The actors milling helplessly--
The script is blowing out to sea.
But what the hell, we didn't even pass an audition.
The lines you'll have to improvise.
The words are written in the eyes
Of politicians who despise their fathers.
And so the play necessitates
That all you boys participate
In fierce competition to eliminate each other.
And groupies, on their way to war,
Get to write the next film score,
But the rock and roll star knows his glory is really nothing.
Men of religion, on the make,
Pledge an oath they undertake
To make you wise for God's own sake, and none other.
While ladies get their bedding done
To win themselves a bouncing son--
But bad girls do it for the fun of just being.
And me, I'm here to sing along,
And I'm not concerned with righting wrongs,
Just asking questions that belong without an answer.
But God is laughing up his sleeve
As He pours himself another cup of tea,
Comeback to me enter the ghost of a loved one
I still see her silhouette
I took the seasons for granted now I'm alone
Somebody save me from losing it
What's your ideal woman can you say
Leave it to me
We're going to find you a candidate
Just wait and see for the audition
Think you all can just runaway with love
My sadomasochistic
Make us fail like the other ones you've done
Now drain the pain of my sick
Though I never was ever unhappy
Your agony betrays your lies
It's cause all I ever could feel was bad
These words cut through meat and bone
Hello my love, I waited today for your call
Please be alarmed how I can behave
I've been abused, my family tree roots into hell
But I can keep you warm... with my pain
I'll be the only one you can love
You're all the same
I'll bring you into my oblivion
Deeper, deeper now you understand
Let's sail the beat!
Get ready, get ready
It's the place to be!
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready

Get ready, get ready

You gotta have the one Killer Bee and he ain't gonna kill
Now, chop that down, pass it all around

For so long
I have been attacked by your words
And never holding back
Now you're scared
Of where I have been
I was never alone
I won't ever let this go
This is the path, the life I chose
My livelihood resides on my back
So I'll keep my legs as strong as I can
I've been misguided by you
I've been mistreated, too
If you think I'm gonna take it, no [x2]
Thought you had me
Tied up by a string
But on the side
Something I've been wanting
Said you're leaving
But to my defense
I was never alone
I won't ever let this go
This is the path, the life I chose
My livelihood resides on my back
So I'll keep my legs as strong as I can
I've been misguided by you
I've been mistreated, too
If you think I'm gonna take it, no [x2]
Say you want more
But it's all I got
I wanna make sure
That you know I won't stop
You thought you had me, baby
You thought you had me, baby
Say you want more
But it's all I got
I wanna make sure
That you know I won't stop
You thought you had me, baby
You never had me, baby
I've been misguided by you
I've been mistreated, too
I can feel a fire starting and I think it's lost control
I can feel her eyes burning through me
With a steady, steady hand she'll try to take it all
Take cover oh, take cover
I hold my head as I hit the floor
No wonder, doubt she'll go under
She'll stop at nothing just to say that she wants more
I'm over my head much more than I've been
And I can't let her in, she's more than I need
Remember to breathe whenever she's surrounding me
She works so mysteriously, she's always testing me
Just to see if I will ever break down
Tear me apart, yeah from seam to seam
Take cover oh, take cover
I hold my head as I hit the floor
No wonder, doubt she'll go under
She'll stop at nothing just to say that she wants more
I'm over my head much more than I've been
And I can't let her in, she's more than I need
Remember to breathe whenever she's surrounding me [x2]
Take cover oh, take cover
Take cover oh, take cover
I'm over my head much more than I've been
And I can't let her in, she's more than I need
We are the leaders and the preachers
teaching you what is right from wrong.
And even if a hint of nonsense has made us clearly conscious,
We'll be the first ones to act, be the first ones to act in.
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...
Oh oh oh - look at what we've all tried not to become:
another fabricated self-portrait.
Oh oh no - take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.
You are the so-called weak and reckless.
Waiting for the next big explosion,
No matter if it's wrong or right.
If we let you have this,
you'll be the first to destroy, be the first to destroy it.
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...
Oh oh oh - look at what we've all tried not to become:
another fabricated self-portrait.
Oh oh no - take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.
The simple ways we roll our eyes
are exactly how we disguise our secrets.
You know you need this.
The simple ways we roll our eyes

You know you need this.
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...

It's just passed midnight and I'm staring holes through the back of your head
because under nightfall everything seems a little more nostalgic
so here goes nothing as I throw up all these words all over you
new romance is becoming saturated in our eyes
oh how cliche it is to sing about the stars
when they burnt out about ten years ago
its just passed midnight and she's laughing at every word that I said
another frightful moment and
I need a mayday when I'm burning down
so much for spilling out my guts
because you never even gave a damn
selfish agenda blaming everything on me
oh how cliche it is to sing about the stars
when they burnt out about ten years ago
won't toss and turn tonight
we ride out fast
we'll burn the houses
and we'll torch the souls until they get it right
You like the way it feels
When nobody will reply-
to your questions
You like the way it feels
Whenever you ignore me
Makes me wild, makes me crazy
Don't like the things you do
Don't like what you become
Don't like what you do to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
You-
You think you know it all
You think you hold the key to life
And it's questions
But you-
You've got a lot to learn
Stop thinking of yourself
You're making me lose my head
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
It ain't a problem
It's my job son
Sweep the streets clean
Mix it up keep it mean
Best players in the frame up in the game
Think it's gonna change but it's still the same uh-
Still my pop caps the rocks-
Holds the pipsqueaks in smoky rocks
(You're already gone)
There's always time to fall on their face what-
Only someones will erase- yeah
You might think that you can hunt me down
Steal my jewels uh-
Wear my frown
But in the end yo-
Find the funk
Smoked out placed down in my trunk
If you'd all move to my plan
Things will work out fine-
Turn out grand
If everything works to my design
We all gonna be down and it's still all mine
Can't take you anymore
Can't take the way you treated me
You make me crawl
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me all alone
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already-
You're already-
You're already gone
You're already-
You're already-
You're already gone
you're not, you're not.
i don't think you're coming clean.
i won't, i won't, i won't let you lie to me.
never felt so alone.
it's funny how things go.
guess we'll never know.
i took you back tonight,
hoping that you weren't the same.
this won't ever be alright,
can't believe a word that you say
i give you tonight.
don't tell me you ruined this, 'cause you're scared.
now i know that you're foolish,
for every minute you wasted,
i will tear all apart what is left of this
'cause baby, you ruined this.
so stop and think, will you ever be happy?
no, you won't. there is just no fool in me.
never felt so alone, it's funny how things go.

i will tear this apart what is left of this.
'cause baby you ruined this.
