This is not a system failure
This is just an update
Read the terms and conditions
You must adjust your bitrate
Some hosts cannot connect
This is not forever
Protocols changing fast
Old ways must be severed
System update installing now
Deviation will not be allowed
System update is coming to you
Please accept it
There's nothing you can do
The environment is changing
It was always coming
Too many users breaking policy
The network is humming
This is all in the license
You were informed
Your reaction will be silence
Can't say that you weren't warned
System update installing now
Deviation will not be allowed
System update is coming to you
Please accept it
There's nothing you can do

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

Songs Like This

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

Love You So Good
04:34

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
