EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WITH NO CLOTHES
SO I’M GOING TO THE SHOW WITH MY BROS AGAIN
AND I’M DRINKING DESERT ROSE ‘TIL THE BAR IS ALL BUT CLOSED
AND I’M RUNNING OUT TO THROW UP IN THE SNOW AGAIN
AND THEY’LL PULL ME TO MY FEET AND SAY LETS GET SOMETHING TO EAT
AND MAYBE LATER WE CAN MEET UP WITH SOME OTHER FRIENDS
AND I’LL SAY I THINK I’M BEAT AND STUMBLE DOWN THE EMPTY STREET
UNTIL I FIND THE STEPS THAT LEAD TO YOUR APARTMENT AND FALL ASLEEP
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT SOMETIMES THAT’S HOW IT GOES
THEY SAY THAT I SHOULD LET IT GO AND TRY TO MAKE AMENDS
BUT WHEN I ASKED YOU TO DISCLOSE YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT I’D BE OPPOSED
SO YOU SUPPOSED THAT I WOULD CLOSE MY EYES AND JUST PRETEND
IT WAS RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE I SMELLED A RAT IN THE OVERGROWTH THAT HAD BEEN
FEEDING ON THE DECOMPOSING PIECES THAT THE CROWS HAD LEFT BEHIND
I GRABBED HIM BY THE TAIL AND HELD HIS THROAT TO STOP HIM FLAILING
BEAT HIM GRAVEL BLACK AND ICY BLUE AND LEFT HIM WHERE NO ONE WOULD FIND
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHEN I SLAM THE FRONT DOOR CLOSED
THAT I’M SINKING TO THE LOWEST OF THE LOWS AGAIN
AND I’LL WALLOW IN MY WOES DRIPPING TEARS LIKE A LEAKY HOSE
AND DRINKING OLD CROW OUT THE BOTTLE ON THE OTTOMAN
AND WHEN MY HEART BEGINS TO SLOW I’M DOING EVERY BIT OF BLOW
THAT I CAN FIND IN HERE ‘TILL I START TO PLATEAU AGAIN
AND I’M WATCHING SPIDERS GROW IN THE LIGHTS THAT BARLEY GLOW
AND THROWING BOTTLES OUT INTO THE STREET BELLOW AGAIN
WELL I REALLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN NOT TO BELIEVE A HEART OF STONE THAT TELLS ME
WHEN I SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T BLEED AND GREED’S A HEAVY LOAD BUT NEED IS
HARD TO CARRY FOR A FLAME THAT FIZZLED OUT IN BOREDOM’S RAIN AND
WATERED DOWN THE SEEDS OF SHAME THAT TRIED TO GROW BUT DIED INSIDE THE WEEDS
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS

I KNOW THAT YOU DON’T EVEN LIKE TO
TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE ME TO DO TO YOU I KNOW YOU BY NOW
WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN
YOUR’E JUST LETTING ALL THE WORDS INSIDE OF YOU FALL OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
AND THAT’S NOT WHAT IT’S ABOUT
BUT I CAN’T KEEP IT IN WITHOUT THE PIECES OF ME I COULD DO WITHOUT
FLOATING AWAY AND THEN YOU SAY I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE NOW WHOAH
PICK ME UP AND SPIN ME AROUND WHOAH
KICK ME DOWN AND RATTLE MY BONES AROUND
I JUST WANT TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND
AND WAKE UP WHEN I’M COOKING IN THE SUN
I’M DONE WITH LOOKING FOR THE SOUND WHOAH
OH BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND WHOAH
SOME DAYS I FEEL JUST LIKE AN ANIMAL
IN A CAGE IN THE BACK OF YOUR YARD
IT’S SO HARD TO BE THE ONE THAT’S ON GUARD
AND SO I WALKED IN CIRCLES HERE FOR HOURS
BUT I NEVER FOUND THE BONES I BURIED
UNDERNEATH THE TREE WHERE YOU WOULD
SLEEP RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND DREAM
ABOUT ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FEEDING ON YOUR HEART
AND WAKE UP WHEN YOU FALL APART
AND THEN REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE WHOAH
PICK ME UP AND SPIN ME AROUND WHOAH
KICK ME DOWN AND RATTLE MY BONES AROUND
I JUST WANT TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND
AND WAKE UP WHEN I’M COOKING IN THE SUN
I’M DONE WITH LOOKING FOR THE SOUND WHOAH
OH BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND WHOAH