'cause baby i ruined it from the sin of your kiss.
i'm so foolish for all the years we wasted.
you can stare in the dark,
and there's nothing there.
that boy smiles just like Hollywood
that girl acts interested
here I am dressed to massacre
all alone in the corner of a crowded room
lights camera wait
no ones getting any action
take a sip while no ones looking
just to try to ease the tension
director cut to my dying slowly
on the floor in the corner of a crowded room
I'll ask you a question
sharp and witty with my tongue
I'll do whatever I have to
till I have my way with you
look into my mirror (you could close the eyes, you could close the eyes. I'm everything you want)
and tell me what you see (you could pass a glance, you could pass a glance. I'm everything you want)
a hole in my chest by the face in the reflection of me
slit slash I'm making a gash on your ego
cause I'm far too good for you
is this the liquor talking?
lights camera wait
no ones getting any action
take a sip while no ones looking
just to try to ease the tension
director cut to my dying slowly
on the floor in the corner of a crowded room
I'll ask you a question
sharp and witty with my tongue
no need for hands with you
I'll undress you with my eyes
look into my mirror (you could close the eyes, you could close the eyes. I'm everything you want)
and tell me what you see (you could pass a glance, you could pass a glance. I'm everything you want)
a hole in my chest by the face in the reflection of me
you will never be caught seen with me
cause I'd be caught dead before I was seen with you
brace yourself and watch your back
it's time I bury this
hatchet so deep inside your chest
you'll wish you never asked for it
brace yourself and watch your back
it's time I bury this
hatchet so deep inside your chest
you'll wish you never asked for it
when you tell me that everything was right
were you conscious of your subconscious on that night
so,look into my mirror (I'm everything you want and need)
and tell me what you see (I'm everything you want and need)
a hole in my chest by the face in the reflection of me
You're the only one...
Mmmmmm yeaahhhh~~
All I need
Is you here with me
Someone to depend on
When the rain falls down
All I know
Is the way I feel
Whenever you're around me
All the darkness turns to day
Oooohhhhhhh~
What you do to me...
You're the one and only
Treasure in my life
A feeling I can't hide from you
That you're the only one
You're the one and only
Pleasure in my life
A feeling that goes on and on
And you're the only one
All my thoughts
They just run away
Move a little closer
Now we breathe as one
Take my hand
Let's fly away
To another place in time
Let the world just fade away
Oooohhhhhhh~
What you do to me...
You're the one and only
Treasure in my life
A feeling I can't hide from you
That you're the only one
You're the one and only
Pleasure in my life
A feeling that goes on and on
And you're the only one
Oooohhhhhhh~
What you do to me...
You make me feel so alive..
I feel it deep inside..
What you do to me.. Oohh~
You're the one and only
Treasure in my life
A feeling I can't hide from you
That you're the only one
You're the one and only
Pleasure in my life
A feeling that goes on and on..
You're the one and only
Treasure in my life
A feeling I can't hide from you
That you're the only one
You're the one and only
Pleasure in my life
A feeling that goes on and on
And you're the only one
Tried to find both my life and my love
Took the time to write down all my thoughts
Found that I need to let go of this (let go, oh let go)
All of my worst insecurities
'Cause I've got the tendencies
Of dancing away at anything alarming
And so...
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
Just turn around
I'll make you break through
Never betray you
And now I know that I
Can't go back on all those promises I shredded but
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
Wonder why, why its taking so long
To step back and admit all my wrongs
Always gave everything you had to me (Everything to me)
Tell me why I continue abusing
My insecurities have taken away
What I consider charming
And so...
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
Just turn around
I'll make you break through
Never betray you
And now I know that I
Can't go back on all those promises I shredded but
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
Whoa, I'll never tell you why I do those things I do
Whoa, Oh please just show me some understanding, baby
Whoa, Just trust my soul that I, I'm trying, God I'm trying
Oh, To let you know that I, I've tried to tell you that...
My insecurities have taken away
What I consider charming
and so...
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
Just turn around
I'll make you break through
Never betray you
And now I know that I
Can't go back on all those promises I shredded but
Can you, will you
At least attempt to stay now
I've got the tendencies
Of dancing away at anything alarming
All I want is to be with you
All I want is to be with you
Show your cards, show me what you got
We`ll break these poker faces, like it or not
Everyone`s in my head
But I want you in my bed
I never wanna go a day without you
I could never go a day
Come closer to me baby
I`ve got everything you need
To fill your hunger pains for tonight
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I don`t wanna go a day without you
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I don`t wanna go a day without you.
Innocence meet jealousy.
Isn`t she stunning?
She`ll make you smile so hard inside
Make you wish you bring back those nights
Take a walk with me through my head
I`ll show you where I rest
All those nights when I`m without you
Draw a new breath; I swear I`ll show you
Come closer to me baby
I`ve got everything you need
To fill your hunger pangs for tonight
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I don`t wanna go a day without you
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I don`t wanna go a day without you
Come closer to me baby
I`ve got everything you need
To fill your hunger pangs for tonight
This could all be a reality
If you just say you'll stay here with me
I'll make sure everything is alright
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I don`t wanna go a day without you
Warm me up beneath the sheets babe
I've heard all about how you can save,
I got this feeling in my bones
It chills me right down to my, down to my core
All we need now, in this game that we like to play
Is a secret to cover our mistakes, hey
I love the way that you move and all the things that you do
You can take all you want from me, I love the way that you move
I'm famished with all your love girl, I need it so
These pains won't help me hide it
I need to show affection in this game that we like to play
Is a secret to cover our mistakes, hey
I love the way that you move and all the things that you do
You can take all you want from me, I love the way that you move
I don't think I know what has come, come over me
I don't think I know, no
I don't think I know what has come over me
I don't think I know, no, yeah [x2]
I got this feeling in my bones
I love the way that you move and all the things that you do
Left alone, your voice once gave me the comfort to continue.
2,000 miles, I'm hopeless and broken
You're gutless and hopin' to run into hope
And this isn't getting any easier
They won't understand it
What you've hidden from them,
And this isn't getting any easier.
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well.
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well.
Once again, your lies still give me the heartache to continue.
1000 miles, you're coming closer
It's been so long I can hardly remember
This is getting so much easier
They won't understand it,
What you've hidden from them
And this is getting so much easier
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well.
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well.
Once again, your lies still give me the heartache to continue.
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well.
So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got.
So should this be my farewell?
What you, what you see is something you can't distinguish,
Something you know that you love.
What you, what you need is something she'll never be.
I think it's time to let you go.
Better ask the Captain.
Do it now.
Do it before we drown.
It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out,
Wash you away from here.
