Unleash the Hound
03:50
|
|||
When I was young I was forgotten about in the rain
Everyone was gone, nobody came... I was a puppy
Nobody loved me they pushed me away
Even my mom said I couldn't stay, she said I was ugly
But they don't know the pain that's been pent up 'til now
I'm breaking off this chain...
Unleash the hound
Unleash the hound
The shelter found me, sent me straight to the pound, see they knew I was bad
That was the time I got real mad, I changed the streets
What I least expected, what were the odds?
On every sign instead of "Beware of Dog" it said "Beware of Beast"
But they don't know the pain, now look at what they found
I'm breaking off this chain...
Unleash the hound
Unleash the hound
SOLO
But they don't know the pain, they tried to put me down
I'm mentally insane, I drove everyone out of town
I'm breaking off this chain... You unleashed the hound
Unleash the hound
Unleash the hound
You unleashed the hound

Walk Angry
02:12
|
|||
Almost everybody likes to stomp their feet
Whether it's at a party or just to keep a beat
But you don't know how tough it is for me
I can't stop stomping... I always walk angry
People either gimme space or get out of my way
Or see me walking toward their place and quickly move away
Nobody believes me, I'm really nice but frankly
I can't stop stomping cuz I always walk angry
My feet are naturally loud
My feet usually make cracks and break the street
Because they don't know I can't control my feet
SOLO
I can make a puddle splash like it's a pool
Turn a sidewalk into rubble without using power tools
I tried to drive a car, it didn't work out great
Pushed the pedals a bit too far and I even broke the brake
Go to people's houses and they look at me blankly
I accidentally redecorate cuz I...
Destroy the inner city, evil villains would thank me
New York City's ruined cuz I...
Seem like I'm a villain but I'm too tall and lanky
I don't seem like a guy who always walks angry

Beatin' Around the Bush
03:00
|
|||
I don't want to insult her, not to say I would
I don't know when to talk to her even though I could
I don't really know what to tell her even though I know I should
And if I keep beating around the bush it won't do me much good
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop, ain't never gonna stop, I'm
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop until I make my move
I'd say "you shine bright like a star, you should be in space
Come over here and let me feel ya, have one sweet embrace
I don't wanna lose you cuz I got no more love to waste,"
We'd be the perfect couple if I could only say that to her face
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop, ain't never gonna stop, I'm
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop until I make my move
Let's Go!
SOLO
Keep thinking about your beauty every single day
I wish my nerves wouldn't get the best of me cuz I have so much more to say
I hope my skies turn to a pretty blue instead of this cloudy grey
So I can get outside and trim those hedges and they'll be outta my way
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop, ain't never gonna stop, I'm
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop until I make my
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop, ain't never gonna stop, I'm
Beatin' around the bush
Ain't never gonna stop until I make my, 'til I make my, 'til I make my move

Gotta Be Me
01:51
|
|||
I never wanted to be someone that I'm not, just me
Ain't gonna change my personality... I like me
I'll never change my face no surgery, gotta be me
I gotta, gotta, gotta be me
It's my only good idea
Don't wanna be anyone else, I wanna be me, I don't wanna be ya.
Ain't gonna be fake I guarantee that's not me
I gotta, gotta, gotta be me
It's my only good idea
Don't wanna be anyone else, I wanna be me, I don't wanna be ya

Knocking At Your Door
02:54
|
|||
Walking up to your doorstep with a fistful of stems in my hand
Ready to take you out tonight to show you I'm a real man
I got my coat on, a tie and black shoes on
Looks like I bought out the store
My confidence could kill and I'm dressed to thrill
I'm knocking at your door
Your doorbell's probably broken so instead I'll just knock
Been half an hour since I showed up I just hope you haven't forgot
You said 8:30 now I'm getting worried
Cuz you might've said before
And if I'm wrong then you won't respond to
My knocking at your door
Coulda been the wrong house or maybe I just missed
Now from all that knocking my knuckles' bleeding down my wrist
Why did I put up? I knew I'd get stood up
I don't even know what for
Did all the right stuff but not enough
Knocking at your door

She owns a cafe on the side of the road
For me the door is always locked
I sit outside with my empty coffee cup
While people walk by me and mock
She said "Read the sign. I ain't got no time. The last thing I need is this.
You ain't got no shirt, you ain't got no shoes, so I don't want none of your business"
Even when it's raining out or it's blistering hot
She won't even offer me a drink
I know I screwed up the first time but I think I've changed
Still I don't know what she's supposed to think
Now I only got pants, first time was my final chance and from then on I was dismissed
Cuz I ain't got no shirt, I ain't got no shoes, so she don't want none of my business
SOLO
I really miss her, want to be her mister and I want her to be my missus
But I ain't got no shirt, I ain't got no shoes so she won't give me any business

