(F. Yanno)
Paper cuts you like a knife.
Pretty crimson drops of life
Got a Papercut on my tongue today,
Licking envelopes from the bills I paid
Sometimes things just Happen,
They happen.
Sometimes life will try to
Kick you when you’re down
Papercuts can bite and sting.
And maybe I just missed something
Saw an accident on my way to work.
What a waist of life in the mirror
Sometimes…Things just Happen,
They happen.
Sometimes…Life will try to
Kick you when you’re down
Just when you least expect it,
Someone turns around and tries to pull you down,
To the ground
Just when you thought that
It was over,
It ain’t over
It can get much worse than this
(C 2009 Gossamer Music)
(F. Yanno)
Yeah, the way things are going,
It’ll all be over soon.
It’s just a matter of time.
Hard enough to get out of bed
With the same sad thoughts inside your head
Every single day
But it will be OK
Cuz I’ve got Front Row Center Tickets to the End of the World.
Yeah, we’re going out of business,
Time for a Fire Sale.
Our lease is up and everything must go.
Locking up and its closing time
Tick, tock, tick, tock leave it all behind
Every single day
But it will be OK cuz I’ve got
Cuz I’ve got Front Row Center Tickets to the End of the World.
And if you can’t make it? It won’t be the End of the World.
I’m not going out with a whimper; I’d rather go out with a bang
We’ve had quite a time
While we wait in line
Finally we’re all friends
Witnessing The End
Cuz I’ve got Front Row Center Tickets to the End of the World.
We’ve got Backstage Passes to the End of the World
Welcome everyone… to the End of the World!

Try, baby try
To do the best that you can
Nothing seems to go
the way that you plan
Ooh, you haven’t wholly
Given in to the beat but it’s slowly
Building up till you can’t make it stop
Bash it up! Bash it up!
Smash it up baby
Never, ever, ever wanna stop!
Take, take, take!
A lot more than you give
Close that door
And now you can live
Ooh, the wheels are turning,
Louder and louder you feel it burning,
Pushing so hard that you’re gonna drop!
Bash it up! Bash it up!
Beat the drums, baby
Never, ever, ever wanna stop!
Crank it up, baby
Harder and faster to the top!

(Lyrics- F. Yanno, Music- F. Yanno, B. Rutkin)
Baby, settle down.
Let me sing these words I’ve found.
I gave you all my love to take.
So why you wanna throw it away?
That was my biggest mistake
Cuz now you got nothing to say?
Baby I don’t know what’s wrong
Cuz you don’t want to tell me.
Baby, tell me what you need
Cuz I’m listening, yeah.
Maybe it’ll all come crashing down
So be careful what you say
I’m fighting cuz the thing we have
Is something we should save.
Baby, look at me.
What don’t you want me to see?
You know the secrets that you keep
Are always bringin’ me down.
And at night when I can’t sleep,
My head keeps spinning around
Reasons are different from alibis
But what you won’t say you tell me with your eyes
Your Eyes…
Forgive or forget it, it’s not up to me
We’re falling apart at the seams
And it’s a no win situation.
(C 2009 Gossamer Music, Turn it Down! Music)
(F. Yanno)
They made me turn and walk away
Just like I didn’t care.
I heard the door lock with a click
As I left you standing there
They’ve taken everything from you
To save you from yourself
And given you a hideaway
They’ve put you on a shelf.
I’m trying hard so understand
That I’m gonna be there for you.
I’ll call you on the phone and
I’ll bring you sweet marigolds
I’ll wait until you’re whole and
Then when you’re you I’ll bring you home.
What are you doing today?
Do you know what day it is?
Things haven’t been quite the same.
It’s hard to live like this.

I'm standing here on the ground
The Sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love that I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

[Intstrumental]
(F. Yanno)
Going round and round in circles
Chasing my tail over you.
2 weeks straight and I can’t breathe
Feels like I got the wing knocked out of me
And we all fall down
Flat on our faces
Tripping over our shoe laces
Every God Damn day
And though I’ve been down
More than I care to say
Tomorrow just might be a better day
Backwards, forwards, upside down
Can’t seem to get my feet back on the ground
14 days and I can’t see
Feels like I got a piece ripped out of me.
Don’t want to talk it over
Can’t let you know I care
That All the little things that I’m missing
Every little thing, every little thing
I never seemed to notice them
Till they’re not there
(C 2009 Gossamer Music, Turn it Down! music)
(F. Yanno)
Paper, pencil, empty page.
Somehow I just can’t seem to
Find the words to say
I wanna know just how I can
Get you out of my head.
Made you leave, now I see
Just how much you meant to me
Hey, I keep living out the same day
Watching you walk away
Lonely morning, empty chair
Keep hoping I’ll wake up to
Find you sitting there.
I wanna know just how I can
Get you out of my head.
Every minute I’m awake
Don’t know how much more I can take
Living out the same day
Watching you walk away
I was standing in the rain
Watching you walk away
I wish I could convince my self
In the Dark, lying wide awake
But I keep seeing the look of disbelief
On your face
(C 2009 Gossamer Music)
(Lyrics- F. Yanno, L. Trent, Music- F. Yanno)
Gingerly you give in to me.
Smile and scream.
I know that you feel the way you feel,
Cuz of me and my sweet cruelty
Don’t you know you’re pretty when you cry?
Black mascara running from your eyes
I think you’re beautiful,
And you will never know,
How you’re so pretty when you cry.
Come to me so reluctantly.
Pretty please.
Let me taste each teardrop as it bleeds
Down your cheek
You’re so pure, hurt for me.
Black mascara running…
From your eyes
Love to taste the Sorrow …
When you cry.
(C 2009 Gossamer Music, Backwild Music)
(F. Yanno)
I think you’re beautiful,
And you will never know,
How you’re so pretty when you cry
