My name’s a word that cannot be said My name’s the thought that whispers inside your head And if you heard it, you’d wish you were dead The memory will haunt you beyond your deathbed Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> I’ve been waiting since before the stars were born I existed in the exhale when the universe was torn My essence lurks inside the storm’s deadly churn If you want to summon me, well, first be forewarned Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Below the sea, I’m lurking Behind your eyes, I’m hiding Below the sea, I’m lurking Behind your eyes, I’m hiding Below the sea, I’m lurking Behind your eyes, I’m hiding Ohhhhhh Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech> Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Hello My name is <screech>
2.	VVaves 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Adrift in the endless cold And I'm never coming home Spiders crawling in my bones As I float in this space I’ve never felt so alone The pendulum swings low I start sinking like a stone It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves I used to hold on to such hope Where did it all go? Faint terror starts to grow And I wonder if I'm cursed Caught in the undertow Dragged to the depths below The dark and the unknown Fear grips and takes a hold Swallows it all whole Devouring the soul And I think all is lost What remains is a ghost An echo off the coast Shadows in the endless cold It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves Waves
3.	Cardboard Azaleas 07:03	lyrics	buy track
Imperfect little world, all the crushing weight An elephant upon my chest; a simple lack of grace I've forgotten how to cry, feeling so dead inside It's an awaiting tragedy, a future just waiting me You don't know what I'm going through And if you did, you wouldn't care You're only the ghost of a friend Imaginary, play pretend Headaches and heartbreaks, and all the day's sorrows Seeps deep into my bones; kills any hope of sleep Kills any serene dreams; depression, a textbook case Chasing down a piece of hope that's always out of reach You don't know what I'm going through And if you did, you wouldn't care You're only the ghost of a friend Imaginary, play pretend I am adrift in the ocean I am lost to the waves Treading water til tomorrow Praying for a better day You don't know what I'm going through And if you did, you wouldn't care You're only the ghost of a friend Imaginary, play pretend
4.	House Red 03:05	lyrics	buy track
I was born with blackeyes; learned how to take the pain And dream it’s love, until I can believe That the lies will keep me warm, bandages can hide the scars Every beating I take is a piece of your heart Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood I’m full of mistakes; you are quick to judge I shy away from conflict and you need it like a drug I pretend the bruises are your artistic masterpiece This is how you show you care, by making me bleed Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood I’m sorry that I stepped out of line I’m sorry that I stepped out of line I’m so sorry that I stepped out of line I’m sorry that I stepped out of line Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood Paint the house red Paint the streets red Paint the town red There’s so much blood There’s so much blood
5.	Lost Cause 02:20	lyrics	buy track
Long after you're dead They'll call you by your husband's name And what was buried in faith Will become a symbol of pride When it should be our greatest shame You buried him You didn't need a man The faithful slaves dug his grave, and everybody knows his name Picture of a Lost Cause Alone behind enemy lines And if you only knew what fruit your tree of lies would bear Would you keep it to yourself, or would you choose to share You buried him You didn't need a man The faithful slaves dug his grave, but nobody knows your names Some dude wrote a poem about it He wasn't even there Another dude painted a picture of it He wasn't even there Mary, oh Mary, you did what you had to do And Catherine, oh Catherine, you did what you had to do You buried him You didn't need a man The faithful slaves dug his grave, but nobody knows their names You buried him You didn't need a man The faithful slaves dug his grave, but nobody knows your names The faithful slaves dug his grave, and everybody knows his name
6.	My Apocalypse 05:40	lyrics	buy track
Waiting for the moon to fall Tired of sleeping alone It feels like the end of the world Been lonely for too long An aching in my bones Her name still on my mind Haunted by these regrets Wishing she were still mine What does it take To ever let her go What does it take To finally move on What does it take To make it through This winter (this winter) I haven't been sleeping Hiding from the memories Feel myself breaking Heartache like a disease If I die tonight It's with her name on my lips And if I survive It's still my apocalypse What does it take To ever let her go What does it take To finally move on What does it take To make it through This winter (this winter) Cold as the grave Fighting through the pain Feel so lonely I could die Never been so low Lost out in the snow Feel so lonely I could die Cold as the grave Fighting through the pain Feel so lonely I could die Feel so lonely I could die Feel so lonely I could die I could die I could die
7.	Dearest Catastrophe 04:19	lyrics	buy track
The things you do for love Thread the borderline The passion that you feel Disregards my life I was a fleeting moment That fed your appetite Dreams of permanent winter I barely cross your mind I barely cross your mind Dearest catastrophe, We can’t work it out Your flesh and blood Someone you don’t care about Earthquake nights Always leave aftershocks Brand new mistakes When does the hurting stop Soft white whispering You never hear me cry Alone in my room When the consequence arrives When the consequence arrives Dearest catastrophe, We can’t work it out Your flesh and blood Someone you don’t care about Familiar eyes You refuse to recognize A momentary distraction Love never was an option Dearest catastrophe, We can’t work it out Your flesh and blood Someone you don’t care about Someone you don’t care about Someone you don’t care about Someone you don’t care about
8.	Never Knew The Guy 04:40	lyrics	buy track
I heard you were a gin drinker who liked to play cards Had a penchant for blondes and vintage cars Heard you threw a mean right, had an eagle tattoo And every day my mother says I look just like you, just like you That's the story they tell me Since you took off one night They tell me about my father But I never knew the guy That's the story they tell me Since you took off one night They tell me about my father But I never knew the guy You were a varsity jock Who listened to punk Couldn't hold a job Cause you never gave a fuck Heard you had a temper And I have your eyes Heard you loved my mother And your mistress on the side, on the sly That's the story they tell me Since you took off one night They tell me about my father But I never knew the guy That's the story they tell me Since you took off one night They tell me about my father But I never knew the guy Water broke on prom night, and you didn't stick around You send post cards from a hundred different towns Heard I have a sister, hope you treat her well But as for you, you can go to hell Go to hell That's the story they tell me Since you took off one night They tell me about my father But I never knew the guy "Fuck that guy."
