House on Fire Lyrics

[Intro]

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Verse 1]

Wage war on your preconceptions

Of my exception to come

What you rely on to give purpose to your lifelong dreams

Of being what you'll never become

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you gotta give

More than you've got to give

To watch it all fall

[Chorus]

As I watch it fall away from me

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

And all I am turn to all I can be

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Verse 2]

Fall back on the same excuses

That you've been using for years

The only person that you're holding back's

The only one that needed to hear all along

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you gotta give

More than you've got to give

To watch it all fall

[Chorus]

As I watch it fall away from me

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

And all I am turn to all I can be

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Bridge]

I watch it fall away from me

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Chorus]

As I watch it fall away from me

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

And all I am turn to all I can be

Like a house on fire, like a house on fire

[Outro]

Like a house on fire

Like a house on fire, oh

Like a house on fire

Like a house on fire, oh

They Don’t Want What We Want (And They Don’t Care) Lyrics

[Intro]

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

(Panic)

[Verse 1]

There's something strange going on in this room

The walls are melting, I can hear the ceiling screaming to come down

I can't believe we built this room

It was meant to be a sanctuary, not a prison

There's something strange going on in this house

It's like we're pushing all these buttons, trying to start a war

Amongst ourselves, but we don't know what we want

All we know's that we don't want what they want

[Pre-Chorus]

What we want

What they want

What we want

[Chorus]

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

Can you feel your bones ache like there's something within?

Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?

Can you feel it? (Panic) Panic, (Panic) panic

[Verse 2]

There's something wrong with the castle they're in

Watching over every single move that we make

Try to see past their perfect smiles

They were supposed to be protectors, not o-fucking-ppressors

There's something wrong with the way that they speak

Like the more they take from us, the better off that we'll be

Anything to get power they seek

All I know's that they don't want what we want

[Pre-Chorus]

What we want

What they want

What we want

[Chorus]

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

Can you feel your bones ache like there's something within?

Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?

Can you feel it? (Panic) Panic, (Panic) panic

[Outro]

We don't want what they want

They don't want what we want

We don't want what they want

And they don't care! (Panic!)

Panic, panic

Down to Hell Lyrics

[Intro]

Let's go

[Verse 1]

I don't know what you've heard, but I'm a cannon, I'm loose, I'm a wildfire

I don't care what you think about where I choose to draw my line

Sociopath, self-absorbed, egotistical asshole

Don't waste your breath, it's not a secret, believe it

[Chorus]

Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential

Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention

I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell

[Verse 2]

You can say what you want about me, I stay cool, talking ice cold

You can want what I'm not or what I was, I can't hear you through the new sound

Insufferable, emotional graveyard, pretentious dick

Don't waste your time, it's not a secret, believe it

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm going down, I'm going down, I'm going down

I'm going down, I'm going down, way down

[Chorus]

Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential

Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention

I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell

[Breakdown]

I wanna find somewhere to lose my mind

Dig around inside and go a little crazy!

I wanna find somewhere to lose my mind

Dig around inside and go a little crazy!

[Chorus]

Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential

Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention

I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell

I'm going down to hell

Antisocialist Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a dream once

All by myself with no one else

I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven

Then I woke up

And everybody wanted something

Reaching out, don't fucking touch me

So I take pills to induce sleep

But I always wake up

[Chorus]

Please, stay away from me

You keep on talking with nothing to say

I don't wanna hear about your life

You make me wanna eat a bullet, bullet

It's on my forehead, four letters off, and

Go forth and spread the word, I don't wanna know you

Please, stay away from me

'Cause I don't fucking like you

[Verse 2]

I had a dream once

I didn't know at the time

The world was perfect in that moment

Then I woke up

I was surrounded by these strangers

Standing close and staring in

So I drink liquor to escape it

But I always wake up

[Chorus]

Please, stay away from me

You keep on talking with nothing to say

I don't wanna hear about your life

You make me wanna eat a bullet, bullet

It's on my forehead, four letters off, and

Go forth and spread the word, I don't wanna know you

Please, stay away from me

'Cause I don't fucking like you

[Bridge]

