Backwards, crazier than anyone I know But that’s the way we like you Tell me, everything you think I need to know I need someone to talk to Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Faster, bet you’ll be the first one here that dies And no one’s gonna miss you Praise him, find a better way to feel alive You’ll never hear the Lord’s truth Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Staring out at nothing Running out of things to do alone Isn’t living funny Laugh at all the things that you don’t know Staring out at nothing Running out of things to do alone Isn’t living funny Laugh at all the things that you don’t know Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch Follow The Witch

Candy 03:29
Open up your mouth and wash it down Don’t forget to take a look inside Beautiful to taste Your candy coated face Kiss me one more time, open wide Cut from a different cloth And you fit so well Anyone could tell Under your spell You dream a different dream And when we get old It’ll make me whole You make me whole Open up your heart and let it grow Twice the size of anyone I know Good enough to be The only one for me Swallow every drop before it goes Cut from a different cloth And you fit so well Anyone could tell Under your spell You dream a different dream And when we get old It’ll make me whole You make me whole Cut from a different cloth And you fit so well Anyone could tell Under your spell You dream a different dream And when we get old It’ll make me whole You make me whole

Bullies 02:58
Maybe they all get it but nobody laughs The kind of speech that leaves you taken aback Slowly cheating everyone that they love Acting normal until you’ve had enough Don’t forget the things that make you unique Personality that makes you a freak Find a bunch of friends to follow you home Get ‘em high with everything that you own Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole Nothing cool about ‘em, they’re nothing special Just a bunch of kids that want you to die Slowly cheating everyone that they love Acting normal until you’ve had enough Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole Rich kids and bullies, they’re always out to get you They’re always out to get you, they’ll swallow you whole

Jenny Lewis 03:14
Funny how things change The more and more we age If I could do it all again I’d show you where my love began Another day without you It’s time for me to fix what I have broke A sweet, sweet memory is all that’s left Our love is just another inside joke Mediocre friends Always on the mend Suddenly you came into my life Someone that could love me to the end Another day without you It’s time for me to fix what I have broke A sweet, sweet memory is all that’s left Our love is just another inside joke Another day without you It’s time for me to fix what I have broke A sweet, sweet memory is all that’s left Our love is just another inside joke

Liars 04:01
I lose track all the time It’s a look on your face The way that you speak to me I couldn’t do it if I tried They don’t tell you it ends like this Lose your love and your innocence You were all that I had But all good things must pass Phony reasons to leave Better places to be Transparent philosophy The lies you choose to believe They don’t tell you it ends like this Lose your love and your innocence You were all that I had But all good things must pass They don’t tell you it ends like this Lose your love and your innocence Well! You were all that I had But all good things must pass

Bad medication’s not the only thing you hide Your situation isn’t any worse than mine Pretend that someone’s listening Pretend it’s not just you and me This used to mean something But I’m not having any fun We’re all just animals Being told to walk instead of run Bad education from the day we learn to speak Blind trust in authority, we work week after week Let’s pray to someone up above Maybe how we live is good enough Maybe how we live is good enough Maybe how we live is good enough This used to mean something But I’m not having any fun We’re all just animals Being told to walk instead of run You walk don’t run You walk don’t run You walk don’t run You walk don’t run

Sometimes 03:10
Sometimes it’s easy When they talk about love They don’t mention the bad part When enough is enough Life comes at you quickly Sometimes you burn out Most of us just get older and we start falling down Sometimes it’s harder, harder than this You’re drivin me closer, closer to death Love is a strange one! Love isn’t kind! It’s makin me crazier, time after time God save the wicked! God save the meek! She calls me a man But you see me as weak All of your pros And all of your cons Sometimes you leave it, but it won’t let you move on Sometimes it’s harder, harder than this You’re drivin me closer, closer to death Love is a strange one! Love isn’t kind! It’s makin me crazier, time after time Love is a strange one! Love isn’t kind! It’s makin me crazier, time after time

Forty Years 03:33
Thoughts of drowning in a pool again Must we do this all the time Cloudy talk, and darker thoughts Pour another glass of wine Forty years of feeling broken Guess we all could say the same Pray to any god, for a new direction If things go wrong, then they’re to blame Can’t we have a normal talk today Do we always have to cry Ugly words, that twist and turn You go low and I’ll go high Forty years of feeling broken Guess we all could say the same Pray to any god, for a new direction If things go wrong, then they’re to blame I wouldn’t hold my breath Things will never change Might as well enjoy the ride I wouldn’t hold my breath Things will never change Might as well enjoy the ride We might as well enjoy the ride Forty years of feeling broken Guess we all could say the same Pray to any god, for a new direction If things go wrong, then they’re to blame If things go wrong, then they’re to blame

Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one That gets you Take every single problem And flush it down Take every invitation To get around Physically forgotten, but never truly gone You’re barely out the door, and still the show goes on Physically forgotten, but never truly gone You’re barely out the door, and still the show goes on Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one That gets you Give it up for this guy He knocked it out the park Colder than ice cold And spoiled from the start Physically forgotten, but never truly gone You’re barely out the door, and still the show goes on Physically forgotten, but never truly gone You’re barely out the door, and still the show goes on Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one That gets you Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one Am I the only one That gets you
