V1
It’s a Friday night, I look for happiness
All my friends are here, they wanna shake their hips
All the little boys watch cuz they can’t resist
Don’t know how to move so they go
Oh Oh Oh Oh Ooooooh.
Pre
I can’t wait til the weekend,
I’ve been stuck inside my own head
Will your friend have that good stuff again
I wanna do something that I’ll regret
Whoa Oh oh oh
Chorus
I shouldn’t try to stop myself from what I wanna do to let my hair hang down
And I wouldn't mind if, you were around, to share in the fun as we go out
Whoa oh oh oh
V2
I can blow your mind if you give me time
I just wanna dance, I’m feeling fine
All the little boys hide cuz they’re acting shy
Don’t know how to move so they go
Oh Oh Oh Oh Ooooooh
Pre Chorus
I can’t wait til the weekend,
I’ve been stuck inside my own head
Will your friend have that good stuff again
I wanna do something that I’ll regret

Modern Love

|||
|
V1
I’d rent the space, at the foot of your bed.
Show up on your doorstep, suitcase in my hand.
Will you save me, from my bad dreams.
Will you still love me, so tenderly.
Chorus
Modern Love, to expect, so much more.
Modern Hope to deceive and destroy.
Modern love to expect so much more.
Modern love to destroy.
V2
We go to together, like whiskey and coke.
I’ll make you breakfast, wearing nothing but fur.
I’ll be the candy, that cures your sweet tooth.
Can’t fight my craving, to taste all of you.
Chorus
Modern Love, to expect, so much more.
Modern Hope to deceive and destroy.
Modern love to expect so much more.
Modern love to destroy.

Drive

|
V1
Were looking outward trying to decipher, the code
The past repeats, echoes of what once was and will be.
We both are guilty of editing what could harm the world
The night won’t surrender to darkness or lose the hope
Chorus
But the dawn, will rise, unannounced, we climb,
we won’t meet, crossing paths eternally
V2
Spring, will force new life
Growing the ash to spite
Symmetry, a balancing game we play
Chorus
But the dawn, will rise, unannounced, we climb,
we won’t meet, crossing paths eternally
Bridge / break down / solos
Chorus
We won’t meet, crossing paths eternally
Outro (V3)
The past repeats, echoes of what once was and will be

Burdens

|
V1
Your burdens were my burdens once
it's so hard to be cool
I'm sorry I betrayed your trust,
knew I would, it's too hard, to be good.
Pre-Chorus 1
I need someone in my life to take advantage
Of my kindness I don't mind, you can have it
Chorus
Bleed me dry
Bleed me dry
V2
Let's just take it all in stride, take our time
Do you prefer that I lie?
I think I fooled myself into loving you
It's hard, losing you.
PC2
When you fight against yourself there is no winner
Tackle all of my problems with different issues
Nothing ever gets resolved and I'll wonder,
what the hell my arms once did before they held you.
Chorus
Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry
Bridge
Feel me in your veins, when we're apart
Love bends the heart, and blinds the soul
Every plan I make is an escape
caged by circumstance, I lose control
Get me out of here I'm feeling trapped
Verse 3
Your burdens were my burdens once, it's so hard to be cool
PC3
I need someone in my life to take advantage
Of my kindness I don't mind, you can have it
Chorus
Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry, Bleed me dry

V1
I’ve been around the world and I’ve, seen it all
only in my dreams I could, never fall
I’d give anything to prove em’ wrong, only in my dreams, I could fool you all
PC
It’s hard to be patient with me, yeah it’s hard to see things so clearly
Chorus
Easy as it comes, it’s goes
The harder I work the more my luck grows
Comes and goes, the harder I work the more my luck grows
V2
I’m feeling more alone with each new mistake
Retracing every stupid thing I didn’t say
I can’t separate what I want and deserve
I’m a perfect stranger, with myself
PC
It’s hard to be patient with me, yeah it’s hard to see things so clearly
Chorus
Easy as it comes, it’s goes
The harder I work the more my luck grows
Comes and goes, the harder I work the more my luck grows
Bridge
You’ll go your own way, I’ll go my own way
And if we should stray I’ll find you one day
PC
It’s hard to be patient with me, yeah it’s hard to see things so clearly
Chorus
Easy as it comes, it’s goes
The harder I work the more my luck grows
Comes and goes, the harder I work the more my luck grows

