Worth It (Censored)

You know, you coulda took a little bit more from me
you know, You coulda told some more lies
you know, You coulda felt a little bit more apathy
But it woulda taken too much of your time
Two weeks in, you gave me a bandaid
But when I tried it on I just felt ill
But I'm not worth saying that you ****** up
I'm not worth trying to talk it out
Kept your silence like you gave it to me
Kept my head, didn't scream or shout
But I'm not worth it
No I'm not worth it
To you
(That b**** done ****ed up. I think I’mma have to write a song about it)
(I asked you) to give me the kind of respect you say you deserve
(I asked you) to tell me when you were gonna get back to me
(I asked you) to maybe try and show me some real gratitude (gratitude)
(“so... did she?” “NO!”)
But you left me with your mess to clean up
Don't you worry, no... I'll make sure you get the bill
But I'm not worth saying that you f***** up
I'm not worth trying to talk it out
Kept your silence like you gave it to me
Kept my head, didn't scream or shout
But I'm not worth it
No I'm not worth it
To you
I fought your past, though you never asked me to
It never died, it was the best that I could do
A thousand dollars, a thousand "I told you so"s less
You drove me to m m m m m m mad mad madness
That's the bed I built for you, that's my phone in your hand
It's my bag on your shoulder but you don't wanna understand
CAUSE YOU'RE SO TRUSTWORTHY, ALWAYS DOIN' WHAT YOU SAY
CAUSE YOU'RE SO WARM AND CARING LISTENING TO ME ALL DAY
and you help (when it’s convenient)
you give (when it’s convenient)
you talk (when it’s convenient)
you leave (when it’s convenient)
(but you)
eat my food
(and you)
take my stuff
(and you)
ask for cash
That's enough.
Everything on your terms, take your shit that only I use
Too many things to list that you’ve abused
My trust, my wallet, my heart, my soul,
I never asked you for s***, but when I did, you said no.
Nobody takes as much as you did
You choose when you want to be seen as an invalid
Two way streets? You seem to only be familiar with one
so sad to see, turns out you’re just a CooooN
tinuation of the fuck up I’ve already left behind
I no longer allow parasites in my mind
They say that giving should never have expectations.
but It was a long minute before my revelation
It was supposed to be seven more months
how many thousands of dollars did you want?
Go on head, make sure you get your fair share,
Took a while, but I’m happy to say I don’t care
But I'm not worth saying that you ****ed up
I'm not worth trying to talk it out (now talk it out, talk it out)
I kept your silence like you gave it to me
Kept my head, didn't scream or shout
But I’m not worth it
But I'm not worth saying that you f***ed up
I'm not worth trying to talk it out
I kept your silence like you gave it to me
Kept my head, didn't scream or shout
But I’m not worth it
You know, you coulda took a little bit more from me (No, I’m not worth it)
you know, You coulda told some more lies (I am worth it)
you know, You coulda shown a little bit more HYPOCRISY (DON’T LEAVE ME)
But it woulda taken too much of your time
Bye ~

Calculate my every move
See that blink and think it’s cause of you
I know that smile, and it ain’t mine, that’s for certain
Suffocation is the truth, there’s never a glance that I can follow through
I can’t dwell on it, or I might come back to my senses
Now, I hate to whine, but even if I can’t say it, I know you know me better
Don’t deny, in spite of your best performance, I only ever saw you
You gave me a script, without improvisation I followed it to the letter
But ain’t it a shame, old friend, back then, that she didn’t love you?
She didn’t love you
She could never like I did
Opened up my heart for you
And all your feelings hid
She didn’t love you
Can you hear your confirmation
How about them calculations
Go on ahead, think what you want Every day, I hold a concrete front
The only problem is I ain’t happy and you know it
What a save, you let it go, sad thing was I couldn’t go no more
It’s all or nothing, if I can’t have you I might blow it
I’ll let you think just cause I didn’t call you out, that I don’t know nothing
The second you told me, I shut down and hid my brightest light from you
Don’t go and pout, the only thing we ever fell for was daydreamin’an idea
It’s easy to see old boy, old man, that I never loved you.
I never loved you
you never gave me what I need
Opened my heart up for you
You watched me sit and bleed
I never loved you
Can you hear my devastation
How about those calculations
Well I guess thinking logically
I kinda acted idiotically
I didn’t know but you were newer than I’d suspected
There was a time, there is a place
I coulda known by the look on your face
I was gonna be surreptitiously rejected
I gotta be real, ain’t nothing in this whole lwide world that’ll make me forget you
There is a line, and crossing it won’t be something that I would contemplate
but I have to say, I’m sorry that I’m just a bit late
I loved you
You were exactly what I needed
If I hadn’t not had you
I would never be completed
I loved you
you were part of my exploration
but there were minor complications

