So Close

CHORUS
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
VERSE
never said you owed me anything
a little decency would be so nice
don’t let them tell you you’ve never meant anything to me
but sticking around just doesn't seem right
I landed greener than some
half full of ambition, and twice as dumb
watched you grow as I grew up in your arms
like ‘em all mesmerized by your charms
CHORUS
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
VERSE
set out to live your own life
be your own biggest fan
turned out all those punch drunk dreams
were just menageries made of sand
washed away where we’ve come from
easy marks, they’re twice as dumb
what’s so hard to comprehend
everything that’s new is another end
BRIDGE
it just so happens
I’m a peaceful man today
but there’s gonna come a point
at some point I just can’t stay
CHORUS
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts
so close, it hurts

SOS

VERSE
Help me I’ve fallen, and not coming back
Like the first night of sleep in weeks for an insomniac
Maybe it’s good- no, I know it’s great
I’ve taken my time I know, I hope that it’s not too late
CHORUS
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
VERSE
Give it to me straight- am I coming in clear?
These words I say I wanna make sure you can hear
Cause I think they’re good, I hope they’re great
I’ve taken my time, for sure I swear it’ll be worth the wait
CHORUS
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me
Do you know what I say when you say you saved me

The Monarch

VERSE
Don’t wanna forget about it
Rather stay and fight about it
Bottle up and sell my name
Scream it till it hurts
Hell, scream until I hurl
Never ever gonna be the same
Give me a break
CHORUS
None of us are born gods
None of us know a single thing
The emperor’s without clothes
What will it take to make you see?
VERSE
Cover up the bodies
Right in front of everybody
Got bright lights in my face
Hang onto my words
Chop ‘em up and be the first to be like
“Damn, this sounds so lame.”
Just give me a break
CHORUS
None of us are born gods
None of us know a single thing
The emperor’s without clothes
What will it take to make you see?
VERSE
Feels like I’m doing this for something
Can’t be doing this for nothing
What else can I say?
Wrap it up I’m leaving town
Rack ‘em up, I’ll knock ‘em down
What I leave give away
I need a break
CHORUS
None of us are born gods
None of us know a single thing
The emperor’s without clothes
What will it take to make you see?
