Cryin' Shame 03:13
I could tell you all I don't know It wouldn't be news to you I'm aware I'm easy to outgrow After all I know me through and through I am callin' out your name I am takin'all the blame I am askin' all the same Let me be your cryin' shame I was born to be alone What I've got to give is not so great You're telling me to leave your home I'll be sure to close the gate I am callin' out your name I am takin' all the blame I am askin' all the same Let me be your cryin' shame I am callin' out your name I am takin' all the blame I am askin' all the same Let me be your cryin' shame

Anxiety 02:56
This year has been a catastrophe Watched my whole life floating by absently Following just behind as it tugs my leash This life has been good and bad to me Chemicals help me hold on to sanity Slow things down enough to get some peace Anxiety gets the best of me Modern medicine doesn't quite compete One day I'll learn to take control I fear just about everything Pulse shoots up when the phone or the doorbell rings I imagine the car flying off the road By now I've learned to live with it I hang on tight when my heart starts to race a bit Tell myself it probably won't explode Anxiety gets the best of me Modern medicine doesn't quite compete One day I'll learn to take control

I don't know what I'd do If I got to talk to you I've seen you for a while walking by with your little smile You'd probably shoot me down and I'd still have to see you around so I will never tell and it's likely just as well I saw you buying records and I saw you at the coffee shop I didn't hear your order but I bought the same record you got Never ever thought I'd write a song like this But I've never seen a girl like you I never liked when people write songs like this But now I know they're true I don't know what I'll do If I can't talk to you maybe this is worth a shot to untie these stomach knots Even if you shoot me down I'll still get to see you around I'll try to move along and finish up this stupid song I saw you buying records and I saw you at the coffee shop I didn't hear your order but I bought the same record you got Never ever thought I'd write a song like this But I've never seen a girl like you I never liked when people write songs like this But now I know they're true Never ever thought I'd write a song like this But I've never seen a girl like you I never liked when people write songs like this But now I know they're true

When I was a boy Got left off the team They treated me mean Cried all the way home My mama said I love you so good I love you so good I love you so good One day she got sick Seemed like she faded away I didn't know what to say I just shut down But my mama said I love you so good I love you so good I love you so good Now it's just me I'm living alone Wish I could pick up the phone One more time To hear my mama say I love you so good I love you so good I love you so good

Amplified 03:43
Once when I was asleep The car left the road Tumbled through the air I heard the crunching bone We nearly died But I came alive Life was amplified A child crossing the street Hit by a car Flew through the air Glasses crushed on the tar He nearly died But he came alive Life was amplified Almost got in a fight They didn't like how we looked Somehow got away We got off the hook We could have died But we came alive Life was amplified

Into My Mind 03:56
Please accept my apology For messaging so late I really hope this find you well Or finds you at any rate I know you've found me distant Trailing off in mid-thought As a matter of fact, right now [Spoken: “Ummmm, I was gonna say something but I already forgot”] But I'm going right into my mind I don't care whoever's there I won't be back for quite some time I'm going right into my mind I'll meet you back but I can't say when And I can't say I won't just leave again People always tell me It’'s like you're barely there I can sit across a table And vanish into the air I'm not antisocial I'm lonely much of my life But even when I'm not alone I'm only there with you part-time 'Cause I'm going right into my mind I don't care whoever's there I won't be back for quite some time I'm going right into my mind I'll meet you back but I can't say when And I can't say I won't just leave again I'm going right into my mind I don't care whoever's there I won't be back for quite some time I'm going right into my mind I'll meet you back but I can't say when And I can't say I won't just leave again I'm going right into my mind I don't care whoever's there I won't be back for quite some time I'm going right into my mind I'll meet you back but I can't say when And I can't say I won't just leave again

Mirrorball 04:06
Driving downtown, running late Take a left here, going back to '98 Hearing something new Cracking off the walls Green and white and blue Bouncing from the mirror ball It wasn't always like this It won't be here for long One day what these buildings mean Will all be dead and gone Over fire code, walls drip with sweat Drugs and drugs and alcohol Burning cigarettes Drummer's on five gallons, bodies flying off the stage Someone keeps it balanced, needle pushing off the gauge It wasn't always like this It won't be here for long One day what these buildings mean Will all be dead and gone Driving downtown, running late Take a left here, going back to '98 Hearing something new Cracking off the walls Green and white and blue Bouncing from the mirror ball
