1.Masterpiece Theatre I
First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
Clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need
When all I want is here
I've been here so very long and every word is calculating
Every question all debated
All these practice -- I could wreck it if I had to
But I'm the wreck so what would that do？
My masterpiece will fall apart
It was over before the start
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while？
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
Making mostly to themselves
Don't make a sound in case they hear you
It only hurts me to be near you
Keep those tired eyes closed
Careful, follow my instruction
And I will show you self-destruction
This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while？
This is just a part I portray
Can I hide in you a while？
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
This is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while？
You're beautiful
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
I don't know how it got this way
2.All To Myself
I don't patronize
I realize I'm losing and this is my real life
I'm half asleep and I am wide awake
This habit is always so hard to break
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I been blaming myself and I think you know why
I'm killing time and time's killing you
every way that I do
Did you say please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
I'm under the gun, feel like the only one
I just can't decide what I'm running from
This isn't what I wanted but
I can't keep my filthy fucking mouth shut
It's not enough, it's never enough
And I wish I could breathe without getting this stuck
Can't focus it but I try it over and over again
Did you say please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like...
Did you say please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I can't stay with someone else
I'll try to suck it up
I just keep fucking up
I want you all to myself
Did you say please just follow me
I thought you wanted me
Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up
I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
3.Cross My Heart
So here's another day I'll spend away from you
Another night, I'm on another broken avenue
My bag is ripped and worn, then again now so am I
Take what you want to take, what you wannt to take, what you
I miss the stupid things, we'd go to sleep and then,
You wake me up and kick me out of bed at 3 am
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me
Do what you want to do, what you want to do, what you
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore,
I cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to
Hotels are all the same, you're still away from me
Another day, another dollar that I'll never see
Can I get a piece of, piece of, piece of something good
I'd like just a little, like just a little, like just a
I wonder what you're doing, I wonder if you doubt it
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it
Now I know where I go I'm coming back to you
I'll be where I oughta, be where I oughta, be where I
Take me with you, I start to miss you
Take me home, I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore,
I cross my heart and hope to die
Take me with you, I start to miss you (x9)
Take me with home I don't wanna be alone tonight
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
And I do want to show you
I will run to you for you till
I can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
4.Beside You
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
When you're overwhelmed
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know
Is blurring nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
I will sing
Nobody will break you
Trust in me, trust in me, don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust me
Cause I'm just trying to keep it together
Cause I could do worse and you could do better
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
5.Acadia
In the house I grew up in
My room in the basement
The hours turning
To years we've spent
Remember Chris in the back yard
Laughing so damn hard
And no one knew why
But the rest is forgotten
Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone
Ran out of gas on the highway
We walked there and I gave
Drunken speeches on sobriety
Now we've all moved away and
Somehow we came in
But I remember where it began at
Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone
Remember in 1712
Acadia road fell
They tore the house down
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone
Acadia is gone
In the house I grew up in
Remember the faces
When Andrew and I wrecked
Each other's cars and
Acadia is, Acadia is gone
6.Masterpiece Theatre II
I will softly pull away
In this broken beautiful mess I've made
And in the dead and quiet I will slowly fade
In this masterpiece I made
I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here？
Making mostly to themselves
Hush now they'll hurt you till your heart melts
They know you're lonely
And they will only break your heart
And this masterpiece will tear you apart
I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here？
First it comes alive, creeping quiet
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here all night？
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do？
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do？
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do？
7.Sing Sing
Can I have your attention？
I just open my mouth
Is it clear？
Is it loud for you？
You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down
It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could
Are you hearing me now？
Heard the sad little sounds
as they fall
from my mouth
You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down
It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could
All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best
I just need a minute
I just need a breathe
You're very hard to drink to my continued success
Do I have your attention？
You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again (together again)
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down
It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could
All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best
All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best
8.Good To You (Feat. Kate Voegele)
Everyone's around, no words are coming out.
And I can't find my breathe, can we just say the rest with no
sound.
And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up.
And I'm not prepared, sorry is never there when you need it.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I would.
Thought I saw a sign, somewhere between the lines.
Maybe it's me, maybe I only see, what I want.
But I still have your letter, to stock up between.
Someone I just invented, and who I am really am.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
You bring me higher.
I would.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I'd be good to you,
I'd be good to you,
I'd be good to you...
