Villain

I'm so cold and far away from home
Your so tired and so damn alone
It's darker and much harder to be me
So far away from my reality

I hate the way you look, I'm looking back
I hate the way I look, you're looking too
I think maybe I'm just falling, fallin', fallin'

And you kiss me like you know inside of me
(let me lead you let me follow)
And you watch me fight my own insanity
(let me lead you let me follow)
And I feel like I'm a villain Jesus,
Said would never ever leave us
And I'm stronger now than I ever was before

You think I never could have seen it all
It seems you want me just to watch me fall
Your fingers and your lips are beautiful
Your fingers and your lips are killing me
I hate the way you look, I'm looking back
I hate the way I look, you're looking too
I think maybe I'm just falling, fallin', fallin'

And you kiss me like you know inside of me
(let me lead you let me follow)
And you watch me fight my own insanity
(let me lead you let me follow)
And I feel like I’m a villain Jesus,
Said would never ever leave us
And i'm stronger now than I ever was before
Than I was before

I'm stronger then I’ve ever been
Im stronger then before
But you kiss me like you know it all,
You know it all, you know it all...

And you kiss me like you know inside of me
And you watch me fight my own insanity
And I feel like I'm a villain Jesus
Said would never ever leave us
And I feel like I'm a villain Jesus
Said would never ever leave us
And I'm stronger now than I ever was before
And I'm stronger now than I ever was before
And I'm stronger now than I ever was before
Was before
Was before

On my own

Stayed awake all night tossin', turnin’
Now my blood shot eyes are burnin'
Working out why this ain’t workin'
Fight after Fight after Fight
And now it’s killin' me

You were too busy to believe in
All the run away dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go I’m leavin'
Fight after Fight after Fight
And now I gotta be

On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say I’m sorry I’m coming home
I’m gonna make it on my own
I’ll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say
I’m sorry I’m coming home

How’d you end up oh so jaded
Cynical and so sedated
Can’t live in this world you created
Day after Day after Day
And now I gotta be

On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say I’m sorry I’m coming home
I’m gonna make it on my own
I’ll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say I’m sorry I’m coming home

You will always be the lonely one
You will always try to swallow the sun
Just remember you could never make it rain on everyone

On my own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
Cause I don’t have to say
And now your killin' me

On My Own
And living in a world alone
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say I’m sorry I’m coming home
I’m gonna make it on my own
I’ll always take the harder road
Gets better every day
That I don’t have to say I’m sorry I’m coming home

I’ll make it on my own
(I’m sorry I won’t be coming home )
I’ll make it on my own
(I’m sorry I won’t be coming home)
I’ll make it on my own
(I’m sorry I won’t be coming home)
I’ll make it on my own
(I’m sorry I won’t be coming home)

Trip

Some say love is not for sinners
I believe that isn't true
Cause when I was really sinning
Love came down and showed me you
And you told me how to get there
So I tried to find a way
Then I ran into your garden
But I tripped on the gate
I tripped on the gate

What are you doing to me?
I'm so into you
And the hardest part is knowing that I'll never follow through
You're slowly killing me
And I wish it wasn't true
Cuz I'm so into you
Cuz I'm so into you

Like a ton of bricks it hit me
And woke me from this dream
No matter how hard I tried to wash my hands
I could never get'em clean
I could never get'em clean

What are you doing to me?
I'm so into you
And the hardest part is knowing that I'll never follow through
You're slowly killing me
And I wish it wasn't true
Cuz I'm so into you

Can you hear me?
Cuz I can't change what I'll always be, yeah.

What are you doing to me?
I'm so into you
And the hardest part is knowing that I'll never follow through
You're slowly killing me
And I wish it wasn't true
Cuz I'm so into you
I'm so into you
Cuz I'm so into you
I'm so into you.

Street Fight

Got in a streetfight
With the I.R.S and I'm alright,
Took one to the chest but I'm fine
It's all coming up roses
Call me the white guy
With a real bad case of that pink eye
But it's just a reflection of roses
It's all coming up roses

And god damnit if it all works out
And forbid that it it should all work out, out,out, out

I'm tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
Take me anywhere but here

My fifteen minutes of fame are done
And I don't care
I was just having more fun than you
And I didn't ask for it anyways
Now I'm on T.V, guess that's not cool
Now I'm a sellout
But I'm not the only one with name brand shoes on
You fxxxing moron.

