Cyrano 03:47
Cyrano (quits the job) I just can't think of anything memorable to say, the bard I'd loved to be has fainted on the bedroomfloor No bitter lines to quote on someone's birthday party round 3 am, when you're drunk in conversation, with the girl you had a crush on since first grade. So don't count on me at this, don't count on me at all Here's just another guy who relates to you and feeling kind of small and insufficient So don't be cross with me! Here's all the fingers that I missed to raise on non attended shows now point at all the turns I didn't take, was to afraid to go a map with coloured needle sticks one for each opportunity I missed hangs right above my bed (it) keeps reminding me of all the wrong decisions the chances that I missed there's just no use in hanging out with me But Cyrano-oh, doesn't know-ho, where to begin, in case you're wondering. why Cyrano-oh, turns to go-ho whenever anything starts closing in and lights, fade and die the dark graps tight when felony born of uncertainty So Cyrano-oh, turns to go-ho Cyrano-ho, tuns to go-ho

Vertigo 04:05
High on hope, high above the ground and tryin' to cope with the vertigo sticks and stones to throw at my parade of broken bones Chorus: there's so much I regret How I wish how I dare to Take back what we once said undo what we've been through I swore I'd stay gave a promise I would keep you safe fight the demons for you now I failed will I fail her too? I'm a broken man with to many debts to pay Chorus

then you twist the words until they brake and your bitterness easily snaps
but as soon as I hung up the phone I am eagerly waiting for you to call back.
Well you don't now I'm parked at the railroads to see if your lights are still on 
(whoooooooooohohoooo...) And I can't even go to a goddamn store to buy all my favourite stuff 
I'll just find myself packing the chart with tons of the crap that you would have loved but we won't have dinner together tonight, can you tell me we will? Chorus: tomorrow's shadowed eyes proove I've stayed, in some crooked way I'm still in charge / you see / despite of all the grief here at the corner of Redemptionstreet But this ain't helping you would say 
you're on your own anyway thought I had found myself / something to hold on to something to hold on to.... Well, it seems I did Chorus

the swaying kids on playgrounds with their dads
their laughter rolling from the swingset down the slide
the humming sounds of happy birthday chants
unhinge the rack that kept my spine upright
 Chorus:
here's my repentance wrapped in selfishness
like cheesy quotes on wedding invitation cards
 I'm floating on, on peoples wasted breath
entangling their “hey, why don't you leave?”
revealing all their unconcearn and all my doubts
the till girl softly smirks and I'm about to ask her out
 here's my repentance wrapped in selfishness
when cheesy quotes on wedding invitation cards
once got me sick and now just make me sad,
which is a whale of difference to me
