haha charade

Lately I haven’t noticed when it’s dark out 

We’ve been shrouded by a dark cloud 

And I’m feeling a flood 

Maybe I need to get back to my baby 

I need a hug from my old lady 

Someone to love 

We’ve got the kindling 

But no flint to spark it 

Still held by the guys who 

Crashed the housing market 

We call it how we see it 

We break the circle 

Roses are red and 

Violets are purple 

You can throw obstacles 

Any hurdle we jump over 

Nothing matters to us except each other 

We call it how we see it 

We break the circle 

Roses are red and violets… 

Right now, I feel like it’s do or die 

Now or never, me oh my 

The end of what? 

I know it’s my own fucking problem 

Don’t want you to get involved in 

Unless it’s what you want 

When you were my age 

You had to walk uphill to school both ways 

But now things aren’t at all the same 

They’re bringing guns in and shooting up the place 

We’ve got the kindling 

But no flint to spark it 

Still held by the guys who 

Crashed the housing market 

We call it how we see it 

We break the circle 

Roses are red and 

Violets are purple 

You can throw obstacles 

Any hurdle we jump over 

Nothing matters to us except each other 

We call it how we see it 

We break the circle 

Roses are red and violets…

Hold me to 

All that I do 

Drain it right out 

Drain it right out 

Hold me to 

All that I do 

Drain it right out 

Drain it right out 

Well, fault me for saying what I think but 

Don’t be so menacing at your own fate 

But the more that I try to further ask why 

You just sat their and ate your own cake 

You see me here 

Coming in, coming out 

On time 

But there’s never talk about 

Moving up 

Up, up, up, up and away 

Never to be heard from or seen 

Did I mention heard from again 

Oh yeah, it kills me 

Bewilders me 

You treat us like we’re children 

Let me do myself a favor 

And just get out of this place 

Kills me 

Bewilders me 

You treat us like we’re children 

Let me do myself a favor 

And just get out of this place 

Hold me to 

All that I do 

Drain it right out 

Drain it right out 

Hold me to 

All that I do 

Drain it right out 

Drain it right out 

Well, fault me for saying what I think but 

Don’t be so menacing at your own fate 

But the more that I try to further ask why 

You just sat their and ate your own cake 

You see me here 

Coming in, coming out 

On time 

But there’s never talk about 

Moving up 

Up, up, up, up and away 

Never to be heard from or seen 

Did I mention heard from again 

Oh yeah, it kills me 

Bewilders me 

You treat us like we’re children 

Let me do myself a favor 

And just get out of this place 

Kills me 

Bewilders me 

You treat us like we’re children 

Let me do myself a favor 

And just get out of this place 

Hold me to 

All that I do 

Drain it right out 

Drain it right out

Drain it right out 

Well, fault me for saying what I think but

There's a fork in the road 

And you know that you'll cross it 

Don't know which way to go 

But you you know you ain't lost yet 

Maybe I know how it feels 

No guiding light for progress 

Pushing you towards the groove 

You know the vibe ain't lost yet 

You remember the days 

When the path seemed much clearer 

Reflect on your ways with a fog on the mirror 

Maybe I know how it feels 

No guiding light for progress 

Pushing you towards the groove 

You know the vibe ain't lost yet 

We ain't lost yet 

You're breaking a branch 

For every step that you wander 

But you know 

You can’t turn back any longer 

Maybe I know how it feels 

No guiding light for progress 

Pushing you towards the groove 

You know the vibe ain't lost yet 

We ain't lost yet

I’ve been waiting so damn long 

For you to come along and 

Bring me down 

Should’ve knew it all along 

The way you came upon me 

And tore me down 

And I never said I didn’t miss you 

But damn I hate you 

As you tore me down 

And I never said I didn’t miss you 

But damn I hate you 

As you tore me down 

All that you project upon 

Has all come and gone 

Yet still brings me down 

Play me like you do your pawns 

But you’re no Queen at all, no 

Your time’s run out 

And I never said I didn’t miss you 

But damn I hate you 

As you tore me down 

And I never said I didn’t miss you 

But damn I hate you 

As you tore me down 

Tore me down 

Tore me down

There’s a man in his car next to me 

Getting mad, thinks I cut him off 

On the other side is a girl looking good 

I think I just got lost 

Lookin’ out this window 

At long road ahead I know 

I can live my life slow 

And not let this shit get me low 

But in the case of the girl 

And in the case of the guy 

I can see there are always two sides 

Is this what I deserve? 

I can never decide 

And I can see there are always two sides 

So here I go again 

Oh, so desperately 

While my soul ascends into all I need 

Tell my mom and friends 

That I had to leave 

I’ll be back again when my soul’s empty 

I’ve been caught up in the middle of two sides 

Thought I had it all figured out (Figured out) 

Stories told along the way 

Should I trust them all now 

or do I doubt? (Do I doubt) 

Lookin’ out this window 

I can see my life now unfold 

Would anyone come look for 

me if I don’t come back home? 

So here I go again 

Oh, so desperately 

While my soul ascends into all I need 

Tell my mom and friends 

That I had to leave 

I’ll be back again when my soul’s empty 

So here I go again (oh oh) 

Oh, so desperately 

While my soul ascends into all I need (oh oh) 

Tell my mom and friends (oh oh) 

That I had to leave 

I’ll be back again when my soul’s empty (oh oh) 

Hear me now 

All aloud 

Hear me now 

Or are you all now too proud? 

