No pain
No gain, alright
You better make a move if you're playing tonight
But you ain't gonna get too far
Hanging on a thread is who you are
And when you feel your voice leave now
You will feel the words come tumbling out
And it takes all you have
Learn to play the game and it ain't so bad
Pull up to your house that night
Park your car and you walk inside
And you fall on your bed so fast
Blink one time and the sun blinks back
And when you get up you feel down
Something small is trying to bring you down
So play the game all day long
Go to bed at night wondering what's wrong

Planets

Hey man
Take a look up at the sky
Planets are eating themselves alive
Swallowing all of their moons whole
Stars burst and leave behind a black hole
Hey man
Don't you know we're here on borrowed time
All you can do is try to do what's right
Say man
Take a look up at the sky
Planets are eating themselves alive

The Dark

You're taking hits now
Rolling off punches
Don't you go quit now
I'll be a witness
Tell everybody
You couldn't take it
Go ahead and watch me
you know I'll do it
I don't care cause you'll be fine
I think I know what you need and I'll help you find it
I can show you the dark man
I ain't scared
Go it alone and you won't find your way out
Gotta be tough now
Gotta be stronger
Show em your grit now
Driven by hunger
What's gonna push you
Get you to use it
Flying right by you
Only cause you let it
I don't care cause you'll be fine
I think I know what you need and I'll help you find it
I can show you the dark man
I ain't scared
Go it alone and you won't find your way out
I learned to see in the dark but now it's all I ever see anymore
and it's just all my life I've been waiting for something to come
and knock me off my feet
It's not easy but sooner or later you'll learn what it takes to be free of all of this

I saw a stray dog in my yard today
I tried to feed it
But it just ran awayI saw a stray dog in my yard today
I tried to feed it
But it just ran away
Watch out
There's a monster up ahead
Waiting in the dark under your bed
And it wants to get in your head
I saw a stray dog in my yard today
I tried to feed it
But it just ran awayI saw a stray dog in my yard today

Killer

Hold up
I think you're onto me
Why am I obsessed with dumbest things
I guess it's kinda hard to stay on track when you're stuck in the same place
I don't want it
I don't need it
I just want you to get out of my head
Ah fuck that
You're a stone-cold killer
Cutting to the chase cause you can't stand filler
And I think I had a change of heart when I saw what you really were
I don't want it
I don't need it
I just want you to get out of my head

Falling Behind
01:34
|
|||
|
You know I feel like a fool sometimes
It comes and it goes but it stays close by
I guess they all say it's part of life
You take a few hits but you let some by
But sometimes it feels like I'm falling behind
Running in the mud while the rest stay dry
I think for the most part I've done right
But sometimes it feels like I'm falling behind

Rachel's running for the train
She's always running late
She's got a test today
She'll study on the way
I told her she'll be fine
Rachel worked on Saturday
Earning every tip that she made
She got tired when it got late
She smiled anyway
I told her she'll be fine
Rachel sent a text my way
It said are you still awake
I asked if we could change
I'm scared we're stuck this way
I told her, "Okay fine
I'll spill a secret of mine
But only just this time
Promise you'll keep it"
I'm spilling

Why are you upset
Is it something that he said
Are you over it yet
baby, he ain't worth it
Yeah you might think I don't know nothing
But I think that I know some
Well I don't know where you're going
But I know where you are from
So what are you doing
Why'd you stop moving
Are you full of regret
It hit so different than it did in your head
How long have you carried it
I guess waiting for you to make your move
Is wearing my patience thin
And you know I know you know what to do to fix the way it's been
So what are you waiting for
You could have so much more

Waiting
I'm still waiting
Yeah I'm waiting all the time
Waiting for something just around the goddamn corner
I am chasing it
I'm chasing it
Cause chasing's what I do
Chasing after something that means nothing
When I hold it up to you
And I know we're gonna slow it down
And you know I won't let you hit the ground
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
In these circles now
My head's gonna spin until it's falling off
Baby you've been saying
Always saying
Saying it'll be okay
There's a sun still hanging behind those clouds
It's just another rainy day
And you know you keep my feet on the ground
And you know I don't wanna let you down

Deep Down Under Water
02:07
|

|
Out on the horizon the sun is hanging pretty low
But deep down under water they forgot the light so long ago
And they live on
And I guess that just goes to show
That they don't need
No sunlight telling them wear to go
See there's this darkness in your head that never quite leaves
It holds you down and bleeds you dry of all of your strength
It whispers in your ear that you're this terrible thing
It knocks you down and breaks your bones and poisons your veins
In the middle of the ocean you will sometimes get lost
But you don't just drop your anchor and wait for storms to come and toss
Your body a way
No you push on through the night until you fin your way
Back to land where you knock you're safe
And when that feeling's creeping up your spine in the night
You will push it down and hold it there with all of your might
It's telling you you're week but you are showing it otherwise
Yeah you can prove it's wrong again time after time
