Bring Your Coat

Find yourself in my basement

Find yourself in my head, again

Lose yourself on the pavement

Spill and pour, til there’s nothing left

 

(Chorus=Riff)

 

Hang your coat in the staircase

Hang your head on my shoulder, baby

Bring your coat, just in case

It gets cold, I’m already sweating

 

(Chorus=Riff)

 

Hide your scars in your long sleeves

Hide your shame in your made up face

Come on and tell me your secrets

Who' I’ll tell, you don’t know their names

You Go Back

You still can’t dance, to that same old song

Are your fingers still there, from touching the same fire?

Don’t you get tired,

You go back to what’s hurt you, so many times

Before.

 

Learn from mistakes,

It will help you survive,

Take notes on the way,

Forget the names you will try.

Learn from mistakes,

It may help you survive,

Live in the moment, yeah,

But don’t forget,

Don’t forget, yesterday

 

You still can’t sing, that same old tune

Once bitten, clearly never shy

Don’t you, don’t you get tired?

You go back to what’s hurt you, so many times.

 

Learn from mistakes,

It will help you survive,

Take notes on the way,

Forget the names you will try.

Learn from mistakes,

It may help you survive,

Live in the moment, yeah,

But don’t forget,

Don’t forget, yesterday

 

Change the locks,

Change the locks,

Burn down the house

That tears you down.

Change the locks,

Do the wrong thing once,

And never again.

 

Learn from mistakes,

It will help you survive,

Take notes on the way,

Forget the names you will try.

Learn from mistakes,

It may help you survive,

Live in the moment, yeah,

But don’t forget,

Don’t forget, yesterday

Unkind

I once walked to the moon

For a man with three eyes

Who said, I looked good in all of them

But I couldn’t walk back,

You see, I was too tired,

But he didn’t wanna wait any longer.

 

Would you think me unkind,

If I didn’t shake your hand,

Didn’t try to understand, your childhood,

Would you think me unkind

If I tried to save your time

If you look you can see I’m no good

But I don’t wanna be unkind.

 

I once stayed up all night,

Trying to reason with the darkness,

Force somebody else to see the light.

But even I can’t cure the blind,

Forgive me if I sleep through this,

You’d think I’d learn my lesson by this time.

 

Would you think me unkind,

If I didn’t shake your hand,

Didn’t try to understand, your childhood,

Would you think me unkind

If I tried to save your time

If you look you can see I’m no good

But I don’t wanna be unkind.

 

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

 

Would you think me unkind,

If I didn’t shake your hand,

Didn’t try to understand, your childhood,

Would you think me unkind

If I tried to save your time

If you look you can see I’m no good

But I don’t wanna be unkind.

Needle

Don’t she want you?

Won’t you, will you, crawl towards the door

Get used to this, old place its

Cold on the floor

 

She’s got you twisting like a needle

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She’d take a plane.

She’s got you twisting like a needle,

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She won’t ask your name.

 

Don’t she want you?

Won’t you, will you, smell the breath she breathes

Toxic, an overload, you’re set for days, yeah

 

She’s got you twisting like a needle

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She’d take a plane.

She’s got you twisting like a needle,

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She won’t ask your name.

 

Craving just one more bite,

You need a hit, a look tonight.

Send vibes to a higher place,

That you’re desperate to touch her face.

Craving just more bite,

She won’t ask,

She won’t ask.

 

She’s got you twisting like a needle

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She’d take a plane.

She’s got you twisting like a needle,

In your brain,

You’d walk the Earth for her,

She won’t ask your name.

When You Say Love

The stuff that were made of

In the holes of our souls

Is betraying and breakable

Not under control

And your cheap alcohol

Only makes your dreams

Less predictable

 

When you say love

And I wonder if you’ll forget in the morning

When you say love

Are we characters in your head, a beautiful story

The moment you wake up you’ll find

When you say love, it’s a lie

 

We’re creatures of habit

Just chasing our demons

Until we collapse in eachother’s arms

Your pillows don’t comfort

So you go to the pills,

You run to the hills cause you’ll never find home

 

When you say love

And I wonder if you’ll forget in the morning

When you say love

Are we characters in your head, a beautiful story

The moment you wake up you’ll find

When you say love, it’s a lie

 

The stuff that were made of

In the holes of our souls

Is betraying and breakable

Not under control

And your cheap alcohol

Only makes your dreams

Less predictable

When you say love, it’s a lie

When you say love, it’s a lie

 

When you say love

And I know that it’s just another word you won’t remember you said

When you say love

I’ll never be the character you’ve pinned down in your head

I’m not gonna wait for you to wake up anymore

Cause I’m just not living this dream anymore

 

When you say love it’s a lie

When you say love, it’s a lie

Some bridge for some song that I haven’t written yet

There’s nothing wrong with faith in yourself

And those around you, that you see your face in,

I believe what I want in myself,

And believe me when I say, I’m not trying to be nobody else.

Never mind that I try to be nice,

Rather than start a fight, cause sometimes there’s just no stopping me.

