I know you got a confession
So dramatic! Gotta have it!

How will you go learn your lesson?
Feed the catnip! Be the catnip!
Ok ok ok ok I’ll play your stupid game
Running all around with all the phonies and the lames
I’ll wait I’ll wait I’ll wait I’ll wait I’ll wait all through the day
Let you go first, if I did it’d be a shame
Welcome to the house
Keep quiet like a mouse
Make your first move count
‘Cause the kitty cat she’s coming for the pounce
Bell bell bell bell bell bell bell bell bell the cat, the cat

FRIENDLY FIRE
03:17

That’s health, that’s integration
That’s what we are here to do every morning
Before we get started we always om
That’s a chakra attack
Hey Cheryl!
Yes Dr. Ray
What’d I just say?
Om
I don’t know who to blame when it comes to the games that we play everyday
When it’s said and done
It’s friendly fire
I don’t know what we gain when it comes to pain that we face anyway
Double hit and run
It’s friendly fire
Playing Simpsons hit and run (ok)
You be the pedestrian (uh huh)
Hide like a chameleon (alright)
This could be a little fun (yeah)
Tell me what you got to lose
Yeah you can drive next where’s the rendezvous (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Speed it up I’m needing some (why)
Elemental mania (whoa)
Choose a fighter, choose a style (huh?)
Suited for the stadium (yeah)
You know what I’m ‘bout to do
Yeah turn it up a level raise the altitude
Oh it’s fucking hellfire raining down fire lord shit
Got a hundred little problems that you really need to fix
Always running from the source yelling “Appa Yip Yip”
Better test your luck with the solar eclipse
Gonna need new a rebellion the way I’m ‘bout to blast
I don’t see a problem if my turn will everlast
Every bit of you will be forgotten in the past
Shit my game just crashed
I don’t know who to blame when it comes to the games that we play everyday
When it’s said and done
It’s friendly fire
I don’t know what we gain when it comes to pain that we face anyway
Double hit and run
It’s friendly fire
Are you watching a movie or watching a show?
Will you be watching the next episode?
Built by the youth yeah the shit’s fictional
Paper and pencil ends up digital
I got rid of those problems and new ones arose
No hit and run keep my eyes on the road
What holds you back? Is it something you know? (Is it something you know?)
If you know me I would never switch it up
I will always give it you unplugged
Gutted down to the bones and the dirt and the dust
Take it slow so I’ll never slip up
Keep the game going play it so you know it won’t rust (yeah)
Tell me who do you trust (yeah)
Tell me who do you lust (yeah)
Tell me who do you love, love, love, love
Bless you bless me I see defeat from we to he to she to me I seem to be
Drifting in the water in a undertow
Some emotions always seem to overload
Receipts received don’t seem to free me from the sea but I’ll still reach until I believe
If I start another episode
I’ll be player one playing in control
I don’t know who to blame when it comes to the games that we play everyday
When it’s said and done
It’s friendly fire
I don’t know what we gain when it comes to pain that we face anyway
Double hit and run
It’s friendly fire

SAFE RESTART

Sorry about yesterday (yesterday)
I didn’t mean to say that (I didn’t mean to)
I own my words alone (my words alone)
And I wanna erase that (I wanna erase that)
So can I get a safe restart
I think it’s worth a try (I think it’s worth a try)
‘Cause you know what the best part is?
We don’t gotta say goodbye
You you caught me in a weird moment
Talkin’ bout myself
No nobody else
I’m losing patience
I take the anger out on you
Then you feed it through the loop
Stuck right on a level that the end game is to lose
And I do every time
Think it’s time I rewind
Sorry about yesterday (yesterday)
I didn’t mean to say that (I didn’t mean to)
I own my words alone (my words alone)
And I wanna erase that (I wanna erase that)
So can I get a safe restart
I think it’s worth a try (I think it’s worth a try)
‘Cause you know what the best part is?
We don’t gotta say goodbye
Hello can you hear me?

