1.	I.S.Y.Y.I.Y.S.M.M. 05:36	lyrics
Somewhere, someone's keeping a list Of every moment I'm meant to regret Of every scar I'm meant to remember Of every regret I'm meant to forget Somewhere, someone's keeping a list Of every time I'm meant to be better Of every moment I'm meant to forget Of every time you blame me for it Blame me for your lack of sleep Blame me for your lack of dreams Blame me for giving up Blame me for your fucking reason Blame me for your jealousy Blame me for your discomfort Blame me for everything Blame me for everything Somewhere, someone's taking risks I can't blame them for this I can't blame them for trying to save me from this I can't keep them to myself, I can't keep it to myself Blame me for your lack of sleep Blame me for your lack of dreams Blame me for giving up Blame me for your fucking reason Blame me for your jealousy Blame me for your discomfort Blame me for everything Blame me for everything I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this I think there's an end to this

4.	Blame the Child 04:04	lyrics
Condemn the children Blame the child For sins not yet committed Fear is the only thing we believe in Fear is the only reason I believe If god is there, This is not what it wants If god is there, It would be ashamed If god is there, This is not what we want If god is there, We should be ashamed Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all I forgive you Exploiting my good nature I forgive you Exploiting my vulnerability I forgive you Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all Damn them all and fuck it all Damn this all and fuck you all
5.	See Me Light Up 04:28	lyrics
I am myself something new If I stare long enough, I transform But there's no mirror here And there's no fear here There's no mirror here And there's no fear here I'm a lot less open than I think I am I think I know myself better than most do Most do It's true I'm a little bit weary these days But nothing feels better Than when I'm myself with myself I'm a lot less broken than I think I am I think I know that look on your face better than you do Most do I can care a little more than I used to But nothing feels better Than when you're yourself with myself Don't look at me that way Yes, that way Don't think of me that way Yes, that way Don't look at me that way Yes, that way Don't think of me that way Yes, that way I'm a lot less open than I think I am I think I know myself better than most do Most do It's true I'm a little bit weary these days But nothing feels better Than when I'm myself with myself
6.	Nopulse (Bonus Track) 03:46
7.	Places in This World I Don't Know 07:01	lyrics
There are people in this world who will hurt me There are people in this world who will mold me There are people in this world who will shape me Into something I never wanted to be There are people in this world who will break me There are people in this world I can blame There are people in this world that make it easier To shed any responsibility for myself There are people in this world who will cure me There are people in this world who will fuck me There are people in this world who take away the pain Of exploring my fears and regrets There are places in this world I can go There are places in this world to be left alone There are places in this world I don't know I may never see them and may never care There are places in my mind I can go There are places in my mind to be left alone There are places in my mind I don't know That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am That explain why I am the way I am

Tongueless Chicago, Illinois

First a shiver, than a rustle of leaves. I smell wormwood and ash and am immediately reminded of that place- the one I worked so hard to leave behind. I stagger backward, stumbling on the roots, intoxicated with the smell.

And then I see you.

I am at once filled with sound and absolutely quiet. Just as it should be- the violent sound of the desperate; the utterance of the toungeless. ... more
