Farewell to you
Congratulations
You got your wishes after all
Goodbye my friends
No consolation
Enjoy the party funeral
If this letter catches you off guard
I've got something in store you won't believe
It's a send off you don't want to miss
Starring me as myself, the killer lead
Don't forget your Sunday best
Farewell to you
Congratulations
You got your wishes after all
Goodbye my friends
No consolation
Enjoy the party funeral
Party funeral
Am I gonna be the talk of town
Or a silence for your deafening?
I hope this ringing never fades away
A gentle reminder of this day
Don't forget your Sunday best
Everyone in black
Farewell to you
Congratulations
You got your wishes after all
Goodbye my friends
No consolation
Enjoy the party funeral
Party funeral
If this letter catches you off guard
I've got something in store you won't believe
Farewell to you
Congratulations
You got your wishes after all
Goodbye my friends
No consolation
Enjoy the party funeral
Farewell to you
Congratulations
You got your wishes after all
Goodbye my friends
No consolation
Enjoy the party funeral
Goodbye my friends

April Doom

If she could only remember
The summer heat
Maybe deathbeds wouldn't chill her bones
Time to surrender the memory
Of a life that's passed us by
Open sky you never felt alive
Hiding above the April doom
Watch the beads collide
Faster and faster
They collect with a sense of urgency
Let the cancer die
What a disaster
And it filled my life with decency, oh no
Just ring the alarm
And close the book
The verses never made much sense to me
An unwelcome melody
Amazing grace
How bittersweet the sound, how bittersweet
Open sky you never felt alive
Hiding above the April doom
You'll find it in a better place
Watch the beads collide
Faster and faster
They collect with a sense of urgency
Let the cancer die
What a disaster
And it filled my life with decency, oh no
I let you in
So let me out
You'll find it in a better place
You'll find it in a better place
Watch the beads collide
Faster and faster
They collect with a sense of urgency
Let the cancer die
What a disaster
And it filled my life with decency, oh no
I let you in
So let me out
I let you in
So let me out
I let you in
So let me out

If I Could

If I could stop myself from hurting, I would
But I can't stop myself from needing
If I could stop myself from lying, I would
But I can't stop hiding who I really am
And I live this life
A life that's not mine
It's one that I love but don't deserve
If I could stop myself from hurting, I would
If you could make me believe you're happy, would you?
If I could make you smile, I wouldn't hate myself
And you live with my lie
A lie that's not yours
It's one that you bear but don't deserve
If I could stop myself from living
If I could stop myself from needing
If I could stop myself
If I could stop myself from lying, I would
But I can't stop hiding who I really am

Thin Air

The greatest misleading
Look at you
Manipulating sleight of hand
A decade of pleasing
To grin and bear
A beautiful deception
Your house of cards it shakes in the wind
And it's starting to fall
You disappeared into thin air
There's no one here to blame
It's a shame you'll miss it all
Fold into a misery
What's the finale?
Who are you?
You traveled north but somewhere gone
I watched the signs
And saw dead ends
But followed suit into the void
Your house of cards it shakes in the wind
And it's starting to fall
You disappeared into thin air
There's no one here to blame
It's a shame you'll miss it all
Fold into a misery
I know, fold into a misery
Your house of cards it shakes in the wind
And it's starting to fall
You disappeared into thin air
There's no one here to blame
It's a shame you'll miss it all
Fold into a misery
If you think I'm searching
Fold into a misery