That I’m so sorry

FORGETFUL
03:38
|
|||
Sometimes the safest way to restart is to simply just forget what happened
Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
To be honest yeah I’m oblivious
My mind’s stuck the in further like I’m in Insidious
If your feeling modest I’d appreciate a hint
So my forgetful ways don’t make you feel mysterious
I’ll use my brain power to remember your first name
I hope that that’s enough cause I won’t try your birthday
If you get mad at me I’ll still forget what you say
Cause I would rather make my momma proud by winning first place
Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright? (Show me your moves!)
Hippopotamus Hippocampus
Slower than a praying mantis
My animal brain it’s branded
Old major this my planet
Welcome to my side of the mountain
Frightful by my side she a falcon
When they say silence is the loudest
I can hear my mind it’s shouting (Falcon punch!)
Running up and up and down gymnastic animal
Even when I’m going slow I always lose control (I always lose control)
Driving through my life I know my heart is on patrol
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Should I be careful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Am I forgetful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Should I be careful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful

In the schoolyard
Playing all these games I’ve never played before
Walking on the tightest rope I’m overgrown
I will never fall that is all I know
I can’t even draw a line I’ve never crossed before
Wanna have lunch after brunch
Wanna just go with my gut
Wanna just build up some trust
Wanna give you what you want
Wanna just talk on the phone
Wanna keep you on the low
Wanna with you not alone
Wanna with you all alone
In the schoolyard

In the schoolyard
A taboo topics got a time and place for sure
Last time for the record I just froze it in the snow
Now that winters over I think that it’s time you know
The man right in my mirror he just walked right out the door
I been directing my own movie from behind the sidelines
I been working so efficiently not thinking about the time
I been playing so damn passively but now I’m in control
In the schoolyard up from two to one and now I am afloat yeah
I am afloat now I am afloat
In the schoolyard up from two to one and now I am afloat yeah
I am afloat now I am afloat
Now that winters over I think that it’s time you know

GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM
03:39
|
|||
I just wanna live my life in truth
I hope that it is nothing really new to you
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party
And if I follow through
Will you still be the person that I always knew
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party
You don’t know what it’s like to be
All alone with company
I don’t wanna even talk no more
Even though I never spoke up before
What we talking bout?
Lemme get it right
Look in my eyes
They move from side to side
One goes left and the other goes right
It’s so hard to see straight cause
I just wanna live my life in truth
I hope that it is nothing really new to you
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party
And if I follow through
Will you still be the person that I always knew
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party (All this because you can’t fly)
Look both ways I’ve done that the whole time
You are late I’m the reason why
Don’t say hey with that look in your eyes
You’ll just make me want to cry
This timeline is built like mission
Will I win that’s my own decision
Built the bars to my mental prison
Now they’re gone it’s my time to glisten
I have wasted so many wishes
It is time for people to listen
I feel like a glitch in the system
I just wanna live my life in truth
I hope that it is nothing really new to you
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party
And if I follow through
Will you still be the person that I always knew
I won’t say I’m sorry
Welcome to the party
My eyes are crooked but I see the way you look at me
My eyes are crooked and I know this ain’t no make believe
My eyes are crooked cause I see the way you look at me
Do you look at me? Will you look at me?
Thanks pal, for your first time out you did pretty well!

STRADLATER
03:33
|
|||
If you ask me how I’m doing
I would probably just lie
To refine my answer
I’d say I’m quite alright
If you wanna be a nuisance
Dig up deep inside
You can go and take a lantern
To my dreams at night
I don’t want to play this game anymore, anymore
I won’t hide behind my face anymore, anymore
Yeah, if you ask me how I’m doing
I would probably still lie
But if you really want an answer
Look beneath my eyes
It’s my heart that’s racing
And my minds in drive
I’m just always thinking
If the questions right
Who are you? Are you?
Who are you? Are you? (Are you? Are you? Are you?)
Are you my Stradlater? (Are you? Are you? Are you?)
Are you my Stradlater?
I think I know now
I think I know now
I think I know now
I think I know my answer
I tried way too hard to fly
I’m more like Holden in the rye
I just walk alone
Now I know my answer
No this time it’s not a lie
Yeah I’m doing quite alright
Now that I am whole
I got full control
I chose player two for you, for you
It ends here
