Fix This 04:08
All i'm asking is for you to explain The wheels are falling off, unsteady on my way I couldn't fix this so I ran away I couldn't fix this so I tried anyway All the questions are driving me insane The wheels are falling off, unsteady on my way I couldn't fix this so I ran away I couldn't fix this so I tried anyway

No Reaction 03:01
Every action, there's no reaction I can't see, I can't breathe I can't sleep and I can't dream I need help, I'm on my knees Every action.... That little girl that drew all day That little dream that flew away That little hope she threw away I hope she gets it back someday Every action, there's no reaction I can't see, I can't breathe I can't move, I just freeze I need help so help me please Every action.... That little girl that drew all day That little dream that flew away That little hope she threw away I hope she gets it back someday Don't let them tell you how to lose your mind

Red Stripe 02:06
Jump through a hoop, caught in a loop, debt by design My escape plan, access the code, breakout on time Jump through a hoop, caught in a loop, debt by design My escape plan, access the code, behind the red stripe We ask, we get, we sign, we spend our lives in debt with no regrets

See Saw 02:39
See-saw, rock back and forth Gotta get myself up off the floor Some days i'm rich and some days i'm poor See-saw, Margery Daw Up off the floor... Rock back and forth...

Sleep 02:58
I used to pay money for things to keep me awake But now i'd sell the farm for a full night's sleep Sleep.... I paid for a treadmill I can't afford to get off Some are at home on the road, i'm stuck in the same place lost Lost... All I hear is my pulse, just me and no-one else Stuck at a cliched crossroads, my mark i'll make this I know

Distant 03:27
I don't know what to say, you're telling me it's all the rage It feels distant, it feels strange Go the distance to ease the pain Running free down the halls, treat me kind my baby doll It feels distant, it feels strange Go the distance to ease the pain You asked if I had plans, you asked if I had dreams You whispered to me once but now it's just a scream
7.
Wasting time for half my life Fall in line like soldiers in kind The more I try I fall behind Peace of mind I seek to find People say no regrets I'm in play, a fucking train wreck The more I try I fall behind Peace of mind I seek to find
8.
What do you care of my mode of operation? We all end the same If only you took some time to understand me Your judgement might become envy Everybody knows everything and thanks to that we're free Why do you share the smallest of frustrations? The mountain or the plain If only you took some time to understand me Your judgement might become envy Everybody knows everything and thanks to that we're free
9.
Burn It Down 02:44
Are you waiting for the phone to ring? Are you waiting here at all? Are you waiting for the biggest thing? You'll be waiting for a fall Because all I have and what I give Amounts to nothing more Because all I have and what I give I'll be answering your call We'll burn it down tonight We'll burn it at first light All of these things i've got I don't want to take for granted So while I might seem less interesting Don't believe what you've been told Because all I have and what I give I'll even up the score We'll burn it down tonight We'll burn it at first light All of these things i've got I don't want to take for granted

Pens 01:51
Every time you come to me you steal my pens, they're not for free Every time you come to me...FUCK! Go away please go away Why am I talking about stationery? Please understand it's an analogy Every time you come to me...FUCK! Go away please go away Every time you come to me you suck the life right out of thee Every time you come to me...FUCK! Go away please go away Every time you come to me you steal my pens, they're not for free Every time you come to me...FUCK! Go away please go away Go away please now, please go away, go away please now FUCK!!
