I Was The Devil For One Afternoon - Boys Night Out
It's a good thing that I havn't slept in weeks
Because right now, it seems that times are hard for dreamers
I've got a broken neck sense of mortality.
It clashes with your blood, lust, sentimentality.
She says "It's wrong, but oh, we need it"
as she sits waiting up for me.
But I'm not coming home.
I've driven seven days of distance
and the dial tone on the end of this receiver
is what's really wrong with me.
One day dear, I'll come crawling through the front door
just to fall into an empty room with a ruined view.
I'm doing this for you.
So I'll see to it that through me you dont have to
suffer like this anymore.
My impulsive impulses give me my excuses.
I've got a broken neck sense of mortality.
It clashes with your blood, lust, sentimentality.
She says "It's wrong, but oh, we need it."
as she sits waiting up for me.
But I'm not coming home.
I've driven seven days of distance,
and the dial tone on the end of this receiver
is what's really wrong with me.
You know dear, I never think things through,
but I'm doing this for you
For the first time I'm looking back on the time
I spend writing down lines disguised as warning signs.
There was something in the way
you turned and looked at me
I started panicking. I started panicking.
Until your hearbeat stopped...Until your body dropped.
That will always be my favourite memory of you and me.
And I've give anything to know the reasons behind the wreckage.
I ruined everything for you.
Hurricane - Something Corporate
Shake down you make me break,
for goodness sake,
I think I'm on the edge
of something new with you.
Shout out don't drown the sound;
I'll drown you out.
You'll never scream so loud
as I want to scream with you.
Standing there with your smile blinding
your eyes from seeing
My face as I'm dying
To figure out a girl.
But she drifts so far away,
I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay
And map around your world.
So don't say
"These currents are still killing me."
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane.
Stand up, don't make a sound
your ears might bleed.
There are sweet flourescent enemies
that live inside of me.
The world moves faster than I knew;
not fast enough to not creep up on you
and the space we put between.
So pull me under your weather patterns,
your cold fronts, and the rain don't matter
because the sun burns what I needed.
So don't say
"These currents are still killing me."
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled you into the hurricane.
You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake.
Now I count the hours 'til you wake.
With your babies breath,
Breathe symphonies.
Come on sweet catastrophe.
Well, maybe this time I can follow through.
I can feel complete,
stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling,
keep my ocean calm.
This time I know nothing's wrong.
So don't say
"These currents are still killing me."
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me in and no,
You don't say
"These currents are still killing me."
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane.
The Ladies In The Town All Know My Name - Strong Bad
I am so very great,
and the ladies in the town all know my name.
Except for this one girl;
she thinks my name's Brian.
We'll Become Silhouettes - The Postal Service
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
and pictures of you,
and I'm not coming out
until this is all over.
And I'm looking through the glass where the light bends
at the cracks,
and I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, pretending
the echoes belong to someone...
Someone I used to know.
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors.
Because the air outside will make our cells
divide at an alarming rate until our shells
simply cannot hold all our insides in,
and that's when we'll explode.
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.
Buried A Lie - Senses Fail
Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame.
The paper said a bullet got in your way.
But I smell foul play, possible poisoning.
I had to bring you in for questioning.
I went to your grave, dug up your body,
brought it to my house, where you lay.
So let's play doctor babe,
we'll operate today
Incisions must be made.
You could help solve this case
for me.
I headed downtown to share what I had found.
It's not a suicide, it's a crime.
I have a witness, it's clearly evident,
there had to be someone else present
at the time of deathl; poisons in stomach.
How could she pull it, if she's dead?
So let's play doctor babe,
we'll operate today
Incisions must be made.
You could help solve this case.
We need a scalpel now;
under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
before the flesh decays
away...away.
I'll catch the murderer
and send him away.
I'll get the evidence
from your last day.
Your last day...
So let's play doctor babe,
we'll operate today.
Incisions must be made.
You could help solve this case.

away.
Sirens - Life At Sea
I hear the sirens up ahead,
I see the flashing lights
covering the words I said.
I feel this distance inbetween
you and me.
Now I see why you want to leave.
Just don't say you want to leave.
Oh don't say you want to,
just tell me what you need.
Oh don't say you want to leave.
We could work this out.
All the promises were lies.
And now I'm drowning in
a river of the tears you cry.
There's a whole inside my heart.
It's where you looked.
I guess I couldn't give you
what you need.
Just don't say you want to leave.
Oh don't say you want to,
just tell me what you need.
Oh don't say you want to leave;
we can work this out
if you believe.

How To Escape - The Gamits
Anywhere but here,
in any place but this.
We're living out our lives in suspended animation,
waiting for the next train to appear.
For some reason I took a wrong turn somewhere
between black and white.
And now I'm stuck in this location,
counting the days till i get back home.
These walls weren't built to break,
how much stress can they take?
I won't leave you behind,
I know how to escape.
Our wounds will heal in time.
These sounds will numb the pain.
You got no regrets
and no boundaries, well I've got a lot of both.
Chains of hurt and balls of anger
kept me in this prison for some time.
Now I'm crawling out
through those tunnels that I've dug out underground.
And no one notices or hears me,
and no one ever listened anyway.
These walls weren't built to break,
how much stress can they take?
I won't leave you behind,
I know how to escape
Our wounds will heal in time.
These sounds will numb the pain.
What are you waiting for, some kind of sign?
You either grow or you die.
These walls weren't built to break,
how much stress can they take?
I won't leave you behind,
I know how to escape
Our wounds will heal in time.
These sounds will numb the pain.
