Bad Dreams 02:08
so many legends are dying, let’s be the new ones, I heard your eyes look, even better in the dark let’s get the chemicals, out of our brains, I demand to know, what it’s like, to be in love, I want to know I am feeling suicidal, although my heart, may just be, playing games, doubting myself, getting cynical, if the voices get too loud, I’ll just scream animal noise are these just bad dreams? can I just wake up now? are these just bad dreams? can I just wake up now? can I just wake up now?

Honey 03:28
criminal queen, in a paper magazine, I deserve more, than this plastic baby doll, plastic cheeks, are harder to kiss, so cold and lifeless how bout’ you chew me out, will you take me seriously now? you’re just like everybody else, I thought you were different You make me sick just like honey, you’re not as sweet as i thought, maybe sweet at first, but then again, not and if you think she looks bad, you should see the guy she just left alone on his knees You call the shots, but you’re not in control, you bought the bullets, but you don’t know how Give me the gun, and I’ll show you, what it’s for i am beautiful color and, you’re a shade of green, you sing the words, but you don’t know what it means to be a joke, you make me feel just she did You make me sick just like honey, you’re not as sweet as i thought, maybe sweet at first, but then again, not

Paint 04:37
you’ve been exposed to the medium, and you’re wearing the paint, you think you’re creating order, but your just creating paint don’t tell people or officers, the things that they paint, and don’t give photographs to children, photographs without paint you’re all just people and philosophers, you’re building up paint, you’re not people or philosophers, your just people who want to paint (and good luck with that) well go get a job, go get some fame, how about you go get it wrong, how about you go get some paint and the world says ooo look at the blood on you a round of applause, to television news, some movie star is pregnant, and someone's head just blew this has been insightful, it’s really a treat, but how about this, this is what I have to say once you see, the root of the problem, nobody knows what they're doing, any more than you do this is why we paint this is why we paint this is why we paint

Phantom 03:01
You said you were scared, that you could to lose me, You don’t seem so scared anymore swinging chains, crying and screaming, have you lost the will to live? all of the freaky faces, all of the names, all the places that escape me, the places with your face So you’re a ghost? So you’re a friend? have you come to haunt us, or be with me again? cause i all I know about people, who come and go, I am tired of being invisible at the party with your friends, at my party with your friends, we’re talking less and less, i ruin everything i guess I just want to be able, I just want to be boring, you said, you said, do I have to explain? So you’re a ghost? So you’re a friend? have you come to haunt us, or be with me again? cause i all I know about people, who come and go, I am sick of being invisible at the party with your friends, at my party with your friends, we’re talking less and less, i ruin everything i guess

Sugar 03:40
Did you know that i needed you, you’ll know when you find me, breathing heavy in the dark, you’re lips taste sweet that’s for sure, no i don’t think, i can talk about it, just stay right here, i need that right now i'm cold enough, keep me warm i'm cold enough Smoke in my lungs, gasoline in my nose, missing pieces from the wreak, are safely in my pocket no i don’t think I can talk about it just stay right here, i don’t wanna die, no i don’t wanna die, without you here i need you to hold me with your hands, just to feel the texture of your touch, i need that right now i'm cold enough, keep me warm i'm cold enough but I’m afraid to touch you, but I'm afraid to hold you, but I'm afraid just to be near you, I’m afraid that I’ll hurt you Did you know that i needed you, you’ll know when you find me, breathing heavy in the dark, you’re lips taste sweet that’s for sure

i should be scared of you these walls they talk to me, oh i should be scared, i should be scared of you I never thought I’d feel this way, don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love can I let my heart out? can I let someone in? don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love if you kissed me, would our lives begin to bleed? don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love I never thought I’d feel this way, don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love the high I was riding on, came to a bitter end, and as you get older, you heart begins to bend you makes me young, you make me feel young, that I think about you so much, yeah that’s pretty young I never thought I’d feel this way, don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love Can I let my heart out? can I let someone in? don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love if you touched me, would i start to bleed? don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love I never thought I’d feel this way, don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love I am making a word, for those dying from the loneliness, and it rhymes with your name

Baby 02:24
baby, i feel like i was, like i was asleep baby, it’ll never change me, i won’t let this, tear you from me baby, don’t leave me like this, i’ll be a dead man, cursed to be baby, you are so perfect, oh please don’t change, don’t change a thing and baby, before i knew you love wasn’t real, nothing was real and baby, don’t let me down, i’m putting a lot of faith in you baby, i feel like i was, i feel like i was, like i was asleep

Don’t hold back, I’m not going to, use it against you and you can talk to me ironically, if you feel like you’re dying and you can forget, about what they said, or what they don’t, what they won’t come on and wake up, the world says wake up, from the teenage daydream and if you kill yourself, they’ll put you on channel 5 news, everyone will laugh, everyone will be laughing at you kings and queens, of the punching bags, bloody nose, hide in darker clothes and if you’re hurt, you’ll hurt someone else, now they’ll never hurt me, now they’ll never hurt again And I can’t get rid of, that voice in my head, telling me it’s over, telling me to start again it’s all a symptom, it’s all a medicine, it’s all something, you wouldn’t understand come on and wake up, the world says wake up, from the teenage daydream I just don’t see, I just don’t see how I have much of choice come on and wake up, the world says wake up, from the teenage daydream

Hospital 05:08
Here I sit, alone, in the middle of the kitchen floor your blood is still in the sink, I need it to stay there a little longer I cried into the arm of the chair, I stay there, my arm falls asleep the house is empty, but creaks in the walls, make me think you’re upstairs and on my side of the bed, in my chair, my back contorts, I am awake my friends, I let you down again, please forgive me, I’m not healthy I clench my teeth, And they shake, What if I grab the glass, And it breaks? I am afraid of facing, who I am, Through the mirror, In your eyes and I don’t wanna hold hands, how can I convince myself? that I can be warm, I can live without your love Contrary to my signals, my body language, I didn’t want you to leave Oh, I just want to lie you, down on the table again I’m still not where I wanna be, Not in an ambulance, but a hospital, I check you in and there they built machines, so you could breathe, and it all felt complete when the line went flat, no alarms went off, no cause for concern This is my nightmare, this is the truth, clawing at the cliff, what do I have to lose? I am not asleep, I am very aware of what is happening I want this all to stop
