Playlist Neck Deep

neck deep - a part of me

I?ll paint you a picture with words,
?I miss her.?
We still talk like everyday
But we don?t talk in the same way that we used to
I?ll move on and forget you
We could never see eye to eye
But either way.

I like her ?cause she?s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don?t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I?ll never forget her
And she?ll always have a part of me.

Don?t let me go down this road again
We both know where this ends
In a storm of feeling, I?m so unappealing
I can?t play these games

I like her ?cause she?s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don?t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I?ll never forget her
And she?ll always have a part of me.

I like her ?cause she?s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don?t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I?ll never forget her
And she?ll always have a part of me.

She'll always have a part of me.

I was falling for a girl who would ask me to come over
Just for a day, when her parents were away,
Now all I can do is lay in my room,
Fall asleep, dream of you,
Then wake up and do nothing about it

I fell for a boy who could never ever let me walk home that way,
?Cause you gotta be safe,
So hold back your views,
We?re both leaving soon,
I can?t fall back on you,
?Cause that?s not what I do.

She hates it when I shout these words,
But I?ll still sing for you.

neck deep - all hype no heart

All hype, no heart
Brain dead as fuck without a clue,
You just follow those around you,
I got no respect for the way you dress; you just do this for effect.
I?ve never changed,
We might look the same but you?re everything I hate,
You have no idea just how I got here,
And no matter what you do you?re just a fake.

You?ll never understand just what this is,
Or what this is about,
You?ll never fit in with me or my friends,
So go fuck yourself.

neck deep - blank pages

Blank pages keep me awake,
But these nights are too long to shake off
My nerve to easy to break,
A brave face is too hard to fake
Stressed out and I'm losing the will,
I'm too hot but I'm feeling the chill of defeat
This happens every time,
Push the boundaries 'til I tow the line

I'll find my feet,
Save my skin and hopefully
Crush the doubt in my head
To work this out in the end
I've been crossing out the lines
And I've been wasting all my time
Questioning myself again
With ink that's trapped inside this pen

Ignore and push to the side,
Plays on in the back of my mind
The right words are too hard to find,
Keep cool and wait for a sign
No good, just good for nothing
This path must lead to something
Worth the doubt, the stress, the effort
I always knew I could never cut the pressure

Thinking back to the days when nobody knew my name
It was so easy to escape
My careless mind was a safer place

Always asking why can't bring myself to even try
Holding out till the end
Fake a smile and pretend
Oh, but there's still time to get these wounds to open wide
Spill my guts on this page,
Breaking out of this cage

neck deep - can 039 t kick up the roots

The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is
It can be grim and send you West from time to time
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck
But this shipwreck, it is mine

Day by day we grew to love this place
And where I make my grave, my anchor lays
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
I've seen a punch or two
Narrowly escaped a few
And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view
I remember the football games
The first time that I got laid
And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake
Day by day we grew to love this place
And where I make my grave is where my anchor lays
The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets
I guess I can't kick up the roots
It's home, and that's the truth
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
We know what it's like to be put down
So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy
We know what it's like to be put down
So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay (to decay)
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
I'm not stuck I'm staying (I'm not stuck I'm staying)
Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying (I'm not stuck I'm staying)
And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound
You will always have a place in my town called revelry

neck deep - candour

Yesterday saw you missing
Drawn to the light in the distance
Holding her hand while she listened
She told him how much she would miss him
Said his goodbyes to his children
And let the weight fade away

I have your hands
But I have my mother's eyes
Your tact and poise
And her sense of wrong and right
Heard you awake in the middle of the night
Letting go of the things you keep inside

Worked your fingers to the bone
To be sent home with a cardboard box
Filled with everything you've known
All things come to be loved and lost

I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame
A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
They always say it's clear to see
How parts of you shine through in me
I think you know, you won't be here forever
And you're counting down the days
'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away

The lessons learned at your side
Will stay with me all my life
The man I hope to become, I know is deep down inside
I know, you don't even need to say
I know you're proud in your own way
I know you're proud in your own way

And you watched me grow up
As I watched you grow older
The chip off your block, held me up on your shoulders
I wish I told you yesterday

neck deep - citizens of earth

This is the age of descent
The fresh faced generation of defect
It's gotta come down before we reach for the reset
This is for the lost, downtrodden and rejects
And anybody looking for a purpose
We all kick our way through streets of grey
Some find hope in a TV screen
But nobody has an answer for anything
And no one can seem to agree

And then the 8 Ball said ?things don't look great?
You know we can't break loose if we stay in place
Every earthquake starts with a little shake
And then we'll see who is standing in the wasteland

It's just a matter of opinion when it comes down to it
To tell the truth I never listen, just grit my teeth and split
It's just a matter of opinion when it comes down to it
But no one ever fucking listens
Yeah no one ever fucking listens
So you can take your damn opinion and fucking suck it

And then the 8 Ball said ?things don't look great?
You know we can't break loose if we stay in place
Every earthquake starts with a little shake
And then we'll see who is standing in the wasteland

And then the 8 Ball said ?things don't look great?
You know we can't break loose if we stay in place
Every earthquake starts with a little shake
And then we'll see who is standing in the wasteland

And then the 8 Ball said ?things don't look great?
You know we can't break loose if we stay in place
Every earthquake starts with a little shake
And then we'll see who is standing in the wasteland

neck deep - crushing grief

She's dressed in blue and black again,
Sometimes red or yellow dress,
She can't seem to make up her mind,
A shed of light is hard to find.
She was too cool for me to catch,
Or was I too slow and second best?
I always knew this day would come,
I've got some things to get off my chest

This whole thing's open to conversation,
But I'm not holding my breath about it.
I'm sick and tired of all your bullshit
When all it is who can scream the loudest.
And it's funny how the time it flies
And the people how they change,
You know it's funny how you changed...