I’m sure, deep down I’m a sweetheart,

Never mind that I’d rather talk to my car

Than most people my age.

Edge of a Puzzle

Ooh, if you’re a tiger,

In a tiny cage, do I gotcha by your little toe?

Ooh, if you’re a sunrise,

Shining on my sleepy face, do you like the way that I wake up?

 

Aren’t there features of you that like

Features of me

Like the edge of a puzzle you’re my

Missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

You’re my missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

 

Reach in, put your hand in my pocket,

Leave your heart behind by accident.

Sleep in, buried in the blanket,

Cause last night, i didn’t let you get your rest.

 

Aren’t there features of you that like

Features of me

Like the edge of a puzzle you’re my

Missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

You’re my missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

 

Ooh, breathing heavy cause you’re finally whole,

Ooh, breathing heavy cause you’re finally whole,

Ooh, breathing heavy cause you’re finally whole.

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

 

Aren’t there features of you that like

Features of me

Like the edge of a puzzle you’re my

Missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

You’re my missing piece.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Accidents Happen

You say you’re born in storm,

But I watch you wait it out.

Not to question your intentions,

But I think I’ve figured you out.

And all this time I’ve spent with you

And all this time I’ve felt alive

In all this time I’ve got to know

Who we are can be a lie

 

You say what you have to to get me stay

Accidents happen, when living this way,

You change yourself in an effort to please

But what you are, you will never be.

This time there’s no settling.

 

You’ve cut that blue ribbon

But I’ve watched with empty eyes

Cause you know it’s not yours to claim,

You know you can’t take that prize,

And all this time I’ve spent with you

And all this time I’ve felt alive

In all this time I’ve got to know

Who we are can be a lie

 

You say what you have to to get me stay

Accidents happen, when living this way,

You change yourself in an effort to please

But what you are, you will never be.

This time there’s no settling.

 

All this life, is is making decisions

If what we want is good enough to want it

(To want it)

I want to feel like, nobody’s watching what I do,

You don’t want me for what I’m not,

And everything that ever was between us,

We realize is gone.

 

In all this time I’ve got to know

Who we are can be a lie

 

You say what you have to to get me stay

Accidents happen, when living this way,

You change yourself in an effort to please

But what you are, you will never be.

This time there’s no settling.

 

Not to question your intentions,

But I think I’ve figured them out…

End of Me (With KG)

Right before the dawn starts fading, see you in the darkest hour of dreams
A spirit of my own reflection; maybe what I want to be
Strangled by a constant need, to feel myself be broken
Wishing on the stars I see, with my eyes unopened

For who do I start anew?
For who, I can’t undo

Waiting on what I've created, laying in the outcome
Desires made myself serrated; now she can't be touched again
For who, do I start anew
For who, it’s done, I can’t undo

Now I lay myself to sleep
I swear I'll be what's there to see
Even if it's the end of me
The price it's worth, death for a dream

Circled by a brand new mirror, set myself in a pose unlearned
Practice til your eyes are bleeding, pretty dies, oh pretty burns
Guided by an empty whim, praised by those still in my head
Here I know I am forsaken, by myself, begin again?

For who, oh now I start anew
For who, it's done, I can't--

Now I lay myself to sleep
I swear I'll be what's there to see
Even if it's the end of me
The price it's worth, death for a dream
Hold your head up high
Perfection's worth your life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Hold your head up high

Now I lay myself to sleep
I swear I'll be what's there to see
Even if it's the end of me
The price it's worth, death for a dream
Hold your head up high…
For my dreams, I’ll die
It will be
The end of
Me...

When You Knew Nothing

You’re gonna cry,

Yourself to sleep,

You’re gonna have a new dream,

And wake up and realize what it means.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

He held your hand,

He walked you home,

He smiled and winked and

Made you feel whole.

But when, he’s gone

And you hold your own hand,

You’re gonna realize,

You’re gonna understand.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

And once you know it all,

That’s when you want to know nothing.

You wish you didn’t know now,

What you didn’t know then,

But you can never go back there again.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

A Girl Like Me

I said come in from the rain

I said he could stay

The night was so cold,

I had to tell him to go

 

I said come on upstairs

He said don’t mind if I do,

He wrung himself out,

And then I hung him up blue

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

I stared for awhile,

Until he fell asleep,

I woke him up to tell him

Go back to his dreams.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

And then, when he says goodbye,

He sees me wave hello,

And as he’s walking away,

I’m ready to go.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

Am I Your Poison?

When you talk, it’s right in my ear

What you say, I won’t repeat

I think you’ve got, the right idea

About me.

 

You’ve got the nerve, to keep me nervous,

When you sleep, I stay awake,

I think you’ve got, the right ideas,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

 

When we touch, it’s something unreal,

Where you see, nobody’s seen.

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About me.

 

I hear your heartbeat, I feel you shaking,

I count the stutters in your speech,

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

Am I? Am I? Am I?

Am I your poison, baby?
