Final Call 03:27
No more loneliness. No more heavy sighs. No more angry face. No more long and tortured goodbyes. I’ve killed them all. No more people. Waiting for the reaper now to make his final call. I’m no longer there. Haven’t lived or died. I was never here. I was never by your side. I’ve killed you all. No more people. Waiting for the reaper now to make his final call.

Lost Found 04:00
I’m running low, strung out and desiccated, hiding in a hole you somehow infiltrated. But I’ll find a way to escape because I’d rather be alone with myself than alone with you. Of all the worlds we could have co-created, ours is the worst I’d have anticipated. So you know I’ve got to go because I’d rather be alone with myself than alone with you. I’d rather choose my own kind of hell than the hell you do. The heart will want what the heart needs. (I’m the dunce here.) I’ll always be the one who bleeds. (I’m the dunce here.) I made a promise I shall keep in my darkest hour. The one I break will make you weep – you can feel my power. Forgive me for what I must do. (Necessary.) ‘Cause I’d rather be lost in the world than find myself with you. Oh no no. Our ride is done. It’s all been wasted pavement. When I find the sun, I’ll turn back this thing I came in. And you know I’ll make my way because I always find a way.

The Garden 03:10
Oh my love, you wait for me in the garden. The garden is full of people. People don’t like me and I don’t like them. Oh my love, you wait for me in the garden. The garden is growing time. Time don’t like me and I don’t like it. Oh my love, you wait for me in the garden. The garden is full of people. People don’t like me and I don’t like them. The garden is wasting time. Time don’t like me and I don’t like it. The garden is growing time. Time don’t like me and I don’t like it. Oh my love, you wait for me in the garden. The garden!

Scroll Out 03:09
I wanna die a little every day, so I can watch my life scroll out before my face, remember all the reasons why I stay, and better how to get out of this place. Don’t take the pain away from me. I said don’t take the pain away from me. The suffering was always meant to be a way to not forget how to be free. It’s the form that gives us freedom. It’s the pain that gives us joy. It’s the weakness gives strength for a boy to love a boy or girl, and a girl to love a girl or boy. If you are one of those who can’t believe that only true connectors will achieve the uplift in a life that’s filled with grief, then baby take your cardboard box and leave. I want to die a little every day, so I can watch my life scroll out before my face, remember all the reasons why I stay, and better how to get out of this place.

We shared a kiss beneath the sky of blue. We promised faithfully that we would be true, but now I’m lonely. I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all. You held me tight, and said I love you so. We kissed goodnight, you’d never let me go, but now I’m lonely. I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all. You saw me with another girl. You thought I’d been untrue. But I was only telling her how much I love you. I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all. Lonely….
