Chaotic 03:17
It’s hard to explain myself Oh, I know I only tell you stories My tongue can’t paint what it denies It barely sees the picture If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real La la la la di da real La la di da real Let’s wait in the line that sells content Wait forever; while we wait at least we’re interesting I know that when I am it’s hurting you Oh, that’s impossible, yeah; oh if you only knew why If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real La la la la di da real La la di da real And symptoms seep through And mine surround you The problem is severely overlooked Oh, oh, yeah And I’m not new here I know it’s unclear I’d fill you in, oh if I only knew why If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real La la la la di da real La la di da real If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real If it’s not chaotic, it’s not real La la la la di da real La la di da real

If, Then 04:22
I'm pliable like melting vinyl And I've become learned from books I probably look like someone who's done something But I haven't amounted to anything I make sounds and I make them sound good But that might not mean a thing I’ve just about almost finished several things But I haven’t amounted to anything I write, I play, I choke on legato I scream for you, I look like this And all at once I can do probably twenty things But I haven’t amounted to anything If you’re hearing this song, then I’m something If you’re singing along, then that’s something If you’re crying like I am, I guess that’s something And I’m not the only one who feels like nothing I’m not the only one I’m not
3.
You are a very afraid person So much I think you won’t even let yourself think You’re being very safe and that’s dangerous If you really think about it I think you don’t even know anything sometimes I think you’re trying to lie to yourself I wanna tell you what you already should think You’re not a bad person, just a goddamn idiot These are just my thoughts They’re not always right but they’re always loud And this time I thought the most about it They’re just not wrong so do something about it
4.
Do you even talk? Strangers love you Keep the facade, and I’ll direct you Don’t you even fret or watch the technology rot You will like what I bought for you What’s that you plead? Oh, “Where’s the way out?” Follow my lead, I’ll muffle your shouts La da da da da da da, these walls don’t talk Da da da da da da, they just pout like you And when you’re all alone in the bathroom waiting for the fog to clear And you’re drinking all their chopped up pills Just remember that you did this to yourself And that it’s just bad TV Strangers love you Strangers love you
5.
Conflicted 03:43
Give up focus and turn your mouth out wide Lay down tokens and break the figures inside Ooo yeah, yeah, it’s the best time you’ll get Ooo yeah, yeah, but it hasn’t happened yet Oh and I’m conflictedly restricted And I’m addicted to falling out of line Tell me stories and make sure you lie Give up focus, we just want a good ride Ooo yeah, yeah, it’s the best time you’ll get Ooo yeah, yeah, but your mouth is bent and spent Oh and I’m conflictedly restricted And I’m addicted to falling out of line Oh and I’m conflictedly restricted And I’m addicted to falling out of line And I’m vindictive and masochistic And I won’t fix it, not because I’m fine Not because I’m fine Not because I’m fine
6.
See 03:12
I’m going to do bad things to myself Once I realize I’ve said this out loud But nothing’s as bad as this Trying and needing to get over it See See me See See me I’m going to almost act normal Whatever that means; I’m not normal Just know that I’m trying, I promise I want to just tell you but that would be worse See See me See See me Fear of having you Fear of losing you I hate that all I write about is How I feel about the people I care about I’ll try to have more depth, whatever that means Just see See me See See me 12345, 1234You, 12345, 1234You 12345, 1234You, 12345, 1234You. Are. Too. Good. For. Me. I see.

Out of Style 04:23
Tried my best to make every hide-able mistake But I wore too much and sometimes nothing at all And you’re a lot like me; doesn’t matter now we’re free ‘Cause you’ll try them all then lie like they fit And I can’t ignore the truth Even though that’s what you and I do Why do you got to wear that lame old shirt that I bought? You hate what it means; does that mean that you love me? And can’t we just forget? I will forgive your insolence But you shoes are hard to walk in, they hurt At least I tried and that’s more than I can say for you And I gave you mine to wear but you ignored them and then took your boots And maybe I’ll just try on something new Yeah, maybe I’ll just find something new You think that we don’t fit now, but you put us on all wrong Oh, how we’re out of style just to be recycled again And I guarantee the same With any shoes or girl that you try on next And I don’t ever wanna have more thoughts dear No I don’t even ever want to think at all The problem with the most of my thoughts dear Is that I believe them and you weren’t all that right or wrong You were wrong
