The time of my life, a record of myself
An accurate sketch of perfect health
A roof on my head, shoes on my feet
Plenty of room, plenty to eat
Been very far, made lots of friends
And I love my mother, hope to see her again
I'm a wanderer now, sorrow befalls me
I laugh often so I suppose I'm gonna be fine
Mozart he said "there's nothing to composing"
And that's all we do
We just write and play and write and play and write and...
Here, here and here
He pointed to his heart and mind and ears
He said "here, here and here"
He pointed to his heart and mind and ears
Here, here and here
He pointed to his heart and mind and ears
He said "here, here and here"
He pointed to his heart and mind and ears
Mozart he said "there's nothing to composing" (Here, here and here)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (He pointed to his heart and mind and ears)
Mozart he said "there's nothing to composing" (Here here and here)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (He pointed to his heart and mind and ears)
Mozart he said "there's nothing to composing" (Here, here and here)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (He pointed to his heart and mind and ears)
Mozart he said "there's nothing to composing" (Here here and here)
I've felt, this blue before.
When a love, walks out my door.
My heart, it broke,
But I know where I'm going:
Back out in the open.
Love won't you find me again?
Don't wait for my heart to mend,
I wanna fall in love again.
Why must we wait in the dark?
All that you need is another heart
To make your broken heart seem far away.
Yeah, yeah.
God knows I've done my time,
I've cried a river wide,
But there's no reason to be unhappy
When you've got all you need to build your own road.
That's how life goes.
That's how life goes.
Love won't you find me again?
Don't wait for my heart to mend,
I wanna fall in love again.
Why must we wait in the dark?
All that you need is another heart
To make your broken heart seem far away.
Got a lot of questions to where I am going,
Where my life's going,
And where I have travelled from.
I want to find a love I won't be alone,
Yeah, I won't be alone in
And I won't stop looking.
Love won't you find me again?
Love won't you find me again?
Love won't you find me again?
Why must we wait in the dark?
A subtle whistle-wind, the dusty old truck.
By the trees on the streets.
Blow like space mountain ridin.
The spanish hold me down back there in at Disneyland.
And some new mexico football team and.
The way that you dressed with your clothes too big
I can't believe that I didn't think of that
What you did to me, I can't forgive
But you wouldn't think of that
Lesson learned, take it back.
Lesson learned, take it back.
He's found this girl a home, she'll wait for eternity.
Just to wear his clothes and practice recipes.
Theres chance I got, I told him to buy me a drink.
And I'll say, "Hey I'm sure she's very pretty."
Don't you get lonely and bored sometimes?
She doesn't even know you anymore.
How do you know she's at home?
Didn't you say her best friend looks over her?
Lesson learned, take it back.
Lesson learned, take it back.
(guitar solo)
Lesson learned, take it back.
Lesson learned, take it back.
But I've got my lesson learned, I'll take it back.
(I've got my lesson learned. I'll take it back)
Since when did you start swinging big cigarettes
Oh lord you're a child
How long has Charlie been sleeping in your bed?
Said it wasn't sex, it was love
Where was I when you grew up?
Where was I when you grew up?
Now there's two tiny hands in cement by the street
A new knowledge of men
New worries
New disease
And a portrait of cheap female skin, dangerous skin
For the new repertoires from your neighbours, now me
You go get a job where the people pay well
You order a drink and you'll sleep in a hell
And i'll say Misty dear, you're my angel
But age, you're more of a girl
This time around, I'm feeling blue.
Things were a dream for a short while.
I'm feeling pain, think it's still you.
I shouldn't have said what was said, oh.
I've tried everything a stronger woman should be,
Like a tree, never bowing or bending.
Baby, alright, there I've said it.
Since I told you to leave, I've been thinking.
Baby, come back, I can't help it.
When you leave my side, my whole world stands still.
Babe, okay, fine, I'll admit it.
In my life I need you, I need you in it.
Remember the words, I said to you,
Were "give me some space some alone time."
I changed my mind, and I called to you,
I heard your sweet voice on the telephone.
And you said,
"My love how could I ever stop loving you,
I'm already on my way home."
Baby, alright, there I've said it.
Since I told you to leave, I've been thinking.
Baby, come back, I can't help it.
When you leave my side, my whole world stands still.
Babe, okay, fine, I'll admit it.
In my life I need you, I need you in it.
Already on his way home,
I'm gonna see you so soon.
On my way back to you,
Oh, back to you.
Baby, alright, there I've said it.
Since I told you to leave, I've been thinking.
Baby, come back, I can't help it.
When you leave my side, my whole world stands still.
Babe, okay, fine, I'll admit it.
In my life I need you, I need you in it.
His little whispers
"Love me, love me"
That's all I ask for
"Love me, love me"
He battered his tiny fists to feel something
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something
Monster, how should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her
He struggled closer
Then he stole her
Violet wrists and then her ankles, silent pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams
Monster, how should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
I will hear their voices
I'm a glass child
I am Hannah's regrets
Monster, how should I feel?
Turn the sheets down
Murder ears with pillow lace
There's bath tubs full of glow flies
Bathed in kerosene
There are times when I'm feeling like I've lost all control,
And I'm talking 'bout a year or more,
And I remember when I was a kid and it was simple,
I couldn't ask for more.
And I was heading down the straight and narrow,
But then the devil pulled me in by my elbows,
He gently removed my blindfold,
I said, "Don't show me more."
Please, please, please, please, please.
If I changed the world's rotating, you still gonna leave?
Please, please, please, please, please.
All of the warm I'm missing, I guess you don't need.
There are times when I'm feeling like I didn't sleep at all,
And I'm talking 'bout a week or more,
And I remember when I got my first lousy car,
And I was out the door.
But back then I was looking forward to the cold,
Moving back and forth and upside down and growing younger,
Nothing could stop it,
The driving inside, it's older.
Please, please, please, please, please.
If I changed the world's rotating, you still gonna leave?
Please, please, please, please, please.
All of the warm I'm missing, I guess you don't need.
The things I lost in the fire,
Make it hard to keep my food down.
Ten years gone in a hurry,
All I got was my hands dirty.
I stop myself from starting something cause I can already see how it's gonna end up ahead of me.
If I'm gonna be beat by a drowning, gonna jump that bridge, gonna jump that bridge, not be thrown in.
When we're comfortable and we're all grown up,
When it's all said and done, will you still love me?
When those younger girls are more beautiful
And I'm old but I'm still tryin', will you still love me?
Will you still get up when I walk in?
Will we still make love without stoppin' to breathe?
Oh baby, will you still love me?
When that man pulls up, gets his papers out,
When it's all said and done, will you still love me?
If we lose our home and our children go,
When it's all said and done, will you still love me?
Will you still get up when I walk in?
Will we still make love without stoppin' to breathe?
Will you still stand up when I'm broken?
Will you still bother without choosin' to leave?
Oh baby, will you still love me?
