100 Months 03:38
the phone rings from where i am sitting on the floor surrounded by month-old dirt and grime i don't even recognize your voice i am lost until you say your name so, what are you calling for? where were you a hundred months before? i can't speak and now you've landed at my side i hear your footsteps from my desk we say 'hello' like everything's the same and when you disappear again i won't give a fuck i won't worry about you you've got other plans i'm not gonna miss you
2.
Sideways 02:08
don't push too hard, or not at all it feels like midnight but there is no time why don't you walk on me? dry heat and cold floors i'm coming up short through the taped-up windows it's snowing outside why don't you walk on me? straighten my spine i want to hide under the blankets with you for days lost in your eyes straighten my spine i want to hide under the blankets with you for days

Bitch Reflex 02:44
you know they can read you by your look so don't make it worse, don't show that hurt they can predict your next break so just keep it in, don't say a word i can't keep you quiet even when i hold your tongue i am on your shoulder have another glass of wine and the bitterness slips through the cracks you know they can read you by your look so don't make it worse, don't show the hurt they don't respect you anyway so just shut your mouth just shut your mouth
4.
Licotine 02:52
walk through the door i never know what to say never know how much we've had to drink i never know just how to fight i want to fall through the floor then apologize you can't stay with me it won't make things better how will this conversation end? will i end up in bed alone? whiskey hangover hanging over every little word you can't stay with me it won't make things better if we stay the same one will be left behind if we stay the same everything goes backwards when you stay the night we're right back where we started i'm not sorry that you had to go i know it's for the better
5.
F Yourself 02:11
today words are not enough to say what i mean and today i have fought enough to lose everything so do you feel proud? so find yourself a new release changing me enough to be the enemy find yourself comfort in knowing that it's killing me it's killing me babe, this is killing me enough to mean it literally
6.
i am sticky and tasting sweat we're hardly breathing i'm gonna stay this time there is no light only flesh scars to claws i'm gonna stay this time i've chewed through miles of skin and bone no one can violate these walls i'm shaking lovers off like plague you are the glow and i'm the end i knew the others were too bland you won't stray i'm gonna stay this time you are the glow and i'm the end
7.
Thumbsucker 01:26
lying in our bed my hands are moving all alone in one small patch of sun and i'm sucking on my thumb i wish you were home, wish you were home i'm pretending it's summer and i'll cook you some dinner later tonight white dimpled flesh yeah i could be thinner 5 o'clock light and the north west wind my hands are moving all alone
8.
slide inside feel me within you you need this just one touch take everything kill my fears, drown them away you do i need you so much more than i told you kill my fears, you want this from me you do i told you, i told you i would squeeze my heart with your fisted tongue it rips right through it tears through and it takes you
9.
crack open another one and think that it won't drive me to be like mother while i'm cleaning up your blood i've said i'm sorry that this cake is ruined and you know that i won't let go now four to three and i know that you're gone a condescending tone standing in the doorway he wants to bash his head against the wall i'm not giving up now, i will crawl for more what, did you expect me to shut my mouth? you'll never see the walls comin' down on you you'll never fight like i do for the heat inside the sound i have a razor heart i have bigger plans we are standing still we are shit and dust you'll never see the walls comin' down on you you'll never fight like i do for the heat inside the sound for the desecration of our dreams, the desecration of our love-in it's all, it's all gonna turn around
10.
Lego Cities 02:52
look around yourself everything came from what was natural everything you see everything came from what was here in the earth doesn't that seem just a bit weird? look around your house mexico, china, thailand, indonesia turn the other cheek you stop ahead but you can't see your own feet any more stand in your shoes everyone is gonna lose run out your fire escape as your lego city starts to burn look around yourself everything came from what was here in the earth stand in your shoes think of all the shit that you use stand on your mountain top as your lego cities melt away

Urine Fire 02:48
the bottle and my deepest love fight the night erases everything i'm not afraid of being alone and i'm afraid of everything you're not fine you're on fire it's three a.m. and you're not there the morning comes and we're entwined i will stay away from fire i'll fix this now i swear no pretending, no repeating i'll try you're on fire don't try to tell me you're fine you're on fire
12.
Sola 03:38
i've lost my ribcage and i've lost my spine numbers and faces ink, blood and chords i'm outside of outside off and on and it all comes out like underwater when nothing's wrong i have nothing to say dark chocolate headache that won't go away (i'm catching sparks from the shore) anger barely spans the distance when you're selfish and a smart ass hedonism running all the things i say
13.
the combination of medication and monotony nostalgic sip, slip through the nod forty-five more that i know rage unseen through the distant dial tone repeat, repeat, repeat twenty-nine more, six hours and thirty-two minutes to go thirty-eight more, five hours and twenty-seven minutes to go i just want to shut up and sleep eyes stuck shut salty-sweet
14.
green light glow, with my face against your chest naked and being, i hear every tremor of your lips, tongue, teeth and quiet choke on fear he asks me how i feel, and i don't know i'm so uncertain in this skin and i keep breathing i don't wanna let go white knuckles with black nails i'm gonna run right backwards to you until i find the light and we've never quite found the trust and i've done this so many times i'm a selfish little cunt, you think i'd learn my lesson and i'd shut my fucking mouth i'm going to fuck myself so that i can feel and i promise i won't take it for granted
