Semi-Invested
03:42
|

And I'm invested in the way you make me feel
I'm not getting over it, the way you make me real
Living in a hurricane is easy in the eye
It's when you spin me 'round and 'round I think I'm going to die
Close the door
Dim the lights
I'm in here
Stay the night
Disinterested in the things we did before
I've been spending too much time just lying on the floor
Can't believe it took so long for both of us to see
That there's no point to all the lies and triviality
Lock your doors
I'll go outside
Sorry I laughed
When you cried

Carbon Copy
03:06
|

Duplicate me, you'll be my carbon copy
Always you'll do what I'd do
Replicate me, the both of us will see
When there are two mes and no yous
Every day, I take a piece of you with me
And a piece of me fills the empty space
If we carry on, it won't be long
'Til every single part of you has been replaced
Duplicate me, you'll be my carbon copy
One in a million, but now there's two
Replicate me, the both of us will see
How everybody’s different, 'cept for me and you
At first the changes will come slowly
When your family notices a difference in your ways
But in a few weeks, you'll be unrecognizable
Soon you will be gone, and I'll be here to stay
And I know right now you think that
I'm a bad person in every way
But let's see if you feel differently
When you're living my life every single day
Duplicate me, youll be my carbon copy
Always you'll do what I'd do
Replicate me, the both of us will see
When there are two mes and no yous
Duplicate me, you'll be my carbon copy
One in a million, but now there's two
Replicate me, the both of us will see
How everybody's different, 'cept for me and you

Flavored Cardboard
02:20
|

Every Halloween, I dress up in a costume
Walk 'round the neighborhood saying trick or treat
But this year, I must've not done something right
Because nobody at all gave me anything to eat
I wanted candy but all I got was flavored cardboard
It's all I received from everyone in town
If I use my imagination, it tastes just like a chocolate bar but
The brown pulp leaves a bad taste in my mouth
All my friends got M&M's
Snickers and Milky Ways
I wish that I could have some
But no-one wants to give theirs away
But then I saw this guy dressed up in devil horns
He said that he would like to make a trade
All I have to do is give up my soul
And all my cardboard will turn into candy
And I couldn't refuse his offer
I shook a hand; we made a deal
It sure seemed worth it then
But in the long run, it wasn't ideal
Now I'm no more, but my spirit lingers on
I haunt the town on every Halloween
Putting cardboard in the baskets of the children
So that they all will end up like me
Like me

Wasted Saturdays
03:20
|
|||
Think fast, but don't take it back
Take your backpack off and your homework out
Sit down at your desk and actually do it
Don't mind in the back your mind
The little voice cries that it wants to do something else
Though you just give in, you know that you're better than this
It feels like another wasted Saturday, when all the time has
Gone away and all that's left is the looming week to come
You feel the seconds pass, their aftertaste is bitter and it
Lingers in the corners of your mouth
Don't look in a book, you're only young once and you need to make the best of it
Otherwise, you'll get old and you'll just find that you had a miserable life
But yet when you think about it, you can't do anything when
You've got homework hanging over your head
It feels like another wasted Saturday, when all the time has
Gone away and all that's left is the looming week to come
You feel the seconds pass, their aftertaste is bitter and it
Lingers in the corners of your mouth
Can't do anything productive if you've got schoolwork 'cause you need to get it done
Proceed to screw around for hours and hours on end
Have to do what really matters: get your priorities straight
You can't complain that you don't ever have any time
It feels like another wasted Saturday, when all the time has
Gone away and all that's left is the looming week to come
You feel the seconds pass, their aftertaste is bitter and it
Lingers in the corners of your mouth
It feels like another wasted Saturday, when all the time has
Gone away and all that's left is the looming week to come
You feel the seconds pass, their aftertaste is bitter and it
Lingers in the corners of your mouth
It feels like another wasted Saturday, when all the time has
Gone away and all that's left is the looming week to come
You feel the seconds pass, their aftertaste is bitter and it
Lingers in the corners of your mouth

Not Especially Nice
03:34
|
|||
I can't figure out why, but you act like I'm the greatest person on Earth
My attention means the whole wide world and then some
Guess I shouldn't be complaining but it's not something I know how to deal with
Yeah, I think you're fine and all, but it's clear that you like me more than I like you
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice
I don't know how to tell you when enough is enough
Sure, I like to be with you but you tend to lure me in
Now I've found it's easier to not engage you at all
I'm hoping that you'll find someone better than me, someone you deserve
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice
Though I wish I had the wherewithal
To be there for you and to give my all
And hold you and love you and kiss you and hug you and see you and need you and stay by your side
But we both know that that's not me
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice
I was never there for you
And I have never cared for you
And I'm not especially nice, not especially nice, not especially nice

