      To the ones who feel like it could all come apart at any moment . . . and to the ones who comfort us and keep us together

      Call the death by any name Your Highness will,

      attribute it to whom you will,

      or say it might have been prevented how you will.

      It is the same death eternally—inborn, inbred,

      engendered in the corrupted humours of the vicious body itself,

      and that only—Spontaneous Combustion,

      and none other of all the deaths that can be died.

       How it started

       Let’s be clear

       How you feel

       Sorry

       What was wrong with us

       In case you were wondering

       Other stupid things that were done

       As you might have guessed

       You’ve got a friend

       A trilogy

       Back to the action

       Fun and games

       The thing about comebacks

       And wouldn’t you know it?

       What we were dealing with

       It will come as no surprise

       Again, sorry

       A little further in the future

       Drugs

       What to do on a second date

       You’re probably wondering

       The benefits of cyberstalking

       Another part of the story

       A meeting of minds

       Hate to break it to you

       At the edge of dodge

       What you have to understand

       Sorry, not sorry

       Because of that

       At 10:31

       Where our world was headed

       The calm

       The storm

       Making an impression

       What they did to us

       Before we knew it
