Tell me this is not how it ends

Broken glass on the counter

 I can't find a reason

 For me to stay

The jewelry and the Chinchillas

You can take 'em wit' ya

Imagine goin' half on a loft outside the city

Sometimes silence is way worse than violence
C
Feel like we on two different islands

Get back together, know it when
