Red Herring 02:45
You cut your face and changed your name but nothing's new Cause underneath that flawless skin you’re coarse and cruel Won’t ever let someone get close enough to tell How deceitful you can be still, you wear it well Red Herring Red Herring You’re doing my head in I’m struggling to breathe I fell for you before and it almost killed me Fool me once shame on you for spinning such a web of lies Fool me twice shame on me for getting tangled in your vice Cause you don’t care I know you never will I wish you’d just stop coming round here Red Herring Red Herring I’m sick of your mind games I don’t have the time To play innuendo Don’t you ever get tired of playing your role Fool me once shame on you, for making me feel like a vice Fool me twice shame on me for getting so lost in your lies Cause you don’t care I know you never will I wish that you’d stop coming round here Red Herring Red Herring I know what you’re doing I get it life ain’t free I don’t give a fuck if you fool the whole world but you’re done fooling me All you do is take until there’s nothing more You’re the biggest mistake l ever made Red Herring Red Herring Red Herring you had me fooled Red Herring Red Herring I thought maybe you cared Red Herring Red Herring But now I know that you never will

Hole 03:16
I was trying be someone Trying to have a better life But every time I turn my back you’re there And ready to fight Saddest thing is nothing Affects me anymore Somewhere along the way I got numb to it Where I’m not that sure But I don’t really care no more I don’t really care no more There’s a hole in my house Yeah it’s getting kinda deep And I don’t mean to worry but (I seem to have lost my feet) Still I stand up real straight Even though I’m not that tall There’s a hole in my house and I’m not sure what to do anymore I remember being a younger man I thought that I knew everything Was always ready to fight Out on the road somewhere I got lost Now I can’t find piece of mind, there’s no turning back this time There’s a hole in my house Yeah it’s getting kinda deep And I don’t mean to worry but my doubts have settled in Still I stand up real straight Even though I’m not that tall There’a a hole in my house All the writings on the wall Yeah I wish I could leave But I wouldn’t know where to There’s a hole in my house and I Swear that I’m sinking right through
3.
I’m not dead yet I’m just stuck here in my bed I haven’t moved for days It’s not that I don’t wanna be Outside with my friends But why would I go out when they’re all inside my head That beat kicks in, man I just wanna react Sometimes it hits so hard I think I might have a heart attack Anyway the wind blows, it blows I don’t wanna be your sink stone And weigh you down Let’s leave this town What you say, we could get away I read a lot guess You could say I’m well educated Still I’ve had interviews cut The couple times I almost made it They say I’m too negative To call it like it is but Coating it with sugar Only clogs up the arteries Anyway the wind blows it blows I don’t wanna be your sink stone And weigh you down Let’s leave this town What you say, let’s get away The drugs don’t work they just make it worse Wanted a limousine, but they sent me a hurse I guess atleast I get to stretch out my legs In the beginning I said that I’m not dead yet Anyway the wind blows it blows I don’t wanna be your sink stone Or weigh you down Let’s leave this town What you say, let’s get away
4.
Blue 03:53
My feet they barely keep me On the ground And my heads a mess Infested with too many sounds A letter packed with secrets From me to you Show a side more serious I think that I’m delirious and blue If it’s all in my head Why can’t I forget Why can’t I shake it, shake it If it’s all meant to be Why can’t I get out of this bed You left me in The street lights on the corner Light your face I love the way You wore your hair today I had such hopes and dreams Lately it’s like they Break at the seams I made some decent choices Some I blew If it’s all in my head Why can’t I forget Why can’t I shake it, shake it If it’s all meant to be Why can’t I get out of this bed You left me in
5.
Who Are You 03:10
I don’t care what you say It’s all gonna change Nothing here’s meant to last forever anyway No need for trading names We’re much to vein Let’s not kill time with conversation What ya say Who Are You Who Are You Who Are You Who Are You Cause I’m just skin covering bones Hiding who I really am from everyone That gets within range or a little to close And keep me on my toes I’m just skin and bones Who Are You Who Are You Who Are You Who Are You
6.
