I know you're tired, but hear me out
I've got a lot of things to be mad about
there's a bunch of stuff I need to get off my chest
I'll start you off with something small and then pile on the rest
if you're equal to the test
then may I please request...
I know you're bored, but wait a while
there's a ton of other grievances on the pile
your eyes are rolling and you can't disguise
that nothing that I've said is a shock or even a surprise
and you wish you'd got supplies
a milkshake or some french fries
anything to keep you conscious
while I keep on cracking wise
and I know I sound obnoxious
but I won't apologise
you took my hand, led me away
said you had plenty of time, just not today
I couldn't protest, you had the right
I know my tales of woe would have kept you up all night
so I didn't put up a fight
and before my thoughts could scatter
I headed home to write
surely my opinions matter?
I am large and strong and white
and you must hear my insights
and so it ends, as all things must
a book deal and a signing tour. it's only just
with my new earnings, a brand new car
to park outside
maison de you know who my parents are
cinema room, private bar
at the front door a gold star
from the advance for my memoir
and I know it makes you bitter
but you won't get very far
if you’re not verified by twitter
then you're not on my radar
does it make you feel even shitter
that you don't have your own brand of cigar
or employ your own outfitter?
well I bid you au revoir...

You must be new around here
Let me give you a word of advice….
Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling….
So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts
Boy, you’ve been warned
That not every corner of the world
Is looking for a helping hand
And where I’m from
You’re only worth
What you can demand
Or the price that you command
Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling
They know a fresh foal on its own
Is only a matter of time
So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts
Just like yours
So keep it closed
So boy, don’t be brave
I’ve eaten bigger hearts than yours
Folded in tortillas
But because I find it sweet
How you tipped your hat to me
And called me senorita
And because my own heart still must have
A little glimmer of sympathy left
I’ll give you fair warning
But I’ll only say this once
So lean your fresh young ear to my lips
And heed this:
Head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures circling
They know a fresh foal on its own
Is only a matter of time
So head down when you come around here
Eyes low when you come around here
Don’t smile when you come around here
The vultures feed on open hearts
Just like yours
So keep it closed
Don’t let them see that you’re afraid
And I won’t let them see me watch you walking away
Head down!
Eyes low!
The vultures….
Boy…
Boy…

what's that, on the TV
that turns you, into a zombie
all I did, was turn it off
I guess I'm in luck, you haven't got a molotov
you're right, it's your bedtime
don't look at me like I have crossed a line
I know that life, is unfair
please don't tell me that you have to share to care
and we're not going to back down
and we're not going to back down
you might not like, the things that I watch
but you've got no right, to put me on a stopwatch
I just want to watch it, one my time
and your draconian measures don't quite fit the crime
I'm not showing, my hand
and I'm treating my feet like there stuck in quicksand
your so horrible, you are the worst
I feel my head is about to burst
and we're not going to back down
and we're not going to back down
I'm gonna poke, poke the fire
there's a truth, that we have to confess
when it comes to this
only mother knows best
we'll brush our teeth
get ready for bed
dry our eyes from the tears that we shed
Hold back, take a moment
find a way to find atonement
and before we close our eyes
we, we, both say sorry!

Sometimes I feel disillusioned
By this life's incessant games
Sometimes I feel so confused that
I forget my own first name
Sometimes I get irritated
By the injustice all around
Sometimes I get overwhelmed and
feel so lost, and then I'm found
I have your love
I have your hope
I have your arms
You help me, give me strength to cope
Some days are an uphill battle
And it seems I'm losing pace
Some days are a constant struggle
And I feel like a hopeless case
Some days I end up in pieces
Need some reassembling now
Some days it just doesn't happen
And I start to wonder how
Stuck in spirals in my head
Lying sleepless in my bed
Hope for better days instead
Lying sleepless in my bed
I have your love
I have your hope
I have your arms
You help me, give me strength to cope

When I was young
And had more flair (and had a lot more flair)
I spent some time
In the principal’s chair
School for me
Was a monstrous drag
I acted out
And my grades sagged (and my grades just sagged)
Back I went in the principal’s chair
I went back into the principal’s chair
The teacher didn’t
Bother to take roll (care to take the roll)
So I skipped class
And took a stroll (and I took a stroll)
Back I went in the principal’s chair
I went back into the principal’s chair
On the golf team
I took some strokes (I went and hit some strokes)
And while I played
I had some smokes (Yes I had some smokes)
I went back into the principal’s chair
Back I went in the principal’s chair
I seemed to get right into the teacher's hair, so
Back I went right into the principal’s chair
When I graduated
And got out of here
The teachers gave a great big cheer
(The teachers got up and gave me a great big cheer)
I went back into the principal’s chair
Back I went in the principal’s chair
I seemed to get straight into the teacher's hair, so
Back I went right into the principal’s chair

