Your Jokes Aren't Funny

length: 3:08

[Verse 1]
Your clothes and your motions, they caught my eye
It's no disguise what you want from me
Your humor, [?] so contrived
It's no surprise what you want from me
Got no quarters in my pocket
There's no change to play your game

[Verse 2]
Your perfume scent, the lies I'll admit
Just more evident what you want from me
The right recipe but the wrong target
You'll never get what you want from me
Got no quarters in my pocket
There's no change to play your game

[Chorus]
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be

[Verse 3]
You don't need scales to tell you're a snake
In for the take, yeah, you're using me
Someone in your life didn't hug you enough
I'm not your drug, no abusing me
Got no quarters in my pocket
There's no change to play your game

[Chorus]
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be
Fool that I used to be

[Bridge]
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be

[Chorus]
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me
I'm not the same fool that I used to be
Fool that I used to be
Fool that I used to be
Your jokes aren't funny anymore to me

Party on Apocalypse

[Verse 1]
Living for the weekend state of mind makes me sick
Just thinking of the bad habits
People passing out in parking lots
That "You only live once" way of thinking
It's so twisted
Are you living or just wasted
In escape 'cause you can't face it?
If a psycho said this is the end, I think I'd believe it

[Chorus]
Now the whole world is full of it
Build a bunker and jump in it
After everyone self-destructs
Pop the hatch and we'll climb back up
Now the whole world is full of it
Build a bunker and jump in it
After everyone self-destructs
Pop the hatch and we'll climb back up
Back up

[Verse 2]
This self-centered generation taking pictures of themselves
And changing features
Printing over critical creatures
Everyone's got a cause
But how strong is the foundation?
Moving like the waves of the ocean
Do you care or just throw stones in?
If a billboard read this was the end, I think I'd believe it

[Bridge]
I heard there's a hot new craze of driving off a steep cliff
Are you gonna do it?
What would they say if you won't?
I hear there's a brand new trend
Where you swallow bags of thumb tacks
Are you gonna do it?
What would they say if you don't?

[Outro]
(It's the end of the world as we know it)
I'm building a bunker and jumping in
Are you gonna do it?
(It's the end of the world as we know it)
What will I say if I won't?
(It's the end of the world as we know it)
I'm building a bunker and jumping in
Are you gonna do it?
(It's the end of the world as we know it)
What will I say if I don't?

Call Me Anti‐Social

It's a barren land, but they all throw shade
I can't make peace, post-modern age
I'm a tourist lost in translation
And there's nothing new under the sun
You see, I like it so much better when I'm safe inside
And at times your good company is hard to find
To keep a nourished mind, I need water

I'm trapped in another boring summer
While everyone is living it up
But it's way too hot to go outside
When I don't relate to anyone
In another boring summer
While everyone is living it up
But it's way too hot to go outside
When I don't relate to anyone
Call me anti-social
It's more than I could hope for

I'm not a star of stage and screen
I don't know lines, but you make a scene
I'm an alien crashed in an old west town
Beam me up, get me out
You see, I like it so much better when I'm safe inside
Even though I know my reputation's on the line
To keep a nourished mind, I need water

You see, I like it so much better when I'm safe inside
Even though I know my reputation's on the line
To keep a nourished mind, I need water, water

Happy Being Miserable

[Verse 1]
Carried your burdens in my heart
Sidelined your shallow ways
It just tore me apart
I used to think I was your savior
I see through you now
You indulge in this behavior

[Verse 2]
We can debate our separate views
Just look at all your roadblocks
Logic will show you truth
I've hid in shadows, wrestled demons
But I won't deny it because I know how to defeat them

[Bridge]
When you throw me under the bus
Back it up and run me over
If I always catch your fall
You will never hit the surface to feel it all
You gotta feel it all

[Chorus]
I don't want to know you
I don't think we should talk anymore
I want the best for you
But you're happy being miserable
I don't want to know you
Or someone who's so focused on themselves
I'll save my best for someone else
I'll save my best for someone else
(I don't want to know you, I don't want to know you)
I'll save my best for someone else
(I don't want to know you, I don't want to know you)
I don't want to know you
Or someone who's so focused on themselves
I'll save my best for someone else

The Sound of Two Voices

[Verse 1]
I must be honest
Under the surface
It grinds like a blender
The sound of two voices
My heart seems to fail me
It put me in a stranger's bed
It hurt who I love the most
I'll never trust it again

[Chorus]
That's why I don't want what I want
'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
And I won't think of my needs
'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me

[Verse 2]
Envy is endless
I used to put mistakes up on a board
Compare how mine sticks
Next to the rest of the worlds'
That got me nowhere but miles from changing
Now I've got deep stains
And bleach won't erase them

[Chorus]
That's why I don't want what I want
'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
And I won't think of my needs
'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me

[Bridge]
Call me on everything
'Cause I can't see how it looks from your perspective
Call me on everything 'cause I can't help myself
And I need your protection from me
I lose every time
I lose every time
I lose every time
You think you're inspiring
Posting slogans on a photo of the sky
You're letting sleeping dogs lie
It's not so simple as
Do what makes you happy
If that's the same thing
That will destroy me

[Chorus]
That's why I don't want what I want
'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
And I won't think of my needs
'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me
I must be honest
(For me)
Under the surface
It grinds like a blender
(I know there's never enough for me)
The sound of two voices
My heart seems to fail me
(For me)
It put me in a stranger's bed
It hurt who I love the most
(What I need, I know there's never enough for me)
I'll never trust it again

