i wanna call this chief suckerpunch, but she says i use that word too much so i guess that that puts me in a bit of a bind. woke up wasn't feelin well, but i told this body you can go to hell cause tonight i wanna see what trouble i can find. we have a solution for you. my movements make no sense, cause i live life with no consequence, and there is never any reason to decide. happens again, doesn't matter at all, there's always someone else to call, and you don't need to look for a place to hide. fine, we're all fine, physician, heal yrself.

she sees you coming but she’s not about to fight no longer bothered by the problem, wrong or right she’s seen the panic but she knows it’s not the end knows what’s expected but she really can’t pretend she doesn’t need you to defend her cause if you need to then you’ll know her she doesn’t want you to remember worried that it means that it’s all over she’s seen it happen and she can tell you how it goes but if you don’t know now you’ll probably never know cause she’s a veteran, knows what weapons are for doesn’t care about the battle she just wants to win the war no need for mediation no rush to interpret no hint of hesitation if it was worth it so was it worth it?

the ledge 03:43
impossible to remember all that’s in between unstoppable, we will never know all that we’ve seen brought you close to the ledge, let you see it let you see yr not that high washed yr mouth out with soap cause you needed it now i’ll know if yr telling me lies i try to get through to you, but it’s all so new to you and we don’t know what’s coming next things come in stages, so watch for the changes and keep hoping for the best watched you stare right into the mirror tried to blank the look on yr face but no distance can make it much clearer if you could you would leave with no trace how will you know when it's the best one if you don't take the time to wonder why? it's easy to get lost inside the question it's easier if you don't even try you tried.
4.
all time 03:59
all is forgiven, she just wants to dance and we’re all glad to oblige we call it living, but we don’t stand a chance if we don’t have a way to survive how much time have you wasted while you wait for something else do come along how much time have you wasted while you worry you might be wrong all is forgotten, she just wants to sleep and we’re all glad for the rest we’re not stopping, but we cannot keep waiting to see what comes next can anything good come from this restless urge? this is no special event, this is no catch-as-catch-can, this is all time i will turn this around, or i will burn this place down
5.
it’s not a celebration, it’s a warning new every night, old every morning all of us here were sanctified by shame embraced embarrassment and sang the holy name well i can explain, dear. please don’t explain, just repeat the refrain, refrain from repeating oh, i’m afraid to die, cause i live for nights like this repeat the refrain, refrain from repeating, yr easy to deny but yr so hard to resist it’s not a celebration it’s a warning we don’t recall the youth yr mourning all of us here were civilized by shame embarrassed by ambition as we tried to make a name
6.
unified theory (free) 03:49
i’m no one’s idea of a leading man i’m in the world i’m of the world and i’ll come through, i always do when i’m in love with a girl won’t settle down, won’t leave this town don't know much other than this and i'll be good, i know i should i'd like to think i'll be missed there’s no unified theory it’s much too easy to wander and if you ever drift near me you’ll dream of pulling me under blessed mother, meek and mild, how’d you end up with that child? i’m a prodigal son, a philadelphian no random hand i was dealt i won’t prepare, i don’t despair i made a pact with myself
7.
same noise 04:06
we have no use for grand pronouncements, stay tuned for the next announcement i’m alive and awake and i’ll be sleeping alone we thought getting lost was the point we were seduced and then destroyed slack-jawed and rotten to the bone we passed the fire taking turns put under the bushel and the bushel burns i remember days of being wild i’ll flip pages and stare at screens, it’s all the same to me i won’t complain i’m not a child the same noise get away from me this is a check don’t negotiate preserve, archive, record, curate whose body is this anyway? the old mythology defense re-conceive notions until we relent and we have nothing left to say nothing left to idolize, nothing to be entitled by, there’s no poetry in purity when there’s so much confusion bad ideas become solutions mistook yr meanness for sincerity thought about it for so long didn’t know what to do once we go here we can’t leave it better than we found it so it’s better just to leave all i can do is hold on to you
8.
if yr being honest you don’t know what honest means yr talking about things you've never seen yr a tip jar filled with anecdotes that read like dirty jokes watch yr knowing words go up in smoke we still call it a miracle when anything gets done momentum that won’t stop once its begun but separate the moment from what had come before or it will just confuse you even more all the world seems so strange again you’ve got it all so well arranged and then if this is being helpful you don’t know what helpful means we all know there’s no way to be redeemed yr a sandbag on the bank for when the current gets too high does it make you feel much better to say you tried? there are secrets you can say out loud that hides them even more like a path you lost you knew so well before a thousand tongues are speaking, but language is a tomb that holds on to ideas gone too soon
9.
my demise 04:54
there is not an answer that could satisfy i want broken glass, iron lung, empty room, silver tongue don’t mistake accidents for excellence you seemed to know what was coming but yr reaction was delayed we are far from even now we may never see the day why would i allow my own demise? (might be nice) there is not a reason that could bring relief i want broken hearts, tired lungs, crowded rooms, silver tongue don’t mistake confidence for competence
10.
stop paying 04:24
we depleted our resources everything we had was broken we wanted to be left with less the perils of suspension took too long to manifest and now we pay for what we used to have and when the wages of sin become outrageous again, we’ll stop paying and when the way we react reminds us all what we lack, we’ll stop playing and when we figure it out beyond a shadow of doubt, we’ll keep quiet they say the words that we use just end up lighting a fuse, we don’t buy it she says she needs clarity she says a well-lived life has room for irony and sincerity she says i need someone to take care of me she says she’ll be my wife but i know she considers it charity oftentimes, the symbol and the word don’t match off in time, the letter and the lover disconnect oftentime, the subject and the verb don’t agree off in time, the lips and the language won’t join
11.
vulgar conventions and common inventions castoffs and hand-me-downs like before no simple connection no easy intention no lovely lullabies or rewards so what could i do? where do we go from here? the leverage that we used to have will no longer work perfect occasions and pretty persuasion yr favorite fairytale isn’t real so no conversations and no indications no empty gestures just to feel so what could i do? where do we go from here? the leverage that we used to have will no longer work
