Marionette 03:37
(Verse 1) So let's start from the beginning From the first date, you were all dressed up We didn’t take it slowly We dove in head first into this game called love Driving through the city with no plans Found a seat underneath that willow tree Three words shared for the first time For me that’s just a distant memory (Pre Chorus) But for the first time I think I feel okay Because you're not here Because you're not in my head Because you're not feeding me your lies Because I want you gone (Chorus) You threw words with no resistance You stabbed my back to go the distance All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead Cuz I can’t live with this existence You made up words, yeah you’re persistent All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead (Verse 2) My life became a game You said, “Talk to me, stay with me They're not worth your time anyway” I guess I didn't need them either way Lost my friends, had no one to turn to I was charmed by your constant lies Your possession at my discretion Too naive, I’m like your puppet And you’re pulling the strings (Chorus) You threw words with no resistance Stabbed my back to go the distance All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead Cuz I can’t live with this existence You made up words, yeah you’re persistent All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead (Bridge) All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead (Final Chorus) You threw words with no resistance You stabbed my back to go the distance All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead Cuz I can’t live with this existence You made up words, yeah you’re persistent All for things I've never said I'd rather be caught dead But now it's over, I lay here broken I scream my lungs out with words unspoken I wish I'd never met you And I miss the feeling of being happy You weren't worth my time anyway No longer trapped by your old mind games You took me for granted I'll never be your toy again What

Headway 03:37
(Verse) I'm making headway I think I'm in the right place finding the right headspace But I've got one problem It seems I'm still stuck on my past And lately I've been slowing down It's just my mind that's starting to go numb Im hoping I can find the reason why Things never seem to go as expected (Prechorus) I'll stop the world just let it burn (Chorus) But I've been making progress And I think I got it figured out Good things always come to an end it's a thought that never lets me down No happy ever after Numb my pain with laughter This story isn't perfect but I’m filling out the pages of my book in different stages than yours It's a thought that never lets me down (Verse) For now I think I'll take a step back Can’t see the forest for the trees But everytime I think i get it down Life throws it back at me And I think I'm going insane, with all these pages But the ink is blurring the lines, can't seem to walk straight And about that story we wrote, that thing was bullshit Maybe next time we can figure this out (Chorus) (Bridge) I'll stop the world just let it burn Cause I'm holding on too long Na na na na na na na (x4) (Chorus)

(Verse) My room is a mess My life isn't much better I've started to obsess With the things that don't even matter As I progress I live with regret Can’t seem to find my place I’ve been wasting my whole life away (Prechorus) Doo Doo Doo (Chorus) The pressure builds up And then it blows You get shown up And then you know This life that you’re living in Is one sad story that'll never end, and I Can’t say, that I’ll never leave Cuz it’s my life, that's the way it goes And I can’t pretend, I’m invisible (whoa) (Verse 2) I thought that I’d get well, too bad I’m living in this hollow shell I can’t help when I’m running on empty And the way that I’ve been feeling, it’s the thought that keeps me reeling You can’t help, when I’m already sinking (Chorus) (Bridge) Invisible Blegh My room is a mess My life isn't much better I've started to obsess With the things that don't even matter (Chorus)

Circles 03:03
(Intro) I heard that you stole my heart The other night you just tore it apart and I Slept away all my feelings and doubts But woke up sweating and I almost blacked out (×2) (Chorus) It started to get under my skin The way you left; you took off I watched you go and I pulled the pin The blood that was boiling came pouring out But now it's out in the open We said it all; can't take it back Tore me down but I got rid of the doubt and self-loathing, I'm already hoping (Verse 1) Sixty seconds from coming around again And the thought of being with you just settles in And then I’m falling for you all over and over again Same shit, it’s a different day I'm in the dead of winter can’t wait for spring to start again The bright rays of sunlight turn quickly to chilly winds (Chorus) (Bridge) I'm tongue tied and horrified of the things that I might say But keeping my mouth shut is what got us all here in the first place (Got us all here in the first place)

Meant To Be 02:59
(Verse 1) I’ve been stuck trying to put it all together Keeping my head on straight Making sense of all this noise So I can find a better place I’ve been stuck trying to write this fucking song But I give up every time That’s why I’ll never get anywhere I'll never get anywhere (Chorus) Just make up a lie and Keep on wasting all my precious time And I would hope you won't keep Fucking up this life of mine I'm not gonna clear the air again For the hundredth time I’ve found what I love Not giving it up Can't change who I'm meant to be (Post Chorus) And I'll take my time so I can find my way With my reckless nature and my stressed out brain (Verse 2) Slow down, this pipe dream of yours won’t take you far Imagine, if you put those skills to better use Time and time again, you never listen (yeah) That’s why you’ll never get anywhere You’ll never get anywhere (Chorus) (Bridge) And I'll take my time so I can find my way With my reckless nature and my stressed out brain x2 (Chorus) x2

(Intro) I spent my time away from home Wondering if i've been better Cuz in your eyes I can see true fear Of the person i used to be (Verse 1) But please don't go away Cuz i can't stand to see you feel so bad All alone and so afraid Cuz your life is a downward spiral And my actions always make things worse Too bad i thought i could help Cuz now you're gone and now i'm on my own Cuz now you're gone and i'm alone (Verse 2) Be honest You were my counterweight Let it out, you were my everything The part that always kept me sane It was our future to rein And i think i'm going insane but At least in 50 years I'll probably see your face again See your face again, probably for nothing The way you left you took off I'll stop the world, just let it burn I can’t help, when I'm running on empty Too naive, I’m like your puppet And you’re pulling the strings (and you were my counterweight) ×after each line×
