Well Conditioned

You gave me secrets I couldn’t hold

Too heavy on my shoulders, you

Never cared the weight you threw, and

You even laughed when I fall off balance, I

Never noticed how you do, and why

Did I think you were on my side, oh

 

I don’t want you

I don’t need you

Not when you come with the conditions you do

 

You bent and you broke me, you wore me out

And after, you left me to figure it out

Oh, I’ve been figuring too,

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

 

You twisted me vision to keep you in view,

I though I liked what I’d been seeing, I

Wasn’t seeing everything, though,

Not straight, your smattered truth

 

I don’t want you

I don’t need you

Not when you come with the conditions you do

 

You bent and you broke me, you wore me out

And after, you left me to figure it out

Oh, I’ve been figuring too,

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

 

I should’ve known about boys like you

I should’ve known about boys like you

Watch me take the headaches you gave me

And turn them into more rhymes to save me

 

I don’t want you

I don’t need you

Not when you come with the conditions you do

 

You bent and you broke me, you wore me out

And after, you left me to figure it out

Oh, I’ve been figuring too,

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

I see the worst parts of me

Were always inspired by you

Swell

My pride hangs in a locket

Its chain around my neck

But lately its been swelling

Out of the cracks and the keyhole

Please, get it back at bay

I’ll try to swallow it whole

 

I feel your stares more than ever

And I pray that you go blind

Put that in your morning coffee cup,

Add sugar as see you fit,

Try and keep my tongue,

Keep it bit,

Next time.

 

My sense has loud opinions.

Usually I’m a lot more nice.

But lately around you it’s been quiet.

I write in ink with my words like knives.

Carving up what you just layed out

I don’t care what I let lie

 

I feel your stares more than ever

And I pray that you go blind

Put that in your morning coffee cup,

Add sugar as see you fit,

Try and keep my tongue,

Keep it bit,

Next time.

 

You see, I’ve been eating matches

That’s why, I keep choking,

On the smoke in here,

Eyes teared up,

And I feel bigger than normal,

Everyone looks small from up here.

 

I feel your stares more than ever

And I pray that you go blind

Put that in your morning coffee cup,

Add sugar as see you fit,

Try and keep my tongue,

Keep it bit,

Next time.

To Be With You

If this is yours I want a part

You keep the ending, I want back the start

Cause everything got so confused

Blurry lines from me to you

And now

I don’t know it is I should go, so

 

If you go, I will follow

I promise, I’ll be there, right in tow

I’ll crawl behind you,

Fit in spaces that you aren’t,

But if you stay, I’m staying too,

Cause all I want’s to be with you

 

Your face in dark, so hard to see

But in the light, it’s all I need

Cause everything got so confused

We threw words, like bullets used

And now,

I don’t know how I should go to fix it

 

If you go, I will follow

I promise, I’ll be there, right in tow

I’ll crawl behind you,

Fit in spaces that you aren’t,

But if you stay, I’m staying too,

Cause all I want’s to be with you

 

I’m more aware, of everything

Because you’re there

I’m more aware, of everything

Because you’re there

Because you’re there

If this is yours, I want a part

I want a part, want to be a part

 

If you go, I will follow

I promise, I’ll be there, right in tow

I’ll crawl behind you,

Fit in spaces that you aren’t,

But if you stay, I’m staying too,

Cause all I want’s to be with you

I’ve Been Thinking

I lay down in the quiet corner

I listened to breath against the music in my head

And everything you ever thought of

Everything you ever said, came pouring in my ears

Through out the silence, I could hear,

 

That I’ve been thinking I’m alone,

But I’ve been mistaken.

I’ve been thinking I’m alone,

That I’m the only one,

Who feels hurt, Who feels wronged,

You’ve been singing the same song,

All alone.

Through out the silence, I could hear

That I’ve been thinking I’m alone,

But I’ve been wrong.

Wrote this in the shower. Pissed. Can’t remember the real words but I’ma try and get it back. :D

You say you need some new shoes

The same old soles ain’t doing it for you

Where’ve you been running around, then?

Do you ever think about slowing down,

Trying something new.

 

I’m blown away,

I’m set free,

For every today,

Tomorrow will be.

I’m blown away,

I’m getting free,

With the possibility,

I’m blown away.

Noisey

You’re a little noisey for my, taste

I’m a little sour for yours,

But maybe we could get used to, it

If you got a room and couple hours

 

Shock me, shock me

Try and break me,

Believe you beat them to it, baby

 

You think I’m refined, do you?

Then let me out the cage,

You tongue it just fine, now?

Run it by me again, please.

 

Shock me, shock me

Try and break me,

Believe you beat them to it, babe

 

There is no, speed limit

I run all the red lights.

You wanted a war,

Well you got me instead,

I’ll sit here and watch you try and put up a fight.

You’re a little noisey for my, taste

You’re a little noisey for my, taste

Believe me, you didn’t beat them

To breaking me

 

Shock me, shock me

Try and break me,

Believe you beat them to it, baby

Shock me, shock me

Try and break me,

Believe you beat them to it, baby

Mane of Gold

Bite out the words

Draw in your breath

Back straighter than arrows

Piercing your head

 

You act in fear,

You act in rage,

You point your fingers,

And you, hide your face.

 

Coward, coward

Complete with mane of gold,

Coward, coward,

Your act is getting old.

 

Don’t you, don’t you

Know what you are,

When you cry yourself to sleep at night

Don’t you, don’t you

Know what you are,

Know what you are,

I know what you are.

 

You act in fear,

You act in rage,

You point your fingers,

And you, hide your face.

 

Coward, coward

Complete with mane of gold,

Coward, coward,

Your act is getting old.

 

I bite my tongue

Count to ten in my head

Your not worth me

Losing it

 

You act in fear,

You act in rage,

You point your fingers,

And you, hide your face.

 

Coward, coward

Complete with mane of gold,

Coward, coward,

Your act is getting old.

 

I know what you are

I know what you are

Complete with mane of gold

I know what you are

I know what you are

You do what your told

Your act is getting old

Coward, coward

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
