Callus words like these Won't let me be
Won't let me breathe no
Push Back

We're more than we seem
Like fireflies in sunlit skies
They kept us in a jar
(NO!) They don't know who we are
And we won't go easy

Sometimes I think about my life
And all the time spent standing in a line

Burn with me
Show 'em what we need
A little room to breath
We need some oxygen

I've seen better days than my face would claim
But then I remembered a dying ember

Watching as it settled the brush into a towering flame
And I saw my potential
 
Sometimes I think about my life
And all the time spent standing in line

Burn with me
Show 'em what we need
A little room to breath
We need some oxygen

All the time
Constantly reminded
And we'll come to find
We need some oxygen

Oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen 
oxygen

He gripped the hammer and he swung
The Blacksmith forged the iron lung
Save your pity
We're still young and
We don't need it
(We don't need it)

Anxiously our hearts would pound
We'd fallen behind but we're picking up ground
Spiteful words won't slow us down
We don't need it
(We don't need it)

Burn with me
Show 'em what we need
A little room to breath
We need some oxygen

Burn with me
Show 'em what we need
A little room to breath
We need some oxygen

All the time
Constantly reminded
And we'll come to find
We need some oxygen

Foreword

Oxygen

Delighting the guests
So self-impressed 
You didn’t see me
Too caught up by your insecurities

Your life’s but a stage
And my podium waits
(See Me)
Now look
I took your audience

Just like I said
Cut the drama
I’m just two steps ahead

Hands Down
Lets just do what we know
You keep the tempo, honey
I steal the show
To a new low
Ego battered and bruised
You play the victim
Ill pour the salt in the wound

I admit it
I’m coming clean
Kidnapped your guardian angel
now he’s working for me

I am like the quicksand
I’ll pull you down 
Then throw you a rope just out of reach
to watch you struggle and drown

(oh)
Just like I said
Cut the drama
I’m just two steps ahead

Hands Down
Lets just do what we know
You keep the tempo, honey
I steal the show
To a new low
Ego battered and bruised
You play the victim
I'll pour the salt in the wound

Clearly I’m good company
Go ask your enemies
I troubled the waters
Corrupting your daughters
I do it all just to get to you
Its what I’m here to do

Hands Down
Lets just do what we know
You keep the tempo 
I steal the show
To a new low
Ego battered and bruised
You play the victim
Ill pour the salt in the wound
(Repeat)

I pour the salt in the…
I pour the salt in the wound


Hands Down

I read a story of a trainwreck  in the news
I only cried ’cause it reminded me of you

Here's to the past
Because forever never seems to last

And now I'm never gonna let you meet my friends
No, not again
‘Cause my suspicions won't end

Wait...
Just Wait...
Im gonna catch you in the act someday

Graceful and refined
You're walking a tightrope in my mind
Careful when you go
‘Cause you never know
I could be all that you needed 

Its over now
Everybody knows
We heard it all
Through Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Paper Walls

Does he give you just what you need?
You have your white picket fence
I kept the splinters you left

But, Wait
Just Wait
I'm gonna catch you in the act someday

(Fa La La La) x4
Now sing me your sad, sad song
About how awful you feel for all the horrid things you've done

But, Wait
Just Wait
I'm gonna catch you in the act someday

So, Graceful and refined
You're walking the tightrope on my spine
Careful when you go
‘Cause you never know
I could be all that you needed 

Its over now
Everybody knows
We heard it all
Through Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Paper Walls

Don't cry to me (Repeat x3)
Go cry to him (Repeat x5)

Its over now
Everybody knows
We heard it all
Through Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Paper walls
Paper walls 
(It’s over now)
Paper walls 
(It’s over now)
Paper walls 
(It’s over now)
Paper walls 
(It’s over now)
Paper walls 


Paper Walls

So take a drink on me
And I will make you believe
In the plan that I've devised

You are the deputy
So we can guarantee
That they won't suspect our ties

Now let the whisky flow
Let your tonsils swim
Let the harlots work their estrogen

and in the morning we'll leave, and lift the cash 
And we'll take this town for everything it has 

Then we'll sit there
And just split shares

I'm the stranger (dancing with danger)
I'll make you trust me
Then hit you where it hurts
(Sorry I can't stay)
Because the vagrant has no home
and the tumbleweed must roam

(you're gonna die)
(gonna hang)
(Today's the day)
No, I best be on my way

You couldn't pin this on me
with gun in my hand
and the dead man at my feet 

I could have heard his plea
I could have set him free
but I don't do charity

And yeah the devil on my shoulder doubles as a lawyer
I get tricked easily

You won't catch me
I'm still breathing

I'm the stranger dancing with danger
I'll make you trust me, then hit you where it hurts
(Sorry I can't stay)
Because the vagrant has no home
and the tumbleweed must roam

We danced the masquerade ball
Me and my smoking pistol
Cause in this business, man
Two-faces are better than one

I give the papers what they want
Now for the (Piece de resistance!)
I laid the lawman out
And shot the place to hell

Wake my eyes
A pale sunrise
For those I've hurt
(For all my lies)

I wrote them down
So when I'm gone
My legacy will carry on ˇ˝(repeat)

I'm the stranger dancing with danger
I'll make you trust me, then hit you where it hurts
(So sorry I can't stay)
Because the vagrant has no home
and the tumbleweed must roam

I'm the stranger dancing with danger
I'll make you trust me, then hit you where it hurts
(So sorry I can't stay)
Because the vagrant has no home
and the tumbleweed must...
(Sorry I can’t stay)
 

The Vagrant

Hard work pays 
Like a slot machine that nobody plays 
Yeah, im an addict with a habit 
Just begging for some change 
It’s strange 
How i see 
This degree of bad luck as only probability 

I Testify 
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 

‘Cause I’m five for five out of lost rounds and letdowns 
If life is a test 
I cheated off an idiot 

And everything I lay my hands on seems to turn to bronze 
And to make a good impression i just leave myself at home 

I Testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 
Now Testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 

And I'm… 
Just like a paralytic mime 
Its my time to shine 
Its my turn to speak 
When my knees went weak 
I shivered and quivered 
I had all the right words but iI never delivered 

Testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 
Now testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 

'Cause Ive got a lot of shit to prove 
Campaigning to an empty room 
So who is with me? 
You probably shouldn’t be 
I’m telling you
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 

Life sucks, die! 
Is the motto I humbly replay 
When you ask why is my attitude so uncooth and dry 
And it has to do with life shooting by without giving me a chance 
I feel like superman in a wheelchair at a school dance 
Or even hendrix without no hands 
A wall street wiz becoming a broke man 
It seems like this dude murphy made up a law purposely to hurt me 
Outlook turning monochrome 
’Cause life’s a bitch that won’t leave me alone 

Exercise these demons 
Make them go 
Immerse me in the muddy waters 
Cleanse my soul 
Let the congregation witness 
Do it by all means 
Long as this curse is lifted 
Let the choir sing 

Now testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 
Now testify
‘Cause the bitch won’t leave me alone 

'Cause Ive got a lot of shit to prove 
Campaigning to an empty room 
So who is with me? 
You probably shouldn’t be 
I’m telling you…

So who is with me? 
You probably shouldn’t be 

So who is with me? 
You probably shouldn’t be 

I’m telling you…
Because the bitch won’t leave me alone
