Not for Me 03:28
Friendship is a noose and I’ve cut down every one Love is suffocation, love is not for everyone Love is not for me, love is not for me Love is not for me, no love is not for me I never saw you in the light the way the others did I only saw you in the darkness, only saw you where you hid I saw you in the evening and underneath the moon I get so disconnected, I always pull away too soon Love is not for me, love is not for me Love is not for me, love is not for me Summertime is easy when you’ve got nowhere to go Your beauty is a cancer and the sunshine makes it grow The grass was always greener till I wound up in the dirt You told me I would fall there, you told me it would hurt Love is not for me, love is not for me Love is not for me, love is not for ... It’s warm outside but I’m so fucking cold The kids are playing and I’m growing old The sun is shining but I’m so cold The planet spins and it’s oh so slow Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Love is not for me, love is not for me Love is not for me, love is not for me Love is not for me no, no no no, love is not for me Love is not for me no, no no no, love is not for … Love is not for me, love is not for me Never will it be, love is not for me

Monster 04:19
Are you lost, dear? I don’t see you anymore Are you scared, love? Are you scared to close that door? Remember … Remember when you looked for me? Did you look for me? Remember … Remember when you felt so free? Felt so free I’m a monster, you said Hiding under your bed Cryptic words are erased By the lines on your face You’ll understand when I’m older and you’re still young I taped your mouth shut and I cut out your tongue I chewed up your bones and I spit them out Now I sit here and wait, bleeding from the mouth I’m a monster, you said Hiding under your bed Cryptic words are erased By the lines on your face When you bled for me, I did not feel a thing When you loved me I did not love anything I severed all your ties when you needed help Now I want you to find me in someone else I’m a monster, you said As you lay there half dead I’m a monster, I know But I’m letting you go

I miss your lips and the way they would smile when you lie with me I miss your hips, pale blue eyes and the parts no one else could see I’ll find you at the end of the world I’ll find you at the end of the world Salvation waits on the ball of my tongue till the end of time I never told you the truth, never stood tall when you were mine I’ll find you at the end of the world I’ll find you at the end of the world I never sleep since you’re gone but I live in another’s dream My eyes are bloodshot and red, losing sight of everything I’ll find you at the end of the world I’ll find you at the end of the world Oh When the sky is falling I will save you When the ocean spills into the city, I swear you won’t be drowning baby I will find you like I promised when we were fighting with ourselves I will walk through every raging fire, I will drag you up from Hell All right I miss your lips and the way they would smile when you lie with me I miss your hips, pale blue eyes and the parts no one else could see You always knew what to say, called me out, pulled me back again I cut you off, let you down, but I hardly knew you then I’ll find you at the end of the world I’ll find you at the end of the world I love you but I never said the words I’ll find you at the end of the world Oh

War 06:23
So helpless, so destroyed Watch our minds go to war Visions of Hell, flame upon flame Two lovers broken in the worst way Death speaks through what remains The shattered and the mouths of dismay A nightmare came to life When you thought we were safe Flames keep rising like you said You lock yourself inside your head We’ll never see the light of day In this cold room so far away All is written and none of this will change Our vagrant hearts will never be claimed Nothing’s hidden, the truth will tear us down When summer comes, the cold will remain It’s not fate, we told no lies Chaos reigns, it blinds your eyes Shout it out loud, cry until we’re sore The echoing is so relentless The end is nearing, if there’s such a thing As we approach, we’re so defenseless The witches run, the preachers stay In this old town where children pray All is written and none of this will change Our vagrant hearts will never be claimed Nothing’s hidden, the truth will tear us down When summer comes, the cold will remain When one is taken, I’m crippled and I fall I’m falling now To muted voices, I stumble and I crawl And I’m crawling now So helpless, so insane In blindness, chaos reigns
