Forest Fire 02:26
In the middle of a forest fire Watchin' flames gettin' higher and higher In the middle of a forest fire Just waitin' to die You may call me a liar In the middle of a forest fire There's nothing that's so dire As a slow suicide And I wait, wait, wait For that date, date, date When I cross that line When I cross that line In the middle of a forest fire And I feel so fucking tired In the middle of a forest fire Just waitin' to die Don't think I'll get much higher In the middle of a forest fire Won't hear no angel's choir For a slow suicide And I wait, wait, wait For that date, date, date When I cross that line When I cross that line

I remember your five year plan Marked with bullets and written in pen It told us where we would be In a time of uncertainty I remember flippin' the pages And reading what it was saying I knew it'd never succeed Between you and me You and me You wanted to get married In a chapel far from the city I was afraid I'd catch on fire For walkin' in the house of liars I remember how you always smiled Face lit up like a child's Two dimples and beautiful eyes I knew I had to make you cry Make you cry I could die I remember when I knew it was over A pretty day in October Stole your nose and kissed your lips That's when you said that was it You rewrote your five year plan But it involved another man You think I ruined your life You only remember the fights That's alright

Each day is the same or so they say Waking up a quarter past three I'll get better I'll find a way A way for us to one day be free Tired of feeling so empty inside Going to bed a quarter past three Always looking for a new place to hide Can't figure out how to make a new me Things will go smoother but not today Staying awake through a quarter past three I'll get better, I'll find a way Find a new place for us to be free Be free

I told her what I saw today People always in the way Mothers teach their daughters All their old mistakes She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She lied, yeah she lied Everyone must play the game Learn to make their dreams tame Fathers teach their sons How to hide the pain She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She lied, yeah she lied Do you want to be like them? Drones on the same stem? Following the rest To a lower plane? She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She said there's nothing wrong with me She lied, yeah she lied

The Sun 03:37
Come on, come on Show us the way And like a dog I will obey Why does he watch If we are free? Why won't he leave And let us be? Do you see the sun? Do you see the waves upon the shore? Where could you run? Where can you hide anymore? Come on, come on, come on
