Rooftop 03:20
Say what you want of me about my tendencies and how I don't live inside your reality you don't realize how hard you’re grasping something until you let it go and see the mark you left I'm choking like I need a lesson in breathing and where the rope ends you'll find me trapped and panicking (So I'll say) why do you talk way up on your roof top where I can't hear my name what is something that you won't say baby I owe it to guys like Dan to get up and actually try instead of waste away the days wishing my passion would die this wave never rode so smooth when I had nothing to lose I'm a third string starter just here to do my job and no amount of doubters could ever write these songs do you know what it's like watching everything just pass you by in your pathetic life

Fair Weather 03:41
Does it make you uncomfortable that I never gave up on myself did you find it easy to settle inside that broken house in your lonely town just like everyone else you're getting used to the fact that your life is on the shelf I've heard ignorance is bliss and though it's true I'm glad I am aware of the things that you were blind to, you're blind to I always wanted your attention but now I know that you're the problem fair weather friends love to make their rounds but when I talked about my dreams they were nowhere to be found nice to know who you really are kept my ear to the ground, now I'm calling you out I've heard ignorance is bliss and though it's true I'm glad I am aware of the things that you were blind to, you're blind to so don't say you believed in me when I know you wanted me to fail keep rooting against me and I'll keep doing things you never will Act like you never knew me cause I'm forgetting your name I'm making something of myself and I know that drives you insane I never thought I'd have the nerve to say this but look at me now thanks for letting me down I slaved for what I wanted while you brushed me off now that I've sweat it out and earned my place you claim you always had my back hiding your second face am I convenient for you now that I stand out in your crowd I never changed through all your treason so don't say you miss me cause you don't have a reason

Short Leash 03:11
If the past two months have taught me anything it's to never wait for good luck though I've rolled with the punches resilience is nothing when up against failures from my mistakes I don't wanna feel responsible in a world that wasn't made for me at all, at all Security makes me restless being away makes miss what's at home should I feel guilty for being this selfish when I know you have less time to loan (I'm gone) now I can see through clearing sky's (right through this, right through this) but I'm not there yet This twelve hour drive still isn't far enough to put behind everything I thought I knew when I thought I could make you proud of me too I was so naive never listened to what was true maybe someday I'll grow up, I just don't want to You'd think something's out to get me (get me) cause I can't get through one week used to think I could do anything (anything) now I can't get on my feet I didn't know (I didn't know) it was so cut throat (cut throat) I didn't know I’d go this crazy on my own I didn't know

I'm not proud of what I am, I'm proud of what I can be do you respect yourself thriving off those you call lucky I should’ve went home when I could I let you get close, never thought you would I swear I'll understand this, what's out of reach constantly forgetting what you made up all along I'm not proud of what I am, I'm proud of what I can be do you respect yourself thriving off those you call lucky designed to drain us and keep us in line your routine is evidence of your failures in life Just another lost boy in your head so go on and make your bed there's no one you wouldn't lie to, you'd love to drown in the next drink he buys you I promise he's not listening though you claim that your honest intentions are making this right of course he agrees so you'll swallow the lies Don't ever tell me I got stuck on this just because I didn't smile doesn't mean I'm upset I'm over the bridge, just not eager to feel it You think you're entitled to your brand new mistakes and your latest excuse you're invincible for now I'm counting on the day that you're all burnt out you're ugly when you're proud but I know there'll be a day where you tell someone you hate me

Canary 03:48
Inside that cage not satisfied with the view through the bars that is blocking the earth my movement is desperate and that makes it worse I don't wanna be here I just wanna be anywhere If you think that it's alright and there's nothing more I'll keep you locked up in a room slip you pictures of the sky beneath your door don't get me wrong I'm over it don't get me wrong I'm all for it The beast inside (I have no doubts) the bird would fly (if you let it out) timing is nothing with no time to spare, when forcing fake smiles in poisonous air I'm seeing shadows of my self running around inside a cell looks like it's begging me for help with no patience, on my own script stuck hesitating cause I couldn't take a hint imaginations well designed such a shame it didn't meet the Deadline

Peasants 03:12
Failure to me is 40 hours a week supporting the people I won't get to see escaping through movies and books without a thought to notice why the things that entice us are always bigger than our lives this makes us happy, so why do we stay a slave to common grind we clearly create peace, but only let it exist in our minds It's faithless, ill, and contagious the monster clawing at the thread the cards stacked enough said I'll have to make you trust me but I'm stuck I'm upset anyway and outta luck just can’t adjust even if my way is a swift disaster You work so hard for the weekend the lost sleep turns into thinking this can only be temporary all the weights too much to carry I'm an untamed animal and I'm lawless your social pyramid is not my compass
