The Swerve 02:45
[instrumental]
2.
I am just another of your stories To tell to crowds at parties About how messed up my head is And effortlessly you left me Sorry, I'm not here just to clean up The mess you left me with After you left me behind to Find some other fool to discard Like a worn out toy that no kid Wants to pick up and play with again Oh, I can't tell you apart from The bloodstain on the carpet Oh, I can't get rid of you from The memories scarring my mind

You can touch it, but it won't show You can feed it and it will grow Don’t need it, ‘cause I can be Better off without it, don’t you see? This role that I play is dear to me This role that I play, it keeps me sane I can’t take my heart’s advice When my head is the one in control You can hide it, but no one knows You can eat it and you’ll be whole Don't want it, ‘cause then I might Be afraid of it, just like the night This role that I play makes me comatose The lies that I’ve told I cannot replace It knows the real me, that’s for sure It knows the real me, I can’t endure This role that I play is dear to me This role that I play, it keeps me sane I can’t take my heart’s advice When my head is the one in control This role that I play is dear to me This role that I play, it keeps me sane I can’t take my heart’s advice When my head is the one in control

Sorry I didn’t stay for this Where are those good ol' times we missed? I can’t keep up this act anymore It’s about time I went out the door I finally found a reason to separate A means to an end, a sign, a state I can’t break you for this I won’t make you pay for this My heart will ache for this My only regret Why can’t we just leave this alone? How can we still condone Our revelations of how we used to spend Our time together, should we attend To things left unsaid and soft spoken words Picked apart by the birds? I can’t break you for this I won’t make you pay for this My heart will ache for this My only regret Oh, I’ve found my place, my expectations Please come back and let me be myself again I can’t break you for this I won’t make you pay for this My heart will ache for this My only regret
5.
Dopamine 03:57
One, two Wait for the rush of energy that comes With time, as we chase after the sun and See ourselves reflected in the fire Burning, electric pulses that expire She’s like the sea, calm and asleep I try to fall and reach her deepest Trenches, a ray of light piercing through The waters, the darkness it subdues My heart will race like I’m still seventeen When my thoughts are on an overdose of dopamine Wait for the rush of energy that comes From within, the sun’s about to run Out of time, as we chase after the black hole left In its place without a heart to hold My heart will race like I’m still seventeen When my thoughts are on an overdose of dopamine My heart will race like I’m still seventeen When my thoughts are on an overdose of dopamine
6.
Clear 04:39
As the sun goes out and in its place a hole Appears in the sky and we can’t say why As the stars fade out, they fall one by one Clearly I don’t know why I stick around I know I follow your scripts to the letter Yet you look down on me With that look in your eyes that I know so well Clearly I don’t know why I stand my ground And now it’s clear to me That I never will See where the stars fell out From their homes up in the sky I can’t reach back and place them Where they belong I do as I’m told, there should be no complaints I heed to your every command I’m losing my grip on your choking alibis Clearly I don’t why I can’t be found As the sun goes out and in its place a hole Appears in the sky and we can’t say why As the stars fade out, they fall one by one Clearly I don’t know why I stick around And now it’s clear to me That I never will See where the stars fell out From their homes up in the sky I can’t reach back and place them Where they belong Oh, I don’t know Oh, I won’t know See where the stars fell out From their homes up in the sky I can’t reach back and place them Where they belong

Ecstasy 03:25
My iron lung is melting My bleeding heart is still beating The fire’s starting to burn me up The sparks ready to ignite It’s a bit of ecstasy running through my veins My skin feels like it’s been stained My iron lung is melting My heavy hands are still clenched This temple’s been desecrated My body’s temple is unholy now This temple’s been desecrated My body’s temple is unholy now My iron lung is melting The fire’s starting to burn me up It’s a bit of ecstasy running through my veins My skin feels like it’s been stained
8.
Siren 06:13
Wait for night to fall and sleep to come again Hold up, take these pills, they’ll help you reach a warm place Temptress in my temple, seduce me tonight Sound the sirens, I’m hearing voices again Are we nothing more than the snow falling on burning ground? Are we not without the love that makes the whole world turn round? Hey there, you temptress in my temple, seduce me tonight Hang on for a moment while I breathe your scent in and taste the salt on your skin Are we nothing more than the snow falling on burning ground? Are we not without the love that makes the whole world turn round? Are we nothing more than the snow falling on burning ground? Are we not without the love that makes the whole world turn round?

When you were young, you said I’d never be alone When you grow old, you’ll say that I was never the one to love you Take your time, I’ll complete myself I can’t do anything for you, let’s stop this now Call me names, call me anything you want Just know that it’ll never be enough, so this I may allow I live for this now I’ll die for you now No one ever said it would be easy to separate ourselves I don’t think I could ever escape this, so help me Ever since you left, you said I would never be alone Ever since you went, I’ve spent my nights looking at the stars above I wish I could find you, tell you all the things I never could I’ll do anything for you now Please someone help me find myself, I need to escape from this hell I owe you every breath I take I live for this now I’ll die for you now No one ever said it would be easy to separate ourselves I don’t think I could ever escape this, so help me These moments never last, I could never leave the past behind Something tells me it’s not over Something has crept into the back of my vision Blocking out all that I see Something has crawled into the depths of my heart Drowning me in a black sea No one ever said it would be easy to separate ourselves I don’t think I could ever escape this, so help me These moments never last, I could never leave the past behind Something tells me it’s not over

I've got a loose tooth in the back of my head It’s coming undone, I've got to shove it back in My body is like the night, as dark as a black hole Floating on the surface, picked apart by your hand Trying to breathe with sand shoved down my throat My shadow is my soul, making me choke Your body is a magnet, drawing me ever close You’re a pill, I need you with every dose I can’t seem to find where I need to be Try to stand still, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me I can’t seem to fill the void inside of me Try to calm down, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me I've got a loose tooth in the back of my head It’s coming undone, I've got to shove it back in Your body is a magnet, drawing me ever close You’re a pill, I need you with every dose I can’t seem to find where I need to be Try to stand still, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me I can’t seem to fill the void inside of me Try to calm down, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me We are a broken generation Living our days in silence The dying fires of our youth Are the only truth we’ll ever know I can’t seem to find where I need to be Try to stand still, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me I can’t seem to fill the void inside of me Try to calm down, we’ll be okay, it’s just love in the apocalypse We’ll find a place to stay, it’ll just be you and me

We found a hole in space We disappeared without a trace Looking back I knew we’d never find Where to begin after all this time I’m having trouble falling asleep It’s like I’ve fallen in too deep with you I’ve fallen in too deep with you I need the real me, something brand new Something brand new I need something new I need the real me back from you They found a trace of blood in your veins (I need the start of something of new, something new) They found a trace of blood in your veins, in your veins (I need the start of something of new, something new) (I want the real me back from you, back from you)
