Better

I like us better when we get high
When we find a place to stay
Where we waste the day away
Sit around and chit chat
Tell me that you feel that way
You know I can't wait
There's a weight on my shoulder
I won't believe when it's over
Feel like I've been sinking
Always overthinking
Buried too deep today
There's been a change in you
I can't believe it's true
But we used to have such nice, long chats
And now I'm so lucky if you just talk back
Won't you come along and look my way
But god, now I'm dreading how long you'll stay
With me
Won't you
Let me
Explain?
I want you to take my pain
There's a million different ways
Just give me the time of day
Think you can manage to clean up all the damage?
We can do it all today
You won't show me a sign
So baby cut another line
'Cause we used to have such nice, long chats
And now I'm so lucky if you just talk back
Won't you come along and look my way
But god, now I'm dreading how long you'll stay
With me
Won't you
Let me
Explain?
Baby I found you in my time of need
And it's not getting any better so it's time to leave
Yeah, I know that I said all of this before
But I don't wanna see your face round here no more, no more
No more
There's been a change in me
And god, I wanna believe
That we used to have such nice, long chats
And now I'm so lucky if you just talk back
Won't you come along and look my way
But god, now I'm dreading how long you'll stay
With me
Won't you
Leave me
Alone?

Day by day every passing hour
Trapped inside my head
Fight for an ideal that can't be real
Think I'm getting knocked down again
Take a look at you
Playing so cool
Think you know better than me?
Well words move quick
So don't talk shit
Unless you're ready for this
Who the hell do you think you are?
You can't even look at me
Bet you think you'll make it so far
Well take my advice
And don't pretend you're nice
It'll be better that way
Look who's back
Thanks again for joining
How has your day been?
Tell me all about those who wronged you
Are they all gonna pay for it?
Take a look at you
Losing your cool
Think you'll ever get over it?
Well words move quick
So don't talk shit
Unless you're ready for this
Who the hell do you think you are?
You can't even look at me
Now I bet you think you'll make it so far
Well take my advice
And think it through twice
It'll be better that way
Take a good look at me
Tell it to me true
Are you really happy
With all you do?
You know that we're still waiting
Show us the proof
We are already broken things
And you've already got a king
So tell me
Who the hell do you think you are?
You can't even look at me
Still I bet you think you'll make it so far
Well take my advice
And don't pretend you're nice
It'll be better that way
Who the hell do you think you are?
You can't even look at me, yeah
Bet you think you'll make it so far
Loyalty ain't free
So get away from me
I'm already over this

I see you in that nine to five
Keep telling yourself that you're staying alive
Just wait til you see it through my eyes
Yeah, yeah
Talk is cheap and that place is glum
Remember the world that we come from
Don't forget the feeling when you see his lies
Don't give away the man you are
You've got a million different reasons why you came this far
Curtis
Why's your head so low?
You wanna play with the big boys
Then take control
I see that you still can't hear
He's keeping your head clouded with fear
How much longer did he think that I'd hide
From here?
He hated you so he stole away
A layer of you each and everyday
What will he think with me back by your side?
Oh no
Don't give away the man you are
You've got a million different reasons why you came this far
Curtis
Why's your head so low?
You wanna play with the big boys
Then take control
Curtis can't you see the world is begging for exile?
That horror-filled atrocity has had you for a while
Don't make the man a monster or you'll fall into his scheme
His power comes from weakness that you think he cannot see
Don't give away the man you are
Curtis
Why's your head so low?
You wanna play with the big boys
Then take control

Look My Way

All this time I've been away
I don't know where to start
Maybe we can finally try to say things from the heart
I guess sometimes I miss you
But I think it's for the best
Though there are some things I'd want to get off of my chest
It's been one year and counting
Think I'm glad that I'm away
Still there's just one last thing I'd wanna hear you say
Hey! Won't you look my way?
Don't make the same mistakes that I did at your age
It's true, there's so much more for you
But you can't look back and say that you didn't change
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Sometimes I look inside myself
And know that you were right
But I cannot excuse the way you tried to pick a fight
You've never been my maker
But I valued what you said
Until your vanity became the voice I heard instead
Hey! Won't you look my way?
Won't make the same mistakes that you did at my age
It's true, there's so much more for you
But you can't look back and say that I didn't change
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
I feel the change
When I speak your name
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But I won't play your game
The echo of your presence
Still haunts me to this day
Though there's still one last thing I'd wanna hear you say
Hey! Won't you look my way?
Don't make the same mistakes that I did at your age
It's true, there's so much more for you
But you can't look back and say you didn't change

Another Line

You know that misery loves company
But I won't be joining you
So take your beer and take your pay
On that nightly rendez-vous
I remember how much you love to party
So I'm sure you're doing fine
You like to think you got no time for sleep
So cut another line
Do you like the way this feels
Knowing all your pain is real
And you're caught in a black hole of self-pity
Knowing all of your faith was put in me
And I'm sorry I can't be there for you
But you were never there for me
No, you were never there for me
There is no reason to the things you do
Towards your friends and family
A smile on your face and a touch of grace
While you speak so tactfully
I remember that look after I asked
How you wanted to succeed
You like to think you care for your people
But all I see is greed
Do you like the way this feels
Knowing all the blame is real
And you're caught in a black hole of self-pity
Knowing all of your faith was put in me?
And I'm sorry I can't be there for you
But you were never there for me
No, you were never there for me
After all of these months
Trapped inside my head
I always thought you'd be the one
Leaving me instead
But here I am
Closing the curtains in the end
So party on my dear
And keep hoping I bend
Do you like the way this feels
Knowing all my pain is real?
And I'm caught in a black hole of self pity
'Cause I knew that your faith was put in me
And I know I was never there for you
But you were never there for me
No, you were never there for me

Tainted
04:31
|

|
Trapped within the memory
Of the man you used to be
Take pride in all the things you know
And hide with me where they can't go
Were you ashamed
Of the way you were holding me back?
Am I to blame
When you know I can't take your path?
If I explained
All the ways I disagree
Would anybody hear me?
Don't say I didn't warn you
Don't taint my memory
All of your little whispers find their way to me
Thought I was blind but now I see
The man that you won't show to me
With heavy thoughts caught in his hands
You don't think I'd understand
That you're ashamed
Of the way you were holding me back
That I'm to blame
When you know I can't take your path
If I explained
All the ways I disagree
I know you wouldn't hear me
Don't say I didn't warn you
Don't taint my memory
All of your little whispers find their way to me
Time makes the voices carry
I'm always listening
Your dirty little secrets can always break free
Even through your gritted teeth
You've tainted me
And I can't breathe
So say what you need to say then leave
'Cause I won't concede
And I can't believe
A word of the tales you tell about me
About me
Now I'm trapped within the memory
Of the man you used to be
Take pride in all the things you know
And hide with me where they can't go
Don't say I didn't warn you
Don't taint my memory
All of your little whispers find their way to me
Time makes the voices carry
I'm always listening
Your dirty little secrets can always break free

Lines&Laces Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
After a fateful encounter, ex-art kid Tiff Zips and powder keg Michael Kahana use the power of friendship and melodrama to pretend they're still as emotionally volatile as teenagers. Moody, angsty and (occasionally) manic enough to harbor a god complex, Tiff's lyrics and melodies light the fire that fuels Michael's love of harmony and music theory.
