Sometimes our fingers speak louder than words Aggravates illness and passes through spit I can see right through the back of your head clearly It's right, it's wrong, it's right Maybe it's wrong, it can't be right Dear God, I think they're right How long before this dies? We'll count the numbers, we'll just forget We've learned to fail, embraced regret That's not an honest answer and we don't wish it was Sharpened sticks, passing hands, aimed at hearts passing through Straight through my heart Pass my way Straight through my heart Pass my way Straight through my heart Sometimes our fingers speak louder than words Sometimes these wires pass right through the nerves If my heart swelled from my chest do you feed it glass or another kiss? We'll go on for days, for months For years forever You'll break my heart If we count on each other over someone else's shoulder The way we do when people become numbers Am I a one, a two, a three, four Five or six, seven or an eight?

Say something and let it go More lines for crossing over everyday It feels so good to let it go Saves me from the thoughts inside my head Feels like the things we say Gives them the words to choke on The things we say will never make them love you Say something and let it go More lines for crossing over everyday It feels so, feel good to let it go Saves me from the thoughts inside my head Feels like the things we say Gives them the words to choke on The things we say will never make them love you Like heat I rise Softest words ever spoke Aimed like a gun at the back of my throat Softest words ever spoke Aimed like a gun at the back of my throat You said it anyway I can hear them in the back, I can hear them in the hall I can hear them when they say anything at all It sounds like tiny records trapped inside the grooves When I try to turn it over I can feel the whole place move It's what I did, it's what I said It just a way for us to all wind up dead Don't try too hard at all to make me hate you Don't try too hard at all to make me hate you Don't try too hard at all to make me hate you Don't try too hard at all to make me hate you Does it feel good? I've got friends that would die for me Some might just kill who's next My guess is you, you fucking sellout

I'd rather be your coffin than your pillow Because we press through flesh We break the skin We push back through the skin We chew through what we're in We'll tear this place apart We'll piss inside your heart We'll hit you where you live We'll get under the skin We'll tear this place apart We'll piss inside your heart We'll push, we'll shove Put smokes out on your rug We hit you where you live We'll get under the skin Once in 40 seconds, be done in 45 This is what we're reduced to just to stay alive Once in 40 seconds be done in 45 Tonight we're coming back and we don't care who we hurt We'll shovel by the mouthful 'til they're covered up with dirt This is where we live, our favorite place to bleed Stitched in any closer we'd be sewed into the sleeve Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Will you watch me? Will you watch me? Once in 40 seconds, be done in 45 This is what we're reduced to just to stay alive Once in 40 seconds, be done in 45 Tonight we're coming back and we don't care who we hurt We'll shovel by the mouthful 'til they're covered up with dirt This is where we live, our favorite place to bleed Stitched in any closer we'd be sewed into the sleeve Tonight we're coming back and we don't care who we hurt We'll shovel by the mouthful 'til they're covered up with dirt This is where we live, our favorite place to bleed Stitched in any closer we'd be sewed into the sleeve I'm the guy who lives next door Lone up cans and shoots at the floor Pictures of guns and girls under this bed We don't care 'cause baby we're all— Baby, we're all dead Baby, we're all— Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in Still stuck to the skin Same place that we're in

We're starting over Reset and counting down Now two keys are turning from stations underground If we made you feel this, would it be seen as an attack? What once we were receiving, tonight we're sending back We are appearances We are deceiving All switches on We are receiving Stilts built on emotion where logic used to stand Will delete all traces with one sweep of the hand If we made you feel this, would it be seen as an attack? What once we were receiving, tonight we're sending back We are appearances We are deceiving All switches on We are receiving Systems go All engaged with switches on Seems so So surprised it still turns on Systems go All engaged with switches on Seems so So surprised it still turns on Died for your dials Your circuits burning When we are ruled by our emotions We approach our crimes with renewed devotion And tell me Can you feel it when your code is breaking? Cut off the line Fell off the grid Now we're free, yeah we're free Cut off the line Fell off the grid Now we're free, yeah we're free Yeah we're free, yeah we're free You never had me You just wish that you did You never had me You just wish that you did You never had me You just wish that you did You wish you did

To sink so high Desperate emanations Lamp light in the eye Held your heart Fingers in the cavity All alone In the dark alone We'll sail away Alone We'll sink so high You're holding back again You said you wouldn't You're holding back again You said you wouldn't Don't say anything Don't say anything Even if it's killing you Don't say anything Sink so high, sail so low Sink so high, sail so low Tell me what I said Tell me what to say Bombs, a heart is breaking Watch it all blow away I called seven times Said you're not at home I can see the lights on They said They lied Tonight we'll say it second Tonight we'll say it slow Tonight we'll say anything, anything at all At all Anything at all I called seven times Said you're not at home I can't take it back I can't take it now Fell from the sky Rain falling down Rain came falling down and down Down from the sky

Tell me can you see these tears in my eyes Are there cameras picking up the dying inside? Needles last night, did they stitch or did they stab? As long as we look good, it can't be all bad Don't say you love me with pins in your mouth Tell me I'm beautiful, it's a beautiful lie Tell me I'm beautiful, it's a beautiful lie Tell me can you see these tears in my eyes Are there cameras picking up the dying inside? Needles last night, did they stitch or did they stab? As long as we look good, it can't be all bad Don't say you love me with pins in your mouth They'll take it in, but they can't take it back Things that we say as ugly as that We'll take it in, but they can't take it back These hearts on the sleeve come straight off the rack Don't wear this out for anyone but me Don't take it in, they can't take it back Things that we say as ugly as that They'll take it in, they can't take it back These hearts on the sleeve come straight off the rack Don't wear this out for anyone but me Don't look down, no matter what you do Still can't face those fucking shoes When we look in mirrors This doesn't fit right Nothing looks good This doesn't fit right Nothing looks good on me tonight Next time you tell me I'm beautiful, I'll know its a lie Next time you say you love me Let's hope it looks as good as it sounds

Those who are chosen do not ask why If they ask, say we don't care You're not here, we're glad you're there We've still got our eyes in back If they ask, we didn't ask We just want our bullets back We'll stand on line to watch you die Historically oppressed Repeatedly marginalized Made to stand on stupid lines Back rooms and detention halls Think of all the lives you'd save Your corner offices, freshly painted interiors Every last one will become your mass graves Say something, anything at all Say something, anything at all Say something, anything at all Say it, say it If I was you, and I'm glad I'm not All they'd hear is one gun shot If I was you, and I'm glad I'm not All they'd hear is one gun shot Born to break even We're taking over Weak-willed Dedicated sinners God knows, God loves a good winner

I don't know why I know where the pieces go Suddenly everything makes so much sense We lay our backs across your fence Feels like I'm almost human Each gesture nearly commands respect With ringing ears and wringing necks We'll hit the ground With scattered shots We'll tie your lungs in miles of knots We'll close your eyes (We'll close your eyes) (We'll close your eyes) (We'll close your eyes) (We'll close your eyes) Bricks and boards are not enough Bricks and boards are not enough Bricks and boards are not enough Not even close It's not enough Right through your doors at night (Through!) Right through your doors at night It's a quality not often appreciated Seldom admired, held to bare bulbs But we'll see it through Short breaths Stabbing sighs After all these years, still afraid to die Short breaths Stabbing sighs After all these years, still afraid to die Crush Your Crush— Crush your small sense of security Grinding it out underneath The cheapest pair of shoes I own
