Sell out, buy in
fuck over all of your friends
show off, move on,
get what you wanted, what you wanted all along
Sit and stay pretty it's a pity what they see
the person that you want isn't who i want to be
loyal to the royals til you find another queen
find another queen, yeah, find another queen
When is enough enough?
you're never enough my love
when is enough enough for me?

So me and my fish friend Paul were swimmin round, real hungry, and Paul says to me "Hey man, let's get tacos!" And I listen to him cause Paul's my best friend and he loves tacos man, like loves tacos.
So we bring his pet turtle and we head to the taco shop, having a grand ol' time, when who should swim up but our arch nemesis Jenson.
That mermaid can be a real jerk some days and this day was no different, let me tell you. He stole our tacos! All the freakin' tacos!
Underwater taco party night
Whales and eels and turtles delight
Swimmin up and down the reef
Lookin for a bite to eat
Well just as he was swimmin off real fast, Kristlynn that big old whale, just comes up and eats him whole!
And now we're freaking out. We're crying and yelling, but Kristlynn starts sneezing. She's sneezing so hard that out comes Jenson! She sneezed him out whole! He was okay, so we knew it was time to party.
A crazy party with Emily the eel and Taylor the turtle down at the taco shop where we can eat all the tacos we want
Underwater taco party night
Whales and eels and turtles delight
Swimmin up and down the reef
Lookin for a bite to eat

There’s a voice inside my head that hates everyone I’ve ever met
That’s the voice that tends to hate me too
I have known for quite some time, don’t trust that side inside my mind
Somehow some days it some way seeps through
Hush now honey those thoughts are funny
What are you worried for
Well your silly little head and your silly little heart are pulling you in two
Your self-obsessed self-consciousness can only hold you down
Taking all the good and turning it around
Trying to hide the truth
Making friends is overrated, you’re just so damn complicated
So much so you’d rather be alone
Boo hoo hoo your life is hard, nobody knows quite who you are
Probably cause you’d never tell a soul
Hush now honey those thoughts are funny
What are you crying for
Everybody loves you, everybody needs you, try to stick around
All those thoughts inside your head
Can't say what you don't mean
Taking you for granted, views a little slanted, what else can I say
I’ll define myself by what I hate and the folks that I can’t tolerate
Self-discovery just takes too long
I’ll be fine all by myself, I don’t need you or no one else
If I’m all alone I can’t be wrong

Ain't That Just The Way

There goes the neighborhood with no time to pack its bag
The young man wants his piece of the pie and the old folks just want cash
Outside it’s oh so pretty I’ll watch the whole world burn
Set fire to those dinosaurs and I can make my wheels turn
The boss man says we’ll go to war there’s gold in them their hills
The whole worlds full of terrorists we need you to foot the bill
Don’t do drugs and stay in school there’s rules for your protection
Refuse and rehabilitate hard work fights and infection
I won’t do a thing that I was told
Cuz you won’t tell the truth about it you just fucking dance around it
I thought we’d die before we all got old
Doomsday’s just around the corner no such thing as feeling normal
Ignorance is bliss they say but only for the ignorant
In the time it takes to find the truth the rest of us don’t give a shit
It’s all for one and one for all unless there’s some incentive
Survival of the fittest means the death of common census
Now pay it forward then take some back make sure that everyone sees
The middle man makes the most you know it’s the devil in between
Don’t get much better but it could be worse stay tuned as it unfolds
You’ve been burned once so shame on you now shut up enjoy the cold
I won’t do a thing that I was told
Cuz you won’t tell the truth about it you just fucking dance around it
I thought we’d die before we all got old
Doomsday’s just around the corner no such thing as feeling normal
Round and round and round it goes x 1,000,000
Ain’t that just the way
I won’t do a thing that I was told
Cuz you won’t tell the truth about it you just fucking dance around it
I thought we’d die before we all got old
Doomsday’s just around the corner no such thing as feeling normal
I won’t do a thing that I was told
Cuz you won’t tell the truth about it you just fucking dance around it
I thought we’d die before we all got old
Doomsday’s just around the corner no such thing as feeling normal

The faces, the faces of the ones I knew
I lost you
Can't remember, the things you said, the memory's
Just not there
Can't see, tunnel vision, cloud eyes, blind temptation
Wrong shape and size, I realize, living in lies, between the lines
Soft edges, reality you cannot know
How safe here
Slurred motion, blurred words I don't know how to use
It's empty
Can't see, tunnel vision, cloud eyes, blind temptation
Wrong shape and size, I realize, living in lies, between the lines

I am the messenger
Surrogate listener
I am your battle flag to wave
Just a loaded gun
sharpened lethal tongue
I am your anger on display
with an arrow drawn
all right and never wrong
living targets for your game
Take this identity
who is my enemy, who is my enemy
Can you set me free
who is your enemy, who is your enemy
I am your armor on
front lines, just a pawn
scarecrow as you run away
Left me here to burn
will I ever learn
softened puppet used for play
toyed with, cast aside
last time I'll ever try
last time you'll ever get your way
Take this identity
who is my enemy, who is my enemy
Can you set me free
who is your enemy, who is your enemy

Apologies

I'm sorry for never loving you,
not knowing if I'll ever be able to
I'm sorry
I'm always underestimating your ability
Never appreciating all that you've achieved and I can't take that back
I carved canyons into your flesh while you climbed mountains and I never set you free
I never took care of you because I didn't feel like you deserved it
I punished you for things you couldn't control
I blamed you, I damaged you, I destroyed you, I pulled you apart as if you meant nothing, as if you aren't everything
I neglected to give you what you need
I denied your desires, diminished your dreams
I allowed hate to haunt your every move because I hated you
And I'm sorry for ever hating you
I allowed others the opportunity to hurt you, never to love you and see how good you really are
It wasn't fair and as much as I care, I still can't stop hating you, trying to change you, every chance I get
I poisoned you and I pushed you and i cut you and i burned you i buried you and i hit you and i hurt you and i hate you
I'm sorry, I miss you. I love you, I hate you. I'm sorry, I love you
But I can't love you the way that you need to be loved
I don't know where to go from here
Because I don't know how we got here
How it got this bad
But I'm apologizing
I wanted to start over
Bring us together, to be better, or whatever
And I know that saying sorry isn't enough
I know it doesn't actually do anything
So I promise to try harder
To give you more time and space, the voice I didn't know how to give, the life you always wanted to live
Wouldn't that be nice, if we could have that, someday, together.
