Mad About You

Snail's Pace

My Big Stupid Heart

Mr. Hindsight

Almost Perfect

Who Am I Kiddin'?

You dig into me like a drill made out of glass
Digging deeper for blood and pain just like striking oil
You break off the worst of you under my skin
Infection setting in like stains on soiled sheets

I looked so hard at it, I thought that I might go blind
I choked so hard on it, I thought that I might die
It’s your fault
I tore it all down until I found my foundation
I tore it all down and sorted out your accusations 
It’s your fault

Oh I’m not broken, but you tried to break me in
Snap off and disregard everything that won’t fit
Fill in the spaces that you think are incomplete
Pouring insecurities, spilling into all the parts of me

I looked so hard at it, I thought that I might go blind
I choked so hard on it, I thought that I might die
It’s your fault
I tore it all down until I found my foundation
I tore it all down and sorted out your accusations 
It’s your fault

(Looking back on it now, I know that I had my share of the blame)
(But I know where I was wrong, and you’ll never be able to say the same)

You put your foot down to keep me on my back
Driving your stiletto heels through the heart of your own sickness
You made me wrong just so you could be right again
Feeding me your poison, ravenously feeding your own ego

I looked so hard at it, I thought that I might go blind
I choked so hard on it, I thought that I might die
It’s your fault
I tore it all down until I found my foundation
I tore it all down and sorted out your accusations 
It’s your fault

It’s your fault 
It’s your fault
It’s your fault

It's Not Me It's You

I would have thought it was obvious to you
How can you seem so oblivious to me?
You're so far gone that my angels can't keep up 
Hearts like this are so few and far between

I can't believe that your wall's been built so high
With expectations that no one could achieve
You isolate everything that could break through
And cling to safety that's only make-believe

Somewhere between isolation and protection
we crashed this side of desperation
Now we're here are all together, and all alone...

I'm not as disposable as you think.
There is worth in this willingness to persist
You get the message but you miss the point
You push aside what you think you will not miss
Until you kill, baby, kill

Trust is just another bullet in the gun 
And you swear that you wont get shot again
Scorpion naively hoist on to your back
Suspicious that the sting may sink into your skin

Somewhere between isolation and protection
we crashed this side of desperation
Now we're here are all together, and all alone...

I'm not as disposable as you think.
There is worth in this willingness to persist
You get the message but you miss the point
You push aside what you think you will not miss
Until you kill, baby, kill

Conditioned completely to validate yourself
Rendered you impotent to your own selfishness
Tempered to keep abandon at arms length
Careful not to fall into a love you can't resist

Somewhere between isolation and protection 
We crashed this side of desperation
Now we're here are all together, and all alone...

I'm not as disposable as you think.
There is worth in this willingness to persist
You get the message but you miss the point
You push aside what you think you will not miss
Until you kill, baby,  kill

Somewhere between isolation and protection 
We crashed this side of desperation
Now we're here are all together, and all alone...

Until you kill, baby, kill
kill, baby, kill
kill, baby, kill
kill, baby, kill

Kill, Baby, Kill

The Blackest Sheep

My skin is so thick by now
That it's almost armor
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
My heart's getting harder
Everyday is like going to war
This battle inside my head
Everyday it tries to settle the score
And I'm hanging by a thread

And another one's down 
Another night comes to an end 
But it starts over again
Another day to feed the ravens

All the talk is so damned loud
That it's mostly static
Focus my will to drown it out
Push through the havoc
But every word is like swinging a sword
A dull blade that won't break skin
Just leaving bruises and chipping at bone
It slows me down but I won't give in

'cause it's another one down
Another night comes to an end 
But it starts over again 
Another day to feed the ravens 

It's another one down
Another night comes to an end, yeah
It always starts over again
Just another day to feed the ravens

Another challenger in the ring 
The crowd cheers for slaughter
They're gonna get their money's worth
Come hell or high water
Another round another swing
Another one here to take a shot
It's all the same another would be king 
Here to give all that he's got

But it's another one down
Just another night that comes to an end
And yet it all starts again
We're just here to feed to ravens