Get up and go,
I know you want her.
I can see it in your eyes,
Boy, don't even try and hide.
What else must you know?
Don't analyse,
Love can be so simple,
When you leave your past behind.
Go and get her, go and get her,
Yeah, she's waiting for you,
Yeah, she's waiting for you.
Don't you bother, don't you bother,
With what you're gonna say,
With what you're gonna do,
It'll come to you.
You feel ashamed,
You walked away.
She's already forgiven you,
And I know you know this too.
When you're feeling like the world is empty,
You'll find her love, cause it's ready.
So go and get her, go and get her,
Yeah, she's waiting for you,
Yeah, she's waiting for you.
Don't you bother, don't you bother,
With what you're gonna say,
With what you're gonna do,
It'll come to you.
So you're feeling unsure,
But you know it feels right.
Baby's green eyes know no boundaries.
Everything in life you need is free,
I said, everything in life you need is free.
Go and get her, go and get her,
Yeah, she's waiting for you,
Yeah, she's waiting for you.
Don't you bother, don't you bother,
With what you're gonna say,
With what you're gonna do,
It'll come to you.
Yeah, she's waiting for you,
You gotta get up and go.
Yeah, she's waiting for you,
I quit smoking come July,
Sun was too strong in my lungs,
Fog like sea foam in the night,
Headlights, headlights safely took me home.
Bodies steaming up the windows,
You told me you didn't know how.
I said, "I will wait for you to grow.
I don't wanna take your youth from you now."
You gave me all your summer clothes,
They had grown too small for you.
You were itching to see the world,
I had nothing left for you.
My last summer, my last summer with you.
Heavy nights under the moon,
The stars and interrupted beehive,
Love so simple no one understood,
Carved our names with your pocketknife.
You gave me all your summer clothes,
They had grown too small for you.
You were itching to see the world,
I had nothing left for you.
My last summer, my last summer with you.
You gave me all your summer clothes,
They had grown too small for you.
You were itching to see the world,
I had nothing left for you.
Unsinkable ships.
The water came in I said to hell with it.
If we're gonna make it out,
We're not gonna advertise it.
We'll walk with our eyes closed.
What's ahead I'd rather never know,
If we're gonna make it out.
We're all thrown out pennies in a wishing well.
So I took a trip,
Up the mountain that would never end.
I felt a flood inside of me.
When I pulled up onto Inca Street.
He taught me love and facts.
That we're not sinking we're just tunneling down,
To a place that's out of reach,
From all the sickness that covers everything.
I gave up on giving up on me.
(I gave up on giving up.)
I gave up on giving up on me.
(I gave up on giving up.)
I gave up on giving up on me.
(I gave up on giving up.)
I got same old nose and no cheekbones
i got my stomach rolls rather bare wardrobe
they got seven floors one on the east cost
why they grin so wide
they got there visions no one knows
i think im on the bright side got my hair cut short
i do my class repots on time
i hope im on the bright side
what beauty is today is a fake from whats inside
my teeth are yellow stars
sleeping in my jaws with their lips enlarged in a constant pout
theyre the types of girls who hide their wedding rings if it doesnt match their cloths
i think im on the bright side got my cut short i do my class report on time
i hope im on the bright side what beauty is today is a fake from whats inside
i got my same old nose and no cheekbone
my teeth are yellow stars sleeping in my jaws(we must not sleep underneath the slow and stedy decent of the fools upstairs)
Stand tall, head and shoulders down
They don't make 'em like us anymore
You failed to see that I am not your shadow
I can be more
You said the world is hard to face
I am your umbrella, Megan
But I can keep up with its pace
If you let me go
I was running to see you down the line
What if I've built up what was mine?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you?
Not scared, I know you thought
I was shaking fast in my own two shoes
But these soles could fight the ocean waves
Dirty laundry, and World War II
Finally I see past my front hands
Not a coward's pissed-stained pants
Thank you for telling me I can't
Without you, I wouldn't be where I am
What if I see you down the line?
What if I took back my lost time?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you?
If you see me again
You won't know my face
But you'll recall my hurt
Inside of me, a side of you is placed
When I see you again, I won't be bitter
You're so far to blame
You're part of this change
I am so much of you
I won't ever be the same
What if I see you down the line?
What I took back what was mine?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
Sleep on now
I heard that a knee makes a good pillow
When your down
And do you like it
When someone tickles your arm?
Curl your locks of hair round and round
You're so tired
Let me straighten out your shirt
As your chest rises up and down
I don't get it either
But someday we'll learn
How the earth spins round and round
You need to fall
Thats what people always say
You don't know anything at all
you haven't felt the pain
When should I crawl.
When should I take the final blow.
When is it bad enough.
To earn the right to show.
How hard should I fall
Before it's my turn to be heard.
How much pain should I show on my face
Before you listen to a word.
How bad should I hurt?
How much is enough?
You just jerked.
I hope you're dreaming.
But isn't drowning all we've earned?
I won't close my eyes till you lay still, and I won't cry.
I've been through nothing.
I haven't witnessed a full stab.
I need to experience something before I get laughed at.
You need to fall.
That's what people always say
You don't know anything at all
you haven't felt the pain
When should I crawl.
When should I take the final blow.
When is it bad enough.
To earn the right to show.
How hard should I fall
Before it's my turn to be heard.
How much pain should I show on my face
Before you listen to a word.
When should I crawl.
When should I take the final blow.
When is it bad enough.
To earn the right to show.
How bad should I hurt?
Where is the laughter
I saw a picture
You looked so happy
When I saw you with her
Well I'm so glad
I knew you before you met her
Just so I know
How guys are before they get her.
I've got it down
You showed me again
Just so you know.
Don't push me around
I know you resent that I'm alone
Pity and mercy
Do little for me
You know me better than anyone.
Go get your girl
She's looking at you like you're crazy.
We can pretend you never even knew me.
It'll work out
Don't let go of that one
And I'll find mine.
Run into you
Everytime I walk out my door.
Oh, it's precious
Cause you've never held my hand like that before.
No need to stop and wave,
You stay calm and I'll be brave.
Don't ever look down on me
Don't ever feel bad for me.
I've got it down
You showed me again
Just so you know.
Don't push me around
I know you resent that I'm alone
Pity and mercy
Do little for me
You know me better than anyone.
Go get your girl
She's looking at you like you're crazy.
We can pretend you never even knew me.
It'll work out
Don't let go of that one
And I'll find mine.
Oh, find mine.
Find mine.
Look at me look at me,
I've got time to find.
Mine. [4x]
I've got it down
You showed me again
Just so you know.
Don't push me around
I know you resent that I'm alone
Pity and mercy
Do little for me
You know me better than anyone.
Go get your girl
She's looking at you like you're crazy.
We can pretend you never even knew me.
It'll work out
Don't let go of that one
And I'll find mine.
I'll find mine
I quit smoking come July,

Bodies steaming up the windows,

My last summer, my last summer with you.
