Circa Survive Album

Don't say a word, don't be grateful if I ever made you laugh.
Let's make believe what's at stake here's more than just your reputation.
She's got the photos but no recollection.
He's got the motive but no transportation.
Purely courteous across my chest.
Are you cutting me out now, after crawling inside?

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

Will you walk straight, not like them.
To fool them in, make it seem like you're in trouble.
Make a sound, fake it enough.

"What made you so scared?"
Maybe you're mistaken for someone who cares.

If you remember, remember,
I've been trying to get back to the center.
I'm sure it's not like it was before.

To make them drink, tell them that it's only water
No one leaves 'till we figure this out

"What made you so scared?"
Maybe you're mistaken for someone who cares.

If you remember, remember,
I've been trying to get back to the center.
I'm sure it's not like it was before.

Patience,
Both we and our words are over produced by influence.
Patience,
Both we and our words are over produced by influence.

I'm only asking:
If you remember, remember,
I've been trying to get back to the center.
I'm sure it's not like it was before.

Alter and teach the ages.
Nothing you love lasts too long.
A marvelous calm, abandoned in the stages of
birth mother vs. the mid wife.
Who'll tell the children about her life?

That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.
That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.

What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...
Anything expected of you now,
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...

I'd place my bet down now, you'll be the first one to sell me out

That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.
That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.

What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...
What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn, it's obvious.
What brought you back to this place?
What brought you back to this place?

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.

I know what it feels like
giving into something you don't understand

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.

Walk into the light,
giving into something you don't understand.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.

Calcium waste, litter and falling like icicles.
Calcium waste, litter and falling like icicles.
Guess who's next?
You're just as guilty as them.

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact

Can we last through the winter?
The water's starting to freeze.
The only one who remembers
Taking the wrong step, falling in front of me.
This body's already aging.
These nights are all ready long.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.

Congratulations, go home now.

Will we last through the winter?
Will we make it to see?
I never wanted a partner and I never loved you,
Now you are free to leave.
This heart is already frozen,
I can't remember to fall.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.

Congratulations, go home now.

It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.

It must be buried under the heart
That makes this pace consistent.
You'll find it torn, that gate's been opened?
I've been wondering if you've been real with us.

It's too late
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.

It's start, stop and go you've been dying for, you've been dying for.

Make your move, obvious humor,
desperate and respiratory plight.
Always on, dressed to impress,
I'll be the last one to find out why.

Time takes its toll on us (this changes everything).
I'd be a liar if I denied you at all.
Oh, now that I know,
This changes everything.

I've been trading ideas with intriguing men, and I...
I perceive an honest solution to all of your plight

Time takes its toll on us (this changes everything).
I'd be a liar if I denied you at all.
Oh, now that I know,
This changes everything.
Oh, now that I know...
Oh, now that I know...

And the amplifier screams out loud for the last time.
Wave your hands at the audience as you sink on in.
First chance to hide, you need desperately so, find me, so.

Motion gives up on you in the end.
I'll try my best to be home by then.
You'll see the grace we had,
She'll never have,
You'll never have.

I'm going home but my own way.
I'm going home by my own...
I'm going home but my own way.
I'm going home by my own..

I would really love if you'd sit him down.
I would really love if you'd sit him down.
I would really love if you'd pull this thread.
I would really love if you'd pull this thread.
I would really love if you'd sit him down.
I would really love if you'd sit him down.
I would really love if you'd pull this thread
I would really love if you'd pull this thread

Don't be alarmed, I feel we're falling back to ground.
Don't be afraid, I hear in every word they say,
That even if you don't look back, be sure to find out who was there,
And what they wore, and ten more reasons.
Don't be alarmed, I feel we're falling back to ground

Your face is light and cocaine white.
Your face is light and cocaine white.

Misleading at most, I'm supposed to imposter a new you.
And even if you're woken up, keep contact both at once.
We've made mistakes like this.
And I'm just learning.
And I'm just learning.
(Your face is white in spinning lights).

Spinning lights, don't be scared.
You have given so much more
Spinning lights, take me there.
He has risen, pull me under.

Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
This operation's been abandoned once again.
This operation's been abandoned once again.

Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.
Cut me gently, cut me out...
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.

Spinning lights, don't be scared.
You have given so much more
Spinning lights, take me there.
He has risen, pull me under.

Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
This operation's been abandoned once again.
This operation's been abandoned once again.

Cut me gently, cut me out...
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.

Lost in a haunting thought, spinning me around once more.
I wake just to feel the way as the daylights comes around,
I turn with my eyes are on the backdoor.

Your face is light and cocaine white.
One message beating through.

Smoke's filled the air and m struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.
Everything you intended to say,
Don't go back on your words.
You always said you'd tell me first.

Verse after endless verse, I can't escape the echoed words.
I long to find a cure for the feeling I find in these chords.
I smile as it burns.

Your face is light and cocaine white.
One message beating through.

I've been erased.
I've been erased from the picture.
Excuse, oh no, anything goes.
Excuses, you know it doesn't work.
Excuse, oh no, anything goes.
Excuses don't work.
Excuse me, this will calls out desperate end.
Excuse me, this will calls out desperate:

Smoke's filled the air and m struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.
Everything you intended to say,
Don't go back on your words.
You always said you'd tell me first.
Smoke's filled the air and m struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.

Didn't I know you, mystery man?
Strange as all new thoughts on impotence.

All I want are windows
It wouldn't be the first time.

Didn't I, didn't I know you?
Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you?
All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings.
All along, we've been a mess.
Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.

A stranger's just someone that you've forgotten.
How will we know if we've met before or done this dance,
Mystery man?

Didn't I, didn't I know you?
Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you?
All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings.
All along, we've been a mess.
Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.

Borders that we say are policing you back to their arms.
Tension to take, pills that'll make you fell higher inside.

Do you often look back on us, feeling confidently?
Would it make any difference if I wasn't late,
Or I'd been too angry to show?

The sovereign statement's wrong.
It's a bylaw and a valiant one
To honor hopeful thoughts.
It's the talent, not the promo shots

Story has shown you all felt alone.
Story has shown you all felt alone.
Even if... if the sound it makes when it's tightening,
Sweet winding up of a mandolin hurts your fingers

And you try to hold on but it's not quite working.
This reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree.

Story has shown you all felt alone.
Story has shown you all felt alone.
Even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore,
Still we grow.
Still we grow.
Even if it reminds the sounds you always used to make.

Leave just as you came (without a sound),
Nothing to ruffle your ends.

I've been wandering around,
Making up movies in my head
So we say don't let it go,
let me try and pull out pride.
I already forget how I used to feel about you

Leave as fast you came, no invitation
Nowhere to go from here.

I've been wandering around,
Wondering how I got so, got so, so fucking boring
All the sudden, so fucking scared... I'm not scared.
You'd mean so much more to me if I remembered.
