La La La & Everything
Fashion over everything
Won’t you listen to everything I say?
Muscles over everything
Take a bite, the apples here are so delicious
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
So maybe they are listening
They could be watching everything all day
So maybe they are listening
Tell me, is that what we’re reaching for now?
With a La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
With a La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything
La La La & Everything

La La La & Everything
The apples here are so delicious

Turned away as my reflection appeared
Don’t wanna do that today
Rot in your boots, hide in your shoes
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind
Eyes so close, off in the distance
Looked so far, to see nothing
And you’re coming back home again,
And we’re all … all comin’ back home again
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind
You cry an ocean
I’ll cry an ocean
You send the ocean, i’ll get the notion … (or two)
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind
Corner of my eye, corner of my memory, corner of my mind

Readiness
Pack your things
Stay up late
Don’t lock the door
Because nothing is safe
You might not want to look in the sky for a while
You may not want to look out your window
Then they told me to just be ready
I watched them light it up
And then we wanted to kiss all your enemies
Today I wanted to be less heavy
It’s hard to lighten up
She said, remember the scars are the teachers
Breathing aid
To keep you sane
Don’t stay up late
Because we walk all day
You might not want to look at your face for a while
You may not want to look in your eyes
Then they told me to just be ready
I watched them light it up
And then we wanted to kiss all your enemies
Today I wanted to be less heavy
It’s hard to lighten up
She said, remember the scars are the teachers
The teachers
The teachers
Then they told me to just be ready
I watched them light it up
And then we wanted to kiss all your enemies
Today I wanted to be less heavy
It’s hard to lighten up
She said, remember the scars are the teachers

Won’t believe in anything again
Won’t believe in anything again
My ears are dirty from holding them on the ground
Been waiting for your message all day long
And the wind cries and the time sands blow
You know i’d love to tell our story, but I don’t know how the end goes
Won’t believe in anyone again
She won’t be leavin’ anyone again
“I won’t believe in anything”, you say
She won’t be leavin’ anyone again
I don’t believe, she said I don’t believe
The sky is greener always on the other side
Or at least that’s what the voice told me,
But I guess that it could have lied
Now I’m lookin’, and i’m jumping too
A new vision is sat before me, and I could only wish that it was you
Won’t believe in anyone again
She won’t be leavin’ anyone again
“I won’t believe in anything”, you say
She won’t be leavin’ anyone again
I don’t believe, she said I don’t believe
My ears are dirty from holding them on the ground
Been waiting for your message all day long
And the wind cries and the time sands blow
You know i’d love to tell our story, but I don’t know how the end goes

Well Run Dry
There’s water in the well, poison in the water,
But if you want a drink it’s the only game in town
There’s water down in hell, mixing up the poison
Bet they wish they never drank it so well
Said i’ve never seen the well run dry
So what the curse are we supposed to do
Need a little more light, a little more sun
So we can dry it up and make another one
So we can dry it up and make another one
Again came the rains, again came the water
Set a trap and bring in what you can
Lead in the pack you wanted to gather,
But you better be careful … you better be careful
Because i’ve never seen the well run dry
So what the curse are we supposed to do
Need a little more light, a little more sun
So we can dry it up and make another one
So we can dry it up and make another one
There’s water in the well, poison in the water,
But if you want a drink it’s the only game in town

In the Morning
I arise, and I can see it again
Blink, turn, spin
Can’t see you again
Then in the morning
They look beside themselves
And they’re beside themselves
Hands for the people
The beautiful bloody people
When they stay inside themselves
Turn lights around
And I am reaching to the end
Turn. snake. blue.
I’m living again
Then in the morning
They look beside themselves
And they’re beside themselves
Hands for the people
The beautiful bloody people
When they stay inside themselves
Then in the morning
They look beside themselves
And they’re beside themselves
Hands for the people
The beautiful bloody people
When they stay inside themselves
Walk like a lion
Walk like a lion
Walk like you want it

Keeping Up
Would everyone watch
As you crashed into the ground?
Cause everyone’s just watching as you fall
And would anyone cry
As you circled through the night?
Cause everyone’s laughing right now … right now
I’ve been too tired to keep up with the fire
Now it’s burning our lives
I’ve been too tired keeping up with the lies
Now we’re losing our fire
Would everyone watch
As you crashed into the ground?
Cause everyone’s just watching as you fall
When anyone cry
As you circled through the night?
Cause everyone’s laughing right now … right now
I’ve been too tired to keep up with the fire
Now it’s burning our lives