She is the one next to me when I wake up in the morning
She is the one who listens even though I know i'm boring
When I'm awake when I'm away
She is the one who knows whats going on before i say
I am the one who ruins everything before its started
And everyone's a nice guy you could trust them so good hearted
It gets me low, when I'm alone
I am the one who's blowing all he's got so get me some
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
I am the one
I am the punk who thinks that getting drunk is conversation
I'll talk about the duplicate, it ends the complication
I change my ways, just for today
Right now, I need to run, I need to get away
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
In the same old situation, make the most of the occasion
And I feel as lame as anyone
There's no answer to it and they can't prove it
And I feel the same as anyone, as anyone
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
Never was a navy brat, but my father was, ya...
He warned me not to make friends with weather.
My love rests in a shipwreck.
With a compass in his head.
I'll wait for him, like vultures wait for bodies.
Please send the wind out, I hear his voice now, at the bottom of the blue.
I'll get my coat, it'll be the second coming outside, when I return with you.
I'm a ship like you. One sail. One sea.
You and Me.
And I left my soul next to the shore.
One sail. One sea.
Wait with my face in sun.
That makes me look less young.
I miss your half- Irish grin, and our love is growing upside down.
They say you'll never make it home!
But I will wait, won't bury your clothes.
Please send the wind out, and bring him back now,
because he is to me my life.
Think about sinking down.
Think about all of it.
Think his face drowning out.
Don't tell me.
You're done for.
I don't need to hear.
You're done for.
You can tell me what you are running from.
I need you.
More than you need you.
I can see you're really really running.
May I ask you where you gonna run to?
And you think you're really really funny
well i don't think you're as funny as you do
We all feel like we're breaking sometime.
But I won't let you go tonight.
Stay awake.
Stay awake survive.
I've got nineteen stars that I.
Gave your name.
Tonight.
I wanna scream.
Wanna scream your name.
Star light, star bright, can save.
You're my wish tonight.
Don't tell me, it doesn't matter
I'll tell you.
What matters.
Bare feet in the summer.
Open windows at night.
You think that no one needs you.
You have nothing to see through.
Well I needed you.
Don't I count?
Lets fight.
Show me anger.
Fierce fists clutching onto air
Show me anything
Just show me you care
Stay awake.
Stay awake survive.
I've got nineteen stars that I.
Gave your name.
Tonight.
I wanna scream.
Wanna scream your name.
Star light, star bright, can save.
You're my wish tonight.
No one can catch me.
The way that you catch me.
The way that you keep me when I'm out of time.
What if I need you?
What if I can't see you?
And I'm running out of life.
No one can catch me.
The way that you catch me.
The way that you keep me when I'm out of time.
What if I need you?
What if I can't see you?
And I'm running out of life.
Please,
Stay awake.
Stay awake survive.
I've got nineteen stars that I.
Gave your name.
Tonight.
I wanna scream.
Wanna scream your name.
Star light, star bright, can save.
Stood by my missus in the lobby.
Asked to carry bags of Madame.
Elevators rush to the sea.
Rummaged through my coat for the key.
After tea lounged on the sofa.
My lady spoke of everyone she knew there.
She paused.
Grabbed my wrist.
Said,"Now, darling there he is."
I looked up.
My surroundings stirred and smeared.
His eyes calm and distant.
His mouth so severe.
Though half his age I was.
I've never been in love.
Before then.
Max, you're so distraught.
Perhaps, I'll help you out.
Your wife was so much more than me.
But I can be her now.
I can be her now.
Rush down the stairs to that man.
Mr.Summer, he nodded his head.
With laughter in his eyes.
A smirk followed close behind.
"We're strangers but I'm sure we should be married."
I spoke to my master.
She nodded her head.
Though I was young and scared.
With Max standing there.
His little whispers, Love Me. Love Me.
That's all I ask for, Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something.
[Chorus]
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the window...
That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer.
Then he stole her.
voilet wrists and then her ankles
Silent Pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares
Were his dreams.
[Chorus]
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
I will
Hear their voices.
I'm a glass child.
I am Hannah's regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There's bath tubs
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene
Some say sufferings not much
But I say...
We make sure to know
We know a lot of who we're killing
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We're all different right?
(We're all different right)
Age is one, other side, different lines,
Different roles,
Different rules to abide by,
And all these lines self divide to races of men,
Cause we're all different right?
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We're all different right?
(We're all different right)
Step over,
Step over that clever line,
Gotta figure out which side is right,
Choose a destiny to live by
If you wanna live or die or fight
And only one side wins
And what I think of this I don't know
It's not that I'm afraid of dying,
It's just, I'm so afraid to live
Some say that clevers as they come.
But I say,
We slowly learn to biteupon the sun
Perfect's finally gone and
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We fell apart
We all fell apart
Underestimate what it means to me
We're all different right?
(We're all different right)
Step over,
Step over that clever line,
Gotta figure out which side is right,
Choose a destiny to live by
If you wanna live or die or fight
And only one side wins
And what I think of this I don't know
It's not that I'm afraid of dying,
It's just, I'm so afraid to live
Hate is what fuesl our wars and bloody lips.
Don't listen to love.
But I can sing songs
And I can sing about how I know
I know that this is wrong
Step over,
Step over that clever line,
Gotta figure out which side is right, Choose a destiny to live by
If you wanna live or die or fight
And only one side wins
And what I think of this I don't know
It's not that I'm afraid of dying,
It's just, I'm so afraid to live
Some say sufferings not much
So I met a guy
He's from New Jersey
Took me out to get some food
What you do I asked I play the guitar
Well baby I play the guitar too
Do you have plans for Saturday
Do you think that you could watch me play
I don't know it depends on what's goin' on backstage
So we talked some more of scales and chords
And when I first attempted to
And he told me that's not the way to go
I said baby I don't get you
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
So he started playing a melody
And wanted me to start soloing
I don't know quite what to do
He said pick it up and I'll help you through
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
It's too late now
I'll show you how
Put that guitar down
Put that guitar down
Dadalaladada
Dadalaladadada
Time oh time it slips so fine
It kills me about every time
I decide that time has come
Figure I'll go get me some
That's not what your supposed to do
Don't dare go back the failures too
Maybe I'm a failure too so lets get on with it
Don't you ever play what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got the time to figure out
what makes you smile or makes you tend to lie
It's too late now
And I'll show you how
Put that guitar down
Put that guitar down
So I met a guy
He's from New Jersey
Learned a little more than I thought I would.
Love Me
Love Me
Love Me
Too bad you knew me.
When I wasn't ready.
I wasn't ready.
Did I say, "Come and get me?"
Too bad I held on.
When you tried to tell me.
This was wrong.
Well, is this wrong?
I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green.
Isn't it strange to think that you created all of me?
Done by the hands of a broken artist.
You painted black where my naked heart is.
I finally know what wrong is.
Now I finally know that you bleed for nothing.
Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking.
On display through a soul still breaking.
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?
You can't erase these.
Lines you can't save me.
You can't display me.
You know what dismay means.
I can't even try to.
Remember what I knew.
Before I became your.
Model to claim no.
I am no masterpiece.
So strange that you made all of me.
I grew tired.
You expired.
You finished me.
Now that I'm all that you planned.
Well tell me what do you think?
Too bad you knew me.
I wasn't ready.
I can do whatever I want like you.
She began to die.
Indiana that's not right.
Indiana that's not life.
Then she began to fight.
Indiana make it mine.
Indiana make this mine.
So pale and white.
Determined in rust and ruin.
A dew drenched hour.
Colonel sir her name's not yours.
I can do whatever I want like you.
Like You...
Frail, gothic eyes.
A damsel, a somber sky.
She faints on isles.
Mademoiselle, hold tight your tongue.
I can do whatever I want like you.
Is this where the brave hearts hide?
Oh no.
Give me a minute
I need a second
Got to breathe there
It's Just one of those things
wish I could tell you
How much I need you
And how much you
need me to go
Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, just one of those things
I know I made it seem
Like all was written down
And I hid all my pain
And now I bring it out
And you'll be scared at first
cuz it's such an ugly blow
I don't know which is worse
to learn or not to know
Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, just one of those things
Please don't listen
to what I'm gonna tell you
Look in my eyes and know
I simply had to give up
But I didn't let go without struggle
you know, I still love you
It's just, it's just one of those things
I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us
I tried to tell you a million times
You have always been one of us
Please don't listen
(I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us)
Please don't listen
(I tried to tell you a million times
That you have always been one of us)
I saw you with her dear.
You tried to hide away.
She came through the back door.
You always had your secret ways.
I was so drowsy then.
My fault.
I'm so careless.
I gave you one too many pills.
My oh my.
My alibi.
Restore my fate in these.
Words so clear.
My failure dear.
Lies tucked away in me.
Oh yeah Oh Yeah
You wanted to play this game.
I can play it too.
Come here baby I will show you what this girl can do.
A mattress for a coffin suites you very fine.
You'll feel me with my others as you're sewn under the seams.
My Oh My
My alibi
Restore my fate in these
Words so clear
My failure dear
Lies tucked away in me
Too tired to ride this train home,
It's just gone on for way too long.
I envy what they all have,
But I know if I got it,
I'd give it right back,
I'd give it right back.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
Too proud to send out an S.O.S.
I fear that karma's catching up.
I'm looking for a quick escape,
To close my eyes and feel the rage.
I see the ones who got a taste of their dreams,
I think I want it more than them,
But wanting is what children do,
And taking is for ruined men.
You gotta earn your way.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
I am falling away. I am flowing away.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
My dreams remind me of an ocean.
They feel so open, like you could float in them.
My dreams remind me of the seasons.
They're always changing. I must chase after them.
My dreams remind me of the seasons.
Why is it always the ones we love we try and hide
And give our laughter to perfect strangers?
Why oh why did I say those words
When I saw your face and the way it hurt
I couldn't stop it.
Do you think I enjoy this? Oh no...
Please don't confirm it. It's not truthful.
My ugly mouth, damn those words that come out.
Don't dare point the finger
Don't accept the consequence,
It's not my fault.
My ugly mouth, turn it all inside out.
Wanna tell you I love you,
All I'm hearing is monsters saying,
"Get out, Get out, Get out."
What If I told you every night
I watch your face by candle light,
Silent and your protector.
It's sad to say you'll never know
All the nights I never slept at all,
Just wanted to know you.
Not proud of my temper.
Oh no... Don't give up on me.
I'm doing better.
My ugly mouth, damn those words that come out.
Don't dare point the finger
Don't accept the consequence,
It's not my fault.
My ugly mouth, turn it all inside out.
Wanna tell you I love you,
All I'm hearing is monsters saying,
"Get out."
Won't you leave me alone?
(Won't you stay?)
Won't you get up and go?
(You're my only love.)
I don't love you no more.
I don't love you no more.
My ugly mouth, damn those words that come out.
Don't dare point the finger
Don't accept the consequence,
It's not my fault, yeah.
My ugly mouth, turn it all inside out.
Wanna tell you I love you,
All I'm hearing is monsters saying,
"Get out, Get out, Get out."
Setting up Sunday
Watching the winter grow so, oh, no
We're making excuses
For Insecurities
It's not about me
Oh, it's never about me
Now I can't go on
I'm lost and alone
Now my lovers gone
I'm lost and alone
Kid, I'm right here
and I'm not leaving
There's no way to make you stay
But, I'm saving all my worries for
The day you don't need me
We're selling out Monday
Watching the children grow, so cold, no
Oh they're wearing our hands down
Our human frailties
It's not about me
Oh, it's never about me
Now I can't go on
I'm lost and alone
Now my lovers gone
I'm lost and alone
Kid I'm right here
and I'm not leaving
There's no way to make you stay
But, I'm saving all my worries for
That day you don't need me
Kid I'm right here
It's now morning
There's no way
Please stay
Setting up Sunday
Watching their hearts in soil
Disreguard what we know
Well your voice is so low
Will I stay
Will I go this evening
See the light on the rail
Reflect red off the tail lights
In front of us.
Slowly leading.
Heed my warning my darling
Don't let the twilight drown
Feel the shoreline thriving
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around
Well we pull of the road,
Sinking slow, sinking slow
And the gravel recedes into dust
And the unfaithful sun
Went to burn all alone
Just to love, just for love
Just for plain simple love.
Heed my warning my darling
Don't let the twilight drown
Feel the shoreline thriving
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around
Oh oh
Heed my warning my darling
Don't let the twilight drown
Feel the shoreline thriving
Turn around
Turn around
Oh, Play along.
She wills it.
Oh, Sunday came.
Promised you'd tell her.
She sat up in bed.
Answered your call dear.
Smeared purple and red.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
She sat up with her eyes wide.
You fell in love with a girl you knew.
You've come to say goodbye.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
Under a cheap July sky.
Tell her.
Tell Mary.
After the first touch.
Her skirt boring.
Her voice deep and charming at first.
You could make her come back once in a while.
If you painted a fresco.
There she'd be with her powder half falling off.
So perfect from far.
Meet me at the pictures Mary.
Adam said that he was leaving.
Meet me.
Meet Me.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
She sat up with her eye's wide.
You fell in love with a girl you knew.
With a girl you knew.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
She sat up with her eyes wide.
You fell in love with a girl you knew.
And you've come to say goodbye.
You're gonna leave her tonight.
Under a cheap July sky.
Tell her.
Oh my god there's his eyes again
Turn around and fake indifference
Then I'll watch his smooth black silhouette disappear
Too many bodies fill the club
Too many faces over done
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Watch him leave the floor
My body's edging towards the door
I return instead
I'm not done pretending yet
Never done pretending yet
I'm indifferent.
