Holy Moly 04:05
Don't say you own me, I'll meet you for peace I get a taste of your invitation It's not what you see but I can't come and stand, For your own limitations Did I ever know you or did you just believe That we'd meet up again now. Don't sell me tomorrow I'll never understand your position on stations Chorus: Don't say what I mean / Because I've done nothing obscene I can't say what you do / Because I've done nothing for you Your own reservations are coming back inside I could never forfeit this. Come a little bit closer And maybe I can understand what I told you Despair in your mind, I don't want it to leave, I can't believe that it's over Depression from opiates, I cannot stop Forget that I ever fault you. Chorus: Don't say what I mean / Because I've done nothing obscene I can't say what you do / Because I've done nothing for you Bridge: I won't relieve you since it's not, lifting my clover. I don't believe in what I can't see but I know that it's on you. I can't disappear but I know where to turn up when it's over. Just pass me a jump off quickly, I just can't wait to move on now. You're owed complications, I've leave them again And then I'll leave them to you. Disparage my mind, sink your ship all alone And your animal life too. When I pass you there, you and I will forget I don't know why I get caught up Free spirits you'll find, you'll move it anywhere If it'll mitigate you there.

You break me down faster than I want you to And when you're gone, you don't know what you can do You medicate and you complicate your head You're better off before all the things that you've said Chorus: I'm looking ahead now and I'm just leaving you all behind It's hard to tell when you're coming or going And I can just tell that things are slowing It drives me mad that you're doing so well Because what you got I'm not trying to sell Chorus: I'm looking ahead now and I'm just leaving you all behind Bridge: I say goodnight evil woman I need a moment from you But at the start of the morning I'm wondering what did we just do Whenever we talk I like you a lot less And I hate that I want you through this mess The more I light and burn up, the less I'm thinking But I still see you whenever I start blinking Chorus: I'm looking ahead now and I'm just leaving you all behind I'm losing myself but it's still you I'm trying to find.

Hold your eyes above all your traces Since it’s the things I know that you want to see And I don’t mind but I’ll easily find All the reckless things you’re doing to me Chorus: But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show The things that make you come back to me And if you make your same mistakes I wont care Because it’s the things you wished that you’d never blend All the while you’re mixing my confessions And they’re slowly getting lose in your head Chorus: But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show The things that make you come back to me All the wasted and waking moments I’ll forget the breaks that you’ve issued me For miles and miles I’m forgiving your style From the happenings of our dead routine Chorus: But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show The things that make you come back to me And I’ll ask to hold me down if I’m not keeping secrets Of all the things I think I want to pursue I don’t mean to be rude, but if it’s true All the things people are saying of you Chorus: But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show The things that make you come back to me I don’t see the attention in the things That I left behind just to get through to you And if I’m wrong I’m sure I’ll get along And complicate the next occasion that comes through Chorus: But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show The things that make you come back to me

You tell me I don’t get you But sometimes I don’t want to I’ll slowly lose my mind trying to figure you out I guess that you’re the one but you’re still filled with doubt Pre-chorus Come on, and learn, from your concerns Chorus: Hey, Hey there goes your wild one now Hey, Hey your lost inside your cloud Hey, Hey there goes your wild one now Hey, Hey your lost inside your cloud You make me lose all of my brains You make me see in stars and grains You’re color coded, I see you in blue You drive me crazy what else is new Pre-chorus Come on, and learn, from your concerns Chorus: Hey, Hey there goes your wild one now Hey, Hey your lost inside your cloud Hey, Hey there goes your wild one now Hey, Hey your lost inside your cloud Inside your cloud, inside
5.
Fake my mistakes, so you Don’t have to know what they stood for How can one day pass And you not love me anymore When all your dreams were left in ruins I tried to be them countless times I’m drifting but don’t know which way I’m going I just know you won’t be by my side Bridge Sometimes I don’t wish I could be you I’m so sorry I’m so far ahead Please say you’ll please me when I need to I’ll take that homeward shot instead I’ll stay away when I’m awake But I can’t promise in my sleep And when my eyes fade I’ll make a trade For a break from my reality Down, down, down, come down and we'll spit on your grave We're living with all the mindless and the misbehaved I'll take a piece of your peace if it'll get me saved Oh, listen to me, oh won't you fucking listen to me You're taking turns with yourself to disassemble me But you're not falling to realms of your conformity If there's one thing where we both know that we can agree Oh, come on closer, oh won't you come a little closer You place my life and my love in all your random orders I'm looking at her and I simply start to distort her We're driving up these useless barriers and borders I'll listen to you or I won't listen to you

