i don't want to be stuck
in this stasis anymore
with you you you
with you you you
every step i take
you leave me lying on the floor
oh what's new new new
what's new new new
i don't want to be lost
in this flood forever
we're through through through
we're through through through
i won't be a martyr
for your lack of self-control
try & see it from my point of view
view view views
i tried so hard
i tried so hard
but i couldn't renew you
i couldn't fix you
i tried so hard yeah
so goddamn hard but
i shoulda knew that
there's no saving you
unless you save yourself
place your hangups on the shelf
take off your shoes and socks
and shake out all the rocks if ya got em
and in another timeline you know
that everything is all fine
so why bother being sad when
there are imagined worlds to escape to
why hate yourself
why trust anybody else
why blame yourself
for all the things i knew knew knew
i don't want to be stuck
floating through the void only
with you you you
so i'm through through through

Fuck Off
01:37
|

|
two syllables
a whole new era
of confusion and frustration
so fuck off
i guess i will
and i'll take me with me
so sod off
if i do what i know is right
i'll be leaving you behind me
it's gone off
all bets are sinking
placed in alignment behind me
so fuck off
so sod off
i'm all off
all bets off
three faces
my heart beats fast
im a little nervous
a newer room
the walls peel off
and reveal there are no curtains
i feel off
if so many places
can build this resentment within me
so walk off
all these people are leaving
walking in sharp lines behind me
so fuck off
so sod off
i've gone off
all bets off
so fuck off
so sod off
i've gone off
all bets are off

i've waited too long to have you
hide in the back of me
i've cheated so long i wonder
how you keep track of me
you could never be strong
you could only be free
and i never asked for the truth
but you owe that to me
i've entered the game of pricks
with knives in the back of me
can't call you or on you no more
when they're attacking me
i'll climb up on the house
weep to water the trees
and when you come calling me down
i'll put on my disease
you can never be strong
you can only be free
and i never asked for the truth
but you owe that to me

(check!
check, 1, 2, check!
check! check, 1, 2, check!)
some girls boldly go
some wander by mistake
well some girls just don't know
the harm that hearts do make
some girls play with guns
and most of them can aim
well my girl shot me dead
so that's my claim to fame
and she cries all night
and wonders what went wrong
whilst they're reading her her rights
she's a member of this song
2, 1 2 3 4
some girls like to talk
and some girls don't
some girls prefer to walk
while other girls won't
and pretty girls on the bus
well they just look away
and some they have big busts
and some have double As
sing it!
girls
always on my mind
girls
of all kinds
girls
you're always on my mind
girls
all the time
all those girls
doo doo doo doo
and some girls have bad days
and some they have it worse
and some girls carry grudges
and some girls carry a purse
and some are valley girls
and some they play in smoke
well some girls choose to stay
and some girls choose to go
and some girls live in color
and some live in black and white
but of all the girls i've known
they all think they're right
sing it!
girls
always on my mind
girls
of all kinds
girls
you're always on my mind
girls
all the time
all those girls
doo doo doo doo
and some girls drink champagne
with their pinkie out
and some girls drink right out the bottle
and then they just pass out
and some girls do
what some girls won't
and some girls say they will
and then they don't
and some girls wear short skirts
with nothing underneath
and some girls simply love
the boys with the money
sing it!
girls
always on my mind
girls
of all kinds
girls
always on my mind
girls
all the time
it's all you girls
doo doo doo doo

Lost Cause (Beck cover)
03:29
|
|||
|
your sorry eyes
they cut to the bone
they make it so hard
to leave you alone
to leave you here
wearing your wounds
waving your guns at
somebody new
baby you're a lost
(baby you're lost)
baby you're a lost
baby you're a lost cause
there's too many people
you used to know
they see you come and
they see you go
they know your secrets
and you know theirs
this town is crazy
nobody cares
baby you're a lost
(baby you're a lost)
baby you're a lost
baby you're a lost cause
i'm tired of fighting
i'm tired of fighting
fighting for a lost cause
there's a place where you are going
you ain't never been before
no one left to watch your back now
no one standing at your door
ain't that what you thought love was for
baby you're a lost
(baby you're a lost)
baby you're a lost
baby you're a lost cause
i'm tired of fighting
i'm tired of fighting
fighting for a lost cause

