you know in all of the time that we've shared
I've never been so scared
doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
. . .

what have we done with innocence
it disappeared with time
it never made much sense
adolescent resident
wasting another night on planning my revenge
one in ten
don't wanna be your monkey wrench
one more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends
now and then I'll try to bend
under pressure
wind up snapping in the end
one in ten
one last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
and all the shit that somehow came along with it
still there's one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I'm free
don't wanna be your monkey wrench
. . .

Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colours
Everything fades in time, it's true.
Wish that I had another
Stabb at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you.
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I selling you out
Sit and watch
You're every mood, mood
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I sellin' you out
Sit and watch
You're every mood, mood, mood, mood
Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you.
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I sellin' you out
Sit and watch
You're every mood, mood, mood, mood
. . .

real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
that's where our heads are
my head and your heart
this is a black out
don't let it go to waste
this is a black out
I want to detonate
when you are so far
I'm falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam my radar
sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
between the handshake and the fuck
you've got me on guard
I've got my head start
my head and your heart
the same in the stars
sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
o.k.

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you've been delt
spare me confession
it's confession you sell
maybe I'll fall behind
but I don't mind
because I'll catch up
I want a song that's indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
will I be happy on the back of the shelf
will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you'll realize
that I get shy and I choke up
what is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I'll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet
take the beating
until I take it back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
. . .

the rain is here
and you my dear
are still my friend
it's true the two of us
are back as one again
I was the one who left you
always coming back
I cannot forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
together now I don't know how this love could end
my lonely heart
it falls apart for you to mend
. . .

too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down
and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he's ordinary
don't the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
kudos my hero
leaving all the best
you know my hero
the one that's on
. . .

these notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew how good it is to see you
these steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
one this is always true
how good it is to see you
I'm done resenting you
you represented me so well
and this I promise you
how could I end up in the hands of someone else
. . .

I was waiting for something
maybe flying machines
that's when I found Lily
the best I'd ever seen
put her on the ceiling
try to maker he my own
people line up to see
but there never seems to be enough space
. . .

I'm hanging on
here until I'm gone
I'm right where I belong
just hanging on
even though I watched you come and go
how was I to know
you'd steal the show?
one day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
and bet it all
I'm hanging on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on
even though I pass this time alone
somewhere so unknown
it heals the soul
you ask for walls
I'll build them higher
we'll lie in the shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much to tall
and I fall
february stars
floating in the dark
temporary scars
february stars
. . .

hello
I've waited here for you
everlong
tonight I throw myself into
and out of the red
out of her head she sang
come down
and waste away with me
down with me
slow how
you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
out of her head she sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop whn I say when
breathe out so I can breathe you in
hold you in
and now I know you've always been
out of your head
out of my head I sang
. . .

Walking After You
Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
. . .

have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long so long
I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
head down
always moving on and on and on
I never heard this warning
another early morning
takes me
wakes me into
if you could manage me
I'll try to manage you
but lately it's all I ever do
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats in the kingdome
I'm not scared
I'll never tell you the secret I'm holding
I know these things must bore you
but I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me
when I try to run away
. . .
