--- i think i'm through with these thrills, unlabeled bottles of pills i'm done with all of these thrills, ok my behavior is a shame, don't we both like me this way? but now it's time for a change, i'm done -- with nothing at all done with nothing at all i punch the wall, break my hand, run my phone gigs over plan it's time to quote "be a man", it's time to realize i want more than all my neighbors afford i'm done with not keeping score, i'm done -- with nothing at all done with nothing at all and in the morning i'll get up and i'll find something to do get on xanax, plan my exit out of bed before noon it's just that everytime i find out you have somewhere to be i'm hoping somehow some day that something will somewhat be me done with nothing at all. ---

--- i place my doubts in the moon, in the sun, anything that orbits us you tell me every sinner's got a future, but i'm stuck in the past because maybe if i sin enough, i can get him to show up god won't find you, god won't find you here why must i destroy myself to find out if there's a hell god won't find you, god won't find you here all these things i stole from thee, hide them offshore, overseas god won't find you, god won't find you here a million people come up short when you swore to fix the herd god won't find you, god won't find you here if it's an eye for an eye, then the blind lead the blind, you'll fall apart the water tastes funny now, i wonder how it'll come to stop my beating heart chorus maybe i'll open a vein just to finally join the ranks god won't find you, god won't find you here all this blood could fill a room but surely none of it's on you! god won't find you, god won't find you here!! chorus ---

white walls 03:56
--- the cup has overflown and stained all of your white walls and now i have to reconcile that all of this is my fault it's got you by the wrist, the trap i love to fall for and now i'm not alone -- but now you feel farther i'm getting used to less, i'm kneeling at your altar i'll hold on to your wrist, i'll clean all of your white walls. ---

--- prone to self-destruction, i prefer to use my slipping time with all of my broken repetitions, all my broken thoughts and failed crimes all the pain i've known i have taught myself prone to self-destruction, prone to broken thoughts and failed crimes angels sing a song of restitution, why don't i feel like i can trust them? and you never offer resolution -- you're my patron saint of self-destruction! repetition leading to pollution, i can feel the filth on my skin again but you never offer a solution -- you're my patron saint of self-destruction! i don't need permission, i don't want your gifts or need your time everytime they're paired with the conditions of a patron saint that isn't mine waiting for the fall, is it time? prone to self-destruction, prone to broken thoughts and failed crimes chorus out of purpose, out of season men have fell for lesser reasons i just need to put my faith in my patron saint of self-destruction the pain i have known is all my own. ---
