Means a lot 02:29
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)
5.
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