Sure

Now hear this... don't come crying to me
I know these times have got you blinded but
Oh can I see the patterns raging
Your ragged breathing echoes in these walls
And now this go around has got you oh so
Sure you're falling... just falling
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I can
Share my shadows tonight
Come on now don't fight it
Share my shadows tonight
A quarter after the line, leaves are caressing your mind
You know they won't be stoppin now
The naive promises so weak, selfish mindlessness so deep
I left, I sacrificed my prototype
No one can stop me but me
I'm trembling quivering with possibility
Cupped in darkness' gentle had, trapped by serpentine demand
My life has never been MINE
Share my shadows tonight
Come now, they won't mind it
Share my shadows tonight
You are the one behind it
My hopes, my dreams, are jaded
My hates, my fears are coming out
This pain, these tears mean nothing
Just another step of finding out how to
Share my shadows tonight
Come on now, please don't fight it
Share my shadows tonight
Come on now they won't mind it
Share my shadows tonight
You are the one behind it
Share my shadows tonight

Go On With Yourself
04:17

Would you please die in a fire? I don't mean to be mean, but it seems to me
that you're poisoning everyone who cares to surround you
go ahead and just call me a liar but who wants to see your face
I wouldn't take your place if it meant a hundred million dollars and a pocketful of warheads
(check it) You don't know me like I thought you did, so when it all comes crashing down, you won't win for losin'
I'll make sure and get those good seats I'll pay extra for them, I don't care, as long as I get to see the flames, ooh
Go on with yourself, don't matter what you mean to me, ooh I'll be singing (na na na na na na) x2
(quote) I always needed time on my own, I never thought I'd do some other guy (unquote)
Now hear this, don't come crying to me. If blood is thicker than water, well, why you keep pissing on the family tree?
And the zankoku (cruel) truth is when ya hang all your dirty laundry out, well it's just hanging there, someone's bound to get hit in the face with that shit
And I know that there be fukai, fukai (deep, deep) in the depths of your soul something beautiful but you've stepped to the dark side so for now I'mma hafta to play yoda up in this biyetch (Y O D A YODA)
Go on with yourself, don't matter what you mean to me, ooh I'll be singing (na na na na na na) x2
So now your militant momma's kicked you halfway homeless and everybody thinks you're datin a troll (is he gay?)
But they're still shitting rainbows in your eyes, Keep on going how you're going you're gonna end up forever alone
(U mad, Bro?) Well that's tough shit, Cuz I tend to think that you're getting just what you asked for
I've been fooled to google, and I don't plan on playin "friendly and nicely" no more
And all you want, and all you need, you won't be gettin it from me
Just so you know, I'm waiting for that day you rise from the ashes of all of the people you left on the wayside
Go on with yourself, don't matter what you mean to me, ooh I'll be singin Nanananana
Give up, give up, don't matter what you do to me, ooh I'll be singing
Would you please die in a fire? I don't mean to be mean, but it seems to me...

