Track Name: I'm From the Midwest. I'm Softspoken.
Stop it all
Get carried away
Watch their hopes
Get washed down the drain
Minutes go by
Onlookers don't flinch
The knife cuts so deep
The air is so thick

Can't count on you
To be there for me
These days are changing
But you stay the same
You don't think about
The ones around you
Soon they won’t care about you

So what’s it to you
Your pride it falls like rain
The lives we tried to touch
You say it was all in vain
I want to tell you how
You meant the world to me
But we can’t go on like this
It’s not the way I choose to be

They’d been forever waiting
For the day when they could say that
This was the one thing that they needed less
And I only counted one last hour
But I know she had no power
It was lost, had it taken
Saw you running from the scene
Left your footprints on the ground
But didn’t make a sound

But you’re still here

And I still see you in the past
But I think I’m gonna have to let this go
Because I know deep down inside
I lost it, I lost it, I lost it
Track Name: Thank You Much
With every action that you make
Every position is always changing,
Always changing like the
The seasons of other towns
Nothing remains the same for too long
Until we free ourselves

Until we free ourselves

We all strive to do what it takes
To find our own place, to find our own time
Blasting away the past with every single dream
And believing in nothing
Brings the same out of every one of us until
Until we find ourselves

Until we find ourselves

We should always break the rules
Bending upwards and wasting time
While perfecting the pastimes that we’ve always had
I’m chillin with my homies and I’m never going back

We break the rules
Take nothing back and take a drink for glory
Glory

Time for the end
Hold nothing back and take a breath its over
Over

Wasted
Dreams are bubbling to the top
And everything I built burned yesterday
Why do I hate this place and
There is nothing more I can do or say to change

Expectations of myself
Have gone awry and I don’t know
Track Name: Time Flies
I feel I’m falling down
Won’t ever get back up again
We know we’re dying
But we’re fighting hard just to live

I know I’m going through some things right now
Think things are never gonna turn around
Its fate laughing at me
I’m smiling back, you see

Cause I don’t need no one to hold me down
I’ve got all I need right here
Its you, its me, its everything you see
It’s all that we can say: all we need is right now

What did you say about those days?
I thought we would live forever
What can you say about those games?
Can we try to stay together?

What did it mean to you?
What did it mean to me?
Can’t see the pressure it would take
Can’t see the lies that you’d believe
But that was all back then
Can we just try to pretend?

Don't wanna go
I wanna stay right here, yeah
Track Name: Don't Sweat It
Live for today
No will for tomorrow
Hold onto the friends that you have
Digression from hope
The sun casts its shadow
Darkness promptly shows us
Again, again, again

Live for today and lets find the reasons to
Take it all back
Try to love the people that love you
And to hate this world around you
No remorse and no regrets

Living life can be hopeless
We can make with our friends
When you crack under pressure
Don’t sweat it
Track Name: Too Many Shoes, Not Enough Feet
I’m all packed up and ready to go
But I still need you here to show me the road
Its funny how people say they’re so old
And all the things that should last forever but don’t

I know we all said it I hope we all get it
I still feel lost sometimes I still get high at night
But I still remember where your parents' house is
I’m just a little bit older, still have good intentions

So count on your good friends
You made that promise
I’m sure we all did
When we were all kids

I’m getting goosebumps, our house was so cold
Remember how we cut our feelings
On the tables, bottles, basements
It’s amazing I still stay up late complaining
I still stay up contemplating

It’s still dark as hell here
In the middle of the night
Its like I’m walking down high street
Its like you’re right by my side
The only songs we’ll sing, we’ll sing together
The only soul ill trade is mine forever

Counting the ways to
Somehow repay you
I've gotta pay my dues
I gotta try and thank you
Cause we were just kids
Early teens, maybe mid
I’m done debating
I’m on my way in
Track Name: Gimme Your Wallet
Alright, goodbye
This town is killing
Its over, it’s over
Life’s frustrations on my back
I don’t need it anymore
And its over, its over

Well its not fair
Reality
Thrown out my window
Well its not right
What it used to be
Despite morality

Alright, changes have been made
And its not that fun
And its over, its over
Life’s displacement on my back
I don’t see it anymore
And its over, its over

We can find a home
Home is beautiful, home is everything

Home is nothing more than a joke
And I can’t wait
For this day to come
When we all die young
And every day
I wish I were living back in 1998
When life was beautiful
And no, no I will not
Sit back and watch my self die old
With an absent god
Hell no
Track Name: Considerate
It's not what you said
It's how you said it
Like you don't regret it
And you'll forget me
And everybody else
It's not what you did
It's how you do it
Like there’s nothing to it
And what you're proving to me
Is that you only care about yourself

And I'm sorry
The truth must hurt sometimes
And I'm sorry
After the damage you've done
Do you really expect me to stay?

I should have been more considerate
And thought about the words I spoke
You tell me that you're sick of it
Well, it was supposed to be a joke
Why can't I act more seriously?
I’m just going to throw it all away
And I think that you should leave,
Would be the last words I heard her say.

Well, at least for the night

This situation’s quite delicate
But I once thought that I believed
That we had something here
That was worth the deceit

So get out
Get the fuck out of here
Move your shit out
Am I making myself clear?

And it’s pathetic to think
That you could give a shit about anyone else
That you could ever care about anyone else
Track Name: Infuriated
A heat attack clogs the streets of the people
Disorder
Reprimand the body and soul of your leader
Destroy him
Haste the day when knowing its finally over

Infuriated
Peaceful protests have lost their perks
March, run, storm upon these bastards
Broken votes have finally found their way
Through absurdity
The people of Egypt have created unity

Vengeance
For the tyranny and anguish thats been suffered
Bout time
That the fury of the masses has been realized
Track Name: Split Seconds
Do you remember the rain falling on the porch?
Remember we were soaked
We walked down to the store

They wouldn’t let us in
Cause we were covered in mud
I laughed at you when you punched the window
You dripped some blood

Our neighbors are old now
I used to have to look for shade
When the trees were falling from the ground
Can you believe how much this place has changed?

A storm last night knocked down my mom’s fence
It’s been there twenty years
Since I left her car with dents
I put them in with a baseball bat
She threw me out, all I did was laugh

You know these moments come and go
Only here for split seconds
You know I used to call this home
Under the door I left you a message

Its a recollection, its perception
Still counting down the days
I fell down the stairs
I got up, you punched me in the face
That door was red then
The new neighbors, they painted it brown
I liked it more then
I liked the way you kicked it down

I wanna tell you guys what you all meant to me
I wanna open the door and walk right in
I wanna tell them how it seems like it was all a dream
That door is red again and the kids are frightened
Track Name: Pentagrams in the Attic
Just another friday morning and I can hardly wait
The change in seasons, we’ll find the reasons
To shape our world today
Shaming our innocence with another heartfelt night
The booze is calling and were all going to
High street tonight

So grab a bottle, hit the floor
This is everything and more
Everything, anything we wanted
Something to die for

Just another late night session
In the middle of the kitchen
Where did fun go, what the hell do I know, theres a
Basement show tonight

Halloween is here and I can hardly die

Its so hard to make sense
Were never going back
I don’t see anyone that can tell me what is real
