Burn After Listening

The dissection of my brain to find out and see
Just why you have this hold on me
Killing brain cells to show you your way out of my head
But they just welcome you back in instead

I think I'd love the way you taste
Just know I'm free
Tomorrow is a new day
So don't talk to me

What does that say about me to want to be your girl?
Unhinge my jaw to make it easier to curse the world
Time's no excuse
Loving you's no use
So I'm gonna have to cut you loose

Please don't call me your girl
Unless you want me to hurl
Unless you want me to stay
I don't want to be replaced

The dissection of my brain to find out and see
Just why you have this hold on me
Killing brain cells to show you your way out of my head
But they just welcome you back in with open arms instead
Time's no excuse
Loving you's no use
So I'm gonna have to cut you loose

FREE(DUMB)

I need someone to care
And I need someone to be there
Just be there
And no one's there, no one cares
At least I have my dreams
So it seems

I pack my pain in luggage with me
And it's just getting way too heavy
I need my dreams to lift me, oh

So I keep a couple in my pocket safe for when I need
To pull the chord right out the socket
And finally be free

I need someone to say
That I'm not just in the way
But no one will, no one feels
Like it's their place

So I pack my pain in luggage with me
Yes it's just getting way too heavy
I need my dreams to lift me, oh

So I keep a couple in this locket
Yes open it up and see
All the hours I've been clocking
To finally be free

YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME

One kiss, one little sigh

That's all you gave me when you said goodbye

But someday baby, someday darling

You're gonna miss me

Long gone is your caress

And with it all my happiness

‘Cause someday baby, someday darling

You're gonna miss me, oh yeah

One of these nights

You'll wake up crying

But I won't be there to comfort you

You'll turn on the light

You'll go on crying

'Cause only my true love can chase away your blues

Oh yes, you're gonna learn

I'm not the only one whose heart will burn 'Cause someday baby, someday darling

You're gonna miss me, miss me, miss me

Yeah someday baby

You're gonna miss me

BAD DAY

I wake up at the crack of dawn
just to hear him scream out loud
"Fuck the world
and fuck my mom for bringing me in it"

But it takes two (it takes two)
Oh it takes two (it takes two)
Yeah it takes two (it takes two)

"So fuck my dad for bringing me in it too

Yeah fuck him too
And fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you"

I guess it's safe to say
He's having a bit of a bad day
Yeah yeah yeah
I ask if he's okay
He whispers to me
Yeah yeah yeah
"Fuck you."

Well, fuck you, too

And you know what?
Your mom's actually really nice
Your dad not so much
I'm only trying to help
And for that
Fuck you
It takes two (it takes two)
Oh it takes two (it takes two)
Yeah it takes two (it takes two)
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you

COME DOWN

I'm here in the same room
I'm not easy to lose
I've been buried in my mind
Don't worry about me, it's a waste of your time

I'm so paranoid I'll never leave this chair
I wonder what they think if only I could care
My vision of the world is changing
How long will it take for me to come down

Are you even there at all
Lost in the paper on the wall
My silence is a shout
I wish that someone would come and pull me out

I see it all for what it is
And that's some scary shit
A time to be alive
But I

I'm so paralyzed my brain just stops and stares
You'll look at me and wonder if it's there
My vision of the world is changing
How long will it take for me to come down, down, down
'Cause I don't feel like I'll ever come down
No I don't feel like I'm ever coming down

WHITE KNUCKLES

Baby baby baby
Why are you messing with my head
Baby baby baby
Why don't you walk away instead
I'm not gonna be like all those other girls
That sit and wait for you
Yeah I got shit to do so

I don't care if you are angry
I'm still having fun
Your knuckles turning white
From all that cursing at the sun

Yeah it's about time we called it
Maybe it was just a dream
I don't care if you are angry
Nothing's as it seems

Baby baby baby
Why are you filling me with guilt
Baby baby baby
If you don't water me I'll wilt
I don't wanna be on your mind only
When it is convenient
You don't see it, but

You have shown me many times that
You are not the one
So I don't care if you are angry
I'm still having fun

All that I wanted was to be acknowledged
If you're not the problem
You're making it worse
I understand why I didn't date in college
Now you can go do it to some other girl

Oh
Yeah it's about time we called it
Maybe it was just a dream
I don't care if you are angry
Nothing's as it seems
It's about time we called it
Maybe it was just a dream
I don't care if you are angry
Nothing's as it seems

Baby baby baby
Why are you messing with my head

CROSS MY FINGERS

I feel dumb
I feel numb
Too much smoke in my lungs
Breathe it in 'till you're gone
You aren't here
You're no fun

Throw me out and now I'm afraid
You just used me as a band-aid
Cross my fingers hoping to die
You can't look me in the eye

I feel bruised
I feel used
Only me left to choose
Was it all just a lie
You aren't here
I know why

Past my use no reason to save
Stuck to you just like a band-aid
Knew I wouldn't last for long
Thought you loved me
I was wrong

I'm coughing up all the smoke
I hope when you think of me you choke
On every word that you said
It made me wish I were dead

Just admit you threw me away
You just used me as a band-aid
Cross my fingers hoping to die
Look me in my fucking eyes

Past my use no reason to save
Stuck to you just like a band-aid
Knew I wouldn't last for long
Thought you loved me
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong

I was wrong