Magellan
03:00
|
|||
You've got it all mapped out
You've got the world inside your hand
You'd crush me underneath your palm
If I gave you the chance
But I
I'm not buying what you're sellin'
You're a modern-day Magellan
Sail around the word 'til you turn around and then
You'll end up right where you started again
You want everything to work out
Your shortcuts won't do any good
In fifteen years, you'll be back home
Standing right where you stood
And I
I'm not buying what you're sellin'
You're a modern-day Magellan
Sail around the word 'til you turn around and then
You'll end up right where you started again
I'm not buying what you're sellin'
You're a modern-day Magellan
Sail around the word 'til you turn around and then
You'll end up right where you started again
No I
I'm not buying what you're sellin'
You're a modern-day Magellan
Sail around the word 'til you turn around and then
You'll end up right where you started again

Sharks
02:56
|

My friends are the sharks
I really like them for the people they are
But they made a request
And thought as a friend I try to do my best
I fear my parents will judge me
I know they'll say that I'm just throwing away my life
But they don't know how important this is to me
I don't know how I could live with myself
If I didn't follow through
I want to feed myself to the sharks
I want to be there for them
I need to be their human sacrifice
I want to be a good friend
How could I say no?
How could I protest?
What is there for me to do
But let them lay me to rest?
When I was younger
All I did was stare down at the water
They thought there was something wrong with me
But the sharks saw something no one else could see
And now the time has come
For me to repay the sharks for what they've done
They've been such great friends to me
And now I must return to the open sea
From which I first emerged
I want to feed myself to the sharks
I want to be there for them
I need to be their human sacrifice
I want to be a good friend
How could I say no?
How could I protest?
What is there for me to do
But let them lay me to rest?
I went down to the dock
It was high tide when I jumped off
But the end of my life was only the start
Now I'm forever swimming with the sharks

Which describes how you're feeling all the time
Which describes how you're feeling all the
Feeling all the time
There's this guy in the sky and he makes you want to
Want to make you sigh, like the time
When you felt like you're feeling all the time
And you sighed at the cracks in the ceiling all the time
You said "I'm feeling fine" but it didn't really rhyme
It didn't rhyme, overseas
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
It describes how you're feeling
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
When you lie that your life's unappealing all the time
But your lie doesn't rhyme with the word overseas
Overseas there's this guy
Who describes how you're feeling all the time
In his mind he can find how you're feeling all the time
From behind distant lines
Even straighter than his spine
Which is fine
Which is fine
And describes how you're feeling all the time

Marigolds
02:52
|
|||
I've been spending time alone
And I'm not gonna lie, it's nothing like I imagined it would be
It's hard just to move on
Not that I want to but they say I'll feel better so we'll see
It feels like, well, nothing
Not that I'm in denial; okay, yeah, denial's what you'd say
I'm crossing my fingers
Maybe it was just a joke or maybe someone made a mistake
Well, that's for sure
Mistakes were made
I hope that you know
It's the butter-yellow marigolds that line your drive
They peek through the windows, you can see them from inside
I walk through your garden, alone, and I ask myself why
I've been spending time just thinking
Watching pages of the calendar move up and up and disappear
I sit down on tile floor
I slump myself against the wall, I duck out of sight of the mirror
And I don't want to see
The face that will look back at me
And I never like to say
It's the butter-yellow marigolds that line your drive
They peek through the windows, you can see them from inside
I walk through your garden, alone, and I ask myself why
I don't know where I stand
But I know it's alone
I don't know how I feel
And I'll never forgive you
No, I'll never forgive you
It's the butter-yellow marigolds that line your drive
They peek through the windows, you can see them from inside
I walk through your garden, alone, and I ask myself why
(And I ask myself why)

Where did the winter go?
I want to be there in the snow
All I hear is rain
On my rooftop every day
Out in the winter cold
Trudging down the sidewalk all alone
Sound muffled, sky is white
You feel like you're the only man alive
Oh, please
Thirty-two degrees
I don't want anything at all
'Til winter's here to stay
I'm willing to freeze
If that is what it means
I just want the snow to fall
And bury everything away
Walking down the street
Hear the ice crack underneath our feet
The cold air stings and bites
But we know we'll be safe when we're inside
Oh, those were the days
Now they're just a distant memory
Still I hope every night
In the morning everything will be white
Oh, please
Thirty-two degrees
I don't want anything at all
'Til winter's here to stay
I'm willing to freeze
If that is what it means
I just want the snow to fall
And bury everything away
Oh, please
Thirty-two degrees
I don't want anything at all
'Til winter's here to stay
I'm willing to freeze
If that is what it means
I just want the snow to fall
And bury everything away

Unmemorable
03:24
|

Making a mental note of the grease spot on your ascot
That way I can point you out in a crowd
You accuse me of not taking you seriously
But I'm clearly doing the best I can
Mmmmmm
You are unmemorable
There's nothing about you that stands out at all
You are unmemorable
There's nothing about you that stands out at all
Yesterday I willed myself out of existence and you missed it
I cut myself out like a cyst from the world
They held a trial and it dragged along for days and days
I fell out of favor with the judge
Mmmmmm
I am unmemorable
There's nothing about me that stands out at all
I am unmemorable
There's nothing about me that stands out at all
