Hassles because if its very clever existence between, and so close to the boundaries of, other genres - many of which I posses no appreciation of. Have they established a new niche just for themselves? hmm, possibly. Regardless, they're terrific.

Fallback 02:34
Well it's not quite hell, they all call it heaven. In between is the space I was born to live in. I'll spend tonight in, bottle of Jack Keeps me tied to the ball and chain I'm sure I have We keep track of the damage done, Keep ticks on everyone Now this heart turns to stone I've got someone in every corner But I'm hateful I'm bored I'm a monster This was my fall back, but now I've fallen back down. Lay your head down next to me Tell me bout the girl you need I could use something new but when the day is done I guess I’ll, pretend that you're the only one for me I could call, but I'm tired of you Everything I've ever seen has always fallen through The cracks on the bedroom floor Now I’m pushing you out too We keep track of the damage done, Keep ticks on everyone Now this heart turns to stone I've got someone in every corner, But I'm hateful I'm bored I'm a monster This was my fall back, but now I've fallen back down. Lay your head down next to me Tell me bout the girl you need I could use something new but when the day is done I guess I’ll, pretend that you're the only one for me Now I've got a flat stomach And have great sex like the magazine's promise I've got pictures in my locket Of whiskey soaked lovers And the chains made out of promises I've got someone in every corner, But I'm hateful I'm bored I'm a monster This was my fall back, but now I've fallen back down. I've got someone in every corner, But I'm hateful I'm bored I'm a monster This was my fall back, but now I've fallen back down. Lay your head down next to me Tell me bout the girl you need I could use something new but when the day is done I could use something new but when the day is done I could use something new but when the day is done I guess I’ll, pretend that you're the only one for me

I’ve been beating the marks on my neck To keep pieces of you for the world Come on yellow, bring the dark blue back I’m not a lonely girl Still my legs don’t look quite the same When I walk you to your car Let me catch my breath dear what a shame We’re spending this time apart So are we just fucking, or is this something lovely? Or maybe this is heaven, as good as it gets. Sink back in this with me Where it feels like home not just a gamble And it smells like gin and condom wrappers And the only light comes from jesus candles Baby you left my faith in shambles We don’t believe But you still scream Oh my God I guess I’ll roll another cigarette Have a coffee while I wait up The marks left there on the side of my neck Are almost gone Still my legs don’t look quite the same When I walk you to your car Let me catch my breath dear what a shame We’re spending this time apart So are we just fucking, or is this something lovely? Or maybe this is heaven, as good as it gets. Sink back in this with me Where it feels like home not just a gamble And it smells like gin and condom wrappers And the only light comes from jesus candles Baby you left my faith in shambles We don’t believe But you still scream Oh my God

Echoes 04:18
He said “no I don’t believe in god” he said “girl, my family’s broken If I’m going to hell, They’ll be right there with me but my brother, well he’s gone And the night he said “hey kid I miss you so much” I didn’t pick up the phone And it’s burned in my head, everything I never told him I’d do it different if I had known So I bite my tongue until the blood starts to run He’ll never know. As the sun goes down I wonder if he’s out there but I’ll never know no no It echoes echoes echoes, but thinking doesn’t help It echoes echoes echoes, I think I lost myself He said “girl, the line’s been crossed baby and I cross my heart If I tell you those secrets were nothing to me. would you sit back, smile, pretend, agree? Got too personal since the moment I met you but I guess it’s good to talk storing stories away in my mind from those times since the day I lost my rock So I bite my tongue until the blood starts to run He’ll never know. As the sun goes down I wonder if he’s out there but I’ll never know no no It echoes echoes echoes, but thinking doesn’t help It echoes echoes echoes, I think I lost myself maybe there’s something in losing so much Maybe he figured it out Maybe I lost so much of me I'll never find myself So I bite my tongue until the blood starts to run He’ll never know. As the sun goes down I wonder if he’s out there but I’ll never know no no It echoes echoes echoes, but thinking doesn’t help It echoes echoes echoes, I think I lost myself

Cocaine 02:49
I’ll write you love notes with my nails on your shoulder blades If you’ll just listen, press your ears against into hipbones, babe Cause I only see you with my fingertips and tongue This is our golden ticket into the good life What is it without our vices Fast money, hard drugs and liquor What more do you need? And you can blame it on the cocaine Cause bad bitches be crazy I don’t even know your name baby, Fast money, hard drugs and liquor What more do you need? I’ll rescue you from the rhythm of your every day Let’s use our bodies to escape what we were raised for Wasted may not get us far enough And you can blame it on the cocaine Cause bad bitches be crazy I don’t even know your name baby, Fast money, hard drugs and liquor What more do you need?

