How's It Going to End?

What’s happening to me, I’m too aware of things
The only trait I seem to value is authenticity
And I’ll break my back to find it if that’s what I need to do
Put a filter over your imperfections and hope they all believe you
If you can, will you call when there’s no one else around
So I know that it’s you and not who you pretend to be
Does it help your self-esteem, or your insecurities
When you constantly exchange your thoughts for dopamine
And I don’t think you’re as happy as you portray yourself to be
But what are you expecting your disciples to believe
Cause you may have the world fooled, but you’re not fooling me
So what are you expecting me to believe
If you can, could you call when there’s no one else around
So I know that it’s you and not who you pretend to be
Does it help your self-esteem, or your insecurities
When you constantly exchange your thoughts for dopamine

Headrest

I’m grippin your headrest from the back seat
Don’t know where you’re goin, but you’re so good at pretending
How’s your fantasy inside your mind, is it your life
And your future, is it set in stone, well that’s nice
And how’s your control that you always crave, and you fight
So do you wanna drive
Do you have to
I’m grippin your headrest from the backseat
Don’t know where you’re goin, but you’re so good at pretending
You’re so good at pretending
What do you want from this, were you expecting less, and what more could you take
And if I stood on the edge, would you hold me back or would you push me
I know you’d push me
I know you’d push me
So why don’t you push me
You’re driving the wrong way, but you have your control
You’re driving the wrong way, but you have your control
And you have your control
You have your
I’m grippin your headrest from the backseat
Don’t know where you’re goin, but you’re so good at pretending
You’re so good at pretending when you have your control
I’m gripping your headrest
When you have your
I’m gripping your headrest
Control, when you have it
I’m gripping your headrest
I’m grippin your headrest

Glass
03:45
|

Go on and prove you’re different than everybody else
Like you’re not constantly in the mirror criticizing yourself
But I’ve seen what lies behind those eyes
Beyond the glass that gets you high, beyond the glass that gets you high
You said, you said, you said you wanna see the real world
So I said, I said, I said, just open your eyes
So what’s the point in trying anymore, I think I’m moving on
From trying to compete with numbers on a screen, I know they turn you on
But I’ve seen you lonely when they’re gone
Those in the glass that turn you on, those in the glass that turn you on
You said, you said, you said you wanna see the real world
So I said, I said, I said, just open your eyes
Cause it’s nice to see your eyes without reflection of a backlight
And don’t I know the reason why you let them control your life
So if you wanna see the real world, then just open your eyes
But don’t say I never warned you of what lies behind
Beyond the glass that gets you high, beyond the glass that gets you high
Just open your eyes
What lies behind, what lies behind
You said, you said, you said you wanna see the real world
So I said, I said, I said, just open your eyes
Cause it’s nice to see your eyes without reflection of a backlight
And don’t I know the reason why you let them all control your life
1, 2, 3, 4
Go on and prove you’re different
Just open your eyes
Go on and prove you’re different
Just open your eyes
Go on and prove you’re different

I think I’m be fallin to pieces, but I need this baby
You’re sayin my name in your sleep again
I know that it’s all my fault, but if you’re still in, then I’m in
But are we basking in the glory of yesterday, or is this something else
Suppose I’ve got a little heart left on my sleeve for this
Do with it what you will
Yeah I’ve been bleedin my heart out for you baby, and probably always will
Yes I will
Cause all you want is someone to buy you pretty things
and I’m thinkin maybe I should
I know that everything’s my fault
I know that everything’s my fault
Is it bad I feel this good
Well if I’m fallin to pieces, then I need this
Baby, you’re sayin my name in your sleep
Oh yeah, I know that it’s all my fault, but I’m still in, are you in
And if we’re basking in the glory of yesterday, could it be something else
I’ve got a little bit of heart left on my sleeve for this
Do with it what you will
And If you ever feel like calling when you’re drunk again
I won’t mind, I swear
I won’t mind, I swear
Cause all you want is someone to buy you pretty things
and I’m thinkin maybe I should
I know that everything’s my fault
I know that everything’s my fault
Is it bad I feel this good
If you ever feel like calling when you’re drunk again, I won’t mind, I swear
If you ever feel like calling when you’re drunk again, I won’t mind, I swear
spoken:
I mean, come on Jess, how would you feel? The one person you want to always be around decides one day just to give you what you want. And almost instantly, every bad thought you have about yourself disappears. but then what? You can’t make ‘em stay. So, you’ll never be satisfied, but still. Just to have that comfort, that warmth, the bliss, even if it is just for a moment, it’s always worth it. So yeah, fine, I’ll say it. I need you around. So, are you in or are you out?
Yeah if you ever feel like callin me up when you’re drunk again
you can, and I won’t mind I swear
It’s good to hear your voice even through telephonic slurring words
You’re exactly who you want to be, so forgive me for wanting you here
I’d do anything for your conversation, I’m all ears
I’m all ears, and I need you baby, closer baby, closer
I might be fallin to pieces, but I need this baby. I need this. I need it. I need you.
If you ever feel like calling when you’re drunk again, I won’t mind, I swear
I won’t mind, I swear. I won’t mind, I swear
I won’t mind

