Neither your fault nor mine We reached the end of the line The inevitable decline But now I see you complicate Point fingers, try to implicate Me in sealing your fate ‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart The truth is we were doomed from the start We were doomed from the start We were born to be apart We were doomed from the start So it’s no use to pretend That this didn’t have to end And please don’t try to be my friend Because there’s two lives here at stake Don’t repeat the same mistake Pull the emergency brake ‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart The truth is we were doomed from the start We were doomed from the start We were born to be apart We were doomed from the start ‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart The truth is we were doomed from the start We were doomed from the start We were born to be apart We were doomed from the start

Confidant 02:31
Your bedtime stories and your tall tales Half-baked fiction growing stale I’m tired of hearing ‘bout the exes and the exploits Of the little rich white deer in headlights Go and find yourself a brand-new confidant ‘Cause I’ve learned much more than I wanted Like a child in the deep end of the pool I try to help you out and you pull me in with you And all this diving’s got me bored ‘Cause I don’t get much allowance doing your chores Go and find yourself a brand-new confidant ‘Cause I’ve learned much more than I wanted You’ve got a special way Of ruining my day And I’ve heard all you have to say Go and find yourself a brand-new confidant ‘Cause I’ve learned much more than I wanted

Asterisk 02:38
I didn’t mean to say What I mean today Meant to censor the sensations That my words conveyed But that’s not how it went Instead of backspace, I hit print There’s an asterisk Next to everything we say I didn’t mean to hear What you said last night Meant to drown you out Under fluorescent light But that’s not how it goes By now, we both know That there’s an asterisk Next to everything we say Is it worth the risk To throw that fine print away? Well there’s an asterisk Next to everything we say Is it worth the risk To throw that fine print away?

Better Place 02:40
So tell me of this better place Of the eternal state of grace You say we all will find Tell me about this friend of mine You say God had a plan Some purpose for this man But we don’t need to hear These fantasies, borne of fear We didn’t lose him He won’t be found He’s six feet underground And if he’s gone Where did he go? Don’t tell me that you know Passed on, but did he pass your test? Now, was he damned or was he blessed? You must give me a sign And I’ll sign the dotted line ‘Cause it must be nice to be so sure It’s all mapped in this brochure You’ve really got it figured out Doing the Hail Mary twist and shout We didn’t lose him He won’t be found He’s six feet underground And if he’s gone Where did he go? Don’t tell me that you know Oh no, we didn’t lose him He won’t be found He’s six feet underground And if he’s gone Where did he go? Don’t tell me that you know Don’t tell me that you know

When darkness falls Where do you go? I always wonder I never know Turn the corner ‘Round the bend Where does it start How does it end? Money changes Shaking hands You’ll take all You can withstand A frozen angel Made of ice Your melting is A heavy price When darkness falls Where do you go? I always wonder I never know

Point Dööm 01:37

I’ve got a front row seat Just to watch my city burn But you tell me there’s no cause for concern Walk on flaming coals Past the point of no return Still you tell us there’s no cause for concern There’s no cause for concern There’s no cause for concern Just sit back and let your stomach churn There’s no cause for concern There’s no cause for concern ‘Cause you never listen And I’ll never learn After so many missteps I’d think you might’ve learned You assure me there’s no cause for concern Now, if it’s hell you come from Well, I wish you would return Give me one less cause for concern There’s no cause for concern There’s no cause for concern Just sit back and let your stomach churn There’s no cause for concern There’s no cause for concern ‘Cause you never listen And I’ll never learn Now, when the verdict’s rendered And the courtroom is adjourned Then we’ll have no cause for concern If I tell myself enough times One day I’ll mean it in turn And I’ll have no cause for concern

More to Fear 03:47
I ignored my every instinct, Went back there the next day Fancied myself brave Now stupid’s what I’d say Now I punish myself daily For the actions of a child Me and that selfish fool Have yet to reconcile They say these are The best years of our lives I hope that’s just Another of their lies ‘Cause if it’s all downhill from here We have so much more to fear The man across the bar Longs for his college years Before his friends got married And his belly showed the beer Wonder does he remember All those good times how they were Or do they just keep looking better As the pictures fade and blur They say these are The best years of our lives I hope that’s just Another of their lies ‘Cause if it’s all downhill from here We have so much more to fear If it’s all downhill from here If it’s all downhill from here We have so much more to fear

Friend, I’ve seen that look before It just gets worse the more you try to ignore But fear not, I’ve found a cure Millions swear by it, rest assured ‘Cause I’m what’s left When the rest has been erased Standing in the negative space Close your eyes Let the darkness take its place And join us in the negative space You see this room, it has no doors Here you’ll find no bottom floor ‘Cause we’ve got everything you need It gets much easier, now you’re free ‘Cause I’m what’s left When the rest has been erased Standing in the negative space Come on down Let the darkness take its place And join us in the negative space So here’s what’s left Now your world’s been laid to waste Nothing but the negative space Close the door Let the darkness take its place And join us in the negative space Join me in the negative space
10.
I hope one day I can tell you This won’t last And be right ‘Cause I know how you get When sun sets early But here’s a better way There must be, surely And maybe you’ll make it out alive Maybe, just maybe, you’ll survive I hope one day you might treat Yourself the way You treat most everyone else But I know how you get ‘Round January Crumbling under weight You just can’t carry But maybe you’ll make it out alive Maybe, just maybe, you’ll survive Maybe you’ll make it out alive Maybe, just maybe, you’ll survive I hope one day I can tell you This won’t last And be right Right by your side