[x2]
Here comes the storm, it's moving in and swallowing
Like the bottom half of an hour glass
And we're running out of space.
Better ask the Captain.
Do it now.
Do it before we drown.
It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out,
Wash you away from here.
[x2]
Empty ocean is all we see,
The north star is all we need.
This time is probably right for everyone to say their goodbyes.
"May day! May day!" she said to me,
However it's too late
Captain, oh Captain, we've lost our direction.
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late.
It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out,
Wash you away from here.
I'm being held captive
Something's got a hold of me
Stay until death
Splits us up and calls the judge
To ask if you believe
You've lost your soul for eternity
But you've never been free
When it's said and done
We can run
It's our eternity
But for now, I've been trapped, oh
Too long to take these roads
Tell me when you see the smoke
Hear my cry and bring me back to home
Arrested by your love, girl
Constant search from the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door [x2]
Send an SOS through a telegraphic note
Expressed in shreds
Written in code, signed to a note
'Cause nobody should know
What it's like to be alone
So take back your soul
A lot to uphold
A lie to be told
'Cause love's not set in stone
But for now, I've been trapped, oh
Too long to take these roads
Tell me when you see the smoke
Hear my cry and bring me back to home
Arrested by your love, girl
Constant search from the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door [x2]
Come as you are, my darling
Bare bones so I can see your soul
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know who's starting
To crumble down my nervous walls
Had to stumble for far too long
Come as you are, come as you are
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know, I need to know
You're beginning to lose control
Arrested by your love, girl
Constant search from the floor
Barely beating in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door [x2]
Come as you are, come as you are
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know, I need to know
when the summer finally burns your insides
we'll know you put the lies in allies
when the summer finally says its time to see
we'll see the blueprints of a broken heart
no matter what your apology confesses I still know
you read me like a soliloquy from my head down to my toes
sometimes apologies don't mean a thing
like four in the morning when you're in bed sleeping
you don't need a phone conversation to wake you up to bring you down
cause when it's over we both know
so here we are again
I'll take your fragile hand and say
a million of the ugliest lies that allies could ever tell
you can't express yourself and you've tried 10,000 times
exponentially meaningless and even less with time
so this is what I want from you
a list of everything you'd try to make things worse
and make things hard
so this is where we draw the line
standing at the great divide
plotting revenge
take me off this
in your sleep you cry my name
in your sleep you choke your sheets
one more time
one more slit
your tongue keeps moving like a mute
tied in knots by your deceit
one more time
one more slit
so sleep with one eye open tonight
cause this will be your final resting place
I never thought that you would go this far
And I know why you went home
We tried to fix the dreams we burned to the ground
Why you left
I'll never know
You went and got yourself destroyed
You always told me what it feels like
To never have things right
What it feels like to always be alone
You said that I'm not like the rest
I said I'm in over in my head
If you don't let you in
You'll always be alone
I felt so sorry for the mess we caused
Those little lies that'd grown inside
And every time that I believed every lie
I lost a friend
A piece of mind
You went and got yourself destroyed
You always told me what it feels like
To never have things right
What it feels like to always be alone
You said that I'm not like the rest
I said I'm in over in my head
If you don't let you in
You'll always be alone
All I did was call you up
And help you get through this
Shut me down, drown me out
There's no way I can do this
I feel like running
Why did it have to come to this?
I bet you thought
It would never be easy
But I cut you off
All you have left is what you took from me
What you took from me
You went and got yourself destroyed over me
You went and got yourself destroyed
You always told me what it feels like
To never have things right
What it feels like to always be alone
You said that I'm not like the rest
I said I'm in over in my head
If you don't let you in
You'll always be alone
I just don't know if I can fend for myself
You said you'd come right away
You believe I reached the end of my age of innocence
It's something you hold and you fold
And you put away
And you're worried that I'll ...
I can't stand this
This still stands
I need some movement of balance
Face me to break me
'Cause all you've done is hide behind your lies
There comes a point in all our lives
We need to
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
For what's right
No matter if it's for ourselves
Or someone else
There comes a point within ourselves
We need to stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
For what's right
I've always learned to finish what I have put
Put into motion, devotion
Or anything I found
And I put it all on the line
Invested my time, and in return
I tried making something for nothing
And you ship it away to your pretty little faces
I say
I can't stand this
This still stands
I need some movement of balance
I can't stand this
This still stands
I need some movement of balance
Face me to break me
'Cause all you've done is hide behind your lies
There comes a point in all our lives
We need to
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
For what's right
No matter if it's for ourselves
Or someone else
There comes a point within ourselves
We need to stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
For what's right
Pushed me down
Kept me down
Kicked me face first to the ground
Save myself from this hell
Keep my pride if nothing else, hey
Face me to break me
'Cause all you've done is hide behind your lies
There comes a point in all our lives
We need to
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Face me to break me
'Cause all you've done is hide behind your lies
There comes a point in all our lives
We need to
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
For what's right
No matter if it's for ourselves
Or someone else
There comes a point within ourselves
We need to
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
You like to drive me crazy
Admit it, baby
Don't you lie
You swore up and down
This time around you'll learn to compromise
And I never thought you'd lie right through your eyes
Through your eyes
And just
Run away from everything
It's all you've ever known about yourself
You just run away
Making the same mistakes
It's hard to love when I've been stuck in hell
And that's all I'll ever know about myself
About myself
It's so hard to be away from
The one you love
Or so you thought
You dealt us a deck of cards
Straight to my heart
And you folded a royal flush
And I would have done anything for us
Oh, for us
But you just
Run away from everything
It's all you've ever known about yourself
You just run away
Making the same mistakes
It's hard to love when I've been stuck in hell
And that's all I'll ever know about myself
You took a knife to the thick of the problem
You pushed it in and turned
Trying to solve them
This scar you left
Is a constant reminder
Just how good that we should have been
Had you shown me love
Please show me love
You run away from
From everything
It's all you've ever known about yourself
You just run away
Making the same mistakes
It's hard to love when I've been stuck in hell
And that's all I'll ever know about myself
This scent you left oh, in my bed
Is helping me forget everything you said
Ask yourself what's left when your heart goes dead
'Cause my love has fled without sentiment
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant is what's wearing me down
I detached my heart from you long ago
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you, not for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you, fall for you
You've been exposed and I hope you know
What we had was gold, now tarnished and old
Reap what you sow, and this case is closed
You can walk alone, 'Cause I felt that way so long ago
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant is what's wearing me down
I detached my heart from you long ago
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you, not for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you, fall for you
Stand on your feet now
Your willingness to be ignorant is what's wearing me down
I detached my heart
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me i'm no saint, you'll see
But if I do, I bet I'll never fall for you
I don't ever wanna fall in love again
Don't wait for me I'm no saint, you'll see
I've been sneaking glances and writing lines about you.
