ANTHEM PART 3
Everything that we've tried
We'll keep waking up to that light
We'll see rising of a new tide
We are starting up a new life
When your head is hanging too low
When your heart is about to explode
You can make it anywhere, go
There's no fear when you get here
Give up that ghost
When your dreams just seem like they're dead
Like embalming deep in your head
When your job has gone to deep shit
If you've fallen off of that list
When you're clenching both of your fists
Like you aimed and then you just missed
Let the record show that you're fixed
Don't you give up now, just get up and resist
This time, I won't be complacent
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope shit ends here tonight
And after you had the time of your life
Flat-lined and lead towards the light
You'll despair the wreckage and find
No-one gave a f*ck that you died
This time, I won't be complacent
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope, shit ends here tonight
It's my high, it's my mind
All made up, it's alright
If I fall on some nails
If I win or set sail
I won't fail
I won't fail
DANCE WITH ME
(When I teach masturbation, I'm always just like, "have fun with it")
Don't think maybe she won't refuse
She knows everything that I think
That girl, prettiest I could lose
My game's shittiest it could be
I've been waiting around to lose
So dumb, trying to make believe
You're mine, what are you gonna do
Come here, do you want to come dance with me?
Tellin' your friends, you know you want to (dance with me)
Shaking those hips like the devil's got you (dance with me)
Waiting all night, 'cause now I want you (dance with me)
Eyeing that chance, here we go I got you (dance with me)
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
This song is making me beg for more
These drinks breaking up old routines
My mind, pushing me out the door
So f*cked, wishing I weren't so green
Me, you, won't you just fall in love
Like me, or am I just too naive?
Tonight, it's getting a bit too rough
But now, really wanting to make her (scream)
Tellin' your friends, you know you want to (dance with me)
Shaking those hips like the devil's got you (dance with me)
Waiting all night, 'cause now I want you (dance with me)
Eyeing that chance, here we go I got you (dance with me)
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Dance with me, come dance with me
(Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me)
Dance with me, come dance with me
(Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me)
Been doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
Olé, olé, olé, olé
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
You beat my heart from miles away
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
You spin me like a hurricane
Yeah, we're doing it all night long
You like to play your little games
Yeah, we're playing them all night long
I'd like to have you every day, every way
And do it all night long
FELL IN LOVE
Late night, feelin' kinda lonely
Drive home, no one's waitin' for me
I don't miss the days before I fell for you
Last time was fun but overrated
White lines, fun but then you hate it
Cruel hearts and nobody could break it
Sad but true
And honestly (what was that?)
I needed you (what was that?)
You needed me, it's crazy
Do you remember the time when we first met?
You were at a party with your ex
I said, "Hello" then I got drunk
Do you remember the time we fell in love?
Do you remember the night when you came over?
Playin' songs, layin' on my shoulder
We made out 'til the sun came up
Do you remember the time, remember the time we fell in love?
Na-na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na-na
How could I ever forget layin' in your bed
Having sex all night, it's f*cking with my head
Now we can never pretend that we can only be friends
We should do it again and again
And honestly (what was that?)
I needed you (what was that?)
You needed me, it's crazy
Do you remember the time when we first met?
You were at a party with your ex
I said, "Hello" then I got drunk
Do you remember the time we fell in love?
Do you remember the night when you came over?
Playin' songs, layin' on my shoulder
We made out 'til the sun came up
Do you remember the time, remember the time we fell in love?
(Na-na-na)
(Na-na-na)
Do you remember the time?
(Na-na-na)
Do you remember the time
(Na-na-na) remember the time we fell in love?
(Na-na-na) how could I ever forget layin' in your bed
(Na-na-na) having sex all night? It's f*cking with my head
(Na-na-na) now we can never pretend that we can only be friends
Remember the time we fell in love?
