Check her for advice like she’s still living
Never meet your heroes, that’s a given
I get it - just gonna make it up
I get it - maybe I’m fake enough
Ask him how he lives with the decision
Though I see the mark for the incision
Almost like it’s better to just keep on sinking
I prefer to play stupid games, not to win ‘em
I put all my money in to burning bridges
No matter what you hit me with I don’t how to listen
I wish a motherfucker would
Tell me how to be the man I should
Cause I’m only biting dirty hooks
I wish something would make me good
Every story that I like’s a fairytale
Where everything’s a broken hammer
And I’m a nail
I get it - just gonna make it up (cause I think that’s what we’re doing)
I get it - maybe I’m fake enough (there’s not a god damn thing to it)
Almost like it’s better to just keep on sinking
I prefer to play stupid games, not to win ‘em
I put all my money in to burning bridges
No matter what you hit me with I don’t how to listen
I wish a motherfucker would
Tell me how to be the man I should
Cause I’m only biting dirty hooks
I wish something would make me good
Hold me like your face, oh oh
Run me like a game, oh oh
I can read the words, I can hear the song
But there are still so many ways to play it wrong
I wish something would make me good

Fault Lines

So cute - how she reminds us
Mistakes - soon will define us
No I don't believe it
'Cause I don't need it
Tell me - best joke you heard since
'Cause mine's burning up my lips
I don't need to fight it
'Cause I don't need it
'Cause I don't need it
'Cause I don't need
My face, it cracks like fault lines
My heart, it beats double time
And if I could, I would cut this scene so you could see
But I can't even lie to you
I waste all the good ones on me
I waste all the good ones on me
Someday I'll kick and I'll scream
When they break in to get me
I had all the chances
But I like sure things
'Cause I don't need it
'Cause I don't need
My face, it cracks like fault lines
My heart, it beats double time
And if I could, I would cut this scene so you could see
But I can't even lie to you
I waste all the good ones on
Me
I waste all the good ones on me
I waste all the good ones on me
I waste all the good ones on me
My face, it cracks like fault lines
My heart, it beats double time
And if I could, I would cut this scene so you could see
But I can't even lie to you
I waste all the good ones on me
I waste all the good ones on me
I waste all the good ones on me

Take me back home
My phone’s got no time left
Isn’t that perfect?
I know you said
That I could always call - but
You been a ghost for a minute
You don’t pick up - well I guess I’m sleeping with the city
My body’s weak and my head is only ever spinning
But that would all be fine
If I wasn’t so lost
Yeah that’d be fine, that’d be fine
If I wasn’t so lost
Yeah that’d be fine, that’d be fine
If I wasn't so lost
Every corner that I turn
It breaks my heart
Cause I know I’m further pulling us apart
I been a ghost for a minute
You don’t pick up, well I guess I should know when to quit it
My body’s weak and my head is only ever spinning
But that would all be fine
If I wasn't so lost
Yeah that’d be fine, that’d be fine
If I wasn’t so lost
Yeah that’d be fine, that’d be fine
If I wasn't so lost
If I wasn't
If I wasn't
If I wasn't
If I wasn't so

So tell us what’s your call
This math is dead simple
This shit lives in your head, rent free
It’s like gold
It’s like gold
I’m just, I'm just
Looking out, looking out, looking out
Ooh yeah
Play it out, play it out, play it out
Ooh yeah
We can get you the hurt you need
Just say yes
Just say yes
I'll be your
Operator, Operator
I'll tell ya
What you wanna hear forever
I told ya
This shit will take you places
Never you'd like where you'd go
Like where you'd go
So let me cleanse your soul
And heal the difference far
Between what you believe and you know
The dissonance you hear when alone
Somebody’s gonna give it to you
Might as well be someone you know
I'll be your
Operator, Operator
I'll tell ya
What you wanna hear forever
I told ya
This shit will take you places
Never you'd like where you'd go
Like where you'd go
Sometimes the most dangerous drug
Is one you cannot take
Sometimes the most difficult life
Is one you cannot fake
I'll be your
Operator, Operator
I'll tell ya
What you wanna hear forever
I told ya
This shit will take you places
Never you'd like where you'd go
Like where you'd go
Operator, Operator
What you wanna hear forever
Operator, Operator
I'll tell ya
What you wanna hear forever

Made of Gold

Lungs are perforated
I can’t breath
It isn’t complicated
Unlike every time
That you said it’s no one’s fault, I ate it
So tell me what you mean
And tell me now
Cause I don’t want to fake it
Do I pretend I’m a man
Keep it bent so no one else can break it
Let’s call it what it is
A party where you play the hits
You tell it like it’s all you wrote
This may be a graveyard
But these bodies ain’t cold yet
You can paint it like it's made of gold
You can eat it like a sugarcoat
Even if you hide it in your bones
Someone will always know
Someone will always know
Give yourself a hand
No matter what they say
You celebrate it
I cry and I moan,
But you always played it elevated
You could sell a person back a chain
Above the cost to break it
I won’t pretend you’re a man
Cause I bet it’d only make you angry
Let’s call it what it is
A party where you play the hits
You tell it like it’s all you wrote
This may be a graveyard
But these bodies ain’t cold yet
You can paint it like it's made of gold
You can eat it like a sugarcoat
Even if you hide it in your bones
Someone will always know
Someone will always know
You can paint it like it's made of gold
Hold my heart tighter than my throat
And even if you smile, I'll always know
No matter who you hurt
You'll always be alone