Breakthrough 04:14
I’m alive but I’m barely breathing I wish I was blind so I wouldn’t know what I was seeing You’re breaking new waves and you’re clashing with masses I’m on my way with your pills and wine glasses Chorus: You’re nothing but trouble and no I don’t mind it We’re passing the threshold and you’ve tried to hide it We’re in danger of being some strangers that barely say they do And I’d like to know what I knew, I’m telling you, I’m going through a breakthrough Why are the beautiful ones always crazy I’m lost in illusions but it doesn’t ever amaze me I don’t miss the misses but you’re slowly starting to push towards Remembering the members of all the closures that you’ve adored Chorus: You’re nothing but trouble and no I don’t mind it We’re passing the threshold and you’ve tried to hide it We’re in danger of being some strangers that barely say they do And I’d like to know what I knew, I’m telling you, I’m going through a breakthrough
7.
Say you’ll need me time and time again. But I would love to dance and I’ll see you again anyway But oh my, my what you said and the things you can’t take away See, what you need in me most and we’ll take it slow day by day And please, won’t you hold me in your arms And I can’t help to hide from what you said One more time, it’s okay and I won’t level with you But please come on home to your house made of sticks and bones I swear it’s not as weird as not, having you here anymore Just walk in instead Chorus: You wanna play but you don’t wonder why All the things that make us say goodbye anytime it’s ok I’m a loser ‘cause I don’t know how to not be one Know how to not, know how to not be one yet. Talk to your back, hold your arms high over your head And please, say it before your black elephant comes knocking at my door And I, say it’s fine but I don’t question why I’m running back to you and taking my time And oh my Lord, I couldn’t want you more Chorus: You wanna play but you don’t wonder why All the things that make us say goodbye anytime it’s okay I’m a loser ‘cause I don’t know how to not be one Know how to not be, know how to not be one... Chorus: You wanna play but you don’t wonder why All the things that make us say goodbye anytime it’s okay I’m a loser ‘cause I don’t know how to not be one Please, save my soul You pass me your peace pipe when I’m out of control And I’ll, infiltrate your head all the time Send me your lies through the eyes of the Devil I cannot see you and God as the same, ooh I cannot see, you and God as the same.
8.
Your indecisions I don’t really mind but I can’t find faith in you, in you Displays of your random emotions And I don’t easily forget about those notions, it’s true It’s true, it’s true Your fresh off your loading dock and catch me where I stand And you’re just leaning on me and I don’t simply wanna hold your hand And I say "Hey boy, what you talking about” And I say “Hey boy, what you talking about” Your twisted frame of mind has you twisted in your bed And when I come and meet you I don’t even wanna know what we pretend And I say “Hey boy, what you screaming about” And I say “Hey boy, what you screaming about” and on we go Your days are counting down and I don’t wanna, give it up to you And I’m not thinking twice about the consequence of coming home with you And I say “Hey boy, what you yelling about” And I say “Hey boy, what you yelling about” You’re only wasted now by the things going down your neck You left me stranded here ‘cause you used your pencil to write down all your checks And I say “Hey boy, what you shouting about” And I say “Hey boy, what you shouting about” and on we go Just stop your soda pop, and I’ll just blow my own top Maybe I can’t be such in high demand ‘cause I’m already in your band And I say “Hey boy, what you talking about” “Hey boy, what you talking about” and on we go. You’ll slowly see my intentions jumping loosely from all dimensions towards you, towards you I am so easily divided but not about you and I being united as two, as two
9.
Wake me up when you have something to say Something more than “I’ll see you another day” And, ooh, you’re restless and I see right through All the things I’m directing to you You’re coming up but you’re still nowhere near You leave to greet me but I’m already here And, ooh, I’m lost without the sound of your voice But I sometimes perceive as noise Chorus: We’ll only make it once the sun begins to rise I’m mourning the evening because I can no longer look into your eyes I heard you’re going away somewhere very far And I guess I’ll lose you before I know who you are And, ooh, we’re not done and I know you’re aware So just wait for me and I’ll meet you there Chorus: We’ll only make it once the sun begins to rise I’m mourning the evening because I can no longer look into your eyes If we started over I still wouldn’t know what to do It’s hard to get you when I can’t even get to you And, ooh, I’m not over being confused and dazed But we need to get out of this place And I want to miss you but you’re always around And I want to kiss you but I’m far from the ground And I want to acquire your full state of mind But it’s not what we both can define I want to acquire your full state of mind But it’s not what we both can define
