We leave in the morning, I know you're gonna be there We still aren't speaking and it feels like such a shame, But despite your unfaltering apathy that's aimed at me I can't help the feeling that it's going to be a good day So I start the day feeling not a bad emotion I don't even feel bad that I don't even feel bad And I could say sorry, I know you'd enjoy the notion But at the end of the day you're still gonna be mad And I don't care that you don't care that I don't care And believe me, I so wish that I could But right now the sun is burning through the atmosphere and even you can't stop the day from being good today, so Fake a winning golden globe smile And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while And for the sake of everyone around, you keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue And I'll keep this up until I'm completely over you 'cause I think it's impossible to just be cool I love you or hate you, there's nothing in between with me You and I never can be friends as a rule So I pull your hair feeling not a bad emotion I don't even feel bad that I don't even feel bad And I could say sorry, I know you'd enjoy the notion But at the end of the day you're still gonna be mad And I don't care that you don't care that I don't care And believe me, I so wish that I could But right now the sun is burning through the atmosphere and even you can't stop the day from being good today, so Fake a winning golden globe smile And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while And for the sake of everyone around you, keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue All of this time and I haven't said a word I kept my back bent and my head down It was all about you, never anything new I can't believe how long that I was bound to have you around And can you do me the favor of keeping this between you and me? You and I have, shall we say, "a colorful past" The next chance we get, I swear to you we'll talk it through, The last thing I want to do is make this last, and Fake a winning golden globe smile And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while And for the sake of everyone around you, keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue Fake at least a skeleton's smile And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while And wake up, I don't want to date you, 'cause I swear to God I hate you, you were never any fun

Liar 03:25
Take me to bed or maybe take me to bedlam Who ever thought it'd be So tough to hang tough? I've got a fever My head is on fire Maybe none of that's true And I just don't want to get up Take me aside Or maybe to the asylum Can I still call it crazy if I know that it's wrong? And if I do it again But then immediately rescind Am I still bound to spend My life here, however long? I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't Know which ones I said to who Born of the flame but then burned by the fire We were doomed from the start, Maybe I don't want to be liar And I take nobody's word Because from all that I've heard Nobody keeps it real long or holds it high anyway But if you tell me your side Then I'll decide for myself The truth is somewhere between Whatever you and I say I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't Know which ones I told to who Born of the flame but then burned by the fire We were doomed from the start Maybe I don't want to be liar Only a pig thinks that everyone's filth And only a dog thinks that everyone bites And only a thief thinks that everyone steals And only a liar thinks that everyone lies And only your best friend can swear it's the truth Holding your hand looking dead in your eyes And only a fool will believe every word And only a liar thinks that everyone lies I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't know which ones I said to who And after so long without saying a word, I don't think I can tell you the truth I've done it before and I'll do it again, but I suspect that you already knew Adam and Eve can't have known the entire World was doomed from the start, maybe I don't want to be a liar

You're the face that sunk a thousand ships With sarcastic little quips, Your devils sense of humor somehow gave me a large tumor on my face You're the girl that guided me from hell Beatrice with Pavlov's bell, Salivating like a dog, i will be yours and before long you'll be my girl But now that you mention it, Let's get back to the question Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous I know it's strange to think about, and don't give me to harsh a judgement But I think I like it But now that you mention it, Let's get back to the question Why do I try? (Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous) Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous (I know it's strange to think about, and don't give me to harsh a judgement) But I think I like it

They wrote a story about us a long time ago It's out of print but you might still find it in an old store It's gonna cost you a few petty dollars 'cause it's rare And the library doesn't carry it anymore I heard a song on the radio I hadn't heard before I only caught the end coming home from work this afternoon It was an oldie but a goodie and it had a familiar choice of words And it was about me and you But Solomon, whoa-oh-whoa, did you really say that? Or is it only something you read somewhere? The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore The world's heard everything twice So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before There's nothing new Under the sun The ugly truth Is still a smoking gun And what a grandiose but humble piece of theatre we live It's entertaining but a bit longwinded for most I'll just keep passive-aggressively torturing her I'm neither ready nor willing to give up the ghost Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that? Or is it only something you read somewhere? The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore The world's heard everything, everything twice So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before There's nothing new (An easy lesson, but much deeper rooted than that) Under the sun (I can't forgive that two timing son of a gun) The ugly truth (she meant the world to me, she meant the world to me) Is still a smoking gun (but then again she meant the world to everyone) Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that? Or is it only something you read somewhere? Because if that's the case, then I dare you to say it again with your own paper and ink But you can't, can you now? The funny thing isn't how You're not original, it's that you can't be Because it's all been said before, even I'd be hardpressed to ignore All the things that are right in front of me There's nothing new Under the sun The ugly truth Is still a smoking gun Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that? Or is it only something you read somewhere? The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore The world's heard everything, everything twice So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before There's nothing new Under the sun The ugly truth Is still a smoking gun An easy lesson, but much deeper rooted than that I can't forgive that two timing son of a gun She meant the world to me, she meant the world to me But then again she meant the world to everyone

Chapter 21 03:44
I couldn't tell you why I act this way some rotten part of me deep inside Tells me to start fights, 'cause art means suffering And if it isn't hurting, it isn't justified I never told you what you meant to me, Least not in a way you'd ever understand. I made it hard for you, 'cause it was hard for me It was never hard, though, still, to hold your hand. You meant everything Now that it's over, you don't have much to say Time takes it's toll, but it heals all wounds So what does that mean? Does it get better or worse with age? Will I ever find a heart to crawl into? You were the start and end of each and every day And I wouldn't have slept if you hadn't talked me through I've messed up a lot of things in all my lonesome life What a fool I was, though, to have messed up you Oh, You meant everything We haven't talked in months but every part of me Is still devoted to every part of you I thought you left because you never once loved me But after all this time I know that isn't true I made you feel so guilty About everything you'd say I think the best thing I could do for you, now, is go away Movies you didn't like and Songs that I couldn't sing If I could have that back again, I would give anything You meant everything
