Take me by mouth twice daily
And by this time next week
We’ll be such familiar friends
That you won’t need me
Take me by mouth twice daily
And by the time we’re seen together again,
I'll be a means to an end
And you won’t need me
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
Take me by mouth twice daily
And by the time we’re seen together again,
I'll be a means to an end
And you won’t need me
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
I told you I’d open that floodgate again and
You told me that you couldn’t take that lie, you did
Well, I told you I’d open that floodgate again and
You told me that you couldn’t take that lie
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
If we were overheard becoming more than we were, I’m a liar
If I’m distracted by a light in the periphery, I’ve died
I told you I’d open that floodgate again and
You told me that you couldn’t take that lie, you did
Well, I told you I’d open that floodgate again and
You told me that you couldn’t take that lie, you did
Well, I told you I’d open that floodgate again
Well, I told you I’d open that floodgate again

I am not the only one collapsing in this hotel room tonight
We both paid the price
And I’m having trouble recolecting just how high it was
I still hear the buzz the incessant buzzing clip its wings its wings
You were never as eternal
As you were told you were as a child
You were never that eternal
And you’ve wasted life all the while
I will never forget lowering the remains of the one I love
Couldn’t look her in the eyes this time
And I’ve never greeted guests from heaven as they hovered down
I still hear the buzz the incessant buzzing clip its wings its wings
You were never as eternal
As you were told you were as a child
You were never that eternal
And you’ve wasted life all the while
People I’ve known all my life I’ve never really known
People I’ve known all my life I’ve never really known
People I’ve known all my life I’ve never really known
People I’ve known all my life I’ve never really known
I’m not ready to be without you

Trading Places
There’s a hole in my head
Where thoughts spill out
From the moment they touch the air
I know I’ll nver get them back
There’s a gap in my meomory
Where only you stand out
There are holes in the clothes I wear
I can’t recall how they got there
I can hear you mocking me
Calling down to me
I remember the times you lied
On the day you died and I took your place
There’s a hole in my head
Where thoughts slip in
Though I feel they belong to me
I can’t recall how they got there
I can feel you tugging me, clasping on to me
I remember the lies you whispered
On the day you died and I took your place

Sleep again again
Just like you always do
while I entertain your friends
And no one knows you the way I do
I’ll just keep making excuses for you and only you
Again again you wake me up and
Again again you grab me by my pride
Again again I’m slipping into you
You want, you want
Weep again again
Just like you did when all our tasks came to their ends
And no one knows you the way I do
I’ll just keep making excuses for you and only you
Again again you wake me up and
Again again you grab me by my pride
Again again I’m slipping into you
You want, you want
Do you think God gives us turns painting the sky?
Because I’m feeling inspired but not ready to die
And I don’t wanna waste all my time dreaming of all the words I’ll never write
Again again you wake me up and
Again again you grab me by my pride
Again again I’m slipping into you
You want, you want, you want