Boston
03:51
|
|||
Getting used to loosened ends is part of getting older, but you’re making it easier
I won’t miss you until you decide to grow up with us
Cause the rest of us, we’ll grow together, but you & me, babe, we’ll grow apart
It’s a thought that used to terrify me, but now it helps me get through the night
So, I’ll keep sleeping in the town where all this started
I guess I’ll see you in Boston
Maybe it’s time we called it quits
I don’t know what growing up is supposed to mean, but I know this isn’t it
And someday I know we’ll make amends
But for now I’m good with clearing out my head
Of the thoughts I had, but never said
And there’s actions that you’ve taken to make me feel I’ve been forsaken
Like I’ll lie awake
and these promises mean nothing when I often think of something to let em break
I hope you run away like you always wanted
Maybe I’ll see you in Boston
Maybe it’s time we called it quits
I don’t know what growing up is supposed to mean, but I know this isn’t it
And someday I know we’ll make amends
But for now I’m good with clearing out my head
Of the thoughts I had, but never said
Maybe it’s time we called it quits
I don’t know what growing up is supposed to mean, but I know this isn’t it
And someday I know we’ll make amends
But for now I’m good with clearing out my head
Thoughts I had never said
See you in Boston, I will
See you in Boston, I will
See you in Boston, I will

Burn Out
04:57
|
|||
You could tell me anything, I could be a gentleman
I will hold this heavy door. When you’re ready, enter it
I don’t want to fall for this again, but I know that I have to
Please don’t let my love burn out. Please don’t let my high come down
You could ask me anything, I will answer honestly
Don’t be too discouraged by responses on monogamy
I don’t want to wait for this to end, but I guess that I have to
Please don’t let my love burn out. Please don’t let my high come down
Please don’t let my love burn out. Please don’t let my high come down
All I want is my brain to stop thinking so much
I don’t wish to be exposed to every possible outcome
How come I am?
Please don’t let my love burn out
Please don’t let, please don’t let
Please don’t let my high come down
Don’t let my love burn out
Please don’t let my love burn out
Please don’t let, please don’t let
Please don’t let my high come down
Balance it all, the world said me
For there are always the ups and downs
I woke with the mind of Icarus, feeling destined for greater heights
There is no caution great enough to save us from the sun
You & I, we’ll toss it all to the wind
If we can rid ourselves of craving the capture of tangibility
Then Jess, there’s no doubt in my conscious mind that we will stay afloat
Please don’t let, please don’t let, my love burn out
Please don’t let, please don’t let

Outside
04:24
|
|||
Let’s try to capture the uncapturable
I wanna see you feeling vulnerable
Let’s not pretend I know the real you at all
You’ve only showed me what you wanted to show
And you only told me what you want me to know
And I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you at all, at all
Tell me why I feel alive
Tell me why I feel alive when I’m standing outside
I just need to keep my eyes wide open all the time
So if I could, I wanna see you beyond the glass we often speak through
Open your eyes, you can see what we sleep through, every night we’re alive
So if I could, I wanna see you every night we’re alive
So if you could just open your eyes
And tell me why I feel alive when I’m standing outside
I just need to keep my eyes wide open all the time
And tell me why I feel alive when I’m standing outside
I just need to keep my eyes wide open all the time
Tonight, I lie awake without you here beneath the sky
Convinced it’s not enough to hold your picture close to get me by
But I’ll try to reason with the lives we lead and compromise
I’ll start to close my eyes
Tell me why I feel alive when I’m standing outside
I just need to keep my eyes wide open all the time

Authentic
03:34
|

I don’t wanna be anything but honest and authentic anymore
If you wanna be anything but honest and authentic, there’s the door
These calluses on my hands make me grateful for what I have and who I am
But I still have nights where I can’t sleep
I find mistakes in my memories and I play them on repeat
I don’t want to be nostalgic, I don’t wish to reminisce
I want to stay here for as long as I can, and only think of this
I live for late night conversations around dining room tables
Keep me locked inside this moment and never let me go
I don’t think I need anything but romance and someone next to me
Someone next to me, oh
But I’d like to believe that I’m alright alone for now, waiting patiently
Cause I’m not so insecure as I always used to be
And I’m still running, just not away from anything
I live for late night conversations around dining room tables
Keep me locked inside this moment and never let me go
I live for late night conversations around dining room tables
Keep me locked inside this moment and never let me go
Don’t let me go, don’t let me go
Never let me go
I don’t wanna be anything but honest and authentic anymore
If you wanna be anything but honest and authentic, there’s the door