TERRIFIED
I can't feel my body
And nothing else here matters at all
The shapes become electric
Innocence and magic for all
I'm lifting past the skyline
And no one seems to notice my fall
In and out the timelines
Now I see the truth of it all
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified
Laughter from the children
Streets are made of silence for you
I will reach the summit to hold you in my arms with a view
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified-fide-fide-fide-fide
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
Welcome (oh-oh), terrified
ONE MORE TIME
Strangers, from strangers into brothers
From brothers into strangers once again
We saw the whole world
But I couldn't see the meaning
I couldn't even recognize my friends
Older, but nothing's any different
Right now feels the same, I wonder why
I wish they told us
It shouldn't take a sickness
Or airplanes falling out the sky
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
I don't wanna wait to do this one more time
One more time
One more
One more time
One more time
I miss you, took time but I admit it
It still hurts even after all these years
And I know that next time, ain't always gonna happen
I gotta say, "I love you" while we're here
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
I don't wanna wait to do this one more time
One more time
One more
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more
One more time
One more time
One more time
I miss you
MORE THAN YOU KNOW
Your bed is the last battlefield, a nuclear weapon
Let's search and destroy all the innocent throats we can step on
You bury your face underneath, halfhearted confessions
You poison yourself with the thought I won't love you to death
Black lights across my face
Words that we'll never write
Wait for the phone to ring
Back to the starting line, go
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
I don't feel shame, I don't have highs, but I've got some lows
I feel a bit cursed, I've been numb and sinking down like a stone
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
More than you'd know
I shook all the leaves from your tree and left you with nothing
I can't see the colors you see, they won't see me coming
The ivy is starting to creep, it grows through the awnings
It's dawning on me that I shouldn't be trying at all
Black lights across my face
Words that we'll never write
Wait for the phone to ring
Back to the starting line, go
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
I don't feel shame, I don't have highs, but I've got some lows
I feel a bit cursed, I've been numb and sinking down like a stone
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
More than you'd know
It goes on and on, I swear it don't belong
On and on (we're lonely), I swear we don't belong (whatever)
(Too tongue-tied forever)
It goes on and on (we're lonely), I swear we don't belong (whatever)
(Too tongue-tied forever)
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
I don't feel shame, I don't have highs, but I've got some lows
I feel a bit cursed, I've been numb and sinking down like a stone
I don't feel pain, but I feel more than you'd ever know
More than you'd know
TURN THIS OFF!
If you're too sensitive, well turn this off
If you're too offended by these words then please f*ck off
If you're an asshole with a dick, then that's something I can lick
Then maybe we can call ourselves proctologists
When I first took you out for sushi on a date
You took me home, I sadly pumped away
On your stomach, face or ass
It's your fault I came fast
So don't blame it on me, that a you thing
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
When we were young the world felt so small (felt so small)
When we were young nothing could break us apart (break us apart)
Do you know your eyes are like the stars? (Are like stars)
Summer nights, making out in my car (in my car)
When we were young
Are you still running free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we'd explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me or maybe, never?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were young
Back in the day we used to say, "F*ck them all" (f*ck them all)
Prodigal sons, were second to none, they gave me a job (gave me a job)
Now I'm stuck at work like a typical jerk with nowhere to go (nowhere to go)
We fell out of touch, now everything sucks, I'm out on my own (out on my own)
When we were young
Are you still running free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we'd explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me or maybe, never?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were young
When we were young
Are you still running free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we'd explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me or maybe, never?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were young
EDGING
I ain't that cool, a little f*cked in the head
They'll be hangin' me quick when I'm back from the dead
Get the rope, get the rope
Get the rope, get the rope
I'm a punk rock kid, I came from hell with a curse
She tried to pray it away, so I f*cked her in church
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know? Yeah, don't you know?
They say
"You're not safe here if I stay
With a knife that sharp, no way"
No, I leave them broken-hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I lead the broken hearts this way (this way)
Whatcha say? (Whatcha say?)
Wanna play?
Yeah, don't be fooled, I'm only lettin' you down
They pursued me on foot, but I hid in the crowd
Like a ghost, like a ghost
Like a ghost, like a ghost
The seats of my car are filled with cigarette burns
I got a fire in my eye, a little blood on my shirt
Let's hit the road, hit the road
Hit the road, hit the road
I know
There's a special place in hell
That my friends and I know well
There's a perfect place to go
When it's time to lose control
No, I leave them broken-hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I lead the broken hearts this way (this way)
Whatcha say? (Whatcha say?)
Wanna play?
Nightmare, daydream (no, oh no, oh no, oh no)
You can't save me (oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)
No way, no, I leave them broken-hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I lead the broken hearts this way (shit)
Oh no, I leave them broken-hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I lead the broken hearts this way
Whatcha say? Every day
It's a waste, wanna play?