Never Fall Apart
Please help me never understand
I think it’s good to be an old man who says, ‘I never really knew much about that’
I hope to never fall apart
I’ve found it hard enough to watch
I hope I didn’t really abuse myself
And you get what you needed,
Then you took what you didn’t
Please help me never touch the ground
Coasting just high enough above it, that place it never really appealed to me
I hope to never wonder why
It’s hard enough here with a reason, I don’t think I would ever return from that
And you get what you needed,
Then you took what you didn’t
Never understand or fall apart, oh-oh
Never touch the ground or wonder why,
You said you lost feeling, but I don’t think that the feeling is dead
Please help me never understand
I think it’s good to be an old man who says, ‘I never really knew much about that’

Ruin of Many

Ruin of Many
Tried a new way home
Stop and look in some windows
And by looking, opened up a door
Don’t force an evermore
There’s nothing left that’s worth rushing for
And besides, all we’ve got is time
You’ll be the ruin of many still
Don’t worry you will be the ruin of many still
Called the pentagon
They said that there was nobody home
And you should expand your dimensions
And then the sphere came home
And told them all to think on their own
It was too late
Evermore had gone
You’ll be the ruin of many still
Don’t worry you will be the ruin of many still
And you still keep on smiling

Don’t Feed the Animals
I’ll give you anything you need
I’ll get it for you Eloise
I’ll give you ages, give you time
I'll get it for you, Adeline; All day and night.
I'll give you anything you want
Until I've given everything I got
But don't pretend it's easy for me
I'll give you anything you want,
But don't feed the animals
Let's not pretend it's eeea-sy
I'll give you pages, give you a pen
I'll get it for you, Evelyn
I’ll bring you any pill you need,
I’ll get it for you Tara Lee, my Frances Bean.
I'll give you anything you want
Until I've given everything I've got
But don't pretend it's easy for me
I'll give you anything you want,
But don't feed the animals
Let's not pretend it's eeea-sy
Give you ages, give you time
I'll get it for you, Adeline; All day and night …
I'll give you anything you want
Until I've given everything I've got
But don't pretend it's easy for me
I'll give you anything you want,

Let's not pretend it's eeea-sy

What I Owe
When I ache from what I owe
I follow the eyes so that I know
That i’m facing towards the future that’s to come
And when I can’t put down my phone
I follow the legs, get up to go
Cause there’s nobody else can do this, only me
I went back to the places where we loved
Was sitting waiting for you
I went back to the places where we loved
And we were nowhere to be found
With a strangle or a hug
I give my fears a little one
And i’ll grasp until something begins to change
When it rains you don’t complain
You can look up into the sky
Calm the waves or rides the waves, do what you like
I went back to the places where we loved
Was sitting waiting for you
I went back to the places where we loved
And we were nowhere to be found
When I ache from what I owe
I follow the eyes so that I know
That i’m facing towards the future that’s to come
And when I can’t put down my phone
I follow the legs, get up to go
Cause there’s nobody else can do this, only me
I went back to the places where we loved
Was sitting waiting for you
I went back to the places where we loved
And we were nowhere to be found

Blame it on me
Well you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re in for, if it’s what you need
Yeah you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re into, tell me what you need
How come I never want to talk about it?
How come you’ll never understand?
I’ve gone half crazy trying to live without it
I’ve gotta try and stay awake
Well you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re in for, if it’s what you need
Yeah you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re into, tell me what you need
I wrote a letter and I talked about it
But then I locked it far away
Now I got a letter and it took me back to
A place I thought i’d never see again
Well you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re in for, if it’s what you need
Yeah you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re into, tell me what you need
Well you can blame it on me if it’s what you’re in for, if it’s what you need
Yeah you can blame it on me tell me, is it what you’re into - tell me what you need

Wasted all the time
What are you lying for
Tell me who are you stealing for
You’re screwing everyone up
Tell me are you done lying yet
Tonight I know that we’ve wasted all the time
We pulled out all the pieces just to make it right
And I believe that we’ve stepped on all the lines
We cheated all the races just to make it right in our lives
It’s lies. It’s lives.
What are you running for
And should we all come along
We don’t know what to think anymore
Tell what are you hiding from
Tonight I know that we’ve wasted all the time
We pulled out all the pieces just to make it right
And I believe that we’ve stepped on all the lines
We cheated all the races just to make it right in our lives
It’s lies. It’s lives.
What are you running for
And should we all come along
You’re screwing everyone up
Tell what are you hiding from
Tonight I know that we’ve wasted all the time
We pulled out all the pieces just to make it right
And I believe that we’ve stepped on all the lines
We cheated all the races just to make it right
Tonight I know that we’ve wasted all the time
We pulled out all the pieces just to make it right
And I believe that we’ve stepped on all the time
We cheated all the races just to make it