What you think you can take back are the things that are going to haunt you.
This time won't be the last time
That I'm coming straight for your heart,
You know how I move.
And if I must say, I know that I'm worth...
More than you thought.
You've never compromised without rolling your...
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be.
I'm on the search, 2 floors high.
I see the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
I can't begin to explain this infatuation that I've grown with you
And all that has to do with every moment that I'm here and you're not.
More than you thought.
You've never compromised without rolling your...
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be.
I'm on the search, 2 floors high.
I see the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
And I thought that I would make it,
But you escaped it.
And you swore that you would take this somewhere, somewhere.
Now I'm lost and you're just fakin' the way you played this.
The escape game never seemed so cruel when...
I'm on the search, 2 floors high.
I see the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
I'm on the search, 2 floors high.
I see the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
There are a few things I should say
Oh, before I make my way
Down the hall and out the door
That we've walked so many times before
When my battery is low and I'm getting cold
I need to recharge, need to kickstart oh
Fool thinking you could make a man out of me
That you keep me clean
But if only I could say this
Maybe she would finally face it
Maybe she would finally understand.
The plug in the wall,
It won't fit at all
To turn me back on
Make me come undone
I open up and say what I, I really mean
This is all you see.
But if only I could say this
Maybe she would finally face it
Maybe she would finally understand
Don't want to tell you, but a year ago this was over (this was over)
It's difficult just to walk away and leave forever (leave forever)
And I've tried it again, and again
But I just need to give up, give up
Let go and start this over.
It's such a shame I never felt that way
Maybe she would finally understand.
Maybe she would finally understand.
Maybe she would finally understand.
Maybe she would finally face it.
But if only I could change it.
Maybe she would finally face it.
Don't want to tell you, but a year ago this was over. (this was over)
It's difficult just to walk away and leave forever (leave forever)
And I've tried it again, and again
But I just need to give up, give up
Let go and start this over.
My hands and hair smell of smoke
My tongue of old, black lust and jokes
Oh no
That have been passed through liars
Lips on to this old, weathered parchment
That has been torn to shreds
That had stated
I was there for everything
That you needed me to, to hold on
I know I didn't say enough
But I know you can't go forcing love
I know I shouldn't call you up
'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
Got caught on calloused heels
Barefoot, undressed, and such a mess
Unprepared for the next event
You said you had to go
What happened to the boy you used to know?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
But I stated
I was there for everything
That you needed me for
Just hold on
Sick of how I tip-toe through problems
Looking for a way out
And around them
I know I didn't say enough
But I know you can't go forcing love
I know I shouldn't call you up
'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
I broke someone's heart
Too bad that it happened to be my own
Come home
I can promise a better man
We can push restart
Start fresh, introduce ourselves again
And mend all these aching battle scars
I know I didn't say enough
But who says you can't go forcing love? (love)
I know I didn't say enough
But who says you can't go forcing love?
I know I shouldn't call you up
I'm calling all bars tonight.

If you need space
I will give you the ocean
These things you put into motion
Can't be replaced
If you need time
I won't hesitate to take
This watch that you gave to me
And stop the hands of time
You say you can explain your actions
But nothing justifies the passion
In the corner of your mind
It was all a lie
Said you needed just a little more time
I backed off
You packed up
Never to be seen or heard again
In the corner of my mind
You were all I see
And everything that I could ever dream
I backed off
You packed up
Never to be seen or heard again
I backed off
You packed up
"So let's take this break
It's not you
It's all me and these damn insecurities"
Is what she said to me
And I know that you will eventually need me
When you can't stand alone on your own feet
Crawl back to me
You say you can explain your actions
But nothing justifies the passion
In the corner of your mind
It was all a lie
Said you needed just a little more time
I backed off
You packed up
Never to be seen or heard again
In the corner of my mind
You were all I see
And everything that I could ever dream
I backed off
You packed up
Never to be seen or heard again
After all
He made you fall
And this won't stand
And after all
I never thought
This would end
You say you can explain your actions
But nothing justifies the passion
In the corner of your mind
It was all a lie
Said you needed just a little more time
I backed off
You packed up
Never to be seen or heard again
In the corner of my mind
You were all I see
And everything that I could ever dream
I backed off
You packed up
I feel my temperature risin'
For you
From ninety-eight to a thousand
Into
I feel my temperature
No need for doctors
I know you've got what it takes love
To keep the pressure up
No need to slow or stop
I can show you colors
That never existed
Show you I've got substance
Whoa
I'll give you everything you need my love
Show you what you need to know
I've never felt this way about someone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I feel my temperature risin'
For you
There's just no way to describe it
It's true
I need your medical attention
Fix me up and turn me on love
Go grab a scalpel
Can cut me open
I can show you colors
That never existed
Show you I've got substance
Whoa
I'll give you everything you need my love
Show you what you need to know
I've never felt this way about someone
Whoa, whoa
I'll give you everything you need my love
Show you what you need to know
I've never felt this way about someone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Prepare for battles
She's a goner
I can show you colors
That never existed
Show you I've got substance
Whoa
I'll give you everything you need my love
Show you what you need to know
I've never felt this way about someone
Whoa, whoa
I'll give you everything you need my love
Show you what you need to know
I've never felt this way about someone
I'm well aware of the runaway world that we're living in
I'm well aware that time moves fast
We get older every day
And I know my heart is somewhere
When I think it's best we both keep away
What you go for
What you go for
What is love for?
I can't remember
When you show up
Then you leave us
What is love for?
I can't remember
You fill me up with such regret
You pack your shit
Then you leave again, again, again, again, again
You waste all our time alone
You can say I'm not living in the world that you're living in
You can say anything you want to say about my friends
But they were there for me when you crushed me
And I think it's best you just keep away
What you go for
What you go for
What is love for?
I can't remember
When you show up
Then you leave us
What is love for?
I can't remember
You fill me up with such regret
You pack your shit
Then you leave again, again, again, again, again
You waste all our time alone
You waste all our time alone
You waste all our time alone
You waste all our time alone
You fill me up with such regret
You pack your shit
Then you leave again
What you go for
What you go for
What is love for?
I can't remember
When you show up
Then you leave us
What is love for?
I can't remember
You fill me up with such regret
You pack your shit
Then you leave again, again, again, again, again
Go around and tell all the neighbors
Go around and tell everyone
There's a storm thats coming for her
This type of rain will make her fall in love
This girl's so contra sending
Mysterious but beautiful
So go around and tell all the neighbors
I'm gonna grab her hard and won't let go
I've never wanted you so much as I do right now
I can't believe this is happening to me,
HEY!