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT
One phone call wiped out a year
Like waves swept under the pier
Long weeks of impending doom
Stuck in life's waiting room
Always so close to goodbye
Pushed so far over the line
No new light under the moon
Stuck in life's waiting room
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's over
Another day in the life
You can't look me in the eye
There's nothing left you could say
It wouldn't help anyway
This poison skin you can't touch
Go on without me, my love
No kiss to send you away
It wouldn't help anyway
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's over
I begged for your forgiveness
I made a deal with God
I took you all for granted
You can write my epilogue
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's almost gone
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over
BLINK WAVE
Hey, you said
I'm sorry but I ain't quite heaven-sent
My nervous system's just a nervous wreck
And on and on
We're torn apart and strung along
Yeah, we tried
But never could escape the long goodbye
And crashed into the dark beneath the ice
And in my dreams
I lie awake and kick the sheets
You are so inordinary
Seems so scary to be buried
You know I just can't keep my mind off you
The pain's so deep, I can't get through
With the midnight black-and-white tattoos
'Cause the same old fights, they just won't do
Hey, you said
I'm sorry but I just got filled with dread
I'm haunted by the voice inside my head
And on and on
This broken heart will carry on
You are so inordinary
Seems so scary to be buried
I just can't keep my mind off you
The pain's so deep, I can't get through
With the midnight black-and-white tattoos
'Cause the same old fights, they just won't do
Now I just can't keep my mind off you
This hurts so bad, I can't get through
But I always say I'll wait for you
'Cause the same old girls, they just won't do
Save me like the last time
The best ten days of my life, the best ten days of my life
Save me, save me like the last time
The last ten days of my life, the last ten days of my life
You know I just can't keep my mind off you
The pain's so deep, I can't get through
With the midnight black-and-white tattoos
'Cause the same old fights, they just won't do
Now I just can't keep my mind off you
This hurts so bad, I can't get through
But I always say I'll wait for you
'Cause the same old girls, they just won't do
Now I just can't keep my mind off you
This hurts so bad, I can't get through
But I always say I'll wait for you
'Cause the same old girls, they just won't do
BAD NEWS
I'm giving you bad, bad news
I think I might've fallen out of love with you
Years of fighting and hiding feelings
All those nights staring at the ceiling
I keep on thinking that I might be better alone
(I might be better alone)
Sometimes when I get back from work I wish no one was home
(I wish no one was home)
I start reminiscing 'bout times we had
Like I'm always missing what we can't get back
I'm giving you bad, bad news
I think I might've fallen out of love with you
Years of fighting and hiding feelings
All those nights staring at the ceiling
I'm giving you bad, bad news
Now I think I know what I already knew
The truth is out so there's no pretending
I guess there's no such thing as a happy ending
This is the last song I'll ever write for you
No more telling me I'm not right for you
Save your breath there's nothing left to do
This is the last song I'll ever write for you
I'm giving you bad, bad news
I think I might've fallen out of love with you
Years of fighting and hiding feelings
All those nights staring at the ceiling
I'm giving you bad, bad news
Now I think I know what I already knew
The truth is out so there's no pretending
I guess there's no such thing as a happy ending
HURT (INTERLUDE)
Have you hurt like this before? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
When your heart's already torn (oh-oh, oh-oh)
When your tears are on my mind (oh-oh, oh-oh)
We fall apart there every time (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Have you loved like this before? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Someone's heart laid on the floor (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, we know that love is blind (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, there's damage those eyes
TURPENTINE
Soaked your clothes in kerosene
Cleanse the mind of ketamine
Slide your mom on top of me
(Wash yourself with turpentine)
My arms, I've raised again
Today I don't feel bitter
I have no path within
Don't know if I'll get better
My own mind's unclean
Can't taste anything
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Working at the factory
Stick to the veins of nicotine
(Wash yourself with turpentine)
I feel like I'll cave in
I'm anxious, I am weathered
I've lost my way again
I know there ain't no treasure
My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Working at the factory
Stick to the veins of nicotine
(Wash yourself with turpentine)
Sharks smell the blood in the water
We're all just lambs to the slaughter
It's only all the time this time
A generation lost and forgotten
Clawing at the lid of the coffin
Your God ain't coming back this time
Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah, bla-blah, bla-blah, f*ck
(Wash yourself with turpentine)
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Lift me like the trampoline
Stick your dick in Ovaltine
Snort a bag of Dramamine
Doust yourself in gasoline
Throw up in a limousine
Jack off to a magazine
Wash yourself with turpentine
(Goddamnit)
FUCK FACE
Shut up, you talk too much (you talk too much), you talk too much
Shut up, you talk too much (you talk too much), you talk too much
Shut up, you talk too much (you talk too much), you talk too much
Shut up, you talk too much (you talk too much), you talk too f*cking much
OTHER SIDE
They took you away on a Tuesday
A lightning bolt without a cloud in the sky
We grew up Siouxsie and the Banshees
10:15 on a Saturday night
It'll never be the same, stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side
How'd you get back to the hotel?
Where did you end up at the end of the night?
How can I go back to Holmdel?
How could you leave without saying goodbye?
It'll never be the same, stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side
Captured lights through barricades
Long-lost nights and better days
It'll never be the same, stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side
It'll never be the same, stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side
CHILDHOOD
I see signs up in the sky
Disappear before my eyes
Whoa, whoa
Guess we're all desensitized
Forgot the meaning of our lives
Whoa, whoa
What's going on with me?
Everybody seems so lost, I wanna leave
2023, who the f*ck are we?
Remember when we were young
And we'd laugh at everything?
Got caught up in a world
That forgot how to dream
I'd never thought we'd end up here
We're back in time to the best years
Remember when we were young?
We thought we knew everything
Where did our childhood go? I wanna know
Where did our childhood go? I wanna know
We just need some time away
Take me back to yesterday
Whoa, whoa
Why is everyone afraid to be themselves, not imitate?
Whoa, whoa
What's going on with me?
Everybody seems so lost, I wanna leave
2023, who the f*ck are we?
Remember when we were young
And we'd laugh at everything?
Got caught up in a world
That forgot how to dream
I'd never thought we'd end up here
We're back in time to the best years
Remember when we were young?
We thought we knew everything
Where did our childhood go? I wanna know
Where did our childhood go? I wanna know
