Fuel Me Twice

|
Verse 1:
Is it me or is it
Getting hot and kind of hard to breathe
Last I checked outside it
Seemed a little hazy
Temperature rising causes fires all around
There is literally no escape except for underground
Planes are dropping water overhead to put ‘em out
Is it better if I burn or open wide so I can drown
Chorus 1:
Go on, fool me once, shame on me
Well at least now I can see
All we care about is
Building up this fuel economy
So come on now fuel me twice
Isn’t this convenience nice
Let’s enjoy the ride ‘cause
It ain’t gonna last yeah we’re gonna crash
Watch it
Verse 2:
Soar
The profits outweigh
Prophecies as everything
Around us starts to rise
Inhospitality will soon be
Commonplace as people start to
Struggle to survive against the
Elements it’s rather elementary
Why can’t you see that
Our dependency is causing
Us to fall behind
Might not ever give ourselves
The chance to pick it up now
Chorus 2:
Go on, fool me once, shame on me
Well at least now I can see
All we care about is
Building up this fuel economy
So come on now fuel me twice
Isn’t this convenience nice
Let’s enjoy the ride ‘cause
It ain’t gonna last yeah we’re gonna crash
Watch it
Bridge:
Burn
The sky sure seems beautiful tonight (tonight)
The stars they shine like embers as they
Fall towards the earth once more as they
Did before does that seem right now
I’m not sure that this is still
A metaphor (was it ever)
No no no no no
Chorus 3:
So go on, fool me once, shame on me
Well at least now I can see
All we care about is
Building up this fuel economy
So come on now fuel me twice
Isn’t this convenience nice
Let’s enjoy the ride ‘cause
It ain’t gonna last yeah we’re gonna crash
Watch it collapse

Verse 1:
Round 1 I’m in position
Made my decision to fight no flight

Verse 2:
Round 2 is for the KO
You should’ve taken my advice but you’re okay though right
Well if you say so better prepare more
Won’t be much one touch and you’ll be lying on the floor

You’re never gonna be a winner if you keep on keeping on
With trying to beat me

Stay On Target
03:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
My time my time
My time gets wasted
Check in check back check out
Check it off cheque please will someone make sure
That they will keep checking on me
Cause I know that I’m pretty much incapable
Of putting anything together for the better part of ever
Cause I never never never seem to keep it all coherent
In a way that anybody other than
Myself is capable of understanding
Pause not for effect
Must resurrect my line of thought
A mile a minute isn’t something I can visualize
But if I think about it long enough
I’ll vocalize the vocab I require
To vilify my mind my mind my mind cause it won’t
Pre-Chorus 1:
Stay on target I gotta (Stay on target)
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on stay on target (Stay on target)
Verse 2:
Get back get back
Get back back on track
Back track on my train of thought to figure out
What made it go fly off the rails
I can always hear trains at night
From the window in my bedroom cause it ain’t air tight
Yeah that sounds about right I gotta train my mind to
Stop in time and hold the line so I can
Pre-Chorus 2:
Stay on track I've got to (Stay on track)
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on stay on target (Stay on target)
Chorus 1:
My mind likes to drift
In and out of focus
I can’t concentrate
Yeah I’m sayin' that its hopeless
No telling when I’ll fade
Into that horizon
Don’t ask when I’ll come back
I don’t know if I can
Pre-Chorus 3:
Stay on target I gotta (Stay on target) (Stay on track)
Stay on target I gotta
Stay on track I've got to
Stay on track I've got to
Track this target gotta
Target this track this track is
Way off target but somehow
Still right to the point (Still right to the point)
Chorus 2:
My mind likes to drift
In and out of focus
I can’t concentrate
Yeah I’m sayin' that its hopeless
No telling when I’ll fade
Into that horizon
Don’t ask when I’ll come back
I don’t know if I can

