I don't mind taking time to see you, just know it won't be for long. I hope that when I wake tomorrow, back to sleep and nothing is wrong. Some girls should've died in high school. Some girls should never have been born. One by one count the clouds. One by one we take the cars away. All that I have given through the years were some sad songs and bad friends.
2.
I cried and it shows, shimmers in the light of day but at night I hold dimmer friends in lies. I tried to make everything okay again but sometimes I take you for granted. So I'll retrace the lines in my face and take for granted all my breathing space. Signs that I may misread take me safely home. Count on my misdeeds until I lose control. Count on me until I lose control.

Bedhead 03:26
I wanted to see something beautiful before I died so I went to a fireworks display and let me tell you, it was so bland. They didn't even synchronize the music at all. I wanted to see something terrible before I died so I went to your house for our weekly meetings. Fuck up my schedule why don't you? Fuck up my life! I wanted a bunch of tragic shit to happen to me, the types of things you don't have to ask for but I prayed to whatever watches me to make me suffer, to make me cry. But now that I'm so close to the end of my life it's getting harder to enjoy anything at all. But my friends will move away and make me feel like I moved away and my son will write songs and I'll just disappear.

KSA 03:21
I don't know what to wait for, I want your life. I don't know what I'm made for, I guess it's time to just pick a fucking job and get good at it. Then that'll be what I do I guess. It's what I do now I guess and what I do is a fucking mess but I'm stuck now in a slow death. I don't know what to wait for, I want your life. I don't know what I'm paid for I guess I'm just sewing time together trying to make things work out. But it's so damn confusing when you only really complicate things. As if my life was fine before this and it's all just one huge mess but I guess it's my slow death. Yeah, I guess it's mine.

Fade 03:25
Just a touch of real life to make this feel better like it matters. In a cage, an occasion, an occasional lie. And you call back again to see me fade. I'm so blind but I have faith that no one can see me or hear me. Just a touch of real life to make this feel better like it matters at all. In a cage, an occasion, an occasional lie. And you call back again to see me fade. I'm so blind but I have faith that no one can see me or hear me again. I'm so blind but I have faith that no one can see me or hear me.

Sad Eyes 03:16
There's a box upstairs in a bag of green velvet which contains the remains of my dad. Someday I'll figure out what to do with them but until then it stays near my bed. And you said “I've got such sad eyes, I'm never waking up, I thought you could tell but I guess its a surprise.”
7.
I just want to say how I feel, I think we could be something real. And you, when you look at me, I lose control of my feet. I'm bashful and lame, I spiral and sway. I just want to hear you sing. All songs by The Chain Letter
