He can't control you.
He's no the one to console you.
Play all your twisted games.
I'll take you on, kill your flame.
Hey you!
I'm pulling teeth trying to stop me from breaking you.
Look away!
I pray that someone gets you back one day.
She was too good for you.
She would have consoled you.
Play all your twisted games.
I'll take you on, kill your flame.
Hey you!
I'm pulling teeth trying to stop me from breaking you.
Look away!
I pray that someone gets you back one day.
You'll kick, you'll scream!
And everything please.
You'll run, you'll hide!
But you can't deny.
You're worthless!
Well ain't that just bliss?
You're wrong with this!
I'm sick of this shit!
Hey you!
I'm pulling teeth trying to stop me from breaking you.
Look away!
I pray that someone gets you back one day.

Can't do this on my own.
That's why you're here.
Can't face this on my own.
So will you please stay?
Hazy paths, tired fights.
My route's not clear so when will I see the light?
So alone, so afraid.
I look around and all I see is a maze.
I'm not me, you're not you.
So what the hell are we suppose to do?
Take a look and realise.
I'm just like him and this is not a sin.

Let's get this right into perspective.
Shortness of breath, well that's expected.
Dry mouth, constricted eyes.
I see right through your lies.
Burned silver spoons or an injection?
And I've come from, a place to ruin your life
Grab your shit now honey,
Where we're going we don't need roads.
You don't want to help, you want exposure.
It's a hard time I just want closure.
Runny nose? It's just a cold.
Cuts and bruises? I'm getting old!
No needle marks, just an infection.
And I've come from, a place to ruin your life
Grab your shit now honey,
Where we're going we don't need roads.
And I've come from, a place to ruin your life
Grab your shit now honey,
Where we're going we don't need roads.
And I've come from, a place to save your life
Grab your shit now honey,
Where we're going we don't need roads.

Music in the Grooves

We're just music in the grooves,
Read by the needle.
We're just words in a book,
Read by the people.
Forget the drugs and the fame,
It's not what you should be here for.
Forget your stupid little games,
Now it's time to endeavor.
Take your head out of the sand.
(Come up for a breath of air)
There's no good in this for anyone.
(Fall back down to the ground)
Take your head out of the clouds.
(You spin me round and round)
Do it right and once is enough!
Why do you care what people say?
Perfection is unattainable.
Instead just try to succeed.
Excellence is achievable.
Take your head out of the sand.
(Come up for a breath of air)
There's no good in this for anyone.
(Fall back down to the ground)
Take your head out of the clouds.
(You spin me round and round)
Do it right and once is enough!