Lonliphobia
03:17
|
|||
Hold me under this microscope
And tell me what you see
Bring that lens closer and closer,
There's more that meets the eye
Use your X-ray vision
And explain what's within me:
A broken heart, an empty stomach
And a brain that's stained with lies
I got a bad case of Lonliphobia
I don't like this sickness within (Lonliphobia)
I don't like this sickness killin' within (Lonliphobia)
I feel dizzy, sleepy, kills me deeply (Lonliphobia)
I don't wanna be alone!
Tell me that I'm beautiful
It's what I wanna hear
Feed me words of wisdom
Or a proverb that never was...
But you leave me in the dark
Alone I only have one fear
I've grown up with it my whole life
It's a serious affliction of... Lonliphobia!
I don't like this sickness within me (Lonliphobia)
I don't like this sickness killin' within (Lonliphobia)
I feel dizzy, sleepy, kills me deeply (Lonliphobia)
I don't wanna be alone!
Living as a lab rat
Has attacked me at my core
Everyone says I'm a baby
Says it's just a myth
But what good would acting do me?
Please tell me what for
Those people won't understand
What it's like living with...
What it's like living with Lonliphobia!
I don't like this sickness within (Lonliphobia)
I don't like this sickness killin' within (Lonliphobia)
I feel dizzy, sleepy, kills me deeply (Lonliphobia)
I don't wanna be alone! Lonliphobia!
I don't like this sickness within me, Lonliphobia
I don't like this sickness in me

Saying What I Wanna Hear
04:09
|
|||
I have a 6-pack
All the ladies love me
When I was a baby
I was never ugly
This is all me lying
With a pad and pen
I'm never a douchebag
I have tons of friends
I've got the body
Of a Roman god
i'm the greatest actor
No one thinks I'm odd
My girl never cheated
I know that's a fact...
She's always up front with me
Never behind my back
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Saying what I wanna hear
My parents love me
Dad is sobered up
I wanna settle down
I just know I'll fall in love
I'll have the perfect life
I'll plan it to a T
I love the life I'm living
Without insanity
I'm a straight-A student
I am somewhat smart
Yeah, I have a fallback
That isn't in the arts
Gonna live forever
I am never sad
Never told a girl I loved her
But now I wish I had
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Saying what I wanna hear
Don't tell me if they're dating
Nah, just plea the fifth
I don't care if she's dating
I don't care who she's with
I don't care if she's dating
I don't care who she's with
I don't care if she's dating
I don't care who she's with
I don't care if she's dating
I don't care who she's with
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Aww who am I kidding? Let's make one thing clear!
I wish I was telling the truth but I'm just saying what I wanna hear
Saying what I wanna hear

Can't Look
03:49
|
|||
You're happy and she's happy too but I can't bare to look at you
We were one at one point, oh no... Behind those two closed doors I saw you go
And I'm glad those doors were there cuz I would've broken down and cried...
Instead I saw those two doors close and I just sighed
What can I do now? It's too late
It happened my world was shook
Hopefully it all comes crumbling down but for now I just can't look
I just can't look
Me and you were friends since elementary and we both knew how much she meant to me
It was her decision so I guess it's fair, I guess I didn't really show her how much I really cared
And I'm glad those doors were there cuz I would've broken down and cried
Instead I saw those two doors close and I just sighed
What can I do now? It's too late
It happened my world was shook
Hopefully it all comes crumbling down but for now I just can't look
I just can't look
And I'm glad those doors were there cuz I would've broken down and cried
Instead I saw those two doors close and I just sighed
What can I do now? It's too late
It happened my world was shook
Hopefully it all comes crumbling down but for now...
What can I do now? It's too late
It happened my heart was took
Hopefully it all comes crumbling down but for now I just can't look
I just can't look

Lost Cause
02:45
|
|||
Been skipping school since Pre-K
ABC's weren't my thing
All I needed was A through G
But even now I still can't sing
If any rule maker steps in my way
I swear I'll end 'em
Cuz I know they wanna be cool like me
They just don't have enough denim
I'm a lost cause! A troubled kid
I shouldn't have done all the crap that I did
I'm a lost cause! A problem child
With all ten fingerprints on file
All my life's just graffiti
This artwork by a psychopath
Every which way I go, I know
It'll be the right path
Don't try to save me mama
I'm too far gone...
There's no ways of stopping me
Cuz I'mma do what I want
I'm a lost cause! A reckless punk
Shouldn't have thought all the things I thunk
I'm a lost cause! A troubled kid
Shouldn't have done all the crap I did
SOLO
I'm done with all this book work
I'll keep dressing like a lady
Playing rock n' roll is too much fun...
You'll never change me
I'm a lost cause! A troubled kid
I shouldn't have done all the crap that I did
I'm a lost cause! A problem child
With all ten fingerprints on file
I'm a lost cause! A reckless punk
Shouldn't have thought all the things I thunk
I'm a lost cause! A troubled kid
Shouldn't have done all the crap I did
