Is the prize worth all this pain? It's hard to stay dry when you're standing in the rain But maybe I like to soak Sometimes I want to see if I can still float, if I could do it alone Sometimes it feels like a punch in the face, I speak when I've got nothing to say Sometimes I think that I'm wrong until I realize I'm right, I want to win but it's just not worth the fight I'm spread thin, I'm severed, I'm stretched out, I'm scattered I am the hail that destroys and shatters I gave up on umbrellas a long time ago I don't want to look up and believe, I want to know Is the prize worth all this pain? It's hard when you have everything to lose and nothing to gain

Am I defective? I must be missing parts I didn't realize there was so much assembly required No manual and no batteries No technical support and no warranties Just leave me on the shelf, behind whatever's left Just call me in, I need replacing no one wants a toy that's missing pieces Feed me to the dog, the one that no one loves Leave me in the store, the one that everyone mugs Leave me in the yard, the one that always rains Leave me in the sun, so I can melt under the rays

Sometimes, we share a heart Sometimes, we are worlds apart But I know, just when you leave As soon as you take your eyes of me GONE - I ask you like a broken record GONE - But I'll never know what's wrong Like a blaring siren on repeat I'll wait until you get back because I know that you need me Our love, is built on tension Our love, it moves in slow motion But every so often our love, derails In a tragic crash, to save ourselves If I don't say something stupid, we won't say anything at all I know that it's not me, but sometimes I wish it was all my fault At least then I'd know who to blame Maybe then I could do something But until then I'll be your look out Because up ahead, I see brighter days

Feels like I popped a blood vessel in my head Feels like I don't wanna get out of this bed It's been one of those days this whole week I'm having trouble speaking my mind to you Feels like my heart's attacking I'm stroking out, there's nothing that I can do There's a weight on my shoulders I can't bear My head's gonna roll right off and I don't care Seems just like yesterday I was flying high Now I'm crashing and burning right in front of your eyes You're watching the flames engulf me Even though I feel so far away from you When it comes to disappointing me I've already expected that from you So why the hell do I feel this way Your silence makes for good poetry And I'm listening intently To everything you don't have to say Feels like I wanna throw up all my insides All this in your frustrating roller coaster ride Feels like my bones wanna rip out of my skin The night's only getting longer as we begin I'm gonna shove my heart into a bottle, Light it up and throw it down your way

Cartography 04:05
I use to believe that the only home we have is the one that we're born into. And the only one we'll ever love is the only one we'll never get too. I use to believe these bricks held up the stars but now it seems to barely carry our dreams, the weight of bad ideas Can you map out hope, a road that'll lead me home I use to believe all these closed doors made the windows seem so bright Now they're blinding me from ever being able to sleep at night Can you map out hope, a road that'll lead me home Can you fill this vehicle, so i'll never run out of fuel I've lost myself, but i think that i have found you.

Tunnels 02:47
This life seems so dim Without that shit eating grin Without a thought just holding your hand When that bubble pops All the world seems to stop And my castles just turn back to sand I've made a mess of this life Because all I see is the night Here's a toast to hoping the light is really at the end This love is crazy, This love is scarce Why do I misinterpret the things that you say My dreams in the clouds and their floating away Feels like I'm stuck in a cave There's light coming in, but it's only from one way