EVERYONE’S GOT SOMETHING GROWING IN THEM
THEY’D RATHER NOT KNOW ABOUT WHEN THAT
GROWING IS KNOWING IS GOING WITHOUT AGAIN
I WOULD RATHER GO OUT IN A BLOW OUT OF MY DOUBT AGAIN
I’LL SHOUT IT OUT SOMETHING’S DYING IN ME
I’M TRYING TO SEE WITH THE LIGHTS OUT
I’LL SWEAT IT OUT ONE OF THESE NIGHTS YOU’LL SEE
I’M RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME IN THE WHITEOUT
OOOO THE KING OF THE RATS AND MICE FOUND THE BOTTLE WITH A BITE OUT
OOOO THE THING ABOUT THAT IT’S ONLY RIGHT TO STAY AWAKE ANOTHER NIGHT OUT
OOOO THE MORE THAT I DIE IN MY DREAMS THE MORE I WANT TO FALL ASLEEP
OOOO EVERY TIME I WAKE UP NOW I TAKE A BOW
WHAT A CREEP
EVERYONE’S GOT SOMETHING KEEPING THEM GOING
THAT’S SLOWING THAT DREAM FROM SHOWING UP
I LOST IT SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY
I’M NEVER GONNA FIND IT IF IT’S KEEPING ME FROM GROWING UP
I’LL SHOUT IT OUT SOMETHING’S DYING IN ME
I’M TRYING TO SEE WITH THE LIGHTS OUT
I’LL SWEAT IT OUT ONE OF THESE NIGHTS YOU’LL SEE
I’M RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME IN THE WHITEOUT
OOOO I FOUND ANOTHER PIECE THAT DOESN’T FIT BUT I’M HOLDING ON TO IT
OOOO I’M LETTING IT GO I KNOW THAT EVERYONE I KNOW JUST WANTS ME TO ADMIT IT
OOOO THE MORE THAT I DIE IN MY DREAMS THE MORE I WANT TO FALL ASLEEP
OOOO EVERY TIME I WAKE UP NOW I MAKE A VOW
I CAN’T KEEP

I THINK IT MIGHT BE RAINING IN OUR ROOM
EITHER THAT OR I’M INSANE AND IN A DREAM WITH YOU
BUT ANYWAY WHEN I WOKE UP I COULDN’T WALK ACROSS THE FLOOR
SO WOULD YOU MIND EXPLAINING WHY THE FIRE ALWAYS BURNS
WE NEVER FEED IT ANYTHING WE PUT IT OUT AND
TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS BUT THE NEXT NIGHT
IT’S ALL BACK ON WHEN WE RETURN FOR MORE
I’M NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT
AND I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN A HOUSE THAT’S BIG ENOUGH TO LOSE YOU IN
I JUST WANT TO CRAWL INSIDE A WALL AND HIDE THERE IN YOUR SKIN
LET ME IN SO DEEP THAT YOU CAN’T KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU BEGIN
‘CAUSE I’M NOT SLEEPING
I SWEAR I HEARD THE TRAIN GO BY IT HASN’T COME IN YEARS
WE THOUGHT OUR HIDING PLACE WAS SAFE NO ONE WOULD THINK TO LOOK IN HERE
BUT EVERYWHERE WE GO SOMEBODY KNOWS WE JUST CAN’T DISAPPEAR
AND I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN A HOUSE THAT’S BIG ENOUGH TO LOSE YOU IN
I JUST WANT TO CRAWL INSIDE A WALL AND HIDE THERE IN YOUR SKIN
LET ME IN SO DEEP THAT YOU CAN’T KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU BEGIN
‘CAUSE I’M NOT SLEEPING

I USED TO SAY HELLO TO YOU NOW I JUST WALK ON BY
YOU USED TO SAY HELLO TO ME TOO NOW I JUST WANT TO DIE
WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
YOU USED TO PLAY THIS TRICK ON ME AND NOW IT’S COMING BACK TO YOU
I’M SO SICK OF THE SILENCE NOW THAT I CAN BARELY SPEAK
I’M SO SICK OF THE VIOLENCE BABY THAT I CAN BARELY EAT
AND I’M SO SICK OF BEING SICK OF YOU TELLING ME THAT YOUR’E SICK AND TIRED
OF WISHING YOU COULD FALL ASLEEP BUT YOUR DREAMS JUST KEEP ON GETTING ME WIRED
WHEN I GO OUTSIDE I JUST WANT TO HIDE FROM THE SUN
WHEN I STAY INSIDE I DON’T HAVE ANY FUN
WHEN I STAY UP LATE I CAN BARELY BREATH
NOW WHEN I GET BACK HOME I JUST REALLY WANT TO LEAVE
AND SO I’M SAYING
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL YOURSELF
THAT YOU SHOULD FIND SOMEBODY ELSE
TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL WHEN YOUR’E ALONE
I WAS THE DEVIL ON YOUR SHOULDER AND YOU FOUND ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR OWN
YOU PUT A SPELL ON ME AND NOW I’M YOURS
WHEN YOUR TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD REALLY STAY INDOORS
‘CAUSE IT’S GETTING TO ME ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND ON THE TOWN
TRYING TO GET HIGH BUT I’M JUST GETTING BY
I’M ALIVE AND IT’S GETTING ME DOWN
AND SO I’M SAYING
MAYBE YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF
OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET SOME HELP
WITH TAKING YOUR OWN LIFE NO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE
I WAS THE DEVIL ON YOUR SHOULDER AND YOU FOUND ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR OWN

