Who Put You Up To This?
03:19
|

I don’t know who put you up to this, but I’m gonna find out, someday
You got me driving to the airport on a Sunday
And I know you’ll give me hate for this
Yeah they’ll burn you at the stake for this
I’m burning up all the obligations
And I’m gonna take a permanent vacation
If only I could feel so free
To call you now would be a breeze
So tell me when you feel the need
We’re letting go for real
In another life I was a bitch
In another life I was your bitch
Here’s how it turned out
In another life I was a fish,
Now I’m sitting on the fucking dish
And I’m good enough for the main course
Even if I’m the one that’s paying for it
If only I could feel so free
To call you now would be a breeze
So tell me when you feel the need
We’re letting go for real

In Flight
03:25
|

Nothing ever changes in this town
The people die or they move out
Everyone but me
And I don’t see a future anymore
It’s been obvious before
to everyone but me
Life is short
And the cliffs are high
I don’t have to close my eyes
To see us in flight
Everyone’s a cynic in this world
They all want to take their turns
Turning it on me
And I thought that I saw you in my dreams
Flipping through a magazine
For something sweet
I thought I’d laugh
Then I cried
It’s like I’m living in a lullaby

Otherside
03:10
|
|||
Days of darkness fade to night
Peering through I can see a crack of light
Slivers of hope, they fade to rust
My daydreams crumble into dust
I walk alone as far as I can find
You stop and ask if i’m alright
There's a hole so big I cannot fill
I don't want you to try but I know you will
Through the grief and tears I cannot hide
I’ll see you see you see you on the other side
I know that time’s supposed to heal
Tell me something good something real
Now I paint my face and pretend
I look for answers in a well that has no end
I know that I’m supposed to call a friend
Can’t waste all day alone in bed
But there’s that hole where you once been
Now the light is streaming in
Through the grief and tears I cannot hide
I’ll see you see you see you on the other side

Roll The Dice
03:14
|
|||
Nothing in this life is really free
Nothing in this life is really free
I want to roll the dice again and again my friend
Faith is child’s play, chance is my religion
I want to roll the dice again
I want to roll the dice again
Win big, win lose, that’s just how the game works
In this city money talks, that’s just how the world works
Making rich another man
Making rich another man
I just want to win
Nothing in this life is really free
Nothing in this life is really free
I want to roll the dice again and again my friend
Emptying my bank account chasing a real living
I wanna roll the dice again (I just want to win)
He’s the deceiver, he tells you what you want and then he leaves
You’re the believer, nothing in this life is really free
He’s the deceiver, he tells you what you want and then he leaves
You’re the believer, nothing in this life is really free

Headful of Sugar
03:28
|

Babe I wanna feed your hunger
Babe I wanna feed your hunger
I had a little too much fun today
I got caught up in a memory that took me away
I was trying to escape but I couldn’t wake
I’ve got a headful of sugar
Want to make your heart beat faster
I’ve got a headful of sugar
Want to defeat your power
Babe, I wanna feed your hunger
I had a little too much fun today
I got caught up in a memory that took me away
I was trying to escape but I couldn’t wake
I’ve got a headful of sugar
Want to make your heart beat faster
I’ve got a headful of sugar
Want to defeat your power
Babe, I wanna feed your hunger

I said something wrong
No surprises there
People say provocateur
That’s the word I’m looking for
I said something rude
It happens all the time
I get myself into trouble when I cross the line
I don’t have control sometimes
I don’t have control sometimes
Locked out of my house
Get a terrible tattoo
Scroll through my contacts call every number besides you
Meet a stranger at a bar and spill my secrets for all time
Wasted all my money on Tecate and some limes
I don’t have control sometimes
I don’t have control sometimes
No no no I don’t have control sometimes
I don’t have control sometimes
On Friday I don’t care what’s the future brings
On Sunday I stay home and close my blinds.
And I don’t care what tomorrow thinks
Today I’m totally mine.
I don’t have control sometimes
I don’t have control sometimes
No no no I don’t have control sometimes
I don’t have control sometimes

