Swine Dive 02:09
SWINE DIVE You know how it feels when everything breaks? Twist a bit more and see what it takes. it doesn’t take that much to break a promise  When it’s a lie. Take  A  Dive You know how it feels when everything stops? Rip out the wires and see if it locks up. An if it does we can set it on fire, Climb inside and die. Take  A  Dive

Libel 03:41
LIBEL Don’t stop me if this hurts, If you’re allergic to the truth. But the way you flip the channels tells me  You don’t wanna talk about it. It’s hard to resist, coming down on the killswitch. But you make me wanna do it. You make me wanna do it to you. Yeah, just cut it loose this time. Hung out like a marionette in a hurricane And my faith has failed me. Yeah, could you redefine ends to means, Just bad dreams, Define piece of mind, As I feel it sinking... down. And I knew who you were before your  name even crossed my lips, And I knew who you were  Before the cracks were exposed to light. I knew you would come in low  As to not be detected. You crawled inside to hide your heart and keep your intensions out of site. If I could I’d cry for you, But you stole/worn my caring face away. Hope it helps to see you through. I remember when I was young, I used to see through a fisheye lens. Now my contempt has cut off the periphery. Everything i once relied on, Changed it’s face a came back a liability. Before I met you I could breath of my own free will, Didn’t feel like my heart was pumping tar. Everything i loved was amputated, and words turn to venom in my mouth.

BOTTLE ROCKET  Breathing fire, I’m my own epidemic. Scorching everything around me. I cut myself off, cut myself out. Self inflicted, so addictive (man) And if I wanted I could throw this to the ground I don’t know why I don’t, Cause it comes back harder every time around And if I wanted I could break this cage and fly, I don’t know why I don’t, Cause it comes back hard every time I try. Give me something I can use to light this fuse and set me off now. No less of a liar, but not like any other. I twist everything I tell myself. And overloaded question, I’ve put to my own head. “Stop waving the gun around, if you ain’t gonna use it kid”. And if I wanted I could throw this to the ground I don’t know why I don’t, Cause it comes back harder every time around And if I wanted I could break this cage and fly, I don’t know why I don’t, Cause it comes back hard every time I try. Give me something I can use to light this fuse and set me off now.
