Beautiful Day
02:43
|

LYRICS:
The sky is so grey it makes everything glow
And the people are angels: you can see their halos
And it makes your chin numb, the way the wind blows
And all I want’s a warm cheek to hide my cold nose
It’s a beautiful day, a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
For a suicide
Everyone laughs cuz there’s love in their life
While the city burns red with the glow of tail lights
And if this is God’s plan He must want me to die
So I’m saying these prayers for my own self tonight
It’s a beautiful day, a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
To be alive
It’s a beautiful day
A f***ing glorious day
F*** this beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day, a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day…

Suicide City
02:54
|
|||
LYRICS:
If you feel lost, keep on going
You are not alone
Don’t let this suicide city get you down
(I know it feels)
Every day gets a little bit harder
Every day gets a little bit worse
Every day is a f***ed up competition
The winner’s the one who gets to die first
Sometimes to you feel like a stranger
That every hope is danger
That nothing will destroy the anger
It feels like love is a cancer
A question with no answer
Good intentions, empty banter
But all your friends, merrymakers,
A pretty bunch of fakers,
Say that you’ll feel better later
They say that time is a healer
Love is the revealer
Hand out advice like they’re some dealer
(But they don’t know)
Every day gets a little bit harder
Every day gets a little bit worse
Every day is a f***ed up competition:
The winner's the one who gets to die first
If you feel lost, keep on going
You are not alone
Don't let this suicide city get you down
Sometimes you can't stop the crying
I’ll stay right by your side
Don't let this suicide city get you down
(I know it feels...)
Every day gets a little bit harder
Every day gets a little bit worse
Every day is a f***ed up competition:
The winner's the one who gets to die first
(You're not alone)
Every day gets a little bit harder
Every day (la la la la la la)
Every day: feel a little more f***ed up
(whoa-oa-oa-oh, whoa-oa-oa-oa)
(I know it feels...)
Every day stage another disaster
But we never really get to rehearse
Every day take a DEEP BREATH
Don't let this suicide city get you down
Every morning TAKE A BREATH AND SAY:
“Won’t let this suicide city get me down”

Exit Strategy
02:10
|
|||
LYRICS:
If I lose my mind again this week
You’re gonna see my body out in the street
You’re gonna see a bunch of passers-by
With a hand to their face to shield their eyes
I don’t know why I feel this way
But each time I do I get more afraid
I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with me
I don’t trust your pills to bring relief
I could use a truth to set me free
Cuz I don’t trust your f***ing therapy
If I tell you something secretly
Could you keep it between you and me
When the innocent are murdered in our streets
I sometimes wish it would happen to me
But there’s people murdered every year
And no one’s taking volunteers
I see, I see / The future in front of me
I got, I got / My exit strategy
I see, I see / The future in front of me
I got, I got / My exit strategy
No more, No more / I can’t believe it
So long, So long / I was just leaving
No more, No more / I can’t believe it
So long, So long / I was just leaving
If I lose my mind again this week
If I lose my mind again this week
If I lose my mind again this week

I Don't Feel Any Better
03:40
|

LYRICS:
Everybody says that I should feel better
I don’t feel any better
It’s a non-stop every day / Never gonna fade away
Everybody says the thing to remember
This feeling isn’t forever
Breathe in deep and count to ten / If nothing changes try again
But I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on-on-on
All my friends get to go on vacation
While I get new medication
Still my shrink is tellin’ me / This’ll pass, just wait and see
This therapy is teaching me lots of new skills
But I feel at a standstill
‘Cause if my situation don’t improve / Is it really any use?
But I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on-on-on
I thought I’d write it all down in a letter
I don’t feel any better
Every morning when I rise / I’m disappointed I’m alive
Everybody says I should feel better
I don’t feel any better
It’s a non-stop every day / Never gonna fade away
But I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on
I can feel it comin’ on-on-on

