ARE YOU SURE - WHAT YOU PUT ME IN?
THE MINDLESS CHATTER KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT
I CAN’T KEEP THIS RINGING OUT OF MY EARS
YEAH THE MINDLESS CHATTER
KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT
I CUT THE RIBBON
I PULLED THE TAPE BACK
WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME
WASN’T WHAT YOU DESERVED
I FEEL MYSELF FLOAT OFF THE WINDOWSILL
FILLING THE CRACKS AND ALL THE HOLES
CAN’T YOU SEE ME FROM DOWN THERE?
OUT OF MY EARS AND MY EYES
YEAH THE MINDLESS CHATTER
KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT
FILLING THE CRACKS AND ALL THE HOLES

I COULD’VE SWORN WHAT THEY WERE UP TO
WHAT THEY WERE
WHAT THEY WAS DOING TO YOU
I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH WAS WRONG WITH HER
I LET MYSELF GET AHEAD AGAIN
I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU IN AND OUT
I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
I THOUGHT I KNEW IT THROUGH AND THROUGH
I PLAYED THE GAME
AND I GOT BURNED
I GOT YOU PUT AWAY
I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU IN AND OUT
I’M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
I THOUGHT I KNEW IT THROUGH AND THROUGH

AM I STILL DOING MY PART?
AM I ENOUGH FOR YOU?
FEELS LIKE I’M NOT PULLING MY WEIGHT
CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME IN THERE?
DID YOU EVEN NOTICE? (I’M SURE YOU COULD)
JUST A BLACK HOLE ON YOUR SUNSHINE
I SWEAR I’M TURNING INTO
HATE TO KILL YOUR VIBE (I DON’T MEAN TO I SWEAR)
TURNING INTO A NAMELESS FACE WITHOUT A CAUSE
BECOMING IRRELEVANT A FACE IN THE CROWD
DID YOU EVEN NOTICE? WHY AM I LIKE THIS?
JUST IGNORE IT - CAN YOU EVEN HEAR
YOU DON’T KNOW THAT THAT’S ME IN THERE DO YOU?
I KNOW IT’S NOT
AM I STILL DOING MY PART?
AM I ENOUGH FOR YOU?
I SWEAR I’M TURNING INTO
I THINK I COULD GO
I THINK I COULD GO COMPLETELY MISSING

WISH I KNEW
WHAT I WAS SEEING
WISH I KNEW
WHAT I WAS SEEING
LOOKS LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD FROM HERE
AND I'M LOSING GROUND
TO THE CURRENT
AND I'M LOSING GROUND TO THE CURRENT
AND I'M LOSING GROUND TO THE BLAST WAVE
FLASHBANG GONE BLIND
COVER MY EYES
SEE RIGHT THROUGH 'EM
SEE THE BONE
LOST MY BALANCE CAN'T CONTROL- WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
WISH I KNEW WHAT I WAS SEEING

HEY MAN TAKE A LOOK AROUND
ARE YOU ENOUGH FOR HER?
CAN’T YOU SEE WHAT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?
PUT A MIRROR IN YOUR FACE
PUT YOU BACK IN YOUR PLACE
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING ANYMORE DO YOU?
HOW MANY TIMES DID I HAVE TO TELL YA?
GIVE ME MORE
GIVE ME YOURS
GIVE ME ALL I CAN ENDURE
TAKE ALL YOU CAN ENDURE (YOU CAN TRY)
ALL YOU CAN HEAR IS ME
IN YOUR HEAD
ALL YOU CAN HEAR
IS ME SCREAMING IN YOUR HEAD

MY ENTRAILS ARE SPILLING ON YOUR HEARTS
AND I CAN’T EVEN TELL YOU
HOW SORRY I AM FOR SCARING YOU LIKE THIS
JUST GO BACK TO THAT IDEA OF ME AND WHAT I WAS
THAT PICTURESQUE SCENE WHERE WE WERE ALL FRIENDS
LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH THE SHUTTER CLICKS
SIMPLE TIMES THAT WERE PICTURE PERFECT
AND EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT
I CAN’T BELIEVE I EVEN TOLD YOU THIS
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LET IT OUT
MY GUTS ARE SPILLED OUT ON THE FLOOR
IT WAS A SILLY THING TO YELL ABOUT
THAT PICTURESQUE SCENE WHERE WE WERE ALL FRIENDS
CAN’T EVEN TELL HOW SORRY I AM FOR SCARING YOU
JUST GO BACK TO THE IDEA OF ME
LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH THE SHUTTER CLICKS
SIMPLE TIMES THAT WERE PICTURE PERFECT
EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LET IT OUT

I AM DRAINED OF THE WARMTH
COHESION
PULLING ME AWAY
BARREN TREES LEFT TO BE BRANCHES
AN EMPTY SHELL
COMFORT IN ADMIRATION
I FEEL A WEIGHT
SILENCE AND NULL
I FEEL A WAVE
OF DREAD WASH OVER
PUSHING ME FURTHER AWAY
I CAN’T SEEM
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU
FEEL THE WAVE OF DREAD WASH OVER
