In The Unlikely Event

The Fall Of Troy In The Unlikely Event Lyrics
1.Battleship Graveyard

I've been calling you plenty of things
This is how it feels when neon turns to grey
I'm barely here, you're losing your touch my dear.
I'll be sincere, I simply can't hide my fear

Tasteless fashion following the herds
You say, 'Actions speak louder than words'
But anyways... I'm barely here, you're losing your touch my dear
I'll be sincere, I simply can't hide my fear

Back and forth... back and forth

(SO FIRE AT WILL!!! FIRE AT WILL!!!)

Raise your hand.
Ask permission before you speak to the class!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Twisting our bodies, to exaggerate our games
And dust that decays, in this space, do you feel safe?
I can't behave

Take a drink and pass it my way... you want me? come crawling
baby...
Tell me everything is okay, lie to me, die for me tonight
You're gonna get yourself in trouble baby
Gonna get yourself caught up in some drama alright
Cause you've been cheating and been lying honey
Never thought that I could say goodbye, but maybe tonight...


2.Straight-Jacket Keelhauled

You're in the past, can you get over that?
(RECOVER... RECOVER!)
I think I might pick a fight tonight,
I'm not willing to compromise
(YOU'RE NOTHING... YOU'RE NOTHING!)
...And I could twist everything,
the lies will coagulate
(WE SUFFER, WE SUFFER!)
Then when you exaggerate;
You're always pinning the blame
(ON SOMEONE, ON SOMEONE!)

Can you get over that?

Fucking ridiculous, cursing a time that I felt.
Hangout and have a few...
DOES THIS EXCITE YOU? ANSWER ME!!!

MAN OVERBOARD! MAN OVERBOARD!


3.A Classic Case Of Transference

Every thing was right until you came in
And ran your dirty mouth
Spouting out anecdotes of nastiness
And then indulge yourself attracting
On to anyone that listens well
You're the one who's fucked up
I won't pretend to be your friend ever again

Get me off, then get off me
I've had enough of you
Your name, your frame are nothing new

I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know that you're spent
But we're not finished yet
I've got my own life to transcend

You make everyone look like
They're wrong, and your always right
But at night you sleep alone
And i know you're bed is cold
Though you don't say so
Maybe lately I can't
Wait to get away from you
And your negativity

So get me off then get off me
I've had enough of you
Your name, your frame are nothing new

I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know that you're spent
But we're not finished yet
I've got my own heart to transcend
So catch me if you can

If i could say one thing
I'd probably have a conniption that
People standing up for you

If i could say one thing
I'd probably have a conniption that
People standing up to you

I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know we've just met
But we're going to bed
I've got my own shit to transcend
So catch me if you can
You can
You can


4.Nobody's Perfect

If you want me
You can call me every day and every night
Say you miss me
I'll stay by your side
If you need me
Please don't think that everything will be alright
So misleading
But love gets lost in time

Keep moving
If all the stupid lives come out
Scream and shout
Keep losing
If all your friends are enemies
Just say please

If it's easier for you
Pretend it's true
Tell yourself that I never loved you anyway

If we lose control
(?)
After all the shit
It all amounts to nothing(?)

Everything is here to be
Standing on an apple seed
Something here's not meant to be
Somethings not reality

Star struck on reality
Now's the time to apologize
Now's the time to think over

As we tell the truth
You smile
Nobody's perfect... right?


5.Panic Attack!

I fucking hate myself
'Cause my words just contradict this
Why do they?

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Distorting the truth
To lie to you again

Stuck in this hole
Where no one will ever go
Have to find somewhere else
When someone else says
'What offences?'

As if to
Ignore you
On purpose just cause I can

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Distorting my truth
To lie to you again

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Disconnect from them
To side with you again

If I go down
I'm taking the world with me

As if to
Ignore you
On purpose just cause I can

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Distorting her truth
To lie to you again

Black and white has never been so right
Black and white has never been so bright

Woah!

A silent sky speaks
Eats me alive
Looking for a Ladder to Climb through all their bile.

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Distorting my truth
To lie to you again

Here we go again
Losing all my friends
Disconnect from them
To side with you again

Black and white has never been so right
Black and white has never been so bright


6.Single

Just because you went another way
Doesn't mean you aren't my everything
I've been thinking about you everyday
Trust me...

Save yourself there's nothing here to hold you down

In the shadow of the overpass
I can see everything is a mess
If you're happy honey raise your glass
Throw it back, give a slap, all on me
You fractured my heart once again
Fractured my heart once again

Just because you've gone another road
Doesn't mean that you don't have a home
You have a piece of me to call your own
You go home

Save yourself there's nothing left to tell
I'm blacking out your memories, I'm casting out a spell
Save yourself there's nothing left to hold you down

In the shadow of the overpass
I can see everything is a mess
If you're happy honey raise your glass
And throw it back, give a slap, all on me
You fractured my heart once again
Fractured my heart once again

In your own way you were trusting everything
In your own way you just ran away from me


7.Empty The Clip, The King Has Been Slain, Long Live The Queen!

I've been staying up all night to kill the pain
And you're the one to blame
It drives me insane

If you're seeking closure then I can't help you babe
Despite what I might say
Today is the day

I'll be knocking on the door
Keeping everything alright
Until the morning light, is creeping in

If you want to have it
You want it
You got exactly what you asked for
I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me

You want it
You got exactly what you asked for
I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me

Counting seconds, hating minutes, lasting hours
She is so sour
I taste her disdain

If you were hoping
A choke can let you down
The crowds will scream aloud
'The king has been slain!'