Walking down a snow lined field
Are you suffering now?
Icicles hang off your chin
Its only nature somehow
So close your eyes and count to ten
Can magic beam you elsewhere then
Stronlling dfown a sunset beach
all the suffering goes
Gentle ukes on a sound drenched breeze
so far from home
I'll try to make it there with you
I'll close my eyes and dream it to
we know we'll always find a way
then we will have found our island place
So now , dream of the ocean life
Somehow, hammocks are all in line
We will swing, to the magical island breeze
Magical island breeze
Then one day retirements here
is this reality? (Or a dream)
You two sweethearts have new beginnings
are we really free? you'll see
Go fly on that big silver bird
to places seen but never heard
you'll find me waiting at the pier
to toast that new found freedom with a cheer
So now , dream of the ocean life
Somehow, hammocks are all in line
We will swing, to the magical island breeze

Been inside for days
And it feels I’m in a haze
Bliss of grocery store
Since days are such a bore
Dreams without a mask
Are the nude dreams of the past
Wake up in a cloud
Headlines form a shroud
No more crowded trains
that make me feel insane
Stars chill out in peace
Neon lights, flicker release
Coke machine in lot
Send signals to space bot
Pluto waits there strong
Planets hum a happy song
Space echoes send ships of synths
To islands that spin swirly myths
Dream of palm tree walls
Instead of shopping malls
Shiny plump rice balls
Footsteps, empty halls
Toss coin at the shrine
Which fortune will be mine?
Fade in Fade out
Breathe in Breathe out
Sunlight, moonlight, starlight, bar light, car light, dark night, heart light, sleep tight
Been inside for days
And it feels I’m in a haze
Bliss of grocery store
Since days are such a bore
Dreams without a mask
Are the nude dreams of the past
Wake up in a cloud
Headlines form a shroud
No more crowded trains
that make me feel insane
Stars chill out in peace
Neon lights, flicker release
Coke machine in lot
Send signals to space bot

Believing, I keep believing, I keep believing this is a zero-sum game
Feeling, I've got a feeling, a stupid feeling your happiness takes mine away
And so I smile, pretend to smile for the things you did
I'm not as big as you think
Not as big as you think I am
Turns out my jealousy is hard to tame
Pulling at its leash to lunge into my face
Threatened, I think I'm threatened, seems like I'm threatened by how amazing you are
They say that we're in the gutter but only some of us are looking up at the stars
Or are we lobsters in a bucket trying to pull each other down from the lid
I'm not as big as you think
Not as big as you think I am
Turns out my jealousy is hard to tame
Pulling at its leash to lunge into my face
Petty, I think I'm petty, I guess I'm petty for feeling shitty and mean
Pretty, you're just so pretty, and just so popular, so much more talented than me
I've got Schaden-fucking-freude, you're such a nice girl, such a lovable thing
I'm not as big as you think
Not as big as you think I am
Turns out my jealousy is hard to tame
Pulling at its leash to lunge into my face
And even though I tried to be
As kind as you've always been
Turns out my jealousy's a wild beast
Ripping out my lungs for its unholy feast
I'm not as big as you think I am
I'm not as big as you think I am

I’m digging deep into my soul to learn the lessons I forgot,
There so many diamonds here, I gettin' pretty lost,
I’m afraid I melted away in your hands again,
The comfort of the sun feels like sandpaper on my skin.
This burning sensation of loneliness tears up my self control,
My gnarly tears fall from a strangers face and opens up the door,
A folly drip drop filling up my lost identity,
And here comes all the messy questions…
Oh, who will I be now?
Am I no longer me now?
Is there another way?
You see, I crawled from a dark and dreary dream.
I hurt more deeply than this hole I’ve dug myself in,
Don’t get too close to my flame it’ll make your head spin,
I’ve got a mouthful of flowers and they giving me cavities,
I don’t know how earth can deal with all this gravity,
Can’t shake this pain even though I am a dog
And everyday is the same,
I’ve got so much hope it’s a funny game,
All these fake burning dreams
It smells like tomorrow,
All I’ve ever wanted was to heal this sorrow.
Lift me out
I think I’m ready now
Please hold me steady now
I’m gunna give it one more try
Because I’ve learned that I’m so much bigger than the things that wanna swallow me,
And I know that the skin surrounding me is all that I need,
It’s all I need to be free
And it’s okay to be me.

