The horrors on your shoulder
Are creeping ever closer
They’re creeping, creeping up your walls
Waiting for, watching for
Hungry for you to fall
Watch every step you make
Count every breath you take
They’re crooked ravens on the wall
They’ll pick and they’ll peck
Until there’s nothing,
there’s nothing left
They’re waiting for watching for
Hungry for you to fall
But you won’t
And they say “hey you—
Just look on the bright side of the
Hey you just take my advice and run
Hey you just spread your wings and fly away
Hey you just smile- take it day by day.”
Hey you just look on the brightside of the sun.
Now they’re filling in your clothes
You’re losing all control
Tearing, tearing down the halls
Try every door inside
Just want to get out alive
Look to your left and right
Find there’s no one besides
The crooked ravens on the wall
Posting up high
Can’t escape from their evil eye
They’ll pick and they’ll peck
Until there’s nothing
There’s nothing left
So let’s go.
And they say “hey you—
Just look on the bright side of the
Hey you just take my advice and run
Hey you just spread your wings and fly away
Hey you just smile- take it day by day.”
Hey you just look on the brightside of the sun.
They’re burning all you know
But you’re hiding in the smoke
Building, building up your walls
Keep your defenses up
Survive this with any luck
You run to escape
Can’t accept that this is your fate
But they’re never, never letting up
If it’s all in my head
Why can’t I catch my breath?
I’ll run to escape
Can’t accept that this is my fate
And I won’t
And they say “hey you—
Just look on the bright side of the
Hey you just take my advice and run
Hey you just spread your wings and fly away
Hey you just smile- take it day by day.”
Hey you just look on the brightside of the sun.

Take us down
Figure us out
Break us up
We’ll shake it off
Its alright
We’re out tonight
We’re doing fine
Cuz we’re doing it yeah
Cuz we’re doing it yeah
Cuz we’re doing it right
I never asked for you to save me
I think I’ve screamed pretty damn clearly
I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need you to take my hand
Follow me
Maybe you’ll see
What we do
To fool you
What are we?
What we are
Until we aren’t
Or ‘til we fall yeah
Until we fall a-
No. We won’t fall.
I never asked for you to save me
I think I’ve screamed pretty damn clearly
I don’t need you to understand
I don’t need you to take my hand
Take us down
Figure us out
Break us up
We’ll shake it off

Hey! Hey!
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Waoh oh oh Ah oh oh oh
Thank you, I said thank you
For all the broken promises
Everything we could have been
Where did you go?
What did I not know?
Why was this so hard?
We watched it all fall apart
Hey! Hey!
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Waoh oh oh Ah oh oh oh
Thank you, I said thank you
For all the broken promises
Everything we’ll never be
I said Where did you go?
What did I not know?
Why was this so hard?
You watched it fall apart

Automate Me
Take me home- I’m
Ready to go- I
Can’t stay here
With you in my ear
It’s so frustrating
The time I’m wasting
I’m half listening and
Fully repeating
Automate me
Kill my fake smiles and misery
Automate me
One advancement from replacement
Automate me
Take my pride but save my life
Automate me
One extension from extinction
A busted button
A cracked screen
Is that all I mean?
So let my go
You’ve lost control
And you should just replace
This out of date
And costly mistake
Yeah cut your losses
You cheapskate
Automate me
Kill my fake smiles and misery
Automate me
One advancement from replacement
Automate me
Take my pride but save my life
Automate me
One extension from extinction
A busted button
A cracked screen
Is that all I mean?
Automate me
Kill my fake smiles and misery
Automate me
One extension from extinction
Automate me
Take my pride but save my life
Automate me

Incandescent
I’ve been walking outside
In weather I hate more
It doesn’t mean that much
That’s just Baltimore
This gray repetition
It aches more and more
This regurgitation
Makes less sense, makes less
As she dreams of that electric spring time
She enhances what it must have been like
She can’t trust her mind and I can’t trust mine
Don’t let this flicker, it can’t flicker
Holding softly, slowly dropping
I can’t fight this, it’s not stopping
Driving further, driven inward
I don’t know what I think my life’s worth
As he burns from that scalding summer
His thoughts turn, start to turn to others
He forgives her but does not forget her
And he worries that this is not over yet
Oh but yet
Oh but, oh but, oh but…
Oh but yet
Oh but, oh but, oh but yet!
As they recall those fluorescent seasons
Bright as bright could be but harsh as reason
Warm and welcome turned hard and sharp
Don’t let this decay, oh it can’t decay
I can’t decide my life’s untied
Held back when I left for outside
Brains and hearts get bent and broken
But you’re not unloved
You’re just unspoken

Do the 154
Hey you there, come on and dance with me
Come let free
Forget responsibility
Forget it all, forget me
Hey you there, come on and talk to me
Come see if you can keep up
Now I’m waiting for—
What am I waiting for?
I don’t get to forget you
No not this
There is no reset button that I can press
So go ahead explain, explain this mess
I don’t get to forget you
But I digress
Hey you there, come on and dance with me
Come see
Am I what you wanted?
Oh baby
Come on and dance with me
Hey you there, ya couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
Running circles
You’re so unprepared
But didn’t you want this?
I don’t get to forget you
No not this
There is no reset button that I can press
So go ahead explain, explain this mess
I don’t get to forget you
But I digress
Hey you there, you’re not what I expected
Two left feet
And nothing else to mention
Oh baby, you couldn’t talk to me
Hey you there, couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
About to walk out
I don’t even care
This isn’t us anymore
Hey you there
Hey you there
Ya couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
No reset button
And you’re unprepared
For all you wanted
All you wanted