Toxic To Me
04:13
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Highs and lows are part of any part of life
When I’m at my peak I don’t think anything can stop me
Somehow we both reach the top side by side
But when one of us falls we’re both along for the ride
Pre-Chorus 1:
Try to build up a tolerance
Just to make it one more day
Don’t let it get to me or else
We might unravel
Paranoia fuels my mind
Growing as I fade away
I’m going nowhere now but
I don’t want to stay
Chorus 1:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe and keep her close
Verse 2:
Doesn’t matter how much I prepare myself
Every time it reappears it comes as a complete surprise
Never seems to give me any warning signs
Or have I just grown blind because I see them all the time
Pre-Chorus 2:
Try my best to hide my fear
Can’t allow it to show through
If I can make it past this one I swear
It will just get better
Little lies I tell myself
This is just the way I choose
To cope with the situation
I can’t afford to lose
Chorus 2:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe and keep her close
Bridge:
All the symptoms point to excess concentrations
Focusing on all the things that matter least of all
Gotta find a cure for this before I can’t go on
Am I overreacting again
Chorus 1:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe when
Final Chorus:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But how can we save ourselves from disaster
Outro:
We make the perfect team of two
Until it’s down to me versus you
There’s only so much I can do
I guess we’ll fall together
We make the perfect team of two
Until it’s down to me versus you
There’s only so much I can do
I guess we’ll fall together now
Toxic to me

Vice In My Head
04:45
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
He put his heads in his hands as he slumped to the floor
And he cast his ambitions aside
Though they weren’t very great to begin with before
He at least thought he’d make it outside
Pre-Chorus 1:
The fear of the unknown had begun to take a toll
That he could never hope to pay in full
And so he sat alone in the safety of his home
And lamented to himself
Chorus 1:
Feels like I got my head in a vice and a vice in my head
And a mind that’s been falling apart
And the voice that’s inside keeps on asking me why
I don’t take its advice to heart
Verse 2:
She hid herself from the light didn’t even try to fight
To get up to get out the door
The thought of what lie behind had slowly withered her mind
To a point she that could not endure
Pre-Chorus 2:
The possibility of what may come to be
Should she ever leave her sanctuary’s walls
And so she sat alone in the safety of her home
And lamented to herself
Chorus 2:
Feels like I got my head in a vice and a vice in my head
And a mind that’s been falling apart
And the voice that’s inside keeps on asking me why
I don’t take its advice to heart
Yeah ba badada badadadadada
Should I take it to heart
Yeah ba badada badadadadada
Should I take it to heart
Chorus 3:
Feels like I got my head in a vice and a vice in my head
And a mind that’s been falling apart
The voice is louder each day and it won’t go away
Should I take its advice to heart
Chorus 4:
I got my head in a vice and a vice in my head
And a mind that’s been falling apart
I’m gonna keep it at bay and I’ll fight one more day
I won’t take it’s advice to my heart
Not gonna take it to my heart
Badada badadadadada
Not to my heart not gonna take it to my heart
Badada badadadadada
Not to my heart

Depth Perception
03:54
|

|
Verse 1:
Never the time or the place for this
Try to speak my mind thoughts are all amiss
Can’t get it out so I reminisce
On all of our good times
Wanna shout it out but my mouth stays shut
Try to open up but no matter what
Can’t shake the feeling inside my gut
That’s holding me back
Pre-Chorus 1:
Slow it down
And give me time
Let me find the words
To tell you that I
Chorus 1:
I know I know that I don’t
Show it on the surface
But down below I swear there’s
Something shining brightly woah
It’s hiding deep but if you
Alter your perception
My true emotions for you
Will see the light
Verse 2:
Tip of my tongue, but I can’t admit
Strugglin’ to say it but I always quit
Convince myself I can handle it
But then everything falls apart
I loose my cool then I lose myself
I can barely breathe but you still can’t tell
So close to heaven but still in hell
You’re out of my reach
Pre-Chorus 2:
Slow it down
And give me time
Let me find the words
To tell you that I
Chorus 2:
I know I know that I don’t
Show it on the surface
But down below I swear there’s
Something shining brightly woah
It’s hiding deep but if you
Alter your perception
My true emotions for you
Will see the light
Chorus 3:
Woah I know I know that I don’t
Show it on the surface
But down below I swear there’s
Something shining brightly woah
It’s hiding deep but if you
Alter your perception
My true emotions for you
Will see the light

