you know in all of the time that we've shared
I've never been so scared
doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there

MONKEY WRENCH
what have we done with innocence
it disappeared with time
it never made much sense
adolescent resident
wasting another night on planning my revenge
one in ten
don't wanna be your monkey wrench
one more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends
now and then I'll try to bend
under pressure
wind up snapping in the end
one last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
and all the shit that somehow came along with it
still there's one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I'm free
don't wanna be your monkey wrench

HEY JOHNNY PARK!
Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colours
Everything fades in time it's true
Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you?
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never knowAm I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue
Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you
***
MY POOR BRAIN
real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
that's where our heads are
my head and your heart
this is a black out
don't let it go to waste
this is a black out
I want to detonate
when you are so far
I'm falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam my radar
sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
between the handshake and the fuck
you've got me on guard
I've got my head start
my head and your heart
the same in the stars
sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
o.k.

WIND UP
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you've been delt
spare me confession
it's confession you sell
maybe I'll fall behind
but I don't mind
because I'll catch up
I want a song that's indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
will I be happy on the back of the shelf
will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you'll realize
that I get shy and I choke up
what is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I'll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet
take the beating
until I take it back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
***
UP IN ARMS
the rain is here
and you my dear
are still my friend
it's true the two of us
are back as one again
I was the one who left you
always coming back
I cannot forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
together now I don't know how this love could end
my lonely heart
it falls apart for you to mend
***
MY HERO
too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down
and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he's ordinary
don't the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
kudos my hero
leaving all the best
you know my hero
the one that's on
