5 Acres 02:02
Don’t care, don’t care, go away What did I do to deserve this from you? What did I say to make you? Make you and break you with one hand Well that was in my plan, but this is where I stand Cuz you’ve gone to 5 acres of land and maybe there You’ll keep a friend, keep in touch I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you so much So much I want to die Well at least now I can try, at least now I can try Cuz you’ve gone to 5 acres of land and maybe there Keep on puppy-dog eyeing You say you like sitting in your own shit Well there in the doghouse you’re lying Remember the rose garden you never promised me Give an inch, take a mile You say you can’t change time, and there’s no reason, no rhyme No rhyme or reason you see Cuz the worm I am eating away at both you and me So you’re going to 5 acres of land, and maybe there You’ll keep a friend

He says he feels your pain, he felt mine too He feels everything that belongs to you He builds a trap that you can't see For wholesome girls like you and me It doesn't mater if your sleeping To get the control that he has been seeking He wants to make employment out of you He's scared, Because he knows his working days are through Because he's fired I'll say it again, there's no good time for this to end Come on, fired I'll say it again there's no good time for this to end Even though he's secret and true You know, the same old shit won't do Come on, fired I'll say it again, there's no good time for this He says he feels your pain he felt mine too He'll say anything to get inside of you Resistance to his trap, resistance to him You're either irrational or on some kind of whim You haven't changed, no not at all Except now your teasing gives him blue balls He wants to work by taking care of you He's scared, because he knows these words are true Spit it out, spit it out Chew until my heart's eaten out This is what it's all about for you, for you It's always about you Eat until you're full of me Suck me dry until I don't have anything Inside out, inside of me You're inside out, get out of me Don't tell me what is mine This time you'll just have to get out Because this is mine This time

I’ve run out of nice things to say I get so tired of playing it safe Say what? You respect me a lot What’s it to you? Is this what you expect me to do? You say what? What do I mean? What do I mean? Did I do and say ‘that’s fucked up’? You know it’s true Changed my mind, I guess that’s fine This is what I was supposed to do Words you use to try and alienate You talk so big you put me in my place We’ve been running around Some tales to be found I’ve found a door We’ve got some dialogue to do I say that, everything that comes out of my mouth has been said a lot You know it’s true, talking in circles is all that we do I’d rather eat glass, gonna’ be in your ass

Will you wear white, Will you wear white On your wedding Day, Will you wear white Will you tell them what you did to me, Will you tell them everything Will you wear white, Will you wear white On your wedding day, Will you wear white The guilt shows through everything I won't cry at your wedding I don't cry at weddings Don't think you can start again You've got my insides all over your hands Don't think you can ever hide You stain everything you touch with your hands Don't think I will let you forget Because I will never be able to forget I know who you are You think you can pretend with me, I still remember everything I won't cry at your wedding I don't cry at weddings Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll get you tomorrow, You're only a day away Tomorrow, tomorrow, I wait for tomorrow to wash all this dirt away I now pronounce you, I now pronounce you, I now pronounce you dead Die, Die, Die, Die, Die, Die, Die (at your wedding) I won't cry (for you) You can't do this to me (again) The guilt will show through

What's the matter with you? Do as you want me to do They always said you were the clever sentimentalist Sensitive, seductive, and easy to tease No fair Pull out your hair You know they like you better on your knees Don't be such a baby I only like you 'cause I know you're gonna make me Big, so big Lengendary protege You know they like me when I have nothing to say, yeah What's the matter with you? Make me a product of you They always said you were the fascinating mystery Shaped into the right size for their hands To touch, to mold, to shape until they have control You know they like girls better when they're dead The code is discretion No one know it is I don't tell them Your rules, your game The things you do to make me tame And then you say That you're gonna change, yeah yeah When you tell me that you hate me Won't you look me in the eyes? Don't be such a baby I only fuck you 'cause I know you're gonna make me Big, so big Legendary protege You know you got the drop dead look, yeah

Designated shotgun is not the throne I want to placed on And the thrill of a ride in ambulance to you is fun So you say you are grieving cuz there is so much pain But you barely ever reach And my heart is bleeding so Go away, don’t come back some other day So you say you’re grieving But you’re really just complaining Cuz your problem’s leaving, and mine is staying so Go away, don’t come back Lamentations is all that I hear I bet you don’t even go to the doctor once a year And I bet true pain to you is a scream in your ear But that’s really just a word and Cuz your problem’s leaving, and mine is staying so

Last night I thought I'd just go ahead and pull my hair out I hate to wait around for failure I'd rather do it on my own Then wait The nervousness never fades This not an invitation For you to crawl inside of me This is not your love song to analyze More like a good sleep remedy This is song I wanted to write about this girl I know But I know you'd all just twist it into what you wanted me to say And mean You don't know a thing All these things I want to tear right out of me Like how it matters how I care what people think It's you it's you it's you it's you We've got to get out of here before it kills us I'm going to put my heart right on the page and let It bleed right through There's nothing else to do The words, they're eaten all The words The words they want to Eat this up Runners take your places Ready on your marks Gun goes, they're off Runners leave the start I watch you as your run away With part of my heart I'm stuck here at the start You finished with my heart

Framed 02:14
Some could say they were framed By the very hand that feeds them wao The story’s always the same Gotta find someone else to blame wao There is always someone to blame Always under control, it’s only natural Monkae see as monkae do Portrait of painful perfection Exists up close, perfect protection Did u picture? Did u picture this? Said enjoy it while it lasts There’s too much grey to see contrast It’s never good enough, and fashion is a must I never thought of biting the hand that feeds me But now I’m growing fangs and I haven’t eaten in days It’s not scheduled to do I get cranky from all this work I do At least I don’t look like I used to Did u picture? Did u picture this? Said to take a chill pill I know I do my own thing Well children get it right Someone’s got their time too tight Well we are right