I can't go back
I can't go back
Grasping for words, I don't know how
I've got nothin, nothin now
Turnin the pages, press rewind
But it's all I can find
My head is only in one place
It's been going on for days
My heart is stayin' in this space
But I can't fall into these ways
Can't seem to keep the feels at bay
It's been going on for days
Just wanna keep it on replay
But I can't fall into these ways

He walks along a road so grey
Colours rise on the instep
The 9-5 repeating brain
the only way is defensive
He cannot suffer cos he smiles
like cheshire cats on a mouse train
can he break a mind ingrained
Thats the question
So go and answer now
I'm within me
this is so clear
I can't feel me
everyday in everyway its killing me now
So you won't see me
When i need it
I won't dream it
Everyday in everyway I don't find the key
Looking at my past revealed
Why you keeping on repeating
Who you are in their glazed eyes
is only you if you make it
Breaking patterns frees your brain
Discover all that is inside
only you can stop the pain
Don't hide it now
And let the party begin
Am i within me?
Its no so clear
Can i feel me?
everyday in everyway there's maybe a light
Maybe see me
when i need it
I could dream it
Everyday in everyway its now within reach
I am here see
It is so clear
I can feel me
Everyday in everyway its coming for me
Now you see me
I don't need it
I can dream it
Everyday in everyway i'm grabbing the key
Grabbing the key

You know I’m sick
Of all the shit
That you keep saying
And I am sick
Of all the games
That you play
Like this hurt
Is a line
That you can snort and be fine
And you don’t
Give a fuck
What you pay
You think you
Can keep on pushing
And we won’t want
To push you back
You think everyone else
Is the problem
And we should all
Cut you some slack
But this line’s
Not a snort
Of cocaine
It’s the line
Where you stop
And get the fuck off the train
Cuz the stories you tell
They’re not worth the hell you create
And it’s not your vampires
That I want to eviscerate
Don’t crawl back
Into the shadows
Stand right there
In the light
Cuz if you stay where
Everyone can see you
There’ll be no one left
For you to bite
Cuz we’re done
With your snort of cocaine
This is the part
Where we stop
And kick you off of this fucking train
Cuz the stories you tell
They’re not worth the hell you create
And it’s not your vampires
That we want to eviscerate
Cuz a life
Ain’t a snort
Of cocaine
This is the part
Where you stop
And get the fuck off this train
Cuz the stories you tell
They’re not worth the hell you create
And it’s not your vampires
That we want to eviscerate
Eviscerate
Eviscerate
Eviscerate

Procrastination - is all I’ve got going on
Procrastination - is all that I’ve got
I know I’ve got things to do but
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Too many things for me to choose so
I’m not gonna
I’m not gonna
Procrastination - is all I’ve got going on
Procrastination - is all that I’ve got
Procrastination - is all I’ve got going on
Procrastination - is all that I’ve got
So many things piled on my plate
I don’t have time for it
Don’t have time for it
I would feel better if I made a start
But I don’t have energy
Don’t have energy
I know that it’s not half as bad as I’m imagining
But still I find so many way to put off doing anything
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
So put me on a deadline
You know I need a deadline
Procrastination - is all I’ve got going on
Procrastination - is all that I’ve got
Procrastination - is all I’ve got going on
Procrastination - is all that I’ve got

Blueberries for remembering what isn’t yours to know
Fennel on the dawning sky for taking it back when the birds come flurrying home
I don’t want the wind to breathe, I want the ground to shake
I don’t want the seeds to sprout, I want the earth to break
Paper cups of coffee and the charger for your phone
And the tiniest snip of the lining of something you own
I don’t want the sun to burn, I want it to go black
I don’t want the rain to hurt, I want the sky to crack
I don’t want the morning dew, I want the creeping rot
I don’t want the world to turn, I want it all to stop
If you were to go, I wouldn’t know
If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t care

