Doll

 
you know in all the time(s) that we 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
(8 or so second of dave humming or "oh" ing to the music)
doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
 
 

Monkey Wrench

 
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 want to 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

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

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 want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
 
 

Hello, Johnny Park!

 
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
 
 

My Poor Brain

 
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

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

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

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain

Brain
Brain
Brain
O.K.
 
 

Wind Up

 
I have a choise between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
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

I want a song that's indelible
Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania
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 all back anyway what was I supposed to say?

I want a song that's indelible
Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
 
 

Up In Arms

 
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 again
For you to mend

I was the one who left you
Always coming back I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again
 
 

My Hero

 
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

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
 
 

See You

 
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

see you.

These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm gettin further from myself
one thing is always true
how good it is to see you

see you.
 
 

Enough Space

 
I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lily
The best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be enough space
 
 

February Stars

 
intro/chorus

hanging on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on

even though
I watched you come and go
how was I to know
you'd still show

one day ill have enough to get more
ill wait to hear your final call
hanging on

hanging on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on

even though
passed the time alone
soon we're so unknown
it heals the soul

you'll ask if the walls are building higher
we'll light the shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too usefull
and I fall
outro
FEBRUARY STARS!
FLOATING IN THE DARK!
TEMPORARY STARS!
FEBRUARY STARS!
(repeat 4 times)
 
 

Everlong

 
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 when I say when she sang

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
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 when I say when she sang

And I wonder 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 when I say when
 
 

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
 
 

New Way Home

 
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 and the Kingdome, I'm not scared

I'll never tell you the secrets 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

I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared
