Tug Of War 01:34
[I see the rain again] Feel the rain drops falling right on me Follow them right down to the sea Hear ravens call from the trees Fly with them right up in the breeze Really seems like both of these things Wanna reach out their arms and grab me When they do I get pulled so easy Tug of war till I start to bleed

I wonder 'bout the ways that i go about my life It feels like a silly sine wave right between my eyes Some days I wanna smile, some days I wanna die I really wondered if I'd make it past 25, yeah Welcome to the carnival, lets go for a ride All the people 'round the town really like the pretty lights But when they get inside its not quite the same sight It'll have you throwin' up by the end of the night, yeah Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider Hands up! Everybody scream Hold on to your hats, yeah, it can be a dream We're right at the top, yeah watch the sun gleam If you make it to the end I can buy ice cream You got a taste, now you know that you like it Gotta make sure that you're tall enough to ride it Catch a loop de loop, get some vomit on your eyelids Wipe it all off at the bottom of the crisis Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider You're not the first and you won't be the last So don't feel too special when the good times pass You can have a good time, search the sky for a friend Or you can be a sad girl with torn tickets at the end You're not the first and you won't be the last So don't feel too special when the good times pass You can have a good time, search the sky for a friend Or you can be a sad girl with torn tickets at the end Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider Hands to the sky, feeling like a paraglider Falling with no parachute, skydiver Up and down like a roller coaster rider Up and down like a roller coaster rider

I've got something that you should know I've got a thing for you, but it never shows Everyday I feel that cold wind blow But I guess that's just the way it goes I guess that's just the way it goes I've got something that you should know I've got a thing for you, but it never shows Everyday I feel that cold wind blow But I guess that's just the way it goes I guess that's just the way it goes I guess that's just the way it goes

Indigo 01:14
What does it really mean, to be me Sometimes i think that i don't know You turn to talk to me and I just freeze Stick my head right in the snow How much longer should this charade go And how long has gone on I don't know Somethings you need to see to believe But all i see is indigo My bell is ringing i suppose Maybe it's my time to go

So this is how it is Though, I never asked for it All these ways that I have been I've been told how to begin Got my eyes back through my head Thinking bout what has been said Everything that i did Ever since i was a kid It didn't have to be like this I had to wait for this lift And keep me from going so thin But where have they been I've been wondering If you really are my friend From right now until the end

Feel it curving The ground underneath each step Feet are hurting I've found out the planet's depth I keep walking I'm on my track and then It's so shocking When I find I'm back again Thirteen cycles I'm tied down to the moon Digits added I wonder if I'll be there soon I've been like it The day since I left the womb And I'll have it Until I have reached my tomb How much longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in How much longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in Body within the body, circling the brain A copy of a copy, knotting up my frame Body within a body, circling the brain Copy of a copy, knotting up my frame Thirteen cycled breath drudging eternal unrest My eyes: dried up riverbeds Talk in circles, exhausted by my silhouette Fears start to pirouette; melting in my bed I'm an imitation of my own limitation My pinks turn to grey; flight pattern delayed Standing in my light: unassigned parasite Standing in my light, death is my birthright I don't know whenever I are There's a happiness hidden in my cote of scars A starving reservoir; I feel so far away I feel so far away My mouth becomes a womb For the thoughts that never leave this room My mouth becomes a womb For the thoughts that never leave this room My mouth becomes a womb For the thoughts that never leave this room A body within the body, circling the brain Copy of a copy, knotting up my frame Body within the body, circling the brain A copy of a copy, knotting up my frame Thirteen cycled breath drudging eternal unrest My eyes: dried up riverbeds Talking in circles exhausted by my silhouette Fears start to pirouette; melting inside my bed I'm a limitation of my own imitation My pinks turn to grey; flight patterns delayed Standing in my light: unassigned parasite Standing in my light, death is my birthright Death is my birthright How much longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in How much longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Longer, how much longer Must I walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in circles Walk in