Reason to Groove
03:21

Oh baby can’t you see it
Why I gotta ask out loud?
Got to believe when I say I need it
You are the reason I sing it out
Your feet tappin’ on the floor
Gives my bass its fire
When you let your shoulders move
my voice goes a little bit higher
When you nod your head in time
It gives me my reason to groove
Give me my reason to groove
Keep me on a stage singing out my soul
Party people dancing
Make me wanna sing more, more, more
Get your butt on the floor
Give me my reason to groove
I like to pretend that I’m a star
And my wardrobe is endless
But I’ve got a secret and it is that
I’m making less than a waitress
Need you to show me the love now
Move me if you dare
Two step a little bit closer
Tip jar is right over there
When you fill my love bucket
It gives me my reason to groove
Give me my reason to groove
Keep me on a stage singing out my soul
Party people dancing
Make me wanna sing more, more, more
Get your butt on the floor
Give me my reason to groove
I like to pretend that I’m unique
But I’m like a lot of women
I try not to be a diva but,
I need a lot of attention
So get out on the dance floor
Come and work as hard as me
Show your love or show me the door
I need you dancin’ don’t you see
Your face lights up when I play your song
It gives me my reason to groove
Give me my reason to groove
Keep me on a stage singing out my soul
Party people dancing
Make me wanna sing more, more, more
Get your butt on the floor
Give me my reason to groove

VERSE
Daddy's girl and she was beautiful
Wouldn't grease her squeaky wheels
Found a kiss that she died for
And he needed her to kneel
Momma told her a story said
Don't worry honey you can fight the bad man too
Just keep it to yourself, tell anybody else
I'll sic your dad on you
She needs everyone to need her
Still needs someone today
And everything that mattered
she just screamed it all away
CHORUS
She'd been screaming
till a couple hours ago
Bout everything in her mind
but there was nothing in her soul
She could be free
but she was always so unsure
Hurt people hurt people
She couldn't take it anymore
Mamma's boy and he was beautiful
Trying to be the perfect man
Daddy emanating "you're not the son I wanted"
Over and over again
Tried his best to be invisible and it worked out pretty well
'Cept when a force of nature
Put him in his own little hell
Buddhist/Christian/Athiesm
Just trying to find a way
But if your pain defines you
Just scream it all away
And he'd been screaming till a couple months ago
Bout nothing in his mind
And everything in his soul
He could be free
But he was never so unsure
Hurt people hurt people
He couldn't take it anymore
Brother sister they were beautiful
never feel that way again
cuz the wounds between them cut too deep
and they ain't never gonna mend
I tried to fix it man you know I did
she needs too much, he wants too little
I poured out my soul til she broke my heart now they won't ever meet in the middle
ooh don't you know that letting go can be the hardest thing to do
Holding grudges fuels you fire but they'll be the end of you
My life is mine its time to live
Ain't ever gonna throw it away
And if anybody mess with me
I'mma sing, them, all, a, way
Cause we've been screaming
Till a couple years ago
We're working on our minds
But at peace in our souls
We are free
We'll never be unsure
Hurt people hurt people
We won't take it anymore
Hurt people hurt people
We won't take it anymore

Lunacy
04:23

You take me
To a stranger place
I look at mirrors
and don't know my face
I feel so high
Laid on the ground
Wilting
in your fire
I start to drown
Head is spinnin
I can't tell what's up or down
You use me
And I always go to waste
Feel so bitter
And you love the taste
Free me please
While I still have sanity
You hate me
But I won't let go
What coulda
No you'll never know
An asylum
I'm your padded room
Pleasure
in my ruin
Savor your doom
Keep from cryin
As I howl at the moon
Remember
How we started off as friends
Now you're left
Just prayin for the end
Now you see
To escape means to bleed

Conduct

In my other world of love and peace, I fall into a dream or two
'Bout all the answers for which I have questions
But a candid lie is all that I retrieve
When I'm in my dreams
Through the random thoughts and memories I think of you
The future feels so far away, here's now and then but where's the in between?
Storming through my soul's where the rain should be
It's empty until then, and silence awaits the fall
You found me...I'll never know how
First you warn me, still I cry out and reach for you
You slip your hand in mine, so I won't turn from you
Gently you pull away and quietly say
"You found me...you'll never know how,
because my traces disappear like steps in water.
Into the darkness you shed all of your light but it's already there.
you won't touch me, so you can't heal me."
In my other world, you found me ... but you won't find me
