I can speak two languages 
I can, I-I I can 
I can speak two languages 
I can see you in a crowd, you pretend like you’ve never seen me before 
Yeah, you’re so cool 
You’re so perfect 
You got my eyes to the floor ‘cause I can, I can pretend that you’re news 
I can try my best to let my open mind be used 
I can be a puppet 
I can let my tippy toes take me past 5’10'' 
Yeah, I can loose myself in running miles, throw up, turn red 
Yeah I can, I can speak two languages 
Sometimes it feels like they're keeping tabs up on my head 
They laugh and sneer, and then they never speak to me again 
They told me grow up, use this shit for my development 
Yeah 
I can hold my brothers hand 
I can, I-I can 
I can hold my brothers hand 
I’ll see him next fall, then walk up asking how he's been 
Some of you don’t think compassion fits the coolest trends ‘cause I see people takin’ years to try to fit right in 
Changing bodies, changing clothes, just changing’ everything 'cause they want nothing more than to be seen as something new 
And then you wash ‘em up with bleach so they can act like you 
Well, I will, I-I I will 
I will hold my brothers hands 
When he needs it 
I won’t make his needs my back-up plan 
Thats the thing with crafting people in your image, man 
You see the end result, you ain’t seeing potential friends 
Yeah 
I can speak two languages 
I can, I-I I can 
I can speak two languages 
One is love and one is hate 
They are not opposites, they’re the same thing 
It’s just how you choose to look at it 
You can do some harm by overusing both of them 
I’m preaching because over time I have burnt all my skin 
I can’t talk about the things that hurt and sting like shit 
I’m a man, so I can’t cry, I’ll just keep it all in 
I can speak these languages 
I can fluently speak 
I can speak these languages 
I can, I-I I can 
I can speak these languages 
I can fluently speak 
I can speak these languages 
I can, I-I I can 
I can speak these languages 
I got strings tied 'round my fingers 
I see them relative to you 
I got things that I’ll remember until we are out of school 
I don’t care about the people that seem to wanna fade away 
I got strings around my fingers 
I won’t forget the things that matter 
I see you walk from the kitchen, slide Into our warm room 
I think this is really heaven 
I think I died and that’s the truth

5║LANGUAGES

You left a hairpin in my bed so I went to sleep with you swimming in my head 
I had a dream that night that we waited until the morning light, then you ran away with me 
You wore a sundress 
You had a flower in your hair 
You wore this sundress 
Nothing can compare 
You held me as we walked through dusk 
Yeah 
The colors mixed, the air was light 
There was pink clouds and trees 
Grass and weeds grew past our knees when you ran away with me 
You wore a sundress 
You had a flower in your hair 
You wore this sundress 
Nothing can compare 
You wore this sundress 
Close my mouth, breathe in 
In love 
You wore this sundress 
I don’t wanna wake up 
Yeah, yeah 
I’m hanging on to every sensation I’m feeling ‘cause I don’t know how long I can 
Yeah, well if you laugh and stop me from hugging you, you’ll have to tie my hands 
‘Cause you in that sundress (Sundress...) 
Close my mouth, breathe in 
In love 
You wore a sundress (Sundress...) 
I don’t wanna to wake up 
You wore a sundress (Sundress...) 
Close my mouth, breathe in 
In love 
You wore that sundress (Sundress...) 
I don’t wanna wake up

4║sundress

She had a gun 
She had me runnin’ 
She shot me down 
She shot me down 
She said “Go ‘head and put your hands up 
Show me how you love, yeah this a robbery 
I’m takin’ every part of you 
Your hands, your face, your property 
Yeah, get you on the floor while looking up and kissing up to me
You leave? I’ll kill myself” she said 
I stayed ‘till midnight in her bed just to save her 
Oh, save her 
That got real old 
‘Till she could only speak these empty nothings in a whisper tone 
Waking up in solitary probably would have been a blessing 
Instead God saw his tired Wesley sneakin’ ‘cause she had a gun
She had me runnin’ 
She shot me down 
She shot me down 
She had a gun 
She sent me runnin’ 
She shot me down 
She shot me down 
She said, “Go ahead and leave me 
See what happens 
I know all your friends and they all love me 
I could tell them anything, a lie, like how you hit me 
How would they believe what you say? 
Just imagine, ‘Dude, okay, but she had tears when she came…’ 
And don’t forget about your lovely parents and of course mine 
We spend so much time together, practically intertwined 
So, what I say to them gets back to you and fucks up your life 
Now come back over here and say, in high school, that I’m your wife” 
How can you be a good person? 
Whats it mean to be a good person? 
How can I be a good person? 
How can I be a good person? 
How can I be a good person? (She’s got me on a leash I don’t know what to do) 
How can I be a good person?

3║BONNIE AND CLYDE

Save me from this hell 
I think I’m just a little sideways 
I maybe could spend more time with you 
But she’s got on a leash 
I don’t know what to do 
I’m sitting here, two years later 
Here’s how to lose every friend you have 
It’s hard science or a riddle, it’s a process that involves this: Be spineless 
It’ll take more than faith 
I’m still praying every single day 
I hoped she canceled our plans 
I hope she up and moved the hell away 
I’m sitting here, two years smarter 
Wanna show all you that I’m strong 
You say it won’t take a lifetime, that you understand me 
but I’ll still try 
Are you ready? 
Three kicks for the time 
Two for the lying 
One for the people waitin’ up for me, crying 
I’m not superman 
I think that I was a bully 
I was being bullied, though 
The preachers kid ain’t holy 
There’s kids that think that I’m so cool durning the summer 
But Cathy really is, I’m just the deans younger brother 
My point is this, it’s simply everything that I am saying: I made out with devils 
I was caught in sin and burden 
How can you be a leader and a coward? 
How can you be a leader and a coward? 
Why is it that they’re so forgiving? 
Do they understand that I wasn’t living? 
Do I need to say sorry ‘cause I know I did something wrong? 
Yeah, yeah 
I need to get this of my chest 
I need a friend to lean on 
Oh 
Forgive me 
I’m a sinner 
I’m a sinner 
I was cut and divided in pieces 
I was two places at once 
I was nice but depleted 
Fake leaders asked me to follow 
My father said I was wrong to 
Said that the people that latch on to you only want something from you, and you gave it 
Then, when you want it, they’ve spent it 
Dad 
Yeah, she sure spent time I gave her 
I want that year back

2║HOW TO LOSE YOUR FRIENDS

Little kid, got his cape, got his mask, oh 
I see him puffing out his chest like a hero 
Little does he know there’s some things that aren’t in his control 
I’m loving every second hearing what I can’t see 
Of love and life there is some uncertainty 
If I was him, I would pretend I was a hero for my whole life, instead of a freak show (Instead of a freak show) 
They got me swimming in a debt pool of doubt and if I can’t be with her, I think that would be telling 
Why can’t I just be a kid without a worry? 
They wanna take me 
I got to shake free 
I’m seeing everything like lessons in a classroom, teaching me how to be happy and be rich 
You can’t be both unless you’re really fuckin’ lucky, and that just ain’t me 
I got to shake free 
He’s lacing up his shoes 
He sees his villains through the doorway 
How is he so calm when he might lose? 
He might lose 
His shield is keeping him from hurting 
He’s got a confident smirk 
I’m so jealous of his posture 
If he won’t lose, maybe I won’t, too 
There’s levels to it, and theres things to be spelled out 
I gotta make a choice and fast ‘cause that’s just how this world works
It doesn’t wait for your slow self 
Hold your hand, oh 
You’re all alone 
That kid imagines that the evil always loses 
What age will he turn when he finds out the real truth? 
I’m not a pessimist, I have specific points of view 
I with I thought through that ignorance of his youth
