francesca I have waited so, so many years for this and my god this is DELICIOUS. Truly impeccable. Saving Throw will be the reason I finally go deaf from my tinnitus but I'll be happy if this is the last thing I hear. Favorite track: Anywhere Else To Die.

Wrong Town 04:15
Wrong Town Maybe I'm too selfish to give a damn Keep it in the cage I call my hands I go to bed to escape it but I know it'll be there when I wake up The bleeding stump where form cut function's head off Was I born in the wrong town Or maybe the wrong year? Can you really call it an Irrational fear? I feel the pull but It won't move me yet But someday soon I will conquer all the evils in my head Maybe I don't mean all that I said Describing what it's like to feel regret And it's not quite what you meant to do but you Let it slide cuz that works too Cuz you are at the centre of my head Was I born in the wrong town Or maybe the wrong year? Can you really call it an Irrational fear? I feel the flowers In my chest unfurl But someday soon I will conquer all the evils in the world (Break) Was I born in the wrong town Or maybe the wrong year? Can you really call it an Irrational fear? I feel the urge to Sleep under the sea But someday soon I will conquer all the evils you gave me

SAD BOYS 04:31
Sad Boys I wanna tread a line With my life Connect the dots and maybe one day I will get it right And I spend my time Stepping to the tap of my thumb Running away from myself and Forgetting all the things I've done It's a sad, sad life for me And a sad, sad life for you And we're so, so sad about it And it'll be sad until it's through There's too much hair on my skin Too much skin on my bones And I get the creeping feeling My life is not my own Don't wanna spend my life Marching to the beat of a drum So I run away from myself and I quit all the things I've begun It's a sad, sad life for me And a sad, sad life for you And we're so, so sad about it And it'll be sad until it's through I don't care about myself As much as I say And I don't take care of myself As well as I portray One day I will turn myself Around but not today It's a sad, sad life for me And a sad, sad life for you So get up, get out and get done Sad Boys, go home No place for you when you are alone Left out, to dry No place for you to run and hide Sad Boys Go home Sad Boys Go home Sad boys (go home) Sad boys (go home) Sad boys (go home) Sad boys go home There's always a light on under my door Cuz I know what I'm looking for Or maybe I don't know and I've just fooled myself And they told me I could do anything But I have yet to see the proof So quit telling me I could do anything Oh it's just not true I don't care about myself as Much as I portray So quit telling me I Could do anything It's not even what I want to hear you say (Sad boys go home) It's not even what I want to hear you say (Sad boys go home) (Sad boys go home) (Sad boys go home) (Sad boys go home)

South 03:44
South I'm just killing time Til time kills me Running me down With this companionable fatigue My eyes align Sclera split by a searing seam Raising the dead 8 hours at a time Cuz I see you in my dreams I'm sending you down south To spend some time away You really have to go I wish that you could stay I hope you won't resent me You know it's for the best You'll be back soon I'm counting down the days Do you need joy To feel fulfillment? Waking up and smelling The decay I misaligned my eyes My direction my dismay, won't you Pull me up, push me out Give me something, something, something nice to say Please don't send me down south I can't bear the time away I'm letting my love kill me slowly I'm begging you to let me stay I know you're having doubts Slaughter my heart and tear my tongue out I'm already shattered now Nothing really bothers me anyway

Everything's Fine Lyrics Is there anybody out there? An echo of a question I can't seem to hide In my mind The answer’s isn't something that I know It's the greatest lie we tell ourselves Yet still untold Instead to be sold Kill your darlings, throw them to the crows Cuz what I want’s where no one ever goes There's only so much time I am wasting away You ask and everything's fine Cuz I can't find the words I wanna say There's only so much time To say all I wanna say Strike me down and don't let up But leave me out of your doomsday It's like there's something I can't see Sold the truth when I know it should be free But I can't see Feels like something should have happened by now Just to give and give and give, just to be burnt out Just put me out We've all been singing the same damn song for years Chew your pride and make friends with your fears I've been meaning to talk to all my Friends about what's eating me but I'm afraid my worries will just Fall apart on deafened ears and Hey I always say one day we'll be Alright But I am not feeling ok So empathise despite Our differences our loneliness our lives Tonight The future is in sight The future is in sight There's only so much time I am wasting away You ask and everything's fine Cuz I can't find the words I wanna say There's only so much time To say all I wanna say Strike me down and don't let up But leave me out of your doomsday

Anywhere Else To Die Home I missed you Like stars miss the sky when it is day But you didn't miss me But that's ok You're different than I was last here Different streets hold Different stores the Unions can't claim But the trees stay the same Oh, the trees never change I miss the days when we could So completely lose ourselves in leaves Even if there's no reception here No exceptions, we're Smashing bulbs and taking volts Straight into our spines, nightmare eyes Show me my friends as we find anywhere Anywhere else to die And I find patterns in the sky Tracing lines of distant ships Take me home and lead me there Tear my life to bits Tear holes from my skin And let the emptiness sink in And let it hurt, cuz that Means that it meant something But the leaves say my name Oh, the leaves say I'm to blame I miss the days when we could So completely lose ourselves in leaves Even if there's no reception here No exceptions, we're Smashing bulbs and taking volts Straight into our spines, nightmare eyes Show me my friends as we find anywhere Anywhere else to die I wanna bury myself in leaves Until the nightmares go away I'm home again but all my Friends aren't where I left them
