There was a time that I convinced myself That I was weak, for what it's worth You came along and nursed me back to health You stuck with me through all my worst But like all good things must come to an end We were no strangers to this truth I couldn't count on you to stay a friend When your true colors would bleed through She has a way with getting in my head And I would (die/cry/fly) when she said "Hold me, put your arms around me I can change tonight, you'll see You belong to me" I miss the times when I was on my own And I'm not speaking out of spite There's something nice about being alone At least there's no one left to fight Kiss me, or you're gonna miss me By the power invested in me You belong to me Love me, like the stars above me When push comes to shove, I'll flee You belong to me

Feelin' Fine 03:17
Rescue me, I cried When I couldn't make you happy But I made the first move to escape Lest you be denied I would take off running gladly I couldn't stand when you changed your shape And after all, it's good to know It won't be hard to let you go Now I'm free from your shadow And I've been feeling fine Lost in you Or was I just lost in my surroundings I welcome these newfound arrangements I was through The buzz in my ears still resounding At least it's better than estrangement And all these lights are calling to me I answer, thought I hesitate I felt my old self passing through me I'm slipping towards that awkward state

Lose My Way 04:07
I've heard that time would heal the damage But maybe I'm beyond repair I'm far removed from when I came from one so savage Broken wings and hollow, faithless prayers Though I don't mean the words I've spoken No, I was just blowing off steam 'Cause I had fallen so far down The worst in me is coming out again I don't want to lose my way, so I repent I left you thunderstruck It seems I'm running out of luck again I don't want to lose my way, my dearest friend This temperament is so unlike me So I cry, "What have I become?" And now I wait for god to play his hand and smite me And to my fate, I will succumb They can't convince me I'm not broken When I am tearing at the seams And all this feels far too token It's not unlike a waking dream

So it's happened, bound by my word You're entrapped and begging me Give you some slack and Crying that you don't know my anymore And you're spot on, even the mirror Has forgotten, my reflection's looking So rotten, ever since I Burst out and gave you what for So I will bid you adieu I run to find my better half Don't this feel like deja vu The words etched on my epitaph: "Corrode, crash, and explode" Something's calling, and I admit I've been stalling, forgive me For acting appalling, it's no longer Something I can ignore Corrode, crash, explode There's no excuses left to bode I'll turn myself inside out My answers don't lie in the stars We're walking a different route I heard you crying from afar: "Corrode, crash, and explode"

Said I 05:42
One by one, we drop like flies Day is done, so says the skies So I cry, I am I said Shall we lie, in broken beds And nothing is wasted Least you can say you chased it So without a care, we put on airs Keep me out of your affairs, said I And all the hippie kids are hypocrites Who wallow in self-righteousness, said I I am my own, I am alone One by one, these days do pass (These days do pass so slow) To the sun, we go at last (And so at least we go) So I cry, I am I said (I am I said, said I) Do or die, through hell we tread (We go through hell to die) You've got me debased and I march on through the wastelands Your time has passed and come so fast Blame the broken hourglass, said I Lying snug in graves you dug Relying on your sacred drugs, said I I am my own, I am alone
