Horcrux 02:43
killin' all my friends i'm still surprised digging at the corners of my eyes every single night i'm havin' fun fighting apparitions in my room it's followed me all this way continuing though my debt is paid planning on the days that make it through taking isn't great for me or you maybe all the hauntings will subside i can see you outside my window at night take your time i'm waiting for the naked hour way to live you're really makin' something now everything's alright it's the ending of a shorter story line than you wanted from the perfect ending i was planning on it won't resolve move on move on move on

WOWWW 02:48
tell me what you're all about it's not much just sewing and such i'm a little terrified it's hell could you please not yell how do you feel when you're alone you get stoned or shout through your megaphone i'm a little o-c-d i like tea yeah listen to me i'm a rebel and a thief a bad seed yeah i'm failing constantly why why do i try it's pointless til i die just grind til i'm dust then maybe you can trust me

diy til i die it's taken all my time and he said "but it's fine" i need a cigarette and some goddamn rest oh woah look at you you're above all the rest you all think you're cool with your bands and your songs and i know how it works and i'm playing along oh look at what it's done to me look at what i've done to me look at all the things i've made is it even worth anything diy til i die it's worth it every time but i gotta ask why i ended up like this, couldn't i be rich a mogul in the valley sellin' apps to the kids but that's not the life for me i need this stupid art to live i would find it hard to breathe the only effort i can give
4.
my life's in trouble trouble how good now can it be when you are working doubles tired of everything i'm in the dictionary right next to naive cause i keep thinking i'll get paid to sing like this on again off again how can we pretend that we'll ever change we'll never change be my friend i'll extend every invitation you'll ever need you'll never need me i think it's kinda funny i want that money money but i can't be bothered anymore for anything slow down your speakin' talkin' show boat let's keep on rockin' ok we really have a choice to make right here on again off again how can we pretend that we'll ever change we'll never change be my friend i'll extend every invitation you'll ever need you'll never need me

they wanna go out and say lots of things flappin' their beaks and movin' their wings and i don't even know what words i could use to break away and maybe someday i could go sailing every night every night we could go sailing it'd be nice it'd be nice woah (oh) oh girl na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na people only saying what they wanna hear doing everything and avoiding the fear you maybe gotta open up sometimes and break away so maybe someday i wanna go sailing every night every night we could go sailing it'd be nice it'd be nice woah (oh) oh girl na na na welcome to the world i could go sailing every night every night we could go sailing it'd be nice it'd be nice woah (oh) oh girl na na na welcome to the world

The Show 03:48
go to the safe place tired and faceless word of the mouth spread jam on the beat and take take take take taken taken taken taken go go go go going going going going off i was drawn in to the world that i'd found just another darkened face in the crowd i was swallowed by the size of the sound sat there so still inset so far smoke on the back deck it's all a wreck but you're more than i am worthless but worth so much take take take taken taken taken taken go go go go going going going going off i was drawn in to the world that i'd found just another darkened face in the crowd i was swallowed by the size of the sound sat there so still inset so far i was drawn in to the world that i'd found just another darkened face in the crowd i was swallowed by the size of the sound sat there so still inset so far

don't you three remember me it's been a year or ten i know we used to fight i don't remember what was said what comes to mind is sunshine like the stage lights on our heads screaming in a basement just the way we were back then trying hard to make each other laugh with stupid bits most of all our fans were just our friends and we love them i know i'm being overly nostalgic but it's sad there's nothing left to say grandfather is dead grandfather is dead grandfather is dead we gave it our best we love all our friends grandfather is dead grandfather is dead thank you and we love you all and grandfather is dead