Everybody wants something Nothing’s free from what I’ve seen I’m not trying to be negative Just calling it the way it is Malicious is an understatement With a little hate on top When will this madness stop Cause I don’t wanna be a part of it No I would rather be alone On the street without a home Tell me where your heart is, tell me why your heart is so Cold to the touch just like a stone Build me up then let me go Tell me where your heart is, tell me why your heart is so cold All I see are herds of bodies What happened to the mind A dozen for a dime I’ve seen it all a thousand times You keep us all under thumb Then say we’re not the same Like we bleed from different veins When’s enough enough, enough, enough No I would rather be alone On the street without a home Tell me where your heart is, tell me why your heart is Cold to the touch just like a stone Build me up then let me go Tell me where your heart is, maybe someone threw it Right to the bottom of the sea Cause you show no sympathy so it can’t be in your chest Yeah your hearts at the bottom of the sea Guess you think you might look weak If you wore it in your chest No I would rather be alone On the street without a home Tell me where your heart is, tell me why your heart is Cold to the touch just like a stone Build me up then let me go Tell me where your heart is, I think maybe someone threw it Right to the bottom of the sea Cause you show no sympathy so it can’t be in your chest Yeah your hearts at the bottom of the sea Guess you think you might look weak If you wore it in your chest Is my heart at the bottom of the sea cause I show no sympathy maybe I couldn’t care less I Guess my hearts at the bottom of the sea and I think i might look weak if i wore it in my chest
7.
Bones That fit like glue Everybody turns their head when you’re around, they want a bit of you But I know You only want one thing Then you hitch yourself to the first ride, right out of here I’m left broke again I told myself i won’t be that easily fooled But you’ve got them bones Skin, the bones inside your skin Oh your skin have me second guessing It’s enough to turn me to a sinner Or leave me out at sea to sink Lower and I should know better But you’ve got them bones All your pieces fit together
8.
The River 03:39
I went back to the river to find myself Instead I almost drown When a wave of emotion I’d bottled up came crashing down My hearts black don’t ask about my head (bout my head) You used me up and left me here for dead But you should never underestimate me I’m like a dog I’ll use teeth if I have too So I’ll see you in hell baby I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes I saw through your disguise Two stories to each tale maybe but You can hold onto all of your alibis I’m taking back my life You like to use words like choke holds, I thought that you should know, I thought that you should know (I let you go) The moment I found out the person you are, I raged war so rest assured That I’ll see you in hell baby I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes I saw through your disguise m Every story has two tales maybe But you can hold onto all of your alibis I’m taking back my life But don’t you ever underestimate me I’m like a dog I use teeth if I have too Yeah I’ll see you in hell baby I bet you couldn’t tell by the look in my eyes that I knew you’d lied Our stories I won’t tell maybe But You can hold onto all of your alibis I’m taking back my life
9.
At first the words that you said got into my head and fucked with me Like a needle pulling thread sometimes we reap what we sew You have my heart inside your hands with all my wants and all my plans And when you kick me to the dirt is when it occurs to me I love the way you hurt me I love the way you lie I love to feel belittled every time I try for you I’m a sucker for your punishment I think it gets me off So hit me with your best shot Cause I love the way you hurt me Like a puppet on a string I’ll do anything for you Try to water into wine just to keep you by my side you’re that cool and I’m a fool Cause I love the way you hurt me I love the way you lie I love to feel belittled every time I try for you I’m a sucker for your punishment I think it gets me off So hit me with your best shot Cause I love the way you hurt me
10.
I wish that we could communicate Just a little bit better than we do somedays I hear you grinding your teeth just say whatever you need say Did I clip your wings or don’t you wanna fly away I’m so tired of being myself Tell me if I was someone else Would you put us back in the mess that we’re in (or go back to the beginning) I know I’m too stubborn to change Maybe I should walked away Do you think you’d be better without me ? Two different mindsets set up on a serving plate We eat till we’re full then spit it back in each other’s face I hope you know I’m sorry for every stupid little fight I wish I could take back every tear I’ve ever made you cry But I know you’re tired of being yourself Tell me if you were someone else Would you put us back in the mess that we’re in (or go back to the beginning) And I know you’re too stubborn to change Maybe you should walked away Sometimes I think you’d be better off without me Did I clip your wings or don’t you wanna fly away Did I clip your wings or don’t you wanna fly away We know we’re tired of being ourselves Maybe if we were someone else We’d figure how we got in the mess that we’re in (and go back to the beginning). We know we’re too stubborn to change Some things always stay the same Did I clip your wings or don’t you wanna fly away
