1. ODD ONE (ACOUSTIC)

Odd one, you're never alone
I'm here and I will reflect you
Both of us basically unattached
To anything or anyone unless we're pretending
You live your life in your head
Some call it imagination
I'd rather focus instead on anything except
What I'm feeling
What I'm feeling
Odd one...

Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day

Odd one, I wish I was you
You're never concerned with acceptance
We are all desperately seeking out,
And fitting in with anyone
Who will accept us
But not you, odd one

Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day

Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, gonna laugh at this one day

Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day

Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
Odd one...


2. SO WHAT I LIED (ACOUSTIC)

The window's cracked, I'm looking out
I see her and I'm filled with doubt
I don't know if this parking place
Is just another empty space
Words I've said aren't coming true
I don't know if it's me or you
This promise is too hard to keep
I have to speak

[Chorus]
So what I lied
But the truth would've been suicide
Monogamy is all she wants from me
But I see my life
And it's way too short
Don't blame me for not being subservient to others' needs
I'm at the point where honesty just doesn't ever work for me

I did my best to try and be
A mirror of society
But we both know the mirror's cracked
And everybody's in the act
Faking what they cannot feel
Hoping they can make it real
Reality is killing me

[Chorus]

Monogamy is all she wants from me
But I see my life
And it's way too short

Erect a life I'll never see
I'll stand back from the scenery
And laugh at all the other guys
Who never could escape in time
Stuck like flies on sticky tongues
Chewed up 'fore their life is done
I'm not here to compromise or apologize

[Chorus]

Life is too short
It's too short
It's too short


3. THE PRETENDER (ACOUSTIC)

I live with the life that I made
I get from the things that I gave
My arms are outstreached I hope for the best
And act rich before I get paid

I sold of my soul for these jeans
Wherever I go its a scene
Everyones staring as I act not caring
Attention is breathing to me

Oh I am the Pretender

My confidence pours in this glass
It helps me to hide from my past
Life of the party I know everybody
But noone gets beyond this mask

Oh I am the Pretender
Oh another Pretty Pretender
Yeah

I tell her whatever it takes
My truth is as shifting as shapes
I kiss and hug her and tell her I love her
Then laugh as I tend her heartbreak

Oh I am the Pretender
Oh I'm just a Pretender

Oh I am the Pretender
Oh I am the Pretender


4. YOU'RE GOING DOWN (ACOUSTIC) (LIVE)

Define your meaning of war
To me it’s what we do when we’re bored
I feel the heat comin’ off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I’m hyped up out of control
If it’s a fight, I’m ready to go
I wouldn’t put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know

It’s been a long time coming
And the table’s turned around
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I’m not running,
It’s a little different now
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down

Define your meaning of fun
Is it fucking, drugging or guns
I feel the heat comin’ off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let’s take a trip down memory lane
(Do you remember me?)
The words circling in my brain
(And what you did to me)
You can treat this like another all the same
But don’t cry like a bitch when you feel the pain

It’s been a long time coming
And the table’s turned around
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down
I’m not running,
It’s a little different now
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down

This is hardly worth fighting for
But it’s the little petty shit that I can’t ignore
When my fist hits your face, and your face hits the floor

It’ll be a long time coming
Bet you got the message now
‘Cause I was never going
Yeah, you’re the one that’s going down

One of us is going down
I’m not running,
It’s a little different now
‘Cause one of us is going
One of us is going down

One of us is going down
