The Woods 03:10
Last night I downed two bottles of water I lay on the floor, felt my chest rise and fall and tried not to think about the future. Cause then my hand will curl into fists all the novels I'm reading for school oh my friends, I don't have the time To fairly love you all It's about time that someone finally looked our way We've been here all along Working hard, keeping strong But this band just doesn't pay And your despair fills every space Covering our faces with hoods While our eyes are going green From too much looking at the woods Hiding in cool, crisp sheets like a dusk-lit dream
2.
Passing 01:30
I'm holding back my anger My temper has flared and I'm languishing in this school It's a daily reminder The world will never be mind, be yours, be safe, be cool If you gave me attention I'd have nothing to say Maybe these words are better unworn A lack of confrontation And my hair was so short that I always passed for a boy It's not hard to say 2012 has left a bad taste in my mouth If I ever get my way then I won't be seeing any of you around

On Edge 02:57
Sat on a stiff chair, Googling symptoms Trying to remember the day, trying to recall what I wore You're singing voice sounds staged or at least incredibly different It doesn't stumble on the high notes anymore Looking at wild roads Dark, rural and twisting Trying to remain calm and hope that I looked good We made own drinks knew nothing about mixing Made me feel stronger More powerful than I should Everything's golden 'till that power goes If I'm feeling self-conscious I'll get dressed in the bathroom People overstep boundaries: you can never be sure It's not that I don't trust you it's just how the world raised me Never let your guard down You've been warned I was warned Everything's golden 'till that power goes
4.
House Phone 01:50
Call me on the house phone We'll talk 'till it hurts to think Things have been stilted since I got home They really thought that time away would do me good But the tests went out and the results are in Calculate the resulting hemorrhaging I bled for you when I was fourteen And you're still in every damn record I spin So call me on the house phone Please just don't leave me alone Your bed's dishevelled from the mess of sleep Just remember you reap what you sow You can't hide in the night's dark deep anymore We're both only going to be eighteen for so long Despite the misleading information of that pop-punk song Old age, growing up, growing old - it's coming for us whether we like it or not Whether we like it or not So call me on the house phone
5.
Cinema Woes 01:20
Just talk it out And then leave it alone I said "I want a clean slate, for when I leave home" You got a stupid face and a smile that might grow But I'd rather a billion miles than cinema woes Me, I hate open fields and countryside roads Just give me cities and bars and punk rock shows You got a stupid face and smile that might grow But i'd rather a billion miles than cinema woes You were the first of the last of my tide's golden sea And for that I sincerely hope that you'll remember me
