All For You

A suburban man at my door
But I don't think I'll let him in
He wants discipline
Discipline, control over the way I live
He wants the best for me,
Old-school philosophy
But I can't turn my back on him
He's a part of me
He'll buy me anything
But I just need a friend

It's all for you
You've got me where you want
It's all for you
Just stop breakin' my heart

You're the blood I'm the seed
And that's all that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you
You got me oh, you got me

Jack Kerouac, K-K-K-Kerouac
On the road and in my head
I need relevance, intelligence
A new tattoo, a lot more sex
Broken families, a new enemy
And you will not make up for this
The suburban man, he wants discipline
But I just need a friend

It's all for you
You've got me where you want
It's all for you
Just stop breakin' my heart

You're the blood I'm the seed
And that's all that I need
You've got me where you want
It's all for you
You got me oh, you got me where you want

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

You
You've got me where you want
All for you
Stop breakin' my heart

You
You've got me where you want
It's all for you
Just stop breakin' my, stop breakin' my heart
You're the blood I'm the seed
And that's all that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you
Cause you've got me oh, you got me where you want

It's all for you
Just stop breakin' my, stop breakin' my heart
It's all for you
Got me, got me where you want
It's all for you
My heart
It's all for you
You got me oh, you got me where you want

Leave me alone




Do You Like It

I crawled out from the pain of yesterday
I crawled to you and
I said all the things that you said to say
Have I said enough

Do you like it yeah-e-yeah
Do you like it yeah-e-yeah

I know why you're playing these dirty games
They're killing me and
I know how you love to watch me beg
Well here I am

Do you like it yeah-e-yeah
And do you like it yeah-e-yeah
And do you like it yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, oh yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to
you

It's too little too late
Well I can't escape
So begging you please
I changed all the things that you told me to change
I'm on my knees

Do you like it yeah-e-yeah
And do you like it yeah-e-yeah
And do you like it yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you

I just wanna get out
Stuck inside of this
Waiting for something else
Waiting to exist
Can you offer me help
Help from what I've missed, I've missed, I...

Do you like it yeah-e-yeah
Do you like it yeah-e-yeah
Do you like it yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you, oh
For listening to you, oh
For listening to you, oh
For listening to you, oh




Somewhere Out There

Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away

Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I'm waiting for this sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
And all we are
Is all so far

You're falling back to me
The star that I can see, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there

Hope you remember me
when you're homesick and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I'll wait
I'm praying that you don't burn out
Or fade away
And all we are
Is all so far

You're falling back to me
The star that I can see, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there

You're falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know you're out there
Oh
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there

You're falling back to me
The star that I can see, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity, yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there

You're falling back to me
I know , I know
You're falling out of reach
I know




Innocent

Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and a guitar and a stereo
And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are all
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are all

Oh, and Gina's losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie's a war,
And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

One day you'll have to let it go
You'll have to let it go
One day you'll stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent




Made Of Steel

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think

They found the note down in your car
And it's not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard

Chorus:
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross, some sympathy
That reminds you not to bleed

They found the note down in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart, fall apart

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me

Oh, your secret's safe with me

They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up

But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
Yeah

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight




Sell My Soul

How do you feel?
How do you hate?
How do you wake up
With the smile that's on your face?
Out on the moon
If I was an astronaut
Could I get back to you?
I'm out of my head
I'm out of excuses so I'm
Staring at the bed
It's you, it's you

I hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I'd sell my soul)
And you don't know
How I feel

Losing my heart
Losing my pride
I'd burn our initials in the sun
If it would shine
I need a fresh start
I was in heaven
Until this world fell apart
Out on the run
Out on this empty space
Since all of this begun
I tried, I tried

I hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I'd sell my soul)
And you don't know
How I feel

Hold on, hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel
And nothing seems to heal
And nothing seems to work
And nothing is as beautiful
I'm old enough
To take all the blame
For all the mistakes
All the games and all the faces
I'm bleeding by myself
And I'm okay

Hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I'd sell my soul)
And you don't know
How I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel

I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know
How I feel




Not Enough

There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's nothing in between
You know the truth

Nothing left to face
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing takes your place...

When they say you're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb
Up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

There's nothing left to prove
There's nothing I wont do
There's nothing like the pain
I feel for you
Nothing left to hide
Nothing left to fear
I am always here...

When they say you're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb
Up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

What you want
What you lost
What you had
What is gone is over
What you got
What you love
What you need
What you have is real
It's not enough,
It's not enough,
It's not enough,
It's not enough
I'm sorry,
It's not enough,
It's not enough,
It's not enough,
It's not enough

When they say you're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb
Up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

It's not enough
No, it's not enough
It's not enough




Sorry

Today's a reason for living
Today's the blood from a stone
Today's the light from a candle
Helping us to find our way home
Today we carry each other
Today the past is a freak
Today is a time for forgiveness
You were never that good to me

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I'll just say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Today's tasting the honey
Today's the strike of a match
Today's the lines in the pavement
Helping us to find our way back
Today's the crosses we carry
Today's the strength that we need
Today's the hand of an angel
You were not the kind to believe

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I'll just say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Oh my day, oh my day, oh my god
Oh my day, oh my day, oh my god
Oh my day, oh my day, oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god

Today we carry each other
Today we do what we should
Today's a time for forgiving
Today I wish I could

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I'll just say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Another lie, goodbye, goodbye
Another lie, goodbye, goodbye
Another lie, goodbye, goodbye
Another lie, goodbye, bye




Bring Back The Sun

A little white house
It's everything we've
dreamed about
I wanted you to know
I'm hangin' up my ego
We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I want to be your shadow

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love

A little better high
The grass wasn't greener
I found
I wanted you to know
I dug you up a rainbow

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll ury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love

I know, I know I failed you
I hope, I hope we get to
Sunny days again
I know, I know I've failed you
I hope, I hope we get to
Sunny days again

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love

The mystery is gone
The mystery is gone
The mystery is gone
The mystery is gone

Mystery's gone
Bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love

Little white house




A Story About A Girl

Story 'bout a girl
Story 'bout the world

Suddenly, something I'm not
I'm something that you bought
Was it something I said
My friend
Little girl are you tripping on this?
Are you tripping all over it?
You better come up for air
Story about a girl
My story about the world, my

Are you waking up slowly
nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promised I'll always, always
Be there

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
Finally, you think you're alright
Then it eats you up alive
You better get used to it
A story about a girl
My story 'bout the world, my

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are

I know you're stuck inside your head
You're low, you better get used to it
I know the feeling has to end
You're strong, it sucks you in again
And you're lost, you can't make any sense
And this world, it tears you limb from limb
And hold on, you're nothing but the best

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are
