Anything Less

I know I’ve got to try if I ever want to make it

But this mess that we’re dragging out, isn’t hard to fake it

I’ll stay up in corner til a quarter to three,

Cause anything less than that, just wouldn’t be me.

 

Anything less than dying is living

Anything less than taking is giving,

But more than you need, you won’t ever know.

Cause anything less just wouldn’t be enough.

 

Give the sign you’re okay but your heart’s not in it

Wake up in the morning find your spirit where you hid it

Ain’t it such a shame when your mirror don’t know your face,

Anything less would be anything less than disgrace.

 

Anything less than dying is living

Anything less than taking is giving,

But more than you need, you won’t ever know.

Cause anything less just wouldn’t be enough.

 

Only take what your hands can hold

No ones gonna help you carry what you stole

Lit yourself on fire with nothing else to burn

But anything less from you would be a cause of concern

 

Anything less than dying is living

Anything less than taking is giving,

But more than you need, you won’t ever know.

Cause anything less just wouldn’t be enough.

Porcelain Doll

I’m not fragile

But I’m still breakable

A lot like you

In that way.

And it’s hurtful

To feel like

Everyone’s dancing but you

Even on your birthday.

 

I’ll be your porcelain doll

A dress on the shelf

And I’ll watch you cry

Til you don’t know yourself

And when you hold me

I’ll still feel so cold

I’ll be your porcelain doll

Don’t Waste My Time (I’ve Got Nothing To Do)

Right now is the start of the rest of our lives

We’ll make it, or we’ll fake it

Tied up behind my back

I’m useless, but I’m trying

 

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

Beat it out, bleed it out

Find what you need to say

And say it fast

Beat it out, bleed it out

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

And say it fast

 

Right now is the oldest you’ve ever been

It’s the youngest, you’ll ever be again

Don’t waste my time, I’ve got nothing to do

But I know it’s not you, this choice I have

 

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

Beat it out, bleed it out

Find what you need to say

And say it fast

Beat it out, bleed it out

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

And say it fast

 

World’s fastest tongue, but you got no heart

You make it up in time, to play the part

It’s psychotic, the amount of masks you wear

But it’s important that you try not to care

 

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

Beat it out, bleed it out

Find what you need to say

And say it fast

Beat it out, bleed it out

Use the muscle

Use the muscle

And say it fast

Sold

Virtues untold

I’m getting old

I don’t know what I’m for

But I find myself sold

Saving myself

Cause nobody else

Knows your brand of hell

But I find myself sold

I’m Alive, But I’m Alone

Was I so hard to understand

Was I so hard to be a friend to

Maybe I just hate you cause you never came after me

You never came after me

 

I still want you every night

Your smile’s still so bright

But now even you can’t make it right

I’m alive, but I’m alone,

What kind of life is that, after all

 

Was I so easy to make a mess of

Was I so easy to replace

Maybe I just hate you cause never chased me back

You never chased me back

 

I still want you every night

Your smile’s still so bright

But now even you can’t make it right,

I’m alive, but I’m alone

What kind of life is that, after all

 

You told me once, this was permanent

I should’ve known than to believe in it

Cause nothing ever lasts

Cause nothing ever lasts

 

I still want you every night

Your smile’s still so bright

But now even you can’t make it right,

I’m alive, but I’m alone

What kind of life is that, after all

What kind of life, what kind of life,

After all, after all, after everything

I’m alive, but I’m alone

What kind of life is that, after all

Nothing

I’ve been laying in the arms of a man

Who just can’t stand me

And I can’t blame him

Cause I just don’t like myself

But hold me, just a little bit closer now

 

Drown out the sounds, the voices in my head

Scream louder at me than they can

Kiss me, til I don’t know my name

I don’t hate everything cause I feel absolutely nothing for you

 

I’ve been sleeping in the bed of a man

With no head to understand me

And I can’t blame him

Cause I can’t find all the pieces

But hold me, just a little bit closer now

 

Drown out the sounds, the voices in my head

Scream louder at me than they can

Kiss me, til I don’t know my name

I don’t hate everything cause I feel absolutely nothing for you

 

I’ve got absolutely nothing for you

But I don’t hate everything if I feel absolutely nothing for you

I’ve been laying in the arms of a man

Who just can’t stand me

But I can’t blame him

I don’t blame you

 

