Wait for an ordinary time When the numbers add up right The hands on all the clocks align All those days you wasted Crash back in your face again Return all of your animation Nothing left but white light Wait it all out again Dream when the morning gets too bright You’ve been spending all your nights With your mind circumscribed Cataloging details Of all the time you’ve spent awake Wonderin if you’d know it When you figure out the take Wait it all out again

Soft Lies 02:45
Oh, what a shame It's always been this way Been runnin red lights But only sometimes Just to go the way Oh, what a shame I always feel okay Been tellin soft lies But only sometimes Just to seem alright Day after day Night after night Been chewin cheeks through Just to speak to someone honestly Oh, what a shame Got all this time So I keep typing Five out of ten tries I can seem alright Wide-eyed in the money Putting off a heart attack Trying to get some feeling back So, pinch me Oh, what a shame It's always been this way

Sad Bones 03:33
Been thinkin about the reasons why all day I'm drivin not turning back It’s just better this way I guess With no one in my place If it’s all made up It’s all right honey Can’t even try to lie to you Oh no you'd see right through the windshield To the road I’m movin on Been thinkin about the faces I’m making lately Why I never do one twice There’s just so many fools in the mirror to meet Tryin to get a piece of my mind Thinkin about the way things might have been If I saved the face that’s looking back Reflected on the windshield between Me and the road I’m movin on Sad bones just a hanger for your woes Sad bones sit tight tonight Sad bones gettin tight in paradise Sad bones sit down tonight Thinkin about the reasons why all night I’m drivin not turning back It’s just better this way I guess To be so out of place If it’s all made up it’s all right honey I can’t even try to lie to me Starin out the windshield again To the road I’m movin on Sad bones just a hanger for your woes Sad bones sit tight tonight Sad bones gettin tight in paradise Sad bones sit down tonight

Pick up these broken pieces And find where I begin Pace through tilted mazes Over and over and over again Assembly line of days go by And by without an end Older yet I don't know why I wake up in my bed Fill in the missingness With photos on the wall Scroll through endless evidence That I was there at all Conveyer belt of everything I've ever thought about If I blow my mind wide open Will it all come rushing out Let it go Let it go on then These eyes are blind I fail to realize my mind Let it go Let it go on then These eyes are blind I fail to reason why I try Make up the difference When I come back to myself Roses in a carry-on I'll beg forgiveness then Sixteen hours spent changing chairs Watching clouds pretend they're land Younger now I don't know how I wake up in my bed Let it go Let it go on then These eyes are blind I fail to realize my mind Let it go Let it go on then These eyes are blind I fail to reason why I try Pick up these broken pieces And find where I begin

Map Room 02:39
Same sea, new wave Somebody shoulda walked away You're runnin in circles You find a way out Almost drowned in the map room All I ever wanted was a waterway You're runnin in circles You find a way out Skate by always throwing mountains Face it, just another look You've been thinking I should call you If only I had something else to say Same dream, rogue wave Woke up in the pouring rain You're runnin in circles You find a way out Switch hitter got you swimming backwards Looking in the mirror for the worst bad actor Runnin in circles You find a way out