LYRICS:
I broke the windshield of your car.
Whatcha doin out in this neighborhood after dark?
I wonder who this new guy is and where his car is parked,
Cuz you can’t hurt me now.
We broke up, oh, two months ago.
I threw a party, you’re the only one who didn’t know.
Wrote some bitter songs and then put on a little show,
Cuz you can’t hurt me now .
Just try and hurt me, baby

Countdown
03:52

LYRICS:
I might die / And I might break
Who knows how much more I can take
Of you
And all the s*** you do
I might die / And I might break
Who knows how much more I can take
Of this
Without a single kiss
Next time you hang up on me and say that you’ll call back
Please specify / Cuz the hours are passing by
Generally, a person means real soon and not five days
And I’ll take the bet / That you didn’t just forget
Maybe your screwing with my head, knowing I won’t react
I hate being used / And I sure as hell don’t like abuse
I hope that this mistreatment’s a crazy little phase
But tell me what can I expect? / When your head is just a wreck
And I wait for you to call me
And I wait for you to call me
And I wait for you to call me
And I wait for you to call, call me
I might die / And I might break
Who knows how much more I can take
Before I break down, I break down
I might die / And I might break
Who knows how much more I can take
Before I break down, I break down
And screaming is the only sound I hear
And I all I taste is tears
And I’m not getting anything out of me and you
When there isn’t any me and you
But everyone swears to God there’s a me and you
I wonder who sees it less now, me or you?
I might die / And I might break
Who knows how much more I can take
Before I break down, I break down
And screaming is the only sound I hear
And I all I taste is tears

LYRICS:
I wanna leave something...like the Brooklyn Bridge behind
So the night I jump off...I’ll chain up my bike
Feeling nothing...is worse than feeling bad
As a kid I drew maps....Now all I draw’s a blank
The Tentacles are pulling
They’re wrapped around me tight
The Cycling and the worries
“To do” lists in my mind
I need to find an Anchor...so I can be okay
I’m sitting in a Psych Ward
And I still feel out of place
I called the hotline...they told me to come here
I signed some papers...their meaning not quite clear
Yeah, there’s pressure...but others have that, too
So I can’t be here...I got too many things to do
The Tentacles are pulling
They’re wrapped around me tight
The Cycling and the worries
“To do” lists in my mind
I need to find an Anchor...so I can be okay
I’m sitting in a Psych Ward
And I still feel out of place
At night I’d lie awake...in here I fall asleep
My stomach always fought me...but now it lets me eat
When I tried to do my work...I’d always freak out first
Hung out with my friends...now I see they made it worse
I’m told that life is managed, not something that gets cured
There’s a girl here with me...cuts are on her face
They called her pretty...so she took it away
But she’s not crazy...No, she’s a lot like me
We got so caught up...in what we think we’re s’posed to be
(Instead of who we are)
I’ve been drawing maps
Like I did when I’s a kid
The grids have turned to people
With intersections in their heads
My favorite is a couple...two islands set apart
With a bridge to link their minds, yeah
Roads lead to their hearts
And I know you’re not an Anchor...just let me make that clear
But could I have your number, Noelle...
For the day we’re out of here?

Ice & Age

LYRICS:
I grab a coat
And I bundle up
Just like any other day
But since spring gave way
To the summer months
You know my patience had to fade
Watch another sun
Cross another sky
But I cannot feel its rays
Add another layer
Wrap my blanket tight
And roll over, hibernate
My scarf and gloves have become my closest friends
See my breath and wonder, “Will this winter ever end?”
Since the heat turned off
I’ve been taking walks
To feel the blood flow in my veins
Pass open toes
And the short-sleeve set
And pull the hood to hide my face
Flip another page
For another month
Never felt so grey
Watch the beaches fill
And the clothing shed
While my climate stays the same
Soon the autumn leaves promise frost will come again
Still, the ground will thaw, while my winter never ends
And I wonder, “Will this winter ever end?”
And I wonder, “Will this winter ever end?”
And I wonder, “Will this winter ever end?”
Watch the seasons change
On this tilted earth
Try to disengage
Just another day
And another year
And my ever-slowing pace