Drown out the sounds, the voices in my head

Scream louder at me than they can

Kiss me, til I don’t know my name

I don’t hate everything cause I feel absolutely nothing for you

Here

When I saw myself in ten years

I was far away from here

With a different face

Is a different life

With you still with me

By my side

 

But now is here

Now is here

Now is here

But you are not

 

When I see myself in five years

I am far away from here

This dark place,

Has a different light

Much darker, without you still by my side

 

But now is here

Now is here

Now is here

But you are not

 

But you are not

You are not

I’m still here, I’m still here

But you are not

 

When I saw myself in ten years

I was far away from here

With you still with me

But you’re not with me

 

Now is here

Now is here

Now is here

Now is here

Now is here

But you are not

Canary

It’s a rock and a place

Of hating your company or being alone

But that tiny cage you’re sitting in all day

Is killing you faster than you’d die on your own

 

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fly

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fight

Sing, sing til the moon is high

Sing, sing til you don’t remember why

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fly

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fight

 

Clipped your wings, now you can’t get away

But use your teeth, you should still have

Don’t let anyone tell you where your ceiling starts

You’ve been believing every word they said

 

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fly

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fight

Sing, sing til the moon is high

Sing, sing til you don’t remember why

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fly

Oh, canary

You’ve forgotten how to fight

Stop

I’m ready and I’m able

To force myself under your table

I’ll pretend I never knew you

If it would make you feel like I never tried to improve you

 

You tell me just forget it

But I won’t soon leave it at that

 

I only tied you up so you’d stop moving

I only tied you down so you’d stop squirming

I never thought you should be left

To make this on your own, this mess,

I just wanted to show you how beautiful

Life could be, when you stop dreaming

 

I’m willing to just walk by

Even when I want to stop and say hi

Ask you how you are right then

I wonder if you’d lie

 

You tell me just forget it

But I won’t leave it to chance

 

I only tied you up so you’d stop moving

I only tied you down so you’d stop squirming

I never thought you should be left

To make this on your own, this mess,

I just wanted to show you how beautiful

Life could be, when you stop dreaming

 

Would it make you feel better

To know that I’d stop breathing

Just to make you feel better,

Just to make you stop dreaming

Dear Past Lover

Dear past lover

Dear past friend

I know it’s too late,

To begin again

I’m sorry I

Am letting go

But you have to know

You never knew me right

 

We all make mistakes

We all fall down

I never was

Quite right with you around

And it’s okay

It’s alright

You never told me goodbye

You never told me why

I lost all that sleep

And I still don’t know

 

Dear past lover

Dear past friend

I know it’s too late

To begin again

But if you wanted

I’d make a new end

 

It’s early morning

The sun is high

I’m not thinking of you

Just yet, but I’m counting the minutes left, I

Dreamt of you last night,

But you turned away there, too

I guess it’s my own damn fault

For not seeing what I had when I had you

 

Dear past lover,

Dear past friend

I know it’s too late

To begin again

But if you hold me,

Just let me pretend

That you wrote me letters

That you never sent

 

Dear past lover,

Dear past friend

I know it’s too late,

To begin again

I’m sorry I

Am letting go

But you had to know

I never did you right, goodnight

Something I Never Had

You want it

You got it

It’s dry and forgotten

It’s androgyny

In it’s sickest forms

It’s you

 

You need it

You crave it

In your boney fingers

It’s androgyny

In it’s sickest forms

It’s you

 

Your sunrise, burns my eyes

You’re too awake to say goodnight,

I’ll stay up all night, and be with you

 

In between, the good and bad

You’re everything I never had

In between, the blue and red

The black and white,

Live and dead,

I found something I never had,

I never had a choice.

 

You saw it

You felt it

Pierce the surface

It’s androgyny

In it’s purest forms

It’s you

 

Your sunrise, burns my eyes

You’re too awake to say goodnight,

I’ll stay up all night, and be with you

 

In between, the good and bad

You’re everything I never had

In between, the blue and red

The black and white,

Live and dead,

I found something I never had,

I never had a choice.

 

The twilight comes

I’m dreaming of

You in all your states

Gas or liquid

Solid, touching'

What would be my face

 

Your sunrise, burns my eyes

You’re too awake to say goodnight,

I’ll stay up all night, and be with you

 

In between, the good and bad

You’re everything I never had

In between, the blue and red

The black and white,

Live and dead,

I found something I never had,

I never had a choice.
