Wait now, slow down cause I'm too slow,
I stay down, one leg fell off the boat.
I wait now, I wait for the end,
And I'm spaced out, so I can't see the end.
Wait now, slow down cause I'm too slow,
I stay down, I thrown-up inside my throne.
Same town, too dumb, am I too old?
I hate how, I thrown-up inside my throne.
I wait now, I wait for the end,
Oh, but I'm spaced out, so I can't see the end. - x

I can make you, but I could break you too
I can tell you, but it won't come true
And I should love you, I wanna leave you too.
Oh, I make the call but, it just won't go through.
It's 'cause I'm boned,
Sharpened but stoned,
Very unknown,
Sheepskin and stone,
The grass where I roll.
I could make you, but I could break you too
I can tell you, but it won't come true
And I should love you, but I should leave you too.
Oh, I'd make the call but, it just won't go through.
It's 'cause I'm boned,
Sharpened but stoned,
Very unknown,
Sheepskin and stone,
The grass where I roll.
I want to be your friend, but I don't know where to begin.
Break down, weird,
Now I'm scared.
You take what you want and you get what you need,
There's love in the air but it's so hard to breathe,
You're baking the bread but you forgot to rise the yeast.
It's 'cause I'm boned,
Sharpened but stoned,
Very unknown,
Sheepskin and stone,
The grass where I roll. Where I roll.
Haven't gone out to the beach in a while,
I haven't let you braid my hair.
And I don't think that I can trust in anyone,
who seems like they don't care.
I been earning in a slow, steady wage
Just to make you feel more comfortable around
The panic button in the back of my head,
It's okay, Can I drive? I'm all chilled out.
You raised up by a cradle stained black,
Grew itself some legs one night and kidnapped.
Bathed and dressed up by a mean pack of wolves,
In suits and sundresses using all the wrong words.
The same stained sleeve, a brand new trick
It just, it just don't fit.
They don't like it when you call it a haunting.
Too excited for a candy spoiled world,
I slip in quiet through the side gate and door.
The same stained sleeve, a brand new trick
It just, it just don't fit.
They don't like it when you call it a haunting..
The same stained sleeve, a brand new trick
It just, it just don't fit.
They don't like it when you call it a haunting.
Comatose in the waiting room, pitch black walls,
windows singing white
Eyes so sore, can you see them swell? It seems that our little
heaven on earth is now hell.
There's a number painted on our pretty red door, tells me the bodies
behind it are staying warm.
They tell you you're fresh meat, but you feel like
a scar.
And I don't need your coffin, your nails, or your cross.
When I'm burning up peaceful in my seaside grave,
try to promise you'll always look back on my face.
Bedroom eyes lead woods to your traps, a net outstretched my thin
arms snapped.
Kinda funny how it's like shooting a gun, though the bullseye is
missed you know it's still so much fun.
What part don't you understand 'bout take a fucking hike, my man.
They tell you you're fresh meat, but you feel like
a scar.
And I don't need your coffin, your nails, or your cross.
And can you tell that I am so angry about...
What's the question you made,
And the response that they gave, was it sappy? Sorry?
Mucho que pensar, mucho mas que olvidar, los tiempos, recuerdos.
Brass toys on the shelf,
Things that make you melt, are you kidding?
Just take your time, cause
Now you know, I feel so hollow
When I cash out and make my time up
I like people holding hands, living life without
demands
I like waking up to for nothing at all.
I like people holding hands, living life without demands
I like waking up for you or nothing at all.
Some boys treat you like their queen, some stay inside and go unseen
I'm not either or I'm both to all extremes.
When I get home I'm gonna be alone
Wanted to act like them, hold you and be their friend.
And I don't know if it's time to go
Wanted to stay with them, it didn't feel right back then. Oh.
They don't ever understand how mean you get when
you're life's banned
to a ledger of minus, plus, regret and idle time.
Another wet night spent indoors, I'll take you out in search of
more.
Stop at the spur, kiss in the rain, coke icees.
But they don't know how little you have grown
Try not to act like them, and I'll try to stay your friend.
And I don't know if it's time to go.
You wanted to stay with them, it didn't feel right back then.
Got hard and tough to be enough,
And once in a while I pull your chain.
Well maybe I'm a psychic man, reading cards
without no hands, smiling a cry as I watch it all come true.
When the end has come like I knew it would, it feels just how I know
it should, but still my fist sized heart gets it's attack.
You remember when, when I was your little leech,
and blood just dripped off all my fucking teeth.
And I cannot yet say I wish you luck, when every part of me on you's
still stuck.
Once troubled heads now on the plane, back exit
hatch that slammed and slammed, I was thinking I wouldn't mind
falling back to earth with you.
Love's enough of that I'm sure but even if the fighting's worse, a
louder scream screams inside me for you.
When we hit the ground we would still be holding
hands. Our blood would mix, we'd be forever holding hands.
And on-lookers gasp an endless breath, it takes a sec but they get
spattered in our romance.
When your own damn words come creeping back and
haunting you like the reaper's hatch,
I kick myself when there's nothing to help or take it back.
Love's enough of that I'm sure but even if the fighting's worse, a
louder scream screams inside me for you.
When we hit the ground we would still be holding
hands. Our blood would mix, we'd be forever holding hands.
And on-lookers gasp an endless breath, it takes a sec but they get
spattered in our romance.
A never ender never has to come, come, a never ender never has to end.
Desperately in need of a white paint job, the
biggest house on the block just chips away.
Think you might be thinking right here's a selfish guy, but I know
what I'm doing so don't ask why.
'Cause I'm not scared, my body always flushes it all out and then
the damaged remedy to my head still stays.
What do you think I been looking for?
Thought you'd think better of me and get me off the floor.
Wounded kid come up followin', well come on, Honey, that ain't my
kinda scam.
Memory or Sanity, you buy one, man, you get the
other for free,
And I cannot keep shoplifting my design.
There's nothing like being out in space, enjoying the sun from the
very same place,
No movement, it soothes it, yeah and the case is closed.
The only sleep you're getting these days is dreaming around in your
unknown place,
always wearing those shades you never had.
Lemme show you just this one silly trick,
I can hate myself while I love you to no end.
Fell on my face and broke my teeth on the bathroom floor,
Thought my shit was lost 'till I really lost it all.
Lost it all. Lost it all. Lost it all. Lost it
all.
Oh I haven't lost it all. I haven't lost it all. I haven't lost it
all.
Oh I haven't lost at all.
