Claws 03:28
Big bad wolf means no harm Goosebumps run down his arm and I can feel them too. Big bad wolf No alarm Just a pinch on his arm and I can feel it too Will I wake up soon? Da-da-da Big bad wolf All is lost Just a taste is all he wants and I will taste you too.

Head like a lake - I just fell in. I always did. Arms like the night - they just say bye. Every time. Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone.

Ceiling Fan 03:21
Threw your heart into a ceiling fan just to watch it rip apart Stop your movies just short of the end 'cause you can't stand to lose the start I figured out that anything is beautiful if you just find your favorite part but you'll keep living your life in the dark if you keep waiting for a spark I lost all hope just as soon as you knew and I wrote a letter but I stopped halfway through it's to you so I hope this will do for a week maybe two..

Gashes 03:55
That night after I drove home you called me on the telephone and asked me what the hell was wrong I was wrong This hill is too steep and the gashes in your knees drip down to your feet but something tells me I'm not in this for me Now wipe yourself clean and I'll take back all the jokes that you thought were mean just do one last thing and tell me how you've been so I'm not stuck wondering.

Not Fair 03:07
You love to sleep in but you're scared of dying. So tell me, how does that make any sense? How does that make any sense? I spend half my time coming up with rhymes hoping eventually they'll bring you back to me For some reason that makes sense to me.. For some reason that makes sense.

If you heard I crashed my car, just swerved too hard and hit a wall, would you say you're not surprised? Or would it be the first time I've crossed your mind? 'Cause growing up takes it's toll. I don't like the idea of getting old. So I'll just eave at 4 o' clock and let you think I lost control and couldn't stop.
8.
Lately I've been letting so many people down that I'm starting to lose count. And you can't see my hands but they're burning at both ends just to show what they're about. You need to find yourself a place inside my bones a place you can call home. Beneath my ribs is only vacant space "Please just try." Its all you'd ever say. All this time I just wanted you to stay. To stay.

Untitled 03:06
The first time I came over your parents asked me if I'd play both them a song and you sang along and I think that's when I fell in love Though this may be hard to say maybe you'll see that though my voice shaky I still made it shout. Can you still hear it now?
