Strange

Somewhere far away
Lost but unafraid
I hear you sing your song
Waiting on no one
A game I never won
Just playing to pass the time
And I don't know why I sleep all day
Try to push these thoughts away
Running from the only thing I love
And I don't know why I cry all day
Try to keep my mind at bay
Wishing I would feel like somethings changed
Isn't life so strange
Isn't life so strange
Some things never change
Isn't life so strange
Longing for the one
I wanted to love
I thought I’d change my ways
Wanting nothing else
Than to be myself
I wish I’d understand
And I don’t know why I hesitate
Always longing to escape
Wishing that someone would rescue me
And I can’t begin to contemplate
All the things I love to hate
Funny how my world won’t ever change
Isn’t life so strange
Isn’t life so strange
Some things never change
Isn’t life so strange
No my world won’t change
No my world won’t change
No my world won’t change
No my world won’t change
Isn’t life so strange
Isn’t life so strange
Isn’t life so strange
Isn’t life so strange

Catch me cus I’m falling
Down to Earth there’s nothing
To cover it up
I don’t have enough
Right now
Right now
Take me with you today
There is nothing left to say
Couldn’t believe you
When you told me
We’re all just running around
I see you now like I never have before
And I feel you now like I never have before
Hold on to the edge of
Our bond past the reaches
I am so glad
You’re the best I could have had
For a mom
Oh mom
Take me with you today
There is nothing left to say
Couldn’t believe you
When you told me
We’re all just running around
I see you now like I never have before
And I feel you now like I never have before
Take a look and I know you’ll see
That there’s not much left in me
When I look at your eyes they always scream
Take a look and I know you’ll see
That there’s not much left in me
When I look at your eyes they always scream

Perception
03:15

You know, they got you barking on
What now could you be harping on
Some shit you saw on cable news
That's got you hotter than a burning fuse
You know, you hit the big 2-0
You're old enough to know it all
It's got you feeling all this righteous rage
So go and put in on your Facebook page
Doo Doo Doo (preach) to the choir
Doo Doo Doo (words) filled with ire
Doo Doo Doo (do) you sleep sound
Doo Doo Doo
(knowing all your thoughts are doing nothing but echoing)
Round and round the little bubble of your social sphere
Heard by no one but you and like-minded peers
And now you think you've found objective truth
And all the other little bubbles think they've found it too
If it don't fit in your perception
I guess that makes it another noise you can ignore
Or else you'll use it as a weapon
But if you cannot weaponize you’ll just deny
Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny
You know the truth don’t pay the bills
We need our drama and our fleeting thrills
Got us hanging in anticipation
For the day’s next big sensation
These days don’t even have to try
To distort and oversimplify
It’s market tested and it’s been prepared
And all you have to do is like and share
Doo doo, can’t turn it off
Doo doo, can’t get enough
Doo doo, do you sleep sound
Doo doo doo
Knowing all your thoughts are doing nothing but echoing
Round and round the little bubble of your social sphere
Heard by no one but you and like-minded peers
And now you think you've found objective truth
And all the other little bubbles think they've found it too
If it don't fit in your perception
I guess that makes it another noise you can ignore
Or else you'll use it as a weapon
But if you cannot weaponize you’ll just deny
Deny, deny
Deny, deny
Deny, deny

So What
03:01
|
|||
You can’t let go
Of what you know
And find when
You’re all alone
It means the world
To no one else
But you and I
So what
So what
I feel the weight above
Come crashing down
And pinch my lungs
And I start to drown
It takes just
One broken chord
To feel alone
So what
So what
So what are you saying to me
So what are you saying to me
So what
So what
So what
So what

Broken Bones
04:27
|

I ain’t got nobody
To call my own
All I have is
These broken bones
My woman left me
Wouldn’t pick up the phone
My broken heart and
These broken bones
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones
I spent all my money
My hard earned pay
Trying to keep you
And make you stay
There’s nothing to do
No gift I can buy
That will keep you around here
And make you mine
Maybe someday you’ll realize
Everyone’s got pain behind their eyes
Until then I just can’t stop
Thinking of how you gave me
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones
Broken bones
Broken bones
All I have is
These broken bones

What You Deserve
04:10

Burning my tongue
Just to feel numb
Running away from my best friends
Best friends
Best friends
Best friends
Seeing my flaws
Wishing I was strong
Wanting much more than myself
Myself
Myself
Myself
Don’t be so scared
Of what you never shared
I’ll leave you alone
It’s what you deserve
The most
I said I feel stuck
Trying my luck
Breaking your heart one last time
Last time
Last time
Last time
Don’t be so scared
Of what you never shared
I’ll leave you alone
It’s what you deserve
The most
You said I’m dumb
We’re in love
But hurt you again I won’t
I won’t
I won’t
I won’t
Don’t be so scared
Of what you never shared
I’ll leave you alone
It’s what we both deserve
And don’t be so scared
Of what you never shared
I’ll leave you alone
It’s what we both deserve
The most

By My Side
03:23

You go running in the field
And you go swimming in the stream
These summer days will always be
What we need to know we’re free
My best friend with me always by my side
So much love to give and none to hide
I know you haven’t left my home
All the hours that we roam
You’re still my friend I hope it shows
You know me like nobody knows
Dad would take us to the park
Stay out long past it was dark
You’ve been in my life for so long
I’ll miss you long after you’re gone
My best friend with me always by my side
So much love to give and none to hide
I know you haven’t left my home
All the hours that we roam
You’re still my friend I hope it shows
You know me like nobody knows
You know me like nobody knows
You know me like nobody knows

Box Shaped Hole
02:51

Well, I don’t wanna do it like the way that it’s done
With a middle-class mortgage and a wife and a son
Brain dead job and a college degree
And I want to get it moving but I can’t get on my feet
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
Well, I don’t wanna sing it like the way that it’s sung
Like the cute barista who was out of a job
She said you’re a cutie would you want to make a movie
We could move to California and discover who we are
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
Oh, hey can’t you see
All I really wanted was to be free
Oh, hey can’t you see
All I really wanted was to be free
Only where I’m at
Dragged kicking screaming down the beaten path
Only where I’m at
Dragged kicking screaming down the beaten path, and I said
Well you don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole
You don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole
You don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole
You don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole
Ay, Ay
Ay, Ay
Ay, Ay
Well, you don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole
You don’t wanna follow me down that road
Spend your whole damn life in a box-shaped hole

Drifting
03:41
|

Constantly unsure
Misguided thoughts and actions
Don’t make me follow your
Lost lines and stupid actions
There’s just one thing on my mind
Guess it’s time we see you’re
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
Say your stupid words
I can never get enough
Wanting to observe
All the ways to see distorted
There’s just one thing on my mind
Guess it’s time we see you’re
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
Drifting and floating
Drifting and floating away
Away from me
