Call It Off

Call it off and face it you win
Sound it out and let that sink in
When all the karma I can save is just a drop on your parade
Call it off again, somehow I really thought we were friends
And I'll be damned if I didn't try to make amends
But now there's no time for any of that
It's hard to lock this all away, when you're like totally insane
Call it off, call it off

Waterloo

We spent way too long, with the same old songs
And now the feeling's gone, so we all move on
It's an honest day to day, but a shit parade
And we wanna make a change, but we always overstay
And I don't want, I don't want that, does anyone want that
Like a tail in a mousetrap, does anyone want that
Anyone but you
Now anyone can say that they're feeling fine
But not everyone can stay fine for all the time
We spent way too long, with the same old songs
And now the feeling's gone, so we all move on
And I don't want, I don't want that, does anyone want that
Like a leg in a bear trap, does anyone want that
There's a running bet upstairs, but we're playing the cold deck
Like a shock, winning upset, does anyone want that
Anyone but you
It's your waterloo, it's the honest truth, it's the perfect ruse
We can see right through, to the real you, still we all assume
We were born to lose

Don't Try So Hard

I don't know what's wrong with, saying all you say to me
And I don't see the harm in seeing you in everything
It feels so right, let go tonight
I remember your place, falling asleep, toe to toe
Happy in a blank space, when there was nowhere else to go

Runaways
02:54

Whatever we wanted, whatever we knew
It's best that I black it out and break this hold on you
And maybe I saw it on tv, they target the oddball types like me
And maybe I wanted, just a little sympathy, a whoa oh
They say it's better to love and lose it all, rather than never feel the fall
But I'm not so sure it's true
whatever we wanted, whatever we knew
It's best to erase that now and break this hold on you
Black out today, you've been a hard chill to break
It's a long road back for a runaway
Light years away, from feeling halfway ok
It's a long road back for a runaway, for a runaway
Fuck yesterday, I've got a lot left to say
It's a long road back for a runaway
Bury me, until the black's all I see
It's a long road back for a runaway
It's a light year back for a throwaway
For a runaway, runaway

Blank Slate
02:43

Here's a connotation, for your generation
Arm the panic stations, this is termination
So lead us on and on, in a sad state
A pity it's all wrong, we're a blank slate
It's a liberation, from your limitations
Sing in jubilation, this is celebration
So carry on and on, you're a fail safe
And sing the same old songs, like a blank slate
There's a strange belief, careful not to overthink
There's a battle cry, American as apple pie
There's a plea, guaranteed, a promise from a Christmas tree
That we can be what we can dream
There's a lie from the sky, a gift from the electric eye
A bag of tricks we misconceived
Don't sit around and wait, it's the first day to clear the slate
It's the first day...

Lonely

You bet I'm making the most of it, 'cuz it's a short ride
And it's the last try
It's colder here than a winter's night, but it's the fourth of July
It's all fireworks tonight
Thankfully, there's a reset one day
It's a plea for peace, but at least it's my way
So anyone like me, play the fool and hit repeat
When you're lonely
'Cuz everybody knows, it all feels fine until you go
And you're lonely, yeah
Day after day, just a head case, it's a bitter ache
It's harder now than the last good night but you're all high fives
And I'm dead inside
Sing to me, like you'll mean it someday
You can count to three, just to meet me halfway
So anyone like me, play the fool and hit repeat
When you're lonely
'Cuz everybody knows, it all feels fine until you go
And you're lonely
All I wanted was an end, to the way we both pretend
It's all ok...
Play the fool, now
