The Now 02:12
Live in the now try to control yourself But this is not a dance This is a cry for help Days are just equations Learning the angles Logic suffocates, sentiment strangles But why not be okay whatever happens? Why not be okay? Struggle, adapt Death, though not your friend, is not the real enemy Dress up, play pretend Be a true Kennedy Cope until it's copacetic cope until it's copacetic, but... WHY NOT BE OKAY
2.
Club Silence 02:46
There are two people wearing my skin I'll meet you at Club Silence Your kindness is suspicious Your innocence is beautiful I'll be wearing my blonde wig and pushing with the pull It's time to wake the baby Who's got that phone? It just keeps ringing It just keeps on We've found the end How shall we begin? I can't wait to give you nightmares.
3.
A ticker-tape parade going nowhere I spent my nights at rest on a pedestal You talked me into coming down I hear a sound like air escaping Everything goes to hell You gave me something for the pain You sold me a cell You think that you know yourself Think people are evil You think that there's nothing left of us? Just wait for the sequel Have no patience? Have no fear Who do you think I am? (Lessons, asked and answered questions) I got a request for when you forget me: forget everything. There's blood everywhere.

See The Dead 03:18
You better tell your friends The party's almost over And when it ends, something new begins Go into it headlong Headlong The circles where we swim Where we disturb the surface The depths are open, spoken, unspoken Making me nervous No one's fit to carry my cross I'm a liar, I'm a lie, I'm a total loss. Wanna dance? You're so, you're so faded You're so, you're so fine it breaks my heart You're so, you're so lovely locked up, left behind in the dark You wanna see the dead? They're just here in the kitchen. They can be helpful when they're not too busy burning.
5.
Spit 03:30
You'll go through the windshield or into the dashboard Some idiot up and pulled the ripcord He's grinning, so happy he could spit (spit!) We learned every lesson except how to fight this He's grinning, so happy he could spit But there's always next November 5th They're shaking cold hands and talking in whispers Don't wanna end up like your brothers and sisters You were so many, and now...

Just minutes to air Hope the Taken are takin' care And let's keep that shine on the surface Cuz what's underneath makes me nervous Sandy's at the scene, putting personal feelings aside Sandy, tell us: what's happening? The mood at the station is tense, Since the prophets of doom are the ones making sense. Aha We love surprises We've taken the bait Uncovered the truth too late... But you said it best when you stopped asking questions Stopped making sense Sandy's at the scene Dismayed, narrating disgrace 'til her feed's interrupted "Baby, are those tears just from the tear gas? And could it be safe to slow down so fast?" But you said it best when you stopped asking questions Stopped taking notes That's how it goes It exists in a vacuum It sleeps in your guest room It makes people so The end is in sight I welcome it. One more knife fight and it's over with.
8.
No Right 02:09
Your DVDs will sit forever in a stack Your TV will play static to no one Someone will take your place in traffic on MoPac Part of the work that's never done You got no right, you got no right Their words could touch you if you weren't so out of reach Admonitions such as "think of the children" They'll be so angry for so long at this mystery Until one day they understand: No one's been lonely for as long as us.
9.
You used to be cool, now you're just cold just trying to be good for something Been fighting this since you were five years old I'm in your nightmares; oh what a shame but there's enough blame for everyone. Making the wrong moves in the right game The pleasure center The end is merciful You're free to expect whatever You have your good days You take your medicine You leave enough unsaid Well, very well. Your sentences spool out Calling your friends Telling your side But the truth is there's nothing you need to defend. And I'm in your nightmares, I'm in your dreams and it's just what it seems. It's getting so hard just to say the right things. The water's so clear Speaking of clarity, I think I see the bottom You're branching out now You're breaking character So show me something
10.
New enemies taking shape They're stopping at nothing There will be wolves, wearing your clothes Smiling at you so prettily Don't let your dreams out on the phone No one can know Keep losing ground Never get back what we've given away Never get hurt quite the same Time to shine, time to find a miracle cure Real heroes, they don't wear capes they blow up your news feed And you were so green, so innocent, letting them catch you meddling. Blind as a bat Dumb as a stone No one goes home
11.
Everything you do is a drug, if you do it wrong and do it often enough It's gonna save you from the farther reaches of hell Help you finally learn to just be yourself Until it starts getting less and less effective I guess you need more more more Separate yourself from the pack Keep your knees up So you'll never have to go back Find the cutest girl in your class Get her number, cuz she would rather answer than ask Don't tell her That she'll always need to be prepared to deliver you more more more more You need your head shrunk You're falling down the stairs You did too much You're falling down the... You need your head shrunk You're falling down the stairs Just one last one? Don't be, don't be scared Oh, to form no attachments To need nothing but air Oh, to live as a pinpoint and shrink 'til nothing's there.
