No, Oh-oh oh Is it true What they say of you? There's not anymore that I can do All the reasons that you gave, I'd follow you To when you'd lead and if that'd be the end of time, it's true Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong Wouldn't be the last, I'm sure I'd known Through all the rumors, I could tell Some things didn't work so well Well, anyway, it feels the same As when you first told me you were gone So long ago, but I still held on Through all the motions, the love and the sex And that's the truth, and here's the worst yet Wouldn't even matter, the things that I say You've made your mind up and gone, anyway And there's no use now in dragging it on Should've seen it coming all along Well, it's true Oh, I had my doubts of you Gonna call the president Gonna call myself a private eye Gonna need the I.R.S. Gonna get the F.B.I. Gonna make this a federal case Gonna wave it right down in your face Read it, baby, with your morning news With a sweet hangover and the headlines, too, now Ah-oh, Ah-oh I bet you think I'm doing this all for my health I should've looked again, dated somebody else Feeling like I've done way more than wrong Feeling like I'm living inside of this song Feeling like I'm just too tired to care Feeling like I've done more than my share Couldn't be the way that I've carried on Like a broken record for so long And I do Yeah Gonna call the president Gonna call a private eye Gonna get the I.R.S. Gonna need myself the F.B.I. Ooh, what shall I do If I gave my heart to you? It's such a crime You know it's true Gonna call the president Gonna get myself a private eye Ooh, gonna need the I.R.S. Gonna get the F.B.I. Gonna make it a federal case Gonna wave it right down in your face Read it, baby, with your morning news With your sweet hangover and the headlines, too, now There's not any more that I can do

I know the shape you're in It's a crown of thorns It never seems to break the skin There's no blood, there's no scars It's just your broken fall You used to be so sweet You walked with a smile The Ashtray's full and the coffee's cold And the things you say Make you look so old You've got nothing good to say Keep your mouth shut Nothing good to do Keep it to yourself Nothing's ever good enough for you Sick of everything that you say as you're goin' down Sorry for everything Sick of everything that you do as you're going down Look like a fool And I never meant to hurt no one Just happened to be there next to you As you were going down I know this dark place I've heard these words I've heard them from familiar tongues I've heard them yelled I've even heard them sung Get into your car and drive Just as fast as you can You had your 15 minutes You tried to take an hour Now no one hears your call You've got nothing good to say Keep your mouth shut Nothing good to do Keep it to yourself Nothing's ever good enough for you I'm sick of everything that you say as you're goin' down Sorry for everything Sick of everything that you do as you're going down You look like a fool And I never meant to hurt no one Just happened to be there next to you As you were going down Going down As you were going down Going down Sick of everything that you say as you're goin' down Sorry for everything Sick of everything that you do as you're going down Look like a fool And I never meant to hurt no one Just happened to be there next to you As you were going down Goin' down As you were going down Goin' down As you were going down

When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the old folks say But every time I'd see them Makes me wish I had a gun If I thought that I was crazy Well I guess I'd have more fun Guess I'd have more fun Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again Ooh, ooh-ooh Won't let you get away from him It's just Another day like today You decide Cause I don't have to And then they'll find And I won't ask you At anytime Or long hereafter If the cold outside's As I'm imagining It to be Oh no Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again Ooh, ooh-ooh Won't let you get away from him It's just Another day like today When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the young folks say As if they'd ever change As that were mine to say But every time I'd see them Makes me wish I had a gun If I thought that I was crazy Well, I guess I'd have more fun 'Cause what used to be's not there for me And ought to for someone that belonged Insane Like I do Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na On an ordinary day Not in an ordinary way All at once, the song I heard No longer would it play For anybody Or anyone That needed comfort from somebody Needed comfort from someone Who cared To be Not like you And unlike me And then the voices went away from me Somebody set the wheels in motion That haunt our memories You were the instrument You were the one How a body Took a body You gave that boy a gun Took our innocence Beyond our stares Sometimes the only thing we counted on When no one else was there Ah-oh