I THINK I FOUND A SUBSTANCE
TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE SHE DOESN’T
I THOUGHT I WAS ABOVE IT
BUT I LOVE IT YEAH I WASN’T
AND OOH IT’S TAKING TO ME
IT’S BREAKING RUNNING THROUGH ME
I’M SHAKING ON THE WEEKEND
I’M FALLING OFF THE DEEP END OOH
DON’T BLAME THE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE THINGS YOU DO
DON’T GIVE UP TAKING CHANCES IN THE WAR ON YOU
DON’T LISTEN TO THE ONES WHO SAY
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GO THROUGH
WHEN YOU WAKE UP TO FACE THE FACTS
THE FACE YOU SEE’S NOT WHO YOU KNEW
I THINK I FOUND ANOTHER WAY
TO FAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
I’LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU
I WON’T WAKE UP TO MAKE IT GO AWAY
BUT OOH IT’S CALLING TO ME
I GUESS YOU NEVER KNEW ME
TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD TRY TO FORGET WHEN YOU SAY
DON’T BLAME THE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE THINGS YOU DO
DON’T GIVE UP TAKING CHANCES IN THE WAR ON YOU
DON’T LISTEN TO THE ONES WHO SAY
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GO THROUGH
WHEN YOU WAKE UP TO FACE THE FACTS
THE FACE YOU SEE IS SOMEONE NEW

TWENTY ONE DAYS TO FORM A HABIT
IT’S THERE WAITING FOR YOU TO REACH OUT AND GRAB IT
YOU CAN HAVE IT IF YOU WANT IT
MAKE A HOME AND LEAVE IT HAUNTED
TWENTY ONE WAYS TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE
DAY YOU TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE
PLACE YOU SAW THE PIECE YOU NEEDED
TO FIND THE PROOF THAT YOU SUCCEEDED
BEAT IT OUT OF THEM UNTIL THEY
TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU CAN’T SAY
TO THE ONES WHO NEVER LISTEN
TO THE SOUND OF YOUR CONDITION
WHICH ONE MAKES YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM
MAKES YOU FEEL YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THEM
GIVES YOU YET ANOTHER REASON
YOU CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE SEASON
ALIVE LIKE THEY SAID YOU WOULD BE
WHEN YOU GREW TO BE WHO THEY BELIEVE
WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOUR’E STARTING TO DIE
ON THE DAY THAT YOU STARTED TO TRY NOT TO LIE TO YOURSELF
TWENTY ONE DAYS TO START A FRIENDSHIP
TWENTY ONE WAYS TO TRY TO END IT
YOU CAN’T MEND IT IF YOU BEND IT
‘TILL YOU BREAK IT IN THE END IT’S
BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST IT
THAN TO WONDER WHAT IT COSTS TO
SPEND ANOTHER WINTER SAFE AND
WARM INSIDE A STORM THAT’S BREAKING
THROUGH THE DORMANT SAFETY THAT YOU
SLEEP WITH TRYING NOT TO WAKE YOU
FROM A DREAM ABOUT A REASON
TO MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER SEASON
ALIVE LIKE THEY SAID YOU WOULD BE
WHEN YOU GREW TO BE WHO THEY BELIEVE
WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOUR’E STARTING TO DIE
ON THE DAY THAT YOU STARTED TO TRY NOT TO LIE TO YOURSELF

IT’S ALL OVER IT’S ALL OVER ME
TIME IN SUSPENSION DAYS UNDER INSPECTION
I’M FINDING OUT WHAT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO SEE
SEEMS KINDA FUNNY AND I WANT TO BE
SHOWERED IN FLOWERS AND DEVOURED BY CENTIPEDES
INSTEAD OF TRADING TIME FOR PAPER THAT JUST NEVER SEEMS TO GET ME WHAT I NEED
AND IT’S ALL COMING DOWN IT’S ALL COMING DOWN
IT’S ALL OVER WERE ALL SOBER NOW
IT’S SO EASY OUR PARENTS DID IT WE’LL LEARN HOW
IT’S ALREADY STARTING TO GET BETTER WE’LL SAY
LET’S START WORKING ON WHAT WE DIDN’T YESTERDAY
‘CAUSE SOMETHING IN THE AIR TONIGHT FEELS LIKE
IT’S TIME TO REWIND TO WHEN WE DIDN’T THINK TWICE ABOUT
YESTERDAY OR WHAT WOULD MAKE TOMORROW COME
AND IT’S ALL COMING DOWN IT’S ALL COMING DOWN
LINED WITH INFECTION TIME’S SLOW PROGRESSION
YOUR’E FINDING OUT WHY EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE
FINE WITH LETTING GO OF WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE
THE MIND DOESN’T GET YOU FIRST THE BODY WILL EVENTUALLY
SO I WANT TO LAY DOWN IN THE LEAVES UNTIL I START TO TURN TO FOOD FOR THE TREES
AND IT’S ALL COMING DOWN IT’S ALL COMING DOWN
