O no, here we go again Throw away the grudge and pretend that we are friends Light up a fire in the sky Cause when the lightning finally strikes a passion will ignite I can't sleep, out of the deep you sprung And then you cut out my tongue, and to think you were the one Who saved me Well, what a load of shit that I was given again CHORUS: And I've heard the things you say about me It seems like you've got the story a little blurry What a surprise You were the apple of my eye Hello, it's been quite a while Since I've ever seen that smile, but what's beyond this child's A dark soul, you lure them to your cage And then show them all your rage, you thrive on the waves Of sorrow, if we're angry or just sad Depressed, insane, or mad, it may seem really bad But tomorrow we'll be over it I said we'll be over it again CHORUS: And I've heard the things you say about me It seems like you've got the story a little blurry What a surprise You were the one that made me cry Hey lover from another, do you mind If I'm your significant other for a night? That was easy, she didn't even put up a fight What's the password to her kind? It's probably "password" CHORUS: And I've heard the things you say about me It seems like you've got the story a little blurry What a surprise And I've heard the things you say about me It seems like you've got the story a little blurry What a surprise You were the apple of my eye You were the apple of my eye

Shortcuts 04:30
The age of the nihilist Nobody's buying this Go be a scientist And prove what you can Construct a theory Even if it makes you weary Of these dark thoughts, eerie About the purpose of man I've been searching for the shortcuts But falling behind My findings left me with Nothing but a crooked mind CHORUS: Life's a bitter sequence if you purse your lips and squint "Existence is futile!" You think our life's a glint? There's no meaning with no form of deep infatuation Comfort rises, art declines when you've no education You could find a distraction A place in a faction To take up a fraction Of the time that you've got here But a nihilist mutiny Will end all this scrutiny You might as well shoot me If the search is not near I've been searching for the shortcuts But falling behind My findings left me with Nothing but a crooked mind CHORUS CHORUS

There's a hole in the pocket of my durable coat And everything is tumbling out and onto the road These things I've kept for far too long Are smashed to pieces, gone, gone, gone O, leave a path Of broken glass CHORUS: Don't cut your feet On shards you leave behind That piece of glass Still haunts your past But it's in a different time The latches on my suitcase will remain unclicked To empty out the contents for some new baggage I'll take my time, I'll let it go I'll stand in line for some new psycho O, leave a path Of broken glass CHORUS O, leave a path Of broken glass O, leave a path Of broken glass CHORUS

Stranger in the street Where past and passion meet Because the moment might be hard to believe Not too hard to conceive Makes it so hard to breathe Throat closing, no vitality Calling my name From out of the grave You buried yourself in CHORUS: This is a different age You're on a different page Your presence seems so strange This is a different age New songs and different ways That's why I let you walk away Stranger in the street O, such a mystery No recognition, how'd this come to be? Speaking just one way The return is delayed You lose your friends if you don't play the game Calling my name From out of the grave You buried yourself in CHORUS Walk away Walk away Walk away 4x CHORUS
