Will you pretend to love me so
And in the end we both let go
Finally a love supreme
Manifested from a dream
Could anybody else
Food for thought, forget me not
Patiently put on the spot
Face to face with lonely
Struggling to compromise
Could anybody else
Hard to let you go
Harder than I thought
The only thing that’s left for me
Monochrome memories
Hard to let you go
Harder than I thought
The only thing that’s left for me
Monochrome memories
Broken hearts and broken dreams
Until you’re bursting at the seams
Fall asleep without a clue
Waking up to something new
Swimming through the stream of life
Witness time become a knife
Following the melody
The universe has brought to me
Could anybody else
Hard to let you go
Harder than I thought
The only thing that’s left for me
Monochrome memories
Hard to let you go
Harder than I thought
The only thing that’s left for me
Monochrome memories
It’s just another tantrum
Just like the last one
Broken glasses on the floor
Doesn’t matter anymore
The only thing that’s left of me
Monochrome memories
Will you pretend to love me so
And in the end we both let go
Finally a love supreme
Manifested from a dream
Could anybody else
Food for thought, forget me not
Patiently put on the spot
Face to face with lonely
Struggling to compromise
Could anybody else

Acid on the Dancefloor

When the light goes down and the acid hits your head
Will you sound it out, will you drown it out
Will it raise you from the dead
I got Fifty Shades of Grey for you to touch
And we’ll both go numb, and we’ll both get wet
And we’ll both fall down too much
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor
I found my freedom in a couple of tabs
Just open wide, put this inside, let’s both give this a stab
Let’s disconnect from you and me
Let’s both be, just let us be, let’s both be energy
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor
When the light goes out and we’re both inside our heads
Are you still you, am I still me, or are we energy
When the light goes out and we’re both inside our heads
Are you still you, am I still me, or are we energy
When the light goes out and we’re both inside our heads
Are you still you, am I still me, or are we energy
When the light goes out and we’re both inside our heads
Are you still you, am I still me, or are we energy
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor
I’m trippin on acid on the dance floor
And I took too much, I took too much, Acid on the Dance Floor

Consumerism!
I want you to give me some more
I bet my is better than yours
Big cars and a big tv
New friends in SUVs
Check it out I don’t feel pain
I’m high on great cocaine
Felt cute but I might delete
All the company that I keep
Hey kid!
You ain’t punk
You might think you’re punk
Get outta here!
Consumerism!
Hold on I’m not done yet
I’m desperate for your respect
Pay attention to my next slide
Have a look at my backside
Every day I consume more
Can you tell me what it’s all been for
Cheap drugs and digital love
I never know when enough’s enough
Hey kid!
You ain’t punk
You might think you’re punk
With your leather jacket
And those Ray Ban shades
And that slick haircut
Nah, you ain’t punk!
Get outta here!
Consumerism!
I want you to give me some more
I bet my is better than yours
I want you to give me some more
I bet my is better than yours
Gimme gimme gimme gimme some more
I bet my is better than yours

Blame It on the Youth
03:59
|

|
Plenty of people understand
That it begins when we’re so young
Your condition, what you are
Another hustle that we run
Tell me it ain’t hard to say I love you
Tell me it’s my own bad attitude
It doesn’t have to be like this
As long as you are here
Baby you can let me dry your tears
Blame it on the youth now
It’s always what they do
And I’ve been running so long
Blame it on the youth now
Running back to you
And I’ve been running so long
And it feels like I’m running too far
Blame your mother, blame your father
But you know it’s not their fault
They can make you, nearly break you
And you can wind up standing tall
Tell me it ain’t hard to say I love you
Tell me it’s my own bad attitude
And blame it on the youth now
It’s always what they do
And I’ve been running so long
Blame it on the youth now
Running back to you
And I’ve been running so long
And it feels like I’m running too far
Blame it on the youth now
It’s always what they do
And I’ve been running so long
Blame it on the youth now
Running back to you
And I’ve been running so long
And it feels like I’m running too far
Blame it on the youth now
It’s always what they do
And I’ve been running so long
Blame it on the youth now
Running back to you
And I’ve been running so long
And it feels like I’m running too far
It feels like I’m running too far
And it feels like I’m running too far
It feels like I’m running too far
And it feels like I’m running too far
It feels like I’m running too far
And it feels like I’m running too far
It feels like I’m running too far
So far

