Doll

you know in all of the time that weve shared
Ive never been so scared
doll me up in my bad luck
Ill meet you there

I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasnt quite prepared
doll me up in my bad luck
Ill meet you there

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
dont wanna be your monkey wrench
one more indecent accident
Id rather leave than suffer this
Ill never be your monkey wrench

all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends
now and then Ill try to bend
under pressure
wind up snapping in the end

one in ten
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 theres one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now Im free

dont wanna be your monkey wrench

Hey Johnny Park!

come and Ill take you under
this beautiful bruises colors
everything fades in time its true
wish that I had another
stab at the undercover
was it a change in mind for you

its impossible
I cant let it out
youll never know
am I selling you out
sit and watch
your every mood

your eyes still remind me of
angels that hover above
eyes that can change from blind to blue

now that Ive found my reward
Id throw it away long before
Id share a piece of mine with you

My Poor Brain

real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
thats where our heads are
my head and your heart

this is a black out
dont let it go to waste
this is a black out
I want to detonate

when you are so far
Im falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam my radar

sometimes I feel Im getting stuck
between the handshake and the f*ck

youve got me on guard
Ive got my head start
my head and your heart
the same in the stars

sometimes I wish that I could change
I cant save you from my poor brain
o.k.

Wind Up

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand youve been delt
spare me confession
its confession you sell
maybe Ill fall behind
but I dont mind
because Ill catch up

I want a song thats 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 youll realize
that I get shy and I choke up

what is wrong with this animal
Im terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that Ill never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
Ill bite the bullet
take the beating
until I take it back anyway
what was I supposed to say?

Up In Arms

the rain is here
and you my dear
are still my friend
its 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 dont know how this love could end
my lonely heart
it falls apart for you to mend

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
Hes ordinary

Dont 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
Hes ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero the one thats on



There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Hes ordinary

See You

these notes are marked return to sender
Ill save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew how good it is to see you

these steps I take dont get me anywhere
Im getting further from myself
one this is always true
how good it is to see you

Im done resenting you
you represented me so well
and this I promise you
how could I end up in the hands of someone else

Enough Space

I was waiting for something
maybe flying machines
thats when I found Lily
the best Id ever seen
put her on the ceiling
try to maker he my own
people line up to see
but there never seems to be enough space

February Stars

Im hanging on
here until Im gone
Im right where I belong
just hanging on
even though I watched you come and go
how was I to know
youd steal the show?

one day Ill have enough to gamble
Ill wait to hear your final call
and bet it all
Im hanging on
here until Im gone
right where I belong
just hanging on

even though I pass this time alone
somewhere so unknown
it heals the soul
you ask for walls
Ill build them higher
well lie in the shadows of them all
Id stand but theyre much to tall
and I fall

february stars
floating in the dark
temporary scars
february stars

Everlong


Hello
Ive 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
Im over my head out of her head she sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing Ill ever ask of you
Youve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know youve always been
Out of your head out of my head I sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again



The only thing Ill ever ask of you
Youve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing Ill ever ask of you
Youve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Walking After You

tonight Im tangled in my blanket of clouds
dreaming aloud
things just wont do without you
matter of fact
Im on your back

if you walk out on me
Im walking after you

if youd accept surrender
Ill give up some more
werent you adored
I cannot be without you
matter of fact
Im on your back

if you walk out on me
Im walking after you

another heart cracked
in two
Im on your back

New Way Home

have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long so long
Im 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
Ill try to manage you
but lately its all I ever do

I felt like this on my way home
Im not scared
I pass the boats in the kingdome
Im not scared

Ill never tell you the secret Im holding
I know these things must bore you
but I cant find another way
Ill never tell you the secrets Im holding
I love this leash that holds me
when I try to run away