Filters
03:31
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Constantly exposed to life through a lens that
I’ve carefully tailored to filter what I see as noise
Highlight humour and downplay the downsides and
Bad news until I feel satisfied with my life
Chorus 1:
I could spend days alone but never feel the isolation (Isolation)
I’m introverted but I know this isn’t natural
I’m on the outside looking into everyone around me (All around me)
It’s like I’m there except I’ve filtered myself out
Verse 2:
Can’t disconnect or I might not recover from
Seconds of not knowing what happens next
Keep entertaining me so I don’t have to
Remember the stresses that plague me in my second life
Chorus 2:
I could spend days alone but never feel the isolation (Isolation)
I’m introverted but I know this isn’t natural
I’m on the outside looking into everyone around me (All around me)
It’s like I’m there except I’ve filtered myself out
Chorus 3:
I could spend days alone but never feel the isolation (Isolation)
I’m introverted but I know this isn’t natural
I’m on the outside looking into everyone around me (All around me)
It’s like I’m there except I’ve filtered myself out
Final Chorus:
I could spend days alone
I could spend days alone all by myself
I could spend days alone
I could spend days alone all by myself
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
I'm isolated but I'm never truly gone

Fully Throttled
03:14
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’m confined I’m a prisoner inside
Of my own damn mind
I’m stuck inside a situation I can’t rectify
Say this in a way you want to hear
Make it sound like I’m sincere
Put it out there feed the masses
Publish it and let it go then watch it disappear
Chorus 1:
Pump it out so fast cause if I
Don’t there’s no way I can last
In both ears then out of memory
Come on face it you alway’s gotta give em more and
I am fully throttled by this
High speed music industry
What a bitter irony yeah
I can’t keep up no matter what I’m always left behind
Verse 2:
Literal seconds of attention span have killed my drive
Why do I even try
What’s the point in finishing ‘cause everybody’s just gonna
Skip this unless we’re live
More tools than ever to
Skyrocket you straight to obscurity
How can we possibly sustain
We want it yesterday so why is it not here right now go
Chorus 1:
Pump it out so fast cause if I
Don’t there’s no way I can last
In both ears then out of memory
Come on face it you alway’s gotta give em more and
I am fully throttled by this
High speed music industry
What a bitter irony yeah
I can’t keep up no matter what I’m always left behind
Finale:
(Push it push it push it) They say they want more
(Sell it sell it sell it) They won’t pay for
(Push it push it push it) Another encore
(Sell it sell it sell it) It’s time to start this
(Push it push it push it) (War) They say they want more
(Sell it sell it sell it) (War) They won’t pay for
(Push it push it push it) (War) Another encore

Tired and Tested
04:06

|
Verse 1:
Testing one two three
Am I coming through this frequency
‘Cause you haven’t given any
Indication otherwise
I’ve said much too much
Trying to connect you’re out of touch with
All that I’m doing to make you proud
Chorus 1:
So tired of being tested
I’ve been bested trying to be
The best that I can be
But somehow that's still
Not good enough for you
You can always see right through and
Stay disappointed no matter what I do
Verse 2:
Testing four five six
Don’t think I can carry on like this
And I wonder what’s the point of reaching
Out to you
When you still refuse
To acknowledge any path I choose to
Show you that I can be what you want
Chorus 2:
So tired of being tested
I’ve been bested trying to be
The best that I can be
But somehow that's still
Not good enough for you
You can always see right through and
Stay disappointed no matter what I do
Chorus 3:
So tired of being tested
I’ve been bested trying to be
The best that I can be
But somehow that's still
Not good enough for you
You can always see right through and
Stay disappointed no matter what
Final Chorus:
So why am I here
Trapped in this cycle fearing
I will let you down at every turn
I gotta ask myself now
Why is it I still care
It’s not like you’re even there
You’re just a specter go on and disappear

