What gives? Whats the point of telling Anyone, anything? What gives? Whats real? And tell me what its like to be who you are To never have to worry you just move along Uh oh, are you bored? And tell me what its like to be who you are I know you're something more Cause when I'm in town I'll say hello When i'm town I'll say hello And tell me who you are and just who you were I know you're something And when you're not home I cry alone And when I'm at home I cry alone I wanna be just, just like all your friends Who trend and never get bored

Ripped! 01:55
And it falls so gently And I'll fall so heavy Yeah her eyes were made for killing but they spring life into me no kidding and I feel so empty, fill this hole inside me I'm as full as the stars up above! Now we're sitting here baby Grab my hand and tell me Would you give your trust in me? (For this love I plan to give) Now my eyes are all washed out From crying my heart out I've ripped it again!

As we float on our way downtown I feel numb and my heads gone south Its the notion that tears us apart And I have all the things I need Yet I can't feel a god damn thing It's the notion I'm feeling real down As we float on our way downtown I feel young and my heads gone south Its the notion that tears us apart And I have all the things I need Yet I can't feel a god damn thing Its the notion I'm feeling real down And I know it can get much better If I try and I know I've done it Its just easier to get fucked up "Forget the pain its just one of those nights" And I know it can get much better If I try and I know I've done it Its just easier to get fucked up "Forget the pain its a Saturday night" She moves slowly, beautiful under light And as she reaches, my mind is covered in strife And I've been waiting for our time just to run and die But every second that I'm with her just elongates my life
4.
Well it's summer and I can't help but to find a way just to ask if you're better If you're better And I'm hoping that it crashes in the worst way inside your head Its better, It's better It's summer and I'm wishing that I could just runaway It's better, Its better And I hope that it crashes in the worst way inside your head It's better, It's better And I've been thinking about the things I can never comprehend Spun around until I found something to make amends And I've trying night and day just to get across to you Come to think of it it's hard to give up Old habits Your old habits Old habits Your old habits

Sunday 02:12
Sunday can't come any sooner I think I had it on the side of the road Sunday, take me home! Sunday can't come any sooner I think I had it on the side of the road Surrounding valleys, its where I'll go And maybe Sunday I guess I'll see you I never know cause this life has passed me by Oh please don't be so mad at me Love
6.
Oh well my love Up at the bottom of my bed she lay there laughing She lay there laughing and I melt And I wish her the best in all that she's done Oh well my love Made up of all the things including flowers and I wish you And I wish you would know And I wish her the best in all that she's done And I wish her the best in all that she's done
7.
It's just an off day I think its Monday Sometimes the colors flash above I suppose Don't think she's alright, I think I miss her Too much to tell her I don't think that she can go on I left my head in the other room Surrounded by champagne and glass I left my heart in the other room Surrounded by friends I thought would last I wish you'd tell me just when I mess up Cause you know I'm dumb for things like that and I can't help I wanna give you all my damn love I never wanna see the day when you're with someone else I think I left my heart in the other room Surrounded by people I thought I knew Sometimes I don't feel like myself (I don't feel like myself) I still get the urge to (kill myself)

Working on the weekends Working so that she can eat Time runs, so don't look back and get up Working for the weekend Working so that we can be Time runs, so don't look back And get up! x4 Working for the weekend Is that all really we can be? Time runs, so don't look back and get up Working for the weekend Seventh shift and I can't breathe Time runs, so don't look back and get up! Get up! x7 Please just fucking get up! Whether she changes I'm there, there Weather turns blue after rain I can't forget promises I've made Time runs so slow when she's mine, she's mine

"I knew you weren't that type I'm messing around" I know, it's making you laugh And I swore it wouldn't affect the way that I am I know, it's making you frown And I never wanted to remind you That I was just a fool who loved you too much And I never wanna feel like I'm alone again You're all that I need And I never wanted you to see me In such a hateful way And she dances with her mind tied back Never worries for what she has Y las fresas son dulce Con ella And she dances with her mind tied back Never worries for what I have And romancing is all I have And I wonder if she knows that Mi fresa con crema Mi fresa con crema Es ella, Es ella

NoCulture 02:42
You wanna play the bigger man and feel entitled You wanna play against the words you used to fight em You've got a mouthful, you're sounding spiteful You wanna send em all back to where they came from You feel as if the blue have been too nice, inadequate Yet those oppressed still feel the bullets piercing through their skin White terrorists, I feel unsafe around cops because the color of my skin You wouldn't get it No culture! No identity! You wanna cut the funds for children's aid and medicine You say you're gonna build a wall to keep the good ones in Who's gonna build it? Oh I think I get it now You're gonna force and tax the shit out of my people Now picture this a single mother and her two month kid Undocumented, goes to school, and has a rent to pay All of a sudden, ICE huddle the door She's then deported and her kid becomes an orphan No culture! No identity! 1-2-3-4 No Culture, No Identity! No Culture, No Identity!

Syrup 02:50
Early in the morning rising up at dawn She's in my head again Early in the morning tempers going up I'm too young for this shit I've been in my head, lately I've been dead Thinking of what I'll be I think you're too quite I think I'm too violent I think you're too violent I think I'm too quiet Early in the morning rising up at dawn She's in my head again I think ima go for a quiet walk Clear my head, I'm upset

Julie and her friends Don't like to pretend When you're not around, you have their warmth Julie and her friends Make me feel welcomed when I feel as if the world is just a frown Julie and her friends Make me feel so loved When I feel as if there ain't nothing around Julie and her friends Don't like to pretend When you're not around you have their warmth Go!

Mal De Ojo 03:36
Chase it It's not that you meant it it's more that you thought it To be with you always, my only real longing Obsession is haunting, Obsession is haunting It comes late at night when my demons are calling But it hurts me to think that you're lying and I'm trying I know it's not right but it's 2 and I'm crying It hurt me so deeply, forget it I'll leave It's more that you thought it, it's not that you meant it Its more that you thought it It's more if that you meant it Mal de ojo! x4 And I'm coming And I'm not stopping for you Well she's nervous Will the answer lie in you? Y me jodes A mi mente y mi corazon No me llores, no me llores
