Accelerate 02:24
Accelerate Don’t celebrate tonight ‘cause it’s goin’ to your head ‘though you’re feelin’ alright and And don’t accelerate the dawn ‘cause it’s already here And I’m already gone And don’t accelerate my heart When you know from the start You’re already, already gone And don’t accelerate my heart When you know from the start You’re already, already gone Why don’t you step into the light You got nothin’ left to fear And there’s no one here to fight Why don’t we break the cycle soon You got everything to gain And there’s no one left to loose And don’t accelerate my heart When you know from the start You’re already, already gone (2x) Don’t celebrate tonight ‘cause it’s goin’ to your head ‘though you’re feelin’ alright

Drama Queen 02:58
Drama Queen These synchronistic subtleties These dogs inside my head And the drama queens are singin’ Show them the way to door And those dark clouds outside forming are All in your head not in the way Show ‘em the wind show ‘em the way You broke your throat by talking down You blew out your ear drums For cryin’ out loud look at your face Look at your hands And if all those things you say are true Then I never meant that much to you Look at your face look at your hands This simplistic masterpiece These crumbs left on my bed And your cell phone won’t stop ringing Put it away you’re goin’ to waste And the coffee pot’s overflowin’ Show ‘em the wind show ‘em the way Doo doo doo doo doo doo ooh ooh ohh ooh You broke your throat by talking down You blew out your ear drums For cryin’ out loud look at your face Look at your hands And if all those things you say are true Then I never meant that much to you Look at your face we can tell were you’ve been

What's That 04:09
What’s That What’s that making you stay What’s that makin’ you go What’s that makin’ you smile Where’s that go after a while What’s that, what’s that, what’s that, what’s that What’s that takin’ your place What’s that fillin’ your space What’s that makin’ your bed What’s that fillin’ your head Can’t you see this violence inherent in me It’s been so long since I’ve taken things so seriously Ohhh Can’t you see this violence inherent in me It’s been so long since I’ve taken things so seriously Ohhh Violence breeds insecurity Breeds fits of selfish rage Be careful with what you wish for And more careful with what you say
8.
Promises 02:31
Promises These promises and promises These promises you made You make me think of all those times That I said alright okay And you want me to stay And you’re makin’ promises And you want me to stay But you still ain’t makin’ sense We sing this song goes on and on And I tried so hard so long These suicides that sat inside So say so long good bye And you want me to stay And you’re makin’ promises And you want me to stay But you still ain’t makin’ sense

Don’t Sweat It I wrote a message to Adam To let him know that I ain’t mad at him I called up my girl Kimya To tell her Kimya yeah yeah thanks again ya I wonder will there be stains on the carpet When he finally gets up off her No it’s not an offer to go a little softer She said I’m almost dead already I said if that’s the case I think I’d like to go steady I wrote this song just for her To let her know how much I used love and adore her I wanted to laugh at all our imperfections And how ugly that our kids would be But that ain’t me that ain’t who I’m gonna be But don’t sweat it I look up towards the future And there it is right in front of me It’s making fun of me It’s keeps pretending that we’re not all dead at the ending This is the ending This is not the ending But don’t worry the next band will be up in a minute They’ll have ya’ spinnin’ they’ll have ya’ grinnin’ ‘till ya’ go home and you drop the linen On the kitchen floor up against the door With her daddy watchin’ you Tellin’ you get her son Sayin’ you’re not the only one Sayin’ that’s why I can’t stand it That’s why I want to leave this planet But don’t sweat it

Drowning or Torture Ooh Sitting listening to this song And watch and you wait and You long to walk away These sentimental secrets linger on And you are And watch them wash away Down into the water You softly sink as you save someone And its down into the water These songs you sing You sing for everyone Ahhh And you say that it’s all in my head And I’d be better off dead I think I might have to wait Before your lips seal my fate
