Stay Together For The Kids (Blink 182 cover)

Lyrics: 
I wish I knew how to let this out
Oh, how I wish I could top this now
Perhaps I'm nervous, lacking courage
We live like wires in machines
We speak like monsters in our sleep
Come waste a day 'cause I'm wasting away

You know I can't relate 
and don't know what to say
That's how it's supposed to be 
so I'm told, so I'm preached
You got in the way once they got in your head
All are memories you'd like to forget

I've got got got got got got a devil in my pocket
and I know the fault is mine 
for meeting you while in diguise
what can we do, but work to forget
about every choice that was wrong to regret
let me introduce myself
as the boy you used to know so well
while I rest along the bottom
so quick to decay and so quickly forgotten
I'll be a modern beethoven
and live in the notes of the songs I've left you

I'd rather be seen through narrowed eyes
Behind your face is no place to hide
Perhaps I'm weak, I toss in my sleep
Everything we always knew we meant 
comes back to crush us in the end
at least I've paid all my debts, my loves, and respects

You know I can't relate 
and don't know what to say
That's how it's supposed to be 
so I'm told, so I'm preached
You got in the way once they got in your head
All are memories you'd like to forget

I've got got got got got got a devil in my pocket
and I know the fault is mine 
for meeting you while in diguise
what can we do, but smirk and forget
about every choice that was wrong to regret
let me introduce myself
as the boy you used to know so well
while I rest along the bottom
so quick to decay and so quickly forgotten
I'll be a modern beethoven
and live in the notes of the songs I've left them
 
Who will be there to judge
the end of our hatred and love
there is a beast within us all
Look at the land across the sea
it's more than we will ever need
but we watch the waves with a grain of salt
because none of them can take us home

Code Duello

My hands were made for good and evil
but they've grown tired
And I can't shake this fever
I've lost the softness in my throat
Yeah, the softness you'll never know
I'd do everything just to see you here.
I'd do anything just to see the fear
when I tell you, when I tell you
this is just the beggining.
I'll write to ease this soul that I have found
though I'm too modest to condem myself
The truth won't bend for anyone
it's only there to break your fall
I wish I could explain how I got down here
but my words would slurr 
before they reached your ears
I'll be nothing, I'll be nothing more 
than a stranger at the door

We all play along to a simple tune
only if there's no way we can lose
We're last in line and last to survive
but at least we feel alive
My words will fall with their soulless hook
into the lines and pages of an empty book
We all know I'm no good at speeches
and you're making me speechless

Now these tables are turned and these lessons learned
We're here all alone, a place where no one knows
Soon, I'll forget you like a dream
and hang you in a picture frame
If our purpose was shown and easy to find
would we endure our roles or hang nailed by his side
but if you hear, yeah if you hear these words
then it's only getting worse

We all play along to a simple tune
only if there's no way we can lose
We're last in line and last to survive
but at least we feel alive
My words will fall with their soulless hook
into the lines and pages of an empty book
We all know I'm no good at speeches
and you're making me speechless
