Met a tall tall man with a master plan
Took a bit of time but now he’s got a line
K’s his inside man, start to work the plan
He took his time casing out the joint
Finding out the dirt on the ladies and the boys
His new marks to cross
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
Now as time moves on K is getting stronger
In a few months time he’s gonna blow their minds
With the tall tall man he’s gonna rule the land
They’ll fall in love with every word
He coos and says even if it’s all absurd
He’s got em now
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
Now’s the perfect time to show em all his hand
Got his sites in line shoots em one at a time
With the tall tall man reveal the master plan
Trained from the start not to leave their mark
Now the game is done they’ve won time to move on
To new marks to cross
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation
Make no mistake, oh oh oh
It’s a hostage situation

End of a Gun
04:12

Where are you where are you gunning to
What are you what are you running from
Do you know of a place where we can hide from
The broken broken place you called home
Do you know how far we gotta go
Gotta go
No matter
How far you get
You can never get away from it
It lives inside you
A devil’s see grows each time you bleed
The dark that eats you whole
No matter no matter where you go
The face in the mirror is yours
The demon demon always knows
Always knows
He always, always comes to feed on you
When you are low
How far do we gotta go, gotta go
No matter
How far you get
You can never get away from it
It lives inside you
A devil’s see grows each time you bleed
The dark that eats you whole
Making you making you lose your mind
Cause he lives lives in you
He breathes breathes each time
You do you do
He can see, see through your eyes
He knows, knows what’s inside
Your mind
Before you do
No matter
How far you get
You can never get away from it
It lives inside you
A devil’s see grows each time you bleed
The dark that eats you whole
Oh you can run run run run
From yourself self self self
It only leads to the end end end end end end end
Oh you can run run run run
From yourself self self self
It only leads to the end end end end of a gun
No matter
How far you get
You can never get away from it
It lives inside you
A devil’s see grows each time you bleed
The dark that eats you whole
The dark that eats you whole (run run run run)
The dark that eats you whole (self self self self)
The dark that eats you whole (gun gun gun gun)

Leaving or Staying

STAYING OR LEAVING
He moves in and out of
My picture frames like water
In and out of a broken glass
The things he says just makes it
Harder and harder
To forget all the bad
All the bad
Time to cut my eyes away
Let the lies lie where they lay
Lay ay ay ay ay
Your smile is always the same
Never could tell when you were leaving
Or stay ay ay ay aying
A broken heart works harder
Dreams even harder
Thought the dream is slipping past
Some things are meant to wither
Into a winter
Dissipating into ash
With all the bad
Time to cut my eyes away
Let the lies lie where they lay
Oh oh Lay ay ay ay ay
Your smile is always the same
Never could tell when you were leaving
Or stay ay ay ay aying
I’m begging you to stay
You’re driving me away
I’m asking for one more day
Cause I need you to hear what I gotta say
Oh wait, oh wait
I guess it’s time for me to
I guess it’s time for me to
Time to cut my eyes away
Let the lies lie where they lay
Oh oh Lay ay ay ay ay
Your smile is always the same
Never could tell when you were leaving
Or stay ay ay ay aying
Was it worth it worth it no no
No no no no no oh oh oh
Now it’s too late too late
No no no no no oh oh oh

Go On
03:52
|
|||
Go on and fall off the face of the earth
Because you’ve forgotten what we’re worth
You go on your travels changing a little day after day
Coming to visit not to stay
Why don’t you go on and fall off
Go on and just go, go away
I’ve learned not to miss you
Living alone most of our days
Most of my memories are of our boy, girls and me
Our girls on stage so pretty
I wish you could see
Our boy hit a double and drove in the winning run
He asked where Daddy was
Where has he gone
So why don’t you go on and fall off
Go on and just go, go away
I’ve learned not to miss you
Living alone most of our days
(musical break)
So why don’t you go on and fall off
Go on and just go, go away
I’ve learned not to miss you
Living alone most of our days
My feelings for you are all but gone
But when I see you they come back strong
The lights in the house are always on
But they barely lead you home
So why don’t you go on and fall off
Go on and just go, go away
We’ve learned not to miss you
Living alone most of our days
We’ve learned not to miss you
Living alone most of our days
We’ve fought long hard
Talkins’ not enough
So just fall off

Supernova
04:55
|

You can close your eyes now
And goto sleep, don’t worry
You won’t miss a thing now
Don’t you know, you’re the star of the show
When the walls are closing in
And you feel like you’re losing your mind
You gotta remind yourself
You are a supernova
Ready to blow up and show the world
A blinding light from inside ya’
You are the sun and everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
When the tears begin to fall and they won’t dry at all
No matter what you do or who you call
Loose your wings so you can fly past it all
Into the sky
When the walls are closing in
And you feel like you’re losing your mind
You gotta remind yourself
You are a supernova
Ready to blow up and show the world
A blinding light from inside ya’
You are the sun and everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Open up and let it soar
Cause you’re something bigger
Something more
Something more
Something more
You are a supernova
Ready to blow up and show the world
A blinding light from inside ya’
You are the sun and everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you
Everything revolves around you

Between You and I
06:25
|
|||
I left that day with my kids and God by my side
Didn’t know where we’d be sleeping that night
Had no choice and somehow I didn’t know
But something in my heart said I had to go
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time
Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine
I think it’s best if one of us should go
Because you and I are both old enough to know
No matter how hard we tried
The bitter cycle begins again, begins again
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
Now five years have passed and the kids
Are all now in school
Work a steady job just enough to make due
To pay the rent and make do on the rest
We may not be rich but I’m doing my best
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time
Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine
I think it’s best if one of us should go
Because you and I are both old enough to know
No matter how hard we tried
The bitter cycle begins again, begins again
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
No matter how much I cried, and fuss and fight
To bind the hurt that I hide inside
The half-truths and lies
And me waiting all night
Waiting all night I just can’t live by
I’ve taken up too much of our sweet time
Trying to make us work but we’re not doing fine
I think it’s best if one of us should go
Because you and I are both old enough to know
No matter how hard we tried
The bitter cycle begins again, begins again
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
Ooohhhh ooohhhh oooohhhhhh

