01. DOLL

You know in all the time that we shared
I've never been so scared
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there

I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
Doll me up in my bad luck
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there


02. MONKEY WRENCH

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Temper
Temper
Temper

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than
I could fit into my head I still remember
Every single word you said and all the
Shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
Fall in, fall out
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
Fall in, fall out
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
Fall in, fall out
Don't want to be your monkey wrench


03. HEY, JOHNNY PARK!

Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruises colors
Everything fades in time it's true

Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll never know, am I selling you out
Sit and I watch, your every mood
Mood

Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll never know, am I selling you out
Sit and I watch, your every mood
Mood
Mood
Mood

Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll never know, am I selling you out
Sit and I watch, your every mood
Mood
Mood
Mood


04. MY POOR BRAIN

Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head and your heart
The same in the stars

This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can save you from my poor brain
Ok


05. WIND UP

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you been dealt
Spare me confession it's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind but I don't Mind Because I'll catch up

I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
Will you be happy when were sharing a cell
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize that I get shy and choke up

I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania
Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet take the beating until
I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say

I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up


06. UP IN ARMS

The Rain is here
And you my dear
Are still my friend
It's true the two of us are back
As one again

I was the one who left you
Always coming back, I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again

The Rain is here
And you my dear
Are still my friend
It's true the two of us are back
As one again

I was the one who left you
Always coming back, I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again

Together now, I don't know how
This love could end
My lonely heart falls apart
For you to mend

I was the one who left you
Always coming back, I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again

I was the one who left you
Always coming back, I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again

I was the one who left you
Always coming back, I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again


07. MY HERO

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary


08. SEE YOU

These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew

Good it is to see you
See you
See you

These steps I take dont get me anywhere
I'm gettin further from myself
One thing is always true

Good it is to see you
See you
See you

I'm done resenting you, you represented me so well
And this I promise you, how could I end up in the hands of someone else

These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew

Good it is to see you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you


09. ENOUGH SPACE

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lilly
The best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems

To be enough
Space, space
Space, space

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lilly
The best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems

To be enough
Space, space
Space, space
Space, space
Space, space

Space, space
Space, space
Space
Space
Space
Space


10. FEBRUARY STARS

Hangin' on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hangin' on

Even though
I watched you come and go
How was I to know
You'd steal the show

One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
Bet it all

Hangin' on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hangin' on

Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul

You ask for walls
I'll build them higher
We'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall

February Stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

February Stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

February Stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February
Stars


11. EVERLONG

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you

If every thing could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say you when
She sang

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you

If every thing could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say you when
She sang

And I wonder

If every thing could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say you when


12. WALKING AFTER YOU

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just wont do without you
Matter of fact
Oooooh, I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oooooh, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me 
I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you
Matter of fact
Oooooh, I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oooooh, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

Now the heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back
Oooooh

I cannot be without you
Matter of fact
Oooooh, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back
Oooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh


13. NEW WAY HOME

Have you found your way around the down and out
I know, it must seem long, so long
I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
Head down, always moving on, and on, and on

I never heard this warning
Another early morning takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you
But lately, it's all I ever do

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know these things must bore you
I can't find another way

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know this leash that holds me
When I try to run away

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the kingdom
I'm not scared

I'm not scared

I'm not scared