9.Celebrity Status
I look around round round look around and look it over
I take it up up shake it out and take it over
Trading in who Ive been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over
It never stop stops never stops well you better
think it over primadona you dont want to sever
All the work to impress charming girls out of their dresses
And smiling pretty well pretty will shallow you forever
Step one step two step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats
and I disappear behind the beat yeaaah
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake and shut your mouth
I wonder why why I wonder why why I outta
let you wreck resurrect whatever you want to
I cant depend in the end you know I thought you were my friend
Just stop just stop just stop I think I got it
Sorry you sorry me every in between
sorry everybody here will never be somebody clean
There's a piece of me they're throwing back at us
and they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status
Step one step two step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats
and I disappear behind the beat yeaaah
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake and shut your mouth
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake and shut your mouth
look around round look around round look around (repeat)
I'm tryn, I'm tryn, I'm tryn, I'm tryn (repeat)
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake and shut your mouth
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I'd never guess how we ever could have got here
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake and shut your mouth
I'm tryn, I'm tryn, I'm tryn
10.Perfect
Please sing to me, I can see you open up to breathe.
Fast words make it easier on me, make a point to never
disappoint you,
somebodies got to tell me what to do.
Just wish you would've seen me when it used to come so easy.
I like to say it's easy to stay but it's not for me, cause I'm
barely here at all.
Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now everything is perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything until it's perfect again.
Coming down, coming around,
giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground.
I hate the way that I say I should say
when I know that I don't give a fuck about it anyway.
Shake hands, ？ smiles all around,
as I sell my body by the pounds.
Sign my name on the dotted line,
it would be fate, to not recessitate.
Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now I'll still make this perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything till it's perfect again.
I think it's better this way,
This is good in a better way.
It's better this way.
I'll make this perfect again.
I'll make this perfect again.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
And I will change everything you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, woah yeah.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, I'll make this perfect again.
11.Lover Dearest
This place is a hole, and I don't want to go.
I wish we could stay here forever alone.
This time that we waste, but i still love your taste.
Don't let him take my place, don't just sit there.
Sometimes I wish you would leave me.
Well I'm not sick of you yet, is this as good as it gets,
I'll just say it, or i could slip into you,
I stand for awhile, and waited for words,
Seemed to not hurt and struggled to try.
My tongue's turning black, but I'll take you back.
You're still the best more or less, I guess, I guess.
Don't you leave me, well I'm not sick of you yet,
is that as good as it gets,
I'll just say it, or I could slip into you,
its so easy to come back into you.
It hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay.
And it might be alright if you go.
It hurts me to say that I want you to stay,
but it might be alright if you go.
So leave me, well I'm not sick of you yet,
is that as good as it gets.
I'll just try to hide it, or I could slip into you,
it's so easy to come back into you.
Sometimes I think that the bitter in you, and the quitter in me,
is the bitter in you and the quitter in me.
The bitter in you, and the quitter in me,
is the bitter in you and the quitter in me.
The bitter in you, and the quitter in me,
is better than the both of us.
12.Masterpiece Theatre III
I got a new disease in me
I got a friend that's losing sleep
I take it hard, it's hard to take
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
One more confession, discretion's not what I need to sell
I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself
and now, that's just how I tell I'm wide awake
I'll wreck this if I have to
tell me, what good would that do？
I'll wreck this if I have to
I'd be so good to you
I'd be so good to you
You get separated, somebody's gone
and I don't know how this is wrong
and I'm so frustrated, falling behind
You were a friend of mine
Be so good to you
Cause they don't know you like I do
They don't know you like I do
They don't know you like I do
They don't know you like I do
There's a difference from me to them
And the road home is paved --- requiem
I could never go
Go back home again
Acadia is gone
All my indecision, all of my excess
don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best
and I just need a minute, I just need a breath
You're very hard to drink to my continued success
And I slow down, slow
It's better in the worst way
It's getting better in the worst way
Look around round look around round look around
Look around round look around round look around
Look around round look around round look around
Look around round look around round look around
So here's another day
I spend away from you
another night I'm on another broken avenue
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you got it
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it
All that works to impress
Trying to get girls out of their dress smiling pretty and pretty
at you
I am beside you
I, I am right beside you
I, I'll make this perfect again
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Hope to die
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Hope to die
I've been here so very long
I can slip into you
It's so easy to come back into you
I'll hide in, can I hide in you a while？
I'm not sick of you yet
It's not as good as it gets
I never took you for a trick but sometimes,
I don't know what you want
I could take it if you need to take this out on someone
I don't know how it got this way
