Bring Your Own Stereo

I don't know if i can get it right
I never put up a fight
I have hard time seeing what is wrong
Sure doesn't take you long
We know there's something better here
Won't fall victim to all your fears
And the dreams they keep on coming
Knife to your throat underwater running
Face it
The sweetness that's on your tongue
You just can't taste it
We're subject to change
And some feelings won't go away
They won't go away

Could you please tell me what i think is right
Why even put up a fight
I don't think there's anything that's wrong
Don't think you think that strong

Feeling now so much pressure here
Don't think you would want to get too near
All the dreams that you gave up running
Knife in my back as you turn

But will you face it
Your reason's not out of reach
Still you chase it
You think it's better to prey than preach
But it won't go away
It won't go away
That empty heart in you
It won't go away
With every thought of you
It won't go away
It won't go away
My only problem is i won't go away
The only problem is it won't go away
Until we face it

You could love this
It's just a little word
You take it out on occasion when it's necessary
We could believe this and lead our hearts astray
Stilnd there are some that say
It doesn't matter anyway
So stay down if you fall
Or find it so unnecessary
To think big or walk tall
You understand me but to the contrary

We could annul this
Such a dirty world
You leave me now
For an invasion that's more than temporary
If we could live here and play the part today
Still there'd be some who'd say
Nothing matters anyway

So stay down if you fall
I find it so unnecessary
To think thin and talk small
True understanding never seemed to carry
Another blow to the head
We could learn to play dead
And fill in the blank

We could achieve bliss if we start today
Or we could play dead and learn to take it instead
Another blow to the head

And you can fill in the blank
I find it so unnecessary to fill in the blank
The answer's always temporary
Fill in the blank
Up close, beauty is far from scary
Can't fill in the blank

Silence again
Save me from thinking
Why don't you open inside
When you open your eyes
Is it part of some game
Save me from sleeping
What's the true meaning of win
When i've lost my towel

Ignore these thoughts
Retrace my steps
My spirit's lost a thousand bets
I won't deny circumstance
Gets greater and harder
I'm just beginning to see
That i'm slowly going bling
And it's not part of some mystery
To be left behind
Silence again
Save me from keeping
This violence within

a simple formula
Music and love
Screw yourself
Forgetting all of the above
If we can't join the fools
Maybe we'll beat them
If you're not playing ball
Then you can eat them
An easy lay
Yeah there's no such luck
With such a little brain
How can i talk so much?
She said get it straight
Or get it gone
You're not the only one
Who can make me cum

Tell your mom to stop calling me
Don't lift your leg on my family tree
Auf weidersehen (ah, my) mon amie
Just tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash

We're piling up in the corner
Can't clean the mess in me
I tried to warn her
But you can't blame the kids
For what they're born into
Still it just maks me sick
To take a whiff of you
Another stupid game
We'll just make up the rules
As we go along
Makes us so dull we drool
And it's a bitter taste
But you'll get used to it
Just try it on for size
That stinky shoe that fits

And tell your mom to stop calling me
And get your axe out of the stump of my family tree
If this is real then i don't think i want to be
Just tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash

But they sure don't make 'em like they used to
Swimmin' in cesspools ready for the bargain bin
I may not wanna but i guess i'll have to choose
To stay alive or jump right in
So i guess i'll have to jump right in
I'm gonna jump right in
Come on and jump right in

And tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash (4x)
Tell your mom takes one to know one
Trash
Tell your mom to stop stealing my
Stash
Tell your mom to stop sending me
Cash
Tell your mom i'm on the radio
Trash

If i saw myself today
With a different set of eyes
If i sold myself to you
Would it be wise
When you've paved out all the lies
Finalize the words that you say

Like i'm not breathing
Whole
If i'm falling
In

I'm just stumbling through my life
By myself

And i sometimes realize
That we have nothing left to save
Still i've never felt this high
And through fortune lights your way
It will never be pure

Promises
Promises
Promises
You and your promises

All i ever really need is you
All i ever really needed was pure in you
In you i'm pure

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while i'm at i t guess i'll take another bath man
And the records out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for the next new phase
Another stupid craze

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She's gonna make me pay for it
I start to sing and cry and then it makes me laugh man

Yeah we've all got doubts
Might not be winning but still in the race
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new face
It might be hard to sell
Still never giving in
Have i given...so deep...oh..well

Will you give it all to me when you're dead
You can keep the scent on my pillow
To settle your broken heart in head

Will you think of me when you die
Holding steady
Moment's notice
Again she left with my heart in hand

She says she hates me
Yeah she's lied before
Again it's time to play me
Yeah it just adds up
That same sad melodic score

I wrote another one
Does this one count
And did it cost as much as all the other ones
So much more..

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while i'm at i t guess i'll take another bath man

Yeah the record's out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moments notice
We'll be ready for her next new face
So i state my case

Would you want a string of pearls
'cause all i got you was a necklace
Made of flowers from a trash can
And she want a string of pearls
Ain't that enough, ma'am?
I think it's worth so much more
