If You Need Me

this frozen god stained goodbye
with all the things I wasn't saying
I'd take the time I need
Isn't that what we agreed upon?
I broke it off
too many times
I knew it was wrong
I needed to be alone
so I put my clothes in bags and I
took my pictures down
revealed all the holes in the walls
that were there all along
I gave you back your keys
you looked at me with red eyes
"I'm here if you need me," you said
but I'm done pretending
when I walked away
with all the things I wasn't saying
a panicked waking dream
oh the things I did
to help me get to sleep
you ate alone
too many times
in the bedroom hall
you bridled me
so I put my clothes in bags and I
took my pictures down
revealed all the holes in the walls
that were there all along
I gave you back your keys
you looked at me
and I burned my life to the ground
so I could start over

Building Hell

despite what I think
you're not out to get me
just don't want to destroy what you've built yourself upon
while painting myself in debris, I know you adore me but
you're not happy when you see me on the screen
begging don't leave me
I didn't mean to fight back
but you kept changing the subject
if I just stay here building hell out of ash
would that be so bad?
deny my affliction
I love you, but only as fiction
placebo, I chose to fit squares into circles
I saw you escaped to Berlin, who was that you were with?
I thought you said maybe, okay, it could be different someday
so I won't try to change your mind
the way I used to
mining venom out of gold
extracting poison
leave me out in the cold
I so easily lose control
but if I stay with you
growing old
extracting poison
well I'd be building my own hell

I Hate New York

Written by Meredith Haines
Engineered and produced by Adam Laub
Mastered by Bob Iacano
Recorded @ Sleepless Sound
well I can't write love songs
and it's eating me alive
I hate how I feel in this rain
it's pulling me away
and it won't let me out
you felt like bait
but now I'm content with this cage
keep locking me away
and don't let me out
please don't let me go home
please don't let me out
I don't feel the same at home
but you're wrong, I hate New York
it's a dirty rotten maze, a bulldozed valley
with shitty coffee
but I lied when I said that I didn't want to try
to see what you see
to say goodbye, how can I?
you wait at my car and convince me to stay
there's no one here to blame
and it's driving me insane again
I was late but now i'm playing your game
make me feel the same once again
and don't let me out
string me along while you find out what you want
it shouldn't take you so long
this isn't what I want
but you won't let me out
and I don't feel the same alone
but you're wrong, I hate New York
it's a dirty rotten maze, a bulldozed valley
with shitty coffee
but I lied when I said that I didn't want to try
to see what you see
in aging stairs, disarrayed repairs
in a subway car, convince me to stay
