Fire Escape 04:07
Skin on a white mattress, a cigarette-scented dress I’ve got words to say but not a single one does me any good A tree like a broken arm, apologies lose their charm Either way you plant it once and don’t come back until it’s grown (you feel yourself/slipping away concrete waves/the sound decays the lie you tell/ yourself is true in my dreams/ I’m chasing you) Who in the hell do you think that you’re losing, been here all night and you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight If you want someone better I know it’s confusing, lost and misguided you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight A match in a pitch-black room, the call that you’re leaving soon Rewrite history and burn the tapes so we won’t know what went wrong Rainwater painted drapes, one hand on a fire escape Where the whole world’s screaming jump but tonight you keep on holding tight (you feel yourself/slipping away concrete waves/the sound decays the lie you tell/ yourself is true in my dreams/ I’m chasing you) Who in the hell do you think that you’re losing, been here all night and you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight If you want someone better I know it’s confusing, lost and misguided you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight (The whole world’s screaming jump but tonight you keep on holding tight/ this isn’t real, why won’t you wake me, if you’re leaving won’t you take me home?)

Downfall 04:36
When patterns burst around my neck It won’t be hard to say All the time we wasted Was it better off this way? A hand held pressed against my chest The mark she left has since gone cold All the times we spent watching The scenes just grew old How does it feel to treat a wound that’ll never heal? You call this a downfall but I don’t And I can’t and I won’t No invitations needed here We’ll show up unannounced All the light that I stole We’ve been tricked into thinking we dug ourselves a deeper hole But I don’t know how does it feel to live a life that isn’t real? You call this a downfall but I don’t And I can’t and I won’t Can’t we always realize That our love is non-existant You call this a downfall but I don’t And I can’t and I won’t

Polarize 04:25
You couldn’t handle all the innocence But I could never tell the difference Let’s just blow this off and forget every word I said I can’t see where this is going but you can call it a bloodletting A sacrifice, a trial by fire Burning faster than a cheap book of a matches That we’ve seen before So go ahead, write it off as a tragedy Your hazel eyes make it hard to see Polarize what hurts inside don’t let me change your mind I can’t see where this is going but you can call it a bloodletting A sacrifice, a trial by fire Burning faster than a cheap book of a matches I can’t see where this is going but you can call it a bloodletting A sacrifice, a trial by fire Burning faster than a cheap book of a matches ‘Cause I’m not the one you tell your secrets and I’m not the one you’re keeping here And I’m not the one you cry in your hands about I’m not the one you hold in the dark and I’m not the one there to make a spark I’m just the one you never gave a chance

Catalyst 05:14
Everything falls into place, just like it’s supposed to Perfection is easily erased and fades back to the start Thin walls and thin lies don’t do much to quiet your breathing Keep writing me letters so I’ll have something to tear apart Don’t say you’ve already forgotten the reason I called you When I’m cold and alone and I want you here, you’re never home Close enough isn’t close enough Did you tell everyone that you thought you saw God looking back in the mirror When you tore out your heart did it start to make things seem a little bit clearer When the writings on my wrist put pieces together in your world Will you blame it all on nerves Impulses lead to temptation that’s where it all started My hair stands on end as your fingers keep gripping my neck Alone at first light expectations they seem so unsettling My thoughts are the catalyst, jealousy spills down my throat Everything you’ve ever wanted fell straight through the floorboards When it’s all over we’ll build back the towers we had Close enough isn’t close enough Did you tell everyone that you thought you saw God looking back in the mirror When you tore out your heart did it start to make things seem a little bit clearer When the writings on my wrist put pieces together in your world Will you blame it all on nerves
5.
First things first lets face it, you pulled a nerve Call it off, we’ll fall, you just say the word Fall into familiar shapes All we needed then was a little faith Crawling back to where we know we’re safe Fall into familiar shapes Our shadows danced in candlelight chasing off the cold The rules we knew, we never took one word of advice and it showed You’ve got more options I’ve got nothing left to lose There’s only a single answer I always choose Fall into familiar shapes The look you give when the three pieces finally meet A blast of air so cold that it hurts your teeth Fall into familiar shapes
