You and Me 04:18
There you go again You've tricked them all Send them up the river Set to fail And you watch them lose their way Watch them rue the day that they were born Well I could just about say anything And you wouldn't bat an eyelid It's time to run a muck It's time to let them know who runs the show And you take the wheel While I grab my little friend We'll shoot the back windows out Try to keep her straight While I pick them off Put your trust in me And it's only you and me Driving down the broken highway Breathing in Lana Del Rey And you watch me fall away Watch me veer off into the shade And you take the wheel While I grab my little friend We'll shoot the back windows out Try to keep her straight While I pick them off Put your trust in me And it's only you and me Well that's enough for now They're bound to figure it out Before tea time you see The boys with their toy guns The girls with their tiaras And what you're feeling is real I'm hoping you'll see That it's only you and me. Put your trust in me And it's only you and me And it's only you and me And it's only you and me

The Others 04:28
Giving it up to make room for the others How the hell were you left on your own Sounding out alarm bells for the mothers For all their children in this crazy world And you're not alone Come with me tonight We can leave this town And start it over You don't need to know Where we plan to go Just as long as you're with me And I'll show you the world Without all the hate Without all the pain you feel everyday I'm changing the way You see me today You see me today So what do you want to say to the others Where the hell were you went it went down We're holding on to dear life, my god We're boarding up the windows in this town And you're not alone Come with me tonight We can leave this town And start it over You don't need to know Where we plan to go Just as long as you're with me And I'll show you the world Without all the hate Without all the pain you feel everyday I'm changing the way You see me today You see me today And you're not alone Come with me tonight We can leave this town And start it over You don't need to know Where we plan to go Just as long as you're with me And I'll show you the world Without all the hate Without all the pain you feel everyday I'm changing the way You see me today You see me today

Family 04:38
Mother dear I think of you On your favorite chair in winter Bundled up and safe inside From what we know And now that we are older I can see what we took from you And I have tried to walk in a straight line But sometimes I veer off We are one We are family Father dear I think of you And how it must have felt to hustle Though you still remain the head of the table And now that we are older I can see what we took from you And I have tried to walk in a straight line But sometimes I veer off We are one We are family We are one We are family Sister dear I think of you A little younger, slightly older You're flanking me from either side I am stronger And now that we are older I can see what we took from you And I have tried to walk in a straight line But sometimes I veer off We are one We are family Unconditional love for family Unconditional love for family Unconditional love for family

Peeking through the back row Trying to stay out of view Just as I remembered Must have been a year or two And it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now Now it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now You wouldn't believe me even if I made you so But I was brought back to life to watch you grow And it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now Now it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now One day princess you will grow into the woman You were meant to be Until then darling, I'll remain on the outside looking in And it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now Now it's so hard to leave you Hard to leave you now

It's probably best to assume that the worst has yet to come In spite of all fantastical shenanigans I'm still numb And walking the plank in 2011 came easy to me And it snapped in two before I had even reached the end, you see And what is done is done The anchor will pull me down I'm waiting to drown In this ocean of guilt and regret What more could I ask of you when you've given me all you can When roses have wilted and laughter dries up What left do we have And what is done is done The anchor will pull me down I'm waiting to drown In this ocean of guilt and regret Yes there is love Yes there is love Yes there is unholy, unbridled love Yes there is love Yes there is love Yes there is unholy, unbridled love In the end We have ourselves to blame For something so pure And so volatile And what is done is done The anchor will pull me down I'm waiting to drown In this ocean of guilt and regret And what is done is done The anchor will pull me down I'm waiting to drown In this ocean of guilt and regret
