Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession Think of all the things we put him through In the face of his god would he tell the truth? Still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become Sever the limbs off his torso in sleep And burn what remains so the world may now see No longer... will we wait for your answers Back to the hell where you've come from Think of all the times you've once had Write them in a letter that says goodbye
You'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth
Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions No name to be called redeemer I'll fix him restore him... with the love if no other Think of all the things you did before Write them in a letter that says reborn Following you across the interstate walking away... i'll fire on
On the wrong way out On the causeway to neverwhere
Dear my friends In the time we spent forever after beyond this When will our nightmare ever end?
Come as you are, as you were, As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy. Take your time, hurry up The choice is yours, don't be late. Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria Memoria
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach As I want you to be As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria Memoria
And I swear that I don't have a gun No I don't have a gun
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see And I do not give a damn if you don't believe My problem, it's my problem That I never am happy It's my problem, it's my problem On how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life Do I need to lie to make my way in life
High achiever don't you see Baby, nothing comes for free They say I'm a control freak Driven by a greed to succeed Nobody can stop me
Cause it's my problem If I wanna pack up and run away It's my business if I feel the need to Smoke and drink and sway It's my problem, it's my problem If I feel the need to hide It's my problem if I have no friends And feel I want to die
Give a little, get a lot That’s just how you are with love Give a little, get a lot Yeah, you may be good looking But you’re not a piece of art
Power and control I’m gonna make you fall Power and control I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same But love will always be a game We give and take a little more Eternal game of tug and war
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart Think you’re gonna break my heart Think you’re funny, think you’re smart Yeah, you may be good looking But you’re not a piece of art
Power and control I’m gonna make you fall Power and control I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same But love will always be a game A human vulnerability Doesn't mean that I am weak
If I was an old-school fifty pound boombox (remember them?) Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops (turn it up) And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me When you have to purchase mad D batteries Appreciate every mixtape your friends make You never know we come and go like on the interstate
I think I finally found a note to make you understand If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo It beats for you, so listen close Hear my thoughts in every note Make me your radio Turn me up when you feel low This melody was meant for you Just sing along to my stereo
I only pray you'll never leave me behind Because good music can be so hard to find I take your head and hold it closer to mine Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
Take me, take me, take me down, take me down to the place where we We fell out, we fell out, we fell out of the faith An idle mind is the devil's playground Can't keep my hands to myself as I watch them go 'round
Friends may come & friends may go But still I say If I wait for love, am I waiting for Godot?
Build, build me, build me up, build me up just to break me down Down, down to, down to bone, 'cause it's all that I know An idle mind is the devil's playground Can't keep my hands to myself as I watch them go 'round
Friends may come & friends may go But still I say If I wait for love, am I waiting for Godot?
I'm kicking dust up from under my shoes Here's another, another sunset without you We can make it, that's what you said So I waited and waited and waited
Hang out my window and over your head Stare at your feelings to see where they end You're waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside You've been so composed
You're so heavy, you're so misunderstood And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good When I still could Wait around here for someone else to take me past the good side You've been here so long now
We all know there's always something tearing you apart It's always so much longer than you counted on And it hits you so much harder then you thought But you don't worry, you don't worry 'Cause darling, you've got so much soul
I cannot find a way to describe it It's there inside; all I do is hide I wish that it would just go away What would you do, you do, if you knew What would you do
All the pain I thought I knew All the thoughts lead back to you Back to what was never said Back and forth inside my head I can't handle this confusion I'm unable; come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone All by myself I need to get around this My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you If I show you, I don't think you'd understand 'Cause no one understands
You dream of colors that have never been made, You imagine songs that have never been played. They will try to buy you and your mind. Only the curious have something to find.
It's foreign on this side, And the truth is a bitter friend. But reasons few have I to go back again.
Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day. Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain. There's no path to follow, once you're here. You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs. It's foreign on this side, But it feels like I'm home again.
See this ancient riverbed See where all the follies led Down by the water and Down by the old main drag
I was just some tow-head teen Feeling round for fingers to get in between Down by the water and Down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and Down by the old main drag
Come on cherry cherry you're still very young And we've only just started having fun I'm picking fruit and I choose you, you're so cool No need to save yourself for someone else to come
So we went completely wild Kicked over a city street light Saint Thomas was vandalized And I'm sorry but I'm not surprised
Pick up the phone, pick up the phone Congratulations, I'm having visions of us Breaking everything on our way out of town We're going places you never dreamed of
Oh cherry cherry I'll read your fortune It says here you're too serious and such But I learned one thing cherry you should understand That nothing really matters very much
Hey, don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on Just try your best, try everything you can And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
It just takes some time, little boy you're in the middle of the ride Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)
Hey, you know they're all the same You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in Live right now Yeah, just be yourself It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
I could pick apart the words you say, But never crack the code. 'Cause every little bit you give, Has me screaming for more.