Let me go
Gonna dance and think of him no more
Never, never understand the words I wrote
Never mind aheart thats broken right
He could never be mine
Something that I do is fight, fight it
I'm indifferent to you
I've got nothing for you
He stares at her across the floor
My undressed heart now an open door
He order drinks
Now the scene is falling through
Over there, they're not over there
Once empty corner now filled with her
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Watch him leave the floor
My body's edging towards the door
And I return instead
I'm not done pretending yet
Never done pretending yet
I'm indifferent.
Let me go
Gonna dance and think of him no more
Never, never understand the words I wrote
Never mind aheart thats broken right
He could never be mine
Something that I do is fight, fight it
I'm indifferent to you
I've got nothing for you
Empty spaces and empty spaces
(empty spaces)
And rocking numbers
(and rocking numbers)
And I can't hear it
Empty spaces and rocking numbers
And reaching for the banister
I'm indifferent
Let me go
Dance and think of him no more
Never never understand the words
Never mind a heart thats broken right...
I'm indifferent
Let me go
Gonna dance and think of him no more
Never never understand the words I wrote
Never mind a heart thats broken right
You could never be mine
Something that I do is fight, fight it
I'm indifferent to you
I've got nothing for you
I've got nothing for you now
I've got nothing for you now
I've got nothing for you
You've locked your soul and kept the key.
I'm all yours and it's no secret.
I adore the way your mouth moves when you say those three words,
I adore the way your mouth moves when you repeat them,
Will you repeat them?
Don't be careful with me.
I'm not so delicate.
I give you my heart.
I know the chance I'm taking.
Don't hesitate in love.
It can leave your soul undone.
You can't stick your toes in the water,
You gotta jump and finally go underwater.
You're holding back and I can tell.
When you only give half, you're never whole.
I am ready to trust your eyes in all this darkness.
I am ready to see your sides that cause you unrest,
Rest them.
Don't be careful with me.
I'm not so delicate.
I give you my heart.
I know the chance I'm taking.
Don't hesitate in love.
It can leave your soul undone.
You can't stick your toes in the water,
You gotta jump and finally go underwater.
Don't be careful with me.
I'm not so delicate.
I give you my heart.
I know the chance I'm taking.
Don't hesitate in love.
It can leave your soul undone.
You can't stick your toes in the water,
One, two, three, alright
Your house, the coffee tastes like dirt
Not because I'm hurt, that's just what it tastes like
Dirt roads remind me of my skin not because I'm wasting away
With the gravel you grounded, that's what it feels like
I won't be sorry, won't go moping around
In fact I'm doing quite well for now
Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now, but I'll fold it nice and neat
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready
This tree with lover's heart engraved
Not because I'm lonely, just because I hate it
Sunshine lives underneath my nose
Not because I'm burning all my hopes
Scorching all my favors far as I can turn
I'm not bitter, I'm not mouthing out words
Look at my face, believe me now
Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now, but I'll fold it nice and neat
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready
Alright
Let's talk about giving up, that sounds so bitter sweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now, but I'll fold it nice and neat
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready
Turn around there's those eyes again.
Turn around fake indifference and I.
Watch their cold, dark silhouettes disappear.
A hundred bodies fill this room.
And all their faces overdone.
Pain is foreign, foreign to us.
I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Was it something I did wrong?
Roses, roses cold.
Roses, roses sold out.
Turn around reds and whites again.
I'd sell my kicks for one more low tar.
Fevers hand in hand with shoelace bracelets.
Why are some girls so naive?
He didn't unbutton your blouse to see.
A better view of your heart.
Oh yeah, can't blame you for trying.
Sing it soft.
Make it slow.
Apples parachute the boys back down.
Fill it up.
Overflow.
A new, improved modern way to feel.
I don't even know you.
You won't even know I'm gone.
Pray for them
I often loose track
So I took a drag
of my first cigarrette
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
of twenty seventh street
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
of Newports edge
Legoblock cliffs
and an ocean that doesn't
deserve the sounds of silence
I'd swear on a dead artists grave
I found a spot
where the drunk never got to
And it rocks me gently silent, silent
If I never surface
then it doesn't matter
Hold my breath
It's silent, silent, now
Diligent
Escape by the water
Not sick of it
It only gets harder
That's no excuse
to block all the cliches and
reason for kicks
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
and her shoulders bare
nothing to demand of them
laying back on a lonely stone wall
and passersby look passed it all
I found a spot
where the drunk never got to
And it rocks me gently silent, silent
If I never surface
then it doesn't matter
Hold my breath
It's silent, silent
I found a spot
where the drunk never got to
It rocks me gently silent, silent
If I never surface
then it doesn't matter
Hold my breath
She is the one next to me when I wake up in the morning
She is the one who listens even though I know i'm boring
When I'm awake when I'm away
She is the one who knows whats going on before i say
I am the one who ruins everything before its started
And everyone's a nice guy you could trust them so good hearted
It gets me low, when I'm alone
I am the one who's blowing all he's got so get me some
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
I am the one
I am the punk who thinks that getting drunk is conversation
I'll talk about the duplicate, it ends the complication
I change my ways, just for today
Right now, I need to run, I need to get away
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
In the same old situation, make the most of the occasion
And I feel as lame as anyone
There's no answer to it and they can't prove it
And I feel the same as anyone, as anyone
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
Please don't forget me,
I'm going away
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky
Where they don't need to know all about me,
I just need to feel safe.
I've got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide.
Skeletons in my bed.
Don't ask where I'm going.
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait.
Don't forget what I said.
don't forget my letter.
Every night I pray for you.
I don't got no religion,
Isn't it that something
I'll miss those days?
I saved that bottle,
It's now 10 years aged
I've got some bibles I could sell for money
And a pair of fresh shaved legs
Won't you baby come with me,
I've got extra space
In my car, in my heart, in my mind
Look there's the passenger seat
by the postcards you gave (Don't know where I'm going)
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait.
Don't forget what I said,
Don't forget my letter
Every night I pray you
I don't got no religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days?
But he said, "Slow down, slow down
Think it over, we've all got wretched closets
But silly girl pride kills more than aids lately."
I said, "Come on
I've thought it over
I don't wanna die here
I have no desire to get married"
I can't race the others anymore,
No, I must learn to race myself.
I'm going away,
I'm going my way.
Finally it's my time
To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait
Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)
Please forget my letter.
Every night I pray for you,
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days?
I, I'm not going halfway (i'll find my way)
I, I
Every night I pray for you,
Don't believe in heaven
Or that it could be a happy place.
I'd like to think I don't have roots yet,
Still some traveling in me.
Should have worn back packs through Europe,
Back when I turned 23.
There's still Ireland and the Orients and Temples, I'm sure.
Places you go, to learn who you are.
I've got to keep looking
And someday I'll be in the place where I feel most like me.
I could be cooking in Paris and needing nobody at all.