And god damnit if it all works out
And forbid that it it should all work out, out, out, out

I'm tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
It's all coming up roses
Gimme all you got
Just take your shot
You come off swinging like a girl

Buy me an ocean
To take me anywhere but here
Take me anywhere but here
I will not go back

So buy me the ocean
And paint it with pretty stars
And sell me to something
Take me anywhere but here(x5)

I'm tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
It's all coming up roses
Gimme all you got
Just take your shot
You come off swinging like a girl

Buy me an ocean
To take me anywhere but here
Take me anywhere but here
Now take me anywhere but here
Now take me anywhere but here
Now take me anywhere but here
I will not go back.

321

I heard a distant early warning
But I chose to ignore it
It came back and bit me
Seems like we're victims of bad timing
Cuz you wanted more than I did
I can't give you what you need

She said "hold me, hold me, closely, closely"
That's when I should have ran

3.2.1., it's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've known to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you
3.2.1., it's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

I got so caught up in the moment
That I forgot what it all meant
But still I'd do it all again
You said "no strings attached, I'm wild"
I didn't know you're in denail
And you became my ball and chain

She said "hold me, hold me, closely, closely"
That's when I should have ran

3.2.1., it's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've known to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you
3.2.1., it's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She said "hold me, hold me, closely, closely"
She said "hold me, hold me, closely, closely"
That's when I should have ran
Run, run, run

3.2.1., it's the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would've known to doubt you
I'm better off alone without you
3.2.1., it's the same old story, love gets gory
Why'd we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She's holding on while she can
Why'd we have to go and change things?
She's holding on while she can
Now touching you is such a strange thing
She's so out of hand
I'm dreading all the baggage and what it brings
She's so out of hand
But still I'd do it all again.

Gunnin'

Tell me what I'll never be
Make me feel broken
Tell me what I should believe
I didn't know it was broken

And im gunnin' for you
Im gunnin for you
And I will wait, I'll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

I hate the way you look at me
As if I was broken
And the perfection of my frailty
Has been questioned and broken

And im gunnin' for you
Im gunnin for you
And I will wait, I'll write another letter to myself,
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

And I feel like I'm fine today
I feel like I'm ready to take this on
And I'll fight you to the grave for it
I'll never let you take a part of me with you

And I will wait, I'll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone
And I will wait, I'll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

The perfection of my frailty
Has been questioned and broken.

Sink or Swim

I've heard this all before
Don't waste my time, don't break my balls, get out my door
You won't see me caving in
It's time I stand and show you what's making me spin

So if you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
Sink or swim..

Don't spell this out in tears
Don't play those games or say these names and live your fears
I told you no means no
You had your chance, you broke my heart, it's time to go

So if you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim

So if you peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim

Our love comes to a bitter end
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
Sink or swim
You sink or swim.

Johnny Falls

Johnny Falls
He throws his hands
Into the air, into these walls
He's freakin out
He's got a gun
He'll get his way
He'll have his fun
You make a mess
You bruise my name
Try to cut me down with every word you say
If you wreck my day
If you wreck my day
You son of a bitch you're gonna get some

And I'm tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don't blame me
For what I gotta do
I won't hate myself to be loved by you

Johnny runs
He shuts his eyes
He only sees
From nine to five
Don't let him down
He's got a gun
He'll get his way
He'll have his fun
All you wannabes
Don't have what it takes
To take a shot at me
To put me in my place
If you wreck my day
If you wreck my day
You son of a bitch you're gonna get some

And I'm tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don't blame me
For what I gotta do
I won't hate myself to be loved by you

Don't push me
Don't blame me
Or you'll be sorry
Am I getting through?
I won't back down
As of right now
I won't hate myself to be loved by you

Wo--ah, wo--ah, wo--ah

See me cry
See me smile
See me fall
See me flyin'

And I'm tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don't blame me
For what I gotta do
I won't hate myself to be loved by you

Don't push me
Don't blame me
Or you'll be sorry
Am I getting through?
I won't back down
As of right now
I won't hate myself to be loved by you

Wo--ah, wo--ah, wo--ah
I won't hate myself to be loved by you
Wo--ah, wo--ah, wo--ah
I won't hate myself to be loved by you
Wo--ah, wo--ah, wo--ah
I won't hate myself to be loved by you
Wo--ah, wo--ah, wo--ah
I won't hate myself to be loved by you
Woa------h.