From my heart, I hope you know this song is about you

From my heart, I hope you know this song is about you, yeah

From my heart, I hope you know this song is about you

[Chorus]

Stay away from me

You keep on talking with nothing to say

I don't wanna hear about your life

It's on my forehead, four letters off, and

Go forth and spread the word, I don't wanna know you

Please, stay away from me

'Cause I don't fucking like you

I Don’t Need You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Danny Worsnop]

You can't say I didn't try

If I'm honest, I probably gave a little too much

Been on the edge for a while

'Cause I promised that I would be, yeah

You can say I wasn't good enough

But you know that that doesn't change what really happened here

That I have grown into someone you never thought I could

[Pre-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Someone who could walk away from it all

Someone who could stand alone and be alright

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

'Cause I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be

I don't need you to make up my mind

There's so much I wanted to say but I can't find the words

[Verse 2: Grace Grundy]

Good to hear you're doing fine

If I'm honest, I think about you all the time

But we left us behind

To find out what we could be

Yeah, you brought out the worst of me

So I know if I stay, then we would both drown

But now I've grown into someone you never thought I could

[Pre-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Someone who could walk away from it all

Someone who could stand alone and be alright

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop with Grace Grundy]

'Cause I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be

I don't need you to make up my mind

There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words to

I don't need you, I don't need you

[Bridge: Danny Worsnop with Grace Grundy]

After all's said and done, I know I'm gonna get through this

Rebuild the bridges I've burned down and find the light in the darkness

After all's said and done, I know I'm gonna get through this

I'll find the light in the darkness, in the darkness

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop with Grace Grundy]

I don't need you to tell me who I am or what I'm meant to be

I don't need you to make up my mind, my mind

There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words to

There's so much I wanted to say, but I can't find the words

[Outro: Danny Worsnop]

I don't need you, no, no, oh

I don't need you, no more, no more

Take Some Time Lyrics

[Intro]

(So take your time, I wanna cross some lines)

(So take your time) You, you

[Verse 1]

Come with me, I can give you anything you want

Everything you've ever dreamed of, I can give you the world (I can give you the world)

Lean on in, let me tell you that you're beautiful

The only one I see in the room, I wanna taste your skin (I wanna taste your skin)

[Chorus]

Take your time, I wanna cross some lines, I want you, you

Pull me in, I feel alive when I'm with you, you

Can't deny there's something in the way that you move, move

[Verse 2]

Skin on skin, body shaking, dripping ecstasy

Burning daylight underneath the sheets, breathing out, breathing in (breathing out, breathing in)

Take my life, give me passage to a higher place

With a fruit that bears the sweetest taste and let me stay there forever (and let me stay there forever)

(Hey)

[Chorus]

Take your time, I wanna cross some lines, I want you, you

Pull me in, I feel alive when I'm with you, you

Can't deny there's something in the way that you move, move

[Bridge]

Hot sweat, love drip, heartbeat

Body's shaking, I want it to last forever

Lip bite, all night, this might

Be nirvana, all I want is everything

[Chorus]

So take your time, I wanna cross some lines, I want you, you

Pull me in, I feel alive when I'm with you, you

Can't deny there's something in the way that you move, move

(So take your time, I wanna cross some lines)

(Hey)

(So take your time, I wanna cross some lines)

(So take your time, I wanna you, you)

It’s Not Me (It’s You) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Danny Worsnop]

Can I tell you a secret?

I've been trying for a while, but I don't feel it no more

Can I be all out of faith and still be a believer?

