Know Better 02:03
No longer looking for reasons to get off my bedroom floor; now lying in my bed force feeding thoughts inside my head Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one, or take your pick; take time to know one Now sleeping in the streets to silence my own scrutiny Though now my thoughts won't roam, I need to find my way back home Go home

Undergo 01:14
Go all the way Live for today It'll all be okay When you figure it out later you'll know that everything's okay Decide right away Your thought's a delay That's what they say Despite everything gone wrong that's always what they say There's no retry It's not unheard of to decline Freedom is nothing to abide by Why not take the time? Beware if you may live for today what costs could be paid There's no retry Next time you can stay Let them be okay when things go astray There's no retry

Busted 01:31
Still picking myself up Acknowledging the scrapes Still waiting for the shock to end as all this blood escapes Still want to let in settle in Still want to be awake Still want to wash of my dead skin as all this paint awaits Not sure of what to do or sure of what to say to all the people wondering asking me if I'm okay I don't know what exactly to expect Still feeding into my bogus sense of self respect Still unable to prepare myself for this injury's affect I've started healing now as far as I can know and that is what I say in hopes that they won't go though now I feel the hurt and my act begins to show -my act begins to show Busted I'm busted

Spoken For 01:33
I force my needs to apologize Fabrication spills as my tongue unties Please assume things no one knows if what is heard excels what's disclosed Projections I've condoned Say what makes it easy Tell me who I should be to hide what's best unknown Distinction's abnormality just the way it should be so hide what's best unknown Curse me and all my affirmation It's fair to be reserved I'm good enough for you, I guess I'm good enough for me Assume who I am and never who I may be We're guilty allies and sifting through lies I'm good enough for you, I guess I'm good enough for me Assume who I am and never who I may be Quick fixes fix things so quickly Stay the same and remain sickly

So sick of celebrity and looking for some pity No need for opportunity and when there is, we're kidding Complaisant amputees struggling to agree you're the same as me: scraping by Fake attempts at quitting Inadequacy's fitting No need for opportunity and when there is, we're kidding I refuse to -refuse to justify I enthuse to -enthuse to infamize Complaisant amputees struggling to agree you're the same as me: scraping by Proof is crucial to prove something Truth is tough to defeat bluffing So unsure what exceeds nothing Please exceed to exceed nothing Merely content, nothing to do No need for closure or review Try to wish how it should be miles from successfully All these loose ends won't tie up Excess numbers don't add up Say you care and just shut up Don't try and fill this half full cup Think you're over it? You're over it? You're over it? Say you're over it please, successfully Exceeding nothing's clearly executed so sincerely Please, successfully Exceed successfully Merely content, nothing to do No need for closure or review