I could move back to my hometown,
Meet a good man and we'd fall in love.
We'd have family and birthdays and cars,
Never concerned about who we are.
A life that's so stable and nice,
could it be a place where I feel most like me?
I can't help wishing I could stay right here,
Not moving, not rushing, just breathing in air,
Not thinking, not worrying, just look to the sea,
We know most people, they get tiresome.
We gotta find a way to get around them.
The open road, it ain't my home,
But when you get close everyone else looks lonesome.
Let's hitch a ride, just somewhere stark where the love won't recognise your face.
I hold you close, we'll find new names and then forget why we are running.
Tell me,
We're in this together.
Relax,
I won't let them near you.
I heard they got a sun of gold that shines down on Mexico.
When we get there, all tired and broke,
We'll leave the Camaro in the desert.
If we get caught I wouldn't turn you in,
I would pretend like I don't know you, if I had to.
It'd break my heart but if I knew you got away,
It'd give me peace of mind till the day I died.
Tell me,
We're in this together.
Relax,
I won't let them near you.
But I awoke to blaring sirens so I covered you with my jacket.
They bound my hands with metal bands but I screamed to be distractin'.
I drove away in their back seat, saw your crying eyes behind the tumble weeds.
When I get out, I'll come to find you, cause you're my other half, I never told you that,
Never told you that.
Tell me,
We're in this together.
Relax,
I won't let them near you.
Tell me, (Tell me)
We're in this together.
Relax, (Relax)
I won't let them near you.
O-oh oh.
Tell me, (Tell me)
That we're in this together, together, together, together.
O-oh. Relax, (Relax) relax,
I could call your mother to tell her the truth,
She could give the message to you.
I could write a letter or give you a note,
But I won't,
I won't.
Because you're better off
To never know
My alibi
Which is loving you so.
I never cheated or looked astray,
Don't know who spread that fire,
But I think that you know deep down inside
You are my hearts desire.
Because you're better off
To never know
My alibi
Which is loving you so.
I hold you back, I hold your hand.
You're better off when your're your own man.
Baby, take your last look, don't say goodbye.
Love don't mean that much anyway.
Don't give me a hard time if I close my eyes,
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I could write a letter or give you a note,
But I won't,
I don't care to know, the time on the wall.
The placement of my shoes, on the wood floor.
The last boat has left. Can't carry you afloat.
I fear the empty, wet bed. The empty grey coat.
And I won't go till you're asleep.
You open your mouth, like an asthma attack, you repeat,
“If all that you take from this is courage, then I've no regrets.”
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it won't cave in and will be alright.
I wanted to save this last light.
With dawn comes certainty of what we'll be, for now hold me lightly.
I look to the floor.
Your hair like cut grass.
Your vomit it forms, a gold chain 'round your neck.
I won't wake you up. No need for last words.
These last idle hours. More than I deserve.
“...You take from this is, courage than I've no regrets.”
Don't settle for less again. You've become more than I could have become for you.
Could have inspired to be. Hesitation will leave dents on the walls and the rail.
And your scent will leave me with more faith in myself.
I wanted to kiss you goodnight. No longer can pretend
It won't cave in and will be alright.
Wanted to tell you I lied.
I said I'd make it through this world alright, but I don't care to try.
You hold me close, naked.
I don't feel a thing.
Your zippers are the cherry,
But I don't feel anything.
Your mind is stranded down,
I am closing you in my arms,
And I prefer overweight than plastic anyday.
Hug me till you drug me,
Honey, hug me anyway.
Your eyes are dusty, dirt porn magazines.
You're lazy, selfish,
But you were raised that way.
It's a whore that was bred.
I'll take your pants,
You take my hair,
And let us dance and cheers
To happy and depressed.
Hug me till you drug me,
Honey, hug me.
Drug me till you love me,
Honey, love me any...
Wait. Wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere.
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
In this brave new world that slowly passes by.
I'm just a girl learning to act as planned.
I was programmed to be Catholic,
But I ran.
I changed my race,
I changed my name,
I prayed to them,
"Please, what is brave?"
I am loyal because I was simply raised that way.
Hug me till you drug me,
Honey, hug me.
Hug me till you suffocate me,
Hug me any...
Wait. Wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere.
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
In this brave new world that slowly passes...
By the way,
I never like your hands in me.
Never like your ideas of what is beautiful
Or really truly holy.
And I must say,
You've thrown your apathy away.
Grown back into your diapers,
Will you die first,
before admit the truth?
Wait. Wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere.
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
In this brave new world that slowly passes by.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
In this brave new world that slowly passes by.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
In this brave new world that slowly passes by.
Wait. Wait.
I swear I've seen that face somewhere.
It's the very face I fell for in the human race.
I can't lie.
I was brainwashed to be honest,
When I was younger,
I wish that I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance
Lasts for more than a shoe shine
I'm older, Took all the words of my mother
Saying it could be worse
Could be born with that disease
Instead of catching it first
So let's go back to the first time that I met you
In your Chevy
With your hands stretched
And me crying, screaming
"Mercy, mercy"
But I know that I was put here
To fight vikings in a cold war
With my arms out and fighting,
Dare me, dare me
Well these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you what you want to hear
Cause they think it's better, better
But you better know how
To point out the liars
You've got to weigh your wars
Make sure you're not fighting for nothing, nothing
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
It feels like this world has
Been growing slowly upside-down
Maybe I should move to China
Straighten this mess out
Maybe I'll be a poet
Watch all the sky for falling words
Write about my grandma's curtains
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse..
I've got my mouth, it's a weapon
It's a bombshell, it's a cannon
I've got my words
I won't give them mercy, mercy
Well these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you what you want to hear
Cause they think it's better, better
But you better know how
To point out the liars
You're got to weigh your wars
Make sure you're not fighting for nothing, nothing
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
I've got my words, I hope they hurt you
I hope they scar you, I hope they heal you...
I hope they cut you open, make you see all the war 'n
For all the wrong reasons, make you see that some things
Are worth bruising for
Make you see that your name is your honor code
Make you see that your hands you're uncaren for
They can choose where your sweat and your blood will go
Make you see your life's not to be lived alone
Run a split through your head
You're worth nothing, nothing
Well these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And we'll tell you what you want to hear
Cause they think it's better, better
But you better know how
To point out the liars
You're got to weigh your wars
Make sure you're not fighting for nothing, nothing
Well these things take time
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you what you want to hear
Cause they think it's better, better
But you better know how
To point out the liars
You've got to weigh your wars
Make sure you're not fighting for nothing, nothing
I've decided I'm done. Don't care to move on.
Not used to losing someone. If I lost faith, was no choice I made.
I'll accept the excuse of no one.
Your careful silence can't replace, your stupid smile.
Casseroles and Handshakes, can't restore 12 damn years of ours.
You stole me.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
I'll be with you someday
Take down my mirror, my pictures of costumes, and youth.