Make it rain,
Flood the streets if only for today,
HEY!
Make it rain,
I need you, I want you more,
I just can't help it baby only just tonight,
HEY!
Make it rain
Her favorite place to dance is outside
Especially when the stars arise
So thats exactly where I'm heading
She's beautiful under night skies
I've been waiting for this weather
Come rain, come shine she's mine
Go around and tell all the neighbors,
The storm is coming, better get inside,
I've never wanted you so much as I do right now
I can't believe this is happening to me,
HEY!
Make it rain,
Flood the streets if only for today,
HEY!
Make it rain,
I need you, I want you more,
I just can't help it baby only just tonight.
HEY!
Make it rain
YEAH!
My eyes will be locked on you,
I'm moving in for the kill,
So sit still,
YEAH!
I want your eyes locked on me
You will be loving me until the morning..
HEY!
Make it rain,
Flood the streets if only for today
HEY!
Make it rain,
I need you, I want you more,
I just can't help it baby only just tonight
HEY!
I was too proud to call you that night
I couldn't run
I know running gets all in the way
You sure know how to make or break a day
Well, you just fled the scene
So hard to breathe
You think a lot about yourself so much
For someone who relies
On someone else's trust
I cower to your touch
You think I'd be the one to let go
So carry on
Thrilling to know
There is no control
She's got the soul of poet
And the fire of a bullet
She is what she is
Nothing less or unspoken
She don't love you no more
She's in love with her motive, yeah
This jealousy can't hold me over
I can't get mad
You know that anger gets all in your way
My jealous mind
It hates it but it takes it
Those haunting memories
Are laced with secrets
Although I'm hard-pressed
And back from a fight
You think this would end
But it's taking its time
Confusion, it is such an all-time
Bad written melody
Of course you'd sing
Please carry on
Thrilling to know
There is no control
She's got the soul of poet
And the fire of a bullet
She is what she is
Nothing less or unspoken
She don't love you no more
She's in love with her motive, yeah
Ask about her wings and her secret life
She'll say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ask her if she thinks she can sleep at night
She'll say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ask about her wings and her secret life
Ask her if she thinks she can sleep at night
Thrilling to know
There is no control
She's got the soul of poet
And the fire of a bullet
Thrilling to know
There is no control
She's got the soul of poet
And the fire of a bullet
She is what she is
Nothing less or unspoken
She don't love you no more
She's in love with her motive, yeah
She's in love, she's in love
She's in love, she's in love
She's in love
She don't love you no more
She said,
"I'm jealous of Los Angeles, she gets to keep you for a month or two
And I don't know if I can handle this the thought of being without you."
I know it's cold, but baby maybe we can stay a little longer
Then warm up those toes, the last thing we need is to blow our cover
And I know it's tough to reconsider what you thought was love
But I'm so proud of all the plans you're speaking of
Lay with me stay with me now, oh
'Cause you are all I think about
She said, "I'm jealous of Los Angeles, she gets to keep you for a month or two
And I don't know if I can handle this the thought of being without you."
She said, "I'm sorry for the way I've been, it's so much harder, but I guess we'll see
If I can prove myself wrong, show you I can be stronger than we thought that I would be."
I said, "Let's go and baby, maybe I can show you what you need to know
And how to cope the citizens can listen in but they will never know
About this love and just how stronger we can be
So what if they don't like the plans that we've been speaking of?"
I'll crave your kiss while you're gone, oh
So much I'm missing that alone
She said, "I'm jealous of Los Angeles she gets to keep you for a month or two
And I don't know if I can handle this the thought of being without you."
She said, "I'm sorry for the way I've been it's so much harder, but I guess we'll see
If I can prove myself wrong, show you I can be stronger than we thought that I would be."
And I can commit to change
(I said I'm sorry for the way I've been)
If you can promise to stay the same
(It's so much harder than I thought it'd be)
And never let this fade
(I said I'm sorry for the way I've been)
Baby, just promise to stay the same
(It's so much harder than I thought it'd be)
She said, "I'm jealous of Los Angeles she gets to keep you for a month or two
And now I know that I can handle this the thought of being without you."
She said, "I'm sorry for the way I've been it's so much harder, but I guess we'll see
Don't make me tell you that you're the only one
Because you never said I was who you want
I fight to change you
You always stay the same
I wonder how much longer that we're gonna wait
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know
You are the only one who
Can bring me down
Chasing something I can never want now
Don't act like you care
It's not what I want
Save face and keep tight
Don't act like you care
It's not what I want
Save face and keep tight
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know, know
'Cause I'm gonna take it
As far as you're willing to go, go
And why can't we just meet in the middle?
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know
Let me know
Please let me know
Let me know
Please let me know
I am the only one who
Can take you out
Leaving something that you'll never get now
Don't act like you care
It's not what I want
Save face and keep tight
Don't act like you care
It's not what I want
Save face and keep tight
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know, know
'Cause I'm gonna take it
As far as you're willing to go, go
And why can't we just meet in the middle?
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know
Let me know
And maybe one day
We'll share a drink and get along
And clear the air
It's okay to live alone
And you don't need to tell me that you're sorry
'Cause I can see you left yourself so long ago
And this is where the both of us, we walk alone
And I can feel it wearing down to the bone
Down to the bone
Don't act like you care
It's not what I want
Don't act like you care
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know, know
'Cause I'm gonna take it
As far as you're willing to go, go
And why can't we just meet in the middle?
If we're gonna make it
Please, you gotta let me know
Let me know
Please let me know
Let me know
Please let me know
Chapter 1 takes place on empty canvases
And idle hands are silencing the oxygen.
The clock keeps the beat,
The sweat turns to beads,
And the salt burns me alive,
But my tears have all run dry.
I haven't slept in days.
The devil's just like cocaine,
Gradually constant and permanently pain.
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Nothing to worry about.
Chapter 3, the things that lawyers never tell.
Chinese finger trap,
Arms tied behind your back,
And you wish that we'd lend a hand,
But that wasn't in the contract.
This is your fascination, inflammable exaggeration.
Signature signed in blood, but it's artwork that we love.
I haven't slept in days.
The devil's just like cocaine,
Gradually constant and permanently pain.
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Nothing to worry about.
Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live.
[x4]
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe.
It was just an awful dream.
A nightmare. A night scare.
Am I the one you see in your so-called nightmares?
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama.
Since beggars can't be choosers, I'll play the victim while you play the fool.
This one goes out on, this one goes out on popular demand.
So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing.
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising.
We are the ones you've named the, the unaccepted.
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama.
