I accidentally did I accidentally do I accidentally said What's accidentally true I've woken up from the dead And now I'm up from the bed It's weird to think how close I was But now I'm up from the dead You can go and sit In that exact same seat You either feel it or you don't I let the feeling get to me Bad faith, bad form, bad vibes Bad news, bad blues, bye bye That's just my trusting nature Showing itself again You should have locked the door They wouldn't have broken in I'm just not feeling the love From your direction lately I'm just not feeling the love Just not feeling the love Just not feeling the love No one said bye No one attempted to What if you had tried? What was preventing you? Knowing you & I I'd specially sent for you Up from the dead I've woken up from the dead And now I'm up from the bed It's weird to think how close I was But now I'm up from the dead Up from the dead, up from the dead Up from the bed, up from the bed Up from the dead, up from the dead Up from the dead You can go and sit (No one attempted to) In that exact same seat (What was preventing you?) You either feel it or you don't Up from the dead I accidentally did I accidentally do I accidentally said What's accidentally true Bad faith, bad form, bad vibes Bad news, bad blues, bye bye

Hyped up on a dream Hyped up on a dream My dreams cut keys, you'll wake up with a copy My dreams cut keys, you'll wake up with a copy (Hyped up, hyped up) Please don't rob me Please don't rob me My dreams cut keys You got the drama down But you go belly up You got the drama down I still got the master key You know your time's temporary The lock could change at any time And you're stuck inside my state of mind (Hyped up, hyped up) You got the drama down Hyped up on a dream (You got the drama down) Hyped up on a dream Hyped up on a dream Dream... Hyped up, hyped up Hyped up, hyped up My dreams cut keys Don't rob me Please My dreams cut keys I'm not satisfied with a bad kiss I wanna go out with some passion Is that too much to ask for baby? (Hyped up, hyped up)

Don't Be Shy 03:47
I know it was an error but it felt like something more Like the terror when a stranger tries the wrong key to your door Don't be shy, don't avoid Don't give in when you're paranoid Don't be shy, don't delay Don't deny and pull away Just cause you're tongue tied I guess that you don't miss me You don't wish we had tried You tricked me with a mystery Now I'm trapped inside Another time Another reason Another repeat of a line I used to believe in Another time Why wait? Just ask me what you wanna ask me Why wait? Just ask me what you wanna ask me Don't be shy, don't avoid Don't give in when you're paranoid (Tongue tied) Don't be shy, don't delay Don't deny and pull away Just cause you're tongue tied Just cause you're tongue tied Just cause you're tongue tied Just cause you're tongue tied

Selfish Loop 03:17
I wait for someone, anyone who's not me To stand up ad plead guilty That's the only hope I got at this point in time That's my story and it's sticking to me The truth is up for you to decide Assumptions must be made Old egotistical you Stuck in a selfish loop Stuck in a selfish loop Stuck in a selfish loop In my head it really seemed like it must've been a sign from you With nothing helpful about the truth but the thought 'so what if I do?' Even if all you say is true It'll be yours, not mine to prove The shame's on you The blame's on me We're a happy family Now any little thing I do Could push it over the edge for you Any little thing I say Is used against me anyway Used against me anyway Now that it's become another Us V You Stuck in a selfish loop Stuck in a selfish loop Stuck in a selfish Stuck in a selfish Stuck in a selfish loop

Hey, I was looking for you I’m gonna take a chance So think about your answer Before the question fades With every reason in the world To take an interest in A word I say… I had a crush on 2 You & only you But when I asked today If you felt the same All you would say You had a crush on everyone You had a crush on everyone But then you laughed and bit your tongue When you heard that I had one Love me, love this man Can’t you see how desperate for your love I am? Love me, love this man Can’t you see how desperate for your love I am? I’m not gonna be too heartbroken I’m not gonna be too heartbroken I’m not gonna be too heartbroken I’m not gonna be too heartbroken You had a crush on everyone You had a crush on everyone But then you laughed and bit your tongue When you heard that I had one You had a crush on everyone You had a crush on everyone But then you laughed and bit your tongue When you heard that I had one

Not Today 03:40
Let's push em down Bad thoughts away Filling my mind Not today I could be down with some rain I could be down with some rain I could be down with some rain What's up? How you feeling? Is there something I can do For you this evening? It was supposed to rain but they called it off Would've been great cause it's been so hot So many days in a row non-stop You don't get me Never did Join the club Of Idiots But if I get mistaken Again and again That must say more about me and less about them The thought won't go away My life's a throwaway Cause destiny messed with me Destiny messed with me There was forgiveness in me But I could not give it up Demonize me if you have to I don't care I'm so far past you (Not today) Let's push em down Bad thoughts away Filling my mind I'm so far past you Let's push em down Bad thoughts away Filling my mind Not today (So far past you.. not today) I could be down with some rain I could be down with some rain I could be down