Poison
04:26
|

Who would have thought that I would want to walk back into the fires with you
Who would have known that I would want to drown myself in the water that’s you
I wonder
Do you want me forever
Or is it til’ you find something better
The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news
Cause when it comes to you
You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through
Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time
Will I have your heart before it’s over
La da di da aah aay yay
Who would have thought that I would want to taste the poison that you brew
How was I to know I would take you back when it’s clear that we are through
Do you want me forever
Or is it til’ you find something better
The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news
Cause when it comes to you
You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through
Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time
Will I have your heart before it’s over
I I I wanted you forever
But you only wanted
Me until you
Found
Something better
Something better
The sky is darkening and the weather’s changing bringing me no good news
Cause when it comes to you
You’ll sway with me back and forth until you’re through
Promises of we’ll make it make it last this time
Will I have your heart before it’s over
Who would have thought that I would want to walk back into the fires with you
Who would have known that I would want to drown myself in the water that’s you

You Lied
02:52
|

You said I was the only one
Ever in your life
You said you were down for the ride
Until the til’ the end of the line
But then you turned and just walked away
Changed your mind with nothing left to say
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You said I was the only one
You would never turn away from
You said I was the only one
Who could keep you from coming undone
But then you turned and just walked away
Changed your mind with nothing left to say
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
Who says that a temporary lover can’t
Cause you pain, oh oh
Who says that a part-time lover can’t
Cause you to go insane, yeah yeah
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried
You lied, you lied
Turned away as I cried

We kill ourselves working day to day
On the job that don’t pay enough to say
Man I feel my worth I made it to the top
I can see their pockets are filling out
But for me my pockets are thinning out
I think it’s time to tear the system down down down
We ply ourselves with pain relievers
To make our minds its own deceivers
Can you imagine how I felt when my world ended but the rest of the world didn’t care enough to stop
I can see their pockets are filling out
But for me my pockets are thinning out
I think it’s time to tear the system down down down
When the world begins to take a little
And you think oh it’s only a little
I can handle it I’ve got more
Then one morning you wake to find
You have nothing left to give
Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor
So when it’s all gone
How you’ gonna find more
Find a way to get it back
Get it back, get it back
(D. Rob)
I just wanna fly away
high away somewhere I can hide away
running from the problems in my life tryna find a way
boss in my own right
star in my own light
seen on the scene but when I see him then its on site
falling from the highest height terminal velocity
born as a peasant breaking rules of aristocracy
runaway freight train ain't nobody stopping me
from tearing down the system till it ain't no more monopoly
When the world begins to take a little
And you think oh it’s only a little
I can handle it I’ve got more
Then one morning you wake to find
You have nothing left to give
Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor
So when it’s all gone
How you’ gonna find more
Find a way to get it back
Get it back, get it back
Feel my hunger pains it’s everyday
Push my anger turning it to rage
Push my mind to break
Can you make it stop
I can see their pockets are filling out
But for me my pockets are thinning out
I think it’s time to tear the system down down down
We ply ourselves with pain relievers
To make our minds its own deceivers
When the world begins to take a little
And you think oh it’s only a little
I can handle it I’ve got more
Then one morning you wake to find
You have nothing left to give
Nothing to even fill the shoes on the floor
So when it’s all gone
How you’ gonna find more
Find a way to get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it back

Have it All
04:08

I am so sick and tired of you twisting all of my words
So they can fit on the curve of your tongue when you think you deserve
All of the things that’s just for you
Just for you
When I am the one fighting for more than me
and you ooohhhh
If this is how you justify it
Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh)
Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh)
You can have everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
I’m leaving you everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
You can have it all
My mission was to work united, between you and I
But there’s more fighting than love
You battle with your words like smoking bullets blowing from your gun
All of the things I did for you, now it’s no use
I can’t even see your reasoning
I’m so confused ooooh oooh ooooh
If this is how you justify it
Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh)
Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh)
You can have everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
I’m leaving you everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
You can have it all
Have it all
You can have it all have it all
You can have it all, have it all, have it all
Have it all, have it all, have it all, have it all
If this is how you justify it
Denying the truth behind this (oh oh oh)
Then what’s the sense in me trying to ride this out with you (oh oh oh)
You can have everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
I’m leaving you everything you wanted
But me, but me, but me
You can have it all
You can have it all
You can have it all

Hold On

Ooooh hooo
Ooooh hooo
We fought so hard, we fought so long
Now nothing’s here, it’s all gone
We worked so hard at the start
Now you’re working so hard to tear us apart
Move on, now don’t you try and hold on
Why can’t you just move along
So long
I took a walk in the woods today
I bowed my head to God and prayed
To give me strength to carry on
To bring us together make us strong
But you said
Move on, now don’t you try and hold on
Why can’t you just move along
So long
Ooooh hooo
Ooooh hooo
Like falling into the stars
Like falling in love, not apart
It was you, me, us
Under one roof is all I want
Where I lay my head
My whole heart
But you said move on
Told me so long
You said move on
Told me so long
Move on, now don’t you try and hold on
Why can’t you just move along
So long
Why can’t you just move along
Move on, so long
Move along, so long
