The Noise 03:24
All the noise Clouds me from the voices And you're annoyed That all I do is avoid everything in front of me Just let me breathe So I don't hurt anyone Watch from a distance while you sleep I ran away Told her I can't stay Cuz it just plays Over in my head everyday Just let me be Just let me breathe So I don't hurt anyone Watch from a distance while you sleep Just trying to fill the void Now I'm drowning in the noise
2.
Where U Went 04:19
So used up And burnt out, everyone Looks so concerned you think you know me Well you heard wrong Colors fade And wash away yesterday And all that's left are the pictures you take of me Of me And you And you I'm still wondering where you went I need to find out what it is That you took when you left It seems like everything except me So last night You went and picked that fucking fight And I know you're thinking I'll come chasing after you screaming Are you alright Well are you Are you I'm still wondering where you went I need to find out what it is That you took when you left It seems like everything except me

Gone 04:55
Been running away For so long Wish that I could face the music And tell you everything that's wrong Well if I had the time To tell you all the reasons why I couldn't stay You'd probably hate my guts Or at least just enough to know that you should stay away And now its all fucked up Jumbled in this mess But how'd something so innocent turn into this Well I don't want you angry blowing up my phone So I'll save it for tomorrow And just go home And if I had the time To tell you all the reasons why I couldn't stay You'd probably hate my guts Or at least just enough to know that you should stay away And now you're gone, you're gone, you're gone You're gone Now you're gone, you're gone Now you're gone You're gone You're gone Now you're gone Now you're gone You're gone Now you're gone, now you're gone Now you're gone You're gone Now you're gone

Party Girl 03:46
Where have you gone Where did you go You shouldn't tell me, but I still wanna know And when d'you get so fucking cool Don't stay up too late, tomorrow you've got school I know that you party on the weekend You never called I assumed it would end But now you got yourself Hanging around these drunken fools Yeah, you're a tool And I don't what to do with you I see your face every now and then Hanging with those demons that you call friends But I really know what's behind that look on your face You're lost but you're still looking for heaven's gate I know that you party on the weekend You never called I assumed it would end But now you got yourself Hanging around these fucking fools Yeah, you're a tool And I don't know what I'd do without you
5.
Yours 04:48
I want you to know That I'm still so into you But you shattered my soul And left me alone But I'll still follow you And you, you walked away Not a word you could say Could ease the pain Cuz I'm still strapped to your chains Don't expect me to change down here Cuz I'm still drowning and surrounded by The shame of your beautiful tide I will go on my own to prove it all to you Just don't think I'm another memory In your eyes can't you see You can leave it all to me And you'll know, and I'll know this can be Yours And I'm not the one who had the fun that was you And I've got one wish up on my list, so I sit Cuz I've got nothing left to give So pull me out of this I will go on my own to prove it all to you Just don't think I'm another memory In your eyes can't you see You can leave it all to me And you'll know, and I'll know this can be Yours
6.
Wait 04:24
Oh you know me so well You go and tell All your friends about me But I don’t know if I can be What you want me to be And all you gotta do is wait for me All you got to do is wait, baby I know you’re running far from something but you don’t gotta run from me But all you got to do is But now your patience wears thin I’m lost and you know it And I can’t see a thing Is there anything Left of me And all you gotta do is wait for me All you got to do is wait, baby I know you’re running far from something But you don’t gotta run from me But all you got to do is Wait
7.
It’s getting late I think I should go Cuz the kids that we once were Climbed out of the window Everyone dances And everyone sings What’s wrong with being frantic When were just some stupid fiends Now we’re turning into addicts While the others sit and watch it all happen Is this what you had imagined All of us Miserable and melodramatic What are we doing These days are all the same Can you give me something To take the stress off of my brain I know it’s not right The devils on my shoulder Telling me everyone here tonight Will turn out just fine Now we’re turning into addicts While the others sit and watch it all happen Is this what you had imagined All of us Miserable and Melodramatic
8.
Can you hear me screaming out There's something that we Talked about That ain't sitting right I think that I should try To find some light But I might not be able to If you move away So just stay Cause there's no sun to sit under It's like the lightning and the thunder Come through the same time so I know that I must be Caught in some dream And nothing's as bad as it seems Keep getting these losses to take home No idea where I got them from But I know that I got you And that might be enough to get me through But I'm sinking through Cause there's no sun to sit under It's like the lightning and the thunder Coming through the same time so I know that I must be Caught in some dream And nothing's as bad as it used to be Cause there's no sun to sit under It's like the lightning and the thunder Hit me at the same time so I know that I must be Dreaming Don't leave cause then everything Is as bad as it seems
9.
You say it’s all the same The chemicals in your brain react And now some of your screws are loose And you don’t know What to do And nothing hurts Not anymore No nothing hurts and no one heard you hit the floor And you don’t know Where to go from here And all that’s true is nothings clear And your filled with nothing but fear And nothing hurts Not anymore No nothing hurts and no one heard you hit the floor Now nothing feels the same The chemicals in your brain react And you don’t know what to do Cause your screws are loose You don’t know what to do anymore Cuz no one heard you Hit the floor Hit the floor You hit the floor I heard you hit the floor
10.
What Now? 04:47
In a couple years we’ll all be fine Do what we wanted All the time And our fears will float away Ain’t gotta worry about what they say anyways Don’t tell me I’m wrong cuz I already know I already know Don’t ruin the fun Cuz you’ll ruin it for everyone as we sing So what now So what now And now we sit and loathe And wear it like a cloak So they know That it’s never going away All the feelings here to stay At least for the day Don’t tell me I’m wrong I already know I already know Don’t ruin the fun Cuz you’ll ruin it for everyone As we sing So what now So what now So what now So what now
