The Enemy
Verse
At night I dream of killer whales, and barely ever get away
They chase me down into the deep blue sea, and I can’t scream
Now all I do is wait
Pre Chorus
Maybe I want them to
Tear at me tear at me
And suddenly its true
they tear at me tear at me
Chorus
Those goddamn eyes, and bloodstained teeth
I’m sick of all the struggle and
I’m sick of all the fighting and
I’m sick of swinging at ghosts and what I’m sick of most
Sick of being my own enemy
Sick of being the enemy
Verse
I tend to dream that murderers, have cornered me in a hotel
They run me out and shoot at me, and I can’t scream
Yes I can use some help.
bridge
Monsters in the dark
black holes in the stars
falling airplanes
and the wolves that lie in wait.

Verse 1
wait, i’m caught up in your riptide
the waves, your dangerous design
I try my best to get away.
But the more I suffer, the more you gain your strength
They say, you’re not supposed to struggle
They say, swim parallel to shore
I’m getting thrown in all directions
and I don’t know if I can fight it anymore
Chorus
Your riptide is taking me down
Your riptide keeps pushing me around
Your riptide is pulling out into the ocean
and I feel like, I feel like I am drowning
There’s no escape, there’s no two ways about it
Caught in your riptide, and you’re pulling me down.
Verse 2
These lines imprinted on my face
are digging themselves deeper every day
and i’m running out of all my options
and I don’t know if I can fight it anymore.
Bridge
And I’m taking on water, and I know that I oughta let you go
Cause like gravity, you take every sinking stone
And I can’t breathe, there are rocks are beneath the whitewash
as I watch, you keep crashing into me.

EVERY MILE
YOU LOOK LIKE SATURDAY NIGHT
YOU’VE BEEN PRACTICING THOSE MOVES
UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS
CAN’T KEEP MY EYES OFF OF YOU
YOU MAKE IT EASY, TO PLAY THE PART OF THE FOOL
YOU MAKE IT EASY, TO BREAK ALL OF MY RULES
AND I’M READY NOW
I WANNA RIDE UP WITH YOU
EVERY MILE
SO YOU GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE PAST
I GOTTA SAY, I’M GLAD IT DIDN’T LAST
YOU WON’T NEED YOUR BULLETS YOUR LIES
YOUR WEAPONS OR MINE
JUMP IN THIS CAR, LETS TAKE IT FOR A RIDE

NEW BLOOD YOU TASTE SO FAMILIAR
EVERY DROP LIKE SUGAR IN THE WATER
I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO TASTE THIS
THE SWEET LOVE AGAIN - BUT THE SCENT OF NEW BLOOD
NEW BLOOD IN HOW LONG WILL YOU TIRE
EVERY BREATH, STIRS FIRE FROM THE COLD
BUT I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO CREATE ANOTHER
HEARTACHE AGAIN. But the scent of NEW BLOOD.
MY OLD TOUCH AND MEMORIES
THAT HANG THERE LIKE SPIDERS
WAITING FOR A FEAST
MY STUBBORN MIND, LIKE ROTTING MEAT
LONG PAST A DATE THAT THE DATE THAT THE BUTCHER CUT IT CLEAN
BUT NEW BLOOD MIGHT PUMP IN ME
IF I REFUSE THESE WOUNDS I HAVE
NEW BLOOD WHAT ARE YOU HIDING
ARE YOU FRIGHTENED OF THE DISEASE YOU MIGHT SHARE
YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN
TO TASTE THIS SWEET LOVE I HAVE
NEW BLOOD

West Side
Verse
Moving up to the west side ,Where I never would go
Moving up to the west side, To find my new home
She can't follow me up here, cause there's no where to hide
From the people like her mother and her father walking outside
Verse
Moving up to the west side , where there's very few like me
Moving up to the west side, cause I can't find cripple creek
She can't follow me up here, cause there's too much snow
It doesn't melt away, like everything else that she knows
Verse
Moving up to the west side, where I can settle my feet
Moving up to the west side, I've never seen so many trees
My sneakers are worn my shirts is torn, so I'm buying fancy shoes
I'll fit right in on the west side, cause I won't be with you
Chorus
Oh how the hell I find myself here
Ya there's peace now up on the west side
And she'll never follow me there
Oh oh now that an idea
Ya there's peace now up on the west side
And she'll never follow me there

SOMEBODY’S GOTTA BURN
IT ISN’T LIKE I DIDN’T SEE, OR BELIEVE ALL THE TELL TALE SIGNS
IT ISN’T ANYTHING MY HEART HASN’T BURIED ALIVE
SHIT IT STINGS AND IT PUNCHES, SPREADS DISEASE LIKE A RUSTY NAIL
AND WHEN YOU’RE DOWN, AND BLEEDING OUT, CAN’T CATCH YOUR BREATH
YOU BETTER STILL INHALE
I MISSED (KISSED) THE SUN, I FLEW MY WINGS A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES
BUT I’M NOT CLOSE TO DONE, I’M GONNA AIM MY WINGS A LITTLE HIGHER
AND IF I CRASH AND BURN, SOMEBODY’S GOTTA BURN
YOU PLAY THE GAME A LITTE WOUNDED, A LITTLE INJURED MOST OF THE TIME
THE BOYS AND GIRLS WHO CAN’T KEEP UP, IT ISN’T FAIR BUT THEY’LL JUST FALL BEHIND
MAYBE I’M NOT MEANT, I’M NOT MEANT FOR THIS GENERATION
SOMEBODY’S GOTTA BURN, IT’S TIME I TAKE A TURN
SOMEBODY’S GOTTA BURN

DAYENU
TAKE A BREATH, DON’T LET IT ALL OUT,
LET THE CLEAN AIR IN, BRING IT ALL DOWN
TAKE A BREATH, LET IT FILL YOUR LUNGS,
LET IT SURROUND YOUR HEART, JUST LET IT COME
GRAB A HOLD, REACH YOUR HANDS OUT,
FEEL YOUR FINGERS STRETCH TAKING OVER
TOUCH MY CHEEK, FEEL MY FACE GROW WARMER,
CAN YOU HEAR MY VOICE, ARE YOU LISTENING
GIRL, FATHER, ENEMY, SISTER, ARE YOU LISTENING
