V-1
I’m ready for the world if it’s ready for me
(I’m ready, I’m ready y’all)
And you a lucky girl to ride passenger seat
(Right beside me, but don’t you talk)
I sure hope you had time to prepare a speech
(Get your paper out and write it down)
Cause I'm your trophy man and this is your receipt
(Count it up - 5x)
Pre-Chorus
We’ve spent 4 years of our lives on this rollercoaster ride
Dip, flip, side to side. Slip, slip, temp'tures rise
We get singed, get the friends, get the gin, we deny
We defend, count to ten, but in the end we survive...cause
Chorus
Do Do Do Do-D-Doooo (2x)
I’m the best you can do (2x)
Do Do Do Do-D-Doooo (2x)
And you’re most likely probably the best that I can do too
He’s the best, best, best, best, best you can do.
He’s the best, best, best, best, best you can do?
V-2
This ain’t no prison sentence
Take commitment off your wish list
I mean marriage, not commitment
My bad Ms., my lips got twisted
Listen (4x)
There’s no need to get suspicious
Superstitious bout my business
Cause your man is so delicious
Ambitious looking vicious
In a vintage, windows tinted
(bass) tremendous and it’s rented
Out the roof, arms extended
Listen (4x)
It’s our time, but there’s limits
So I recommend we spend it
Till our spirits are ascended
Pre-Chorus
We’ve spent 4 years of our lives on this rollercoaster ride
Dip, flip, side to side. Slip, slip, temp'tures rise
We get singed, get the friends, get the gin, we deny
We defend, count to ten, but in the end we survive...cause
Chorus
Bridge
La, la, la, la, la, la (2x)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha (2x)
Chorus 2x

V-1:
Ok, so here we go again
Stomp out the apartment, go stay with your friends
Go say how I been
Go pray for my sins
We can play pretend, but I play to win
I'm a razor blade and you paper thin
I recommend we just make amends
Look at all this time, we wasting it
Things ain't gone change, start facing it
It aight broke, no need replacing it
You try to taze me with your eyes looking Hades
Then I soften you with talk of making babies
Come out the son, let's go back to where it's shady
Eat some m&ms and sip on lemonadies
You my top 10 lady
I'm the mash potatoes you that hot skin gravy
I know we argue a lot since...lately
But I'm sure one day it'll stop then...maybe
Anyway, go ahead and finish packing
See you next week when the drama queen's finished acting
CHORUS
V-2:
Ha, Ha you sure showed me!
You haven't answered my calls, it's been 12 weeks
And 3 days and 2 hours
and 40 minutes...but who's counting
Ok I get it, it was my fault that we splitted
If you get this message call me back, I think you over did it
I'm sinking, I admit it...it hurts...let's mend this
You know what, no...you took it all, so just keep it all and let's end this

Funeral
03:56

CHORUS
What kind of space are you living in?/
When the moment you wake up, you've given in/
Where everyday is a funeral
Day is a funeral, Day is a funeral/
Everyday is a funeral
Day is a funeral, Day is a funeral/
V-1
No...I can't...
I won't...God grant m-
what God?...I'm
I'm slanted, my vantage is damaged
Hope has no advantage
Gold has turned to granite
Bold has turned to panic
Control has turned to manic
It hurts to search this rubble,
When every single body has vanished
This work ain't worth the trouble,
It's been months now, I can't manage
Words too slurred to understand
I carved out my own language
I feed on what's preserved and repress thoughts I can't vanquish
CHORUS
V-2
I'm awakened in the middle of the night to the sounds of footsteps on concrete/
Street lights off I'm trying to make out silhouettes that I see/
They're moving kinda like machines/
Lined up like marines/
They might be hybrid beings/
I don't know, it's just good to see humans/
Wait...that height, those legs, that neck, those shoulders/
That waiste...I can't see the face, but that's...her/
I tried to run to her, but every move was slow/
I watched as they all walked into a black hole/
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Why is this happening, what debt do I owe?
I finally found somebody I know, somebody I love
Only ghosts dwell everywhere that I sow
I lost everything that I know, everything that I was
CHORUS

Trying Not to Die

V-1
System absorption
Endorphins on starships
I'm nauseous...
But I've orphaned my conscious
I can taste the night
Let's lace it right
I don't wanna remember
What it's face is like
Pre-Chorus
Cause I don't wanna think
And I don't wanna focus
I don't need no shrink
To tell me the prognosis
Don't ask me no questions
Cause I'mma probably lie
I'm just trying not to
Trying not to...
Chorus
Trying not to die (4x)
V-2
I sink into an ocean of regret
If I drink this potion I'll forget
If I sniff distortion I'll repress
This black stone that's orbiting my chest
I walk along the darkest depths
A thousand thoughts and all distressed
I think the walls are closing in
I feel the claws across my neck
Undress the night
We all are naked
We try to hide
But nothing's sacred
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
When the sun fades from the skyline
(The light shall fade away)
The kingdom of the night shall rise
(And the dark will take it’s place)
Electricity in their eyes
(It’ll burn to the inside)
And I'll become just like them (just like them) to survive.
Pre-Chorus
Chorus

V-1
Nothing’s making sense anymore
Especially when you ain’t involved
Saw my reflection in a glass jar
And found where my planet revolved
I’ve evolved (I’ve evolved)
I was stupid (I was stupid), I was wrong (I was wrong)
I was gone (I was gone)
And you knew it
That’s why you left me on my own,
had to treat me like I’m grown
And I earned it
Now I’m learning
...that hard way
Walking along this causeway
Guess karma dealt me a large plate
Wish that came with a charred steak
Ain’t had a real meal in months
I can feel my palms shake
Hope there’s a road somewhere in these bumps
And I hope that road will lead me to you
And I hope that road will lead me to truth
I don’t know how this all will end
But when we’re face to face maybe then I’ll know what to do.
Chorus
V-2
The days are barren
The nights are full
I run my errands
Then the blinds are pulled
A cup of fear for dinner
A little paranoia for breakfast
Leftovers for lunch
And you already know what the next is
I can’t live like this no more, I gotta find you
Can’t rely on my memories to define you
I’ll put my life on the line to be beside you
And free you, like you freed me
I hope this road will lead me to you
And I hope this road will lead me to truth
I don’t know how this all will end
But when we’re face to face maybe then I’ll know what to do.
Chorus

V-1:
Running in the middle of the dark
I embark on a quest to find you
Summoned by the spark that is kept inside you
I'm hunting for the place where I saw you drop, I'm steps behind you
I won't deny you
I just wanna hear you breath
I just wanna know you're alright
I never wanna see you leave
Just hold tight
PRE-CHORUS
But I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid
I'm about to risk it all, there's no other way
CHORUS
V-2
I'm standing on the edge, hands full of sweat, plans in effect
I'm trying to be calm, but I can't cause I'm vexed
I'm commanding my courage to cancel my nervous and handle what's next
All hands on deck
I just wanna hear you breath
I just wanna know you're alright
I never wanna see you leave
Just hold tight
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
