go on
The end it draws too near
The dark won’t lead to dawn
We’ll only disappear
If we can’t feel a thing
Please wake me up
If the bed’s caught fire
I want to watch it turn
My body into ash
I guess we never learned
How to make the good times last
Cause honey we don’t feel a thing
No we don’t feel a thing
No we don’t feel a thing
No we don’t feel a thing
Don’t you want it back at all?
Don’t you want it back at all?
Don’t you want it back at all?
Don't you want it?
The room’s on fire
It soon will all be over
The room’s on fire
It soon will all be over
The rooms on fire
It soon will all be over
The room's on fire
I burned it down

Rat in the City
03:41
|

|
Working to pay rent
I get sick from drinking
There’s gotta be a better way to live
I fall back to old tricks
All comfort with no risk
There’s gotta be a better way
There’s gotta be a better way to live
Oh, yeah come lock me up
Oh, yeah keep my mouth shut
I ain’t fancy, I live in a shanty
Oh, yeah I’m just a rat in the city
Scrounging for good sense
I dropped down, I’m sinking
No I thought I’d never come to this
I get up to get high
Keep wasting all my time
There’s gotta be a better way
There’s gotta be a better way
Oh, yeah come lock me up
Oh, yeah keep my mouth shut
I ain’t fancy, I live in a shanty
Oh, yeah I’m just a rat in the city
Oh, yeah come lock me up
Oh, yeah keep my mouth shut
I ain’t fancy, I live in a shanty
Oh, yeah I’m just a, I’m just a
I’m just a rat in the city

Boy
03:35
|

Boy, I think I’m broken
At least a bit misshapen
Feeling like I can’t do anything at all
Boy, I think I’m stupid
It’s dripping off my lips
Feeling like I don’t know anything
Climbing up always to fall down, oh no
Oh no
I don’t know
I gotta stand tall
Boy, wish I was golden
So I could hold attention
Feeling like I’m not worth anything
Too long I’ve been in a rut
Wasted days I’ve had enough
Climbing up always go fall down, oh no
Oh no
I don’t know
I gotta stand tall
Such a dark day
With the same old fears
I’m not living up
Such a dark day
With the same old mirror
Who’s staring back this time
Oh no
Oh no
I don’t know
I gotta stand tall
Boy, I think I’m broken

Wanna Be Lonely
03:25
|
|||
|
I took too long to figure you out
Choked on my words and stapled my mouth
Stretched my head to wash it clean
Tweaked my neck now I can’t breathe
You in without getting sick
You pulled me back with each smokey kiss
Filled my lungs with tar and envy
You told me not to let go, let go
That’s enough
Wanna be lonely again
Save your touch
Wanna be lonely again
Smile at the thought of leaving
You took your time to sink your teeth in
It bled me dry, stains seared to my skin
Spread your hands over my eyes
I wanted you to let go, let go
That’s enough
Wanna be lonely again
Save your touch
Wanna be lonely again
Smile at the thought of leaving
That’s enough
Wanna be lonely again
Save your touch
Wanna be lonely again
Wanna be lonely again
Smile at the thought of leaving

Pull My Head Out
02:53
|
|||
|
I suck
Feel like I’m worthless
Feel like a fuck
Failure
Never done anything
Nothing earned
I lock myself inside my room
For days on end with nothing to do
My mom taught me better than this
Dad yelled way too much for this
Kids gave me so much shit for this, yeah
Pull my head out
I suck
Feel like I’m worthless
A hopeless dud
Deadbeat
Living for a paycheck
Ain’t life sweet
Twenty three passed by me like a dream
Gotta get out but I’m in too fucking deep
My mom taught me better than this
Dad yelled way too much for this
Kids gave me so much shit for this, yeah
Pull my head out
Yeah, my mom taught me better than this
Dad yelled way too much for this
Kids gave me so much shit for this, yeah
Pull my head out
Pull my head out
I’ll pull my head out of my ass
Out of my ass

Sides
04:43
|

|
Same as you told me
Same as it ever was
I still don’t know my name
Because I’ll
Just forget about it
Just forget about it all
And I don’t want anyone
To tell me its wrong
Behind my eyes I get a glimpse of you
And I know that you can see me too
Speak my words and illustrate my dreams
Never felt like they were meant for me
I’m dead scared out of my mind
Make it better
Taste my fear and bathe in my sweat
The right to my left
Not me, not mine
It’s always coming from the other side
Not me, not right
It’s always coming from the other side
Split my head to pieces I can’t find
Keep me searching till the end of time
Feel you breathing heavy down my neck
Personality of foreign flesh
I’m dead scared out of my mind
Make it better
Someday soon we’ll figure out who’s who
I’ll be waiting for you
Not me, not mine
It’s always coming from the other side
Not me, not right
It’s always coming from the other side

