Seriously

I take myself too seriously
Got me feeling so deliriously
I guess they don't care about the food I eat
I guess there's still ground up underneath my feet
I guess they don't care about the clothes that I wear
I guess that all of this is the result of fear
I gotta take it easy
Or keep waiting for the rest of my life
For the courage to go on and on and on
Into the dark of this night
I gotta take it easy
Or keep waiting for the rest of my life
Is it worth it to go on and on and on
Until I get it right
(Until I get it right)
This is the place where heaven meets earth
This is the place where everything hurts
I get knocked off this pedestal of mine
Just to learn the basics for the umpteenth time
I wonder if they realize that I'm not so tough
Would I be a better person if my brain shut off?

He's A Dog

He's somewhere else tonight
Playing a game that he can win
He only starts
What he can end
And he won't come back until
There's another button he can push
No he won't come back until
My resistance is a bowl of mush
He's a dog
He's howling at the moon tonight
He's a dog
He makes the wrongest things feel right
And I'm more mad at me than I'm ever gonna be with him
But he's a dog
No she didn't love him
It was all in her head
He says all the right things
Just because he can
And he won't come back until
Every single card is in his hands
He'll choose to be a boy because
It's so much harder to be a man

Up Against Myself
03:10

I'd say it's me against the world
It's just I don't understand
How an inanimate object
Could make a mess of my plans
I've always wondered
Could there be another
Maybe eight feet under
All the stress and the weariness
No I'm not cool with this
So this is bliss?
Ignorance
I smile and I wave at the crowd
Like I'm benevolent
And selling it
What they do to me has always been so irrelevant
I know how to behave
And strange—the way
Can't even say your name
I'm a storyteller, tell myself that it was just a phase
For days
Don't worry,
I know that I'm a mess
Bet you didn't think a girl like me
Could rap like this
And it's hard
Hard the way I'm losing faith
And it's cold
Cold the way I hand out blame
She called my bluff
It's not good for my health
I'm up against myself
They brew my tea
As strong as poison these days
Sometimes it's the only thing
That's keeping me awake
But it's not the only poison
That I'm letting in my body
It's not the only label
I won't let them put on me
Beyond me
How this bitterness took root
Decided I'd be different
But I didn't think it through
Didn't notice
That I was looking right at the proof
Every time I checked the mirror
And I said that it was you
I'm through
Don't wanna grow up to be a ghosts
If I stumbled through the wardrobe
Would I find the lamppost?
Or just an empty interior?
The greatest enemy is always so familiar
BRIDGE
I guess I'll be needing a room with a view
I don't want hipster, only Holden approved
Do I need a change of scenery or just a change of heart?
When did my negativity become a work of art?
It's hard, I know, I've said it all before
They say that I'm intelligent but school is just a bore
Do I stay here in the suburbs or try a different scene?
So many years behind a desk but I don't know anything

Couldn't I? (Oh Moses)
04:24
|

We broke our rules
Against the stone
That we carved them into
You kissed my mouth
And we were told
That it wasn't the thing to do
We're falling from high ledges
This cornerstone has its sharp edges
It's the shine on her lips
The sway of her hips
The way you fall in love
The way you say "goodnight"
Oh moses... couldn't I?
Tell me
Which is worse
To love too much or not at all
If it's
Either or
I'll take the love and take the fall
This land comes with a promise
Why wander while we're on it?
BRIDGE
And they can waste their lives
With their hearts as cold as ice
Making sure they don't have any fun
Well they can wait until they're dead
But that's over my head
I wanna live while I'm young

Lock & Key
03:00
|

|
Lived in the dark
The angels taught me how to roar
Got lost inside
A cause worth fighting for
I grew up in the night time
Always on the run
But they never really knew my strength
No they never really knew my strength
Father dear
I will confess my sins
We can talk about
All the wrong I did
I grew up on the dark side
I never saw the light
And I never really knew my strength
No I never really knew my strength
I've got it under lock and key
No they never really knew bout me
Took me in and they raised me right
But they never really knew my strength
Oh
I'm full of possibilities
I prowl beneath the raging seas
Took me in and they raised me right
But they never really knew my strength
Lion heart
Beneath a white sheep skin
I love the hunt
Like I hate my sin
Got lost in the static
Everybody did the same
It was darker when the lights came on
Oh it was darker when the lights came on
BRIDGE
I wanted more
More than a cause
I wanted more
Than a worthy facade
I wanted more
More than a cause
You want more
And they tear you apart
