Intro 00:57
2.
I’ve been a lovesick animal I admit that I love the taste I’ve been a glutton all my life I’ve been a glutton, I’ve been a slave Always hung up on commitment Acting as if it pre-existed You’ve got martyrdom all on your face Holding expectations of a saint You’ve been in lust since I know when When we’re connecting, I am saved I’ve been a lovesick animal I admit that I love the taste I’ve been a lovesick animal
3.
Pinned between four walls, little go-betweens and box-types Learn how to divide, to subtract and how to split ties Pressed to quick goodbyes and left to trace out fence lines Pulled at every side by questions kept box tight To be carried heart side Box-type love, a box-type love Pushed against four walls, little in-betweens and box-types Trace out every scar and pickup after past lives To straighten up enough to commit to being box-types Ask love to build a home from a box with only four sides It doesn't matter the size Box-type love, a box-type love
4.
False-hearted lover won't you lay down in the grass with me, Won't you lay down and be false with me? Cause I know you're false with me when you make promises As testament to your faith in it.
5.
Cut-Outs 03:21
Circumstances now have got you talking in circles. They incriminate your vows and 'x' your eyes And never let you down as they hold you at the throat At the end of every rope, you know What it means to be cut out, cut up, cut off Circumstances now have got you breathing in past tense Retracing your footsteps in hopes you'll find A savior that can tell you if you even have a soul Or a rope on which to hang your hopes Just to find, Just to know You find, you know What it means to be cut out, cut up, cut off
6.
In shifting eyes, varied tones, and repeating sighs We do our best to disguise And convince ourselves that the weight of former offenses Is meant to be held And projected on to someone else with the preferences That we already know Though it seems by nature we agree still we swallow without Saying what is on our minds So we assign names to phrases that we recognize As remainders of our past lives That left the fear if we could ask why And carried us over blurred lines by Gestures and patterns taken out of context
7.
Each and every finger, each and every fist The cause for your addiction Pulling on your bootstraps, coughing up your spit, Face down, in position Come through only backdoors, jumping bed to bed, Skip town before you get committed Each and every finger, each and every fist You got to force-feed the addiction So who's gonna get you off right now? Then who's gonna get you off right now? Then who's gonna get you, Then who's gonna get you off right now? What will it take to get you? Each and every finger, each and every fist The cause for your addiction Blacking both your eyes and cutting at your wrists Swallow the mouthful of conviction Choking on your teeth and wringing out your neck Pack your chest tight with stitches Each and every finger, each and every fist You got to force-feed the addiction So who's gonna get you off right now? Then who's gonna get you off right now? Then who's gonna get you, Then who's gonna get you off right now? What will it take to get you? Each and every finger, each and every fist The cause for your addiction Each and every finger, each and every fist You got to force-feed the addiction
8.
Anonymous girl, I don't have to miss you Anonymous girl, I don't have to answer to Anonymous girl doesn't require attention Anonymous girl doesn't mind rejection And when I think of you it is out of convenience And when I speak of you there's no terms of endearment And when I reach for you it's as if you're an object And when I pocket you, you remain anonymous Anonymous girl doesn't need commitment Anonymous girl doesn't hold importance Anonymous girl can be universal Anonymous girl can be disposed of And when I think of you it is out of convenience And when I speak of you there's no terms of endearment And when I reach for you it's as if you're an object And when I pocket you, you remain anonymous

Fresh Faces 04:41
Every answer taken from behind Every bite taken on the neck Every name written on the chest Every look a side glance Every cheek hard-pressed Every breath held underneath Every inch spread on display Every pause left in between Every smile was painted on Every mouth was made to speak Every tongue was tied in knots Every back was bent to break Every sigh was an alarm Every kiss was a defeat Every wound was filled with salt Every heart was forced to beat
10.
Mincing words before you speak, Wait your turn on hands and knees With both hands tied to both feet Whenever asked, go willingly Whenever asked, go willingly Heavy hands tend to heavy hearts While every effort ends as a false start You can lie or answer honestly Just whenever asked, go willingly Whenever asked, go willingly Whenever asked, go willingly Little switches cut you down to size While distant lovers blindly occupy You can try to separate wants from needs Just spelling words that never keep Spelling words that never keep Mirrors and mouths will always repeat Hearsay and rumors regarding defeat You can try to separate wants from needs Just spelling words that never keep Spelling words that never keep Spelling words that never keep Spelling words that never keep
11.
In Parts 03:33
In parts, in parts, I can only write to you in parts In parts, in parts, I can only sing to you in parts I forget the words, I forget the stories, I forget the pictures But you know me, you know the insides of things about me Your memory is better than mine could ever be In parts, in parts, I can only speak to you in parts In parts, in parts, I can only be with you in parts
