Nobody does what they're s'possed to these days
Its a disease of the times a reprehensible plague
And you only gets if you combines it with threats,
You try a wink and a smile and you will never get paid
Everyone's got their own problems don't try to weigh my burden down
Why do you drink your own poison?
You can always turn yourself around
No matter what you give you get back more
A point of view can twist us
The way I see it what is true is just a flash in the pan
Friction gives you blisters
Some things you know you just can't plan
Being hard will crack you that's for sure!
Turn your head as you walk by
Cause God forbid you catch my eye
TV's got us so afraid
Go out and lock yourself away
Just remember....
Nobody dies if you look in their eyes
There's no prize for living life all alone
And every tiny child knows the power of smiles you know it never gets old
Excuse me sermon preacher,
A fear of dying in the only thing that keeps 'em around
We're all our own keepers,
Let no one in don't let yourself hang out
Grow up stop living like there's more
You don't even have to see things my way
Just watch yourself or you'll just get in your way (repeat x3)
You don't even have to see things my way
You don’t even have to see

Well I lie so ugly and I work so hard and I
Choose my moments and I play my cards and I,
Work it up work it out, break it down again.
Well I show no mercy and I bite down hard and I
Get on my knees and I praise my lord and I
Fill it up fill it out, break it down again
But I put it down to this faithless town again
Yes I put it down to this loveless town again
It's pushing and trying truth and opinions yeah well
It never worked that way for me
I can lie to myself and keep on trying you know
These chances don’t just grow on trees
But she keeps asking the wrong kinds of questions and I’m
Trying to find myself a new direction well I
Wish I could do it like the people on TV
You gotta love those people
I wanna be those people
It's not cool to be happy
So tell me what’s it all about
You put your right leg in, you take your left leg out
I should’ve said something
So let’s do another take
Like those people
Hey now work it out
Turn it all around tell me what’s it all about?
I wanna be those (repeat x4)
I wanna be those people now
I wanna be those people now
I wanna be those people now
I wanna be those……
I wanna be those people now
I wanna be those… woah
I wanna be those people now
I wanna be those… woah
Hey now work it out
Turn it all around tell me what’s it all about?
I wanna be those (repeat x4)

No Way Back

Well we’re always told it’s hard
To watch somebody fall apart
And right now I can’t breathe
How could I do this to me?
Guess we knew it from the start
There’s always risk of broken hearts
Sorry I can’t speak
How could you wait for me?
No I can’t speak please don’t wait for me
Chorus
Because there’s no way back what’s said is said what’s done is done
Stop sifting through this wreck, there’s nothing of worth left
So take your sins and run
Stop sifting through this wreck, there’s nothing of worth left
So take your sins and run
We’re all twisting in the dark
I can’t follow so don’t even start
We both don’t have to bleed
How could you do this to me?
I’m still slipping on my words
It’s Catherine wheels and mocking birds
A shallow ocean warm and free
I just can’t cross that sea
No I can’t speak please don’t wait for me
Chorus
Bridge
There’s a silence on my part again and a searing in my heart
Would you care to hang me up again among those other works of art?
Well we’re always told it’s hard
To watch somebody fall apart
And right now I can’t breathe
How could I do this to me?
Guess we knew it from the start
There’s always risk of broken hearts
Sorry I can’t speak
How could you wait for me?
No I can’t speak so please don’t wait for me
Please don’t wait for me (repeat)
