To Towns 03:26
Is it the product of There are few of us In a small town full of believers Twist the mind But don't touch mine I have discovered that they're all deceivers Was it all a dream I thought to myself So are we alone in this desire I wanna see the colors I wanna see the shapes I wanna feel the aura that new brings Is this really what we want Someone else's pick Of what life truly is Maybe Take me to a city where I can sleep Take me to a place where I can see All of the things in life I wanna be I'm taking me

Lay me down and chalk me up as a subject of desire See me there and walk right up, as though I'm worth your while Being grateful's not so breezy, when your painfully aware Of how to discern between what's good or bad or when to even care Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one Normally my thoughts align with feelings of flattery To be heard and not seen first is now the goal that I foresee Feeling stable is now easy, because I'm pleasantly aware And it's clear now who is good and bad and the reasons I should care Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one Sucked into a frame of mind, sucked into a frame of mind since day one Be pretty before you're kind, be yours before I'm mine, since day one

To Burn 03:42
Another thought left behind Another coffee to unwind I see her sit and she smiles They seem happy for a while Maybe they like it that way Maybe they don't but can't stay Maybe I'm insane but who's to say Maybe they like it that way Maybe they don't but can't stay Maybe I'm insane but who's to say How do people only see Things they only want to be Continue the lies inside Only seem happy for a while Maybe they like it that way Maybe they don't but can't stay Maybe I'm insane but who's to say Maybe they like it that way Maybe they don't but can't stay Maybe I'm insane but who's to say How can you be inside When the house is burning down We're all running You're just standing Accepting your demise Maybe you like it that way Maybe you don't but can't stay Maybe you're insane but who's to say
