Let me show you around town, to someplace you don't know about
We'll go to a show and see the actors fool around
And the busker playing by the streets
Don't you worry though, he's not a freak
It's okay to be cruel
Shed the smile off your face, let the tears come down
Hours can go by without hearing a sound
Finale's up now, it's time to go home
The only place where you know you're on your own
It's okay to be cruel
We'll find a way out of here
Even when the direction isn't so clear
Your life is a roller coaster, going up and down
Can't wait for your feet to touch the ground
Emotions so mixed you screamed at me
I guess I'll just file this under Sad/Happy
I won't be another fool
Cause it's not okay to be cruel
I won't be another tool
I won't be another tool

Take me for a ride
Don't go and hide inside yourself
Don't hide inside yourself
Cause we all love you
Miss Miz
I'm in someone else's slideshow
It's something that we don't need to know
Something that we don't need to know
You don't need to hear me
Miss Miz
Talking to myself is what I need best
I can't fix me yet
I've been invisible to your eyes
Don't worry that's no surprise
That's no surprise
If you burn the bridges you cross
You may get lost
You may get lost
Just know that I miss you
Miss Miz
I know you don't love me
Miss Miz
Just know that I'm here
Miss Miz

I think he wants to leave you know
Cause he can't stop, he can't stop the show
Cause he does what he can, and he thinks he's the man
But he wants to
Leave
Be free
And see
Tries to know who's tough
But really he's too small to call his bluff
So he sits and he cries, and he tells himself lies
He wants to
Leave
Be free
And see
Some girls know what's up
But really, who's to judge
Who's to judge, when no one is asking enough
He wants to
Leave
Be free
And see
Feels his mouth is full of sand
People tell him who's to be damned
Who's been sinned for his whole life
Stands there not knowing much
Says that love shouldn't be a crutch
Love is there to hold, love is there to care
Yet he wants to
Leave
Be free
And see
He says that love doesn't exist
I'm gonna jump from the Washington Bridge
Gonna see if I can do it
Gonna see if no one loses it
But don't
Leave
Please see
That we need you

The People's Victim

Trying to play a perfect style, something you just can't match
Repeat to yourself you'll get the role and people will attract
Gotta strategize
Cause the people don't realize
Just do your worst and I'll do the rest
The People's Victim is the test
Tell me of a damn tragedy,and I'll believe in you
Please be true to me and I'll be truer to you
But don't overreact
Or your story's full of crap
And you won't know who and what you are
Just do your worst and I'll do the rest
The People's Victim is the test
Need to take caution now, and stabilize the place
No one has your back now, so defend your own space
Cause we know who you are
And you took it way too far
Just do your worst and I'll do the rest
The People's Victim is the test
Just do your worst and I'll do the rest
The People's Victim is the test
Just do your worst and I'll do the rest
The People's Victim is the test!

New Paltz

Once when I got the call
I drove to her house at no time at all
Barged through the bedroom door
Saw the rope, need I say more
She broke down, to her knee
"I need help, can't you see?"
Summer turns to Fall
The records are strewn out across the hall
Her friends took her to a show
To a band that she loves so she won't feel so alone
Wants to have a part to please
I'm so scared that she won't feel free
I jog around the Quad
My favorite thing to do in the fog
I stopped when I saw her there
She looked like she had a nightmare
"I had a few Percocets"
"I'm waiting for it to take effect"
So I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
(She looked so scared, I really cared)
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
(She looked so scared, I really cared)
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
(She was so scared, I really cared)
I took her to the clinic at New Paltz
(She was so scared, I really cared)
New Paltz
(She was so scared, I really cared)
New Paltz
(She was so scared, I really cared)

Young couple in love
Ain't that the stuff
See a dule of doves
Flying over the sun
What a perfect day
To dream my life away
Feelings are delayed
And I don't want to stay
Where everyone's quiet, to me
It's not your choice, not to raise your voice
And sing a song for the people(3x)
Had a quid pro quo
With someone I didn't know
It just goes to show
How desperate one can go
To take a time out, and breathe
It's not your choice, not to raise your voice
And sing a song for the people(3x)
Couldn't give a damn
Head's stuck in the sand
But I don't want to do
Want the people want me to
Independent Man
Stuck with only one plan
The pressure's on you
So let's see what you can do
Get pushed around and shoved
By the people you love
It's not your choice, not to raise your voice
And sing a song for the people(3x)
Lend another ear, hear what your mind wants to hear
And sing a song for the people(3x)

She wanted to make the case
Head notions filled with grace
Want a feeling from an old place
Get aquatinted with a new face
Again, again, again
Now feel insecure
By friends you prefer
Attempts to impress herself
She's figure for someone else
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Talks pretty full
She thinks she's in control
But she's really a whore in a bow
I swear
I swear
She does it
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Now I'm out to settle a score
Cause she's out wanting more
You're not a fashion statement
It really is enslavement
And she does it
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again

My Biggest Concern
04:22

You tried to lead the calvary
Expecting another victory
But you zoned out into space
Failure on your face
Now you think you're disgrace
A disgrace
The man in black gives it another try
With a poor lord up, covering his crime
The plan's a work of art
An idea shot from Mars
Will it save you from your faults?
Your faults
The world tries to take you
Twist and turn
Separate the most from the few
And I need you
Trust me
You're My Biggest Concern
The weapon they want won't be given
Take my hand and be driven
From this bird cage
Trying to escape
Do it before it's too late
Too late
The world tries to take you
Twist and turn
Separate the most from the few
And I need you
Trust me
You're My Biggest Concern
You're My Biggest Concern
You're My Biggest Concern

Breathe
And see
The love you want to reap
Won't be there to keep
So please
Take my hand
Let's dance
Like it's our last chance

I talked to her last night, she blew my mind
And I talk to too much, and I'll lose my sight
I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out
And I can not breathe
And I can not sleep
Am I going too fast, am I going to slow
I don't wanna lose her, she's all I know
I tell myself she's too good for me
I hope one day she doesn't set me free
And I feel like a creep
And I feel like a creep
And I can not breathe
And I can not sleep
Am I going too fast, am I going to slow
I don't wanna lose her, she's all I know
I gotta watch out, I need her too much
Gotta learn how to strut my stuff
Carefully
Carefully
I hope I'm not going to far
This anxiety just dented my car
I need to leave
I need to leave
And I can not breathe
And I can not sleep
Am I going too fast, am I going to slow
I don't wanna lose her, she's all I know
And I can not breathe
And I can not sleep
Am I going too fast, am I going to slow
I don't wanna lose her, she's all I know
And I can not breathe
And I can not sleep
Am I going too fast, am I going to slow
I don't wanna lose her, she's all I know
