Nerve

Oh, time hasn't passed fast enough,
I'm starting to run out of air
and I know you're calling my bluff,
'cause I know you never play fair
so I'll try and send you away,
but you'll always just reappear
but of all the things I could say,
one thing we both know is clear:
You've got some Nerve
To come around here
So undeterred,
So Cavalier
Oh I wonder night after night
how far I'm willing to go
so I send you further away
and you just keep crawling back home
but of all the things I should say
one thing I know hasn't changed:
You've got some nerve
to keep coming back here
so undeterred
so cavalier
You've got some nerve
You've got some nerve
nerve
nerve
You've got some nerve
to keep coming back here
you've got some nerve

What About Me?
03:31
|

What about me,
where should I go?
everyone else knows but me
and what about you,
how do you do
everything so easily?
Look at me, a casualty of being in the way
I'm dead weight taking up space
I never figured out how to prove I'm a human just like you
so look around and if you've found me with my head up in the clouds
won't you help me to come back down?
I never feel quite right when I'm on the inside looking out
So if you could spare the time
won't you help me to rest my mind?
I need some direction please!
What about me,
where should I go?
everyone else knows but me
and what about you,
how do you do
all of this so easily?
Another day, another dime that I'll be throwing in the well
just to waste on a wish for myself
it never paid out much, but it still costs less than giving up!
and when they give me another dime
I swear I won't waste it this time
but I can't hold onto my change!
so what about me,
where should I go?
everyone else knows but me
and what about you,
how do you do
all of this effortlessly?
I'm a fish out of water
round hole for a square peg
so what about me,
where should I go?
everyone else knows but me
What about me
where should I go?
everyone else knows but me
and what about you
how do you do
all of this so easily?
so easily
so easily
so easily

Getting Late
02:22
|
|||
|
I got you looking back
and you caught a case of deep regret
and we both agree it's getting darker out there
I found a shelter from the world,
but you don't seem to want my help
and we both agree it's getting darker out there
It's getting late and the sun's going down
and I can't wait any longer now
I never passed a test before,
with all the answers written on the back
and we both can see that something's out of place here
I lost my only memory,
of sunlight creeping through my door
and we both can see that something's out of place here
It's getting late and the sun's going down
and I can't wait any longer now
I want to throw it all away
I want to throw it all away
what difference does it make
what difference does it make to me?
I know it's getting late
I know that somethings out of place
The sun's going down
and I won't wait any longer now

After Your Fire
02:33

Oh dear,
where were you when it got dark here?
after your fire died out
after your fire died out
oh, so this is how it's gonna be?
I suppose it wouldn't matter much to me if you go
and just leave me alone
now that your fire's died out
now that you fire's died out
oh dear,
why don't you clean up your mess here?
now that you've burned it all down
now that you've burned it all down
oh, so this is how it's gonna be?
I suppose it wouldn't matter much to me if you go
and just leave us alone
now that your fire's died out
now that you fire's died out
How will we ever feel warm again?
now that our flag has been torn again
I hope it was worth all the wars you lost to your friends
now that your fire's died out
now that your fire's died out
oh dear,
where will you go? you can't stay here
now that your fire's died out
now that your fire's died out
now that your fire's died out
now that your fire's died out

Stick To It
03:31
|
|||
|
Everybody's got a point of view
when they wanna tell me what to do
I just wanna tell them all to go to hell!
brave enough to go against the grain
dumb enough to try and shift the blame
smarter than the ones who claim they wish you well
I don't need someone to try and prove me wrong
I've got it all under control
Nothing like a freedom to protect
just another reason I'll reject
everybody's lame attempts to make me change my mind!
how am I the only one who sees?
searching through the forest to find some trees
go ahead and call it a reach, I'll still defy you!
I don't need someone to try and prove me wrong
I've got it all under control
I won't trust the ones who tell me that I'm wrong
I'll never let them take control
happily so confidently incorrect
close my eyes and shake my head to drown you out
just when you thought that I would finally cast a doubt
I'll reject reality and spit the truth back out
I'll never figure it out
my head is stuck in the sand
and I'm never coming out!
I don't need someone to try and prove me wrong
I've got it all under control
I won't trust the ones who tell me that I'm wrong
I'll never let them take control
I'm stubborn and dumb!
I'm stubborn and dumb!
I'm stubborn and dumb!
So stubborn and dumb, I think I should run

Dark Matter
05:39
|
|||
|
I float alone in outer space
I found a wrench and threw it in the system
we said farewell and parted ways
this empty ocean growing larger by the day
and all that matters now
is finding my way home
I live in darkness now
wherever I roam
I found a reason deep within
I can't the feeling but I just can't stop it
lost in a foreign galaxy
the spinning vortex sends me out beyond your reach
and all that matters now
is finding my way home
I live in darkness now
wherever I roam
But if I find the light
if I live to see the day
I will be the guide
I will lead the way
and all that matters now
is finding my way home
I live in darkness now
everywhere I roam
dark matter swallows everything
I watched the world collapse and fall around me
so this is what we must deserve
for all the warnings that were never seen or heard
and all that matters now
is building our new home
we live in darkness now
everywhere we go
But if I find the light
if I live to see the day
I will be the guide
I will lead the way
I will lead the way
I will lead the way
