Dreaming of ashes I woke up choking I was screaming and breathless, my forehead was soaking I've never been told to practice my goodbyes I was aching in places, different times different stages I'd deafened myself with a song that was jaded Fallen from grace, what a shame what a waste this hour was for you. The only way to breathe again is to clamber and claw and scream in our skin The only time we broke the rules was under the light in your room Manipulation wasn't my intention Welcome to Seahaven - the leaves are watching us Intimidation isn't a new invention Welcome to Seahaven - the leaves are watching us Where do you go when you don't get in touch? And I spend days in my own head thinking too much. I know you're not to blame for our sorry tired shame I know you've grown bored of playing the same games I promised you riches, ambitious I failed you With fiction, fiction, fiction, fiction. Where do you go when you don't get in touch? If I could just let this go. The only way to breathe again is to clamber and claw and scream in our skin The only time we broke the rules was under the light in your room Welcome to Seahaven - the leaves are watching us Intimidation isn't a new invention Welcome to Seahaven - the leaves are watching us Welcome to Seahaven Welcome to Seahaven Intimidation isn't a new invention Welcome to Seahaven Welcome to Seahaven

Pockets 03:32
There's a taste in my mouth and I'm squeezing my pockets I know I'm not making much sense I'm clenching my teeth every night in my sleep I never made a promise I didn't think I could keep Stay the same, you're only making footprints either way State your name, you'll remain anonymous either way Play the game, they're all just in it for themselves Stake a claim before you're betrayed There's a gap in my teeth from where I've spat out all these lies You never cared much anyway There's a space in the sound from where I've turned off all the music A soundtrack would only make this worse A silent lesson from a saint; A little old lady so religious and so quaint Taught me I won't make a difference, that I won't stand the test of time Maybe I should listen next time She said: Stay the same, you're only making footprints either way Play the game, they're all just in it for themselves Stake a claim before you're betrayed Self entitled, breath recycled, a question of ability hard persistence, co-existence, a question of futility

Paper & Glue 03:03
I was raised and always taught to follow, but to politely question everything I swallowed I was born without fear and I was born without bones but I quickly filled those holes And I don't believe in fate anymore And I don't believe in art anymore But we can make love out of paper & glue, string it together and be hollow We can make love I'll leave it all up to you, string it together and be hollow Do you believe in something I don't know exists? Do you believe in making plans or taking risks? I think we're going blind but I don't care. Do you believe in fighting 'til you cannot lose? Do you believing in plaguing 'til you cannot move? I think we're going mad but just can't see. I was lost and thrown into the unknown. Exhausted only by my oath to let go. Persuaded to validate my ego and dropped my scaffolding and killed my credo. I don't believe in luck anymore I don't believe in much anymore. Do you believe in something I don't know exists? Do you believe in making plans or taking risks? We can make love out of paper & glue, string it together and be hollow We can make love I'll leave it all up to you, string it together and be hollow

Cougar 04:08
We couldn't grow thinking we were any different Where could we go with nobody on our side? We weren't immune to all the curses We were bound to fall apart. What could we do to change the future Clutch at straws formed at the start? I wanna breathe into your lungs I wanna scream inside your chest I wanna draw across your brain And leave you to guess the rest You said it's just not worth it It was completely perfect The lies we told, the wars we've started It's been this way since we first started Another brick kicked from our wall It won't even last the Winter I'm tired of you thinking of me all alone I guess it could be simpler To look me in the eye and say this isn't working Believe it once and I'll go home Convince me that we've really grown I wanna breathe into your lungs I wanna scream inside your chest I wanna draw across your brain And leave you to guess the rest You said it's just not worth it it was completely perfect The lies we told, the wars we've started It's been this way since we first started You said it's just not worth it It was completely perfect The night you left was black and blue You were the part of me I could look up You said it's just not worth it It was completely perfect You said it's just not worth it It was completely perfect.

End Scene 03:44
Pack it, lock it, box it all up I'm better at it when I'm bleeding Drag, skip, stagger, tripping me up it's harder when these ends are flailing Request, request I'm drifting further Entrusting in trust, cheating myself Request, request it's getting longer I'm swallowing false pretenses I am the end unravelling Spiraling and uninspiring Lose my grip, then I lose my mind It flickers, fades then breaks us down I'm a bitter broken record But you're the needle hurting me Truthfully? Truthfully. Sincerely us. Pace, end scene. This act is weary Please, end scene. This act is wearing Sorry I don't feel like dreaming My pennies dried and rusted in that well. Dub me heartless, then ignore me Your hypocrisy is irony I saw it from the side of your bed A love note on the back of a card Again I'm going for the one Who wants fuck all to do with me How long can you drag me along? I've been waiting here for so long Losing grip to feel excited Fingers glued and mood fueled dark blue I'm cutting the string, watching you fall Maybe I was born with it Or maybe I'm just Maybelline I've lost my head and I'm just about 23 Pace, end scene. This act is weary Please, end scene. This act is wearing Sorry I don't feel like dreaming My pennies dried and rusted in that well. Nothing to lose, nothing to prove, nowhere to hide. Nothing to choose, nothing assumed, nowhere to hide. Are we awake? Are we alive? Are we breathing?

