DOLL

you know in all the times 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
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, 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, 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
Ecerything fades in time, it's true.
Wish that I had another stab 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
Your 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
Your 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
Your 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 choice 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 animalI'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


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

hanging on
here until im 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 im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on
hanging on
here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on
even thoughpassed 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
FEBRUARY STARS!
FLOATING IN THE DARK!
TEMPORARY STARS!
FEBRUARY STARS!(x4)


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