Lost Cause 03:54
Don't want your pity Don't need your sympathy too I bet on over I do what I have to do Don't need a craned voice to open my eyes Don't need divine intervention to make me realize It's just another lost cause It's just another lost cause Gonna cut my losses It's just another lost cause Don't need your pity Don't want your sympathy too Don't be a moron What do ya think I'm gonna do? Get me a dustpan Sweep up what pieces I left Put them in a box marked "almost" Start over again It's just another lost cause It's just another lost cause Gonna cut my losses It's just another lost cause Have you no pity? Have you no sympathy, too? Feel like a loser But hey, what else can I do? Open the closet Find all the pieces I swept Get me some duck tape and put them back together again Is this another lost cause? Is this another lost cause? It's gonna be your loss, cuz It's more than just a lost cause It's more than just a lost cause

Infected 05:11
I sit on the couch Alone with windows open Maybe birds will help me smile Oh, I'm a woman now But I still feel stupid and immature I've got my own place but feel like a child I feel so unlovable still to this day Now I'm grown up and I still flinch at your name Oh How you've infected me You'll be a part of me eternally Oh How you've infected me The voice in my head is yours forevermore You were much older, not impressionable like me I think my brain's convinced you're home Do you remember ages thirteen, fourteen, fifteen? 'Cause I can't recall an hour ago I feel damaged and worthless still to this day Now I'm grown up and I still flinch at your name Oh How you've infected me You'll be a part of me eternally Oh How you've infected me The voice in my head is yours forevermore Forevermore How embarrassing When everyone knows but no one says a thing I feel broken beyond repair And hangin' on by a string I feel so unloveable still to this day Now I'm grown up and I still flinch at your name Oh How you've infected me You'll be a part of me eternally Oh How you've infected me The voice in my head is yours forevermore Forevermore? Forevermore

Paint by numbers, but it's hard to read Feeling blank, yeah, somewhere in between My thoughts are lost and jumbled 'round As I scatter to write them down 'Cause I've been thinkin' about lying about who I am Wishing that I could start all over But I can't change who I am Can't erase what's outside the lines Fearful flashbacks coming back to haunt me Make for distraction with some games and coffee I feel lost and jumbled 'round Somebody, color me and write me down 'Cause I've been thinkin' about lying about who I am Wishing that I could start all over But I can't change who I am Can't erase what's outside the lines Been trying my whole life so desperately to be normal Pushing away my own beliefs What even are my morals? Paint by numbers no one else can see All or nothing, nowhere in between Every day I'm running 'round Sometimes I wish I could just calm down 'Cause I've been thinkin' about lying about who I am Oh, wishing that I could start all over But I can't change who I am Can't erase what's outside the lines
