Suicide Eyes 04:00
Well I used to sit and watch you cry Wishing you’d just die In my twisted fantasy Now I’m laying here and faking dead Because it messes with your head And I’ve got no place to be I’ll be gone by the time you realize Just how far you can fall Letting go is the hardest part of all CHORUS: Please don’t mind my insecurities It took all that you had to find the worst in me There ain’t no time between sixteen and twenty-three And when you think of me think how it used to be Don’t raise your voice in ecstasy I love it when you scream But you really, really need to breathe Keep doing that and we’ll be alright At least for one more night I guess that’s all we need CHORUS BRIDGE: She used to be pretty back in high school Suicide eyes and hair down to her knees Sure wish I’d had her back in high school But she had gone too far and I was too far gone to see CHORUS

Brain Dead 03:32
Honey I can see you're hurting but don't you know it's common courtesy Not to bleed on the bed Wild cards and wasted time I know you think I'm out of line But you don't want to live inside my head CHORUS: Con't keep trying to save me I'm happier crazy than clean Please don't cry it's embarrassing Girl I'm not brain dead yet You ain't even seen me tripping Look before you jump my darling for every time I said I'm sorry For every wasted tear I kissed away I know it's hard to understand and I wish I was a better man But since I'm not I guess I'll just keep misbehaving CHORUS Live out my final days in a paradise of my own making I hope I'm worth your aching heart And there's no way that I could ever call you love But I'll let you hold my hand while I bleed out CHORUS

Hold me down and mess me up I'll be chasing heaven 'til the sun comes up Working like a dog just to keep my sanity Oh the inhumanity is never enough Yes I did my time got myself an education But blind capitulation well it ain't my scene delusional authority millennial minority We're shackled to the system in the land of the free I wanna see all you angels From sea to shining sea CHORUS: We're all red white and screwed tonight We're saddled up and chasing the American dream And we're all made in the USA Another rebel generation on a murder spree I had a friend who was a high school freak He never had a chance never turned sixteen He overdosed on the bathroom floor I guess he never really knew what we were fighting for Gunshot wounds and heart attacks You'd better hit the ground running 'cuz you can't go back Everybody dragged through the killing machine Won't you try a little fire on your gasoline I wanna see all you angels From sea to shining sea CHORUS And I thank my lucky scars to be alive at all today And I'm a straight white down to fight standing in the limelight Born in the USA yeah CHORUS

Back Already 03:13
This is the hardest part of living You were the heart inside my chest And I would die ten-thousand times if I could have you again But I can’t bleed you home CHORUS: Come back already Come back already You can double down and watch me bleed But you can’t break me no you can’t break me And I’m a sucker for all the wrong things But you can’t blame me no you can’t blame me I tried to bury this the hard way And I pray to God you never know And all the awful things I’ve done can’t take my heart away And I can’t bleed you home Come back already Come back already Come back already Come back already You can double down and watch me bleed But you can’t break me no you can’t break me And I’m a sucker for all the wrong things But you can’t blame me no you can’t blame me Living on a line as the years go by And your long-gone pride is the reason why Would it be better if you’d never let go Well you’re never gonna know unless you come home Well you can blame it on the ghost inside of me I could never be the man I used to be Screaming louder than before from the sanctuary floor How I miss you and I miss you I still miss you

I am a skeleton I’m waiting for the day I get my body back With all the other things they took away I can’t forget you ‘cuz you’re gone or right you ‘cuz you’re wrong And waiting here for you will be the death of us all Our childhoods went off and left us to die I beg your pardon baby-girl go find another guy to keep you warm tonight It just ain’t right To be the devil in the dark and be so perfect in the light But we’re millennials babe We run around pretending like we’re not insane But underneath the skin you know we’re all the same We're brainwashed and drugged up And nobody cares what we say CHORUS: My generation scourge of the nation Lift up your voices and open your eyes They hate our guts but that’s just as well We’ll just keep on giving them hell Giving them hell Because we’ve got nothing better to do Put it in your mouth swallow it down Everybody’s doing it especially now Because the pharmacist said take two before bed And then they wonder why we’re all walking around like we’re dead We’re selfish and shallow and so insecure Everybody on the Interned trying to score Another girlfriend another boyfriend Another see you later baby I don’t care anymore CHORUS Don’t look too hard into my heart This life will just tear you apart CHORUS

December 03:55
Wrap it up or you're gonna get burned It's never been a problem but it is your turn To be the grownup here Let's be clear on this You're staring out of the bathroom window Trying to find a different point of view On all the terrible things that they put you through You were so frustrated And a little bit overrated I know one day you'll see It didn't need to be this hard Bless your heart CHORUS: December I can still remember The way you used to hold me close And heaven knows I'm living with your ghost I can't pretend like Everything is alright all the time 'Cuz even though I know it's over now I still get a little down Each time December comes around Take a chance on the brand new you It'll never be the same without me but what'll you do You keep on struggling through You're better off with a better man I've been saying it for years but you never made a stand Until tonight but that's alright my love You were so frustrated And a little bit overrated I know one day you'll see It didn't need to be this hard Bless your heart CHORUS

If only there was a way To conjure redemption and weaponize pain It could save me and we'd have a prayer But I walk down the streets and there's nobody there 'Cuz it's three in the morning on Tuesday And it's hard to say just when this became such an affair And it rips me apart just to care And everything melts away Like the paper that's under your tongue and the words that I say When you're sleeping But everyone knows you're so far away So far it's been over a year Since you saved me And I drank my reward as she begged me for more so demanding We were never clean We were young and obscene when we buried our dreams with the hatchet So long ago So give it to me slow CHORUS: As you throw back another and cry And you whisper we've all gotta die Won't you put on your best dress and bury my ashes tonight You'll survive Oh my darling when you bleed Do you call for your doctor or roll up your sleeves and cut deeper Straight to the heart of things It's unsettling when you finally see what you've done Do you know what to do with that gun There's some things that can't be undone After all we're the cast-outs Would I lie to you Would you murder me just to go numb for forever I never believed we could fall this far CHORUS Who needs pride when you've got influence Who needs innocence when you've got guts And I take it you're still loaded up on the lies that they fed to you And I know why you did God forbid that somebody comes blazing on in when you can't disappear Let me be perfectly clear 'cuz I've seen what awaits And I don't want to face it alone But I will and I won't cast a stone CHORUS And we're all drowning now And we're all falling down And if ever you can't take the pain I'll fight the world with you until my dying day It's a long way down And if ever you think you should stay I'll fight the world with you until my dying daty It's a long way down
