Completely Ordinary

Make a new list and then just throw it away
While you stand in your kitchen the whole stupid day
You stare out of the window asking where can you go
The answer is something you already know
There’s no point in guessing how far you’re falling
‘Cause the end is the same
Turn around
Close your eyes
Hold your breath and slowly count down from five
It’s not real
You’re not here
Now convince yourself that everything’s fine
You’re feeling completely ordinary
And nothing’s out of line
La, la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la
The clock is ticking so you start up again
Repeat the whole process and get the same end
Nothing can change and nothing will
Staring at your shadow standing perfectly still
Someone asked once how to keep it together
But it’s really quite clear
Turn around
Close your eyes
Hold your breath and slowly count down from five
It’s not real
You’re not here
Now convince yourself that everything’s fine
You’re feeling completely ordinary
And nothing’s out of line
La, la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

Open the cellar door
Over, out, and in
Do like you did before
Now it can begin
Questions you need to ask
Better left unsaid
Rumors and broken glass
Swim around your head
No more delays
Stick around and see
Get set for your debut
You’re stepping into view
It’s time to make things new
It’s time for your
It's time to make
It's time for your debut
Think of a reason why
Tell yourself it’s true
Straight as the crow should fly
Just enjoy the view
No more decay
Maybe now you’ll see
Get set for your debut
You’re stepping into view
It’s time to make things new
It’s time for your
It's time to make
It's time for your debut
Better than what it seems
More than a pipe dream
Everything’s finally clear
Now the time is near
Get set for your debut
You’re stepping into view
It’s time to make things new
It’s time for your
It's time to make
It's time for your debut

Threat
04:03

Walk inside my heart, inside my heart, you know it's open
Sometimes it's just hard, it's too hard when things get going
I found a hidden devotion
Back when everyone, everyone was gone
I was a sucker in motion
I never knew the thing to do right in front of me
Outside of a singular memory
Those days I'd rather forget
That special promise you made to me
I guess that's what they call a threat
It's funny how things are going right now
Into another dimension
Back where everyone is undone
I was a sucker for attention
Remember when, remember when you were the one?
Right here if you want to come back to me
In fact I never really left
That special promise you made to me
I guess that's what they call a threat
You know, it's funny how things are going right now
Walk inside my heart, inside my heart, you know it's open
Sometimes it's just hard, it's too hard when things get going
Walk inside my heart, inside my heart, you know it's open
Sometimes it's just hard, it's too hard when things get going
Back to my other big question
Remember when you were the one?
I'm always open to suggestion
I'm standing here, waiting here ready to burn some bridges
I'll never hold it against history
These days are all I have left
That special promise you made to me
I guess that's what they call a threat
It's funny how things are going right now

Give Up the Chase
03:47
|

|
Think of the trait you want the most
Picture everything you dream
The hope to which you toast
But is it what it seems?
The top is turning till it spins to a stop
And it doesn’t really matter if the ball doesn’t drop
There’s no way to explain what you want
While ghosts from your past will never give up the haunt
You’re chasing normal, but if you catch it what will you do?
You’re chasing normal but it was always coming for you
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa
Think of the whole new life that waits
You can almost feel it now
The chance to play it straight
Just a question of how
Open every door and swallow your pride
You’ll find your way around if you just give up and hide
Sometimes it might look better if you get up and go
But like every other time you’re asking why you don’t know
You’re chasing normal like it was all that you ever could do
You’re chasing normal instead of chasing something that’s true
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa
You're chasing normal
You're chasing normal
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
Don’t disappear into the fog
Don’t fade away

