Magic 02:25

God's on my back Like a motherfuckin' asshole Loud steps of angels Never learned how to tiptoe Grandma be squawking Other zealots that you've known Waving a paddle made of wood From their old home I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic Lack of trust Blow a kiss to the heavens A spirit pure Who died when I was seven Broken glass Close my eyes And see nothing Never doubt When I'm believing in something I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic Live my life Always felt I was solo Half breed nigger Wearing Vans and a polo Take my heart I'll bring a bat For these shadows Ghosts can't speak So I dance with the devil Then a voice Quietly Says walk away Don't talk to me I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic I don't believe in your brand of magic I know it's tragic Tragic tragic

Time went by in a flash I could not find the key It knocked me flat on my ass Three sixes follow me Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need 'Cuz I'm not having it Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me who to see 'Cuz there's no changing this They laughed and bit at my heels Thought they got the best of me Seeing signs like 'let's make a deal' But I'm getting wise to things Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need 'Cuz I'm not havin' it Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me who to see 'Cuz there's no changing this Seems like old times Arthur said Birds in the sacristy I give God a kick to the head And he sends one back at me Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need 'Cuz I'm not having it Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me who to see 'Cuz there's no changing this You mean the world to me she says But she's not the one I seek This girl who lives in your head Is more than just a dream Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need 'Cuz I'm not having it Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me who to see 'Cuz there's no changing this Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need 'Cuz I'm not having it Don't tell me who to love Don't tell me who to see 'Cuz there's no changing this

Chatty Cathy Well, you said a mouthful You're never dreaming And my leaving is doubtful Tickers streaming Roads that lead to the devil Grow a pair And we'd get out of this trouble I don't care I don't have time for this bullshit I know I love you Never wanted to have kids I see a world with you And time's at a standstill We'll make it baby By our passion And your will Deep inside me There's a reason for living My heart is open You don't care what I'm giving A cup of wine God is dead we ain't grieving Sleep till noon Now I'm back but you're sleeping I don't care I don't have time for this bullshit I know I love you Never wanted to have kids I see a world with you And time's at a standstill We'll make it baby By our passion And your will

Yes 03:06
lyrics

I have spent many nights Awake Staring alone At your face I run when it's dark The view I'm coming apart It's true I won't leave you alone Until you say yes I won't leave you alone Until you say yes I'm not quite your type I think Never sure of myself I drink I've been a liar A fool for love Losing faith in a God Above I won't leave you alone Until you say yes I won't leave you alone Until you say yes A lonely road I have walked In shame With no one else in the world To blame I made mistakes But I've changed It's true Though we're not the same I do love you I won't leave you alone Until you say yes I won't leave you alone Until you say yes

Sometimes I don't wanna see The things that you're showing me Then I take my glasses off Hear a sneeze And then a cough Your voice at the lowest pitch Oh please Come and cut me bitch Unafraid in America I've been had But I'll work it out I'm blind But it's kinda nice Blocking out Summer lullabies There's a buzz Ringing in my ear Fuckers talk But they're never clear Unafraid in America I've been had But I'll work it out

All Yours 02:59
lyrics

My soul is going up in flames And it don't bother me I've given up on many things Dreams from who I used to be I'm at a stage where everything Is a game that is here to stay I'm gonna fly on an aeroplane Searching for another way Of saying I'm all yours You're the one I'm fighting for I don't care if I sleep tonight I think of you when I'm wide awake You've been my only light See your face with every breath I take I'd love to take you out tonight And know for sure you are truly safe Hold you close and never leave your sight Dancing at a lover's pace Saying I'm all yours You're the one I'm fighting for

