Means a lot

You're sitting on the beach
and the tide is rolling in
but, the doors been walled across
the way you came in
Always in a hurry
and always under the gun
Living someone else's dream
isn't my idea of fun
it means a lot to you x3
it doesnt mean a thing to me.
You seemed so out of reach
by the time they dragged you in
the sharks have done a number
on your eyes and on your skin
never was a moment
that you ever had a doubt
something I could do for you
was something I could do without
oh I know it-
It means a lot to you x3
You know it doesn't mean a thing to me
Doesnt mean a thing to me
a thing to me
(twice)
oh I know it-
It means a lot to you x3
Doesnt mean a thing to me x 6

Inside out
00:55
|

|
Can't sleep and I don't wanna think about it
Poor me, I can't live with out it
Oh no, what can I do
and I think and I think
and I think
That I think to much
I think too much
Lights out and I don't think it's gonna help it
but I don't wanna live for ever
and the lights and the lights
and the lights
are growing dim
I'm growing dim
Don't wanna be on the inside now
even when it's raining out
Don't wanna be on the inside now
Even though I'm inside out
(twice)
I'm inside out x4

Everything
02:02
|
|||
|
Everything
seems like its getting worse than it was before
and you and I
we both know that there's nothing more
cause you're out of touch and you know it's true
I got a bad feeling when I think of the truth
My legs are restless and I wanna go
but, I've got no one to take me home.
Nobody
Well, nobody's paid the rent
and the money
the moneys all been spent
It's all gone
It's spent away
and I'm surprised that it took till today
First you're telling stories
then, you're telling lies
Are you ever gonna
Realize
that
Everything x3
Everything is x3
Everything is wrong
My legs are restless and I wanna go
but, I've got no one to take me home.
I guess I gotta get used to it
Though I
Can't stand it
Everything is wrong

On your own
02:16
|
|||
|
You don't feel good at all
made to feel weak and small
on your own
happy just to be alone
at least you've still got your health
if you don't, keep it to yourself
cause I'm sick, sick of being sick and tired
So, once again
you've got no friends
and you're gonna have to deal with this
on your own
as much as you whistle
you'll get no attention from me
I get it, I get it
you're not who you wanted to be
I've got some news
that's not pen you're writing with,
it's crayon
you're mouth is moving but,
I can't hear a word you're saying
(three times)
So, once again
you've got no friends
and you're gonna have to deal with this
on your own
(twice and out)

(You're) Breakin' up
02:55
|
|||
|
It's gonna be dark before I get home
That's a sign that I stayed too long
I used to reach out and I'd grab it
Now I just do it out of habit
So come on, who's kidding who?
All those things that you made me do
Come on, yeah, come on
Used to be a time when you would come in loud and clear
Now there's just a sound of static in my ear...
I'm feeling edgy and I don't know why
Call the doctor 'cause I'm sick inside
Must be a better way to pay the rent
Yeah, you're not guilty, you're innocent
Come on, yeah, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
There used to be a time when you would come in loud and clear
Now there's just a sound of static in my ear
There used to be a time when you would come in loud and come in clear
Now there's just a sound of static in my ear
You're breaking up
You're breaking up
Come on
Used to be a time when you would come in loud and clear
Now there's just a sound of static in my ear
You're breaking up
You're breaking up
You're breaking up
You're breaking up
You're breaking up
You're breaking up (You're break, you're breaking up)
You're breaking up (You're break, you're breaking up)
You're breaking up (You're break, you're breaking up)
You're breaking up (You're break, you're breaking up)
You're breaking up

Use up
02:07
|
|||
|
You're gonna use up all your crying
Your gonna use it all up now
and when the time comes to rely on it,
it will have run out
and it won't be there at all x4
There's something underlying
I can't put my finger on it
there's nothing worse thatn crying
when you cant handle it
I don't care for it x4
You don't listen to a word I say x8
You're gonna use up all your crying
Your gonna use it all up now
and when the time comes to rely on it,
it will have run out
and it won't be there at all x4

No way out
01:32
|
|||
|
You paint yourself in a corner
dealt yourself a losing hand
there is one thing thats for sure
that you don't seem to understand
but I do x4
You don't wanna pay for what you owe them
and you find yourself with(out) no plans
tried to delete what has happened
you never really had a chance
it's true x8
There is no way out of this x4

Take my head
03:00
|
|||
|
Had to admit that I
was caught up in the moment
one mistake
was all it takes
and then you own it
one, two
take my arms
three, four
take my legs
better yet
leave them both
and take my head
I didn't know that the ground would shift
now, you'll be safe and I'll be there
If there's a way to get through this
when the wind picks up I get down
When the wind picks up I get....
one, two
take my arms
three, four
take my legs
better yet
leave them both
and take my head
take my head x3

Gulag
02:48
|
|||
|
this place is a gulag
this place is the worst
its a bad ending
that nobody deserves
next time I will know that
when you talk, you lie
this place is a car wreck that
nobody survivedx4
I don't believe
anyone
anymore
I wish I could tell you
that it's been fun
but then I'd be lyiong
just like you've done
if this place was on fore
and burnt to the grounmd
I wouldnt be sad
I'd probably warm my hands and I'd dance around x2
I don't believe
anyone
anymore
I know it's late x8
