Track Name: A Most Pleasant Apocalypse
I wouldn't miss this for the world
But I might be a little late
I have a hard time getting out of bed these days
You probably noticed

Thanks for saving me a seat
I'm so happy I am able to sit comfortably
I'll try not to move and if I do I'm truly sorry
Please excuse me

The lights start to dim and the apocalypse begins
Hell will make a cameo appearance
What you did was bad but what your neighbors did was worse
Now we're all swimming towards the end of the world

Went once or twice to the DMV
This is really nothing compared to that
The headless horseman don't even need a license
And their f'ing headless

Fire and brimstone are raining down
I needed to go and get new wipers anyway
This used car looked like new now it's a flaming ball of goo
I'm concerned if this is covered by my insurance
Cause all I have is minimum coverage

Bring extra floaties...you'll probably need them
Track Name: Streetlights
A million times a day
When your mind drifts away
Do you find it conversing with me

In a windowless room
Or confessional booth
Or in the alley off some unmarked street

Your self-induced crises
As scheduled arrive
And everyone has stopped rushing to help

Now the stars only shoot
When you're passed out some nights
You keep returning with hopes to feel well

When you sat
By the tides of regret
And they rose over you
And they salted your breath

Each night
Changed all your plans
And when they touched your skin
All the streetlights turned red

Uttered many times before
When you cried and you swore
And you promised the things you knew I'd believe

With all the weight of the world
On such a beautiful girl
Somehow you still take pity on me
Track Name: Fire
I suppose sometimes, it's just too hot to burn
And other times we can't put it out
Through the flames, I can't see the whites of your eyes
Or reach to touch the curves of your mouth

If I yell fire would you come
If I yelled fire would you come and save me

Every action screams for a chance to react
Or at least a chance to prove that it's intense
There's nothing left to indicate the force of the impact
And all that they can prove is circumstance

If I yell fire would you come
If I yelled fire would you come and save me

Sirens seem to cut the air, as we refuse to escape
We're unconvinced that they have come for us
We'll continue fanning all the flames we create
And they'll smolder till the ashes turn to dust

If I yell fire would you come
If I yelled fire would you come and save me
Track Name: Your Name Here
Bend at the hip
Cause this might be it
Sometimes we laugh
Til we cry

When laid out before us
We'll rework the chorus
There's time for one more
Song tonight

You said
Everything I had been
Thinking
At almost exactly the
Second
That it had come to my mind
Our love just does that sometimes

Stranger than fiction
We black out the friction
There is no question
It's right

Articulating
This bond we've created
Seeing my world in
Your eyes
Track Name: Guilt
I was on the firing line
Because it paid well
The hours were manageable
They bought all the shells

Could never tell if I was the one
That made those men fall
I guess that's why they designed it that way
To feel no guilt at all

People would write to me about love
Or why they were alone
I'd answer them anonymously
And make up what I didn't know

I never took the advice that I gave
Because it made me feel small
I always seemed to chase away love
Now I feel no guilt at all

I've always remained a tepid soul
Uncomfortable in my own skin
Thousands of thoughts swimming endlessly
With no idea where they begin

One of these days I'll reach into myself
And use words to tear down this wall
I'll say all the things I've needed to say
And I will feel no guilt at all
Track Name: Counting Backwards
All of the rocket ships that you've constructed
Await your command to takeoff
Search for the courage to try and count backwards
Close your eyes when they lift off

The silver lining in the clouds
Never seems to wash out
Even when it rains
Even when it rains

The sensation of floating is not like you planned it
Feels more like your first time in love
With the world in your window you still don't understand it
Nor the parts that your soul is made of

Even when man was on the moon
He couldn't wait to come home soon
So he could feel it rain
So he could feel it rain

Track Name: Too Drunk
I hope I get too drunk to cry
I hope I forget the day you said goodbye
I want to forget but it's too hard to try
I hope I get too drunk to cry

I hope I get too drunk to think
What's here one day is gone in a wink
This bar stool stays steady as I start to sink
I hope I get to drunk to think

I hope get too drunk to laugh
Thinking of days that we shared in the past
But the music's too loud and this new girl's too fast
I hope I get too drunk to laugh

I hope I get too drunk to screw
This girl is so pretty but she'll never be you
I'll pretend I'm passed out and she'll swear til she's blue
I hope I get too drunk to screw

I hope I get too drunk to cry
I hope I forget the day you said goodbye
I want to forget but this bottle's run dry
I hope I get too drunk to cry
Track Name: Brambles
We crept up to the shoreline
Too afraid to throw stones
Mistrust pulled our world apart
As we tried to build a home

All of your precious pretty things
Grew souls and blew away
We tore everything apart to find them
Now there's no place left to stay

You think
That I'm still
To blame

But I never
Chose to leave
This way

You could never learn to love
These ordinary things
I tried to replace the thought of them
But you just smiled and turned away

Love softer than whispers
Caused our tongues to come unwound
Everything we meant to say
Just crashed into the ground