If the world would end today And all the dreams we had would all just drift away, ooh You know, there's nothing more to say Well, if the world would end and our love slipped away I never knew the way that you looked at me Would ever mean so much to me But in my heart, I found the feelings that I've never shown And now you've got the best of me If the world would end today And all the dreams we had would all just drift away, ooh You know, there's nothing more to say Well, if the world would end and our love slipped away Ooh, la, la-da-da La-da, la-da, la-da-da (Ooh, la-da) La, la-da-da La-da, la-da, la-da-da I never thought all the love I was looking for Could ever be so close to me But you're the only one I have ever loved that has ever loved me And now you've got the best of me If the world would end today And all the dreams we had would all just drift away, ooh You know, there's nothing more to say If the world would end today And all the dreams we had would all just drift away, ooh You know, there's nothing more to say If the world would end and our love slipped away

What if I was a little bit thinner? What if I had a little more patience? What if my urge to talk was a little bit smaller? What if I did my hair like that Bruce Willis guy? That’s the question, what would happen? It's not that easy, my heart won’t tease me 'cause you ripped it out And I shout it out loud Love and hate - quite close! (Hate and love quite close) Yes, this is personal I’m never out of control But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh I overthink things lately My mind is never lazy But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh What if you liked the music I prefer? What if you didn’t hate my parents and my friends? We together Not that clever And we apart It broke my heart 'cause you ripped it out And I shout it out loud Love and hate - quite close! (Hate and love quite close) Yes, this is personal I’m never out of control But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh I overthink things lately My mind is never lazy But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh One of us has to leave now And that's not me, I’m quite sure But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh This is the end of story 'cause I won't lose my glory But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh Yes, this is personal I’m never out of control But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh I overthink things lately My mind is never lazy But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh One of us has to leave now And that's not me, I’m quite sure But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh This is the end of story 'cause I won't lose my glory But you are, but you are Wo-oh-oh, Wo-oh-oh

All cautions made Every chance was given No effort spared To save what we had All in good faith I would not hesitate To extend myself And lend you my hand But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway As tempers fade And lies forgiven No cause embraced Could break what we had In its place A storm is lifting I would've thought you could be more of a man But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway Had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway

Oh, why should I try and judge the things they say They just won’t budge I’m letting go Oh, and a shelter for the blind Still you managed to be kind But not enough to show me how to keep it together When I’m crying out in vain No matter who’s to blame There still are ways to go So if you ask me to believe your heart won’t follow you It’s got a mind of its own When it goes wrong and the road gets rough And you’re the one Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough, oh-oh I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart" But There’s more to what it takes to be a man Than what you know It's what you’ve shown And that we know you understand Oh, another thing, if I were you I would say all that I do To be half as strong, or still belong Oh, maybe you should take the time To look back at what you'd find: Your own misadventures When it goes wrong and the road gets rough And you’re the one Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough, oh-oh I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart" But there’s more to what it takes to be a man Than what you know It's what you’ve shown And that we know you understand (Ooh-ooh) Thought I'd never say, "Don’t follow your heart" If I thought that's what it takes to make a man From what you've known All that you’ve been shown Jesus, how I hoped you'd understand, yeah I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart" But there’s more to what it takes to be a man Than what you know It's what you’ve shown And that we know you understand (Ooh-ooh) Thought I'd never say, "Don’t follow your heart" If I thought that's what it takes to make a man From what you've known All that you’ve been shown Jesus, how I hoped you'd understand

about

This is a collection of songs will be working on / finishing over the course of 2020. None of these songs are meant to be final, but I would like to share my progress as of February 2020.

Some notes:
-) Tracks 3, 4, 5, 7 & 8 were previously released for "In Addition to Democracy", and will (at least partially) also appear with different mixes, arrangements, etc. on the album upon its final release, as I'm not satisfied with their current state.
-) "What If (INTERGANG Demo)" is my own take of one of the numerous demo tracks of the band I'm currently in
-) R3FDM0_C11AB20 is the only song available as a hi-res download (24bit / 192kHz), if downloaded as FLAC, WAV, AIFF or ALAC

Catalog Number: ATVPCv2.0.1