Mr. Dark & Brooding
03:14
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
You've been hurt before
Left in pieces on the floor
I get you I really do, trust me
Ostracized criticized
Always taken down a size
It justifies why you're so goddamn mean
Pre-Chorus 1:
You've cast yourself as the hero
You think you're quite the complex man
Anybody listened to your story
You're sure they'd understand
Chorus 1:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I'm sure you could explain it all away
But I don't care if you’re always picked last
I don't care about your tragic past
If you're gonna' be an ass to me
I'm out
Verse 2:
Oh I know
You've said it five times in a row
I need to treat you with some compassion
You're daddy doesn't get you
You're girlfriend went and left you
How dare I call you out on your actions
Pre-Chorus 2:
Can't you see the irony
In the way that you're treating me
Of course not because
You can do no wrong
You've cast yourself as the hero
You’ve developed quite the complex man
If I cared enough to learn your story
You're sure I'd understand but
Chorus 2:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I'm sure you could explain it all away
But I don't care if your ego got kicked
I don't care if you need your wounds licked
If you're gonna' be a dick to me
I'm out
Bridge:
I'm sure you'll find a place for me
In your tragic backstory
I abandoned you I left you on your own
So if others choose my way
And you decide to make them pay
Well obviously I'm the one at fault
Chorus 3:
This ain't no movie
Mr. Dark and Brooding
No I don't have to stay
The way you've been behaving
Condescending always shaming
So quick to place the blame and
Yes I think I can explain it
Don’t need more time to contemplate it
You’re ugly on the inside and you’re
Never gonna' change it so
I'm out

Intro Chorus:
Hey you’re coming on a little fast for my liking
Hey we’ve both made some mistakes
Hey I know you like me and I kind of like you back but
Hey can we just pump the brakes
Verse 1:
Saying “Marry me” might not have been the greatest pickup line
But it seemed to work great at the time
Saying “I do” afterwards was awkward and embarrassing
But then again so was I
Pre-Chorus 1:
Matches made in heaven
Burn brighter than the rest
Why not add some gasoline
And put this to the test
Chorus 1:
Hey you’re coming on a little fast for my liking
Hey we’ve both made some mistakes
Hey I know you like me and I kind of like you back but
Hey can we just pump the brakes
Verse 2:
Finding us a condo two weeks after we went on our first date
Might have been a little overboard
Signing my name on the lease and paying for the first year up front
Might have been more than I could afford
Pre-Chorus 2:
This fireball is spiralling
It’s gonna crash and burn
I really wish I’d thought this through
I guess I’ll live and learn
Chorus 2:
Hey you’re coming on a little fast for my liking
Hey we’ve both made some mistakes
Hey I know you like me and I kind of like you back but
Hey can we just pump the brakes
Verse 3:
I think that it’s time we bought ourselves minivan
And settled down inside the suburbs
Do you think that we’ll need heated seats?
A minivan?
No no I’m out!
Your loss!
Chorus 3:
Hey you’re coming on a little fast for my liking
Hey we’ve both made some mistakes
Hey I know you like me and I kind of like you back but
Hey can we just pump the
Final Chorus:

Turn Left Here

Verse 1:
What is it exactly that you were
Expecting to hear me say
I’m still over achieving checking my facts
I didn’t get that hit yet but that’s ok
Because I still got bad jokes
And an occasional message to convey
And I still like to switch it up time to time
Because finding something new always brightens my day
It can’t all be ska-punk 24/7/52/365 (hut hut)
50/50 best 2 out of 3 is still
Good to keep me rockin’ out to these vibes
Chorus 1:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Verse 2:
Now I won’t go slow easily
So pick it up, come on let’s roll
Accelerate me to the limit
Then put me on cruise control
Now turn left turn right turn here
Tturn round lay it down for me out on the floor
Then put it back on me and get ready
Don’t stop di-did I stutter just shout for more
You’re heating up speeding up oh so fast
So keep stoking that friendly fire
But don’t you make me out to be the villain
When I say you gotta take it hi-hi-higher
Chorus 2:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Verse 3:
Tan caliente ahora
La leche fue una mala elección
I’m not quite sure what that meant
So I think it’s time we cooled it down, but we ain’t done
Until our day dreams cover the nightmares
And wake us up before we go
Go ahead and swallow the pill
Even if it’s red green blue or some tight snares
Who cares keep calm
Carry on and follow the drums
Chorus 3:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
Chorus 4:
So put the pedal to the metal let the melody drive me home
It doesn’t have to be puns and games
But a play on words will always make me wanna
Play it again back it up put it on repeat yeah hah
Reverse to the verse let me ride on down the street
