"10:45 Amsterdam Conversation"
 
Water broken voice saturates a microphone
into a receiver with no tongue
offering little to what it knows

Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
when heaven is remembered but never seen
through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes

Eternally, the sun has set to mourning
and contoured are the backgrounds
on the canvas to which our lives are painted

[Repeat all]

Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes

Kaleidoscopes (Then a silence so heavy)
Kaleidoscopes (Then a silence so heavy)
Kaleidoscopes (Then a silence so heavy)
(Then a silence so heavy)
 

"Red Is The New Black"

EP Version
 
Can't pretend that you're nothing special
You've got to look at all of your options
You can't decide what to go for
When it's all about trust
It's all about trust
You see yourself on the TV
You read your magazines
You can't explain how it's come to be this
Stop and think...
When it's all about trust
It's all about trust


This coverage, your centre spread
Your neon light daydream will shatter and break
And if you think I'm thinking of your value here
You're the one
You're the one who's losing control

This eventual stop, this
Break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
[x2]

This situation isn't getting any better
I see that look in your eyes (the look in your eyes)
You want to see a pretty face?
There isn't anything wrong with giving up
And for what it's worth
I still hate you

This eventual stop, this
Break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
[x2]

Just to feel something [x4]

Something
Just to feel something
[x4]

This situation isn't getting any better
I see that look (I see that look in your eyes)
[x3]

"The Art Of American Football"
 
Shove- the momentum drags us under
Your constant disregard your constant aggravation
Tell me nothing but home truths and you show me starvation
On a black and white screen, this is your movie queen

Stop and think a second (tune in-tune out)
It's something more than nothing (drop in-drop out)
I see the way you lie to them (tune in-tune out)
All for the country you say (fuck them-fuck us)

Progress is the alternative to which we align
Hopeless intuition, raped between the lines
You tune in you tune out
Climbing a ladder fucked before we get out
You tune in you tune out
Climbing a ladder fucked before we get out

This system this lie

"The Getaway Plan"
 
Wasted journeys, time spent better knowing nothing
and looks, they don't help.
Prying eyes wander west to where oceans meet gold,
and you wonder why my heart, it breaks in two.

Hours pass into minutes, kissing the seconds away,
and days, they seem to melt just like your classic summers.

It's come to the point where everything loses perspective...
and I'm the one, and I'm the one who...
Prying eyes wander west to where oceans meet gold,
and you wonder why my heart, it breaks for you.

Hours pass into minutes, kissing the seconds away,
and days, they seem to melt just like your classic summers.

Your smile is so false, it won't take much to see you break

Stupid things are said, stupid things are done
and when the time comes, I'll shout from high mountain tops.

"This Year's Most Open Heartbreak"
 
Throw that punch, swing to hit the target
It's a pointless game, one better, less played
Suicide to kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them, what they've taken from you

To be the last one, who will sing you to sleep
To be the last one, who will sing you to...

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
A comfort for you tonight

Throw that punch, swing to hit the target
It's a pointless game, one better, less played
Suicide to kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them, what they've taken from you

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
A comfort for you tonight
[x2]

(We will never be the same)
Same old songs on a brand new stereo
(We will never be the same)
Same old songs on a brand new stereo
(We will never be the same)
Same old songs on a brand new stereo
(We will never be the same)
Same old songs!

To be the last one, who will sing you to sleep
To be the last one, who will sing you to...

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
A comfort for you tonight
[x2]

"Kiss And Makeup"
 
No matter where you go
They'll fucking tie you down
And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists)
Well, it's better that we leave
Leave it this way (leave it this way)

And just to soften the blow
I'll steal all of your kisses (your kisses)
And sew them up
In the creases of our hearts.

No matter where you go

And bleed you from your wrists (bleed you from your wrists)

HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.
HEARTS [x2]
I never really loved you anyway.

Oh, on the one thing you betted on
Don't ever let them take you down.
Oh, on the one thing you betted on
Don't ever let them take you down.

"Escape Artists Never Die"
 
The red poison of your lips
The red poison of your eyes
Is where I kissed the blood from
Just that corner of your mouth where I can see the
White of your smile

Up to my neck
When I'm breathing without you
Without you
Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you
Without you

We'll start a fire
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
[x2]

We need some leverage
We can't seem to open up
The locks are far too tight
And the chains are far too strong
Far too strong

Up to my eyes
And I'm seeing without you
Without you
Up to my heart
When I'm bleeding without you
Without you

We'll start a fire
And burn some bridges
And make it out of here tonight
[x2]

Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
With a hundred thousand lights
Timing as everything will
With a hundred thousand lights
Timing, timing is everything to me
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
Please someone help me
I'm dying here in front of you
It's everything, it's everything
Timing is everything, it's everything

The promise that he made
Left broken on the floor
The bruise left round your heart
Left you begging for more

THANK YOU for making me
WORTHLESS in your eyes
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light
In your white wedding dress
In your white wedding dress

THANK YOU for making this
THE BEST DAY of my life
In hope and desperation
I'll find my only light
In your white wedding dress
In your white wedding dress

And in the mess of all we've seen
I am open to everything

[Whispered:]
Hope and desperation
My only light

And time will, will take us all
And drown us in its wake
And clearly I will stay
And wipe the blood from your...
White wedding dress (wipe the blood from your...)
Your white wedding dress (wipe the blood from your...)
