Say What You Will

i heard about the house you sold
and the kids you had
and the big promotion purchased by your dad
well i haven’t sold my soul
nor do i have a new fam
but i’m happy with the beautiful and fucked-up one i have
i’m putting all my eggs right here
in this last basket
while your fear of commitment keeps you feeling sad
yeah, my bottom line is bad,
but my joy is intact
and even though my bed is cold at least i don’t have to act
say what you will of us
we’ve got our own vocation
we’re doing what we love
and your potential’s wasted
(repeat)
i like to feel a challenge there
maybe competition, too
as long as it inspires me to improve for you
i wish that i had wrote this riff,
but my brother takes the trophy
this is how we’re getting out,
no more insurance for me!
say what you will of us
we’ve got our own vocation
we’re doing what we love
and your potential’s wasted
(repeat)
you know you wouldn’t let me go
if i had asked you nicely
you know you wouldn’t let me go
so i had to lie whitely

Big City

flew down from glasgow for a show
way too kind to pay me, i’d do it for a thrill
drove her around and all she thought was “how dirty...”
nothing like the movies, unless you have the right pills
well...you will.
thought i would be free when i turned 18
big city standing in for some kind of heaven
but it was angel-less
but it was angel-less
thought i would be free to demean myself
big pity that to win you need cash investment
cause it was angel-less
cause it was angel-less
and how do you handle this?
go to where it’s green and breathe until your lungs don’t hurt
hard to tell it’s poison when your feet are inert
i’m over the sound of a dream deferred,
the din of broken hearts when they lose another part to a star
from the start
thought i would be free when i turned 18
big city standing in for some kind of heaven
but it was angel-less
but it was angel-less
thought i would be free to demean myself
big pity that to win you need cash investment
cause it was angel-less
cause it was angel-less
and how do you handle this?
well, you first start over again
i wanna see you smiling
you first start over again
i wanna see you smiling
well, you first start over again
i wanna see you smiling
you first start over again,
yeah!
(chorus)

Rebound Boy
03:50
|
|||
|
you like my fingers, but you won’t take my hand
and you like my tongue, but you won’t hear a word it sung
getting my hopes up again when all that i needed
was a friend to depend on
even without the benefits
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy
like when you wake up not knowing what was real
you need your freedom, but i can’t help but feel
i’m getting my hopes up again when all that i needed
was a friend to depend on
even without the benefits
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy
and i know that i can be annoying
and i’m aware that i can be unfair
trying to be careful what i wish for
‘cause war was waged for helena of troy
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy
i’m just your rebound boy
might as well be with a sex toy

Ghost
03:38
|
|||
|
you turn into a ghost and now i’ve known a succubus
you turn into a ghost and make a fool of both of us
(repeat)
if you could open up do you think it would be the same?
or, misguided by the light, am i the moth and you’re the flame?
how can you blame me for appreciating you?
don’t try to tame me; maybe i can fight back, too?
wouldn’t you?
you turn into a ghost and now i’ve known a succubus
you turn into a ghost and make a fool of both of us
(repeat)
we call it casual, no expectations in a fling
now i try to talk to you, you act like i just bought a ring
these aren’t demands of a wife but of a friend
how fucking hard is it to type some words and then
hit send?
you turn into a ghost and now i’ve known a succubus
you turn into a ghost and make a fool of both of us
(repeat)
disappearing when i needed you the most
when the world fell apart, adrift on the only blue coast
it isn’t just physical; i need to know that someone can feel, that i am real,
i need to know that we can be healed
then you turn into a ghost and now i’ve know a succubus
you turn into a ghost and make a fool of both of us

Toxic Masculinity
06:11
|
|||
|
when i was young i was a fighter, i was the king of the hill
but little by little the bullies got bigger than me and it started to cost me
marked as a target i learned how to shroud my deep doubt
playing the part served me well, but who’s laughing last now?
everything becomes a sad contest
and i’m just as guilty as the rest
i confess: i’ve always done my best
toxic masculinity keeps us brainless mutts
makes a friend an enemy but push won’t come to shove
wonder what the townies back at home would think of getting around?
over and over, complaining became an excuse to stay easily found
now our successes are measured by little blue thumbs
keep life predictable and maybe your sons won’t be dumb
everything becomes a sad contest
i confess: i’ve always done my best
toxic masculinity keeps us brainless mutts
makes a friend an enemy, but push won’t come to shove
tell me what was i waiting for? what was i trying to prove?
why are we stuck with this impotent rage?
toxic masculinity keeps us brainless mutts…
toxic masculinity keeps us brainless mutts
makes a friend an enemy, but push won’t come to shove
