"Hey Grayson, do you have ear plugs? "Not on me" "I'm staying here anyway. Fuck it." "Don't do it man, come to this side of the room. You might have a child one day, you'll wanna hear 'em so bad." "Damn, that was really heavy!" There’s no other story but this It’s always something The hand forcing sticks into its spokes Sleeping for a day or sleep for five minutes But only for a day or two if you’re lucky See, I sold my board for twenty bucks 'Cause I didn't want to break my arm save the strings And now it’s like angry songs make me feel worse Happy songs make me feel like a liar I’m a 90s kid, yeah I'm-I’m from the sounds of hollow walls and steep secondhand steps From below the stairs Hovering above the brick stages Plastic sheets don’t keep out the cold It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts I swear to God it hurts If it comes worse for worse I got a million in the stack and always one in the cavity I think I’m witnessing the end of the world And I like it

I was born for a storm and the calm does not suit me Imagine no, no possessions You may say I’m a dreamer The simple act, focusing, paying attention Can take you a long way My life in my hands is absolute bullshit Wading in the grime of the rotten dead Everything is bright now where I live Everything is bright now where I live Imagine no, no possessions You may say I’m a dreamer The simple act, focusing, paying attention Can take you a long way It starts cold and always ends in fire

It takes more than wealth to introduce a god of your own It takes stones, it takes mud, it takes hands It takes plague after plague after plague after plague It takes a lowercase of faith It takes knees on the ground It takes heads looking down At anyone but yourself At anything but myself I shot the sparrow from suspended flight I took its wings, learned its song and rehearsed Appetite filled with curses in hand Spread them around at incriminating rates I’ll read the lines between I’ll write the lines between Can you see them? Look, I’m not perfect I’ll change with the new wave I’ll adjust to everything Everything and everything But anything I know I’m right when I just don't care I'll feel when you give me air And I’ll suffocate and not care I’ll breathe then I’ll steal the air Can I get a little less conversation and a lot more action please? No one is looking at me So I guess I don’t exist at all Exist at all Happiness and a shivering gun, yeah Happiness and a shivering gun Shivering gun I’ll read the lines between I’ll write the lines between Can you see them? I’m not perfect I’ll change with the new wave I’ll adjust to everything Everything and everything But anything I know I’m right when I just don't care I'll feel when you give me air And I’ll suffocate and not care I’ll breathe then I’ll steal the air I’m right when I just don't care I'll feel when you give me air And I’ll suffocate and not care I’ll breathe then I’ll steal the air

Don’t call it a nightmare We’ll never have any dream like this Don’t call it a miracle We never noticed them anyway Don't call it a vibration Count backwards and walk yourself back-back-back back I never asked you for anything anyway Drag me up, skinned alive Take my bones, thrown aside You can have them, I don't want them back Push me down, fight for breath, you’re alive I can swim on the floor above you Have more endurance than you I can suffer so much better than you If you want to stab me in the back, stand behind me first It all dries up on you 'cause I’m worth more dead More dead than alive We are the cool kids, we are the cool kids, oh We are the cool kids, we are the cool kids Don’t call it a comeback I was never here to begin with Don't call it a resurrection I could only wish for such things If you want to stab me in the back, stand behind me first It all dries up on you 'cause I’m worth more dead than alive I spent too much time trying to figure it out How the world works and less how I work within it If I stare into the abyss, it never stares back at me We don’t fight for victory, we fight from it We are the cool kids, we are the cool kids We fight from it We are the cool kids, we are the cool kids now

White flags to start the war White flags to start the war White flags to start the war White flags to start the war A mountain of fire, a valley of smoke That which was above is now below Sing to me in silence, break me back together Fractured in one piece The wolves hide from the sheep Dig sparrows from the dirt The wolves hide from the sheep Pull snakes from the clouds The wolves hide from the sheep Let them war and kill each other on neutral ground White flags to start the war White flags to start the war White flags to start the war White flags to start the war Pale horse come home

Love in the time Secondhand social passage A scripted interaction Conversation is truly random Threshing at the end And shaking like a rushing vein This is the introduction now Graven effigy, rendered before every eye Do your work with the desolate Broken before the providence, every saint Can you feel the lashing of the death sail? Visions of war Oh, there’s no interest in pleasing the ones looking for Searching ways to misunderstand You Gutter press talk shows and you don’t know me Testimony But I could never understand myself You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought But I know what you’re paying out to rake up its rot No reverence for life or limb But I would never disrespect the legacy they held Pressure mends if you apply it or fall beneath it Prisons and graveyards are filled with heads that wore the crown Whisper me a killing word Oh I will find you in the darkness In the darkness, everlasting Spitting fire and brimstone at every turn I see everything, I see everything Hail the restless, the ranks and to all that are starved We’ll come back to, to accelerate Floor it all to the ground You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought (We don’t know ourselves) You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought (We don’t know our) You can’t know every bruise I’ve bought But I know what you’re paying out to rake up its rot No reverence for life or limb But I would never disrespect the legacy they held Pressure mends if you apply it or fall beneath it Prisons and graveyards are filled with heads that wore the crown This is the killing word Ra Whisper to me a killing word Yeah Whisper to me a killing word

Balance is everything to me now Eyes closed doesn't make anything disappear So calm on the outside I’m freaking out on the inside Now cast is inspiration always cutting you down to dust Off easily harmed, never effortlessly manipulated Understand I requested every door to ca-ca- ca-ca- cast Out everything you measure And everything that tries to measure you Balance is everything to me now Eyes closed doеsn't make anything disappear Motionless on thе outside I’m an avalanche on the inside Now cast is inspiration always cutting you down to dust Off easily harmed, never effortlessly manipulated Understand I requested every door to ca-ca- ca-ca- cast Out everything you measure And everything that tries to measure you Balance, and eyes closed I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be okay Everything is gonna be okay Now cast is inspiration always cutting you down to dust Off easily harmed, never effortlessly manipulated Understand I requested every door to ca-ca- ca-ca- cast Out everything you measure And everything that tries to measure you Where are you? And who told you you were naked?

You want the things and the promises from before You were a killer before yet from before I just don't need anyone else to answer Crouched down citizens will gather up their ranks Charging everyone down together One by one, one hundred by a hundred So just for a moment, they can fall above you So what am I supposed to look for? Where am I supposed to be found? Carry me in every direction or lead me up 'Cause you're every way down So what am I supposed to look for? Where am I supposed to be found? Carry me in every direction or lead me up 'Cause you're every way down 'Cause you're every way down Sub-sub-subject position, crooked lines Become distorted over time Arrows in spines that never existed Who wants to break another fall? Don't worry, we'll get there at the same time Forever is just another word now Forever is just another word now The world is not meant for me Or I am not meant for it I am not meant for it The world is not meant for me Or I am not meant for it I am not meant for it This world was never meant for me Or I was never meant for it This world was never meant for me Or I was never meant for it This world was never meant for me Or I was never meant for it This world was never meant for me Or I was never meant for it So what am I supposed to look for? (This world was never meant for me) Where am I supposed to be found? (Or I was never meant for it) Carry me in every direction (This world was never meant for me) Carry me in every direction (Or I was never meant for it) 'Cause you're every way...
