Thanks for coming everyone
What’s holding you back?
You saw the tables turned, you were so afraid of that
And now, as I was begging for a second chance
Kiss my cheek never to speak again
What’s up with those eyes?
Looking left and right you never learned to lie
And now, as I was bracing for the pain
Close our eyes and never to speak again

Here we go!
I say Hey! Hey oh Hey!
Here’s a pretty little gun and I’ll send it your way
I say Hey! Hey oh Hey!
Free minds are the enemy let’s put them to shame
I say Oh! Oh Oh!
Well fuck what they say we can do it our way!
And the books, we burned them all.
And the kids we drowned them all
In a pool of pills, creativity kills
And the books we burned them all, Hey!
Here we go!
I say Hey! Hey oh Hey!
Here’s a pretty little gun and I’ll send it your way
I say Hey! Hey oh Hey!
Free minds are the enemy let’s put them to shame
I say Oh! Oh Oh!
Well fuck what they say we can do it our way!
And the books, we burned them all.
And the kids we drowned them all
In a pool of pills, creativity kills
And the books we burned them all, Hey!
Here we go!
I say Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ooooooooh
Here we go!

Here’s a pretty little gun and I’ll send it your way
I say Hey! Hey oh Hey!
Free minds are the enemy let’s put them to shame
I say Oh! Oh Oh!
Well fuck what they say we can do it our way!
I say Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
And the books, we burned them all.
And the kids we drowned them all
In a pool of pills, creativity kills
And the books we burned them all
In a pool of pills, creativity kills
And the books we burned them all

Memories bring you down
Memories can’t see nothing laying on the ground
Surgery on my brain
Drain the memories out
Apples fall from trees
He’s not mine, he might look like me
Men, no one’s superman in the end
End, it was nothing in the end
I don’t fight, I don’t love, I don’t believe in guns or doves
I don’t drink, I don’t eat, it’s been 3, 7 days and there’s no coming back from the brink
I don’t talk, I don’t sing, the grass ain’t green, my phone don’t ring, my birds don’t chirp, I hurt no hurt
My night is day, my day is night, this happens all the time
This happens all the time
Come to you
Come to you
And it comes to you
Snowy white caps, on royalty trees
In the soil down under the worms feed
An apocalypse is coming so sit tight and listen
It’s not love but death they’ve been kissing
Vanilla castle’s all bathed in white
Where the poor ones talk of demons in the night
And the peasants scream out
Fallacy! Fallacy! For none come out alive
In the court of his majesty

Take them with you
Sad words said too soon
You always attach so fast
After all, we were in it for our souls, yeah
Break up, after bre-break up waking up next day only to make up
I be talking as if we was together past relationships make me second guess it
Love flows right in our river-head dams block the love and just felt the skin
Was that bad? Don’t wanna hurt again man I thought I loved you I’ll guess again damn!
Save the best for last
Oh go on, make it last
After all we couldn’t let go of the past, yeah
Time flies and we slowly die, if the love is true then it’s worth my time
But our grips be slipping love is fading this don’t feel right I can keep on faking
Leave me hanging when I ask you questions, I can’t take the way you keep the secrets
But when we kiss it’s so amazing damn this ain’t gonna be that easy
Can you draw me now?
Or look me in the eyes
I lied myself blind
After all we were in it for our souls, yeah
Your hips daze me your eyes amaze me you’re a pretty girl with a killer instinct
When I feel your soul it’s like a rose, so tough and sharp you’re so beautiful
So sweet and sour because my heart’s for cold, got so much love but the world said no
How could they do this to us? I don’t know how I’ll break it to you
It was you!
It was you!
I know you too, I know you too, I know you too, I know you too
I know you too, I know you too, I know you too, I know you too
Oh, Oh, Oh

Chord progression therapy
When the world’s too much to deal with
Status update sympathy when there’s just nobody there
The man has passed, he’s been pronounced, we were just too fucking late
His final words on a coffee cup, we were just too late
It was you
It was you
Oh it was you
Salvation at the dollar store
It’s a high for you and me
And I asked God to show his face, but he won’t look at me
And I would stoop so low, we only worshipped blow, and I just want you to know
It was you
It was you
Oh it was you
It was you
It was you
Oh it was you