Light of Night (Y Noson Deffro) -
V1:
Trwy’r dyddiau hir
Yr oriau’n symud yn rhydd
Dyma’r amser dwi’n gofyn
Beth ydyn ni’n ei wneud?
Mae’r dyddiau hyn yn hir
blynyddoedd hedfan heibio
Rwy’n gwybod na fydd yn hir
Cyn i chi adael
CHORUS
Ond tra bydd y noson yn deffro
Dyna rwy’n weld eich goleuni
Tra bydd eich llygaid yn gorffoes
Yna yr wyf yn d’addoli
A tra bydd y noson yn deffro
Dyna rwy’n weld eich goleuni
Tra bydd eich llygaid yn gorffoes
Yna yr wyf yn d’addoli
V2
Rwy'n cofio'ch cam cyntaf
A’r tro cyntaf i chi siarad
Pob un o’ch brifo
A phob ymladd â’ch brawd
Mae’r dyddiau hyn yn hir
blynyddoedd hedfan heibio
Rwy’n gwybod na fydd yn hir
Cyn i chi adael
CHORUS
Ond tra bydd y noson yn deffro
Dyna rwy’n weld eich goleuni
Tra bydd eich llygaid yn gorffoes
Yna yr wyf yn d’addoli
A tra bydd y noson yn deffro
Dyna rwy’n weld eich goleuni
Tra bydd eich llygaid yn gorffoes
Yna yr wyf yn d’addoli
V1
Through these long days
Where the hours move as they will
This is the time I ask myself
What are we doing?
The days are long
but the years they fly by
I know it won’t be long
before us you leave…
CHORUS
But when the night is waking
That’s when I see your light
Then when your eyes are resting
I know that it’s you I adore…
And when the night is waking
That’s when I see your light
Then when your eyes are resting
I know that it’s you I adore…
V2
I remember your first step
And the first time that you spoke
Every one of your hurts
and every fight with your bro…
The days are long
but the years they fly by
I know it won’t be long
before us you leave…
CHORUS
But when the night is waking
That’s when I see your light
Then when your eyes are resting
I know that it’s you I adore…
And when the night is waking
That’s when I see your light
Then when your eyes are resting
I know that it’s you I adore…

My fists clenched tight
But I’m unraveling
I still got bite
But I’m unraveling
I pushed away all guilt and pain
But I’m unraveling
All zipped up closed
But I’m unraveling
My anger glows
But I’m unraveling
I stripped away all sense of shame
But I’m unraveling
Fraying strands unwind
Rotting fabric crumbling
It’s too late to cry help me
Bitter knots untied
Nothing to hold on to
And my mouth is dry
I’ll stand my ground
While I’m unraveling
Just one more round
While I’m unraveling
I’ve lost my heart
I’ve lost my name
|

(Chorus)
So many things
That make life great
I’ll try to list them
On my slate
I like to see
My team play ball
It’s fun to be in
Symphony Hall
(Chorus)
I like to read
A favorite book
Love breakfast in
Our little nook
(Chorus)
It’s fun to play
The family games
I feel good learning
New friends’ names
Movies, plays, and
Conversation
News about our
Mighty nation
(Chorus)
I love my wife
And her beef stew
And don’t forget
I sure like you
(Chorus)

I know we could have been great
But it feels like too much at stake
I ought to show you a sign
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time
Hopes high, head low
Think yes, say no
Decide, denied
I’ll just sleep it off this time
Turn on, tune out
Self worth, self doubt
Top of... nevermind
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I know when you want to talk
We tend to run out the clock
I’d wake up if I were inclined
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I just don’t want us to rock the boat
Won’t what we avoid still stay afloat?
At least that’s what I’d like to think
I’d rather drift away than sink
You know we’ve been here before
And we could settle the score
If I’d speak the back of my mind
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I know we could have been great
But it feels like too much at stake
I ought to show you a sign
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time...

Sabrina says that I’m too uptight
Sabrina’s always staying out all night
Sabrina’s always got a boy to take home
Sabrina can’t stand being alone
And when the pretty people lose
She don’t know what to do
Cuz she’s prettier than me
And she’s prettier than you
But sometimes even us monsters
Get a winning hand
And I can’t stand when she acts
Like being pretty is all she has
Sabrina likes the crème de la crème
Even though Sabrina’s vegan
Sabrina likes the best of the best
Sabrina lets me clean up the rest
But when the pretty people lose
She don’t know what to do
Cuz she’s prettier than me
And she’s prettier than you
But sometimes even us monsters
Get a winning hand
And I can’t stand when she acts
Like being pretty is all she has
Oh she can’t stand to lose
And I can’t stand to see her cry
She won’t let me win
And she won’t let me kiss her eyes
So she takes a bottle
Locks the door
And finds somebody
Who’ll treat her as bad as she feels
Cuz no matter the cost
Sabrina always closes the deal
Sabrina says that I’m too uptight
Sabrina’s always staying out all night
Sabrina’s always got a boy to take home
Sabrina can’t stand being alone
