The Night in Question
02:55

I'll beg for mercy if you let me
It shouldn't take too long
You've got a lot of cases to get through
I'll try to keep it moving along
And I know that the dice are loaded
If I were you then I'd be on your side
Dreaming up all the accusations I won't deny
And I know that you got your reasons
Though you try so hard to conceal em
Well whatever they are I hope that they're better than mine
Don't try to change their opinion
Once they've got the taste for blood
I like the way you point your finger
I like the way you drag my name through the mud
Every alibi a fabrication
Every sigh an admission of guilt
Every apology an invitation to a life of crime
Where were you on the night in question
Make an example send them a message
You already signed the confession on the dotted line

Valerie
04:42
|

She walked into the room
Like people tend to do when they show up
She was only twenty-two
And sick of people telling her to grow up
It just gets worse the more you wait
And you could easily find a date if you only wanted to
You're such a pretty girl
From your lavender hair down to your combat boots
She tried hard to get that feeling
That comes easy to you and I
Still she thought it might be funny
To do one selfless deed before she died
Valerie
She doesn't know how to be like every other girl
She's alone in her little world
And you can't come in
Valerie
Standing on the balcony
And if you look you could see into her mind
But you can't come in
And if you never knew nobody
Then how'd you ever know that you were lonely
She'd known someone who had
And if that's the case then what's the point in knowing
She stood there in the open
For everyone to see
Too proud to ask for anybody's help
She had this revelation
The sheer amount of work that it would take
To be like everybody else
But she didn't want them anyways
She's no damsel in distress
She just sipped her daiquiri
And wished she wasn't easily convinced
But who were you fooling anyways
You should have guessed
You should have known
It doesn't matter what they say
Some people like to be alone

Here's another ending
Static on a page
Foregone conclusions
Just the faces aren't the same
Back in the apartment
She isn't what she seems
Words got blurted out
And fell like spit into my drink
But if that's how it's got to go down
Then I'm gonna stay til you kick me out
And I know what feels good and what's not allowed
And there's plenty of heartache to go around
The part that's so confusing
It could happen like you say it should
Right down to the phrasing
Still it wouldn't do you any good
Back in the apartment
Dressed up like a stage
Unfamiliar actors saying lines to a different play
And if she didn't want me then
Why'd she climb into my bed
And I know some things you sing
You'd never say out loud
And there's plenty of heartache to go around

It Almost Worked
02:32
|
|||
Everyone looks the same in this town
You can hardly tell the difference
She stayed at home and figured out how
How to will herself out of existence
She gave it a try
She closed her eyes
She didn't know how it'd feel
She just hoped that it wouldn't hurt
It almost worked
They lie right to your face in this town
But what did you expect
She wishes that she could have seen what they saw
That left them so unimpressed
So she gave it a try
She started to cry
She said to herself "Well at least it could have been worse"
And it almost worked

The Desolation Tango
03:01

I remember when I saw her
Her skin was soft like water
I remember when I met her
She was lighter than a feather
And I remember when I kissed her
She was living with her sister
Not a single word was spoke
I guess she did it as a joke
I remember when she left me
The street was clean and empty
I remember when she called me
And whispered to me softly
I remember she was laughing
She never seemed so happy
But it could have been for show
I guess you never really know

Sleeping with the Enemy
02:14
|

Don't go sleeping with the enemy
I know we said we'd be true
I know you're stranded in the forrest if you don't
Abandoned if you do
So don't go sleeping with the enemy
If my imagination is getting ahead of me
Then let it be known that I can't make it alone
So get down and stay perfectly still
Bite down on your cyanide pill
There's things that you swore you'd never do
But you will with the enemy
Don't go sleeping with the enemy
Then everybody gets to be a hero
Can ya hear me, are you alive
Do you know that there's a war
Don't go sleeping with the enemy
Don't forget that we were comrades till the end
They only wanna make love but this is war
And the good guys always win
So don't kick while we're dragging you home
Quietly reciting your loyalty oath
Knife at your throat
Uncomfortably close to the enemy.

Why don't you go home
Everyone can tell you're in pain
All the make up you own
Couldn't hide that your eyes are enflamed
You strategically waited till the end of the night
When decisions are made and the timing's right
All this time that you wasted
While you're out here stalling
Your friends are calling your name
She kept checking her phone
The explicit text never came
Why don't you leave her alone
You know that the girl is insane
In this crowded kitchen you feel alone
Just wait til you see how it feels when you get home
Maybe you thought it'd be different
Once your defenses had fallen
But your friends are calling your name
And I saw how your eyes lit up
And you drank too fast
And you smoked too much
And now you're slurring your words
Like you were seventeen and ashamed
And wondering why you came
Your friends are calling your name

I should have known
By the way that you say nothing much at all
I should have guessed by the messages you send
But never call
But most of all
I could have seen it in the colors of your hair
They don't appear in nature
Except to warn you of the danger
And I know that you don't care
But I want you to stay
Stay the hell away from me
I could have guessed
If I'd liked you a little less
I probably could have recognized the signs
But I don't mind when your roommate barges in
And lists off every single name but mine
But that's the way it goes
You'll always be the last to know
Til someone comes and slaps you on the face
But it's okay if you're at a loss for words
Cuz I know exactly what I'd say
And despite all the silence
I heard about it anyways
Was it me or with Mike
Who stayed for the night
But only Joe made it through to the day
And that was the summer
That's just life in LA
You're either screening your calls
Or begging for someone to stay
