I Don't Believe in Ghosts 02:57
lyrics
everybody knows that you can’t afford to buy nice clothes everybody knows that you drank before you went to that show everybody knows everybody knows i don’t believe it, i don’t believe it i don’t believe in ghosts, i don’t believe in the jokes that you try to pass off as believable why can’t you leave it at home you make me miss being alone everybody knows that your new jeans are hanging too low everybody knows that there’s guilt before you’ve crimes to show everybody knows everybody knows i don’t believe it, i don’t believe it i don’t believe in jokes, i don’t believe in the host of the party, who’s telling them watching him embellishing talking the town to fall down it took a lot it took a lot to get me here and now I feel like going home they say that two makes company but you make me think i’m alone your touch feels like standing alone with your voice coming through down the end of the phone i don't believe in ghosts.

Insecurity Song 03:05
lyrics

i don't want to die but i could sleep forever and never wake up feeling better i'm dead at least once a morning can't talk on the phone couldn't even press a number anxious when i'm having fun; i'm dead, you're dead but no one's in mourning yet i have stood outside in the cold waiting for a sign that you're home can't look in the mirror too early in the morning when the day is only dawning i'm scared to look at my face my friends are always leaving like real adult people think of how it makes me feel how dare they grow and mature i have stood outside in the cold waiting for a sign that you're home i'm like a little child waiting for a bit of candy how can anybody stand me? i'll drop dead and hope not to offend i dont want to die at least it would be peaceful death is nothing to some people who cares? i'm not even scared.

The Overwhelming Guilt 02:05
lyrics
old what’s-his-face hasn’t been back to this place for a while i’ve got to say, i needed a break, ‘cause I hate that face and if I’m really being honest I hate this place too old what’s-his-face hasn’t been out of this place for a while he’s on a break, just look at that face, if he keeps it up he’ll never ever leave this place, he’s got a small town fate and I’ve got no shame and I feel no pain as I watch and laugh at every mistake you make every wrong turn you take.

Be Patient 04:06
lyrics
there’s an overspill there’s an oil leak and your tanker looks like a mountain standing on top of a poisoned creek and the people are climbing up to your peak but there’s nothing waiting at the top, no it’s looking quite bleak there’s a fog that surrounds what is left of the dying town and the water was rising before all the fighting broke out with the fistfights in water and the salt on the heath you wouldn’t be far wrong if you said that this town was the sea i said the sun doesn’t seem so hot anymore the trees seem dull, not as bright as before and the water leaks in through the holes in my shoes i can’t shake a cold, and I’m always fucking tired the flood took it all but I’m trying to deny it and the water leaks in through the holes in you just play your part we’ve come this far guess it’s been hard but it’s getting better i said it’s getting better it can’t be fate so adjust your tastes or we can sit and wait for that something better i think i’m getting better i think i’m getting better i think i’m getting better i think i’m getting better.

I'm Going to Die 03:53
lyrics
i’m afraid that i’ll drop dead or i’ll die in my sleep while i’m safe in bed cause of death: something i did when i was ten or maybe i’ll crash driving in a car the furthest that my hands could reach never seemed that far i’ll take my time and learn what my limits are i’m gonna die i’m afraid that i’ll die young or waste my years ‘cause I’m busy having fun hope I’m proud of all the things I’ve said and done i’m afraid that I’ll have fun or that the girl I’ve got might be the one take me home, I don’t want to sleep alone i’m gonna die it’s like my parents said to me there can’t be comedy without tragedy i need to learn that there’s more to this life than me i’m gonna die i’m afraid that you’ll drop dead or i’ll die in my sleep while i’m safe in bed cause of death, something i did when I was ten.

oh, oh, i let you down again i guess that means we’re friends i didn’t mean it, I just forgot again oh, oh, I guess it’s wearing thin i’ll just apologise again and feel bad until the weekend oh, oh, late for work again didn’t make time to eat again they’re going to sack me in the end i feel funny in my chest maybe I need some rest or maybe I’m dying but I can’t be the one to apologise all the time i try and I try but I can’t help but lie i let myself down again it happens nine times out of ten it’s not that bad, it’s not the end oh, oh, i’m your worst best friend stick with me; your heart will tend to break, and if not, bend.

Apology Song 04:01
lyrics
i never took the time to remind you of how we met one night on queen street the three of you were drunk and you sat on a curb and you slurred a compliment to me we sat there talking shit at the people that passed we bussed halfway up queen st we hid up in my room at the YMCA and got high till we fell asleep fell asleep you fell asleep for good fell asleep and with a girl named laura we drank a lot of bourbon and didn’t mind the scenery of sitting in the graveyard and falling over drunk and sleeping there an hour or three we walked out from the city to save on the change we borrowed from your family to get a bit of weed in the garden of eden we showed up at someone’s party i have spent a lot of time arranging how i’d say i’m sorry i don’t know if you did the same maybe it’s not too late maybe i’ll see you next life around but i’m not gonna hold my breath ‘cause there’s no point in us both being dead.

every day is the same it's like groundhog day got a feeling that i'm still living in yesterday everything feels strange and it won't go away i've got a bag of my apologies i'm gonna throw away 'cause it's too late every face is the same i don't know your name got a lovely personality, that's what they say every day is the same with each one more lame every time you try to speak to me i don't know what to say and it's too late every day is the same it's like groundhog day you could call me bill murray but i'm twice as lame every day is the same and everything feels strange every day is the same and everything feels strange every day is the same and everything feels strange and everything feels strange and everything feels strange and everything feels strange.

Skeleton 03:56
lyrics
i waited for an MRI to count the bugs inside my mind the spiders catch the flies but when they die who am I? there’s a skeleton buried underneath my skin i’ve known about it for a long time i don’t know what I am going to do about him there’s a skeleton living underneath my skin you hold my hand and try to say there’s nothing wrong, that I’m okay i hope you’re right but you don’t know how deep the skeleton grows there’s a skeleton living underneath my skin i’ve known about it for a long time i don’t know what I am gonna do about him there’s a skull inside my head skin and bones inside my limbs there’s a tall and creepy skeleton living underneath my skin and i have seen the bones i’ve seen the way it goes my spine is bent and i am just a pile of bones i try to walk but there are cracks inside my bones i’ve seen the bones, I’ve seen my bones i tried to speak but caught my teeth on creatures living in my cheeks the insects have survived but when they die who am i? i’m a skeleton living underneath this skin i’ve thought about it for a long time i don’t know what I would ever do about it there’s a skeleton living underneath my skin

There's Nothing to Hide Anymore 01:49
lyrics
i don’t ever wanna be here when you realise i fucked up again i fucked up again i don’t wanna be here when you notice all the warning signs when there’s nothing to hide anymore i don’t wanna be left sleeping when you wake up to the lights again phone in hand again i wanna be left sleeping when you wake up to the the warning signs when there’s nothing to hide anymore
