OH OH OH, OH OH OH
So this is what its like to have wonder
This is what it's like to be under the sun.
It's what its like to have others
Others that care if you're having much fun.
And now we're under the covers, and we say:
OH OH OH, OH OH OH
So this is what it's like, this is what it's like.
This is what it's like to be human.
So this is what it's like to have wandered
This is what it's like to be under the sun.
Under the rain and the thunder
Wondering which way this weather might pull us.
And now my sisters and brothers, yeh they say:
OH OH OH, OH OH OH
So this is what it's like, this is what it's like.
This is what it's like to be human.
(OH OH OH)
And it feels good
And it feels tight
Don't it feel alright now baby?
So this is what its like to have wonder
This is what it's like to be under the sun.
It's what its like to have others
Others that care if you're having much fun.
And now we're under the covers, and we say:
OH!

I think it's about time that we scrap the act and stop acting like brats
I know we're on the cusp of a life full of accidents so we have to skip out
And reside in a place full of constant reminders
of what could've been and what will be in time.
Oh I don't know if I can explain how to live long and prosper.
Man, faith, and land. All owned by Pretty Monsters
And I think it's about time that you scrap the act and start saving the rest of your time for me, I don't ask for much, just a woman's touch
Cuz the silence is not enough.
Shy but not too shy, a bad hair day, another stye in your eye.
Who can't relate? We all have troubled times, don't ball them up inside
You will reside in a place full of constant reminders
of what could've been and what will be in time.
Oh I don't know if I can explain how to live long and prosper.
Man, faith, and land. All owned by Pretty Monsters
You know they are...
(All owned by Pretty Monsters)
(Oh how I pity monsters)
(All owned by Pretty Monsters)
You've got your land, you've got your faith, no need to be patient.
You've got your land, you've got your faith, how can you be so complacent?
You've got your land, you've got your love, so easily conquered.
You've got your land, you've got your love, all owned by Pretty Monsters
You've got your land, you've got your faith, you've got your love you'll get your way.

You think you've got this whole thing figured out, figured out.
Looking like a child with your cheap clothing.
You think you've got this whole thing figured out, figured out.
I think you're a wolf in sheep's clothing.
You think you've got this whole thing figured out, figured it out.
Back against the wall with your dark sunglasses.
You think you've got this whole thing figured out, figured it out.
I think you look so pretentious.
Toothpick, get it out spit it out!
You're too slick to get it out of your mouth.
Toothpick, get it out, you're too slick to get it out, spit it out
Out... OUT!
You think you've got this whole scene figured out, figured out.
Acting like a pro but you're out of practice.
You think you've got this whole scene figured, figured it out.
I think that you're look is a little bit drastic.
You think you've got this whole scene figured, figured it out.
Looking like you're all wrapped up in plastic.
You think you've got this whole scene figured, what's it about?
You tried so hard to mask it.
Toothpick, get it out spit it out!
You're too slick to get it out of your mouth.
Toothpick, get it out, you're too slick to get it out, spit it out
Out... OUT!
Toothpick, get it out spit it out!
You're too slick to get it out of your m-m-m-m-mama's mouth.
Toothpick, get it out, you're too slick to get it out, spit it out
Toothpick, get it out, spit it out.
Out... OUT! Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out, spit it out, spit it OUT...
(Yup I'll make you spit it out!)

Tainted
04:26

Don't you know my mind was the first that went.
I sincerely tried and tried just to make amends
But you're not listening to my petty shit.
Been convicted of a crime that I haven't committed yet and you seem fine.
Ok, now I'll be the first to admit I made a giant mess that I could never fix.
And I'm not cleaning it, no not one bit
Been convicted of a crime that I haven't committed yet and you seem fine.
Yeh you seem alright...
But I feel tainted again, I feel tainted, as the pain it just set in
I was tainted by a friend, tainted... Tainted...
Well don't you know my mother was the first that wept.
She really tried her best but she could never correct my constant missteps
Whether right or left.
She took a lot of time but she gave much more than she kept..
And now I'm wasted again, I'm so wasted.
As the pain it just set in, I was tainted by a friend.
I feel wasted, I'm so wasted.
As the pain it just set in, I was tainted by a friend,
Tainted, tainted, and now I'm wasted, wasted.
And now you've got me tainted, la la la la, la la la la la la la la
Tainted la la la la, la la la la la la la la
And now I'm wasted la la la la, la la la la la la la la
You seem fine, and you're alright, and you seem...
You seem fine, and you're alright, yeh you're alright.
(But I feel tainted again, I feel tainted, as the pain it just set in
I was tainted by a friend, tainted... Tainted...)

Running Ahead

I'm running ahead, I'm running ahead
I'm running ahead to the beat of my own drum.
I'm setting the pace, I'm winning a race
I'm making a name for myself what could go wrong?
Yeh I'm running ahead, I'm running ahead
I'm running ahead to the beat of my own drum.
I'm setting the pace, I'm winning a race
I'm making a name for myself what could go wrong?
Is it too late to turn around?
Is it too late to make a sound?
Is it too late, too late to be found?
If so then, I'm running ahead, I'm running ahead
I'm running ahead to the beat of my own drum.
Can you feel that drum?
Is it too late to turn around?
Is it too late to turn this frown upside down?
Is it too late, too late to be found, found, found?!?
I'm running ahead, im running ahead
I'm running Im running im running im running im gone, gone, so far gone.
I'm running ahead, im running ahead
I'm running Im running im running im running im gone, gone, so far gone.
I'm running ahead, im running ahead
I'm running Im running im running im running im gone...

