My Hero
See You

Walking After You
New Way Home


Doll

You know in all of the time that we've shared
I've never been so scared

Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there

I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared

Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll 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

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

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 there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench


Hey, Johnny Park!

Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colors
Everything fades in time, it's true

Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll 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

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll never know, am I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood

Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you

It's impossible, I can't let it out
You'll never know, am I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood


My Poor Brain

Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain


Wind Up

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I heard about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confession, it's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind but I don't mind because I'll catch up

I want a song that's 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 we're sharing a cell?
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize that I get shy and I choke up

I want a song that's indelible like Manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania
Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet, take the beating until
I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say?

I want a song that's indelible like Manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up


Up In Arms

The rain is here and you, my dear,
Are still my friend
It's 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 don't know how this love could end
My lonely heart it falls apart again
For you to mend

I was the one who left you
Always coming back I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again



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
He's ordinary

Don't 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
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary



See You

These notes are marked return to sender
i'll save this letter for myself
i wish you only knew
how good it is to see you

see you.

These steps i take dont get me anywhere
I'm gettin further from myself
one thing is always true
how good it is to see you

see you.



Enough Space

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lily
The best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be enough space



February Stars

intro/chorus

hanging on
here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on

verse 1

even though
i watched you come and go
how was i to know
you'd still show

one day ill have enough to get more
ill wait to hear your final call
hanging on

hanging on
here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on

verse 2

even though
passed the time alone
soon we're so unknown
it heals the soul

you'll ask if the walls are building higher
we'll light the shadows of them all
i'd stand but they're much too usefull
and i fall
outro
FEBRUARY STARS!
FLOATING IN THE DARK!
TEMPORARY STARS!
FEBRUARY STARS!
(repeat 4 times)



Everlong

Hello
I've 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
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

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 I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

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 I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

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

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang



Walking After You

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud

Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back


New Way Home

Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long

I'm 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
I'll try to manage you
But lately it's all I ever do

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know these things must bore you
But I can't find another way

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me
When I try to run away

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