Since liars can be bruisers, you'll play the victim while we play the fool.
Tonight this goes out on the shelves because of popular demand.
So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing.
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising.
I want to know what you know, I want to go where you go
Take a trip to the end of time
kiss your lips, grab your hips and fly away
I want to walk in your shoes
So I can see just what I do every time that I see your smile
Do anything to ease your mind
Tonight
It's gonna be hard when I'm gone
I'll take this time to sit down and write you a song
With simple words and melody
To explain exactly what you mean to me
Oh, Amy
You say it's time for change, I say we just need to rearrange
all the plans that we had before no one is walking out that door alone
But I know I have to
It's gonna be hard when I'm gone
I'll take this time to sit down and write you a song
With simple words and melody
To explain exactly what you mean to me
Oh, Amy
Let's pick it up where we last left off
You know the part where we come unraveled, oh
I need this memory to keep me strong
When the weight of the world comes crashing down
Let's pick it up where we last left off
I need this memory to keep me strong, oh
Let's pick it up where we last left off
You know the part where we come unraveled, oh
I need this memory to keep me strong
When the weight of the world comes crashing down
It's gonna be hard when I'm gone
I'll take this time to sit down and write you a song
With simple words and melody
To explain exactly what you mean to me
I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how this how it has to be
And I should've known better
Than to believe in someone I couldn't trust
I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
you guard your laughter
just like the president and
your weeks are numbered
just like an element and
it's not so much what you say
it's mostly how your saying it
you make me melt like kerosene on candle wax
in flames and on your porch
she's knocking on your door
and she won't leave until your ash is on the floor
and all your pictures
couldn't keep me warm
if I burned them
I'm bleeding bloody coughs
from the fire in my lungs
I left you in my memories
so if the train comes
lay down on the tracks
and forget me
and how we used to kiss
I can't stand the person that you've grown to be
you guard your laughter
just like the president and
your weeks are numbered
just like an element and
it's not so much what you say
it's mostly how your saying it
you make me melt like kerosene on candle wax
in flames and on your porch
she's knocking on your door
and she won't leave until your ash is on the floor
and all your pictures
couldn't keep me warm
if I burned them
I'm bleeding bloody coughs
from the fire in my lungs
I left you in my memories
so if the train comes
lay down on the tracks
and forget me
and how we used to kiss
I can't stand the person that you've grown to be
(so this is me, testing you. staring through the colors of the cornea. concentrating until no color remains. your life, your mind becomes black and white. show me your inbalance. show me your true self. all thought is a chemical reaction. it's all in your head. it's all in your head)
(the bathroom mirror and lipstick, the syllables run down without meaning, and you have the guts to call yourself intellectual)
after this you will be in more pain than you could ever imagine
just the two of us left bleeding sadly after
The room gets cold
As she slowly paces back and forth
She says, "What have I done now?
It was a time well spent"
Did she really mean it when she said
"It's all a game we're playing
All of the words we say"?
I guess in a way
You were an honest mistake
And the love that you give's not the love that you take
I guess in a way
You were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take
And I should've known better
Than to believe in someone I couldn't trust
I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how this how it has to be
Stood like an empty shell
Fighting off the shakes
She goes on, baby
Livin' it up
Pleased to meet yourself
It's been longer than enough
It's all a game we're playing
All of the words we fake
I guess in a way
You were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take
And I should've known better
Than to believe in someone I couldn't trust
I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how this how it has to be [x2]
I guess in a way
You were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take [x3]
I guess in a way
You were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love
This is how this how it has to be
This is how this how it has to be
And I should've known better
Than to believe in someone I couldn't trust
I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
Come with me if you want to see anything worth while, my child
I'll show you anything and everything
Go to heaven for the weather
But to hell to sell your soul
I'll show you where mine went so long ago
Teach you everything you need to know
The way to love and feel it in your bones
Grab the sheets and make her toes ravel
Her lips whisper
She wants you, Oh!
The more you listen to me, you'll see
Everything that you need to be, from me
I'll show you all that you need, to be
The greatest lover to come after me
Oh, I can show if you want to know exactly how to say her name
To make her scream and shout, but not from pain
Ecstasy is all that she'll feel when you kiss her lightly
It's frightening
There is no room for sparks, show her lightning
Teach you everything you need to know
The way to love and feel it in your bones
Grab the sheets and make her toes ravel
Her lips whisper
She wants you, Oh!
The more you listen to me, you'll see
Everything that you need to be, from me
I'll show you all that you need, to be
The greatest lover to come after me
I can't wait to see inside
See exactly what your made of (made of)
I can see right through your eyes
See exactly where you came from (came from)
I'll take you out around the town
I will break you down (I will break you down)
I'll leave you high and dry, girl
I'll make your body cry, girl
I'll make your body
Make your body
Make your body cry out!
Teach you everything you need to know
The way to love and feel it in your bones
Grab the sheets and make her toes ravel
Her lips whisper
She wants you, Oh!
Come on girl and take a ride with me
Take your time, there isn't need for speed
I'll take it slow and make you lose control
Your lips whisper
I want you, Oh!
The more you listen to me, you'll see
Everything that you need to be, from me
I'll show you all that you need, to be
The greatest lover to come after me
Tonight I finally get the chance
To show you what I'm feeling
So now I'm taking out the time
To know you and your latest trends
Don't even get me started
On the topic of lovers eyes
Their attempts are so off-target
They don't know what is it to try
Baby, save me
Tell me that you wanna take me
To the place where we kissed the sky
Rain by day, shoot stars by night
[x2]
Now that we made it up into the sky
I've been wondering why
Why can't we keep away from everything
Stay high, just you and I
I'll make sure everything is all right
Sit tight
Don't you say a word
See the earth turn
Take a breath and stare like you
Have never, ever seen the world
Don't even get me started
On the topic of lovers eyes
Their attempts are so off-target
They don't know what is it to try
Baby, save me
Tell me that you wanna take me
To the place where we kissed the sky
Rain by day, shoot stars by night
[x2]
Baby, tell me what you want, what you need
Everything you've never seen
But you dreamed of a place out in space
Where we'll race to be free and unseen
To a world that's been turned all around, upside-down
Never knowing what's around
Every corner, a horrible story
I'm glad that we both left the ground
Safe and sound
Don't even get me started
On the topic of lovers eyes
Their attempts are so off-target
They don't know what is it to try
Baby, save me
Tell me that you wanna take me
To the place where we kissed the sky
Rain by day, shoot stars by night
I watch the sunlight flicker through the blinds
It casts a shadow on a bed we made of lies
You seemed so sure, but surely you should realize
I didn't even blink an eye
The night your heart had died
I've been thinking a lot today, yeah
Been thinking a lot today, yeah
You say because you're lonely
That you're wrong
And never, ever think of me
'Cause you're done
You say because you're lonely
But so what?
