A Million Damn Mistakes 04:06
lyrics

I live on a sinking ship with my heroes they're cool guys but I'd rather be home alone we live real good here at least for now but we live with the knowledge of what we have become stranded here on this bullet hole ship we know that this is almost over someday soon these shark-filled waters'll close over us we're going under tomorrow to sleep in the sea a million damn mistakes and now I can see I wanna leave this sinking ship with my heroes but there's no lifeboats and time is running out we're in the water and none of us can swim and when this ship sinks, we go down with it stranded here on this bullet hole ship we know that this is almost over someday soon these shark-filled waters'll close over us we're going under tomorrow to sleep in the sea a million damn mistakes and now I can see stranded here on this bullet hole ship we know that this is almost over someday soon these shark-filled waters'll close over us this ship's sinking and there's no way out like the Titanic but without a doubt we're going under tomorrow to sleep in the sea a million damn mistakes and now I can see

Dating a Flower Feels Very One-Sided 04:05
lyrics

I’ve been to the moon I’ve been to the stars with you But heaven knows you never Gave two cents about me I put all the work in while you just Sat there Smiling And never lifted a finger to stop me Running away I looked back but you had already moved on It’s like you didn’t even care at all And maybe You never did I guess you never did I opened my eyes And saw the whole world that I had built Come crashing down Among my deepest fears And all the things that I have lost And found and stumbled upon And blown to smithereens Where did we go Where did I go? Running away I looked back but you had already moved on It’s like you never cared at all And maybe you never did I guess you never did (I don’t care I don’t care But I do I care so much) (I guess you’ll never care I guess you’ll never care) I’ll never know why it is how it is But dating a flower feels very one-sided Running away I looked back but you had already moved on It’s like you never cared at all This is the day I wish I had never cared at all Oh, but I do I care so much for you But I guess you never cared for me At all.

This isn't just a song it's every ounce of life I have it's every bit of me channeled into one moment and if I didn't have this outlet I'd have been dead long ago like so many others this is all I know this song is all I know all I have it's my whole life it's all I speak all I breathe these words are the world to me sing along 'cause these words are the world to me this isn't just a song it's my life, it's my home it's all I have to fight off everything I deal with and if I didn't have this outlet I'd have been dead long ago like so many others this is all I know this song is all I know all I have it's my whole life it's all I speak all I breathe these words are the world to me sing along 'cause these words are the world to me this song is all I know all I have it's my whole life it's all I speak all I breathe these words are the world to me sing along 'cause these words are the world to me

Insomniac Dreaming 05:31
lyrics

Float by A dream Of possessive you and desired me Are you Make believe Or is my imagination reality? If once we thought we knew what we could see Then maybe everything was Just imaginary your thoughts of me were only in my head and I knew that all along Well fuck the world I’ll go out burning in a cloud of smoke and yearning for your touch every second of every moment of every lifetime. These dreams won’t stand still I gotta grab them and if I don’t I’ll never have them and I’ll never forgive myself for letting them turn to dust Nothing In between The injured you and the savior me the blood from my veins tastes of longing and pain Well fuck the world I’ll go out burning in a cloud of smoke and yearning for your touch every second of every moment of every lifetime. These dreams won’t stand still I gotta grab them and if I don’t I’ll never have them and I’ll never forgive myself for letting them all turn to dust Or would I because What if the world caught fire tonight? What if our dreams were the sparks that set it alight? What if the flames were the brightest of bright What if our love was the death of being alive And what if it was? Would you still hold me like you do in my dreams? Would you still tell me a whisper of a longing of a passion Like a fist in the air screaming in the quietest voice The truth even if it hurts Even if it cuts out my heart and I realize: Insomniac dreaming is the only way I’ve ever known you.