It's like you can't see me for me It's unimportant in your search for a boyfriend It's like you can't see me for me It's unimportant in your search for a boyfriend Let me spell it out and it'll all make sense Why all my friends are in the past tense Let me spell it out and it'll all make sense Why all my friends are in the past tense Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up It's been a long time knowing that you're wrong for me But I've been waiting like 'maybe I was wrong, lets see' But I'm sorry it's true, I don't see it like you Never saw it that way, but for argument's sake Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up Let me spell it out and it'll all make sense Why all my friends are in the past tense Let me spell it out and it'll all make sense Why all my friends are in the past tense It's like you can't see me for me It's unimportant in your search for a boyfriend It's like you can't see me for me It's unimportant in your search for a boyfriend Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up Who do you remind me of? I can't remember why we broke up

Hard 2 Read 01:49
You can't tell with him Can you tell with me? I think you need to listen You say I'm hard to read It's never a sure thing Always in question You keep me guessing Don't pat yourself On the back just yet Let patience rule the day I give myself away But you can't tell with me Can you tell with me? I think you need to listen You say I'm hard to read But you can't tell... (Hard to read) You can't tell with him Can you tell with me? I think you need to listen You say I'm hard to read

I tried and failed, that's why I bailed Now I'm out for blood It doesn't help me in the slightest It doesn't help me in the slightest It doesn't help me in that it could come back and bite it Now that the band aid's on tight How you gonna call it a love bite? It's just the seed of the memory your ghost has grown into Spending all the patience we accrued In the taming of the shrew I tried and failed, that's why I bailed Now I'm out for blood That's something I hate you for More and more and more and more That's something I hate you for More and more and more and more That's something I hate you for More and more and more and more That's something I hate you for More and more and more and more and more and More and more and more and more

I can't imagine being who I was 15 minutes ago I can't imagine seeing you because I'm not the guy you know If you know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? If you know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? Now we'll never know Doesn't bother me though Doesn't bother me though Don't take it as a signal Don't take it as a sign Just let it represent itself or remain undefined I'm not trying to burn the bridge Just fire-testing it In case you still hold onto A past when i had wronged you I can't imagine being who I was 15 minutes ago I can't imagine seeing you because I'm not the guy you know Don't joke around with me Cause I won't take it that way I'm gonna be pre-emptively defensive, ok? If you know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? (Cause I'm not the guy you know) If you know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? I can't I can't I can't imagine You know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? (Cause I'm not the guy you know) If you know I'm kidding why can't you take it as a joke? Take it as a joke Take it as a joke

People might take a smile in the night all wrong You know people might take a smile in the night all wrong when really I wouldn’t hurt a fly I’ll trade you a smile for a gesture for a message for your messenger about how the looks are worse at night You know, people might take a smile in the night all wrong People might take a smile in the night all wrong when really I wouldn’t hurt a fly no really I would never hurt a fly

My mind went numb You leave it in a puddle Mind went numb yeah You leave it a (!) Pissin, pissin On my star (!) Pissin, pissin On my star Always in a 'no' state Never in a flow state Often in a state of fear Hot girl in the room is looking at me weird Maybe it's instinctual Learned behaviour from a past life Or maybe it's a load of bull And I'm reaching like an asswipe Karma made a fool of us Shaking off the memory dust Karma made a fool of us Shaking off the memory dust I got the right time but I was in the wrong place Now it's a straight line leading astray I got the right time but I was in the wrong place Pissin, pissin On my star We're just pissin, pissin on my star Pissin' on my star

WTF 02:07
What the fuck What's holding you up? What the fuck What’s holding you up? You got what you needed, continue along They’ll be looking for you soon if you aren’t already Gone gone gone With all the history and quality time Now you’re gonna hang me out to dry Twice … why? What the fuck Is holding you up? What the fuck What’s holding you up? With all the history and quality time Now you’re gonna hang me out to dry Twice … why? What the fuck

I appreciate it I appreciate you I hope you appreciate this It was the least I could do I appreciate it I appreciate you I hope you appreciate this It was the least I could do I need a pen Fly in my hand I'm cursed to scrawl At your command I wrote the song Cause that's how I felt And now I feel better about myself I appreciate it I appreciate you I hope you appreciate this It was the least I could do
