Sad Song
02:43
|
|||
|
I've got friends who love me, but I still feel sad
I've got parents who love me, but I still feel sad
No matter what I do, I just can't get glad
Even if my life isn't all that bad
I listen to music, but I never dance
I never really feel like shaking my cans
I never really know what to do with my hands
For reasons I don't even really understand
Chloe: Hello?
James: Hey, Chloe, how are you?
Chloe: Hey James! I'm great, how are you?
James: Actually, I've been a bit sad lately
Chloe: Oh no! Did something happen?
James: No, no, nothing happened. I- I've just been kind of sad, for, like, no reason
Chloe: Oh... Right... Okay.
Met a nice girl, said she liked my pants
"Maybe we should go on a trip to France"
But every single time she tries to hold my hand
I get a bad feeling in the back of my neck
I got the box set of friends, but I never laugh
Not even Joey or Chandler can make me laugh
I try to cheer up, but I still feel sad
I try to write songs, but they never rhyme
I made my own band called Sunflowers for Sam
The people who like it tell me I'm the man
And I don't really know if I feel like I am
But I'll just keep on doing the best that I can
I've got friends who love me, but I still feel sad
I've got parents who love me, but I still feel sad
No matter what I do, I just can't get glad
Even if my life isn't all that bad
I listen to music, but I never dance
I never really feel like shaking my cans
I never really know what to do with my hands
For reasons I don't even really understand

Black Cat
02:03
|

|
O, black cat that lives on my roof
I don't quite know if I wanna come back home to you
That look in your eye like I'm gonna die
O, black cat that lives on my roof
I have a funny feeling, like I recognise you
The sound of your cry rings out in the sky
Your claws in my mind, I always feel you behind me
O, black cat that lives on my roof
When I'm asleep at night I'm dreaming about you
I know that you're there, I hate the way that you stare at me
Day and night, even when you're out of sight
That look in your eye like I'm gonna die

I Don't Deserve You
03:40
|
|||
|
I don't deserve you
I don't come close
I don't deserve you, I don't
And everyone knows
I can't imagine
The one who does
If ever I met them
I'd tell them to run
You are the worst person I know
It's not even close
When I think about you, I know
Who I hate the most
You'll have no friends
No bridges to mend
Nobody to care
Alone in the end
You don't deserve me
You don't come close
You don't deserve me, you don't
Withering rose

Miranda

I know you can feel real dark inside
You can want a place to hide, sometimes
I know you can find it hard to smile
It doesn't always heal with time, like they say
Making friends in real low places
Where no one knows your name
You're trying to erase yourself
I wonder who's to blame
Come and go from people's lives
Just play them like a game
They tell you that they love you
But you never feel the same
They tell you that they love you
But you've never felt a thing
Poison flower
Sweet and sour
I know you're always gonna let them down
They'll never hear another sound from you
And I know you never meant to hurt no one
You're the victim
Poison flower
Sweet and sour
Poison flower
Overpower

There Is No One
05:17
|
|||
|
There is no air in my lungs
There is no blood in my heart
There is no song to be sung
There is no end, there's no start
There is no sound in my ears
There is no taste on my tongue
There is no far, there's no near
There is no old, there's no young
There is no touch on my skin
There is no light in my eyes
There is no where, there's no when
There is no light in my life
There is a plane overhead
There are things I never said
There's a white background
There was a hope I'd found
There is no one
There is no one
But you
|

Parasite
04:37
|
|||
|
There's a parasite
That plagues your mind
It lives out of reach
Coiled around your spine
There's a black hole
You can't feel the light it holds
But when you smile
You light up the room
And when we part
It's always too soon

Alex
I know that your boyfriend's a martial artist
But I'll go in the octagon against him
And I'll fight my hardest
For your heart and maybe even your hand
Please tell me I'd still have a chance after he rearranges my face
With his judo chops and karate kicks
Or whatever tricks he uses
Alex
I know you're not available but I still love you nonetheless
And even if he makes a mess of me, at least I tried my best
Maybe you could nurse me back to health
And help me to pay for all the surgeries I need
To reattach the parts of me
That he sent flying

We Can't Talk
01:55
|
|||
|
Why can't we just talk?
It seems like every time we try, we fail
Would we be better off
If we just called it quits and decided to bail?
I know that when we argue
Baby, you're not all there
I know that when we talk sometimes
I got you pulling at your hair
If only you were smarter
You'd see how right I am
If only you were able to understand
Why can't we just talk?
It seems like every time we try, we fail
I might be better off
Just trying to be friends with a brick wall
If only you could see
How deeply your stupidity perplexes me
Your incompetence knows no end
I think it would be better if we weren't friends

Black & White
04:58
|
|||
|
Do you shape your view to see the world in two?
Black and white, wrong and right
People who give, people who take
People who love, people who hate
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
'Cause some people take what you haven't nailed down
But you can't walk around
With nails in your heart
'Cause some people take what you haven't nailed down
But you can't walk around
With nails in your heart
Do you know the truth about what you have to lose?
All that you love, all that you hate
A dollar short, a day too late
A moment gone, a day the same
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
You can't let them in
No, you can't let them bring you down
'Cause some people take what you haven't nailed down
But you can't walk around
With nails in your heart
'Cause some people take what you haven't nailed down
But you can't walk around
With nails in your heart

Silent Escape
05:09
|
|||
|
Well, I know you don't want anyone to know your pain
And I know when you talk there's always something more to say
Let it out, let it show
There's always something more for me to know
If you want to be seen, you have to let yourself be shown
If you want to be known, then open up and let yourself go
Let it out, let it show
Don't hide it all away until tomorrow
Silent escape
Hide it away
Who your are
What you want to say
Sweep it all away
Under the rug
Until you become
Someone you hate
|

Parallel
05:38
|
|||
|
There
Did you feel that?
That shift in the earth
Now
Do you feel that?
That bend in the air
I'm
Not meant to be here
At the end of the world
There
Did you hear that?
It's all begun to tear apart
I
Don't remember
Has this feeling been here from the start?
I'm
Not meant to be here
I fell here from somewhere parallel
|

Good for You
05:11
|
|||
|
Well, good for you
You made it through another one unscathed
Without a single mark upon your name
I now know why
You never even let me have a say
'Cause everything with you is always a game
That I don't even know we're playing
Until it's too late
And how was I supposed to know
When every second word that came out of your mouth
Was just a lie you were telling to yourself?
(To yourself)
And what was I supposed to do
When every second word I ever said to you
Never got through?
Sometimes I wish
That I was even half of the monster that
You went and told everybody that I was
'Cause maybe then
I wouldn't have to feel this pain that I have
And how was I supposed to know
When every second word that came out of your mouth
Was just a lie you were telling to yourself?
(To yourself)
And what was I supposed to do
When every second word I ever said to you
Never got through?

No Hope
03:57
|
|||
|
He's got no hope
He's gonna choke
Send him home
He's got no hope
He's gonna smoke himself away
And while away the day
He's got no chance
They're gonna dance
On his grave
He's got no chance
He's not a man, just a boy
And they're gonna destroy him
He's out of luck
He's gonna muck it all up
He's out of tune
He's from the dark side of the moon
