Shallow 05:16
lyrics
Two years down A love left dying How could you drown for someone so shallow? And still we see Who's been wrong more I bet it's me But I've been wrong before Look in my eyes With disdain on your face Does it make you blind? Or is it finally time? Where will you be when I need you most? I said I'm sorry for the pain I gave you thunder when you asked for rain Where will you be?

Feeling Lost 04:18
lyrics
Leaving from home once again at 7:03 Or is that where I'm going to? I guess we'll see It feels like a lifetime you don't get back Riding around as I dwell in discontent Driving for hours without a sound Just introspect The feeling of feeling lost In places you've been before But you forgot Moving forward while looking back Will fill you with abiding regret Time slows down Cars grow tails Streaks of red The metal dangles from the dash To kiss my skin Skyscrapers plated with pennies In the night As the sun sets A cloud becomes the sky

Shield 04:54
lyrics
In the darkest part of your heart There's a catastrophic mess That you can't see You know the pain's in reverse But it hurts no less And never leaves I know you are devout For things you love and can't live without But just stay here and learn how to breath Before your body bursts at the seems I ask you How does it feel to know you're breaking down? And put up your shield and tell me That you can't believe it's alright

Empty 04:12
lyrics
Hot water, white wine Sleep through death Sleep through life I feel so manic It's not easy losing your love In the chaos of my habits When she's gone you'll know it It feels as empty as it did Even on our good days Everything must go wrong Hot water, like wine Taste of death Taste of life

Aperture Priority 05:36
lyrics
Photographs of us Clipped on twine Wilting on a wall We see all night Reminders of what we thought we'd miss Aperture Priority Easy way out Imperfect prints With blown out highlights Porcelain portraits In black and white I'll take my camera out today And make mistakes I'll rewind memories that last a frame And forget what I made Press the shutter Wait a few months For a moment I missed One I didn't live in Pictures of our lives As they were Frozen life in a time worth living Help me save the joy it's giving

Progressive Collapse 06:42
lyrics
I feel the weight of the world I can't hold on but I know I should I let it down nice and slow We crumble when it's our time to go How do you figure we got here? Years of sharing selfish tears Rivers run south down your cheeks I'd wipe them away if you'd let me I sung you all your favorite songs Read love stories that didn't last long I'd do it again and I'd do it for free You're the only one that's stopping me It's hard to be mad when there is no love I'm not as scared of what you're capable of Kill me if you're so inclined I'm dying to return to my peace of mind Waiting for change is just waiting for death I'm waiting for progressive collapse For when my structure snaps I'll tell you right now I tell you the truth I'm waiting for progressive collapse Between me and you

Let You Down 04:47
lyrics
Our love was as sharp as the sound Of the spine of a paperback book Being slapped on an old table I'm just happy you're still here I let you down I let you down so bad I let you down So don't let me At least I can say I tried my best But it seems my best doesn't cut it I don't deserve you And you deserve better than me