Saturday

Believe me
It's easy
To scream when
You're dreaming
And wonder
What's under
You're bed when
You're sleeping?
They beat you
And blame you
For all that you went through
But hey, it's just another Saturday
It's only just another Saturday

I love you, I need you
Like a thousand times before
Wonder why I hate you?
But I'll scream and ask for more
I only wanted you attention
At least the hate is some connection
But hey, it's just another Saturday

Believe me
It's easy
To live between the lines
When mommy
Says "sorry"
Over a thousand times
You're tied up,
You're cried out
You gotta get out of here
But hey it's just another Saturday
It's only just another Saturday

I love you, I need you
Like a thousand times before
Wonder why I hate you?
But I'll scream and ask for more
I only wanted you attention
At least the hate is some connection
If I feel, then I need
If I love, then I'm free
Then I'm free
Yeah, yeah

You make a mess of me
You make a mess of me
Yeah, yeah

I love you, I need you
Like a thousand times before
Wonder why I hate you?
But I'll scream and ask for more
I only wanted you attention
At least the hate is some connection
But hey, it's just another Saturday

Another Saturday
It's only just another Saturday
Another Saturday
I'm free
And I'm free, yeah
And I'm free, yeah
And I'm free, yeah, yeah.

Sugar Free

Tight-rope walking ain't that hard
After slamming back a few
You're laughing now but it ain't that funny
When we get through with you
Tell me we're all about failing and being wrong
Tell me I'll never let go of you,
I will never give or take you for a ride

And I can't hear myself scream
(If I never loved you I wouldn't cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
(If loving meant living then I wouldn't die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

Standing closer ain't that bad
With your hands upon your face
Look too far I looked much harder
And they lost all sense of trace
Me and draw up color lost and found
Tear me downlift me up
You make me feel so god damn colder than your bleeding eyes

And I can't hear myself scream
(If I never loved you I wouldn't cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
(If loving meant living then I wouldn't die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

If I never knew you,
I'd never love you,
If I never loved you,
Then I wouldn't cry,
If I never hold you,
Then I'll never know you,
If loving meant living,
Then I wouldn't die,

And I can't hear myself scream
(If I never loved you I wouldn't cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
(If loving meant living then I wouldn't die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

And I can't hear myself scream
I(f I never loved you I wouldn't cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
(If loving meant living then I wouldn't die)
And I can't hear myself scream
(If I never loved you I wouldn't cry)
And I can't hear my self dream
(If loving meant living, then I wouldn't die).

I don't believe it

Just give me one good reason
Just one to stop me leaving
'Cause I can't think of anything at all
The shock is wearing off and
We'll both be better off when
I pick myself up and drop you on the floor

Maybe I'm better off this way
With one less hole inside my brain
You'll never get the best of me
Never again

'Cause I'm not gonna be your whipping boy
You're not gonna run around on me
And I don't believe this is happening
To me this way
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh

I know you knew my brother
And now you know all my friends
I didn't know that you knew them all that well
You got me looking stupid
So this is where it all ends
You pushed me too far one too many times

Maybe I'm better off this way
With one less hole inside my brain
You'll never get the best of me
Never again

'Cause I'm not gonna be your whipping boy
You're not gonna run around on me
And I don't believe this is happening
To me this way
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh

There was a time I'd give up anything to hold you hand, but I'm
Wide-awake you're a big mistake I'll never make again

'Cause I'm not gonna be your whipping boy
You're not gonna run around on me
I get off work an hour early
To wait up for you until 3

And I don't believe this is happening
I can't believe this is happening
I don't believe this is happening
To me this way

I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it
Whaoh Whaoh
I don't believe it.