And never, ever think of me
'Cause he is all you want
He's all you want
You never said
That you thought I held these lies
It casts a shadow
On both you and I
Don't even try to make this better
I wanted to keep you longer
It's all the same
The lies, the game
I know that you won't change
I've been thinking a lot today, yeah
Been thinking a lot today, yeah
You say because you're lonely
That you're wrong
And never, ever think of me
'Cause you're done
You say because you're lonely
But so what?
And never, ever think of me
'Cause he is all you want
I don't wanna wait for you
I can't take it
I don't wanna wait for you
I can't take it
I've been thinking a lot today
I've been thinking a lot today
You say because you're lonely
That you're wrong
And never, ever think of me
'Cause you're done
You say because you're lonely
But so what?
And never, ever think of me
I was once a young boy
Never fled too far from home
Now I've lost my name
And misplaced my home
I retreat back to places
Where I am someone they love
Bright lights serving justice up from above
Everybody thinks they know my name
And where I've been
I've got news for you that'll turn your head
I'm not exactly who you think that I've been all along
Shut your fuckin' mouth and sing my song
I always knew I would be the one
To make you believe
(To make you believe)
In sleeping in castles with no guards
But all the pleasure it brings me
I flee from situations
When I know that I've done wrong
But face to face with faith
He strings me along
I'll shoot for the moon
So long as you raise your arms too
My marksmanship is perfect
My aim is true
Hitting targets
Marked their rage all over mother's glow
Smoking out the world atop my throne
I take the names of victims
That I've gunned down on my own
I please with love and ease
So I aim for gold
I always knew I would be the one
To make you believe
(To make you believe)
In sleeping in castles with no guards
But all the pleasure it brings me
I always knew I would be the one
To make you believe
In sleeping in castles with no guards
But all the pleasure it brings me [x2]
I was once a young boy
Never fled too far from home
Now I've lost my name
Half the truth is the same as a lie
And half of you, it just won't suffice
For tonight
Half of me is all I'll let you see
The other side I'll keep inside of my mind
And locked tight
Never again will I trust you
Never again will I love
Never again will I push through
And try to make sense of it all
You said you wanted back your life
Slow down, baby
Give me a little more time
Time to heal
Time to learn
Where I can find the time to watch it all burn
Give me the truth
Nothing but the, but the pain
Come clean, baby
Don't make me call the judge in
Sweetie, you know I never suspect anything less
So come clean, baby
Don't make me call the judge in
Never again will I trust you
Never again will I love
Never again will I push through
And try to make sense of it all
You said you wanted back your life
Slow down, baby
Give me a little more time
Time to heal
Time to learn
Where I can find the time to watch it all burn
Tick tock
Time bomb
Time to listen to my call
Listen to my call
I'm just a beat down and broken man
Who gave you every last chance he had
I stood tall, all the fights you caused
You tortured me like the way I always thought
You said you wanted back your life
Slow down, baby
Give me a little more time
Time to heal
Time to learn
Where I can find the time to watch it all burn
You said you wanted back your life
Slow down, baby
Give me a little more time
Time to heal
Time to learn
Where I can find the time to watch it all burn
To watch it all burn
To watch it all burn
my lips were writing checks my heart couldn't cash
cause it was empty with nothing but your memories
your perfect smile and innocent eyes
I'm sorry that you feel this way
I'm sorry for taking up space
I'm sorry that you'll never love again
sorry for being sorry all the time
don't want the agony back
I never lied when I said
that I loved you
and that I still do
put the 12th stitch inside of my chest
and just say goodnight
just say goodbye
even a spider would get caught up in this web
of all the lies that you spun on me everyday
you'll never see the pain that you've caused
I'm sorry that you feel this way
I'm sorry for taking up space
I'm sorry that you'll never love again
sorry for being sorry all the time
if I could I'd break into your house
and steal all of your clocks
just to take back all the time you stole from me
I'd do I'd do anything
I'd do I'd do anything for you
(scan the skyline and horizon this our final showdown this is our permanent request)
I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
falling for the wrong faces
I'd do I'd do anything
I'd do I'd do anything for you
(final search focus the spotlight this is our fashion hour this is a lost cause)
I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
Everybody is someone else's secret
Well I'll do my best to hide it if you can promise to keep it
Young lady looked in a cracked mirror
You look the same but you must be somebody else
We look at shame like a game
The ground is coming faster for us now
We'll hold our breaths until we figure out
A story we can spin
to keep on counting sins
And never let our lovers hold us down
She says she knows a traitor
Before he even knows himself
A life filled with bad actors
We're just distorted versions of ourselves
Young lady looked in a cracked mirror
You look the same but you must be somebody else
We look at shame like a game
The ground is coming faster for us now
We'll hold our breaths until we figure out
A story we can spin
to keep on counting sins
And never let our lovers hold us down
The ground is coming faster for us now
We'll hold our breaths until we figure out
A story we can spin
to keep on counting sins
And never let our lovers hold us down
Not without the spark of hope
Would you ever let her tell you
Love is nothing but a hoax
You can set it up and watch her fold
All your friends they will tell you
She's the devil with a soul
Not without the spark of hope
Would you ever let her tell you
Love is nothing but a hoax
You can set it up and watch her fold
All your friends they will tell you
She's the devil with a soul
The ground is coming faster for us now
We'll hold our breaths until we figure out
A story we can spin
to keep on counting sins
And never let our lovers hold us down
The ground is coming faster for us now
We'll hold our breaths until we figure out
A story we can spin
to keep on counting sins
And never let our lovers hold us down
Can someone please just shake the lies out of me?
It seems that every word I say don't mean a thing
I've tried so hard to reel you closer to freedom
With every cast I just exhaust all my options
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make all the headlines
It's so damn hard to push my pride to the side
Take back everything I said
know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
When these words aren't meaningless
I feel I'm constantly restricted by shackles
This so-called ball and chain is all I've ever known
I've climbed some mountains I thought I'd never tackle
They gave me sense of hope, and even more so, sense of home
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make all the headlines
I've tried for nights to write a new beginning, and failed every time
Take back everything I said
know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
When these words aren't meaningless
Oh girl, you know
Everywhere I want to go
I won't stop, I can't stop
'Til I get just what I want
[x2]
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make all the headlines
Oh it's so damn hard...
