I've let myself overreact
That's just a fact
Oh, that's just a fact
I can't imagine I'll leave here intact
Bet I could call you a bitch and you'd still drive me back
I've let myself grow cold
I'm getting bold
Oh, I'm getting bold
Never again will I do what I'm told
Watch me unfold
I'll admit that I have outgrown
Submissiveness with a stubborn tone
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it alone
I've let you get away
Every day
Oh, every day
With every comment you just had to say
Well, maybe telling me to shut it won't make it okay
So what if you've seen me turn red?
I'm moving ahead
Oh, I'm moving ahead
I'll never take back anything that I said
I'll repeat it instead
I'll admit that I have outgrown
Submissiveness with a stubborn tone
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it alone
I have seen myself crack
I'll admit that I have replaced
Submissiveness with a stubborn face
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it, in case
So what if you've seen me turn red?
I'm moving ahead
Oh, I'm moving ahead

Guilt Trip
03:20
|
|||
I'm absorbed by selfishness, I never seem to grow
So entranced by aimlessness, I wander to and fro
But I don't know where I will end up
Or where I'll go
I'm adept at carelessness, I always lose my mind
In pursuit of happiness, 'bout twenty steps behind
But I can't find
Where you will end up
If you turn up at all
I know it's tough when we are stuck right in the middle
Of an adolescent friendship
And a several hour guilt trip
But I'm not expecting you to call
I'm not expecting that at all
I'm just expecting you to text
To tell me you're fine
I'm obsessed with readiness, I always think ahead
So prepared for emptiness beside me in my bed
But I won't dread
Where you will end up
When I am dead
I know it's tough when we are stuck right in the middle
Of an adolescent friendship
And a several hour guilt trip
But I'm not expecting you to call
I'm not expecting that at all
I just hope we'll keep in touch
But is that asking too much?
I always knew that I would hold you back
That I would drag you down
And if I'd thought about it I could pull you up
But now I know that I'll just help you drown
And now we're stuck right in the middle of an adolescent friendship
And a several hour guilt trip
But I'm not expecting you to call
I'm not expecting that at all
I'm just expecting you to text
To tell me you're fine

Beer Belly

I would let you take me out
If I thought that there was something that you'd let me talk about
But instead you'd make me shut my mouth
But if you told me to do it, you should know I wouldn't do it
I would let you pull my hair
If I thought that it would hurt, cause if it doesn't, I don't care
If I thought that it would hurt, cause if it doesn't, I don't care
I've gotta wake up at ten AM
Is that early for you?
Cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I would let you drink my beer
If I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
If I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
I've gotta wake up at ten AM
Is that early for you?
Cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I would let you beat me up
If I thought that I could stand a chance in making you look tough
But instead you'd whimper, like a pup
So I don't think we would do it, no that night we wouldn't do it
I would let you drink my beer
If I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
But your belly's getting bigger and your bank account it clear
I've gotta wake up at ten AM
Is that early for you?
Cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I've gotta take my pills again
Cause I can't seem to tell when I'm going crazy
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat

Bite
03:23

Are you looking for a change
Or an empty space
Does it suddenly seem strange
Do you feel the same
As you did a month ago
As you did, cause I don't know
I can't force it, I can't seem to cry
I've tried and tried
I feel it
I swear for the first time in my life
I just can't cry
Am I looking for a change
Or some peace of mind
Why's it suddenly feel strange
When I look behind
Do you feel the same
Do you feel the same
As you did a week ago
As you did, cause I don't know
I can't force it, I can't seem to cry
I've tried and tried
I feel it
I swear for the first time in my life
I just can't cry
I can't guarantee
Let's just wait and see
I knew you would strike
Since we're so alike
And it's such a waste
Cause I liked the taste
But I don't think I'd like
If I took a bite
I can't force it, I can't seem to cry
I've tried and tried

Oh, you laugh ’til you cry
And I cry ’til I laugh
So you think an hour’s enough
But I need an hour and a half
I can feel my face is flushed
And I feel my pulse; it climbs
I wish I could catch my breath
I wish I could turn back time
I would shove you down the stairs
If I thought your neck would break
I would hear it crack in two
It would jolt me wide awake
I don’t really want to kill you, though
I know that I act like it, I can’t express it
I just really like to push your button
And I know where it is so I know how to press it
I wish I could reach out
After every fight was done
I would grovel at your feet
But I won’t forget who won
But it was probably you, these days it’s always you
I don’t really want to kill you, though
I know that I act like it, I can’t express it
I just really like to push your button
And I know where it is so I know how to press it
Oh, you laugh ’til you cry
And I cry ’til I laugh
So you think a day’s enough
But I need a day and a half
Rage overcomes my mind
And it fills me to the brim
I try to move my arms
Suddenly I cannot swim
I don’t really want to kill you, though
I know that I act like it, I can’t express
I just really like to push your button
And I know where it is so I know how to press it
I just really like to watch you squirm
And I know where you itch, so I know how to get it
I just really like to push your button
And I know where it is so I know how to press it
I know how to press it

The Buzz
03:11
|
|||
Sometimes I sit in silence
Sometimes I like to grind my teeth
Cause it keeps me occupied
When there’s nothing else I’ve tried that can calm me
It’s a habit I would like to beat
Sometimes I breathe too quickly
And I catch myself trying to catch my breath
Then I start to bite my nails
And I bite them ’til they bleed
It’s a primal kind of need
But there’s nothing else I’ve seen that can calm me
It’s a habit I would like to beat
I’d like to beat
I’ve come a long way from the way I was
Always overreacting
Always killing the buzz
Now my displacement’s so far off because
Suddenly it all makes sense
Why I always act so tense
It was never self defence
It was self defeat
It’s a habit I would like to beat
I’ve come a long way from the way I was
Always overreacting
Always killing the buzz
Now my displacement’s so far off because
My friends have kept me in check
But there are many things
That I have not fixed yet
I've come a long way from the way I was
Always overreacting
Always killing the buzz
Now there are many things that I have not fixed yet
