Grab the wheel cause I'm feeling it slip away
Grab the mic cause I've run out of words to say, say...
My teeth are chattering it's kicking in I'm ready to break
Hold me together be my glue I wanna feel safe, safe...

You'll take me miles from here 
and show me who's boss
you're taking over from here
and this is all wrong
it's fuckin' hard to let go when you're always in control

I wanted more I didn't ask thought it was a right
I was wrong you made me work for tonight, tonight...
you were going pro and I was playing for fun
thought i was ahead but you had already won, won...

Power Struggle

You don’t mean it 
You’re caught up in it
They always tell you what to do 
You say it’s difficult
Some things are not your fault
It must be hard to be perfect

And sometimes I get tired 
Of hoping for what’s slightly out of reach

Get off your knees 
You’ve been blowin’ my mind x2
You’re five steps forward, I’m five steps behind 

Watch what you’re sayin’
And to whom you say it
They’ve got so much control
Why don’t you break out
Before you break down
This act is getting old

Whoa-o-oa
Who said it’s good for you to go-o?
I’m fine, Your Fine
I’m fine, Your fine
We’re both just liars





Five Steps Forward

Truthfully

I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's West side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit

And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag

I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is

It was so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
So simple in the moonlight...

You fight me 
Down to the bones and back up to the skin 
With every sentence an impulse to win 
You got your fists up, your head down
Ready to lunge before I make a sound.

I fight you
Down to the bones and back up to your skin
With every sentence an impulse to win
I got my fists up, my head down
Ready to lunge before you make a sound

So when you see me comin’ ‘round 
You better know what’s about to go down.

We point our barrels to the sky and we fire away
For every inch of ground we cover there’s a price to pay
For every shot we miss another bullet gone to waste
We aim to kill but we always end up limping away.

But I’m ready
Armed to the teeth and right down my back
Backstabber, waiting for me to react
You’ve got your pants down, your dick out
Your heart exposed to a full attack.