Throwing Knives

On this day, the anesthesia puts us under
Your insides are ugly and pus covered
We’ll be on the table, looking us over
And terrorizing me
And it’s haunting me, yeah
I see them at my door
They’re coming dressed in black
And in my dreams, in blue
I hate to say it but its nine years since I’ve seen you
And this day that anesthesia puts us in a coma
They talked their shit and thought we couldn’t hear
They’ll be throwing daggers and stabbing knives
And terrorizing me
And it’s haunting me, yeah
I see them at my door
They’re coming dressed in black
And in my dreams, in blue
I hate to say it but its nine years since I’ve seen you
Yep it’s killing me, I’d hate to see what it’s doing to you
If it’s killing me, I’d hate to see what it’s doing to you
And it’s haunting me, yeah
I see them at my door
They’re coming dressed in black
And in my dreams, in blue
I hate to say it but its nine years since I’ve seen you
Oh, I said
It’s nine years since I’ve seen you

A lot of history with you and me
Is god involved? Are something’s really meant to be?
So I’ll put the guns down princess
After all, nothing’s pretty shot full of lead
I’ve been thinking about you sugar
Have you been thinking about me
And if God’s involved please just let things be
Because, I love she
So much dead skin on my feet from chasing after you
I’ll let it go, love always was my waterloo
So I’ll put the guns down princess
After all, nothing’s pretty shot full of lead
I’ve been thinking about you sugar
Have you been thinking about me
And if God’s involved please just let her love me because
I love she
We’ll be peter pan and Wendy we will never ever land
Well call me Comcast baby
You can have me on demand
I’ve been thinking about you sugar
Have you been thinking about me?
And if God’s involved please just let things be because
I love she

Vampires in silhouettes
They’re getting drunk before the sun does set
This throat doesn’t smell of blood
This coat is it red?
Take me for dead, we’ll lose our head
Ring around, ring around, ring around
Say la-la la-la la-la la-la
Ring around, ring around, ring around
Say la-la la-la la-la la
Is it him is it she can it be
We can lose our tongues
Burning mad, burning you, burning me
But it’s all of us
Washed away in the grave, burning skin
Mark me, mark me, mark me
Take me for dead
We’ll lose our heads
Ring around, ring around, ring around
Say la-la la-la la-la la-la
Ring around, ring around, ring around
Say la-la la-la la-la la-la
Ring around, ring around, ring around
Say la-la la-la la-la la

She
02:45

She is rough
She is life
She’s your knife at a gun fight
She is a plane, when you want to fly
And she is that feeling, when you feel alright
She is hip
She is new
She’s so old school man, she’s so cool
She’s got a way of walking
Puts pictures in your head
Man it’s so unfair
She’s got me hanging by a thread
Yeah! You see that beautiful lady across the room?
She’s mine, that means hands off!
She’s going to school and be getting them grades
The classiest bitch, a scholar with brains
She’s searching for love, instead found the pain
I’ll heal all the wounds if you just take my hand
Won’t say I love you, you’ll hurt again
Everything’s good let’s just be friends
Let’s live the moment, it’s soon to end
Damn we’re so young, we haven’t lived
Let’s search the world and talk again
Find ourselves and meet each other
If you’re worth it I’ll start over
Loving you while growing older
Open hearts and lighter shoulders
If he asks then you’re my lover
Without the stress girl we don’t need it
Easy loving and easy breathing
She’s got a way of walking
Puts pictures in your head
Man it’s so unfair
She’s got me hanging by a thread
She is rough, she is life
She’s your knife at a gun fight
She is hip, she is new
She’s so old school man she’s cool
She is a plane when you want to fly
She is that feeling, when you feel alright

I was dreaming, I was dreaming
I saw everything that I need to know
I saw my friends, I saw my friends
And everyone that I’ve ever known
And then I saw you, and when I saw you
We did everything that we wanted to
We said goodbye, we said goodbye
And we left everyone all behind
And we breathe, and we breathe
When we did, well we just couldn’t stop
I saw hope, I saw hope
It was big, kinda bright, and just really dope
And we kept fighting, we kept fighting
They pushed and they shoved but we couldn’t stop
And we breathe, and we breathe
When we did, well we just couldn’t stop
I was dreaming, I was dreaming
Broken chords, broken song, every broken heart
I saw my friends, I saw my friends
And everyone that I’ve ever known
And we breathe, and we breathe
When we did, well we just couldn’t stop
And then I saw you, and when I saw you
We did everything that we wanted to
We said goodbye, we said goodbye
And we left everyone all behind
