Tell Her Some Lies

i know you see her around the city
she's always laughin' with the boys who have more money than me
if she asks how i'm doing
tell her i am better
that i got a job
i pay my rent
and got my shit together
if she mentions the streets
tell her i'm off them
if she mentions the drugs
tell her i'm off them
i know she kicks it 'round the same places you do
telling the masses i practice black magic and voodoo
i know she's movin' on with her life
if she asks how i'm doing just tell her some lies

i met her in a burning building
we were standing on the top floor
as the smoke filled our lungs
we knew we had to run
we could stay there no more
we head for the window
i smashed the glass open with my arm
quickly moved our feet
down toward the street
our hearts beat louder than alarm
the floors below us were blazing
we knew that we would not make it
when the fire gets too hot
the moment's all you got
so you had better take it
sirens off in the distance
were never gonna get there in time
so i held onto her tight
every ounce of my might
for our last minutes of time
and we had one last dance on the fire escape
and our hair began to singe away
and our skin began to melt away
but the music
it still played

if you ever saw a ghost
would you run away,
or would you remember?
sometimes Hell can be a man's favorite spot
sometimes sin is good, for some like it hot
sometimes these demons are all that you got . . .
exorcisms aren't for everybody
if you ever heard a scream
would you think of me,
because you remember?
sometimes Hell can be a man's favorite spot
sometimes sin is good, for some like it hot
sometimes these demons are all that you got . . .
ExORcIsmS arEn't fOr EverYbODy
if you ever smelled a death
would you hold your breath,
or would you remember?
sometimes Hell can be a man's favorite spot
sometimes sin is good, for some like it hot
sometimes these demons are all that you got

Chord Progressions

been livin' life like a caterpillar
never took the chance to be a butterfly
it's far too late for me to grow my wings
it's far too late for me to try
'cause my name ain't the weather
and i ain't gonna change
my name ain't the weather
so i ain't gonna change
and i keep writing the same songs
about the same things
the same chord progressions
and i keep holding on
to my broken dreams
like first impressions
stuck on repeat like a broken record
keep spinning back to the same ol' line
telling ghost stories that i've told before
ain't nothing new
ain't no surprise
'cause my name ain't the weather
and i ain't gonna change
my name ain't the weather
so i ain't gonna change
and i keep writing the same songs
about the same things
the same chord progressions
and i keep holding on
to my broken dreams
like first impressions

A Good Day for a Murder

my gramma always said
whenever it rained outside
"it's a good day for a murder
so we better stay inside"
cause you never know
who is out there waiting for you
you never know
so let's let the storm pass through
i always tried to listen to gramma
but if i ever get stuck in the rain
i keep an eye over my shoulder
i keep my foot out of the drain
cause you never know
who is out there waiting for you
you never know
so just let the storm pass through
you never know
who is ready to take your life
you never know
who's got a gun, or a knife
you never know
who's gone crazy on days like this

i get the feelin' that you're gonna break my heart
but i won't let it stop me
i get the feelin' that i'm gonna fall apart
but i won't let it stop me
because the night
that's what i live for
because the sun is just no surprise
in the moonlight
i will always give more
because the sun is just no surprise
i get the feelin' that i'm gonna lose my nerve
but i won't let it stop me
i get the feelin' i'm gonna get what i deserve
but i won't let it stop me
i get the feelin' that you're gonna fuck with my head
but i won't let it stop me
i get the feelin' that i'm gonna wind up dead
but i won't let it stop me

Tug of War

i was walking home from school
when i ran into a fool who didn't like
the way i existed
he knocked me to the ground
i made a whimpering sound
as i resisted
i tried to fight him back
but i didn't have the knack
for street fighting
he stopped to tie his shoes
but i still knew i would lose
'cause i always lose
at tug of war
i was early for the job
working for this guy named Bob
who would ride my ass no matter the day
he knew that he was right
even if he wasn't right
and i would always do the shit
whatever he say
there was no use to argue
or stand up for myself
because he knew i needed the money
for a new pair of shoes
and he knew that i would lose
'cause i always lose
at tug of war
i'm lacing up my shoes
but i know i'm gonna lose
'cause i always lose
