WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF THEM Choice is a four-letter word Our wild desire, a dumpster fire Trash is a five-letter name, With orange face and plastic fame Cling to the cabaret Burn me in effigy And together, we’ll climb The Hill we’ll die on Choice is a four letter word When pinned beneath the things you cannot Change is a game where we find Another place to look away So skip the eulogy Burn me in effigy And together, we’ll climb The Hill we’ll die on.

GUN WITHOUT A TRIGGER Come now, friend Abandon here what we began Come now, hearts Evangelized by faith departed Now it’s more, Love is not a Game, it’s war. I hope you know what you’re fighting for. I know it’s not for me It’s killing me to be Faithful, faithful Faithful to tainted memories Swing now, chains Rattle free what hate remains Come now, arms Armed with only broken parts We break the spell Your love is not a game, It’s hell. It’s how you taught me to hate myself I know it’s not for me It’s killing me to be… (Gun without a trigger) If we go this deep, If we go this far, If we go this deep, I’ll leave a scar I’ll leave a scar So be still in the grass And watch for, wait for Your game to advance As I fall into your hands. We’re gathered here today To throw it all away. Faithful, faithful Faithful to tainted memories.

ANYONE BUT US Look straight in my face, And know it’s one you’ll someday hate. And after all the wrongs, you’ll Long to never see me again. So be brave in my faith, And know it’s one you’ll someday break (One you’ll someday hate) So sing along, this song is Only getting sadder As it goes. And you’re flattered, So it goes… It’s never been a… Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone But us. Look straight in my face, And see your world before it’s changed. And after long, you’ll long for Nights with fights worth fighting all alone. Draw life from my breath Baby, it’s always life or death And on the line, you’ll wait to Find if I’ve been Seeing someone else in The shape of yourself Wondering how the hell… It’s never been a… Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone But us. I don’t see the harm in it, If we saw the harm in it. And I don’t see the harm in it, After all, you started it… It’s never been a… Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone Mystery to anyone But us. Pretend that we’re friends, And talk shit on way back when. And learn the price of innocence is Never knowing what it costs.

FUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP Trainwreck, don’t flip Before you turn it all to shit It’s dangling too close Never one to hold your tongue Say you’re strong enough Are you strong enough? To keep control, You’re too close Would it hurt? Would it show? Would it kill you to know? Heaven-sent, and hell-bent tonight Would it hurt? Would it show? Do you think they would know That you’re losing control? Shitshow, don’t cry Smiling while the hearse goes by Dying to know If anyone Believes you’re… In control, You’re too close To keep control. Say it, you wanna Say it, you wanna Make it a problem, Say it. But keep control… You know it’s true, you’ll Never keep control.

COMPLICATIONS (of the Modern World) It’s hard to draw a heart Scraping silently, you pick the scars But you can’t pick who you are Trembling fingers point to somewhere far Out of Reach, Out of focus and weak. Shame comes cheap, it seems you’re Suffering from… Complications, Complications Complications (in the modern world) It’s hard to find a heart inside of anything Try to guess the side affects Loss of friends, and shitty sex Complications, Complications Complications (in the modern world) Been learning slowly, To be good is to be lonely It’s going numb, from the Weight of the years yet to come So fuck without feeling, Gone before I was leaving So don’t try to save me, cause baby You don’t know, where I go… When I’m afraid, when I’m alone When I’m afraid, when I’m alone When I’m afraid, when I’m alone Not a hero, I’m just unsung. Not a hero, I’m just unsung. Not a hero, I’m just out here alone (I’m alone) Complications Complications Complications

FOR DEAR LIFE Your eyes are the firing line Your aim’s as good as mine Made weak by time and faith, Our young dreams fallen ill (Keep the crosshairs still) In light of life, in dark of night Will I come alive? In light of life, in the dark of the night Drag on, for dear life. We’re here for dear life Still guilty of killing Christ Embattled and abandoned Damned, we still drag on. (The station of the crossed) In light of life, in dark of night Will I come alive? In light of life, in the dark of the night Drag on, for dear life. The Way of Sorrows is long. So long.
