The Ward 02:12
lyrics
I hear you stumbling around in the night If you want it I have an extra light Even though you took it you still tripped in your bed And then I heard you used it to hide your meth instead Is this the last time I’ll be here I know this part of me won’t disappear Hey it smells like smoke in the bathroom today But can you please not freak out until I go away Look now those guys are staring at me Or maybe that’s just where their eyes happened to be Is this the last time I’ll be here I know this part of me won’t disappear

ECT 03:04
lyrics
How are you today? have the harmful thoughts gone away? I’m just gonna place, some stickers are your arms and legs No need to worry, we’ve taken care of everything Now you’ll feel a pinch, and can you please try to Keep your eyes open, keep your eyes open Try to keep your eyes open, please try to keep your eyes open I don’t wanna go, the nurses always fuck with me “Can you tell me the day?” they say, “Nice try, now put your phone away.” Every time I sleep, it’s like tipping backwards in a chair I die every time, So I guess it’s good I wanna Keep my eyes open, Keep my eyes open I wanna keep my eyes open, I guess it’s good I wanna keep my eyes open I try to keep my eyes open, every day I try to keep my eyes open I try to keep my eyes open, I guess it’s good I try to keep my eyes open

Like Me 02:41
lyrics
Got some gas in a Gatorade bottle Spray it out to refresh the grass Prop a match on a box Flick it off and watch it burn I came they didn’t ask it, just to see if they would like it I took my hands out of my pockets, and put the fire out with my jacket Words spill from my mouth I reach out to grab and eat them Now I’m a target for the squad I make plans not to sleep I came they didn’t ask it, just to see if they would like it I took my hands out of my pockets, and put the fire out with my jacket

Memories 02:30
lyrics
At the time I didn’t mind that I wouldn’t remember this Why should I care if the thoughts aren’t there? Then it was a bonus If we are our memories, then I chose to live partially Things come back periodically, but most are gone permanently I have no way to reflect on whether my choice was correct Are these thought that I avoid worse than feeling incomplete If we are our memories, then I chose to live partially Things come back periodically, but most are gone permanently We are all just memories, we are all just memories We are all just memories, who am I but my memories
5.
Hustle 02:08
lyrics
They say don’t go against the times, I have to go and get what’s mine I have to make the people see, how else will I know what I can be? You have to use your muscles, go out and hustle Your back might buckle I think instead I’ll stay in bed, my thoughts will stay inside my head To me that doesn’t sound so bad, who really wants to hear me sad You have to use your muscles, go out and hustle Your back might buckle, go out and hustle Go be in the bustle, go out and hustle Put on your muzzle, go out and hustle
6.
Coming Back 01:41
lyrics
I know it’s there, somewhere lurking But for now, the drugs are working Can’t be too careful, gotta knock on wood Cause it’s coming back, any moment it could I can hear it, it’s in the distance Far away but consistent And I know it’s coming back Have a good day, string a few together Then I might feel, like this could last forever But there’s and echo, a feeling in my throat That I’m one bad day away from a ghost I can hear it, it’s in the distance Far away but consistent And I know it’s coming back
7.
Control 02:35
lyrics
When you took me in, you missed my belt It doesn’t matter though, I can use something else I’m the only one who stops it, All you try it doesn’t do shit If I want it, I’ll construct it, I’m the only one who stops it Yeah these scissors are sharp, but they actually help Without ‘em I’ll bite my fingers bloody, why not take my belt? I’m the only one who stops it, All you try it doesn’t do shit If I want it, I’ll construct it. I’m the only one who stops it I’m the only one who stops it, All you try it doesn’t do shit If I want it, I’ll construct it, I’m the only one who stops it
8.
What I Am 02:46
lyrics
I swear I watched that movie some time last year But when I watched it then I didn’t cry a single tear If I’m not sick am I complete? Are the pills and zaps removing parts of me? In my search for a remedy, Am I creating a new version of me? All I used to want to be was left alone Now I cringe at the thought of being an office drone If I’m not sick am I complete Are the pills and zaps removing parts of me? In my search for a remedy, Am I creating a new version of me?
9.
Looking Good 02:08
lyrics
I try to please them all, then climb into the wall Not hearing what they say, can you please just look away? I’m not here, I’m not here If you look away, I’m not here What was that you said? It was in a book you read I can’t say that I’ve heard of a single thing you’ve learned I think I’m gonna leave, I need a small reprieve From the constant testament to my bullshit intellect I’m not here, I’m not here If you look away, I’m not here
10.
An Ode 02:43
lyrics
It’s like you’re pulled from a panting, but he’s not listening Something burrowed deep inside has brought a reckoning He’s made a home like a transient Next time he goes I hope it’s permanent When it’s two of us alone he can muster up Just enough to pass the time, to occupy the mind He’s made a home like a transient Next time he goes I hope it’s permanent He’s made a home like a transient Next time he goes I hope it’s permanent I know that this is just a desperate wish I’d like him to stay, if only for a day
11.
Friend 02:40
lyrics
Little brown bottle, can you help me tonight? There’s this thing I don’t wanna go, but if you’re with me I might Friend, friend, friend, you might cause the end If I’m not careful All these plans that I dream up they just drown out my thoughts But if you had it your way you’d put me in a box Friend, friend, friend, you might cause the end If I’m not careful
12.
Sea Wall 01:58
lyrics
In my dreams I feel the tides pull at my feet But the gentle breaking waves keep me asleep I’m gonna build my wall, I’m gonna build my wall I’m gonna build my wall, or it’ll kill them all I know what they think about me isn’t wrong But to save their lives I’ll take that on I’m gonna build my wall, I’m gonna build my wall I’m gonna build my wall, or it’ll kill them all
13.
Wise Mind 02:25
lyrics
Sometimes I get confused about what part is me and which is you You’re what comes up from inside, and I’m the part that can decide To see you if I’m looking But looking is a hard thing I can see two if I’m looking With my wise mind When I think the two are one, that’s when damage can be done But I can see two if I’m looking But looking is a hard thing I can see two if I’m looking, with my wise mind
