The Devils Lyrics
[Intro]
We are the trade-ins, the souls that needed saving
Counting on a tired god who didn’t really want the job
If he’s on vacation, as I wait to be taken
Then nothing really matters now
So what am I so worried about?
[Verse 1]
No more sunny days
I can report there’s clouds in all directions
Full speed ahead
Because I know the storm like the back of my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I go to pieces every time anybody needs me
[Chorus]
'Cause I am trying to understand
The shame and the box it came in
Hold on tight 'cause trouble is creeping near
Hеll's gotta be empty 'cause thе devils are all up here
[Verse 2]
When my getaway was in full swing
The ground just started shaking
The children wept
Would've thought it was a nightmare if ever I slept
[Pre-Chorus]
And I go to pieces every time anybody needs me
[Chorus]
I am trying to understand
The shame and the box it came in
Hold on tight 'cause trouble is creeping near
Hell's gotta be empty 'cause the devils are all up here
[Bridge]
We are the trade-ins, the souls that needed saving
Counting on a tired god who didn’t really want the job
If he’s on vacation, as I wait to be taken
Then nothing really matters now
So what am I so worried about?
[Pre-Chorus]
I go to pieces every time anybody needs me
[Chorus]
I am trying to understand
The shame and the box it came in
Hold on tight 'cause trouble is creeping near
Hell's gotta be empty 'cause the devils are all up here
Castaway Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I could have a moment
Of peace then that'd be great
Without the pressures of the world
Screaming in my face
I'm homeward bound
Well, that's if only I could find my way
And don't make a sound
Don't wanna give away my hiding place
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
[Verse 2]
When the party's over
You have to pay the check
And how could I have paid my dues
And still be in your debt?
I'm homеward bound
And breathing with the motion of the wavеs
And I hear the sound of tiny broken dreams that drop like rain
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
[Bridge]
In my eyes, I'm almost human
I take my time with nowhere to put it
And all my chances to set things right
Are passing by
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
Good Advice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Put down your pencils
Time is up and pass your papers to the front
You hear that bell?
It means you're dead
Guess what, your life was just a test
(Surprise)
How'd you think you did?
Did you listen to the right people who showed you how to live?
As you barrel faster towards the end
Keep smiling, dying like you live
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess the bastards finally got you
I guess it's one of those days
[Chorus]
Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse thе sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
[Verse 2]
You start thinking
"Hey, I know this placе
Same awful look, same sour taste"
It's a good deal south of outer space
Just north of Hell, straight on 'til day
Here we go again
Did a typo on your file give you another chance?
I guess you best be moving on
Act fast before they know you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess the bastards finally got you
I guess it's one of those days
[Chorus]
Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse the sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
[Bridge]
I know, I know
You're in the corner shaking
So just go save yourself
While you're still worth saving
Someday you'll die but for now enjoy the ride
And I'll see you when I see you on the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess the bastard's finally got you
I guess it's one of those days
[Chorus]
Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse the sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Say So Long Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it me or is it hot in here?
I don't know if this is sweat or tears
I said, "To what do I owe this papercut?"
And now everything is upside-down
Since I've been thinking 'bout the end and now
I can't pretend this is the world I grew up in
[Chorus]
Oh, what a sin
I thought that everything was only in my head
I'll go sing a song or something, I'll sing a song or something
Let me tell you one thing, nothing could be less important
We're all gonna die, so say, "So long"
[Verse 2]
It's all a bit dramatic now
But I always tend to write things down
When I'm scared, and so what?
It served me well, because
I was cеrtain people listen to whеn they feel a bit dramatic too
In certain circles, there's a few who consider me quite good
[Chorus]
Oh, what a sin
I thought that everything was only in my head
I'll go sing a song or something, I'll sing a song or something
Let me tell you one thing, nothing could be less important
We're all gonna die, so say, "So long"
[Bridge]
I know my number and my name
Written somewhere next to my fate
'Cause it's all decided and that's a shame
It's like nothing matters but I do it anyway
These days I think more about death than I used to (Oh)
These days I think more about death than I used to (Oh)
[Outro]
I can tell you one thing, nothing could be less important
We're all gonna die so say, "So long"
We're all gonna die so say, "So long"
We're all gonna die so say, "So long"
Bad Intentions Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stand on the edge of the earth, unsure if my footing at first
I wait for a breeze to send me down
I can't pretend I wasn't hoping just a bit
To get blown off this tower, broken dreams stacked up like bricks
[Pre-Chorus]
What desperate minds do in desperate times
They make it worse 'most every time
Somebody stop me
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention, too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby, I'd be a peasant if I was paid in attention
[Verse 2]
I wonder if I'll еver go home, I start to see evеrybody I know
As I feel the breeze picking up
If I had the courage, I'd gather all my stuff and split
But I'm just a coward, steel and cold like a monument
[Pre-Chorus]
What fragile minds do in fragile times
They make it worse 'most every time
Somebody stop me
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention, too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby, I'd be a peasant if I was paid in attention
[Bridge]
I think I should finally get myself up off the ground
In time, I'll have this whole thing figured out
Maybe I can finally make a move towards better days
Maybe this time things will finally change
[Pre-Chorus]
But selfish minds do what they like
Somebody stop me
[Chorus]
I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention, too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby, I'd be a peasant if I was paid in attention
Just Like Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bad ideas are ripe for the picking
You've got a rash from the wounds you've been licking
Your armor's torn, so you wear a frown on the bathroom floor
Where you're safe and sound
[Chorus]
And it feels just like home
When you sink like a stone
But you breathe just for show
And they wish you good luck on your trip
But little do they know
That you smile and you wave with an anchor still tied to your toes
[Verse 2]
The time's never right 'cause the clock won't quit ticking
You've got a scar from the scab you keep picking
Your mask slips off when you hit the burner
The monsters know who you really are
[Chorus]
And it feels just likе home
When you sink like a stonе
But you breathe just for show
And they wish you good luck on your trip
But little do they know
That you smile and you wave with an anchor still tied to your toes
[Bridge]
I used to be so tough
I never caused a scene
When I was a holy fool (I was a holy fool)
But now I know too much (But somehow not enough)
And something's missing
And something’s missing
[Chorus]
And it feels just like home
When you sink like a stone
But you breathe just for show
And they wish you good luck on your trip
But little do they know
That you smile and you wave with an anchor still tied
With an anchor still tied to your toes
I’m So Happy I Could Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so happy I could die
Take a look at my perfect life
My perfect job, my perfect wife
I'm so happy I could die
So why am I so sad?
I wanna cry
I'm terrified of everything
And even when everything is great
I'm so happy I could die
[Verse 2]
I'm so happy I could choke
So I hold my breath and count to three
Maybe I'll hold it in all day
Maybe this is how I go
How much more joy can one man take?
Maybe it's my destiny to overdose on dopamine
And die with a smile on my face
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll do this a little bit longer
Sometimes I do a little too much
Wеll, I try and I try but I'm a mess
And that's alright
I'm so happy I could die
[Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
I'm so happy I could die
I lovе the laughter and the pain
But I wouldn't change a thing
I'm so happy I could die