In the Audio

Upside down, caught up in the audio
I'm underground looking for the radio dial
A while before I get to my feet and start again
Wake up in the town that we used to know
I'm holding out looking for the radio smile
A while before I hear it again
A simple sound
I guess you've heard by now
I guess you've heard by now
Someone, some way, somehow
I guess you've heard by now
You mistreat me
Wonder how anybody ever finds their way back down
Soaring over radio towns
Another way to feel it again
That static shock
I'm upside down, caught up in the audio
I'm hoping now that everything will overflow
Down, down, down
That simple sound
I guess you've heard by now
I guess you've heard by now
Someone, some way, somehow
I guess you've heard by now
You mistreat me
Upside down, caught up in the audio
Alive, alive, it's so alive
Alive, alive, it's so alive

Wanna Whisper
04:06
|

|
I want to ignore it, but it doesn't quit
I want to do more with it, but I'll never benefit
I wanna whisper into your ear
I wanna whisper into your ear
Why would you be for it, when it makes you sick?
That beautiful porcelain baby is a hypocrite
I wanna whisper into your ear
I wanna whisper into your ear
The day's all done when the sun is gone
And the money man stops to play along
That's where the money goes
Step right up, put a penny in the cup
Make a point to appoint a new buddy 'cuz everybody knows
That's where the money goes
I wanna whisper into your ear (it's where the money goes)
Why would you ignore it when it makes rich?
Why would you do more with it when you'll never benefit?
Why would you ignore it when it makes rich?
Why would you do more with it when you'll never benefit?
I wanna whisper into your ear
I wanna whisper into your ear

You. I. We.
03:54

We begin by going over
Little things we did before
We begin by sinking lower
Till we reach the ocean floor
You begin to wonder why
I begin to maybe try
We begin and end up here again
We begin by looking harder
Into problems new and old
We begin by drifting farther
From the stories that we told
You begin to question how
I begin to settle down
We begin by ending here again
We begin by ending here again
Now we're scrolling backwards
Always rolling faster
Chasing people who never were
We're still scrolling backwards
Always rolling faster
Chasing people
Who began and ended here instead
We begin by barricading
Against questions we both know
We begin with silent waiting
Till we both give up and go
You begin to wonder why
I begin to close my eyes
We begin to end it here instead

Telephone
03:46

I’m gonna tell you a secret
That I want you to share
I really need you to listen
And repeat it with care
Right now this message is private
Just between you and me
It’s so important we have to whisper
Hoping it’s correctly received
In this game we tell a tale
One line at a time
There are many ways to fail so
Please just get it right
I put my hands around my lips and speak into your ear
And double check you understand, you hear me loud and clear
And so the story continues
Getting told yet again
Until it finally makes its way back
Right where it began
In this game we tell a tale
One line at a time
There are many ways to fail so
Please just get it right
Every single spoken word
Adds up to a whole
If the message is misheard
Then we missed our goal
I put my hands around my lips and speak into your ear
Now confirm you understand by nodding if it’s clear
Passing notes is well and good but it’s better if you don’t leave a trace
If I could, I surely would choose to use telepathy in this case
As it is this is still the best way
For the message to be conveyed
If you cannot comprehend
Words will start to break and bend
I put my hands around my lips and speak into your ear
And double check you understand, you hear me loud and clear
I put my hands around my lips and whisper in your ear
Now confirm you understand by nodding if it’s clear
I’m gonna tell you a secret
That I want you to share

Just Between the Lines
04:17
|

I swear I don’t think about it anymore
I don’t worry ‘bout it anymore
I’ve closed the door, the crooked lines are rearranging
And I swear I don’t care about it anyway
I don’t dream about it everyday
It’s gone away, the hidden lines regenerating
All those times
Fit inside
Snakeskin eyes
You were out of time
Just between the lines
Snakeskin eyes
Out there, another me and another you
Demonstrate what we’re going through
I never knew what you could do would rearrange me
All those times
Fit inside
Snakeskin eyes
You were out of time
Just between the lines
Snakeskin eyes
Ooh
I never wanna feel it again
I never wanna see you again
These words are true
I guess it doesn’t hurt to pretend
I’ll never keep this up till the end
None of these words are true
None of these words are true
