Backward Lyrics
4 ContributorsBackward LyricsIt's all backward
It's all bad word
Said to me by you
How you misunderstand
All, wrapped up
In yourself
Fall, who will pick you up
Walking backward
This is my mistake, my mistake
This is my mistake, my mistake
I'm sorry dear
I wish I could
Read your mind
It's my fault, how I misunderstand
Now, don't go changing
Trying to please me
It will never work
Walking backward
This is my mistake
Always backward
This is my mistake, my mistake
I can
Feel this, next
Upcoming crisis will be our
Last one
I swear
I swear
Walking backward
Walking backward
Walking backward
This is my mistake
Divorce Lyrics
4 ContributorsDivorce LyricsI know just what your thinking
You want someone to blame
I know you well 'cause
I always feel the same
We always look behind
We always look behind
Day in, day out
The world is my witness
Sick from my culture's sickness
Wish it would all go away
You feel the same
We always look behind
We always look behind
I want to slow my mind, down
Something tells me
It's my cross to bear
You can't reach me
You were never there
It's like water
Under a bridge now
I've looked a thousand times
We always look behind
We always look behind
Day in, day out
Simpleton Lyrics
4 ContributorsSimpleton LyricsIt's built
Up inside
You're on
The verge of exploding
Self less
Enough to say
I meant what I said
And I'm not even sorry
What is to get?
It's simple now
Cut to the quick
No misunderstanding
You sit there
On your side
Don't blame yourself
Blame it on your family
Self less
Enough to tell
If you walk away
Then I'm not running after
What is to get?
It's simple now
Cut to the quick
Don't misunderstand
I know you hate him
'cause you said you did
How can you fake it?
It's some misunderstanding
Inside, your delivered from the stress
You say that your fine
But I think you're wishing
What is to get?
It's simple now
Cut to the quick
Don't misunderstand
Don't misunderstand
Don't misunderstand
Thorn in My Side Lyrics
5 ContributorsThorn In My Side LyricsThorn in, my side
And you live just to pull me down
Rusted, nail I stepped on
This infection
Thorn in my side
You're full
I think so
Of anger
You need to sit down
Stay down
The things you, want but don't get
Is that fair, I don't think so
A sure thing, you can count, on
A big depression
A thorn in my side
You're full
I think so
Of anger
You need to
Your praise, is two faced
And you're
You're cut down
My friend
Cut Down
A thorn in my side, thorn in
A thorn in my side, thorn in
Blister Lyrics
4 ContributorsBlister LyricsKid, picked on, love, blinds him
Found, his own girlfriend
It's all he could ask for
He doesn't need
His hands
Tied up
To persuade, this kid
Had got, it all, too good
Bit, dust
And, said I live for
I live for you
Trust, too much, this, is what, you
Get for this is just another lie
Just another liar
He has his hands
Tied up
To persuade, this kid
Had got, it all, too good
Bit, dust
And said, I live for
I live for you
Trust, bliss, date, faith, trust, hate, share it
Share it all with you
I live for you
Supergenius Lyrics
4 ContributorsSupergenius LyricsTurn your face down
It's your chance to meet the man
When you saw that
Tha' nightstick hit his head
Saw it fall, on his skull
You heard the sound that it made
Impressed by the sound
He's impressed with himself
You stand in the way
You're the next one down
Call it like you see it
No muted witness
You stand in the way
You're the next one down
It just might break
It just might break down
It's in the way
That you stand up for right
That's why the old guard's shaking
It lets them know you're there
It lets them know
That you can't ignore, what you saw
Lifting weights of conscious
Story of tragic miscarriage
You stand in the way
You're the next one down
Call it like you see it
No muted witness
You stand in the way
You're the next one down
It might just break
Just might break
Break down
It just might take more than you have got
Forgotten something
Aright you have got
Stopping for nothing
It might take more than you have got
It Would Be Cooler If You Did Lyrics
6 ContributorsIt Would Be Cooler If You Did LyricsIf you turn, turn away
I can pretend that you'll stay
If you want it
If you want, I will
Torn in two, torn away
I could not look, I wish you did
If you want it
If you want, I will
If you really want it
If you really want to
All ways I want to burn
Set fire to things that were not returned
So take what you can get
Second chance might not come
Or we can just stay dumb
If really you want to
I, I will
If you really want to
If you turn away
If you turn, turn away
If you want to
If you want to
If you want to
(Are we rolling?)