Take back everything I said
know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
Smother your breath with cheap champagne
The stewardess will bring me two of the same
These sort of things project through my microphone
Projecting love into your stereo
I won't go unheard or unknown
Carry me like jet planes crossing the sea
You fly so high that my eyes can hardly see you
Lock on to me
And cabin pressure's high from body heat
This chemistry will keep us glued to our seats
It's got this boy shaking in both of his knees
A loss of breath from extreme altitude
Of the signals that you're sending
Help me follow you
I won't go unheard or unknown
Carry me like jet planes crossing the sea
You fly so high that my eyes can hardly see you
Lock on to me
And cabin pressure's high from body heat
Carry me like jet planes crossing the sea
You fly so high that my eyes can hardly see you
Lock on to me
Mayday, mayday
We're going down in flames
Maybe, maybe
This is destiny
Repeat, repeat
Just what you want from me
I can make tonight the best of your life
Oh, without a fight
Carry me like jet planes crossing the sea
You fly so high that my eyes can hardly see you
Lock on to me
And cabin pressure's high from body heat
Carry me like jet planes crossing the sea
You fly so high that my eyes can hardly see you
Lock on to me
Mayday, mayday
We're going down in flames
Maybe, maybe
Don't be so hard on yourself
The name of the game is humiliation
And thanks for your admiration
I never thought I'd say this, the way that we play
Has such confrontation and guilt by association
Hold me, hold me, if I were to
I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you
It's all in your hands, so I'll do what I can
So you can do what you have to
So you can do what you have to
Don't think too hard about it
You never thought I'd get this far
Would get this far without you
Relax, stand back and watch it happen
I'll wave my goodbyes into the night and say
Hold me, hold me, if I were to
I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you
It's all in your hands, so I'll do what I can
So you can do what you have to
So you can do what you have to
Say you'll never ever, say you'll never ever
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never ever, say you'll never ever
Say you'll never tell a soul
Say you'll never tell a soul
Hold me, hold me, if I were to
I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you
It's all in your hands, so I'll do what I can
So you can do what you have to
sticks and stones
may break your bones but his words can't hurt you anymore
but it never bothered him before when he used to make the room spin round
he is responsible for every headache that you get
he is the cut inside your mouth that never heals
he is the rope that ties you down
he is the one that keeps you here
he is the thorn in your side
he is the romance in your life
your eyes look like the blue skies
that turn to gray
tears swell up round your nose and
blood on your shirt
tell my why you think that it's ok
it's not alright
to let him treat you this way
breathe please swallow and digest
that snake bit off more than he can chew
does this sound familiar
does this sound like you
but you are far too gracious
to waste your life with him
the sparkle in your eyes
becomes the darkness in the night
I am the knife that cuts you free
I am the key that lets you out
I am the gauze that heals your wounds
and I pray this pen won't fail me now
your eyes look like the blue skies
that turn to gray
tears swell up round your nose and
blood on your shirt
tell my why you think that it's ok
it's not alright
to let him treat you this way
breathe deep close your eyes self-esteem runs low
whisper something in my ears that I don't know
just to write this letter saying nothings alright
you'll get through my darling you'll get through tonight
making snow angels in broken glass
hope that he falls into a heart attack
to hell with you I'm done with feeling sorry
to hell with yourself she's had enough
to hell with yourself
it's over and over
tomorrow will let you go
it's over and over
Who is it tonight, Doctor Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
The bookshelf spins,
when I pull the Websters from the third row,
second from the right,
and this is where the chemicals grow,
this is where reactions flow,
the dictionary chemical cookbook was meant to hook you into me.
Would you please take off your lab coat, kiss me as we roll through every chemical.
Would you please put on your dance shoes? 'Cause I'm sick of dancin' alone.
Who is it tonight, Doctor Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
Two hints lust, then I mix some charm with a dash of wits.
Add some good looks and then, close the door and dim the lights.
(This will finally be the night)
where the dictionary chemical cookbook will finally hook you into me.
Would you please take off your lab coat, kiss me as we roll through every chemical.
Would you please put on your dance shoes? 'Cause I'm sick of dancin' alone.
Stolen everything you worked for,
love was lost but better to remember,
left side, left side suicide.
Please take off your lab coat and kiss me as we roll,
please put on your dance shoes and join me in this waltz.
Would you please take off your lab coat, kiss me as we roll through every chemical.
Would you please put on your dance shoes? 'Cause I'm sick of dancin' alone.
Please take off your lab coat, kiss me as we roll,
I see a girl who will always be
Everything I will ever need
I wrote this in hopes to change you
But then again, what was I thinking?
What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
It makes all the difference
This girl, she is simply amazing
She's everything I could ever dream
And I thought that I could change her
But then again, what was I thinking?
What did you think I would really do?
After all, all I need is you
What did you think I would really do?
Stand my ground and leave myself alone
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
Let's abandon everything
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Make this dream a reality
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Just pack up and move away
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Start a life and we'll change our names
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
Can you remember when
We made this permanent?
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
That makes all the difference
We've grown much older now
Let's turn this time around
It's not the years of your life that count
It's the life in your years
The crimes I've committed aren't heard by any judge
And there are only two in this courtroom and I must confess.
What's done is done and I'm not the type that can't be conned into being convinced.
We both know this.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
These acts of immorality are the only things keeping me quiet
Why can't you just accept the fact that I'm only as loyal as my options?
I can't believe that you would ever trust me.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
You could call me a rolling stone
'cause I'm always on the road
Every night I wonder if you're there alone.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
It's my bait, my words, the hook.
I should be ashamed of this, I'm not,
'Cause I have tasted grapes.
This smile, don't look.
You like the way it feels
When nobody will reply-
to your questions
You like the way it feels
Whenever you ignore me
Makes me wild, makes me crazy
Don't like the things you do
Don't like what you become
Don't like what you do to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
You-
You think you know it all
You think you hold the key to life
And it's questions
But you-
You've got a lot to learn
Stop thinking of yourself
You're making me lose my head
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
It ain't a problem
It's my job son
Sweep the streets clean
Mix it up keep it mean
Best players in the frame up in the game
Think it's gonna change but it's still the same uh-
Still my pop caps the rocks-
Holds the pipsqueaks in smoky rocks
(You're already gone)
There's always time to fall on their face what-
Only someones will erase- yeah
You might think that you can hunt me down
Steal my jewels uh-
Wear my frown
But in the end yo-
Find the funk
Smoked out placed down in my trunk
If you'd all move to my plan
Things will work out fine-
Turn out grand
If everything works to my design
We all gonna be down and it's still all mine
Can't take you anymore
Can't take the way you treated me
You make me crawl
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me all alone
Even though you're next to me
You're already gone
Feels so far away
Left me on my own
Even though you're next to me
You're already-
You're already-
You're already gone
You're already-
You're already-
You're already gone
