1. HELENA BEAT

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand.
It puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again.
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it I just follow my head.
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread.
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, it's got nothing to lose.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.

You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again.
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz' you're coming down hard your joints are off stud.
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall I got the calls of the prison I was living in.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.


2. PUMPED UP KICKS

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a Cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I Don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.


All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, Yeah.


All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, faster than my bullet.



All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better Run, better run, faster than my bullet.


3. CALL I WHAT YOU WANT

Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
I said just call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
Call it what you want.

Yeah we're locked up in ideas
We like to label everything
Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruises from all your enemies,
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from your Expectancies

Uuuh, We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')!
Uuuh, We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just

Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
I said just call it what you want (ye-yeah)
Call it what you want

You've taken your words and you take your judgments
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into,
Then you run the other way
You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" Who cares?
Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got Nothing on me

Uuuh, We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
Uuuh, We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just


Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
Call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
I said just call it what you want (ye-ye-yeah)
Call it what you want.


4. DON'T STOP (COLOR ON THE WALLS)

Walk little walk Small talk big thoughts
Gonna tell them all just what I want
That Street two streets I see you and me
Hanging on the empty of swings
'Count high low don't worry my eyes are closed
Im a superman and it's my show
One shoe two gonna kick with My new shoes

I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
When the monsters they wont go,

The devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off

And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to Wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to Change, yeah

You know its funny how freedom can make us feel contained
When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers than you'd escape With me
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you When you speak, or scream

And every day that you want to waste, that you want to Waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to Wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to Change, yeah

6. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU

Never wanna stand up for myself
Never wanna get in the way, I said it

And shaking my head from all I have done
But you never left me

7. HOUDINI

Whacha want whacha need whacha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
Takin me down is a prisoners right

8. LIFE ON THE NICKEL

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time

I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
I said the light's gonna change
But I'm calm and feeling warm
And now I'm sticking out my hands
And feeling weightless again

You got to push, got to shove
I've got to eat before they eat me
Got the crown and the cup
I've got to write to my family
And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
I'm not quite there, but I'm close
And it's a world of a difference

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time

I've got the worst all behind me
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
I'm the king of the city
I'm a roach and they're all primates
This is meal time
Real life
I'm not gonna fight
No, I'm gonna start a war

I've been right
I've been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
I've been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
And I'm lonely
My eyes have been closed to the world
'Cause the world's got nothing for me

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Take a little hit and I lose the time

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling [x3]


9. MISS YOU

Forget your problems
Lay down inside of
Your innocence of what you are
Is What I want
I bring my colors
Drip down and drained out
Tried a million things
But my hearts been shy
Well I hope you try and find me
I'm most tired of pacing
And I know what you want to say
So say it
Forget the words speak it just want to rearrange
So I just say it

OoooOoooO
I really miss you
Miss you
Say
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you miss you say
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Beat stroking this like
Things I think are right
I never knew I could go as far as this
I took your problem greasly and forgot him
I know who I had been before I slipped
Oh I want to change it
I will live a life that makes you smile
When I'm done here in long long
Fever is peaking just want to see your face
Oh what cha say, what cha say?

OoOoOO yea
I really
miss you
miss you
Say
Smile at the chance to just see you again
I really miss you miss you say
So Look at me now
Before I walk away
You might just miss me miss me
One day
Yeah Yeah Yeah


10. WARRANT

Well I've been just I've been a bug unknown
I know all about it but my heart is strong

I've been away been running to save my head
Yeah the warrants out and I'm almost there
No ones said what I've already said

Got to get away
Everyone inside my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead [x2]

I've thought a lot about the way fight
Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me

I can stop or argue about what they say
Yeah the warrants out and I'm gonna pay
I said what I'm gonna say

Got to get away
Everyone inside my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead [x2]

He was like a fake friend who warms you up and takes you in
You mouth the words but no sound comes out

And he was like your best friend who wakes you up and takes You in
You mouth the words and sound again

Don't know better
Don't know better

Got to get away
Everyone inside my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead [x4]


11. BROKEN JAW

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I've broken it a lot
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it
Well I had them broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting farther from my memories

And then you take it away
Then I come back down

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You tell me what's my name
I'm the same I've just been rearranged
Smile through a choke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it
Well I have been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me

And then you take it away
Then I come back down

Sometimes you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopeless hoping to be found
Then they arise and say "you're perfect my love"
And I, I know why
But you said I don't know
You don't know
You said I don't know
You don't know
You said I don't know
You don't know
You said I don't know

Stick it away with your mind
Beneath my broken jaw
You slay my ego
What you need is dying and you're sad
