Men of Greatness
03:32

So, you took a lot of drugs and tried to be a big star
Aggressively misled by emotional scars
And I was sympathetic or just maybe too pathetic to see
We all think we're men of greatness until we need to be
I, I got no time to make friends, I got no time to pretend
I'm happy as I need to seem
Lie awake in bed at night
Living my whole life, I'm not sure that it's me
I'm picking up weird vibrations
Maybe you're just a prick and I'm getting gaslit thinking you had my best intentions
I got no time to make friends, I got no time to pretend
I'm happy as I need to seem, oh
You'd lie and I would make excuses why and
I never thought I'd buy into an empty melody
I got no time to make friends, I got no time to pretend
I'm happy as I need to seem, oh
Lie awake in bed at night
Living someone else's life, I'm not sure that it's meant for me
I'm picking up weird vibrations
Maybe you're just a prick and I'm getting gaslit thinking you had my best intentions
But holding on to anger is my family's disease
And I won't let some lawyers get the better of me
So I will take my sadness and disguise it with a major key
We all think we're men of greatness until we need to be

Keep Me Out
03:53

my love knows that she’s the best
knows that she’s best
tells herself this day and night
and she worships at my feet
worships at my feet
worships ‘til it don’t seem right
I can’t help but feel I’m played
I wait to be betrayed
I wait because it’s not my first time
I think we might be the same
forever playing games
forever losing love to lies
you say that you wanted it this way
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
you say that you wanted me to stay
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
my love’s shaking in her boots
shaking in her boots
shaking and she don’t know why
says she likes the way I move
likes the way I move
likes it but I barely try
I can’t help but feel I’m played
I’ve always been this way
shadow sticking to my insides
I trust you anyway I
trust you with my name
I trust you cause you swear you’re mine
you say that you wanted it this way
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
you say that you wanted me to stay
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
woah-oh-oh-oh
you say that you wanted it this way
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
you say that you wanted me to stay
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
you say that you wanted it this way
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out
you say that you wanted me to stay
then you keep me out
keep me out
keep me out

Over-Romantic
03:01
|

Don't wanna see your face
Don't wanna take your place
Don't wanna die a fucked up angry little man
Maybe we're the same but
I'm saving who I can
I hear you in my ear
I feel you when you're near
I can't pretend you’ve been a real good friend
I loved you like a brother
then you shoved me again
I'm truly sorry, this pity party is getting old, the guests are getting sad
Congratulations, you really caved in
You gave your best and your best was really bad
You're just a little Over-Romantic
You'll never let it go
You’ve fallen out of touch
Maybe I expect too much
Picking up is the least that you could do
Give me some perspective
What haven’t I given you
I know I’m wasting breath
I’ve got next to nothing left
I would rather die than try again
Enjoy your empty castle
I’ll be making amends
I'm truly sorry, this pity party is getting old, the guests are getting sad
Congratulations, you really caved in
You gave your best and your best was really bad
You're just a little Over-Romantic
You'll never let it go
Fuck off

CHUMP
04:09
|

Maybe I like being a chump
Maybe I like missing out on the fun
I like being upset
(yea!)
I'll live my life obsessed with regret
Give me someone to blame
I'll starve myself and get sick on the shame
I've got nothing to lose
Come on, baby. Load me up with abuse
I heard you say you're not sorry
I heard you say that you're not sorry
I heard you say you're not sorry
I heard you say that you're not sorry
Oh God it's never enough
I'm sick and tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm the same little boy
Give me something to possess and destroy
Could I be more like you
Strong enough to cut me in two
Why do I even exist
I'll do my part and save the planet
I heard you say you're not sorry
I heard you say that you're not sorry
I heard you say you're not sorry
I heard you say that you're not sorry
(shredding guitar solo)
Maybe I like being
Maybe I like being
Maybe I like being a
Maybe I like being afraid
Buy a gun and keep my family safe
I miss knowing my friends
I wonder when this decade will end
Baby don't be depressed
Paint your nails and put on a new dress
At least we still got the kids
Just make sure they don't do what you and I did

ExDread
03:16
|

Stuck inside my head with that existential dread
You know it'd mean the world to me
If you got me out of bed
See, I've been suffering having all the things I need
With one tiny exception of doing something for anyone
Anyone but me
Once read in a book belief is all it took
To win your friends and arguments despite capitalist crooks
And though there is some truth in this stream of revenue
I couldn't help but hate myself feeling like I couldn't help
Anyone but me
Oh, my friend
Can't you see it's all pretend
They got everything it seems
Is it anything you need?
Is it anything at all?
Now I must admit I would like to write a hit
With romance and repetition but that wouldn't help anyone
Anyone but me
