I feel sick You're drowning in the pit of my stomach You don't know that I'm caught Thinking you remind me of someone I can face no more I've gotta get him out of my mind
I believe they can take anything from me But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace They can say all they wanna say about me But I'm gonna carry on I'm gonna keep on singing my song And every time I tried to be what they wanted from me It never came naturally So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see All the good around me I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me Instead of simply just remembering to breathe I'm human, I ain't able to please Everyone at the same time, so now I find My peace of mind living one day at a time
I call it acceptance, when you don't play your cards. I call it acceptance, when you don't live your heart. No excuses, I'll leave the town. 'Cause I've lived in a rollercoaster, for a little while. And it didn't seem to get that high. This marathon has no end I know, but all I can do is run. And I forgive my legs when they burn. And they burn.
I'm done, there's nothing left to show I try but can't let go Are you happy where you're standing still? Do you really want the sugar pill? I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start Tonight it feels so hard As the train approaches Gare Du Nord As I'm sure your kiss remains employed Am I only dreaming?
Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram You call yourself a friend? I got two left feet and I'm starting to cheat On my girlfriend again I caught her picking her nose As the crowd cheered for an overdose And I dont suppose you know where this train goes There was a party that you had to miss Because your friend kept cutting her wrists Hyperpoliticized sexual trysts "Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist" I said "Hey kids we're all just the same What a shame"
I've told these stories and I've said these lies I ignore what my heart tells me and I break it every time I never think I lose but it's a losing game and I'm breaking all the rules thinking that I'm gonna change
Yeah, you stick up for your friends And you've got a lot of heart. You remind me of myself Before I lost my nerve. I've been counting my mistakes. I can see all that we've lost And I don't want to talk About the old days. Disregard those clapping hands. They'll turn to punches when you're down. Disregard the critics' praise. They'll be the first to tell the news That you've sold your soul. Disregard those dollar signs. They'll buy the biggest house in hell Where you'll live alone. Just keep your head down, Keep your friends close, Hold fast to your beliefs And, whatever else you do, Stay True.
i love to see my city glow, them shawties puttin on a show, made it from that liquor sto, that motherfucker so cold f.stokes + lazerbeak is unreal
Raise a toast to St. Joe Strummer I think he might have been our only decent teacher Getting older makes it harder to remember We are our only saviors We're gonna build something this summer
I can't remember when the earth turned slowly So I just waited with the lights turned out again I lost my place but I can't stop this story I've found my way but until then I'm only spinning
And I can’t carry on living like this, talking through glass. You know that I can’t be the one to banish the mist, and ghosts in your past. And so I’m left without a choice but walking out, Though I’ve no hope I’ll ever find someone like you. My head screaming I have to leave you, but my heart is filled with doubts; I don’t I wanna leave, but tell me what else can I do?
I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure Every step I take, leads to one mistake I keep going right back to the one thing that I need I can't mend this torn state I'm in, getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve the pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from
Love, if you want the truth Anything's possible You can walk upon the moon Or you can watch it roll It's never in the stars It's in your heart Yeah, you'll be kicked around But get up anyway You'll be broken into better shape
Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then? Been on a huge Manchester Orchestra kick lately.
Once upon a time I Thought you were the hero I waited for you all night I closed my eyes and slept for years You kissed me like a sunrise I feel it through my forehead I felt it like a goodbye I'm not myself
We're all just everyday people And there's a part of you Connected with everyone else And there's me and there's you. This plot can get so confusing Oh, if you only knew If I could I'll take you with me When I'm here and you're there. Are you alone?
I can't compete with the clear eyes of strangers I'm more and more replaced By my friends each night I can't compete Just can't recover How many years it's been, it's day one in my mind
Oh, a second verse! Well, color me fatigued I'm hiding in the leaves in the CD jacket sleeves tired of entertaining some double-dipped meaning a soft serve analogy This drunken angry slur in thirty-one flavors // We all know art is hard When we don't know who we are
Sitting alone in the dark of a stadium He whispers his secrets into a cheap guitar With the flick of his wrist he turns words into melodies Chords into church bells, fill up the allies Lovers intwine in the heat of the night And by dawn are apart in the shivering silences We will pretend That it's all just made up The songs that he writes Are too personal He can't play them for anyone When he's all alone, the lovesong writer sings Ooooh Can anyone hear me now? No one hears him now So he stumbles through syllables, cut from their sentences Lost letters call to him, deep in the alphabet "Please give us meaning"