I wanna be a believer, all I want is a reason

Just one, it don't need to be major

Something to make me feel like our time ain't wasted

'Cause I don't need that shit, no, I don't need that shit

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

No, it ain't me, there's something wrong with you

And I don't wanna talk about it

No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun

So long, I'm long gone

[Verse 2: Danny Worsnop]

I thought you were different

That you were nothing like the idiots always around us

That you had a sane head on your shoulders

Now they're all saying "I told you"

And we're at a crossroad

I wish this could be more than a once was

That you didn't need to feed off problems

'Cause I don't need that shit, no, I don't need that shit

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

No, it ain't me, there's something wrong with you

And I don't wanna talk about it

No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun

So long, I'm long gone

[Post-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Yeah, I hate to say it

But someone really needs to

We both saw this coming

There's no sense in keeping on, in keeping on, I'm moving on

[Bridge: Ben Bruce]

All I need is a reason

Just one fucking reason

All I need is a reason

Just one fucking reason

All I need is a reason

Just one fucking reason

[Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

It ain't me, there's something wrong with you

And I don't wanna talk about it

No, it's done, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun

So long, I'm long gone

[Post-Chorus: Danny Worsnop]

Yeah, I hate to say it

But someone really needs to

We both saw this coming

There's no sense in keeping on, in keeping on, I'm moving on

Give You Up Lyrics

[Chorus]

I wasted so much time on wasting time

Made a million excuses, told myself I'm above it

Now there's symphony where there used to be

Nothing but silence, and I'm never gonna give you up

[Refrain]

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up, give you, give you, never gonna give you up)

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up)

[Verse 1]

I never saw it coming

Exactly what I said I never wanted

I'm so used to running

But something caught me in the headlights that night

Now I'm stuck, can't move, don't want to, so here I'll stay

With a blinking of an eye, I felt my whole life change

[Chorus]

I wasted so much time on wasting time

Made a million excuses, told myself I'm above it

Now there's symphony where there used to be

Nothing but silence, and I'm never gonna give you up

[Refrain]

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up, give you, give you, never gonna give you up)

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up)

[Verse 2]

It's got my colors showing

Despite me always tryna keep them in

I'm so used to knowing

Who I am, but with you, it's like I'm someone new

And I'm stuck, can't move, don't want to, so here I am

In a strange new place that I'd never imagined

[Chorus]

I wasted so much time on wasting time

Made a million excuses, told myself I'm above it

Now there's symphony where there used to be

Nothing but silence, and I'm never gonna give you up

[Refrain]

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up, give you, give you, never gonna give you up)

(Give you up, give you up, gi-gi-give you up)

(Give you up)

[Bridge]

In my darkest of days

I've got a light now to show me the way

It's like I've found my place

And the world doesn't feel the same

[Chorus]

I wasted so much time on wasting time

Made a million excuses, told myself I'm above it

Now there's symphony where there used to be

Nothing but silence

I wasted so much time on wasting time

Made a million excuses, told myself I'm above it

Now there's symphony where there used to be

Nothing but silence, and I'm never gonna give you up

I'm never gonna give you up

Lorazepam Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm not an addict, I just sometimes fucking hate myself

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

I'm not a victim, I'm not lonely, and I'm doing well for myself

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

I drive a sports car, got a couple houses, fly first class

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

So why when I wake up and see my reflection does it make me sick?

[Pre-Chorus]

One, two, three, four

[Chorus]

I don't care anymore, I've got a sickness in my soul

I'm on my shit again

I find it kinda funny being out of control

Feed me Lorazepam

[Verse 2]

My wife, she loves me, I've got friends who'd jump in front of a train

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

But every waking minute, I'm tormented by my fucked-up brain

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

Folks pay to meet me, take a photo, tell me I should smile

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

But all I wanna do is take a match and set this whole place on fire

[Chorus]

I don't care anymore, I've got a sickness in my soul

I'm on my shit again

I find it kinda funny being out of control

Feed me Lorazepam

[Verse 3]

My parents sometimes try to reach me, but I never respond

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

Not really sure why I'm still pissed off, but it's part of my brand now

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

I've got no reason to, so tell me why I feel like shit

(I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care, yeah, I don't care anymore)

Lucky for me, I'm pretty good at acting like I've got a hold on this

[Pre-Chorus]

One, two, three, four

[Chorus]

I don't care anymore, I've got a sickness in my soul

I'm on my shit again

I find it kinda funny being out of control

Feed me Lorazepam

[Outro]

I'm not an addict, I just sometimes fucking hate myself

Every waking minute, I'm tormented by my fucked-up brain

I've got no reason to, so tell me why I feel like shit

All due offense, I don't feel bad if I push you away