9.	The I's Have It 03:49	lyrics	buy track
I'm trying to be less childish I'm trying to be less churlish I'm trying not to cling to grudges Prying them from my cold dead clutches Second person, second nature My words someone else's mouth Can’t tell the difference between us two I’m trying to stop hiding behind you Maybe this is the year the I's have it Unfurling like a fucking flower Maybe this is the year the I's have it Exploding like a fucking bomb, like a bomb, like a bomb Clinging to an imagined grievance Pushing against false impedance I’m using opaque language As my camouflage, my sabotage Here’s a hint - I know nothing Pretending to, I’m only bluffing Filling in the blanks inside my brain Trying to hide from your disdain Maybe this is the year the I's have it Unfurling like a fucking flower Maybe this is the year the I's have it Exploding like a fucking bomb, like a bomb, like a bomb Maybe this is the year the I's have it Unfurling like a fucking flower Maybe this is the year the I's have it Exploding like a fucking bomb, like a bomb, like a bomb
10.	It Was, It Wasn't 02:46	lyrics	buy track
Summer blood, happened so fast The sweetest lies just weren’t meant to last And every night, poltergeist So many mistakes in my past Pitchforks and your torches aflame Who’s gonna accept all this blame Proclivity for broken dreams It’s all been a part of the game Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Never is a promise you keep to yourself Not gonna buy another lie that you sell Go-getter in a too-tight sweater Someone’s going straight to hell Monsters we drink to forget The truth perceived as a theat I was a fool caring for you Pale rider on a horse of regret Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t I wanna know how do you sleep Sins hidden in your dirty sheets Dressed up in make believe If I’m a liar, you’re a thief I wanna know how do you sleep Sins hidden in your dirty sheets Dressed up in make believe If I’m a liar, you’re a thief It wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t Whatever it was, it wasn’t It was a mistake It was a mistake It was a mistake It was a mistake
11.	One Day My Crush Will End 03:30	lyrics	buy track
The clock will never stop All the photographs are fading A house full of phantoms I think I hear my name A sky full of acid rain And a blight on the sun I never saw it coming Like the bullet from your gun One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end The clocks strike thirteen All the streets are bleeding The air smells of smoke I'm having trouble breathing Speckles of crimson The faintest of echoes Twisted in nightmare They never let me go One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end Dead letter romance (dead letter romance) We had our last dance (had our last dance) Slivers of moonlight (slivers of moonlight) We had our last chance (had our last chance) Gunpowder embrace (gunpowder embrace) Still look on your face (Still look on your face) I hold it in memories (hold it in memories) That trap me in place (trap me in place) One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end One day my crush will end
12.	Where the Sidewalk Ends 05:34	lyrics	buy track
Listen up children, I have a sad tale to tell About the man who owned the place where music used to dwell He wanted to be richer; we knew there'd come the day When he would turn to us and this is what he'd say This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends He sold it to two ladies who thought they knew it all They took it down and wrecked it, down to the very walls And when they opened up again, it had lost all of its soul He sold it out from under us for a price in gold This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends Gone, all gone Gone, all gone Gone, all gone The moral of this story is that they can steal our space Erase all our history; everything that had a face Turn it from a monument into just another dive But Sidewalk is dead, and we're still alive This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends This is where the Sidewalk ends
13.	The Hall of Truth 06:54	lyrics	buy track
When the feather and your heart are weighed On the scales in the afterlife All the wrongs you've ever done All the times you hurt someone Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free In your last dying moments Your life flashes before your eyes All the lifting, saving grace Was all your kindness saving face Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Hawk-headed Horus Ibis-headed Thoth Lion-headed Sekhmet Dog-headed Anubis When you’re standing in the Hall of Truth, How heavy is your jealous heart For all the acts you thought were right, It’s oversights that haunt your nights Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Are you good enough to be free Hawk-headed Horus, I offer up my body Ibis-headed Thoth, I give you my shadow self Lion-headed Sekhmet, have my human-headed bird Dog-headed Anubis, hear my secret name Hawk-headed Horus Ibis-headed Thoth Lion-headed Sekhmet Dog-headed Anubis Hawk-headed, Ibis-headed, Lion-headed, Dog-headed Hawk-headed Horus Ibis-headed Thoth Lion-headed Sekhmet Dog-headed Anubis Hawk-headed Horus Ibis-headed Thoth Lion-headed Sekhmet Dog-headed Anubis Hawk-headed Horus Ibis-headed Thoth Lion-headed Sekhmet Dog-headed Anubis