January

Do you think of me still, and in what kind of light
Is there a shadow cast on my name, if there is, it’s alright
And I know we had our battles, but baby, what a war
And my flag’s still waving cause I’ve got nothing to fight for
But I’m still standing my ground, this is where we ended up when we got out of town
And I hope that everything I said makes sense to you now
I am fast asleep, feel the January air slip through the cracks between
And I think of how we spent last winter, intertwining feet
God, I wish we could get back to who we used to be
I wanna get back to where we used to be, lost in university
and we swore, we had forever locked between our grasping hands
We were two dumb kids high on reading American fiction
I am fast asleep, feel the January air slip through the cracks between
And I think of how we spent last winter, intertwining feet
God, I wish we could get back to who we used to be
And I know this sounds so vain and typical
But I won’t give into my brain, so visceral
So go, shame my name, tell them all that I only fall in love to fall
I am fast asleep, feel the January air slip through the cracks between
And I think of how we spent last winter, intertwining feet
God, I wish we could get back to who we used to be
And I think of how we spent last winter
And how I wish we could get back to who we used to be

Jessica Hates The Future
03:42
|

Growing numb comfortably, accepting mortality
Believe that there’s nothing waiting on the other side, at least not for me
You’d never think this deeply growing up repeating
The words of a sermon you never questioned, that is until now
Angels in the canyon sing, I don’t feel anything
Angels in the canyon sing, I don’t feel anything
Do you think of me when you rest your head at night
I lie awake thinking of purpose
If everything is worthless, then maybe we’ll all be alright
Monogamy, a fairy tale we all still believe
And how many real love stories have happy endings anymore
If chivalry is dead, did love die with it, should we have as well
If chivalry is dead, did love die with it, should we have as well
Angels in the canyon sing, I don’t feel anything
Angels in the canyon sing, I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel anything
Do you think of me when you rest your head at night
I lie awake thinking of purpose
If everything is worthless, then maybe we’ll all be alright
The bottles on the shelf from your autumn wedding
They’ve shattered one by one due to the door to the garage slamming shut
Funny how this question arises, does God leave the church after its foreclosure
Then where does she go, where does she go
Do you think of me when you rest your head at night
I lie awake thinking of purpose
If everything is worthless, then maybe we’ll all be alright

Alright, Someday
04:29
|

Nostalgia haunts your brain cause nothing is the same
It hurts to know you can’t get back there to where your comfort reigns
Time and time again, you grow apart from friends
Getting used to loosened ends, it’s part of getting older
Maybe you and I can find a place to hide away
While everyone’s at work or getting drunk on holiday
Maybe you and I can find a place to stay
A place where we feel safe, it’s where our comfort reigns
Lead me away from this darkness baby, I miss missing home on shining days
And take me away from this wretched place, and I will lie forever where you stay
Lead me away from this darkness baby, I miss missing home on shining days
And take me away from this wretched place, and I will lie forever where you stay
I’m gonna wake up feeling alright someday
Do what I can to keep the demons at bay
If I can make it on my own, I won’t need anyone at all
Lead me away from this darkness baby, I miss missing home on shining days
And take me away from this wretched place, and I will lie forever where you stay
Lead me away from this darkness baby, I miss missing home on shining days
And take me away from this wretched place, and I will lie forever where you stay
We’re gonna wake up feeling alright someday
Do what we can to keep the demons at bay
We’re gonna wake up feeling alright someday
Do what we can to keep the demons at bay
If we can make it on our own, we won’t need anyone at all
Jessica, how is your future, we’ll all be alright
Oh Jessica, how is your future, we’ll all be alright
Jessica, how is your future, we’ll all be alright, we’ll all be alright
|

Wake up, there’s a world alive outside, just open up your eyes
We don’t need to hide away this time
No, everything’s alright, and everything will be fine
I’ll loosen my grip from the back of your seat
See if we can get back to who we used to be
I’ll take the train into South Station tonight
We’ll sit around your dinner table and talk all night
And my eyes can’t wait to see yours
Yeah my eyes can’t wait to see your eyes
I believe that we don’t have a need for gods
Yeah I think that all of this is up to us
And we don’t need the world to call us home
Cause this time, if no one is around, we’re not alone
No, we’re never alone
If the fire we build burns out tonight
Will we salvage the embers or leave them behind
Rekindle the flame at a later time, or dwell upon the heat
If you can, will you call
If you can, will you call
If you can, who you pretend to be
Will you call, who you pretend to be
If you can, who you pretend to be
Will you call, who you pretend to be
If you can
