I Hate Mr. Brightside

Dear all, I'm back in town again
Flashback, back when it began
Old times, better than I am
Oh god, where did I begin?
No drugs, that's what I believed
Now look, that's not what you see
Guilty, not how I should be
Oh god, where is this leading me?
I want what's best for you
I want, I
I'm sorry I'm leaving again, too high to get off the bed
I took a snapchat of me, my eyes were squinted and red
They ask me are you okay? Don't say youre better off dead
I'll probably push you away, or get into your head
All the mistakes I have made, with lots of tension and hate
I should just get in my car, leave town on 608
I hope your happy with them, I know I am happy with us
I'm not that worried much, I just dont think I should stay
Oh no, that's how it starts again
Start back, back before the band
Step off, take your seat young man
Oh god, where's it gonna end?
Have rules, thats what I believed
Now look, thats not what you see
Guilty, not how I should be
Oh god, who'll look after me
I wish I could skip ahead
I wish, I
I'm sorry I'm leaving again, too high to get off the bed
I took a snapchat of me, my eyes were squinted and red
They ask me are you okay? Don't say youre better off dead
I'll probably push you away, or get into your head
All the mistakes I have made, with lots of tension and hate
I should just get in my car, leave town on 608
I hope your happy with them, I know I am happy with us
I'm not that worried much, I just dont think I should stay
For years, I will await
Im sorry I stayed
For years I will await
Im sorry I stayed
I'm sorry I'm leaving again, too high to get off the bed
I took a snapchat of me, my eyes were squinted and red
They ask me are you okay? Don't say youre better off dead
I'll probably push you away, or get into your head
All the mistakes I have made, with lots of tension and hate
I should just get in my car, leave town on 608
I hope your happy with them, I know I am happy with us
I'm not that worried much, I just dont think I should stay

You wanted it, why not face it
Get pills when you get braces
Grow up in a house thats faded
Can't take that your related
Can't focus when you can't take it
Need more or you won't make it
You wanted it, why not face it
Take some and learn the basics
You got caught up again, yeah
You wanted it' why not face it
Back down man you wont make it
Go to sleep man youre wide awake, yeah
Padded cell I'm making a break today
Long nights spent dancing the pain away
Broken eyes when you look in your partners face
Broken strings if youre not giving your partner space
Locked up so I'm thinking a lot again
Caught up by another returning friend
Back home where the ghosts of the high's went
Rewind because I'm losing my head again
You wanted it, why not face it
RX out, you can't fake it
I head how he got wasted
Swallow it you can't even taste it
Face up man, youre starting to loose your touch
Pills they really got you thinking tough
You wanted it, why not face it
Give up man, you won't make it
You got caught up again, yeah
You wanted it, why not face it
Blacked out man, he can't take it
Be discreet man your pills are showing
Padded cell I'm making a break today
Long nights spent dancing the pain away
Broken eyes when you look in your partners face
Broken strings if youre not giving your partner space
Locked up so I'm thinking a lot again
Caught up by another returning friend
Back home where the ghosts of the high's went
Rewind because I'm losing my head again
I'll find myself, patiently waiting for change
I sit and think about how long we have left in this mysterious place
What do, you really mean to me
I don't know how well we feel while we act like we're going to try to change it
But you know, how long we remain in flight
Trying to reach out to something and grab on and grab hold and take it
I know, yeah I know yeah I know it hurts
I know yeah I know yeah I know it hurts

Slippery When Wet
04:30

I want a white picket fence
To work a 9 to 5
I want to see the pain in your eyes
Shelter me from outside, yeah
And the curtains close for you
They say I like the way that you do
In time, maybe I would be you
So pack the bowl it fell through
I want my mind in your hands
Manipulate and finish your plans
Act like it was just beginning
Computers are in the ending
I saw the machine
With updates on my work
Corporate is where I belong
I don't want to get famous
And the curtains close for you
They say I like the way that you do
In time, maybe I would be you
So pack the bowl it fell through
I want my mind in your hands
Manipulate and finish your plans
Act like it was just beginning
Computers are in the ending

Leave Me To My Work

Leave me to my work
This stress is killing me
My life feels so bizarre
My eyes are killing me
It feels like 100 degrees
But I have to do my work
I wish I lived for free
My lungs are killing me
I heard they have a plan
They talk behind our backs
I think I saw a man
He wants to know the facts
No way, I see no way
No way, I see no way
No way, I see no way
No way, I see no way

The Beat Is Forsaken

The beat is foresaken
The music is ending
There's no where to run to
And plenty to hide from
The beat is foresaken
The road you have taken
The time you been wasting
Your mind is foresaken
The beat is foresaken
The beat is foresaken
There's evil in his face man
There's evil in his face man
The place that is raining
The beast that is waiting
Their feeling of hating
Their feelings of hating
The beat is foresaken
The dogs have awaken
Don't make mistakes man
Just stick the damn plan
The beat is foresaken
The beat is foresaken
The beat is foresaken
The beat is foresaken
I don't wanna be here when they find out that the drugs hit
I don't wanna be here when they find out that the drugs hit
I don't wanna be here when they find out that you snitched
I don't wanna be here when they find out that you snitched