Throw aside posters, and books, and aged fortunes, and all that reminds me of you.
With a pat on the back they say, "Honey, it's time to move on. I'm sure we can find you a hobby, now that he's gone."
They stole you.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
They don't understand. We were like this since the first time we met.
We were born holding hands.
Give me flowers and cards, I'll smile all they want,
If they give me what I want.
Give me what I want.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
You, were unaware that diamonds came with debt.
Ironic sure, but that's the way it is, got my vows off the internet.
You, say crying weakens my immune system,
But don't forget that if you pray for me I'll pray for you and cash flow
too, why not?
I said, if you pray for me i'll pray for you and cash flow too, why not?
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs not,
The violins or the words the pope was saying.
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs but,
No drunken snoring or real hallelujahs.
And some people swore they saw the devil,
But most prayed they wouldn't last a winter
It was a black wedding,
Throw those blessings all around
So, you're finally viewing this at 5 foot 6.
it's not roses like your mama said,
We're not spoon fed anymore.
So you gonna tell
All our kids I was an accident.
Ironic true, but it's the way you act when you're upset
So let's take this outside
We see our mirrors from outside,
and he said we are why we cry,
we stay hidden for all our lives
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs not,
The violins or the words the pope was saying.
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs but,
No drunken snoring or real hallelujahs.
And some people swore they saw the devil.
But most prayed they wouldn't last a winter.
It was a black wedding,
Throw those blessings all around.
What else is there to know when our Bible's here?
What else is there to know when your Bible's here?
There are no lies to find when the page is bare
What else is there to know when your tax is shared?
Outside, we're seeing mirrors from outside
and he said we are why we cry,
we stay hidden all our lives
It was a black wedding,
You could heard the organs play,
not words the pope was saying
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs but,
no drunken snoring or real hallelujahs.
The gravedigger said it's his cathedral
We drank holy water like it was the last supper
It was a black wedding,
Throw those blessings all around.
(What else is there to know when our Bible's here?)
It was a black wedding,
Your girl has blessings all around.
(What else is there to know when your tax is shared?)
It was a black wedding,
You threw me out on the sidewalk last night,
You dumped my clothes out the window too.
I threw rocks at the glass panes and wood,
We need to talk I needed a word with you.
We made up on the couch on the floor,
But you told me I needed to lose
A few pounds on the body I loved,
I went to work and I talked with a man I grew up with.
He said,
"Oh, a sad sight you are, you are slowly unraveling me.
Oh, no tears on a Tuesday you need better than what he can give you.
Better than what he can give you."
He held me tight for longer than normal,
I cuddled close, I couldn't believe it.
He whispered words in my ear it was nice,
But it wasn't the same when he called me the wrong name.
I ran off down the street down the corner,
And he caught me in his arms.
And once again he delivered a comfort,
A need I had known ever since I was young.
He said,
"Oh, a sweet sight you are, you are slowly unraveling me.
Oh, I 'd kill for your heart. What a strange man indeed who would lose you.
A strange man indeed who could lose you."
Oh, a sweet sight you are, you are slowly undoing me.
Oh, I'd kill for your heart. What a strange man indeed who could lose you.
She's got tiger eyes and they're floating across the room,
But they stop on you and they don't move away.
She's got lips like razor blades that shine like moons,
Born in Tennessee, she's got it out for me.
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down.
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in.
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Now I've seen that look of yours two years ago,
It's all a game to you but now I can play it too.
Hard as hell to find a good man and I, I gave him all of me,
You won't take him that easy.
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down.
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in.
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
You walk to him, pull up your skirt to sit down,
Whisper in his ear, it comes so naturally.
The music's loud, but I still hear his voice,
The words I won't forget, so loud and clear.
His words so loud and clear, he said
"Mary Ann,
Won't you leave me alone for a while?
Can't you see that lady sitting there?
Well she is the only one that makes me crazy.
Mary Ann,
Won't you leave me alone for a while? I see your beauty.
Mary Ann,
There's only one girl here that I want truly.
Mary Ann,
Leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
Mary Ann,
Monst Monst
Monst Monst
(CHROUS)
Monster.
How Should I feel?
Creatures lie here,
Looking through the window.
(CHROUS)x2
ch ch check this out !
His little whispers,
Love me, love me.
Thats all I ask for,
Love me, love me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel somthing,
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel somthing.
Turn it up!
(CHROUS)x2
That night he caged her,
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer,
Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles,
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
(CHROUS)
I will,
Hear their voices.
I'm a glass child.
I am Hannah's regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There's bath tubs,
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattoed in his veins, yeah
Monster. (monster)
How should I feel? (how should I feel)
Creatures lie here, (creatures lie here)
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I am not anymore surprised at your phone calls at 4 in the morning
(Hello, hello)
You try to write me letters like you've transformed into Charles Dickens overnight or something
(Oh, I'm sorry)
And I doubt that you've considered that maybe,
Just maybe those genes that you were forced in,
Although heavy, are no excuse for your lack of trust in anyone, even you.
My boyfriend used my palm, as an ashtray,
And that was on his good days
My scar looks like a bear, or a rabbit
They said, "It's just his bad habits."
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I'm not even scared to come cure your past,or try to reinvent it.
(Just leave it alone)
I can be your lover, and your mother,
And your father who never really had to take you fishing or teach compassion.
(You'll never know)
You used my voice as your spokesman
You couldn't walk on your own feet
Ain't that horrid
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
(What's the use, I've caught the blindness)
He's got inside my head
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
Are you going to tell me that you can't bear this weight that was a present 12 years from this day?
Well this town's on the edge of the dry, dry ocean,
And you're thinking you're immune to getting torn or more
Yeah...Yeah...
Come on
He's got inside my bed
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
(What's the use, I've caught the blindness)
He's got inside my bed
He's sleeping in my head
He's got hold of my hand
I feel like I'm shadowed,
By hazy stars above me
And they're all shining bright for me.
I've seen days of chaos,
Winter rains that wouldn't leave,
But I came clean 'cause I believe.
I wanna find love and I wanna keep it,
I had it once but I didn't mind leavin' it,
But I was younger then
And I learned everything alone,
Alone.
Love is an aeroplane,
It can travel across the world,
And life you high above,
And still it'll never change.
Love is a gentle word,
Even when your pride is hurt,
Won't turn you away,
Won't bring up yesterday.
Even though the days grow
Longer by the minute,
I know there is hope in hope itself.
When I'm growing tired
And I feel fate is driftin',
I remember love is what I'm working toward.
Love is a heavy kiss,
When you don't deserve it,
It forgives, forgets it,
Never turns it's back on you.
Love is an empty cup,
It takes time to fill it up,
Even when you can't see it,
You can feel it lift in you.
Ahh, ahh, ahh.
(X 4)
Love is, love is, love is everything.
I saw you with her dear.
You tried to hide away.
She came through the back door.
You always had your secret ways.
I was so drowsy then.
