1. I GET NERVOUS IN CARS

You said this time would be the last-
You said that it's over, you said that it's over.
You swore to me you'd put the bottle back down.
So many times I've tried to teach you
To keep you from loosing another one.

'Cause she can see right through all the excuses you feed her.
And I know that I can't find any kind of definition-
'Cause you seem so dead to me, so dead to me
Do you still ask yourself: "Will they remember me?"
Do you still ask yourself: "Why do I even try?"

'Cause we'd die fighting to keep you alive.
You said so softly to me once, while waiting for her:
"You've got so much.
Oh, you know, son, you've got the world on your shoulders.
So carry me home."

But I know it won't change.
No.
It won't go away.
(And I can't bare to watch you do this to yourself another time)

You said that it's over, you said that it's over.
You swore to me you'd never lie to her
So many times I've tried to teach you
To keep you from loosing her again.

You seem so dead to me.


2. ANNIVERSARY

A: "I hope that when you get home the things that we've said are still gonna be said.
Even though we both know our mouths have tendencies to hold back."

B: "I just want you to know that I've tried so hard to explain myself this time.
There's no easy way for me to say what I am, what I'm thinking or what I'm feeling so
forgive me for these actions but the accusations are correct."

So my dear
(Goodnight goodbye)
And it fell
And they pulled his words like her limbs from the rubble
Oh they crushed like lovers fit for battle
And they held a fourth floor burial in her name
And then the rain created rhythms to comfort all the bodies
To wash away her story
And they fell
But the pictures proved to show it all
As her cry dies out along with
The oath they swore would never fall
What I'm thinking or what I'm feeling so
Forgive me for these actions but the accusations are correct
Her cry dies out with the covenant they swore would never fall apart


3. HEAVENS TO BETSY

Let's run like kids at play, hold our breath
Until our hearts stop beating, hearts stop beating.

Let my last breath be something I hold dear
Let my last thought, last breath, be something I hold…

God damn!

Something I hold to myself
Kept locked away inside
I tried my best
But is it enough

I tried my best, is it enough
I tried my best

Hold your breath, is it enough?


4. REANIMATED

I, I dug a hole
Fit for a queen
But she, she bore a tunnel
Through the back of my head

Now we'll see who's coming back
I through there is no coming back
Spitting blood and seeing black
That is what is coming back

She raises from black velvet
She knows her sacrifice has failed
The bride steps into the hallway
I feel a reckoning is in order

Strike her down
