Face turns black swollen eyes Fall down dead prey to disguise Such a pretty face you filled your head with F*** you glutton joke you're all the same Turn away face the money Dip your hand into the honey Such a pretty fate you filled your head with Pleasures for the rich so close you are Simplicity you're so easily led All your life could go easily unsaid I can't wait till you're gone leave me in peace I'm so much more you'll never see so much more you'll never be A picture framed of you and someone She knows your name but she doesn't like you Such a prety face you filled your head with F*** you glutton joke you're all the same I'm so much more you'll never see So much more you'll never be Suckin' the mother dry. It's the age old sin.
I lost an island in the ocean The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces She took the offer to be the daughter We pledge allengiance to the one who affers social graces
Please don't blame me Please don't blame me
'Cause I'm in over my head, In over my head It's for the best
I ripped up the picture The one in the kitchen I looked weak my eyes they gave it all away I don't deny it I still haven't found it I proudly wear the scars I've challenged every crutch so far
Please don't blame me Please don't blame me 'Cause I'm in over my head, in over my head It's for the best and I'm in over my head, in over my head It's for the best (x2)

I'm kinda rusted Everyone's noticed Salty and edgy It's not my fault I wear a costume to make up for broken I wear a ribbon for the problems I've solved The habit is compelling treat it like addiction the rise and fall of conviction the peace and shame of giving in I've got a name it's all I have I'm a skinny wire radio tower I believe there's something more I'm a silver jet just passing over I believe there's something more I'm covered with choices it's not becoming This way or that one I can't decide I've got a name It's all I know
I love to wake in the morning light the kind that sticks between your fngers I'm learning peace but I know I'll let it go For the thrill and the wonder of adventure... oh adventure, I'll follow you, adventure... I found a shiny one keep it in my hand Gonna send you a long long letter You will understand and you'll love me still Even though you should know better, Even though you should know better. yes yes yes Oh trouble follows like a friend in need and my compassion is my weakness (sweetness) Everyone is looking for that fine fine line between contentment and the troubled mind of genius of genius, I'll follow you I found a shiny one keep it in my hand gonna send you a long long letter You will understand and you'll love me still Even though, you should know better Even though, you should know better Evening falls on these island skies and soothes the weary into sleeping The strangers gather round the fireside While I silently long for the familiar for the familiar I'll follow you I found a shiny one keep it in my hand gonna send you a long long letter You will understand and you'll love me still Even though, you should know better Even though you should know better
Did you ever sense the way I wanna get away To do what's right inside, reveal what I hide But I would break you down I'd have to break your face Spit on all your lip, and pick apart your trip If you could see the tragedy in harmony It would blow you down Can I throw you down Bits and pieces, parts of me that you can't see It would blow you down Can I show you around Please don't let me be the one to bring you down It's really not my place, to put you in your place theres just way to few of those of you, the few I love to sit and talk to, and pull the night time through
Make believe for hours and hours You've got me surrendered to powers That patently proceed to devour Past the time prisoner to your fine wine gracefully you've captured my fallen Faithfully I've come to recall them Breathe you deep as you seep into my life line All the pain has gone away and all the words I love to say fall so easy to the page and slip on the glaze All the rules are thrown away from the games we love to play Kiss the lips from which we're made in my masquerade Make believe for hours and hours you and me, lovers like fireworks It's the only light I can see for miles
The walls are filled in here with glass My eyes are stolen with a glance And the cheap persuasion that has emptied it's perfume and left us weary has been overlooked as art I'm handed cups of tepid gleam From smiles colourless and careful My face is frozen as the winner takes his prize and all eyes turn to stare The lonelier the better and all my friends are there The click clicking of the floss A dabble here and there why I'm here and why they're there I don't know why the shaker's breaking up the peace But I heard him stare I heard him stare The lonelier the better and all my friends are there... Are they all there?
Doubt falls away Deep breath miles past the enemy That blood will stain No use to try to remedy That song he sang "La la something 'bout a better day" He'll miss her ways, wonderin' if he missed his chance again He says "Speak to me from high high places, my prayer is short but complecated I'm just waitin' for the weather to change Some days are better than others today I should have stayed under get out get out get out I gotta think it over and be done with today forever... I've got a game, you play Anna Lee and I'll play Emily That might wear thin Laughter comin' through the walls you're in, the walls you're in, the walls you're in Oh, speak to me from high high places My prayer is short but complecated I'm just waiting for the weather to change Some days are better than others Today I should have stayed under, get out, get out, get out, I gotta think it over And be done with today forever, today forever, today forever
I try to spend as much time as I can alone Although I'm not against learning a thing or two from you The wide wide sound of life gripping then letting go I listen to my voice to reassure my own I try to hold on and try to rise above and I try too hard Sometimes faith is not enough But faith's the only saving grace I face Everything's in it's place If only you could only speak the truth tell me can you tell me what that would make of you No one seems to find the secrets hid between the walls what more can I say about you not catching my fall I try to hld on and I try to rise above and I try too hard Sometimes faith is not enough... but faith's the only saving grace I face Everything's in it's place And it seems to me we hold the rope together and so easily we fall just like a feather the other blames the other for the pulling down