Stand By Me
02:44
|
|||
When we met I thought I was dreaming
I want to see you that way
Stood by all my heartache, built me up through the pain
Now I feel something’s different
You want me to stay in my lane
You want a girl who sits back and takes it
That’s not the way that I play
Are you man enough to stand by my side?
(Are you man enough to stand by my side, got myself together but it’s so hard not to cry)
Are you strong enough to ride this ride?
(Are you strong enough to tell me that I’m right, do you really think that we can make it through the night?)
When you find someone quiet
Obeying everyone of your words
Who's gonna worship your footsteps
You like em’ seen and not heard
You’ll remember this feeling
You’ll remember my face
Cause I’m not the one who’s stopping
And you're still screaming my name
Are you man enough to stand by my side?
(Are you man enough to stand by my side, got myself together but it’s so hard not to cry)
Are you strong enough to ride this ride?
(Are you strong enough to tell me that i’m right, do you really think that we can make it through the night?)
Do you think this is easy?
I don’t want to be strong all of the time
Do you think this is easy
I’ve carried this for so long all of the time
Are you man enough to stand by my side?
(Are you man enough to stand by my side, got myself together but it’s so hard not to cry)
Are you strong enough to ride this ride?
(Are you strong enough to tell me that I’m right, do you really think that we can make it through the night?)

Post Love
02:39
|
|||
Post heart, post break
Post love, post hate
Backtrack, erase
Can’t shake your taste
I can’t sleep straight
I can’t sleep straight
In dreams I could still be your lover
Dogs will always fuck another
I don’t want to give into that night
I don’t want to learn what another body likes
I don’t want to wrong when it feels so right
But what do we owe each other in this life?
It’s the truth
I don’t know what that is
It’s the truth
That it’s you that I miss
In the dark
Cause when push comes to shove
Yeah it’s love
And the truth on my lips
Bad thoughts replay
Drive me insane
I dance alone while the tears stream down my face
I can’t think straight i can’t think straight
Now you’re lying with another
Everyone lies to each other
I don’t want to give into the night
I don’t want to learn what another body likes
I don’t want to wrong when it feels so right
But what do we owe each other in this life?
It’s the truth
I don’t know what that is
It’s the truth
That it’s you that I miss
In the dark
Cause when push comes to shove
Yeah it’s love
And the truth on my lips

Baby Don't Cry
03:57

Baby don't cry
It's just the radio playing in the back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
Just like when we were kids
Baby don't cry
It's the only thing that's got your back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
But i'm not sad sad sad
Cooking dinner for one
Got the caretaker on
Lyrics make me exhausted
I just need to clear my head
Tv makes me so mad
Npr is always telling me something bad
Everything made in boardroom gets pumped straight into my head
Baby don't cry
It's just the radio playing in the back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
Just like when we were kids
Baby don't cry
It's the only thing that's got your back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
But i'm not sad sad sad
Give me that nostalgic tone
The one that takes me back
To an imaginary life
With an imaginary past.
Sometimes I feel
I found something real
Baby don't cry
It's just the radio playing in the back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
Just like when we were kids
Baby don't cry
It's the only thing that's got your back
It’s playing sad sad songs now
But i'm not sad sad sad
It’s playing sad sad songs
Sad sad sad
Sad sad sad
Baby don’t cry
Please don’t cry
Sad Sad Sad
Baby don’t cry
Please don’t cry
Please don’t cry
Baby don’t cry
Please don’t cry

Beat The Odds
04:05
|
|||
I can see the lights now
Evil city yeah it’s misunderstood
We can beat the odds now
Evil people our intentions are good
Alright alright alright
We can turn the lights down
We can turn them where you think we should
I can taste success now
Late night late night late nights
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land
Yeah I think we fit in now
Do you think they can see through our disguise
We can beat the odds now
If they just only believe the lies
We tell we tell we tell
Underneath the surface
Everyone’s more wicked than they should
We can beat the odds now
Beat them for good
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land
Nightfall takes the land

Feel Somebody
02:27
|
|||
Yeah yeah yeah
I keep replaying the same old games in my mind mind mind
I’ve had some lovers and I swear I wasted all of their time
Cause late at night you know emotions run high high high
Don’t be so crazy and call someone baby baby yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
If I say I love you will you forget it by tomorrow?
I love forgetting things I never meant because they’re hollow
And maybe if you’ve had a lover you can find another
What are you trying to protect?
What are you trying to protect?
What are you trying to protect?
Yeah
