Nostalgia 03:28
Nostalgia in your home town Is the drug I wish they sold It warms my blood at the moment Never feeling old And you will need binoculars to see how far we’ve come I’m laughing at myself and all the fronts that we put on And it feels like for the first time You know where you should be Your friend back from school Thinking I’m a fool with no ambition Because I don’t know the capitol of the state that he lives in And I’m spending so much time cherishing the arts That I haven’t’ spoken to you in a while But you know that I know where you are And it feels like For the first time You know where You should be You know Where you should be For the first time I know exactly where you are

Cat's Game 04:57
Playing in the Cat’s Game Trying to learn the ways I’m fed up with my landlord Seems to own the days I’m working in the factory Making pennies to throw away Keep your eyes right ahead Keep reality at bay Because I’m just the ordinary At the wishing well, the wishing well, Trying to find more meaning In this fairy tale the people sell Playing in the Cat’s Game You never say what you think My generation’s quick to judge Innocuous, anonymously And I watch you fight your war on terror I said it’s hard looking deep down in the mirror Because we’re just the ordinary At the wishing well, the wishing well, Trying to find more meaning In this fairy tale the people sell I’m just the ordinary At the wishing well, the wishing well, Trying to find more meaning In this fairy tale the people sell I can never wake you up You’re just too intoxicated I can never wake you up You’re just too intoxicated Because we’re just the ordinary At the wishing well, the wishing well, Trying to find more meaning In this fairy tale, the people sell Throwing everything I have To the wishing well, the wishing well, Trying to find more meaning In this fairy tale that I would sell Everything you have

Easy Village 04:10
Because at this age it's okay I've got a bartenders wage I'll say That the weekends they'll repeat Why have a life when it's a part time thing It's plain to see in everyone The midnight retreats To the sun Denial is easy, I hear you say People are just people We're the... Young nothings sitting comfortably in the shade "Independently wealthy" it's a line they rehearse to say Because we're following the paper trails to the pretty hearts Without a wonder where, where they really are Following the paper trails to the pretty hearts Without a wonder where, where they really are Are they all the same looking for a last name? But it's plain to see in everyone The midnight retreat To the sun Denial is easy and I hear you say People are just people we're the Same, Same, Insane Because we're following the paper trails to the pretty hearts Without a wonder where, where they really are Following the paper trails to the pretty hearts Without a wonder where, where they really are Are they all the same looking for a last name?

Walls 04:20
Maybe I’m just another boy Looking for something to fill the void Directionless in a teenage dream You’re feeling old when you realize nothing’s as it seems And I don’t blame you for building walls when the men make it easy But don’t you dare trap yourself inside Because they jump the gun and take a bullet to be loved by someone You hate the world but then you compromise Sometimes I get defensive When I believe in something or someone The world is starved for attention But fuck them all I give it you just to prove... That I’ve got a girl that makes me feel like man God damn She becomes a part of me something that I didn’t think I needed I sit with her and I watch the neighborhood changing And they sell it to me it’ll never be as good as your “good old day” Forget your “good old days” It’s funny how the bad never seemed so bad when looking back My memory dulls, I get a little sentimental I jump the gun, take a bullet to be to be loved by someone I hate the world but I compromise to be one on one with you Sometimes I get defensive When I believe in something or someone The world is starved for attention So fuck them all I give it you just to prove... Sometimes I get defensive When I believe in something or someone The world is starved for attention But fuck them all I give it you just to prove... All the coy fish in the pond I know what you are How’d they get their name and live so long I know what you are I know what you are I know what you are I know what you are I know what you are I know what you are

Straight forward Easily amused The cards we play where a spade is a spade And you know that We hate cliches like the color jade's the new black But she feels fat in a size zero All the scared obsessed with super heroes But you sway towards the villain Because they're not afraid of their own Vision And they're Straight Forward But you never see it grow Like the mold in the walls The nights where your young and the days where your old The free and the dumb and the freedom to waste Time thinking about time I've got a wandering eye In the sky For the people inside Are wondering why I'm not Straightforward What are you really trying to prove? With the sarcastic tone you default to? I can see when you're trying to hide You play this song on the stereotype For The People Inside For The People Inside For The People Inside For The People Inside For The People Straight Forward