V1
I always thought I’d be a pilot
I always thought I’d marry rich
I never knew I’d move to New York
I always wanted a life like this

I’m just waiting here, hoping things can stay simple.
Chorus
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
V2
Some of my friends are touring Europe
Some of my friends are selling records
All of my friends are yelling at me
Reminding me that I should be happy
Pre Chorus
I’m just, sitting here, pouring milk over stale cereal
I’m just waiting here, hoping things can stay simple.
Chorus
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
Bridge
I wanna cast myself as someone so much better than the victim or another villain
It’s easier to feel tiny when you are so zoomed out, I can’t help feeling small
V3
Some of my friends are at the protest
Some of my friends are scared at home
I never thought I’d feel unequal,
I always hoped we conquer evil
Chorus x3
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
It never get easier
It never gets easier for me
It never get easier
I’m just, sitting here, pouring milk over stale cereal
It never get easier
I’m just waiting here, hoping things can stay simple.

V1
Got my back against the wall, strapped in
I can’t fight, another wrong to make it right
V2
See the men, they’re up in arms
They take aim, do more harm, another right to make it wrong
You ask me what I want, don’t be cruel
PC
Haunt willingly, pass up eternity
Seek your, revenge, let’s pretend
V3
I am the master of my fate
caption of my soul
another lie to take control
You ask me what I want
BREAKDOWN // BRIDGE
Give me the shot
Give me the chair
Give me the chair
Total despair
Trapped by fines, Unfair for my crimes, Oooooh
V4 // Ourtro
I got my back against the wall, I can’t breathe
I might fall, fall
You ask me what I want

Eyes Crying

|

|
V1
Eyes crying in my sleep I am older now
And all I seem to think and dream about are how
The city misses us when not around
Quit thinking in the ways that only bring us down
Pre Chorus
But you are far away from, and I can hardly stand this feeling
Chorus
I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
V2
Sending all my fear and shame back to bed
Pretending everything is make believe instead
Pre Chorus
But you are far away from me, and I can hardly stand this feeling
Chorus
That I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
Bridge
Won’t you call out my name
I can try to understand
That it’s not the same
But you are far away from me, and I can hardly stand this feeling
You are far away from me, and I can hardly stand this feeling
Chorus
That I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
I’m feeling, the sunlight rises over me
the sun rises over me
the sun rises over me

Giving Up
04:39
|
|||
|
V1
I’m giving up on myself, I want to be someone else,
Please don’t mind, the mess that I’ve made
Why do I stand in the way, of what I want,
It’s a shame to deceive my best interests.
Chorus
My broken body is nothing, to my broken mind fleeting
Art’s the only way to run without leaving
V2
I’ve grown so sick of this phrase, quarantine me and count down the days,
Til I’m ready, to finally grow up
It hurts when I stand up straight, I keep making the same damn mistakes,
I yearn for, a new lie to love.
Chorus
My broken body is nothing, to my broken mind fleeting
Art’s the only way to run without leaving
My broken body with-standing, the weight of my attack, sinking
Art’s the only way to run without leaving
Bridge
I’d give anything to choose
Slash and burn for new
I’m tired of, myself
Chorus
My broken body is nothing, to my broken mind fleeting
Art’s the only way to run without leaving
My broken body with-standing, the weight of my attack, sinking
Art’s the only way to run without leaving
My broken body is nothing, to my broken mind fleeting
Art’s the only way to run without leaving

Weight down, yeah, six months of stairs underground
Wasting time, just let me speak my mind

When’s it gonna hit, when’s it gonna hit?
Pre Chorus
Whoa oh oh
Chorus
I’m just fine
I’m all right
I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine

Album 4: still powerful, hard-charging songs with biting lyrics that bludgeon you into realizing that gender inequality sadly persists. I like the polish on this record, I hear more time changes in the song structures pointed out by the meaty guitar riffs. Shawna should be the spokeswoman on the state of the nation. This band has a message. Pay Attention!
