BANDAGES and DAMAGES

by Blueprint National

Lyrics:

Life just hit me harder than a railroad
Train so heavy, hoping it won’t implode
Gotta’ walk the graded hill to a plateau

Creep along the floor on my tip toes
Hundred mouse traps snapping down their handle
Breathing stuck outside the cover of a pillow

And I’m looking for the bandages
Open wounds, broken bones and damages
I’m getting good at hiding this
I’m looking for the bandages
Open wounds, broken bones and damages
I’m getting good at hiding this
So good…

Been a non-believer but I swear to god I feel the devil
Climbing up my back and he’s hanging on like no tomorrow
Sorrow, feeling hollow, borrowed
Like that only friend who wears your favorite t-shirt but you know you won’t get it back

Around my neck, it’s a tourniquet
Choking all my oxygen
Stealing every last breath
Taking every second of my breath
Falling slowly off my lips
Taking every second of my breath

I’m looking for the bandages
(whoa)
You know, I’m getting good at hiding this
(whoa)
I’m looking for the bandages
Open wounds, broken bones and damages
I’m getting good at hiding this…

Life just hit me harder than a railroad
Train so heavy, hoping it won’t implode
Gotta’ walk the graded hill to a plateau

Creep along the floor on my tip toes
Hundred mouse traps snapping down their handle
Breathing stuck outside the cover of a pillow

I’m looking for the bandages
I’m getting good at hiding this
(whoa)
I’m looking for the bandages
Open wounds, broken bones and damages
I’m getting good at hiding this
So good at hiding this…

I WISH YOU DID
by Blueprint National

Lyrics:

 I wish you did
I think I’m running out of time
I pour myself a glass a wine and think about you
I think I’m running out of steam
We fight over everything, every week, arguing, endlessly, I can’t escape this 

I hope you’re happy
I hope you live a long life
I hope that everything I said to you was taken in stride
I hope you’ve learned 
I hope it all sunk in
It’s too late babe cause
You weren’t listening then

I wish you did
We could have worked
I wouldn’t have to miss you cause missing kinda’ hurts
I wish you did
Just listen
But you didn’t understand, I wish you did…

The switch is set to overdrive
I wasn’t even half surprised we ended like this, yeah
I took all letters that I wrote
Lit them up in smoke
To dust, destruct, my words corrupted

I hope you’re happy
I hope you live a long life
I hope that everything I said to you was taken in stride
I hope you’ve learned 
I hope it all sunk in
It’s too late babe cause
You weren’t listening then

I wish you did
We could have worked
I wouldn’t have to miss you cause missing really hurts
I wish you did
Just listen
But you didn’t understand, I wish you did…

I hope you’re happy
I hope you live a long life
I hope that everything I said to you was taken in stride
I hope you’ve learned 
I hope it all sunk in
It’s too late babe cause
You weren’t listening

I wish you did
We could have worked
I wouldn’t have to miss you cause missing fucking hurts
I wish you did
Just listen
But you didn’t understand, I wish you did…

I hope you’re happy
I hope you live a long life
I hope that everything I said to you was taken in stride
I hope you’ve learned 
I hope it all sunk in
It’s too late babe cause
You weren’t listening

I Wish You Did

MOB BOSS

by Blueprint National

Lyrics:

The world is dead because of fools abusing the rules filled with ghouls,
Decaying more everyday I pray come and make them pay
Melt them witches with rain, castrate them with the propane
Lit and burning, fire curling round

Some are in despair beyond repair, broken in fear,
Beyond a hundred years long, yeah a trail of tears,
Falling off on demon ears, hearing what they wanna hear

I swear this world doesn’t make any sense
We got problems but we’re all happy living with them	       
As long as it doesn’t happen to us, we cover it up
Then we throw it in the river like we’re working for the mob boss

Mob boss…
      
They won’t discriminate, don’t make the mistake, that you’re the only
Person they won’t touch with unholy hands
Plans to take everything that they can, leave nothing for the poor man      
But dust and bones and freezing cold

Beyond the shadow, sharp teeth, and lurking
Lies a light from souls after watching
Generation fail again, leaving us in disarray

I swear this world doesn’t make any sense
We got problems but we’re all happy living with them	       
As long as it doesn’t happen to us, we cover it up
Then we throw it in the river like we’re working for the mob boss

Mob boss…

I swear this world doesn’t make any sense
We got problems but we’re all happy living with them	       
As long as it doesn’t happen to us, we cover it up
Then we throw it in the river, throw it in the river

We got problems but we’re all happy living with them	       
As long as it doesn’t happen to us, we cover it up
Then we throw it in the river like we’re working for the mob boss

This world doesn’t make any sense
We got problems and it’s over our head
We got problem, year we got problems
We got problems with the mob boss, mob boss

Transient Girl (Remix)
by Blueprint National - New Alternative

Lyrics:

Oh, we didn't take it slow 
The both of us got caught up in the middle of it all 
We opened up the door and set sail the rocket ship 
We took off in the sky and then we fell into the abyss 
And every now and then, I get a little cold 
You might give me a call and then I just hang up the phone 
Cause I don't want to deal with the things that you've been dealing
Or feel the things I've been feeling

And every time I look at you, it always comes back to me again 
You break my bones then you mend them 
And every time I look at you, it always comes back to me again 
You break my bones then you mend them

Hey, you know you made it this way 
Transient girl, why didn't you fly straight over me? 
Girl, you didn't plant your feet 
Transient girl, why didn't you fly straight over me?

Oh, I'm sleeping with a ghost 
On a cotton pillow, makeup residue I used to know 
Now how could I break the seal with other lips 
It's not easy when you've lost all the feeling you've been missing 
And I don't want to know if you've gone and done the same 
Cause I cannot image this, another bit of pain 
Don't want to be a piece of clay that's been molded 
A fire that's just been folded

And every time I look at you, it always comes back to me again 
You break my bones then you mend them 
And every time I look at you, it always comes back to me again 
You break my bones then you mend them

Hey, you know you made it this way 
Transient girl, why didn't you fly straight over me? 
Girl, you didn't plant your feet 
Transient girl, why didn't you fly straight over me?

Champion
by Blueprint National - New Alternative

Lyrics:

Caught up in the headlights
Hit you with the thunder, another world wonder

Sending out a Hail Mary
Gonna give you what you need, water for the seed

When we fall down and we stumble
Hit the ground and wonder how we tumbled

We need someone there
To catch the fall

We need a champion
To come and save us from the rest of us
Not some cheap pathetic imitation
A true defender from all of us

He’s got no time for recess
He filling up the engine with a can of bad intentions

Working every weekend
Looking to feed on the enemy

When we fall down and we stumble
Hit the ground and wonder how we tumbled

We need someone there
To catch the fall

We need a champion
To come and save us from the rest of us
Not some cheap pathetic imitation
A true defender from all of us

We need a champion
Thick skin
Thick skull
Red blooded
We need a champion
You know you brought us
You brought us to this
Yeah you brought us to this
Yeah you brought us to this
Now we need a
How did it come to this
Now we need a

We need a champion
To come and save us from the rest of us
Not some cheap pathetic imitation
A true defender from all of us