Hear me now 

All aloud 

Hear me now 

Or are you all now too proud? 

Hear me now 

All aloud 

Hear me now 

Or are you all now too proud? 

Hear me now 

All aloud 

Hear me now 

Or are you all now too proud?

Met me in the hall 

Pins in a doll 

You had put a spell on me 

So out of touch 

As I feel the rush 

Amphetamine energy 

Drank from the vial 

Straight down the aisle 

Cleansed like a remedy 

Could it be you 

Or a reverie? 

People leave and don’t say goodbye 

As long as it ain’t you it’ll be alright 

It’ll be alright 

You don’t find sunshine by throwing shade 

And in the darkness we’ll play our games 

So we keep it fresh with every new day 

Still seeing double, cold blood in our veins 

And your drug is my fave 

Wouldn’t have it any other way 

Inside me I’ve changed 

And that’s the way I’d love to stay 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We don’t have to wake up ‘til noon 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We only play by our own rules 

Only some catch the vibe 

Knew it’d be you, it’ll be alright 

It’ll be alright 

You don’t find sunshine by throwing shade 

And in the darkness we’ll say her name 

So we keep it fresh with every new day 

Still seeing double, cold blood in our veins 

And your drug is my fave 

Wouldn’t have it any other way 

Inside me I’ve changed 

And that’s the way I’d love to stay 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We don’t have to wake up ‘til noon 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We only play by our own rules 

You had put a spell on me 

Maybe it’s a remedy 

Picking up your energy 

Led me to my reverie 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We don’t have to wake up ‘til noon 

So tell me would you want to voodoo 

We only play by our own rules 

You had put a spell on me 

Maybe it’s a remedy 

Picking up your energy 

Led me to my reverie

I watched it as it 

All fell down 

I watched it as it 

Crumbled to the ground 

Don’t let me see that 

Smile on your face 

Blind to what’s all at stake 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

And as the dust sets we all 

We all saw clear 

Should we all go now or just 

Just stay here 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

They try to blind us 

White teeth smile 

Try to divide us 

With their political suicide 

Let me opine on 

This current state 

They seem to be the ones blind 

To what’s all at stake 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore 

Never gonna stop 

Just go 

No fighting anymore

Saw this one girl put a cat 

A cat amongst the pigeons 

Looked her in the eye, dead in the eye 

Right before she lipped him 

It’s a mad house with the money on the line 

Can’t be an “us” if we’re both thinking “I” 

Casa amor, casa amor, casa amor, casa amor 

You’re the reason that I 

Got this heavy grin 

Lookin' at you should be a sin 

And I’m a sinner 

I could never figure out 

If I care too much 

Or just not enough 

Now I know 

You’re the love of my life and I like it 

Treats with the right tricks 

Feel like an upper 90 bike kick 

Kids with the right chick 

Been sayin' this shit from the beginnin' 

How we holdin' back and we can’t stop winnin'? 

Casa amor, casa amor, casa amor, casa amor 

You’re the reason that I 

Got this heavy grin 

Lookin' that good should be a sin 

And I’m a sinner 

I could never figure out 

If I care too much 

Or just not enough 

Now I know

You are the only one who 

Could convince me 

That living forever 

Could be a good thing 

Let's go where palm trees grow 

And the sun's shining 

Happiness is fleeting 

But I can't shake this feeling 

When I'm with you 

Let's run away and find paradise 

Come with me tonight 

Let's run away 

I know a place in between the ocean and the bay 

It's just a plane ride away 

Hop in when you want and we'll go 

Take us to the rock 'n roll show 

And we'll never come back around here 

No, we'll never come back around here 

No, you'll never come back around here 

No, I'll never come back around here 

We've got too many places to go my dear 

Oh my god 

How you look in that red dress 

Is a bomb gone off, an explosion 

And I'm helpless 

You are what I've been looking for 

All along 

We know what we want 

And we both found it 

So we’d better run like Hell 

Let's run away and find paradise 

Come with me tonight 

Let's run away 

I know a place in between the ocean and the bay 

It's just a plane ride away 

Hop in when you want and we'll go 

Take us to the rock 'n roll show 

And we'll never come back around here 

No, we'll never come back around here 

No, we'll never come back around here 

No, you'll never come back around here 

(Never come back) 

No, we'll never come back around here 

(Never come back) 

No, we'll never come back around here 

(Never come back) 

No, we'll never come back around here 

(Never come back) 

No, we'll never come back around here

We're living on the edge a little bit 

Pushing past the guards and the elephant 

Love can be a poison or an antidote 

Depending on your mood and last anecdote 

Quiet quiet quiet 

Now loudly 

Quiet quiet quiet 

Now loudly 

Riot riot riot 

Around me 

Riot riot riot 

Surround me 

Had another story for the collection 

The last thing that we need is more introspection 

We're living in the now for the experience 

Before we're wondering where it all went 

Quiet quiet quiet 

Now loudly 

Quiet quiet quiet 

Now loudly 

Riot riot riot 

Around me 

Riot riot riot 

Surround me 

Quiet quiet quiet 

Now loudly 

Riot 

Bright lights surround me 

Riot riot riot 

Surround me 

Riot 

Bright lights surround me 

Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot 

Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot
