Hoop 04:11
I pay attention like taxes to what they say matters Will I ever have a life of my own? I’m throwing fits like daggers Caged and I’m rabid, but they’re never gonna let me go I play this game and when I think that I’ve won Then whoah, there’s a hoop waiting on me Then whoah, there’s a hoop waiting on me, waiting on me. These ball and chain expectations, feign like they’re wightless Till I agree to put them on This suburban agenda sets fire to my temper And I’m just trying not to let it blow I play this game and when I think that I’ve won Then whoah, there’s a hoop waiting on me Then whoah, there’s a hoop waiting on me, waiting on me. There’s no end to these hoops that I jump through for you.

Heard 03:42
She said pay me what you owe me, all of your attention Show me that you know me, give me a connection, all of your affection too, all the rest of you. Cause all of my words fall out underwater Never quite learn to swim like they oughta Drowned down and out in blue, on their way to you Square sounds in a round ear Tangled prayers trapped in the atmosphere We’re tongues running out of time To give to the heart what the head can’t find A world wide awake tonight wondering what it takes to be heard All we want is just to be heard Watching my words all collapse like Babylon Let the smoke clear brush is off and rabble on Oh how do I get through? How do I get you? Yeah, we can crack codes all night if you wanna Saying what you mean don’t mean that we’re gonna Ever build love from lust, ever be more than just a Square sound in a round ear. Tangled prayer trapped in the atmosphere We’re tongues running out of time To give to the heart what the head can’t find A world wide awake tonight wondering what it takes to be heard All we want is just to be heard

Oh we’re living it up in a singlewide castle And baby there ain’t no reason why We should be held down by the dazzle of the flashier life Cause we got what we need to make the finest CUISINE Out of three simple letters baby, E. B. and T. So lets turn this fader down on all of these haters and stream some Netflix on jacked wi-fi from the neighbors because We don’t need expensive reasons For this lower class love, this lower class love Already found what everybody’s been seeking In this lower class love, this lower class love You drive me crazy with the off-brand, no-name, budget-conscious kind of way You look at me with those eyes. And girl your sexuality is just like your frugality You want twice of me for half of the price And it blows my mind that it didn’t cost a dime To end up here with you by my side Its either t.p. or tequila, we can’t afford both But there ain’t no one else that I‘d rather be broke with We don’t need expensive reasons For this lower class love, this lower class love Already found what everybody’s been seeking In this lower class love, this lower class love

Enough 03:36
I gave you space, forgave your crimes I gave you everything you begged for and then some to ease your mind I let you run away. I let you stay gone Then I come when you call like some domesticated thing you own Will it ever be enough? Will it ever be enough? You know I drain myself trying to think of how to fill you up Will it ever be enough? I excuse your sins. I take your side. I tend the scratches on the itches of all of your addiction at night. I feed your fire, till its too hot to touch But every night this questions burns like a fever and it keeps me up. Will it ever be enough? Will it ever be enough? You know I drain myself trying to think of how to fill you up Will it ever be enough?

Worthless 03:01
Lose my temper like my car keys Go from ally to enemy I shoot fire like a dragon flame Burn you up make my getaway Apologies are only worth the weight of what they take to say Oh, I never meant to make you feel so worthless When you were the only one thing that was ever worth it. We turn our words into world wars Yeah we fight like we’re megazords And we’ll empty every last clip Till we forget who started it A wounded song is only worth the weight of what it takes to play Oh, I never meant to make you feel so worthless When you were the only one thing that was ever worth it. Oh, I never meant to make you feel so worthless When you were the only one thing. The only one thing.

Limp 03:42
You’ve got that stupid awesome dance you do when you hear that song But now you’ve somehow forgot the moves its been so long Somebody thought that it’d be fun to call you their only one They left you the one and only one who crash-landed lonely Said you would never take a chance again But that’s all we’ll ever be given Said you were never gonna dance again but that guilty feeling will bow to the rhythm Don't wait to live your life till every wrong is made right You used to wonder how the wind could speak and not use words Or why the colors in the sky at every sunset turn You never realized that you gave all your magic to These soft assassinations we call explanations. Said you would never take a chance again But that’s all we’ll ever be given Said you were never gonna dance again but that guilty feeling will bow to the rhythm Don't wait to live your life till every wrong is made right Said you would never take a chance again, Oh you said you were never gonna dance again But that feeling will bow.

Punk Rock 03:30
Do you remember that summer We sold our adderall to pay for gas to make it to the coast and back? Or the night we slept in jail When the cops said they could nail us with you parent’s paraphernalia? There will never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock Never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock All the sin we drank with x’s on our hands Broke the locks on heavy hexes that they said would protect us On the nights we waded out too far from land Swore that we were seeing Jesus on that trip with dirty needles in us There will never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock Never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock Our love isn’t made from the same stuff All the other loves are made of It can’t be tamed with the same drugs Swept away in the same floods Our love isn’t made from the same stuff All the other loves are made of It can’t be washed in the same blood Swept away in the same floods There will never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock Never be a love again There will never be a love again so punk rock

Crimewave 04:39
A shark to blood in open water, you were there to strike Clever how nobody ever picks the dead of light It must have hit you like thunder, feeling the uncontrollable hunger Oblivious I should have known just what these locks were for Mysterious How nobody breaks into an open door And now you’re still in my head even after your gone Now I can feel you breathing over me when I sleep Running our hands over secrets I keep Watching while I wonder: Why me? You hit me like a Crimewave Washing all my safety out to sea Like some kind of ice age I can feel the cold crawling into me And now I’m losing all my faith With every law you violate Lost inside a mind game Too brave to run, too scared to stay in this Crimewave Now locking up is not enough to keep it safe and sound This situation you’ve created can’t be turned around Can’t fall asleep cause I wonder Which of my dreams you’re gonna be under What if I never feel safe again? I can’t stop imagining that every bump in the night is you breaking in What if I never feel safe again? I can’t stop imagining that every bump in the night is you breaking in What if the fear never fades and I can never escape from this Crimewave.

Playbill 05:08
AN anchored heart used to feel so safe Used to keep you from floating away like a feather untethered Secret fears that you had came true, made you Wonder what you were anchored to Oh the playbill was so different Chains feel like love by another name And you’ve been looking for a brand new way to make the same mistake It’s slurry words begging you to stay Restless soul saying walk away How did you end up here anyway? The house on a rock can still be set aflame One taste of another tree Up and broke all the gravity Shackle-born forever we Are all held down by the weight of love The heart beats blood and love so deep Into wild veins that forever plead to be filled with trust or unholy lust a worn out oath on an unworn tongue now a wildfire that you can’t outrun were you fools in love? Was that what is was? You were on your knees begging for escape Now you’re praying for just one more day to make the same mistakes Are we better off Making all the wrong choices Hearing all the voices Drinking all the wrong poisons ? Are we better off than not Making all the wrong choices Hearing all the voices Making all the wrong noises ?
