My Best Friend

my best friend didn't know my name
only referred to me as whole
my best friend gave me lots of grief
when we tried to but them in a hearse
[hook]
found my best friend on the roadside
he was reading his last rights to me
found my friend on the roadside
and he didn't have any regrets
---
my best friend didn't know my name
they broke my jaw and i cried
my best friend fucked up the handshake
knowing i would be alright
[hook]
found my best friend in the skyline
she was looking so beautiful
found my best friend in the skyline
they fell a part at dawn
---
[hook]
found my best friend on the roadside
he was reading his last rights to me
found my friend on the roadside
and he didn't have any regrets

Belle of The Ball
02:08

|

don't care about me too long
don't care about me too long
i'll fade away with the sun and the shade so
don't care about me too long
don't leave me stranded out here
don't leave me stranded out here
i'll dig my grave with a bucket and spade so
just leave me stranded out here
[hook]
cause she's the belle of the ball
dancing in hell
and i hold the key to her cell
---
i'll clean my nose on your sleave
smash holes into guitars
i'll pull my guts out, one by one but
that might be a bit much
could grab a paper and pen
i could count to nine
i'll try anything that gets me to sing but
don't care about me too long
don't care about me too long
don't care about me too long
i'll fade away with the sun and the shade so
don't care about me too long
[hook]
cause she's the belle of the ball
dancing in hell
and i hold the key to her cell
yes i said
she's the belle of the ball
dancing in hell
and i hold the key to her cell

Eat

i'm rusty
and i've lost my shoes
i'll walk down from my pedestal
and be beside you
i'm frozen
and i can't quite move
i'll walk down from my pedestal
and be beside you
i'll walk down from my pedestal
and be beside you

La Vie en rose
03:30
|
|
||
hold me close and hold me fast
the magic spell you cast
this is la vie en rose
when you kiss me heaven sighs
and though close my eyes
i see la vie en rose
when you press me to your heart
i'm in a world a part
a world where roses bloom
and when you speak
angels sing from above
everyday words seem to
turn into love songs
give your heart and soul to me
and life will always be
la vie en rose
and when you speak
angels sing from above
everyday words seem to
turn into love songs

Pile
02:48
|
|

the first one's free
open wide
parentheses
leave me behind
red or white
i'll just fight
but no one asked me to
[hook]
who am i meant to pick up after
i'll pick up a pile of shit first
i hope they pick me to
and i said
who am i meant to pick up after
i'll pick up a pile of shit first
and i hope they pick me to
---
the curse on me
i'll confide
hypothesis
leave me behind
day or night
i'll just fight
but they begged me not to
[hook]
who am i meant to pick up after
i'll pick up a pile of shit first
and i hope they pick me to
and i said
who am i meant to pick up after
i'll pick up a pile of shit first
and i hope they pick me to

A Monster (All The Same)
02:07
|
|
||
some time a few years ago
i was reaping what i know
i was covered by snow
and questioning everything
horse race dances, late to the classes
i still don't wear my glasses
i got smothered in bed
by another day on my back
[hook]
so i'm callous, careless, cruel
and i'm fragile, frail, foolish
all the same
---
i'm telling all my friends
i'm terrible at lying
and i've broken my bones
on bistro bars and big ideas
toothless rashes heads in ashes
i burned it just to tell ya
i'm building it back
for the seventh time or eighth or nineth
[hook]
so i'm callous, careless, cruel
and i'm fragile, frail, foolish
all the same
---
i was losing my ground
and i've lost it more than once before
i won't be sticking around
and why?
[hook]
cause i'm callous, careless, cruel
and i'm fragile, frail, foolish
all the same

American Hero
02:48
|
|
||
these days are perfection cause i'm
missing phone calls and retracing my steps
i got a bag to go
cause god knows i earnt it with my head inside my pillow
these days i write notes to myself
love letters and hateful words for the road
[hook]
i convinced myself
that i'd be in texas or michigan or somewhere
that's bad for my health
going back on word made
time after time
complaining that everythings lost
when there was never anything to find
---
these days i'm breaking in old shoes
tapdancing and walking
whatevers inbetween
i thought i had to know
everything about everyone and anyone
whose ever felt alone
these day i go out in the rain
stare at people and places that are far away
[hook]
i convinced myself
that i'd be in texas or michigan or somewhere
that's bad for my health
going back on word made
time after time
complaining that everythings lost
when there was never anything to find
---
these day i rest my head against walls
dance in circles and be my own
belle of the ball
[hook]
i convinced myself
that i'd be in texas or michigan or somewhere
that's bad for my health
going back on word made
time after time
complaining that everythings lost
when there was never anything to find
when there was never anything to find
when there was never anything to find
when there was never anything to find
when there was never anything to find
when there was never anything to find

eian:
yeah like, um
again i guess i really need to say thank you
for listening to me rambling
yeah like what you had said
we're like strangers a day ago,
friendly strangers, etc.
yeah, like
i don't know if you have,
i don't know whats your experience
um
i guess
i always had this impression
he would prefer to have a boy
than having me
and when i was in my darkest place
she's like saying this sentence
it just hit me
she regretted, or she felt so bad
that should could ask me or get my permission
if i wanted to born to this world

A Hard Hat and A Pen
07:43
|
|
||
she could ask some stupid questions
with her had hat and a pen
and my friends could look back at me, knowing
say it back to me
there's a favourite person's person
not a promise nor a plan
the words come right at me singing
say it back to me
what's the point in flying
when there's no one left to fly for
everyday is my favourite concept
like
i'd try to go out
with a straight face
if i'm to laugh i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my straight face
if i'm to laugh i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my straight face
if i'm to laugh i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my straight face
she could ask some stupid questions
with her had hat and a pen
and my friends could look back at me, knowing
say it back to me
say it back to me
every night is my favourite concept
like
i try to go out
with a blank face
if i'm to live i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my blank face
if i'm to live i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my blank face
if i'm to live i'll do it right but
as of right now
i'm holding my blank face

Romeo's Cliché
03:36
|
|
||
i'm impressed with myself
i'm drawing pictures on
bathroom windows
i'll give them a name
i'll give them some shame to hide
steam room suicide
feeling, feeling neutralised
reading, reading through the eyes
it's raining
[hook]
there's a place down in ohio
waiting for me
---
romeo, what have you done to me
that's not me
romeo, that was my favourite song
and i got it all wrong
[hook]
there's a place down in ohio
waiting for me
---
i'll jump out a window if i had to
i'll jump out a window if i had to
i'll jump out a window if i had to
it's alright if i catch myself too
