Girls in the Neighbourhood, why do I have to wait? I don't want to be myself but I have to anyway I sit on the couch all day wishing I had more time I tell you I hated the way you used to say my name I was waiting for you then Am I waiting for you now? I don't know The way you spit your hate at me, it felt so good Unattended baggage all alone Am I here now? Are you on the phone? Can I go outside yet? Or would you chase me down? It doesn't make a difference now Girls in the Neighbourhood, why do I have to wait? I don't want to be myself but I have to anyway I sit on the couch all day wishing I had more time I tell you I hated the way you used to say my name I was waiting for you then Am I waiting for you now? I don't know The way you spit your hate at me, it felt so good Unattended baggage all alone Am I here now? Are you on the phone? Can I go outside yet? Or would you chase me down? It doesn't make a difference now And I can't believe I let you slip away like that Didn't know I needed you, 'til you got up and left Midnight messages to let you know how I felt And now I'm stuck to deal with the hate I have for myself Girls in the Neighbourhood, why do I have to wait? I don't want to be myself but I have to anyway I sit on the couch all day wishing I had more time I tell you I hated the way you used to say my name

So Lonely 04:07
Dip an apple into your mind Discover your thoughts Well it feels like an angel, thats all I've seen There's nothing left, please show me what you mean The magma soaks your spine And it's not the first time Come on honey, don't bathe in your fear And now you're so lonely, but my way is clear I don't mean to interrupt you don't think I mean half of this stuff Well it's cloudy inside, and it feels real rough Find myself sorry for being part of your club The magma soaks your spine And it's not the first time Come on honey, don't bathe in your fear And now you're so lonely, but my way is clear The magma soaks your spine And it's not the first time Come on honey, don't bathe in your fear And now you're so lonely, but my way is clear

I want you to remember me through Saturated blue, Oh dear Reminding me always to bring a better day The sound of you breathing, do you need me you again? And there's method to my madness Oh what would I do, if you wanted me to Pretend the world was your little girl I'd find A million minds, all together combined In a place where your messages are read Your phone's never dead A state of regret, that you'll never forget And it's gone when you want it It's never coming back You have had an attack of a childish act Sing for me when morning is green and not obscene When my lover is lingering over me You see, it's a pointless dream to have and it haunts me Girl, you're not my world And there's method to my madness Oh what would I do, if you wanted me to Pretend the world was your little girl I'd find And there's method to my madness Oh what would I do, if you wanted me to Pretend the world was your little girl I'd find That you're telling me lies of a better kind Just a kid lost in my own bullshit To describe the frame of mind I can't And there's method to my madness And there's method to my madness And there's method to my madness And there's method to my madness

The Merchant 03:48
Love is measured by the deepness that you fall And judged by how low you're willing to crawl There is a kingdom, a queen without a crown For her, I'll be staying around, I hope she knows that now She's the merchant of my bloods desires Words like honey that the addicts require Ignite the flame of her love's fire Oh share your heart with me A gaze of passion, in a moment's lapse Seems to linger longer, I thought perhaps Underneath the moons radiant glare She did not make a sound, the queen without a crown She's the merchant of my bloods desires Words like honey that the addicts require Ignite the flame of her love's fire Oh share your heart with me She's the merchant of my bloods desires Words like honey that the addicts require Ignite the flame of her love's fire Oh share your heart with me

Planted fossils in the sand Could've dug 'em up if we had planned The time had escaped from our grasp No, things don't ever last I tell it how it is Said that you might have a break You said that yesterday Sun shining, have the rest of the day You don't want me anyway Baby I'll be gone when you end up running back I wish you had some sort of man Who could lend a helping hand We plant, the fossils, in the sand And it'll be different babe when you return in a month To find yourself outside of the world You used to live and breathe every day You say, the fossils, weren't so great Baby, Baby, you're in my head again Talking 'bout all the shit you'd do to him Baby, Baby, you're with my friends again Finding ways to run away with them Baby, Baby, you're in my head again Talking 'bout all the shit you'd do to him Baby, Baby, you're with my friends again Finding ways to run away with them

A man of my word, I know that you heard The way I think about myself You don't have to tell me that you do it better Well since I met her, she's been away I don't have the time to constantly whine About all the bad shit that I said Why am I so blind? I have to remind people 'bout the good things I did It's not coming back, but I guess we can pretend That we were never friends Well I don't mind the pain you put me in Said you'll be here soon You wanna stay in the world's coolest hotel rooms I hate to imagine the feelings of doubt You get when you open your mouth It's not coming back, but I guess we can pretend That we were never friends Well I don't mind the pain you put me in It's not coming back, but I guess we can pretend That we were never friends Well I don't mind the pain you put me It's not coming back, but I guess we can pretend That we were never friends Well I don't mind the pain you put me in It's not coming back, but I guess we can pretend That we were never friends Well I don't mind the pain you put me in
