Between Your Band and The Other Band (Tigers Jaw Cover) 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I'm missing all my friends Losing touch Maybe I love you You're too much Will I see you again? Yeah probably not I'm serious Raise confidence Hoping showing confidence is gonna make you stay Well every time you talk I love everything you say Everything we try to start there's something in the way I'll pass it off Well it cost dollars to write this song For gas money and a ride home Well I thought it through And i'm better now Such a long time Step down Knowing that you're so close only hangs me up again Suffice to say the price I pay won't matter in the end This is something I can't even talk about with friends I'll pass it off I'm never gonna wait When the sun comes up Well I can never worry about you enough Everything I say is obvious I'm nothing good I'm death to us Well I get caught up in these routines The time I get home The way I sing And these songs I write They aren't me I'm terrible I'm in between

Drinkin' coca coca cola. Drink enough and I don't know ya. I'll quit if you do. I'll quit everything good for you. And, I'm trying. Yeah, I'm trying. But the world's not sweet enough. Your love's not sweet enough. And I'm not stopping 'Til all my teeth are rotten. Drinkin' coca coca cola. Drink enough and I don't know ya. I'm weak from sugar and caffeine and I can't sleep. So how the hell I am supposed to hold you, hold you back? And, I'm trying. Yeah, I'm trying. But the world's not sweet enough. Your love's not sweet enough. And I'm not stopping 'Til all my teeth are rotten. And, I'm dying. Yeah, I'm dying.

I am alive I am alive and that is the best that i can do you told me you lied you swore you were mine i took you back a thousand times talking a town you've been around if he is the man you want the go but tonight we'll leave all our lovers behind and try to live a quiet life my love is dressing me like a clown you are an ass a snake in the grass and he seeps from out your pores and baby it's time to pay for my crime nothing i say can make you mine you either sing it in key or run into me i can fake it as good as you but tonight we'll leave all our spirit songs we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn my love is dressing me like a clown but tonight we'll leave all our lovers behind and try to live a quiet life margot dress me like a clown tonight we'll drink into an early grave we'll laugh, we will not be safe someone has dressed us all like clowns darling it's sin where do i begin? putting the contact lenses in you say the lights scurry like mice reflect in the streets and your blue eyes out of the roof wait to grow up turn me around and lock me up baby you are an ass a snake in the grass vanity oozes out your pores Oooh, ooooh Oooh, ooooh

Boys Don't Cry (The Cure Cover) 02:59
lyrics

I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I've said too much Been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try and Laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness Plead with you But I know that It's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already Gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just Keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

People II: The Reckoning (Andrew Jackson Jihad Cover) 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Nobody knows everything We know this to be true Everything is difficult except what's in front of you But it's complicated even under your nose Bullshit math equations Your highs and your lows And your manic depression It comes and it goes Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts And you're in fight or flight mode How's the world so small when the world is so large? And what made the world Could I please speak to who's in charge? Everything is real But it's also just as fake From your daughter's birthday party To your grandmother's wake And your bipolar illness It comes and it goes Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts And you're in fight or flight mode I've tried to know which words to sing so many times I tried to know which chord to play And I tried to make it rhyme I tried to find the key that all good songs are in And I tried to find that notes to make that great, resounding din But there's a bad man in everyone No matter who we are There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts Child pornographers and cannibals, and politicians too There's someone in your head waiting to fucking strangle you So here's to you Mrs. Robinson People love you more Oh nevermind In fucking fact Mrs. Robinson The world won't care whether you live or die In fucking fact Mrs. Robinson They probably hate to see your stupid face So here's to you Mrs. Robinson You live in an unforgiving place
