The Arsonist 03:36
The Arsonist She said she likes fire engines But that ain’t the truth She liked the boys in uniform But what can you do? Man this feels so familiar Egos starting to bruise My jealous mind is a killer That comes alive with the blues Trying to stay on the tracks of the mainline And then as if right on cue A bit of truth wrapped in a white lie Another turn of the screw Light on the details and short on the fuse Severed our ties, said our goodbyes Tired of sorting the truth from the lies She started to cry, got lost in her eyes Numbed by the words she spoke through the sighs She wears a disguise by playing the friend She runs down the clock just to start it again Then I look in those eyes…Oh man! Gonna throw the switch on the mainline I’m gonna turn this around Gonna light a fire to the grapevine I’m gonna turn this around Rebuild the trust and the regard I’m gonna turn this around Or drag the whole thing out to the graveyard Where I’ll burn it all down, down, down, down!

The view from orbit I like the sounds that anger makes The words are loud The fist comes down The tension breaks From out of bounds From deep within Just walk away You lost today Consuming all the rational thoughts Consume me, transport me Make me feel indifferent I don’t even answer my calls anymore I don’t even answer my calls anymore Climb aboard, there’s more to see I adore you Just gotta figure out how to show you

Left Unsaid 02:53
Left Unsaid Low energy No memory Useless waste of time Consuming me Holding my head Taking my time Fall out of bed Fall into line It should have all been left unsaid You took as much as you could get Forget it Regret it Pathetic Pass the phone this call’s for me What’s that you said Talking in rhymes Over my head Maybe this time It should have all been left unsaid You took as much as you could get Self Self-fulfilled prophecy Blood was spilled Like you said It should have all been left unsaid You took as much as you could get I made a bet and now I regret it Self-fulfilled

Reel It In 02:28
Reel it in Ate stems every night for a month Traced colors and lines And lost touch But near the end I finally reeled it in The need analyze so much The search for meaning and logic I suppose the reason is The line will reach an end Reel it in It I can Reel it in If I can We started bright We started to blur The light dissolves The light endures Reach for the sky Reaching for the sky To find a savior I will not betray you I was trying to save you No need to agonize so much Freeze every moment in time Cause the line will reach an end Time to reel it in Reel it in I can

The Clock 04:31
The Clock Ticking down, ticking down now Ticking down, clock is ticking down Ticking down, ticking down now Ticking down, the clock is ticking down The clock is slowly winding down It’s getting hard to focus now The vision’s gone There’s only sound It’s coming ‘round It’s going down Do you believe now? You all look the same Same disguise on a different face Nothing to gain Feeling lost But rarely feeling shame They’re probably drowning out the sound From the endless bouts of hope and doubt The fearlessness of holding out We won’t bow down We don’t know how Hey, look at me now! We’re always down Come around It’s a big sound Come and drown We’re always down It’s allowed We’re at peace now We were so close But we struggled to remain Pulled the plug Baby down the drain When you’re down When you’re down You can drown I look around Look around Where are you now? When you’re down You can drown I look around Look around Look around Where are you now? We’re always down We’re always down We’re always down We’re always down Do you believe now?