Blurred Vision

[Verse 1]
When we first me, I doubted myself
Could someone love to the level you do?
Or are you just excited for a fresh start?
Had reservations, I was dumb to assume
But it's all that I knew
It's all that I knew
Had blurred vision from all my head wounds
A victim of my own bitterness
A life I almost missed
I kick myself when I think of it

[Chorus]
I'm giving up love
I'm giving up love
You're the one, love
You're the one, love

[Verse 2]
When I think back, I still get a feeling
I'm so ashamed of all the time that it took
For me to open my eyes
You brought me back when I was lost and confused
But it's all that I knew
It's all that I knew
Had blurred vision from all my head wounds
A victim of my own stubbornness
A life I almost missed
I curse myself when I think of it

[Bridge]
There's no grass greener on the other side
I planted my roots deep
This is for life
If there comes a time where your leaves might die
I'll water them
I'll water them for you
I'll water them

[Chorus]
I'm giving up love
I'm giving up love
You're the one, love
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one, love
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, love
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one, love
I'm giving up love
I'm giving up love

Say It Don't Spray It

[Chorus]
You're speaking the loudest
But you'll fall the hardest
'Cause you know you're just flesh and blood
Like all of us
You're speaking the loudest
You'll fall the hardest
'Cause you know what you're doing
When no one's looking

[Verse 1]
State your case
Your voice proud and bold
You lost soul
Dead to your own ways
On your pedestal
Your pat yourself on your own back
You tie bricks to your legs
Who are you to make demands?
You can't even shake my hand

[Verse 2]
No one's safe
We all fall victim to our own ways
Why don't you start there?
At your age, I don't see bags yet under your eyes
You haven't reached the hardest part
Who are you to make demands?
You can't even shake my hand

[Bridge]
Who are you to make demands?
You can't even shake my hand
You're speaking the loudest
You're speaking the loudest
You're preaching the loudest
But you'll fall the hardest
'Cause you know what you're doing
When no one's looking
When no one's looking
You're speaking the loudest
But you'll fall the hardest
You're speaking the loudest
But you'll fall the hardest

Barbed Wire

[Verse 1]
We made blood boil
Turned many eyes red
They felt the earth shake the second our lips connected
We built our own house
It got rat infested
Set it on fire 'cause everything's replaceable
But you and our memories
No one can touch them

[Chorus]
Because we're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us
Yeah, we're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us

[Verse 2]
Tripped over ourselves
We slept in the gutter
We rolled around in broken glass
Self-inflicted, but we had each other
To stop the infection from spreading throughout all our veins
With you, through the hardest moments
No one can steal them

[Chorus]
Because we're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us
Yeah, we're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us

[Bridge]
Got enough in our lives
Got enough, got enough in our lives to worry about
To worry about
Been through enough in our lives
Been through enough, through enough in our lives
Don't worry about
Don't worry about everyone else
With you, through the hardest moments
No one can steal them

[Chorus]
We're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us
Yeah, we're barbed wire
Two strands twisted to one
Razor sharp
No one will ever touch us
No one will ever touch us

[Outro]
Got enough in our lives
Got enough, got enough in our lives to worry about
To worry about
No one will ever touch us

Short and Sweet

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna make it easy
Because I haven't had much time to think
And figure out clever words to sing
Accurate enough for you
I'm gonna dumb this down
'Cause it's not even about me
I'll shout it out even though they'll say they've heard this all before

[Chorus]
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
I don't deserve much of anything
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
Forgiving me and giving me as much as you do

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna take it easy
And not get to many details
Some moments better kept for you and I
But I'll keep up the pace
Not trying to overcompensate with savvy lines
It's as real as it can get
It's as real as it can get

[Chorus]
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
I don't deserve much of anything
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
Forgiving me and giving me as much as you do

[Chorus]
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
I don't deserve much of anything
I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you
Forgiving me and giving me as much as you do
As much as you do
As much as you do
As much as you do
I don't deserve much of anything

The Cheapest Thrill

[Verse 1]
I was a teenager, delusional
With such an awkward build
That's why the first time she sent me a look
I swore she was my world
A week later, got cheated on
A pay-by-hour hotel
I guess she thought that's what my future's worth
A twenty dollar bill
I damn the world, shooting fire from my eyes
But behind them I was burning
Now I'm the lie

[Chorus]
I'm the cheapest thrill
I'm the cheapest thrill
And everyone can tell that I'm the cheapest thrill
And I can barely stand myself

[Verse 2]
Clearly I was crazy
The first to give advice
Played it up like I was noble
But I was feeding my own pride
The lengths I'd go for a fix
Tacky charm got me far
Must have hurt so many feelings
While stabbing my own heart
I damn the world, shooting fire from my eyes
But behind them I was burning
Now I'm the lie

[Chorus]
I'm the cheapest thrill
I'm the cheapest thrill
And everyone can tell that I'm the cheapest thrill
And I can barely stand myself

[Bridge]
Suddenly I can see through my own eyes again
But I don't like what I'm feeling
You can't help your thoughts
But you can change your actions
If I don't I'll be consumed

[Chorus]
Now I'm the cheapest thrill
I'm the cheapest thrill
And everyone can tell that I'm the cheapest thrill
And I can barely stand myself
I know now I'm not going back
I know my own worth now
(And I can barely stand myself)
I know now I'm not going back
I know my own worth now
(And I can barely stand myself)
I know now I'm not going back
I know my own worth now
(I'm the cheapest thrill)
I'm the cheapest thrill
