Miss Mary 03:46
I gotta work in the morning And this shits so important So I can’t get high No I can’t get high I thought this stuff helped anxiety It must be something inside of me Does anybody know why, I can’t get high? I can’t sleep no I can’t eat I don’t wanna try Please Miss Mary Won’t you spare me Something to get me by Where to begin I don’t know how Hallucinations suck big time bud Spiders out the mouth Breathing in Breathing out Ive been hiding in low low places with some funny looking dudes with some fucked up faces and I can’t help but feeling I will always be at the bottom I think I’m allergic or something Better goin’ with nothing So I won’t get high No, I won’t get high By all means do it if it helps For me it makes my brain melt Does anybody know why, I can’t get high? I can’t eat No I can’t sleep I don’t wanna try Please Miss Mary Won’t you spare me Something to get me by Where to begin I don’t how Hallucinations suck big time bud Spiders out the mouth Breathing in Breathing out Ive been hiding in low low places with some funny looking dudes with some fucked up faces and I can’t help but feelin' I’ll always be at the bottom

Take me where I wanna be Im along for the ride On your hand and with your stride The wine bottle’s gone empty Every breath feels like blinking No more doubts and no more thinking I hope that I can change, you know that I’ve tried Throw me a rope I’ve started sinking Do we have to go? I don’t understand why Am I afraid to grow? Do I have too much pride? are we falling victim to mid 20’s romanticide Its hard to leave the friends on my side Who will take care of them if I leave them all behind? I guess that’s just the 2 in me I cant deny the congruency I don’t wanna leave I don't wanna take my time The days go by I still can’t fly You can’t pay no mind So pick a side Or say goodbye

Stockholm 03:44
Daddy won’t you stow the bottle Momma can’t you put those pills away would it be so bad if he would stop getting mad and this was his final sip today? I can’t stand to bear the burden No I don’t think that we can make you stay a house is not a home if the one who’s not yet grown has to be the one to bear all of this pain But please Love me I know I need your presence Your smell is just like heaven Oh please Don’t leave I could make you better Get through all this weather and grow like a tree from a seed

Wallow 03:33
I just wanna do nothing I just wanna sleep all day This is my depression You can’t take it away I just wanna feel something I bet you feel the same It’s no exception You are the only one to blame I hate to see you wallow In your filth, we follow Come on get a grip You idiot We’re sick of this shit You wallow We follow A never ending game The story is the same Own your ugly Move past the shame It’s only inevitable Why are you so afraid Do you know that you’re wrong I had to write this song To keep me from saying “It’d be better if I was just gone”

Pick Up 04:03
Hows the view from inside the bottle of your mind The way we remember how furniture was arranged in our house on your couch Your'e pushing me away now This is how it all comes crashing down Your heart strings They have frayed The sleeves that you wore From now on digressions come to light in a perfect form Run and hide No longer sleeping by my side Pick Up Go on Get gone I don’t wanna see this carry on Get your stuff Go on and leave I don’t want you here next to me I hear your voice from time to time Probably cause we share the same street sign I can’t get away and that’s okay I might better off at the east side I don’t know what the hell I’m supposed to do now Because I can’t seem to get away from you No I can’t No matter how hard I keep trying You keep showing up Run and hide No longer sleeping by my side Pick Up Go on Get gone I don’t wanna see this carry on Get your stuff Go on and leave I don’t want you here next to me
