1.	Golden Girl 03:11	lyrics
Good intentions never count for something they’re next to worthless when you’re burning for someone else I hope the price you paid was worth it I hope some day you don’t return it I tried to kill it but you’re bringing me back around you make me believe myself when I tell you I’m someone else Your solution is just taking the fast way down an all consuming faith surrendering to fate Inattention only leads to one thing a gentle shove into the bosom of someone else Show up on the other side unwanted show off all the inner scars still haunted I tried to kill it but you’re bringing me back around you make me believe myself when I tell you I’m someone else Your solution is just taking the fast way down an all consuming faith surrendering to fate New to the crushing Old love is rusting and left to wither on the vine Are you too trusting Goddamn you must be Let’s try to live up to the hype I tried to kill it but you’re bringing me back around you make me believe myself when I tell you I’m someone else Your solution is just taking the fast way down an all consuming faith surrendering to fate
2.	Slider 02:17	lyrics
Don’t Say goodbye when you run into the fields I know that I’ll see you again You can run and hide And leave me behind I’ll never see you again Don’t fall for the slider in your path Don’t fall I’ll help if I can Don’t fall can’t catch a break when you run away from home I know that I’ll see you again you can lean on me, I’m always here for you i’ll never see you again Don’t fall for the slider in your path Don’t fall I’ll help if I can Don’t fall No more sliders on the outside You can wait for what you want what you want what you want Don't Fall
3.	17XU 02:01	lyrics
They think I wear my heart on my sleeve If that were true You’d turn and you’d run screaming I keep the real thing hidden away from view Keep it tight so close that no one one sees one little crack and the whole thing won’t stop leaking and even so I keep coming right back to You You You You Walk in the door and go dark until I sleep and spend the all too lonely long night dreaming about the hours I never could have with you How do you start with an end that looks so so bleak but I’m the fool who’s gonna go on believing Until the day I can breathe the same air as You You You You You You You You It’s true I do want to with you
4.	Casual and Reckless 02:59	lyrics
Apologies for the unreliable narration It seemed a better strategy than truth such a talent for self-destructive situations and it’s close to going nuclear with you Keep it casual and reckless she said I won’t be yours in the morning but we have tonight Slower burn bigger explosion she said holding hands we’ll scatter ashes as we say good bye thin smile hides twenty years of heavy breathing loose words a careless match to light the fuse dive in the sense of consequence is fleeting the accomplice I’ve been searching for is you Keep it casual and reckless she said I won’t be yours in the morning but we have tonight Slower burn bigger explosion she said holding hands we’ll scatter ashes as we say good bye hopeless helpless I won’t be yours in the morning but we have tonight Slower burn bigger explosion she said holding hands we’ll scatter ashes as we say good bye say goodbye say goodbye say goodbye goodbye
5.	Diamonds 02:46	lyrics
Turn it up and blow it out. Look up and go blind. Tear the feeling out of my skin. Carry me carry me away. I can’t see the window between the walls the doorway is too little to help at all Can't see the windows, can't see outside again Never again. Face the facts time is up I won’t change anyway scare the meaning out of my soul before i drift away, drift away I can’t see the window between the walls the doorway is too little to help at all Can't see the windows, can't see outside again Never again. I found you my diamond in the rough I found you my diamond in the rough i found you found you I can’t see the window between the walls the doorway is too little to help at all Can't see the windows, can't see outside again Never again.
6.	Anthem 03:31	lyrics
You say it’s a victory I disagree it still stings like a loss to me No matter where we stand The noise is a factory churning out doubts at a rate that you won’t believe the currency we spend It’s maddening to be subject to an endless complication It’s maddening to be torn apart by a hopeless situation Dictate the frequency somewhere between total silence and next to nothing it was all we had it’s your last chance to see better not blink or you might just catch the vanishing if it was ever there It’s maddening to be subject to an endless complication It’s maddening to be torn apart by a hopeless situation It’s maddening to be subject to an endless complication It’s maddening to be torn apart by a hopeless situation This is how it ends X 12
7.	Problem Solver 02:43	lyrics
There’s hundreds of moving parts a half dozen broken hearts and who’s to say what’s wrong or right Steps made in the best of faith the slipperiest slope to date no climbing back after tonight You’re the only problem I can’t solve Electric across the space the obvious came too late and made it safe with the denial Now the it got to here the simplest exit clears a trail of tears leads to the end You’re the only problem I can’t solve You’re a trouble magnet after all I’m the only problem I can’t solve I’m a trouble magnet after all
8.	Supergirl 03:02	lyrics
The light went dark when the spark went out It came so suddenly it made no sense and defied the truth We lost our chemistry Tried to bring you back Reignite the spark But there was no energy I made the chance You defied the cure We lost our chemistry Don't go Don't go away Don't go Is all I can say You're like no other girl Show me the world You're super, girl You're like no other girl Show me the world You're super, girl girl girl Stuck in suspension caustic capacity Stuck in suspension Fix this uncertainty Stuck in suspension We need harmony You're like no other girl Show me the world You're super, girl You're like no other girl Show me the world You're super, girl Stuck in suspension caustic capacity Stuck in suspense
9.	Wrong Timing 02:26	lyrics
Your mutation matches mine combustibly connected human carnage danger ride or it would seem except circumstance won’t conspire to let this be real We’ve perfected the art of wrong timing the world will never see the beauty of this thing You’re no stranger in my head permanent resident no exit visa until death Are you a crush or a crushing disappointment we’ll find out in no time We’ve perfected the art of wrong timing the world will never see the glory of this thing We’ve perfected the art of wrong timing the world will never see this monstrosity
10.	The Lie Love 03:32	lyrics
Got stash of all the things I’ll send to you when you leave for the last time Did you think that all the things I said weren’t true when I thought that you were mine So unkind X4 All the time X4 You said you’re gone half a dozen times though it never rang quite true and I carryon while you think you’re gone but my soul still stinks of you when we burn our best and all the rest our regrets can be the fuel I would never tell you what to do did you ever think that I could be so cruel I don’t want to but I try only giving what i get in turn from you though it makes me want to die Want to die X4 All the time X4 You said you’re gone half a dozen times though it never rang quite true and I carryon while you think you’re gone but my soul still stinks of you when we burn our best and all the rest our regrets can be the fuel I would never tell you what to do You said you’re gone half a dozen times though it never rang quite true and I carryon while you think you’re gone but my soul still stinks of you when we burn our best and all the rest our regrets can be the fuel I would never tell you what to I would never tell you what to I would never tell you what to do
