Electron
Annihilate me, intimidate me
I know you hate me, so obliterate me
‘Cause baby I’m all charged up
And if we ever have a run-in
It’s gonna be explosive
You won’t even see it comin’
Chorus:
You keep spinnin’ me ‘round ‘round ‘round in circles
But I can stop you short on your path
When you’re down I’ll be up
When you’re up I’ll be down
You don’t have to do all the math
To see that I am your equal,
Your prologue and your sequel
The big bang and the boom
Your savior and your doom
Your mirror reflection, your opposite direction
You’re night and I’m day
And you’re getting in my way
Verse 2:
In a flash, I’m gonna smash
You and I into one so let’s get it done
Oh baby I’m all charged up
And it’s gettin’ kinda hectic
Can’t you feel the attraction
We are so electric
(We are so electric!)
Groovy Breakdown Section!!
Chorus:
You keep spinnin’ me ‘round ‘round ‘round in circles
But I can stop you short on your path
When you’re down I’ll be up
When you’re up I’ll be down
You don’t have to do all the math
To see that I am your equal,
Your prologue and your sequel
The big bang and the boom
Your savior and your doom
Your mirror reflection, your opposite direction
You’re night and I’m day
And you’re getting in my way
2 Car Garage
The house I grew up in had a two car garage
Though sometimes we only owned one
In a town with money and boredom in abundance
A joke of a city nearby for some fun
It was there I was force fed the ideal perfect life
Go to college , get a job, buy a house, be a wife
It was there I digested the american dream
But the sugar high ended and I wanted to scream
I choked when I tasted what I thought was perfection
The dish I was making was a vile confection
All the money in the world does not make a happy girl
The biggest house and fastest car will not repair who we are
No matter how many papers you got you want more
More money
More fame
More chips in the game
You're a whore
All the money in the world does not make a happy girl
The biggest house and fastest car will not repair who we are
No matter how many papers you got you want more
Accelerate
Didn't think it could be so right
Didn't think i'd be able
Didn't think i'd ever wake up
Didn't think i'd ever be capable
Of holding someone so tight
A passion emerges from the rough
I kept thinking I fell too fast
But maybe I didn't fall fast enough
Didn't ever feel like this before
Didn't know i'd been so blinded
Didn't know my hope was lost
Didn't know that I would find it
In you holding you tight
A passion emerges from the rough
I kept thinking I fell too fast
But maybe I didn't fall fast enough
Buried for years beneath empty compliments
Many had pronounced me dead
Chained and shackled to obligation
Complacency distorting my head
Didn't see you for who you were
Didn't see past distractions
Didn't heed others advice
Didn't heed others reactions
In you holding you tight
A passion emerges from the rough
I kept thinking I fell too fast
But maybe I didn't fall fast enough
Permission Slip
You call me from the kitchen and you seem to have a mission
There's a girl that you're wishing
That you'll soon be kissing
I find it kind of odd but I smile as I listen
Because the funny thing to me is that you're asking my permission
I think it's cute
I think it's fine
As long as you don't kiss her when you're on my time
Do what you want I don't really care
It isn't like you were ever really there
I think she's great, I think she's hot
I hope you like her too because she's all you got
Do what you want I don't really care
It isn't like you were every really there for me
I'd sure like to say we'll remain the best of friends
Cause you know and I know that's how the story ends
As I look in your brown eyes I can't but to smirk
Because you think you're acting nice, but you're really just a jerk
I think it's cute
I think it's fine
As long as you don't kiss her when you're on my time
Do what you want I don't really care
It isn't like you were ever really there
I think she's great
I think she's hot
I hope you like her too because she's all you got
Do what you want I don't really care
It isn't like you were every really there
Silly boy
I was done with you
long ago but you think
that my world revolves around you
Fall Asleep
sleep is like time travel
it makes tomorrow today
but I'm stuck in the past
the night languishes away
I’ll think of my mistakes
And then think of you
Not quite a step forwards
but what can I do
because
Chorus:
if I fall asleep, I'll have to wake up
and it gets harder every time
so I'll just lie awake alone here in the dark
poisoned thoughts of mine
what am I doing?
is this answer right?
should I throw my hands up in the air
and call it a life?
The clock is chiming
My hour of disparity
How dare I dream happily
When there’s no chance of verity
if I fall asleep, I'll have to wake up
and it gets harder every time
so I'll just lie awake alone here in the dark
poisoned thoughts of mine
the darkness envelops me
the silence resounding
I can’t escape the melody
Of my frightened heart pounding
if I fall asleep, I'll have to wake up
and it gets harder every time
so I'll just lie awake alone here in the dark
poisoned thoughts of mine
Resolutions
New Year, old day, same speech, new way
Same job, same life, same pain, new knife
Gotta find a new way to breathe
Or else another one will up and leave
(or pull out those tricks in his sleeve)
A strange animal you are, but I get in your car
You got the foot on the brake, how much more will I take?
This year I won't sell out my soul
Because I already broke the mold
(uniqueness is a flaw, we're told)
Try to find a new object of lust
And a new friend to mistrust
(I'll watch my resolutions cover in dust)
New Year, old day, same speech, new way
Same job, same life, same pain, new knife
New Year, still stuck, at a standstill, outta luck
Same flaws, same mistakes, same ideas, new takes
[bridge]
now I've drawn a clear dividing line
my heart I will not undermine
it was time to let go
but I held on
I heard the echo
of the times gone
behind me there is black
there's no looking back
so much room to grow
jump in, here I go, oh yeah
New Year, old day, same speech, new way
Same job, same life, same pain, new knife
New Year, old day, same speech, new way
Same job, same life, I'll take the pain, hand me my knife
