I Won't

I'm looking pretty good for a dead girl, what can I say
No, I'm not fishing for compliments
Baby, I just died this way
Well, I told you I wouldn't keep saying that stuff
Yeah, I know how bad I sound
It's just the stress and the season and the whole situation
And being six feet underground
And I don't want to feel better
So I won't
You should try yoga and vitamin B
And enjoying the great outdoors
Well, I'll put it on my five-year plan
If I ever get up off of the floor
Maybe one of these days I will wake and
I won't feel so hollow
But the only day worse than today is tomorrow
So I don't want to feel better
No, I don't want to feel better
No, I don't want to feel better
So I won't
But I don't want to feel like this
I don't want to feel it anymore
But I don't want to feel better
No, I don't want to feel better
No, I don't want to feel better

Mirror Song

Say
You say it's all your fault
You say it was your own direction
You say you made a mess of everything
To your own reflection
Who, now who you gonna turn to?
Yeah, who, who you gonna turn to
To pick you back up again?
Cause it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
You never wanna make nice
But it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
What are you trying to prove?
When you're lying yourself to sleep
You see it in your mind's eye
Yeah, who you're supposed to be
But that one has passed you by
Who would you be if you coulda been somebody better?
And if she wanted to go to sleep
Maybe she would let her
But it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
And it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
What are you trying to prove?
With every stranger that you see
You ask yourself, do they look happy?
Does what they do make them happy?
If I was you, would I be happy?
But it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
So make nice to your reflection
She could really use a break
What are you trying to prove?
Cause it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
And it's you and it's you and it's nobody else
When you're looking in the mirror talking to yourself
What are you trying to prove?

Sleeping In
02:55

If you start too late
It's too late to start
And it's midnight
And I'm about a thousand days behind
A thousand ways that I have not made up my mind
And I'm wasting time
Years pass before they sink in
And the curtain's down
Before the music starts to play
I thought I would be long gone by now
But I'm still sleeping in
I'm just sleeping in the grey
If you don't look down
You can stay up here forever
And if you close your eyes
You don't have to look at all
And if I hadn't climbed so far
I wouldn't have so far to fall
Years pass before they sink in
And the curtain's down
Before the music starts to play
I thought I would be long gone by now
But I'm still sleeping in
I'm just sleeping in the grey
What would it take to make me
Make this right
What would it take to get me
Back in the black and white
When I wake
If I wake
It will be morning
Unless I'm sleeping in
Still sleeping

I wanna be a monster
Go on and make me
I wanna be a monster
I wanna be a monster
Go on and make me
I wanna be a monster
I wanna be a monster
Go on and make me
I wanna be a monster
Isn't this a great love
Isn't this a nice day
Isn't this the real thing
Go on and on and on and
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Isn't this a great love
Isn't this a nice day
Isn't this the real thing
I wanna be a monster, baby
I wanna be a monster
I wanna be a monster, baby
I wanna be a monster
I wanna be a monster
I wanna be a monster, baby
I wanna be your monster
I wanna be a monster

Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time
To grow up
You've been saying it
Since you were sixteen, you've been
Saying it since you were five
Waiting for a moment when a girl like you
Would finally come to life
It's just you and the parts of you you pay for
It's just you and the parts of you you pay for
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time
Don't let it take you out of your mind
Don't you think it's time
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you
A girl like you has got to know better
A girl like you has got to know better
A girl like you has got to know better
A girl like you has got to know better
A girl like you has got to know better
Girl like you
Girl like you
Girl like you
Girl like you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't you think it's time
You put her aside

Stay Down

I hope you were listening
I hope you got it all down
I hope you cut your losses
It's not the first time we've been over this
Ah haha haha, ah haha ha
Ah haha haha, ah haha ha
Ah haha haha, ahh
Not like what you were told
Not like what you were picturing
Not like what you thought you earned
Oh, but you'll still get your money's worth
Nobody will answer for
What we did with what we had
When we knew that nobody would know
Now the future's for fools
The pictures are moving
And the dead don't stay down
Oh
Maybe you won't make sense of it
Maybe you won't make it out alive
Maybe you would've made a better choice
Maybe you still won't
Ah haha haha, ah haha ha
Ah haha haha, ah haha ha
But it goes on (ah haha haha, ah haha ha)
So go on and let it out (ah haha haha, ah haha ha)
Yeah the future's for fools
The pictures are moving
And the dead don't stay down
The dead don't stay down
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out alive)
The dead don't stay down (maybe you'll make it out, make it out)
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha, ah ha haha haha
