like a bee buzzing around your head
You’ve got something that will descend and learn
To sting you in the mouth or the eye or the nose
That somethings coming in it says it knows more than you
Like a burning distant fear that won’t give up
Like a breathing restless voice makes you Stand up
Says I’m going to harm you
Before everyone gives in they all say
Oh I’m made of grit I was always meant to stay
Before everyone gives in they beg for themselves to whoever will listen at that time
Didn’t I do all right?
Oh I
All right
I mean I botched some things
Mistakes and errors
Positives are good but they come and go
I want to know I want to fly I want to die on my Own terms
I want to give I want to live then you never know what burns your bridges
Till they’re burning down
You’re bridges till they’re lying in the ground
Before everyone gives in they all say
Oh I’m made of grit I was always meant to stay
Before everyone gives in they beg for themselves to whoever will listen at that time
Didn’t I do all right?

You are relieved of your obligations
No one is directing you
Now what are you going to do
Your life is in your own hands
Your life is in your own hands
You know it always was
You were to afraid to go
Your life is in your own hands
Your life is in your own hands
You know it always was
You were to afraid to go
Let go

She’s a fan of the clowns man
But I’m a food for school
Tell me why I write
Why must I fight
For my life
Because I’m fool
But I’m a food for school
Tell me why I write
Why must I fight
For my life
Because I’m a fool for you
There’s no one else to blame
After all it’s my name
World apart and my humor falls flat
Right on the spot, imagine that
I’m unfunny
She’s a fan of the clowns man
And I’m a food for school
Tell me why I write
Why must I fight
For my life
Cause I’m a fool
There’s no one else to blame
After all it’s my name
World apart and my humor falls flat
Right on the spot, imagine that
I’m unfunny

Coming home late and my eyes are tired
I did what I did now my anger is expired
We are all just happening and I
Wish we were traveling together ...
But I'm on a different path
And you're a pretty gun in a bath
With the chord for the fan attached to the
Liar
Be brave and be you yeah (rule us) Chorus
Allow me to be clueless
Cause I do it so well
I do it so well
Walking down an empty street
Feel pavement under my feet
I'm all alone now still trying to find where all the ends meet in time. They come together ...

I’m seeing you less and less now
I’m thinking of you more and more
I’m tearing up inside
I’m opening my arms wide
Now I haven’t been honest with you
I haven’t been telling the truth
I’ve been keeping things from you
Hopefully it will bring some good times
Why you are so far away I don’t understand
Why you are so far away I can’t comprehend
Why I have to see in you this different light
One where you wave good bye for the very last time
Now I haven’t been honest with you
I haven’t been telling the truth
I’ve been keeping things from you
Hopefully it will bring some good times
Why you are so far away I don’t understand
Why you are so far away I can’t comprehend
Why I have to see in you this different light
One where you wave good bye for the very last time

Boo hoo
I know what you’re thinking when you’re moving through your day
Making that morning disappear just go away
It’s afternoon what have you done? Afternoon
I’ll see you soon
It’s already gone the moon and the stars up for the evening
Time to dream and sleep away all the work you did today
Was it something that you loved or are you killing time

City Of Mine

If you’ve Got the inclination
I’d be willing to bet on the nation you’re creating
Different types of situations that will tempt themselves
If you’re willing to talk about different kinds of scenarios
I’d be willing to give in to your vision of simplicity
Well we’re all worth something in the end so put a penny on the table for me
And if your’e only asking for my skin my blood my bones my hair my teeth
Well thats a fare price for this city of yours
thats fare price for this city of yours
Thats a fare for this city of yours
This city of mine
This city of mine
Well thats a fair price for this city of yours
Thats a fair price for this city of yours
This city of mine

Wind is blowing
Wind is blowing real cool
Everything’s coming out young and fun
Everything’s feeling new
Fresh and blue
Fresh and blue
Everyone’s leaving
Everyone’s grieving
About the rest of their time
What’s it this time?
Oh of their time
Everyone is leaving
Everyone’s deceiving
Everyone’s given
Everyone’s forgiven
Everyones dying
Everyones writing their future in the sand
Let’s give them a hand.
Let’s give them a hand
I’ll give’m a hand

Before it all Ends

Got an anger deep down
it swells and races my good graces to the point
where I can't face up to the fact that I'm down
'when everything around me is beautiful
want to be a positive force in this life
but I can't do that if I can't shine
there's water on the wick
looks like I'm going to be up to my old tricks.
Truth of the matter
is darkness at the center can be relieved x2
can be taken out
be taken around
and shown the door
Got my own way of seeing things
as do we all
want to make sure I'm not just trying to stall
cause the lies that we sell to ourselves are the guards that will
keep up these walls. keep up these walls
I will make sure they fall
before it all ends
they will keep up these walls
keep up these walls I will make sure they fall before it all ends
before it all ends