I'll be knocking on the door
Keeping everything alright
Until the morning light, is creeping in

If you want to have it
You want it
You got exactly what you asked for
I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me

You want it
You got exactly what you asked for
I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me

I'll just wait here 'till I get my own way
Settle down and take a ride

If we're gonna empty the
Clip of this gun

I hope you intend on having good aim!

I'll be knocking on the door
Keeping everything alright
Until the morning light, is creeping in

But if you have to have it
You want it
You got exactly what you asked for

I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me
You want it
You got exactly what you asked for

I'm waiting
You have me right here where you want me


8.People And Their Lives

The setting sun
Shall rain to pass the fun
For everyone
But I don't show anyone

First, I'm the worst
To believe is your real friend
I won't, ever, leave this bed again

When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This rain has been lifted, into the sky

Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping

Dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's real now
That you don't have me inside
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined

When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This rain has been lifted, into the sky

Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Until I'm dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's real now
That you don't have me inside
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined

When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This rain has been lifted, into the sky

Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping

Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out

Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout

I trusted you, would've got my friend
We're stabbed...?


If I had one wish
I wish that you get out of my life
Wish that you were crushed so hard

Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out

Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout

I don't want to ever see you again
I don't want to ever see you again

Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out

Got to find a way outta here
No need to fuck around


9.Dirty Pillow Talk

Slow down
You're gonna hurt yourself, child
Would things shatter like broken glass
Names don't matter, not important
You don't matter to me, so walk away
You're not anybody, anyway

I'm intentionally intoxicated
Pretending nothing is real, infatuated

Hit or miss, hit or miss, hit or miss it.
Get a fix, get a fix, get a fix quick

Slow down
You're gonna hurt yourself, child
Would things shatter like broken glass
Names don't matter, not important
You don't matter to me, so walk away
You're not anybody, anyway

Pull your hair back
Swagger talk
Get what you're asking for
You did this to me
You did this to me
And now you feel afraid, yeah
Now you feel afraid, yeah

Woah

Slow down
You're gonna hurt yourself, child
Would things shatter like broken glass
Names don't matter, not important


10.Webs

On the first day
I hoped that we would see this through
But now you're leaving
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
See you're not listening
I'm clearly just not getting through
So if you're leaving
I won't stand in front of you

Tell me there's something
In this web we weave
Can't you see you know
This chapter's old after all

Would you come back
If I said all of the right things?
Would you come back
If I didn't ever need anything?
Oh baby tell me
Anything I have to do
When you read this
I hope you know these words are meant
For you

Tell me there's something
In this web we weave
Can't you see now I know
You can't be everyone's friend
Ohh no no...
Tell me anything beckon me
And take back what you said
Show these words we give and now I know
You can't be everyone's friend
All the time
Ohh...
Ohh no no...
Ohh no no...

On the first day
I hoped that you would see the truth
But if you're leaving
I won't stand in front of you again
No no no...


11.Walk Of Fame

He bottles up problems
Because nothing's gonna solve them now
Just kill the sound

Then she and all her girlfriends
They go out, dressed in purple satin
Choking back the fashions
Hoping shit will happen

Here right now
Make up your mind,
Stop wasting our
Time will tell. Dare you do I?
Fuck that!!!

First he tells you one thing,
Even when his eyes say
'I'm sorry. I'm slipping once again'
I hate to say I told you
I hate to say I told you anything at all
You never listen anyways

Here right now
Make up your mind,
Stop wasting our
Time will tell. Dare you do I?

You don't know what I am capable of
Keep this knife by my side, until I die
You don't know what I am capable of

This is how Hollywood kills revolutions
And this is where the shit has to stop
Breeding a counter-culture of traitors and whores
Nurturing their greed because our money means more

This city is a disease ,spreading and sucking the life
Out of every pure thing
Cocaine and drinks is how they are raised
And fucking their way to the party from which they came
Just like Mommy and Daddy did.
Aren't they the reason that you're a mistake, kid?

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright on my own
With you on the other side of the world

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
on my own

So I guess that you see
As plain as I can be
The initials 'LA' aren't in my vocabulary


12.Nature Vs. Nurture

And it begins
I toss and turn
But the things could be much worse

Hurry up and wait

Indose by you
I'm a lot of things we said

Whoaaa, whoaaaa, whoaaaaaaaaaaa (2x)
You're gonna miss, gonna miss, gonna miss me someday (2x)

The siren sings
To pull you in
As things are wearing thin

The time it takes
Before you break
Let me introduce myself
My name is fate

Whoaaa, whoaaaawhoaaaaaaaaaaa (2x)
You're gonna miss, gonna miss, gonna miss me someday (2x)
You're gotta take your time with things like these
All that you wanted was someone to ask for apologies
For things that don't exist
They just don't make sense
So much pretense

April 5th
I arise with chapped lips
And the babbling of nonsense over the TV's dull hiss
The events of April 4th align just a little more
Than the infatuated roar of the kids across the street
Though they speak not to me
They go deeper than my worry
With a friend of a friend who at a bar last night told me that
they loved me
It must've been the bacardi that had her hanging off me,
Saying things she didn't mean but why do they stil, haunt me
