I've been piecing together the lyrics from the rest of the tracks. Here's some I picked out

I was just happy to be a contender; I was just aching for anything. And I used to have such steady hands but now I can't keep them from shaking.

  • A Raindance in traffic

I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times; Is this what it feels like with my wings clipped?

  • There, There

But I was kind of hoping you'd stay. I was kind of hoping you'd stay; I was kind of hoping you'd stay.

  • Dismantling Summer

I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me.

  • The Devil In My Bloodstream

When all we had were hand me-downs

  • Teenage Parents

I'm staring up at the sky but the bombs keep fucking falling.

  • Passing through a screen door
Song Meaning

  • We Could Die Like This

  • We Could Die Like This
  • Know that I fought until the lights were gone

  • Chaser
  • If you'd walk me home!

  • Chaser
  • If you'd walk me home!

  • The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves
  • I'm staring up at the sky but the bombs keep f***ing falling

  • The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves
  • I'm staring up at the sky but the bombs keep f***ing falling
