If I Said

If I said that I could, I didn't think I actually would,
Find a reason for this taste that provided me with the love of this place,
It was the feeling that I had, it made me feel so bad,
Found out what I need for me, is that alright or do you need your receipt?
Yeah...or do you need your receipt?
If I said that I could,
I didn't think you'd actually hear me,
Was the feeling from my heart,
That's why we fell apart.
And you can storm out this day,
But tell me how much would you wage,
That I cut it on my own,
Get on the road and I'll pass on the thrown
And I'll say, "Well thank you for your time,
But now the time that's come is mine,"
I found out what I need for me,
Is that alright or do you need your receipt,
Yeah...you're going to need your receipt.
If I said that I could,
I didn't think you'd actually hear me,
Was the feeling from my heart,
That's why we fell apart,
And it's combed from my soul, innate just to let me roam,
For the destiny in sight, c'mon Mikey make it right!
If I said that I could, I didn't think I actually would,
Find a reason for this taste that provided me with the love of this place,
And I'll say, "Well thank you for your time, but now the time that's come is mine,"
I found out what I need for me,
Is that alright or do you need your receipt? Yeah...

You'll Know

I've got this shakin' that's just what's in my blood,
Skin on arrival keep it clean for my touch,
She'll hear my pager and my heel click rush,
But this ain't sugar babe it's what's in the stuff
And I said
Gutter rats work for you
Stormed out shelters bring in business for you
And you'll know my mind is faded,
And you'll show it's time to say it,
So when you see me comin' through now go on and fake it,
Cause I'm so elated
Ms. Charlie's sugar stands for what I have paid,
But Tina's hours lack my youthful sustain,
A white horse galloped and I took to its saddle,
Its owner told me that his barn is always open for cattle
And I said, huh
I've got this shakin' that's just what's in my blood,
Skin on arrival with my busy man rush,
I can't protect you from what you may see,
But whatever it is, it's got a control on me
And I
See these rats work for you,
Stormed out shelters set their doors open for two,
Gutter rats control and terrorize you,
Their debt is paid and their blood is on you
And you'll know my mind is faded,
And you'll show it's time to say it,
So when you see me comin' through now go on and fake it,
Cause I'm so elated
Cause I'm so elated

Message to Send

I'll be there in morning sufferin'
Sittin' down on that weekend,
Shots taken with a drop overwhelming,
To hear the message that we send,
I saw an opening formin,'
And I suddenly jumped in,
And I'll be there if you're looking for me,
Just knock before you come in
I've seen a man get behind a garbage can and make a crowd look in disbelief,
I've seen a premadonna earn his dollar with a Macbook and his parents cheese,
I saw an opening formin',
And I recently jumped in,
And I'll be there if you're lookin' for me,
Just knock before you come in
Oh my my, I don't mind these ignorant times,
All my life I have strived to get up above the lines,
So I can break free, all you see is these decadent lies
I'm so sore, I need so much more,
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor
Oh my my, I don't mind these ignorant times,
All my life I have strived to get up above the lines,
So I can break free, all you see is these decadent lies
I'm so sore, I need so much more,
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor
I gotta mop up the floor

Our rent's been paid, our fridge is full,
Weather...It's not like the last time
So don't be shy, embrace your life
You should...feel like the last time
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
Remember when you cried yourself to sleep,
It wasn't the first time
We pulled on through when times were cold and blue
It wasn't the first time
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
So get your pen
I don't half ass for just taking a knack from your tears,
So forget your sad songs and take a good look in the mirror
And I'll lay my sail away
And you won't sail today
So keep your blacklist mail astray
I thank you all for your praise
When you're fairing well intent to sell yourself
It's not like the last time
So don't be shy when praise comes by you should
Feel like the last time
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
We beat all the bad times, we're saving the next ones from fear
So get your pen
I don't half ass for just taking a knack from your tears,
So forget your sad songs and take a good look in the mirror
And I'll lay my sail away
And you won't sail today
So keep your blacklist mail astray
And I'll lay my sail away
And you won't sail today
So keep your blacklist mail astray
And I'll lay my sail away
And you won't sail today
So keep your blacklist mail astray
I thank you all for your praise

Strand and Main

Kneel before me, and I'll tap tap until the day is gone
and soon unlonely
and I'll tap tap until your mind in won
Just call me honey and I'll tap tap until that time will come,
And I'll catch the one that's first to get me off!
She'll be lonely when I've tap tapped all the other ones,
And she'll be sorry when she finds out she ain't receiving one,
But just keep it sunny while I take it out with those useless ones,
And I'll catch the one that's first to get me off!
Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
She'll be lonely when the night recedes and her day is gone,
And we'll be lonely when our pride collapses and the thrill is gone,
So don't go away or I'll shut the door with these empty hands,
And you'll lose the one that's first to turn you on!
Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
I'm Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
Standing on the corner, waiting for the lyft man on Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh
Strand and Main, Strand and Main,
Strand and Main, Strand and Main, oh

Re-Up
03:39

Re-Up for you think you've settled about
And about a feeling that I thought you'd know,
The weak may say I'm mourning,
But I don't even have that to show
Re-Up for you've got the stars tonight,
You shot one down now the rest are fallin',
So give me your best advice and I'll breathe with the weeks in the mornings
Don't need you now, didn't need you then,
You see my crowd, you try to breathe in,
See me for what you could have had but lost,
And the hook lies unbaited so go back to shore,
The weak may say I'm mournin,'
But I don't even open their door
See the light,
You feel the light,
I see your wits have gone two ways,
So give me your best advice and I'll breathe with the weeks in the mornings
Don't need you now, didn't need you then,
You see my crowd, you try to jump in,
Mosh pit the sound and let it ring out,
You see us now, shall we take bow?
Shall we take a bow?

I was floatin' like a feather as though I was a boat that's lost out at sea
Kindlin' a re-up remand with but what we could turn out to be
And i know why, we will fly
The universe could be worse we get over our pain
I know what we'll do with our petty pocket change
You'll see the sign
How could I wonder
You'll see the sign
You'll see the sign
How could I wonder
You'll see the sign
You'll see that boy with his hands and that grand master plan and
You'll be the boy with those hands and he can't grasp that plan
And I know why, we'll all fly
The universe could be worse, we get over our pain
I know what we'll do with this petty pocket change and...
You'll see the sign
How could I wonder
You'll see the sign
You'll see the sign
How could I wonder
You'll see the sign
You'll see
You'll see the sign
You'll see
You'll see the sign
You'll see
You'll see the sign
You'll see
You'll see the sign

Further Away
05:42
|

Unplug your ears and open your eyes,
The stars are so misaligned tonight,
Desolate world with no compromise,
It takes desperation to see the light
Unplug your ears and open your eyes,
The stars are so misaligned tonight,
Desolate world with no compromise,
It takes desperation to see the light
It's not what they're thinkin'
Or what they may say
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
The system has failed and they're all enslaved ,
Lack of progression end of the day,
Divide and conquer results in hate,
Confusion and fear keeps them in place
It's not what they're thinkin'
Or what they may say
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's not what they're thinkin'
Or what they may say
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
It's Further Away
