"You Were Imperfect"

You thought you were perfect

But bruised ego aside,

You complicated everytjing

Making me want to hide,

I screamed from my lungs

Eager to please and let go,

Who once was part of my arrow

Is now loose into the flow,

Incomplete delusions here

I feel so very unsafe now,

Unraveling by your design

I only question how,

You peaked my curiousity

And wound up hurting it all,

Who am I, now a shell of a man

Who am I, the remnants from the fall.

"Lust"

Lust lost amongst the stare

Wishing you would care,

Wanting you to feel

Pushing what is real,

Nothing helps the thrill

Held against my will,

I want you to want me

I want you to breathe.

I want you to breathe.

Breathe the lust into me.

"Crumbling Structures"

I think I've grown complacent

By years of this place getting me down,

The sirens always blarring

The desolate sights rotting the ground.

I think maybe it's engraved

In every stressed out, broken resident,

Drugs only fuel the hunger more

And a government who loves the ignorant.

(Chorus)

Are you feeling the effects,

Of the crumbling structures falling down?

Are you feeling the anger,

Swept under the rug, pushed down?

I think I'm inclined towards

Making a break from these chains,

All the collapse here waiting

Everything remains the same, isn't it insane?

I think maybe it's engraved

In every stressed out, broken resident,

Drugs only fuel the hunger more

And a government who loves the ignorant.

(Chorus)

Are you feeling the effects,

Of the crumbling structures falling down?

Are you feeling the anger,

Swept under the rug, pushed down?

"36"

(Verse one)

Do you suffer from manic depression

some kind of addiction keeping you down?

Is there some sort of social anxiety creeping in

Beating and beating you into the ground?

Nobody to talk to and feeling like an outcast

There's always stress weighing you down,

The social anxiety doesn't seem to go away

It's beating and beating you into the ground...

(Chorus)

Sure being 13 sucks

But being older isn't a picnic either,

You get tired for no reason

And arthritis doesn't help us neither...

Sure being 16 is kind of a drag

But adulting comes with so much pressure,

You get bills in the mail and shut off notices

It's more than just drugs and girls...

(Verse two)

Verse two, same as the first a little bit louder

And much, much worse...

Do you suffer from manic depression

some kind of addiction keeping you down?

Is there some sort of social anxiety creeping in

Beating and beating you into the ground?

Nobody to talk to and feeling like an outcast

There's always stress weighing you down,

The social anxiety doesn't seem to go away

It's beating and beating you into the ground...

(Chorus)

Sure being 13 sucks

But being older isn't a picnic either,

You get tired for no reason

And arthritis doesn't help us neither...

Sure being 16 is kind of a drag

But adulting comes with so much pressure,

You get bills in the mail and shut off notices

It's more than just drugs and girls...

"TV For Shut-Ins"

(verse one)

I'm staring at the TV, like a zombie

Because I'm a shut in and nobody likes me,

I get bored with people, but not "Elementary"

Because at least Sherlock Holmes

doesn't pull any punches...

I'm watching reruns on Hulu, like a junkie

Because I'm addicted and nobody likes me,

I get tired of people, but never "X-Files"

Because at least with Mulder and Scully

there's intense sexual tension...

(chorus)

But, whatever,

Let me reconnect with my shows,

Because I don't need drama in stereo,

People bitching and moaning everyday,

Television never lets me down...

(verse two)

I'm staring at the TV, like a zombie

I get bored with people, but not "Elementary"

Because at least Sherlock Holmes

doesn't pull any punches...

I'm watching Netflix, and I'm chilling

Because this is the only way I'm dealing,

I get angry, never with "It's Always Sunny"

Because at least with the gang

theres no fakeness going on...

(chorus)

But, whatever,

Let me reconnect with my shows,

Because I don't need drama in stereo,

People bitching and moaning everyday,

Television never lets me down...

(bridge)

Forget the pressure

of a stupid and frustrating world,

Another episode of "Suburgatory,

Followed by "Boy Meets World,"

Because I am bored with reality...

But I'm never bored with my TV...

(chorus)

But, whatever,

Let me reconnect with my shows,

Because I don't need drama in stereo,

People bitching and moaning everyday,

Television never lets me down...

"Under The Magnifying Glass"

(verse one)

Everything was getting insincere,

I used to hide behind all the fear.

Waiting for it all to just adhere,

Before the moments all changed gears.

(verse two)

Who are we to let it all disappear,

And let the outside noise interfere?

Isn't it the point to learn to persevere,

While standing in front of the same old mirror?

(chorus)

We are like ants, marching single file

Same old pattern, never cracking a smile,

Pretending that life, isn't bringing us down

Inside we are crumbling into the ground... (2x)

Pretending that life, isn't bringing us down