Bones 02:18
My lungs turned into rocks and smoke In the years we tried to break through You keep a ring tight around my throat But I can’t keep a hold on you I can’t keep an engine running I just play musical chairs I don’t give a fuck about him But at least I turn his gears You’re my person and you fucking left me alone I put my all in you When I was down You were gone I’ll turn into stone Just reset my bones I'll have another shot I guess If it keeps you on your toes Pass me whatever you’re smoking If it keeps me senseless, that makes sense, then. I can’t keep an engine running I just play musical chairs I don’t give a fuck about him But at least I turn his gears You’re my person and you fucking left me alone I put my all in you When I was down You were gone I’ll turn into stone Just reset my bones

Wizard 03:32
Age before beauty Baby he’s in your head I’m far from dying Keep on spinning me round Keep me on till the end Age before beauty That's not how you should live We both know you're lying To yourself or to me But you get off on it Maybe we all have someone, but need to fill the space I’ll be your person, but that won’t make you stay So you’re off to see the wizard The wonderful wizard who beat me out I don’t want to talk about The one who won your heart And I can say god damn that wizard Just getting in the way But that dusty crooked smile of yours Tells me I’ve been on replay In your mind And your mine In the back of your mind You know you're mine The whole world makes progress Where do we fit in? To see, or say we gave it our best This is too easy Can this be it? Maybe we all have someone, but need to fill the space I’ll be your person, but that won’t make you stay So you’re off to see the wizard The wonderful wizard who beat me out I don’t want to talk about The one who won your heart And I can say god damn that wizard Just getting in the way But that dusty crooked smile of yours Tells me I’ve been on replay In your mind And your mine In the back of your mind You know you're mine It’s so easy to feel something we care nothing about Like your hands on him with my name in your mouth Maybe we all have someone but need to fill the space I’ll be your person, but that won’t make you stay So you’re off to see the wizard The wonderful wizard who beat me out I don’t want to talk about The one who won your heart And I can say god damn that wizard Just getting in the way But that dusty crooked smile of yours Tells me I’ve been on replay In your mind And your mine In the back of your mind You know you're mine

Happy 04:19
I can't find the pieces Telling where we went wrong But when you come home It still burns my lungs You're so happy But never talk to me I tried more than I could try For anything else But trying's a tired game And I just hurt myself You're so happy But never talk to me Now you're mad at your mom cause she said This would work out And I hate that she's wrong but we can't Go back now Break this house break me down You're done, I'm done now I can't go to Harvard Without thinking of you You had so much of me And ripped me from my roots You're so happy But never talk to me Now you're mad at your mom cause she said This would work out And I hate that she's wrong but we can't Go back now Break this house break me down You're done, I'm done now I still need you I still need you I want you to say I still need you I want you to say I still need you Cause I still need you

Handmade 03:55
I think I take after my mother But I exist to dismiss all resemblance Offer up a crooked answer But the gut wrenching guilt is endless Hold tight the life behind I aim to adore I can’t shake it Hold tight, baby, Hold tight. The house I painted in my dreams Is so far out of reach Hold tight This handmade hell Ain’t worth living for I want you to inhale my words At the end of the day it’s insignificant Ice in my veins, the scratch on a chalkboard I really can’t feel any difference Hold tight the life behind I aim to adore I can’t shake it Hold tight, baby, Hold tight. The house I painted in my dreams Is so far out of reach Hold tight This handmade hell Ain’t worth living for I had to get out Not much of a home anyhow The walls all stained with blame and doubt Heaven may be made of Cigarette daydreams The truth is I don’t care anymore This handmade hell Ain't worth living for