Unfamiliar 03:47
I ask what it's like to be stuck in the middle You tell me I should know. At least I've gotten this far Only another six months or so to go. I'm not sure of what I'm waiting for I just know I'm not there yet I'm scared of hurting you along the way But if I don't there will be nothing left An empty life, a useless shell, a shadow of what used to care. A restless limp, a careful movement, the loving way we used to share. I'm taller now but that's a lie, I wish advice was all you'd left behind I'm sorry for you every day. I wanna be everything but I've stopped trying to be anything I'm not used to this kind of cold I hate this time of year. I'm sitting on this damp cold fence Afraid of jumping off and it making sense In case I think you're right and leave your side I think we've made a huge mistake . An empty life, a useless shell, a shadow of what used to care. A restless limp, a careful movement, the loving way we used to share. I'm taller now but that's a lie, I wish advice was all you'd left behind I'm sorry for you every day. Falling - wasn't the easiest thing to do. Freezing - shaking my body next to you. Changing - I should have known you could follow through. Falling - wasn't the easiest thing to do Pleasing - I should have pushed right next to you Crawling - Making my way back to you. And I can't look you in the eye because you know my life's a lie. For 24 months I've walked these same streets twice a day And I never caught sight of you or heard something you might say. For the last two weeks I've been thinking of you screaming at me and it's making me weak. I need to call you up and tell you that I miss you.

Picture Me 02:40
Picture this you're in a dark tunnel when it starts caving in And you're stuck inside with nowhere to go and your sanity's wearing thin there's riots outside and you know it's unsafe 'Least it's better than this horrible horrible place Your heart's a keeper and your mind is on fire 'least you now know that I'm not a liar And they say it's a state of mind And they say I'm a state and you'll probably find that they're right, they usually are I'm a loose cannon trapped in a three door car Picture Me when you're falling asleep and your mind begins to stray No one's telling you what to think or what rules you're meant to obey There are people out here wanting you to succeed, People in here knowing you're a person in need Your heart's a keeper and your mind is on fire 'least you now know that I'm not a liar And they say it's a state of mind And they say I'm a state and you'll probably find that they're right, they usually are I'm a loose cannon trapped in a three door car Maybe now you can see where I've been coming from Maybe now you'll believe me Your heart's a keeper and your mind is on fire At least you know now that I'm not a liar And they say it's a state of mind over matter And they say I'm a state and you'll probably find that they're right, they usually are I'm a loose cannon trapped in a three door car

What are your eyes on? Watch the horizon. Hoping the sun doesn't set too soon. What are your eyes on? Watch the horizon. Hoping the sun doesn't set before I kiss you. Feeling something I'm not supposed to. And I ask you What are your eyes on? Watch the horizon. Hoping the sun doesn't set too soon. What are your eyes on? Watch the horizon. Hoping the sun doesn't set before I kiss you. I don't care, I can see in the dark. I don't care, I won't let you fall apart. I'm sitting across the room Thinking and breathing and speaking too soon. Feeling something I'm not supposed to. And I ask you Why are we fighting? Don't let the light in. Another night won't kill us now. Why are we fighting? Just let the night win. No one said that this would last. I don't care, I can see in the dark. I don't care, I won't let you fall apart. I'm sitting across the room Thinking and breathing and speaking too soon. Feeling something I'm not supposed to. Another wasted day, I should have spent away I feel the weather changing, I feel we're ever changing And I'll be on the floor spitting out my words i feel the weather changing, I feel we're ever changing And I'd cut myself in half if it made sense to Leave the remnants in the past, they had so little to do with you And we'll leave ourselves behind because ourselves will last forever Another wasted day. Another wasted day, I should have spent away I feel the weather changing, I feel we're ever changing.

Hallenbad 03:11
Engaging your senses You're scratching your skin The room wont stop spinning I'll just let you win Perfectly timed Your own indiscretions I wasn't prepared For natural progression You're wishing on mouthfuls Of breath for a future Saluting in secret It was all just a rumour Your breath filled the air And the sun lit the ceiling Your eyes frozen shut Your eyelids were healing Past indiscretions The theme of our year Countless asked questions Numbing my fears Let me hold my breath for you Enough was enough We were made from the same stuff Cut from a cloth that stays safe and stays nameless Suffered in silence Excuses are timeless We've just built an island to escape all the lies And I can't float when you're drowning.
