Tell Me

Tell me what's it gonna be
Do you wanna see what's left of me?
There ain't nothin' but loose change
And a missed opportunity
Spend another year cooped up inside
And die in obscurity
And that's all that's left for me
Tell me why you gotta go
And leave me crooked and alone
You ain't nothin' but a pretty face
I won't bother to know
Wait a little while and I'll regret
Ever letting you go
And I'll reach a brand new low
The hurt will continue to be my master
I can't break free
Of broken glass shards of memory
That cut so very deep
Spend every day for the rest of time
Just waiting for relief
Ain't nobody gonna set me free

The Greatest Pals
02:56

When we were young we got rejected
By anyone that wasn't us
But I always felt accepted
To the parties we never threw
For the friends we didn't have
We'd build a world of lives spent glad
That we were the greatest pals they had
When we were young we got excited
We'd drop everything just to kiss each other
And I always felt invited
To the parties we never threw
For the friends we didn't have
We'd build a world of lives spent glad
That we were the greatest pals they had
When we were young and inexperienced
Life seemed like a real big deal
The whole world was our oyster
And our love was still real
Now that you're gone I just hear silence
Where there used to be you
All I have left now are these memories
Of the parties we never threw
For the friends we didn't have
We'd build a world of lives spent glad
That we were the greatest pals
That we were the greatest pals
Yeah we were the greatest pals we had

Marlboro Man

Ooh, Marlboro man
Everything seems to go wrong all the time
I'm feeling so tired
Tired of the dreams I see every night
"Well I've got a stress solution
I can put you down gently
Hold you in my lonely arms
'Til you feel nothing
Oh you feel nothing"
Ooh, Marlboro man
How could you dig all the things that I like?
You follow me round, you help me make friends
You're such a swell guy
But now my bones creak and my blood is broke
Like my bank account
But I know I'll feel better, long as I keep
My old friend around
'Cause he's got a stress solution
He can put me down gently
Hold me in his lonely arms
'Til I feel nothing
Oh I feel nothing
Oh I feel nothing
Oh I feel nothing

When Stars Align

Hello, I'm here to say I do
Believe in love
I'll find me a love
When stars align
Hello, I'm here to say I do
Believe in fate
Discover mine
When stars align
Everybody around the clock
Says that talk is getting cheaper
So we're keeping our mouths shut
'Til our teeth are getting weaker
Hello, I'm here to say I do
Believe the world is doomed
We'll survive
If stars align
Everybody around the clock
Says that talk is getting cheaper
So we're keeping our mouths shut
'Til our teeth are getting weaker
Hello, I'm here to say I do
Believe in love
I'll find me a love
When stars align
When stars align
When stars align
When stars align

Girls

I go to shows and all I see are dudes talking about
Everything that's wrong with the world
Not that it's wrong, I just think we need a little more
So how about we hear it from the girls?
I watch the news and all I see are dudes talking about
Everything that's wrong with the world
Not that it's wrong, I just think we need a little more
So how about we hear it from the girls?
How about we hear it from the girls?
Every day she walks around this lonesome nervous town
And then she feels afraid 'cause of what's between her legs
I think it's wrong that half the world should live in fear and doubt
Of their place and value in this world
Not that the guys don't go through their own fair share of shit
But how about we hear it from the girls?
Every day she walks around this lonesome nervous town
And then she feels afraid 'cause of what's between her legs
I think it's wrong that half the world should live in fear and doubt
Of their place and value in this world
Not that the guys don't go through their own fair share of shit
But how about we hear it from the girls?
How about we hear it from the girls?
How about we hear it from the girls?

Little Boo

I told you that I was afraid of ghosts
Nothing meant to offend, just a little joke
But I am not afraid of you
I am not afraid of you, little boo
Oh I am not afraid of you
Afterwards, all your friends started hanging round
All the walls were whispering, "Get out of this house"
But I am not afraid of you
I am not afraid of you, little boo
Oh I am not afraid of you, yeah
Woke up yesterday floating just above my bed
You turned to me and took my hand, this is what you said
Oh I am not afraid of you
I am not afraid of you, little boo
Oh I am not afraid of you
I am not afraid of you, little boo
Oh I am not afraid of you, yeah

Go to Sleep
03:01
|

When I wake up in the morning I just wanna fall asleep
All the sights and sounds and people get to be too much for me
But when I close my eyes
Those better times are living in my dreams
Fully realized with better lines and better editing
I see people smile widely without any cosmic dread
Everything is so surreal when there's no shit inside my head
I can talk to friends and make new ones without a mental break
Or overthinking every problem, or living through my past mistakes
All the love I feel is always good and never filled with fear
When I try to think of happy thoughts the road is always clear
Life's a gas and not a drag, it feels so good to be alive
This is what my life could be if only I could stay inside
My own mind forever in a chamber made for comfy sleep
Kept at perfect temperature perfectly in sync with me
'Cause I've been out of sync with everyone and slowly losing touch
I've started freaking out in public when the fear is just too much
So to all my friends and homies, my parents and my family
I'll see you in the afterlife, I'm gonna go to sleep
I'll see you in the afterlife, I'm gonna go to sleep
I'll see you in the afterlife, I'm gonna go to sleep