Go ahead Make a fool out of me If you want I'll give them everything That I've got Who needs a plan If I live Or I die Nothing's ever been So clear in my mind Wear me out With a joke Squirrel in the park River dreams Of the girl who stole my heart Day or night I could pray And it would all be the same I have a lust for you That can never be tamed Punk rock Blue skies Look at the sun Cross in the Square And it's a zero sum Got faith Got hope Today I thrive Little girl in my ear She says 'go get mine' Fire works Hockey puck The street is alive Wishing I had the strength To take this dive Day or night I could pray And it would all be the same I have a lust for you That can never be tamed

lyrics

I prayed late this evening For a girl and her family Passing cars Lights are beaming Only hope that she'll have me We can talk when I see you That could be never We can talk when I see you When we're happy together What is left after sorrow Are there words I should promise I can't help but feel grateful For the night though it's hopeless We can talk when I see you That could be never We can talk when I see you When we're happy together Web wrapped around me On my arms I can feel it There are ghosts that surround me World for two if I steal it We can talk when I see you That could be never We can talk when I see you When we're happy together We can talk when I see you That could be never We can talk when I see you When we're happy together

Who needs God Who needs faith Who needs Paradise When it's too late Who needs time When no ones safe Who needs Camelot If I'm okay Run like hell The t-shirts say I'll love her now And when I'm in the grave Who needs Zeus Or ancient games He offers snakes Instead of lives to save I found love And now I'm free My mind is proud And yes I finally see Who needs fame They're all the same Immortal works Of those with higher pay It's all they've got Nothing more We all will die When death is at our door

I'll call you up With a coin I found And we'll do brunch Where there is no sound Space cadet Green leaves are falling I won't pray to God I'll buy a chair for rocking We do this dance Each and every morning You have a way with words Though I'm not conforming No regrets I've found my calling I won't pray to God I'll buy a chair for rocking See a homeless girl On the street She's pregnant Where's Superman When the weak are begging They need a helping hand I still can't hear you Don't you understand I'll never fear you More lost souls And it ain't a secret You've lost control And clearly you can't see them Paid in full And I will love my hostess I won't pray to God I'll buy a chair for rocking Angels make threats They say that I am lying Spit comes out their mouths Now the rain is falling But I like the chill When it hits my skin I pissed them off And now I know I'll win Empire State I kneel to my queen She's a fire star The only one I need My cup is full Don't need to live forever God won't help I'll buy a chair for rocking

I won't give in I'll never let you go I don't care how long it takes I need to let you know I will climb the highest peak Blindly give my trust Faith in you is all I need And things are looking up We could plan the perfect heist Take them for a ride We will find our way tonight If you are by my side A bullet to the chest The pain It won't make me cry I am now a child again We've gone back in time Remember who you are she says The source is found in you I tell her that she's everything My love for her is true Stories that I told for years Make it hard for her to see She's the one that gave me air When I found I couldn't breathe

Mary 02:42
lyrics

I am a sinner I'm a man An earthly demon Judged Never understood I'm seeking freedom Two Mary's guiding me This day And I'm not dreaming The prayer I used to say Is back in season There is a fool Who seeks the throne And greater power He comes from the city Where I live A golden tower I'm no better I'm no saint I am a coward The shadow at my feet Is sweet and sour Mary I'm lost without you I can't find a reason A life of loss and time While you are sleeping There are letters I could write But I'm no poet Nor as tender as I'd like And don't I know it Vulgar words A frightened bird I'm hopeless Not worthy of your love Maybe you won't notice

Listen up You little man I'm your Lord With the master plan Hear your voice Better give a damn I am real Don't you bite my hand Gave you life And a world to grow Wreck my car You'll reap what you sow Nothing gained From an Amethyst If you fight You will meet my fist God is love But I'm not a fool I have given you every tool Light the spark And on judgement day You'll be sorry that you never prayed Rock n' roll That's all right with me Live your life This is easy street People speak A thought balloon Every voice With an eerie tune Where's your faith Mister Power Trip Whine And I'll sink your battleship If you fight You will cease to exist Nothing gained From an Amethyst

Would you jump If I asked you to Are you dry Do you love me true Is there more For me to say to you I promise Not to make you blue You can fly But I am on the ground Don't have wings But I can hear the sound That you make When we go round and round Believe me I'm not going down I will fight I wanna be your man There's a God But can he understand Ring of lies On my left hand Take me now I know I'm damned Passion leads But there's no follow through Predetermined But without a clue Put my trust And all my faith in you There's nothing left For me to do
