The Artist's Game (Random Chorus)

"We overdose on words, instead of the pills we write to avoid
Call me crazy and it's my form of a steroid
Just course it through my veins
All the lies and the names
I get a rush from calling you out with words to shame
You overdose on words, instead of the pills I avoid."

List (Chorus)

Saying all the words my mother wouldn't let me
Because you "want it", you knew you wanted it

Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're neurotic, unrealistic, addicted to perfection
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're psychotic, robotic, what I give you (ya never want it)
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe.


Doing all the things my daddy wouldn't let me
Because you "want it", you know you wanted it

Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're neurotic, unrealistic, addicted to perfection
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're psychotic, robotic, what I give you (ya never want it)
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe.



Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're neurotic, unrealistic, addicted to perfection
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe
Gonna waste a little time giving you the message
You're psychotic, robotic, what I give you (ya never want it)
Let me find the words to make a list about ya babe.

Tongue

Bite your hopes
Let them bleed
They all lay in front of me
Cut off your morals
In spite of your promises
I wasn't surprised they disappeared

You'll regret it later, much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

Catch your breath
Between your teeth
it always stays there, kid
Twist your mind
Until it bends
I wasn't surprised you disappeared

You'll regret it later, much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

The phrases will eventually slip out
You'll regret it (Oh, you'll regret it)
That you were never honest - With yourself
You'll regret it (Oh, you'll regret it)

Later...much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

Bite your tongue.

This One's About You

This one's about you
I bet you knew that
You can hear it in my pulse
Feel it on your skin
As I try to write you out of my own

How you got under
I'll never know
But this one, will let you go

This one's about you
Everyone will know
How you cut me off; broke my heart
They'll feel you on their skin
As I write you out of my veins

How you got in there
I'll never know
How you got me under you
I'd rather let go
This one, That one
You oughtta know

This one, That one
They're all about you
But you never wanna look and learn
So I had to spell it out for you
This ONE is about you

You know who.

How you got under
I'll never know
How you got in there
I'll never know
How you got over me
I'd rather let go
This one, That one
Will let you go

Strings (Tangled)

Sensations shot through out the wind
With your fingers slightest movements
Entranced?
I was, I won't lie
The look was obvious, no alibi

Strum me like those strings
Can't promise I'll snap back as easily
I'd get tangled up in you
If you played me

Alliterations slid off your lips
With the time, in sync with mine
Intoxicated?
I am, I can't deny
My morals are gone, I don't mind

Strum me like those strings
Can't promise I'll snap back as easily
I'd get tangled up in you
If you played me

I know my place
I'm in denial
I haven't felt this way
In a long while
Maybe it's the music
Maybe it's the night
But this all would feel so wrong
If it wasn't right

Strum me like those strings
Can't promise I'll snap back as easily
I'd get tangled up in you
If you played me

ha...

Try Me (Duet)

What if I told you
You were wrong about everything
Would you regret ever knowing me
You didn't know me
If you did, you'd be with me
Everything I am wants you
But there's nothing I can do

Don't try to fix
What we had
Baby, just try me

Try what I want to give you
Try a day in my arms
Try what no-one has ever felt before
Try me...With you.

What if I told you
I was always scared to admit
I don't want to regret ever knowing you
Even though, you don't know me
If you did, I wouldn't be missing you...right now
Everything I am needs you
But there's nothing I can do

Don't try to fix
All my feelings
Don't say "Try Me"

Try what I want to give you
Try a day in my arms
Try what no-one has ever felt before
Try me...With you.

You'll never know
If you hide away
You'll never feel
What was meant to be
You'll never see
That part of me
You'll never see
What I want us to be

If you don't
"Try Me"

Try what I want to give you
Try a day in my arms
Try what no-one has ever felt before
Try me...With you.
Try...me...

Fuck You

Little Girl
You crossed a line
It's a new low
A new trend
For a sight like you
Don't mistake me
I'm not on your level
But let's pretend I was

Eye to eye

I'd steal the love of your life
I'd stab you in the back with a knife
I'd make an example out of you
I'd fuck with everything you thought you knew
And I'd make damn sure
Everyone knew

But it's a good thing, I'm not as low as you

Miss Plastic
You're too fake for words
Trying out my toys
All of my leftover boys
It's a new low
A new trend
Even for you
Don't try to play me
You're not on my level
But let's pretend I'm on yours

Lie to lie

I'd steal the love of your life
I'd stab you in the back with a knife
I'd make an example out of you
I'd fuck with everything you thought you knew
And I'd make damn sure
Everyone knew

But it's a good thing, I'm not as low as you

If I wanted to be like you
I know I could
It's real easy to act like an animal
If I wanted to be like you
I'd just turn into a man-eater
A female cannibal

But I don't, won't, not ever, never
Want to be you

I'd never steal the love of your life
I'd never stab you from behind (I'm too nice)
I can't make an example out of you
But I sure as hell can say "Fuck you"
And I'll make damn sure
The world knows too

Without me (Sing) {Lyrics}

How can you say a word that's not really on your mind
You fake another verse and hope that someone
Gives it meaning
Well, take your time once more into giving nothing again
I bought your words for so long, but you know
You never really sold it, never really sold it

Sing your heart out
Sing a melody
But I can feel it,
You got no feelings
Write your heart out
A pretty melody
But you never care for me
You got no feelings
Not without me.

How can you fake a smile when it hurts your fragile mouth
You sing another song and hope that someone
Feels some meaning
Well, take your time my friend we await your regret (for once)
I bought your words for so long, for so long
But you never really sold it, never really sold it

Sing your heart out
Sing a melody
But I can feel it,
You got no feelings
Write your heart out
A pretty melody
But you never care for me
You got no feelings
Not without me.

I'll lie a lullaby in your ear
Lie after little lie, I hear
--In your voice--
Quivering with your word choice
Not convincing.

Sing your heart out
Sing a melody
But I can feel it,
You got no feelings
Write your heart out
A pretty melody
But you never cared for me
You got no feelings (you never felt a thing!)
You got no feelings...
Without me.
