Feel Right 02:24
I don't wanna say that I'd feel lost without you, cuz I think that sounds pretty lame. But it's chill when you make me laugh when I ain't s'posed to, I guess I like to feel that way. I'm not trying to be burdensome, I just wish I could forget what I've seen. I hope this don't come back to haunt you, but I don't think things what they supposed to be. I don't really feel right, I don't really feel right, No, I don't really feel right now. Something ain't sittin' right, something ain't sittin right, I guess it's why I don't feel right. I arrived at my decision by utilizing a choice deliberation system that I came up with, has no grounds proving legitimate. I don't wanna say that I'd feel lost without you, cuz I think that sounds pretty lame. But it's chill when you make me laugh when I ain't s'posed to, I guess I like to feel that way.

Told the Sun 03:32
The shameful haul, the ashtray full, grinning wide, sent the signal. Required provisions, the tops of heads peaking over. Room 212, but the boys left. Cigarette parties, minimal silence. Just dark the room so they won't hear. I can't get involved, I'm just here assisting. Is it all for naught if we're just pretending. It's like I told the sun, please keep it down. Can't let you, upset you. With strangers do as humans you. Just can't stop crossing longer legs. The great fall, so small, took a little off the top. Just a voice at the foot of the stairs. I can't get involved, I'm just here assisting. Is it all for naught if we're just pretending. It's like I told the sun, please keep it down. When I was falling, I was not on my own. Can't say it was not deliberate. Valentine stickers causing fights, you say you feel alright, but I know it just sorta rhymes. I can't get involved, I'm just here assisting. Is it all for naught if we're just pretending. It's like I told the sun, please keep it down.

Found another bucket and rope not overwhelmed. Laughing as we guide it down, dug deep this time around. But when the poison water met our lips, felt worse than it had before. When we were kids and didn't care, assumed improvement over loss. I don't need to lose this thing, if it's pleased to follow a safe distance, but maybe don't go. Don't go... We were trippin' on good days, not sure how we cut the noise. Could almost play this thing with one hand, assume, control, reward. So when the poison water overflowed, felt worse than it had before. Let myself down, but off the hook, could not repeat reward. I don't need to lose this thing, if it's pleased to follow a safe distance, but maybe don't go. Don't go...

I'm happy, overjoyed. I'm intoxicated against my will. I'm happy, but I'm sad, cause to feel this way again I first gotta go mad. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. The poor are ungraceful, the rich are unfaithful, but there's love. I'm heavy, but slightly annoyed, cause the weight that keeps me down is crushing my toes. I'm unhappy, kinda mad, cause to feel this way again I first gotta be glad. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. The poor are ungraceful, the rich are unfaithful, but there's love. I don't wanna feel that way, cause I love it when I feel that way. I don't wanna feel that way. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love. The poor are ungraceful, the rich are unfaithful, but there's love.

Wash Out 03:05
I just wanna waste all your time. Just slow it down and smash out all their lights. Setting fire to what we like. I just wanna waste all your time. Na na na na na, na na na na na. Na na na na na, na na na na na. I just want it to feel good when I die. Not trampled by the weight and say I'm fine. It's a thrill when I push the world on it's side. I just want it to feel good when I die. Na na na na na, na na na na na. Na na na na na, na na na na na. I don't know what to do when you put me on the spot. I don't know what to say, but I'd say I hate to communicate. I don't know what to do when you put me on the spot. I don't know what to say, but I'd say I hate to communicate. Na na na na na, na na na na na. Na na na na na, na na na na na.
