Closer To Tears

Finally at the end of the world
Everyone's head is caught in a whirl, I guess
It's not like they said it would be
Those fuckers lied on the TV
And I don't feel like going anymore so
Could you leave the door open on your way out
No
Find me at the end of it all, darling
'Cause at least we'll have some height to fall
If ignorance is bliss
Please tell me someone's getting this
Because I've been locked up in my house
And I need to know if I'm gonna go mad at all
No
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
Hey
Why'd you do this to me?
I can't think, can barely breathe
I don't even know who I am
Sunny days, they felt like a sham
I'm barely in my own head
If you were me, you'd wish you were
Happy
Finally at the end of it all
At least I had some height to crawl
Reach for that empty grasp
There's comfort in the past
You'd hurt me anyway so I'll
Become your headline today, so watch out
No
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
Closer to tears than strangers
Nothing here can save us
No

Modern Man

I'm just a modern man
(Do it)
Does it ever get tiring to be like you?
So copy paste, brawns to max and your brain to waste
Well, his body's been a chain holding and pushing him down
So long to your khaki pants and your cheap cologne, darling
So, paint your nails and find the man
That you've been looking for
He cannot hurt you anymore
But the small ones will make you feel ashamed
They'll drag you down
Make you compensate with big trucks
Make you take that slip that Freud warned you about
I'm just a modern man
Does my sassiness upset you?
'Cause its what you let go of long ago
When you wanted to be different
Views of feminine naked bodies
And your dwindling testosterone
Wake up
I said "smell the roses"
The man inside you can't save you now
Did your mother hurt you
Since when was skirts and tears so volatile
Then he looked at me with those wide eyes
And he said
"I'm not what you think
I'm just a modern man
I'm still gonna sink
When this all goes to plan
But you watch your back
And watch your weight
'Cause change is coming around
And you won't survive
I don't adore you
I'm just a modern man
I'm not what you think
I'm just a modern man
A modern man
A modern man
A modern man
A modern man, bitches"
Yeah, I don't adore you
I'll leave that for the rest
Well, I'm your worst fear
A modern man
A modern man

Not Missing You, So Much

Does the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you hear my name?
Is there any shame there or was it just another mistake?
'Cause I don't know why I can still feel your arms around me
I sure hope you know that you won't be getting away with it
'Cause it's not over yet
And now I realize that I'm not missing you so much
If I could I would rip your heart out
Push you down the stairs and watch you bleed
'Cause you decided to betray me when you bragged to your friends in a foreign country
So why don't you pick on someone your own size, darling?
Was it cos no one wanted you, so I was some ripe fruit for the picking?
And now I realize I'm not missing you so much
I was so young so I'm not missing you so much
Anymore
I remember when you said we were equals, or some shit
You knew you were doing, yes you did
Those looks from my mom my sister and my dad, that was you
You ran away when it best suited you
You still tried to say goodbye, but I wasn't gonna give you the closure
You didn't deserve it
You still owe me this one last favor
Please don't take me with you
Please, I would do anything
This is my last thing I'll ever ask of you, just please listen
I don't want you thinking about me being that kid you fucked
It don't let me sleep at night, so get over it
But you may still be wondering how I'm keeping on
I'm still happy and I'm still healthy, and maybe it's 'cause of this
You may have fucked me up, but you didn't fuck me up good
