I’ve got a mouthful of daggers But they sit on the tip of my tongue I cringe you pull the trigger Your name is like a loaded gun And it don’t matter what we do Give you compassion or attitude Feel like a failure, I can’t get through Getting caught in your feedback loop And you’re trying to do better But there’s a dark spot on the sun You’re up against a wall When all you wanna do is run And it don’t matter what we do Give you compassion or attitude Feel like a failure, I can’t get through Getting caught in your feedback loop

City Limits 02:20
We’re wander lusting We’re dreaming of escape We are transient people But crave a home to make We work so hard That we’re barely living We walk so far before city limits These crowded streets are Surrounded by Millions of people Who never wonder why? Or want to try We work so hard That we’re barely living We walk so far before city limits
3.
Edge 01:45
I can’t stand up straight or be too loud I will apologize for acting up and acting out there aint nothing left you make me feel so sick there aint nothing left so every day I clench my fists you are recognized as you take a bow everybody watches you no one notices when shes not around
4.
At Bay 03:23
Get me out of here I'm drowning in a sea of pictures All I know about the friends I make Is that they never stick around All I know about this place Is it will always bring you down Bring you down Keep me at bay No I don't want to know your name I'm sick of seeing you go We'll listen to the dead poet sing over beer and ale We'll scream into the night like no ones there This old bar has seen enough of my money I'm tired of sleeping, I just get lonely So baby, let's stay awake And the sun will rise Keep me at bay No I don't want to know your name I'm sick of seeing you go
5.
The Tug 01:51
Sometimes feeling explode into lots of tiny pieces That penetrate your heart and all your inside spaces Sometimes I feel alone like I’m without a spark Sometimes I get real scared and don’t know how to start To speak to anyone To leave for anywhere To learn to love without The tug of all my fears Most of the time I don’t go to bed to sleep But to take off my mind from the darkest deepest Thoughts I have been putting off A siren in my head A loneliness that speaks to me so often that I dread To speak to anyone To leave for anywhere To learn to love without The tug of all my fears
6.
I miss you even though you live right down the street Every time I leave my house I get so lost in cracks between There’s static on the phone lines No way to reach There’s static on the phone lines And I can’t breath We chase down time to waste it With none left to spare Misdirected, anxious Grasping for air I miss you Every time you leave I get so caught on what’s going on inside of me There’s static on the phone lines No way to reach There’s static on the phone lines You hang up because you can’t hear me We take no time to make it Got none to spare Misdirected, anxious Grasping for air But you’re not there
7.
Nice to Know 02:16
It’s nice to know the curve of your body The cracks and lines The way your shoulders sit when you say your sorry You’ve got a scar across your chest But it aint from a heart break We don’t look right They look twice We don’t look right They look at us twice Every September I’m holding my breath and crossing my fingers There’s a chill in the air behind our backs What’s gunna happen to us this winter? I wanna hold you close to my chest But there’s been a mark made I’m scared of the heart break We don’t look right They look twice We don’t look right They look at us twice
8.
The spaces where we live are in small places The cracks in between their dirty and broken and not so cheap We lay in your bed awake Listen to the radio Left of the dial Slow and sweet A song that we don't know We laugh at talks of our futures Because they don't look bright We barely have the stars at night to guide us home And nowhere to go I am high energy You call me A.D.D. Self diagnose and sedate Taking the edge off the days We fall asleep in your bed Dreaming of faraway places I've got you caught in my head Somewhere warm and green Where we both can breathe We laugh at talks of our futures Because they don't look bright We barely have the stars at night to guide us home And nowhere to go
9.
Your eyes are overflowing This cities rapidly outgrowing You’re tired I’m feeling worn out We’re overextended and underwhelmed And we need somewhere to go And we’re overgrown Our roots get tangled, our braches bow There’s a weight pressing down I can’t breath Overshadowed And we need somewhere to go
10.
Looking Back 03:06
The tides are against us The moon is bright I can feel a hunger build and bite Are you laughing yet? Are you looking back At all the pretty picture The dust collects Are you laughing yet Are you looking back? Who can we blame? I am scared to death, I am running in place We bend and break, the rules we make Are you laughing yet? Are you looking back At all the pretty picture The dust collects Are you laughing yet Are you looking back?