Moments i&n Truth
04:21

i wanna live out
all the mundane moments
like quiet games
on a saturday night
i stare up and glance
send a spark to my eye
you're so damn beautiful
i was born
for the mundane moment
painting my walls
with a brand new coat
but you keep it steady
and i liked all greens
i love the way you look tonight
so don't hate yourself
i hate myself now
my brain turns to mush
and i feel the rush
the butterflies in my chest
spread to the brain
so i made out
with the mundane moments
the inner light
that fixates me on a saturday night
as if for the first time in my life
i got a ray of sunshine
getting close
with the intimate moment
just keep on going
at the speed of light
don't care where we're going
but i know i'll survive
if the candle burns out later that night
i only live now for the mundane moment
wake up at six and be in bed by ten
smoke on my breath and beers in my hand
i just hold you close and recount my sins
i just hold you close and count my sins
i just hold you close
and recount my sins
so give me a good god damn day
i just need one day alone with you
oh so give a good god damn
so give me a good, good god damn
and then we kiss
la da la da da da
and you tell me about your day
you tell me about your day
ain't it so relaxin'
to be so loved
even if i was never
the one you were dreaming of
a repeated rhyme
my schemes are failing
always something hanging
in your eyes when you're bailing
but i see some kind of spark
i guess my eagerness is telling
so i tell you to run from the surface
and i never stop wailin'

everybody makes mistakes
but i feel alright when i come undone
you are not making me wait
but it seems alright as long as something's happening
i try to make you late
but you fight me off like a fire does
you try making me wait
but it feels alright as long as something's happening
woah
get your payments from the nation
woah oh oh
for your trials and tribulations
you try to make me wait
you come around when it's come undone
everybody makes you late
it's never you 'cause you're always thinking
i try to make you wait
you give me some like you give it good
everybody makes mistakes
but it seems it's always mine
that always keep on stinging
woah
get your payments from the nation
woah oh oh
for your trials and tribulations
you try making me wait
but you come undone when you come undone
everybody makes mistakes
but it's always mine that seem to keep on sticking
oh woah
get your payments from the nation
woah oh oh
for your trials and tribulations

(you make me feel like ???

so no more kiss but we can touch

you make me wish
i had something to hide
your eyes try to dig up dirt
but they find nothing inside me
when push comes to shove
[unintelligible]
i guess it's just another night
of the same old shit
you ask me for cigs
even though you just quit
reinforcing bad habits
as a way of coping
you're going to fall in love with me
that's what i'm hoping

November Snow
02:13
|

|
she was incapable of loving me
now i find myself in the snow
cursing at the wind
considering self-destruction
no love and nowhere to go
and i'm yearning for warmth
from this cold fuckin snow
and i'm just so fuckin sick
of this cold fuckin snow
i guess i'll have to forget about you
guess i'll have to forget about you
i guess i'll have to let you go
and in the middle of the night
you startle me with your tap
and i see your flashlight beam so bright
waking me from my nap
when i look out the window
desolation sets in
your car headlights zoom out of sight
our love was naught but my creation
|

into the fade we go
there's nothing for us here
so we stay inside
(check! check!)
give me the need to seek them out
helpful solution searching beyond this
i am but a bitter cold
i am nothing but my own
i hear them coming
i hear them jumping
they're calling my name
as if there ain't no meaning
so i feel defeated
but they say it'll be good for me
if i do what i don't want
and discard my love
oh
one more drawn out, slow, crusty radiator
is no more excuse for all my hurtful behaviors
i really hurt you and i'm sorry
i really hurt you and i should go
one more drawn out, slow, crusty radiator
is no more excuse for all my hurtful behaviors
i really hurt you and i'm sorry
i really hurt you and i should go
