"You don't get to know me, and you never did"
That was her last line of defense
I barely heard the sound
Felt a sting, hit the ground
Laid out in my state of penitence

"You don't get to have me," like she needed to say
But she wanted me to stay down this time
She stood over the kill
Just to show me her will
Then she fled from the scene of the crime

Well I didn't know a thing of her fragility
And I don't know how I fell into this trap
Should a lover or a friend
Meet this kind of end?
Cornered, she turned and attacked

She used her hurt and loneliness like currency
Minted in some dark place in her mind
Maybe only I could see
But it was counterfeit to me
Taken as payment in kind

Melody

You say how its going?  I say I'm with you.

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is dangerous.

My brother went to war, never came back what a poor soul, let's come together and find a truth

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is dangerous.

I want to thank you for being my neighbor
I want to thank you for being my best friend
I want to thank you for being there for me cause you know...

Chorus:
Melody is danger, Melody is danger, Melody danger dangerous. Yeah dangerous 
Melody is danger  ........... dangerous

You Know Yourself

Best Part Of My Life
 
Wish I could turn back the page and have a look at what I did with some regret though knowing you is the best part of my life.   

Chorus:  
Soul searcher how have you done so far? 
Have you lost your star to follow?   
Maybe we just need to breath and live. 
Is there more to give or feed on or borrow?

Wish I knew where to start, I realize we live in a cigar shaped box, smokey towers looms over us all.

Chorus

Don't mind the view, just pay your dues, keep it spinning out 
How it feels so naturally flowing, I'm in the dark and I don't know where I'm going.

Chorus.

Wish I could turn back the page and have a look at what I did with some regret.
(Though knowing you is the best part of my life.) x 3

Chorus:
What you give - all due respect, share my love, my loving thought, Would you dare x3

Out of helium my voice is more normal, it's our work in progress.  
Kind of like the feeling kissing you if I could, it would be so formal. x2

My loving thought, would you dare....

Follow the cue toward a better culture, it's our work in progress.