My fault.
I'm so careless.
I gave you one too many pills.
My oh my.
My alibi.
Restore my fate in these.
Words so clear.
My failure dear.
Lies tucked away in me.
Oh yeah Oh Yeah
You wanted to play this game.
I can play it too.
Come here baby I will show you what this girl can do.
A mattress for a coffin suites you very fine.
You'll feel me with my others as you're sewn under the seams.
My Oh My
My alibi
Restore my fate in these
Words so clear
My failure dear
Fate leave on my doorstep.
A soldier, a soldier.
A fable, a fortune.
I long for.
I long for.
Ever so secret I see.
What's in store for me.
I won't let it mislead.
Oh no...no, It hasn't happened yet.
As for the dying.
And the fading.
And resolve to be.
Okay with the natural decay.
I'll choose illusion.
And safety a hundred times over.
I'm prepared to be happy and deceived.
I'm supposed to be happy and deceived.
Let us find perfection.
And nonsense in all we are.
Save defects for later.
We're angels for now.
Hide my uniform pride.
Your arrogant side.
I'm aching already.
Hide your taciturn, mundane expressions.
Affection will carry us a little while more.
Let us be entertained.
Let me believe it ends this way.
As for this dying.
And as for the rotting.
I'm okay with this natural decay.
I'll choose illusions.
And safety a hundred times over.
I'm prepared to be happy and deceived.
I'm supposed to be happy and deceived.
I'm prepared to be happy and deceived.
Drop this curtain.
He saw a lonely girl.
She saw a lonely world.
It was a canvas,
slyly careless.
A florestan lieder.
And his was a dying breed.
Courage came only from
his symphonies.
A decorative smile
to fade out.
His concerto in A
Come on.
A second chance at love.
The moments dead.
Make you feel like it's never staying.
Made love to a baby grand.
A tempest refined inside his hands.
He had one girl, and one song.
Bone fide wine and roulade.
But he had to give it up.
His heart was raw.
But his fingers numb.
His first words were his last words.
An aesthete since first sun.
Come on.
A second chance at love.
The moments slept.
Make you feel like it's never staying.
It burned.
The first attempt or two.
But I remembered you.
I need that moment back.
Please don't, don't don't.
A tremor for death.
Ivories that sliced sedatives in half.
Releif in the Rhine.
Washed away regrets.
And let him char before he
carressed the ground.
Dear artist you will rise again.
A last arabesque in faint fashion.
Come on.
A second change at love.
The moments dead.
Make you feel like it's never ending.
It burned.
The first attempt or two.
But I remembered you.
I need that moment back.
Please don't forget.
He woke.
A final view of blue.
Dear cordias. Wet rouge.
Relieve romance to graves.
Did you think about what I said last night?
Knowing you, you probably didn't
I could picture your face on the other side
Completely oblivious
Do you really feel like this love is real?
I wish I could join you
I'm bored of your love
I'm bored of your face
I'm bored of your random all over the place attitude
I'm bored of you
So, I thought about what you said last night
Normally I probably wouldn't
But something you said kept me up all night
I tried to sleep but I just couldn't
I hope you still feel like this love is for real
'Cause I know that I do
I'm in love with your love
In love with your face
In love with almost everything that you say
Yes it's true
I'm in love with you
I'm bored with your love
(I'm in love with your love)
I'm bored of your face
(In love with your face)
I'm bored of your random all over the place attitude
I'm bored of you
(I'm in love with you)
I wish you put effort in trying to make this new
(I would if you asked me, I'd do anything for you)
I wish we were strangers
(It's not like we're strangers)
In all the excitement we'd fall in love
(Guess that's it then)
Can I take you out just this one last time,
We could pretend I never met you
Well I'd love to, sounds like a lovely time,
But I'm sorry, I just can't let you
I'm bored of your love
I'm bored of your love
I'm up to my neck in this mess and I'm sorry
I'll remember your love
Remember your face
When it's over and done it won't quite be the same without you
I'll remember you
(I'll remember you)
I'll remember your love
Remember your face
When it's over and done it won't quite be the same without you
I'll remember you
(I'll remember you)
She was just 5 years old,
A slightly moody day.
She couldn't stay away from that river's edge and I,
I turned my back to count
All the daffodil seas that surrounded,
I closed my eyes and then I heard the water wake up.
And I,
I can still hear that scream;
It's still lingering in the air, everywhere,
"Mother please, save me."
Grab my hand, I can't, I can't.
I can still see that face sink beneath the waves.
"Baby, please breathe for me! Give me time, I am here."
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate.
Yes, the place that baby loved.
Now she can taste it. It took her away.
It's been 5 years since then,
And when it hits September,
I feel like I'm dying again.
Ian still won't even talk to me.
Talk to me. Isn't this pain guilt enough?
I can't even look out the window
Without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.
And I,
I can still hear that scream;
It's still lingering in the air, everywhere, "Mother please, save me."
Grab my hand, I can't, I can't.
I can still see that face sink beneath the waves.
"Baby, please breathe for me! Give me time, I am here."
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate.
Yes, the place that baby loved.
Now she can taste it. It took her away.
And the pain hits me like gunshot,
Oh, and I'm heading on the way to the floor,
I hear her name and it kills me.
Bottles up, bottles up, bottles up.
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.
Ian says it's never enough.
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear.
Cough it up,
Drink it up,
Drink it up.
Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can everybody just lie to me, lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate.
Yes, the place that baby loved.
Now she can taste it. It took her away.
Oh, it took her away, took her away.
So I had a coma
When I crashed my car in the lake.
And I saw your face down there,
I knew it was not mistake.
So I went to the doctor,
And I told him oh my heart will break
If I couldn't see you.
He just gave me more pills,
But I saw you up there.
Still floating by the river.
God you always loved that river.
I bet your heaven looks just like it.
Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now when I'm alone, but when I'm with you,
I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.
We can sit.
We talk about,
Talk about
Butterflies,
Butterflies,
Butterflies,
Gotta think a lot without thinking too much.
You can't suffocate the one you love
Gotta watch yourself but still indulge,
Keep your soul young when you grow old.
Gotta get your rest without sleeping in.
Keep your mind always open.
Accept the road sometimes curves back,
But think of what you have not what you lack.
I didn't know this until you showed up,
You say a lot without talking too much.
I didn't know this until you showed up.
You learn a lot without talking too much,
When you get it just right your Jupiter rings align,
Spin right in time. Your feet fly off the pavement
Your house a tiny spec of dust.
I think I need less of me, and more of us.
You gotta stand up straight and look ahead
put your insecurities to bed
Learn to trust with your eyes shut
Learn to love and not hold back.
When you get it just right your Jupiter rings align,
Spin right in time. Your feet fly off the pavement
Your house a tiny spec of dust.
When you get it just right your Jupiter rings align,
Spin right in time. Your feet fly off the pavement
Your house a tiny spec of dust.
