Track Name: Books About Friendship
i look back at the words between us
there weren't many, even before all the shit went down
whatever it was that went down
i shook it off, i stuck around

i looked at us like works in progress
i hated things you did, but you were struggling
and hell i know i struggle too
did you notice? i've got those demons too

the difference is, i am the one who pays the price
for what it takes for me to get by
i do everything not to cross that line
because it means nothing to say your heart's on fire
when you act like it's cold and grey
Track Name: Bridges
You can't burn this bridge
Theres always a way back
You must realize this
You cant leave your past behind
And I know you must move on
And it can't be dwelled upon
But these things live inside you
With your fears they'll know what to do

Unlock this chest filled with everything
But no treasure will be found
You must first sort this out

Tear up old letters
then think about why But
don't bury these ghosts
too deep to find and
leave them close by your side
close by your side

Remember the things that bring you pain
but don't let them monopolize your brain
use them to create new strength
Track Name: Days Without Buildings
Censored. Cyclic and scripted.
Softened. Adjusted. Submissive.

All we have are days like television.

Placid. Patterned and straight.
Pre-approved. Familiar and safe.

All we have are days like television.
Track Name: Small Hands
small hands, you'll have plenty of time
to hide yourself from other people.
seek now some ways to keep inside
some ways to keep things almost right.
there are ways to live alone in crowded rooms -
you'll need to learn them.
loss is a constant part of the games
you're forced to play again

you must not hear what is said
to get to what is meant
taught to move what's in your head
if it doesn't move with them
what's taken out you will put back again

small hands, don't believe the things
you will grow numb to won't affect you
the easy way out's always there to tempt you
it whispers 'if you don't try you cannot be let down'

once in awhile all these thoughts
all these convictions that you keep
that make the little things so hard
bigger things seem out of reach
they all come together,
where you are, why you can't sleep
they get reaffirmed and reasons
turn into something you can see
it all at least makes sense eventually
Track Name: Target Player Takes An Extra Turn After This One
Matthew Circle, searching for purpose
Bug bites and booster packs and biting the concrete facts
Running through forest and not looking behind us

Beginning in Florida
Chasing Philadelphia

Margo Lane, skidding on coaster brakes
Backyard go kart and hockey on roller blades
Running through parking lots and not looking behind us

Beginning in Florida
Chasing Philadelphia

Growing up is gonna take some time
I'm gonna put it off my whole life
