what do you see when you close your eyes How do you keep from screaming? Why should I care if you don't? Why should I quit if you won't? Why should I care if you don't? Why should I quit if you won't? Remember when everything was beautiful? Remember when no one was dead Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is always ready Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is almost ready everything will be for naught if you don't keep your body breathing everything will be for naught better keep your body breathing everything will be for naught I hope you keep your body breathing everything is for naught if you don't keep your body breathing What do you see when you close your eyes How do you keep from screaming? You tell me I'm supposed to care but I don't believe in you You tell me I'm supposed to care but I don't believe you Why should I care if you don't? Why should I quit if you won't? Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is always ready Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is always ready Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is almost ready Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is always ready Welcome to the Substandard Wish Club Your room is almost ready

carve these words into the sand help is on the way carve these words into your chest i will remember you carve these words into your arms there is no way out strike across the sky no prediction no reason why just when you think the rains about to stop clouds open and she doubles down live throug the fear thats what keeps me here gotta let the smoke settle use a mirror to show what we can already see i can see your bones how are you smiling? carve these words into the sand help is on the way carve these words into your chest i will remember you carve these words into your arms there is no way out

inside of my head/there is nothing left/there once where thoughts/there once where songs long gone/nothing left/only silence i still don't know/how to deal/with the silence/the numbness/the hollowness/inside my head long gone/nothing left/only silence long gone/nothing left/only silence/remains
6.
i used to think/this would save me/but now i know/there's no salvation i used to think/that you loved me/but now i know/i'll die alone only do i realize/you never were real/only do i learn/we were each others ghosts it was thundering/when i awoke/i was alone/like i always am the rain has stopped/the sun has risen/but for now/clouds refuse to part