Let You Down
03:38
|
|||
|
Time to figure shit out
‘Cause I surely thought my life would be
A little more than this
Gotta get a grip
Took a cold cock to the head
Yeah I woke up to a bloody nose
Tastes like copper, oh I’m a goner
Guess that’s the way she rolls
I’m gonna strip down naked
And walk the streets of my old neighborhood
I’ll watch all the kids and parents
Passing by to give me dirty looks
“Oh Mary we always told you
He was gonna let you down”
Well I let you down,
I la-la-let you down
I really let you down
Where is my mind
Yeah I left it in the bleak northeast
Where it’s meant to be
But I had to leave
Should have moved to LA
I’d be soaking in the sun and waves
I pray for summer, but what a bummer
I’m bound by this cold
I’m gonna strip down naked
And walk the streets of my old neighborhood
I’ll watch all the kids and parents
Passing by to give me dirty looks
“Oh Mary we always told you
He was gonna let you down”
Well I let you down,
I la-la-let you down
I really let you down
When I’m at my best
Still a fucking mess
I’ll get better tomorrow
Tomorrow comes I wake
Still the same damn shame
I’ll get better tomorrow
But tomorrow’s just for show
Always over too quick
I’m gonna strip down naked
And walk the streets of my old neighborhood
I’ll watch all the kids and parents
Passing by to give me dirty looks
God can’t save me now
I’m sorry that I let you down
Well I let you down
I la-la-let you down
I really let you, I really let you
I really let you, I really let you
I really let you, let you down
I let you down, I let you down

Everything You Wanted
03:12
|

|
Did you stop and take a minute
Did you sleep through the night
Did you hate feeling nothing, oh no
I like it just fine
Now you ran out your minutes
No more nights to yourself
Did you get what you wanted, oh no
Dragging me through hell
Now you’re smoking in the bathroom
While your guests speak amongst themselves
Do you have enough perfume to get rid of the smell
You got everything you wanted
You got everything you need
But I remember what you looked like
When you were hanging around with me
I’m still working at the same store
Selling strangers beer and wine
To the bars we went to, I still go
I like them just fine, just fine
Now I’m smoking in the bedroom
Yeah the same one we used to share
The smell gets overwhelming but I don’t care
You got everything you wanted
You got everything you need
But I remember what you looked like
When you were hanging around with me
You can keep all of your bullshit to yourself
You got everything you wanted
You got everything you need
But I remember what you looked like
When you were hanging around with me

Space Between

If I’ll feel better tomorrow
Tell me more, tell me more
If I’ll feel different by morning
Tell me why I can’t hold back
Tell me why I can’t compete today
Tell me why I can’t just let go
Let go of mine
‘Cause in the space between the silence
You left me for dead
Mistakes in conversation that get stuck
Inside my head
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said that it would be
Everyday, its everyday
Everyday, that I feel I’m growing old
I know it’s
Everyday, it’s everyday
That I can’t let go
Let go
Let go
Each word I heard you speak
I watched ‘em slip through the door
If it’s just a losing streak
Tell me why I can’t relax
Tell me why I smoked a pack today
Tell me why I can’t just let go
Let go of mine
‘Cause in the space between the silence
You left me for dead
Mistakes in conversation that get stuck
Inside my head
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said that it would be
Everyday, it’s everyday
Everyday, that I feel I’m growing old
I know it’s
Everyday, it’s everyday
That I can’t let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go of mine

Too Cool
03:17
|

|
Easy come and easy go
I better think, I better know
The trend keeps coming
I’m still full from
The latest craze in magazines
The comedy on my TV
It dries my eyes out
Can’t get away from all this fuss
Collagen hearts
Please enhance my beat
Until I’m pretty
Don’t think that I can let it in
Watch me sink or watch me swim
The crowd keeps moving
While I’m fast asleep
It’s too cool for me
Too cool for me
It’s too cool for me
Yeah for me
I’m always a few steps behind
Can’t keep up with these modern times
They pass me right by
Leaves me breathless and tired
Ready or not
There’s no time to plead
Oh no, oh please
Just hold it steady
I’m the kid that never wins
Watch me sink or watch me swim
The crowd’s still moving
While I’m fast asleep
It’s too cool for me
Too cool for me
It’s too cool for me
Yeah for me
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