These days I'm losing steam, I can't go on like this.
But I'll keep chasing my dream till the end of time.
I've been doing so much, what is the reason?
Cuz I can't see the other side or the changes in season
And you want me to believe I'm doing right by the book.
Yeh we're always after this old dream, take me, faster make me scream
I'm gonna make it someday baby,
I'm gonna make it, you'll see.
I'm gonna make it someday maybe.
And this town is getting old, its getting kinda tiresome
I want to take control, take control of my own life.
It doesn't seem so hard and yet its not so easy
I just have to get out while I'm feeling down.
Whats that you said dear? Let's get out of here, find a place to roam
Become what we want to become.
I'm gonna make it someday baby,
I'm gonna make it, you'll see.
I'm gonna make it someday maybe.
Well I'm never ever gonna say it again, I'm trying the best that I can.
You see this scheming and dreaming is taking way too long
I just might lose my head.
I'm gonna make it someday baby,
We're gonna make it, you'll see.
I'm gonna make it someday maybe.
And I'll take you with me. I'll take you with me.
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it you'll see.
I'm gonna make it, maybe.

This time I'm searching for you, next time you're behind my back
Last time I'm searching for you,
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
This time I'm hunting for you, next time I'm running out of traps.
Last time I'm hunting for you.
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
No it can't happen like that.
This time I'm hungry for you, next time I'm looking for a snack.
Last time I'm hungry for you
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
This time I'm thirsting for you, next time I'm chasing you with Jack
Last time I'm thirsting for you
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
No It can't happen like that.
This time I'm waiting on you, next time I'm hating on you.
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
This time you're waiting on me, next time you're hating on me.
It can't happen like that, It can't happen like...
No It can't happen like, no it can't happen like, no it can't happen like that
Not like that, please not like that
Of all the conversations that took place in the apartment, there was one that really stood above them all.
I (you) said don't be complacent and maybe someday you'll make it but I won't be there to see you rise and fall. Oh no!

Feels So Weird
04:23
|

Well I think its time to look inside the windows to ourselves
And forget about everyone else.
And I think its time to redefine the way we see ourselves
And get back to the way that we had had felt before
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and stick em in my pocket so I can take em out just in case that I've forgotten em, yeh, it feels so weird
Well I think its time to go inside the psyche of our minds
And forget about the rest of time
And I think its time to coincide with people of our lives
Cuz we forgot about them for a long time
Well just remember that you're not alone
Even if you left your phone at home to get a charge before tonight.
And I'm telling you that love is there
So close your eyes stop staring at the screen
so we can fight for what is right
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and stick em in my pocket so I can take em out just in case that I've forgotten em, yeh, it feels so weird
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and put them in this little square
I'm looking at the mirror but the mirrors looking back I swear
It feels so weird... Yup..
Yeh I'm taking everyone I ever knew and stick em in my pocket so I can take em out just in case that I've forgotten em, yeh, it feels so weird
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and put them in this little square
I'm looking at the mirror but the mirrors looking back I swear
It feels so weird
It feels so weird, it feels so weird, yeh
How did I get here? Yes how did we all get here?
We're taking everyone we everyone knew and stick em in my pocket so we can take em out just in case that we've forgotten em, yeh, it feels so weird we're taking everyone we ever knew and put them in this little square
We're looking at the mirror but the mirrors looking back I swear
It feels so weird
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and stick em in my pocket so I can take em out just in case that I've forgotten em, yeh, it feels so weird
I'm taking everyone I ever knew and put them in this little square
I'm looking at the mirror but the mirrors looking back I swear
It feels so weird

Paper Suit
04:45
|

|
I was walking down the street in my paper shoes
Just watching for the holes in the road
Thinking of the things that we didn't do
And the time that we've been spending alone
Just lying around in the paper house and hoping it'll blow away
Now I'm moving forward, yeh we made it out
I'm dressed up for the new day
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing in a different light.
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing life in a different light, in a different light
In my paper suit
Should I take my soul down to the paper church
And wash all these sins away?
Should I howl and croon at the paper moon?
Do I even have anything to say?
Should I take off these shoes and this paper suit
And ball them up and throw them away?
If I keep them on in the burning sun
You'll watch me go down in flames.
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing in a different light.
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing life in a different light
I'm taking off this paper suit, I'm seeing through the paper truth
I remove my paper suit, and now im free from you
Is this what the normal people do when they're feeling low?
I'm just trying to thread it through
Is this what the normal people do when they're feeling low,
and they just want to go home?
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing in a different light.
Oh me, oh my, I'm seeing life in a different light
I'm taking off this paper suit, I'm seeing through the paper truth
I'm taking off this paper suit, I'm seeing through the paper truth
I'm taking off this paper suit, I'm seeing right through the paper truth
I'm taking off this paper suit, I'm tearing off this paper suit.

Oh no... oh no... oh no... oh no...
So this is what its like to have wonder,
This is what its like to be under the sun
You've got your land, you've got you're faith, your got you're love, you'll get your way.
You've got your toothpick, get it out spit it out,
Now I feeling tainted again, I'm so tainted.
Cuz I'm running ahead, im running ahead, im running
And you know im gonna make it
Cuz it can't happen like that, it can't happen like that.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
I'm taking everyone I knew and put them in my pocket so I can take them out just in case that Ive forgotten them yeh
I'm taking off this paper suit
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