She’s a little hard to get to know at first
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Blind dates, bad first impressions
You wonder is it really for you
True love and suicide
You knock first to get inside
Loose ends and funny friends
Love takes you for a ride
Find another one to keep you warm at night
The best ones are more outspoken
Don’t got a family, I barely got you
It’s no wonder that I’m feeling broken
I punched my ticket, front of the line
Up in the middle of the night
Don’t waste my time, I’ll lose my mind
You know I’m puttin up a fight
True love and suicide
You knock first to get inside
Loose ends and funny friends
Love takes you for a ride
Love takes you for a ride
I just want you to give me more
I didn’t ask for the girl next door
True love and suicide
You knock first to get inside
Loose ends and funny friends
Love takes you for a ride
Love takes you for a ride
Love takes you for a ride
Love takes you for a ride

Gatekeepers
Gatekeepers
It’s a fine day to be mediocre
It’s a fine day to act like a joker
Got where I am doing a favor
Stayed where I’m at with my good behavior
Give me one reason I should help you
Give me one reason, maybe give me two
Tell me that I’m pretty, tell me that you care
I’d love to help you out but life ain’t always fair
They only stand in your way
And you know they act fake
It’s all the same at the end of the day, they’ll always just be gatekeepers
Gatekeepers
Follow my lead, I’ll show you the ropes
Take it from me, the one who knows
Before I got here, they had it all wrong
They were so sad, but not for long
Gatekeeper, my only friend
Gatekeeper, I’m here to the end
Gatekeeper, it’s what I’m about
Gatekeeper, keepin you out
They only stand in your way
And you know they act fake
It’s all the same at the end of the day, they’re always gonna be gatekeepers
Gatekeepers

Everybody’s talking, about my L.S.D.
I say talk is easy, and money’s never free
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
But I always tell them, life it ain’t so black
For everything I’m given, something’s taken back
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
Yes I need, L.S.D.
Mercy in his deed I find
He hasn’t got a care
Might be going fast
And not going anywhere
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
L.S.D.
L.S.D.

Friends with Bad Advice
02:26

We should grab another drink to go
And take it for the road
Find a funny way to wreck yourself
Before we all explode
Friends with bad advice
Friends with bad advice
You know I’ll never get it right
All I get is bad advice
Might be drunk but I can drive
And you’re welcome to smoke inside
Don’t need a lawyer for my defense
Just need friends with common sense
Friends with bad advice
Friends with bad advice
You know I’ll never get it right
All I get is bad advice
Friends with bad advice
Friends with bad advice
You know I’ll never get it right
All I get is bad advice
I just felt like being bad
I just felt like staying sad
You know I can’t think twice
I got friends with bad advice
Friends with bad advice
Friends with bad advice
You know I’ll never get it right
All I get is bad advice

Soul on Fire

You set my soul on fire
You got me burnin up
You set my soul on fire
Can’t get enough of your love
When I end up in the lost and found
Well you connect the dots
People talk when they see us around
They can say what they want
You set my soul on fire
You got me burnin up
You set my soul on fire
Can’t get enough of your love
We might be trash but we’re having fun
Like you said we would
Any minute now I’ll come undone
And you look so good
You set my soul on fire
You got me burnin up
You set my soul on fire
Can’t get enough of your love
When I end up in the lost and found
Well you connect the dots
People talk when they see us around
They can say what they want
You set my soul on fire
You got me burnin up
You set my soul on fire
Can’t get enough of your love
You set my soul on fire
You got me burnin up
You set my soul on fire
Can’t get enough of your love

Stray Dogs

Do you ever stop and take a breath
Does it ever keep you up at night
Tell me all the ways that you’re gonna change
Make me think I’m wrong so you can be right
Whatever sound you’re making
Whatever drugs taking
No matter what your saying
I love you, why do I love you
When you only love yourself, and you only have yourself to blame
I would hold you to the end of the world
Like a couple of stray dogs
Find someone that makes you feel the same
I ain’t got time for cheap talk
Someone told me that you broke their heart
Not surprised because it’s what you do
Maybe someday it’ll happen to you
Kill my demons, kill my angels too
Whatever sound you’re making
Whatever drugs taking
No matter what your saying
I love you, why do I love you
When you only love yourself, and you only have yourself to blame
I would hold you to the end of the world
Like a couple of stray dogs
Find someone that makes you feel the same
I ain’t got time for cheap talk

Hollywood Ending
03:17

Look past it, oh fantastic
It’s almost like it never happened
It’s never mentioned, I never question
Suddenly I feel old fashioned
We’ll go ride into the sunset
And end up in Hollywood
Sell your soul for a vacation
Like our parents thought we should
Like a daydream, I’m half listening
Sleeping with a former lover
Tried a new voice, made a new choice
Arguing with one another
We’ll go ride into the sunset
And end up in Hollywood
Sell your soul for a vacation
Like our parents thought we should
Can you tell me, where is my Hollywood ending?
We’ll go ride into the sunset
And end up in Hollywood
Sell your soul for a vacation
Like our parents thought we should