Do you wanna play a little game? It's called trust or fall. But I have taken your mind as a hostage, So I've already won.
Call it a dangerous obsession. You can pretend you won't get caught. I've got a dangerous confession. This is a game that I've never lost It's known as competition if you learn the ropes. Like a kaleidoscope, When I give you a spin, I am in.
I could complicate the words you say. I could not break down that wall. Conversations, always no replies, But you wait and you wait 'til I fall.
Will you come a little closer, dear? Do you wanna have a little fun? Here we go, But you've already won.
Somewhere near the end it said You can't do this I said, I can too Ships sway, rivers shift Oceans form and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine I felt gravity pull (into my eyes) Holding my head straight (looking down) This is the easiest task I've ever had to do
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Ships sway and rivers shift Oceans form and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here
I've lived a lot of different lives Been different people many times I live my life in bitterness And fill my heart with emptiness
And now I see, I see it for the first time There is no crime in being kind Not everyone is out to screw you over Maybe, oh just maybe they just wanna get to know ya
Got different people inside my head I wonder which one that they like best I'm done with tryin' to have it all And endin' up with not much at all
And now the time is here, Baby you don't have to live your life in fear And the sky is clear, is clear of fear Of fear
Don't wanna live in fear and loathing I wanna feel like I am floating Instead of constantly exploding In fear and loathing
And when the time comes along And the lights run out, I know where I will belong When they blow me out
Don't wanna live in fear and loathing I wanna feel like I am floating Instead of constantly exploding In fear and loathing
I wanna be completely weightless I wanna touch the edge of greatness Don't wanna be completely faithless Completely faithless
When the time comes around When the lights will go out When the time comes around When the lights they go out
I go back to Clifton to see my old friends The best people I could ever have met Skin up a fat one, hide from the Feds Something is changing, changing, changing
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain Light a cigarette and wish the world away I got out, I got out, I'm alive but I'm here to stay So I hold two fingers up to yesterday Light a cigarette and smoke it all away I got out, I got out, I'm alive but I'm here to stay
He's down in the kitchen drinking White Lightning He's with my momma, they're yelling and fighting It's not the first time praying for silence Something is changing, changing, changing
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain Light a cigarette and wish the world away I got out, I got out, I'm alive but I'm here to stay So I hold two fingers up to yesterday Light a cigarette and smoke it all away I got out, I got out, I'm alive but I'm here to stay
There's a story for every corner of this place Running so hard you got out but your knees got grazed I'm an old dog but I learned some new tricks yeah
I never meant to get us in this deep I never meant for this to mean a thing Oh, I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase And you got high on every little game I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me When I was staying just out of your reach Begging for the slightest touch Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing gone without a trace Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me Got away from me Before anybody has to bleed
We're all crossing paths For a reason I know that Hoping just to share some laughs Avoid the broken glass Have I met you in the past In a life that I lived last You know they go too fast God knows they go too fast
I don't know the monsters you knew But I'm trying to forget the ones I met too Baby you could help me Baby I could help you
You look at me and you see what I see Because you're looking in the mirror When your with me there's no use in hiding Because you're looking in the mirror Baby baby baby don't look away Because you're looking in the mirror Cause maybe maybe maybe we're just the same Because you're looking in the mirror
It seems this boy bathed in ridicule Too forward, way too physical It's time that I had another I'm always wanting more, if there's another one Give me some more, I'll have another one I'll have a slice of your mother
This boy's so spectacular Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor I want a car I want a car (yeah) I want a car I want a car (yeah)
I see losers losing everywhere If I lose I'll only lose the care that I might have for another I am complete, invincible If I have one principle Then it's to stand at you, brother
This boy's so spectacular Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor I want a car I want a car (yeah) I want a car I want a car (yeah)
If I like cocaine, I'm racing you For organic fresh Echinacea One kick's as good as another If I'm tired, I'm tired of telling you I'm never tired, I'm always better than you Bye boy, run to your mother
This one goes out to the one I love This one goes out to the one I've left behind A simple prop to occupy my time This one goes out to the one I love
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now) Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
This one goes out to the one I love This one goes out to the one I've left behind Another prop has occupied my time This one goes out to the one I love
