I've heard that you're back in town, holy cow I hope that you're happy now, 'cause it sounds Like you'll be here for a while, I compiled Reasons to stick around this shitty town If I see you then it may, make my day So much that I wanna say, if I may I'd never have found a way, to convey I mourned when you got away, I hope you stay I saw you on thursday night and, holy hell you looked damn fine girl Swing my way and we'll get naughty Gorgeous little fuck Frustrating it happens time, after time Take my shot and drop the line, too much wine I wish I could read your mind, see designs To lead us to intertwined, alone time
2.
Meet me on the harbour front You can bring your friends I'm as nervous as you are Message unsent Wrote a novel in my outbox With all the things I want to say I don't want to scare you off So I delay Should I even tell you I like you? Should I go all-in? Now it's all built up with nowhere to go but Down the drain again I just can't win I can't trust myself today I might say something out loud It's always better in my head And I have my doubts
3.
They say woke might make you broke But the rancor's making me sick Eyes wide open, mind closed shut Throw it out just to see what will stick I can't think of anybody who looks like you, cries just like you Did the woke mean gliteratti Say you should use, tear free shampoo Hyperbolic astro-TERF On a ship that's sailed and needs sunk Cool as ice keep, punching down Remind us you'll never be punk Everybody's out to get you You're special and you're unique Snowfall can't come fast enough fill your mouth to silence your speech
4.
Not so loud, you're scaring the pigeons That means more to me than your words No accounting for style over substance Take the hole then cut into turds Not the voice of a generation Not the silent majority Not so big and you're radiating Lots of small dick energy All red faced and misunderstood get backgammon, I don't play your game Get set up and knock down the peace it's Not taboo, you're acting insane You stand up for those with everything I try to talk and you interrupt Kiss those boots some more and then tell me How you're silenced when you wont shut up
5.
Kept that dirty secret Bottled up inside Said you'd take it with you On the day you die And that's tonight I'm trying to save your life tonight But nothing's going right I'm rushing to be by your side I pray I'm there on time Hold on for a moment Hold off for a while Don't you put this phone down As I cover miles And I say I'm trying to save your life Hope that I'm there on time
6.
She's not dancing, she's falling over although you couldn't tell unless you know her Or it's 2AM, this girl's a shitshow Can't convince, her she should go home Panic at the disco Manic and a schitzo Wants one more drink but the bar's long closed so she's asking strangers if they've got some at home Then she forgets she's got a boyfriend Until after she wakes in a stranger's bed
7.
This is my best knife He says hello Pierce through the flesh and Glance off the bone Here on my table Under my hand I will improve you As is my brand Doctor starting operation Make my first incision right there Don't disrupt my concentration Transformation to a nightmare

Arson 02:16
I've got plenty of bad ideas of What to do to kill time Finish that gin and I'll count you in 'cause You're my partner in crime Pass the gas and light the match we're Burning the whole place down We'll torch the gaff, it's good for a laugh Have one last smoke then we bounce No-one noticed the two dumb bastards Hauling a tank of fuel One hour later, the blue lights flash as They race their way to school
9.
The Tempest 03:08
You let the clouds open today God help anyone that's in your way Even your smile brings on the rain You know you're still my favourite weather pattern They always get the forecast wrong You're unpredictable in nature They said we'd never get along You wrecked my house and then I still forgave you Bring hell my, sweet thunder Double down and make it good Drop it like you know you should Come hell or, bad weather Bring the tumult with your flood Thunderstorm is out for blood You started up today so slow I hope this neighbourhood's insured They're trying to board up their windows They'll never stand up to a tempest like yours
10.
Shivers 02:41
keep me awake, 'cause I know what's at stake Say you like the heartache, 'cause it makes it Taste much sweeter crawl inside my head like worms my living dead girl Fangs at my neck, could you be more direct? Said you're not like the rest, and it's complex I'd guessed as much crawl inside my head like worms my living dead girl You send, shivers down my spine with Every word you whisper I'd prefer if you climbed Back inside your grave Your stranglehold, does it ever grow old? You're a sight to behold, with no soul to Hold you back now
11.
Prom Night 02:38
A shotgun wedding turned to A handgun funeral More ammo for the critics To fire right at your numbskull You're dressed up like it's prom night Where do you think you are? The paparazzi flash lights Like they did at your mum's car I left out the best part Where it's all your fault Clawed out your aeorta Rub in the salt You know I'm on your side but You're making it damn hard Just sign it off and send it Good luck and best regards
12.
I awake again To the same routine, as I go downstairs And I take a dozen pills To make me feel alright And to numb my spine This is my life, spent indoors I'm not going outside Inside my house I've got all that I need As long as my internet works you wont see me Friends used to say I'm a hermit Though I don't feel that way I don't likeBeing disturbed Unless it's me that's loud, because I prefer Night falls again It's just my light on, as I write this song 'Cause who needs dark to sleep Certainly not me, people give me creeps
13.
Penpal 02:38
I'm writing you, to say Thanks for the picture of your face I'll treasure it, always It's the greatest thing, means a lot to me I'm writing to let you know You're never really alone I'm everywhere, you go On the day we meet, you'll know everything I'm confessing, you're the best thing, Let me pretend, you're my best friend Such a blessing, unsuspecting Let us descend as the world ends I haven't heard from you in quite some time Honestly it's like I'm losing my mind Guess I have to take what, I find He meant a lot to you, I made sure no-one knew
14.
Hearts Wild 02:51
We don't do well when we're losing, do we? Your dad he always said he didn't raise a failure You know I find this all amusing Going into tilt is not a motivator We threw it all in on the flop then waited Baited breath as rivers broke their banks and flooded You never did have enough patience, baby Gamble on a pair when I come five card studded Keep your cards close to your chest Play the hand that you're dealt We play games where the hearts run Flush then fold I thought diamonds were your best friend, hey it's okay we all get a bad hand sooner or later But now I've seen the way you play and, maybe I'm having regrets about you coming to vegas
15.
This story doesn't have an end It's just dragging on and on A plot that isn't making sense And the drama's overdrawn Not selling out, and I wonder If now you doubt, this scene All together now, dear punters Get comfortable in your seats An hour in, it feels like years It's getting trashed in the reviews The audience are bored to tears And the nightmare wont conclude This plot doesn't play like the movies One shot and it all gets resolved No one walks away in the sunset No red carpet, no crowd applause
16.
One lonesome eve at the crossroads There stood a dark stranger, and when he spoke Was with a smile and arms held wide Said I've been waiting for you for a while He offered me something he said Would always stay with me 'Til my deathbed Then from his hand tickets appeared Asked if I was ready for the premier At witching hour The acrobats and wicked clowns need to devour This carnival's in town we want your saints and sinners Are welcome we'll take anyone both saints and sinners Step right up enjoy the fun inside
17.
Turn It Off 03:22
Why piss on my confidence That doesn't make any sense Doesn't make me want to improve It just puts me in a bad mood Maybe you'll see it my way When it's turned around some day Perhaps then you might think twice But don't ask me for some advice Don't hear the words, you just want a new groove Wrap up and sold and free up on youtube Put in hard work, it's really quite sickening Time to shut up, obey you conditioning Hones-tly I, can't can't see how you're glued to Every-thing else, except what I do do I've had enough, how do I stop this thing Turn that shit off, I know you're not listening Maybe that's why bands round here Never blow up and disappear Too easy to ridicule Effort's never percieved as cool Even with the things I've seen It still gets under my skin If you'd tried to get along I wouldn't have wrote this song
