Good to Know That If I Ever Need Attention lyrics

Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen? It's ink that lies, the pen, the page, the paper. I live. I learn. You will always take what I have earned. And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning. Our friends speak out in our defense. I pay ten deaf ears for two months rent. We burn the gallows they erect, and cut the nooses they tie for our necks. You constantly make it impossible to make conversation. Keep us in comatose but audible. And I like it the farther I get out. We pass it off but it's all on us. Only common conversation, it took everything I got. And I like it the farther I get out. Once said always said. I will hold the past over your head. I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted. I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge. Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you. We slipped concealed back to the keep. Conced to do the work for free. We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep.

"Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die"

Our friends speak out in our defense.
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent.
We burn their gallows they erect,
and cut the nooses they tie for our necks.

[Chorus:]
You constantly make it impossible to make conversation.
Keep us comatose but audible.
And I like it the farther I get out.
We pass it off but it's all on us.
Only common conversation,
it took everything I got.
And I like it the farther I get out.

Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head.
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted.
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge.
Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.

I slip concealed back to the keep.
Concede to do the work for free.
We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep.

[Chorus x3]

Punk Lyrics | B | BRAND NEW

Well I talk, Too much To myself And I turn my back on

Wait, watched you throw out your bouquet Now I think about

It's getting hard to stay up I think I can hear

My head is lit, I don't ever want to go to

Trees will make a forest Trees will make a bow These are

So the air’s getting colder, and the news keeps us

You get the car I’ll get the night Off You’ll

With blood and feathers On my torn paws You ain't

[Recording:] And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand old

Goodbye to sleep, I think this staying up is exactly what

Watch you, on the one's and two's. Through a window in

We were doomed from the start, as lovers are. Why am I

We take it easy, tigers in a cage, We're pacing on

So he tried to put the fire out But you used

Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this

Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen?
It's ink that lies,
the pen, the page, the paper.
I live, I learn.
You will always take what I have earned.
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning.

Our friends speak out in our defense.
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent.
We burn their gallows they erect,
and cut the nooses they tie for our necks.

[Chorus:]
You constantly make it impossible to make conversation.
Keep us comatose but audible.
And I like it the farther I get out.
We pass it off but it's all on us.
Only common conversation,
it took everything I got.
And I like it the farther I get out.

Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head.
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted.
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge.
Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.

We slip concealed back to the keep.
Concede to do the work for free.
We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep.

[Chorus x3]