Crushing grief
There is no remedy,
The mess you made of me,
Sleep with the enemy and
I'll miss that old routine we had:
Get high, have sex, get high again,
I know you wanted more from me,
It's something I could never be

This whole thing's open to conversation,
But I'm not holding my breath about it.
I'm sick and tired of all your bullshit
When all it is who can scream the loudest.
And it's funny how the time it flies
And the people how they change,
You know it's funny how you changed...
[x2]

(I don't need you,
Keep your distance.
I don't need you,
Things have changed)

Crushing grief
There is no remedy
The mess you made of me,
The worst I'll ever be.

I started looking past the point
That you were always best for me,
I've fought my way through all of this,
I've learned and loved and fell apart
I came through unscathed,
Albeit betrayed,
But fuck playing safe,
I won't let you get the best of me

neck deep - december

Stumbled round the block a thousand times,
Missed every call that I had tried, so now I'm giving up.
A heartbreak in mid December,
You don't give a fuck,
You'd never remember me while you're pulling on his jeans,
Getting lost in the big city.
I was looking out our window.
Watching all the cars go,
Wondering if I'll see Chicago,
Or a sunset on the west coast.
Or will I die in the cold?
Feeling blue and alone.
I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo.
I hope you get your ballroom floor,
Your perfect house with rose red doors.
I'm the last thing you'd remember,
It's been a long, lonely December.
I wish I'd known that less is more,
But I was passed out on the floor,
And that's the last thing I remember,
It's been a long, lonely December.
Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light,
I came out breathing, barely breathing, and you came out alright.
But I'm sure you'll take his hand,
I hope he's better than I ever could've been.
My mistakes were not intentions,
This is a list of my confessions I couldn't say.
Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me.
I miss your face,
You're in my head,
There's so many things that I should've said.
A year of suffering, a lesson learned.
I miss you, but I wish you well,
I miss you, but I wish you well,
I miss you, yeah I miss you.

neck deep - gold steps

I've been stuck in the middle pages,
Hung up on a cross that I created,
Built out of the bones that I've been breaking.
The sign you said you needed,
Is there but you can't see it.
You might be down and out but you're still breathing.

If you write the story, then you'll find out we're all stuck on the same page.

Sometimes things will bend you,
But trust me you'll be fine,
I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.
And life's not out to get you,
Despite the things you've been through,
Because what you give is what you get,
And it doesn't make sense to make do.

The walls are caving in again,
Happens every now and then,
Always got me feeling like I'm fucked.
Falling in and out of bed,
Sleep so I feel like I'm dead,
Trying to get a grip is kinda rough.

You say life has lost it's meaning,
And that's true if you believe it,
But someday you will stand above your demons,
You're not beneath this.

If you write the story, then you'll find out we're all stuck on the same page.

Sometimes things will bend you,
But trust me you'll be fine,
I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.
And life's not out to get you,
Despite the things you've been through,
Because what you give is what you get,
And it doesn't make sense to make do.

So pick yourself up,
You can't change what's been,
You must go on and learn while you live.
And when you see the signs saying hope is up ahead,
Then you're right on track for a better end.

Sometimes things will bend you,
But trust me you'll be fine,
I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.
And life's not out to get you,
Despite the things you've been through,
Because what you give is what you get,
Yeah, life's not out to get you
Yeah, life's not out to get you.

neck deep - growing pains

I'll say goodnight
In the morning I will wake up to a blinding light
And curse all my mistakes
And say I'm not what you think
I'll break all the links
I'll ignore all the exit signs

Cause you've had your own mountains to climb
And I've got skeletons I hide,
In the back of my mind where I question myself
I dwell on the past just like everyone else

Don't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders
It's not too heavy
I'll break my back so you can feel like someone's on your side

Forget the past and all the heartache
The growing pains that keep you awake
I'll sing you to sleep
With songs that let you know that we'll be okay
Round and round and round this goes
Playing on your stereos
When I'm away and you can't sleep
Just know that it's the same for me

And every time I see you I remember why I made you mine
That day in mid-December
Still so young and naïve with our hearts on our sleeves
But I know we'll be alright

They don't know what we share in the briefest of moments
I'm head over heels for the smallest components
That light in your eye or that look on your face
Secure in the fact that we both know our place

No one like you girl
No one in the world
The perfect touch to the picture I had in my head
No one like you girl
Nowhere in the world
That I would rather be

neck deep - i couldn 039 t wait to leave 6 months ago

From up here this town don?t look so bad,
I?m looking down at this place I hate and at least for a second it seems okay,
But I?m not getting over it,
Getting used to it,
It?s been so long since everything seemed to fit ,
And it?s not a case of being scared or undeserving,
I?m just questioning the purpose of leaving what I thought was pulling me down.

But I?ll bite my tongue and grit my teeth.

I?ll leave my heart where I leave my home,
I never thought that I?d be on my own,
I never knew that I had this in me,
I kinda think it came all too quickly.

But I know that growing up?s a part of growing up,
So I guess I?ll just face the facts and throw my bags up on this broken back.
I?ll learn from my mistakes and find a place where I can breathe.
Somewhere that I can breathe.

I?ll miss the smell of the rain on my road,
The dirty streets of the town I call home,
My friends that kept me from feeling alone,
And the broken promises you made that forced me to grow.
And I?ll miss the paths I?ve walked a thousand times,
The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned from the nights
That I spent with my friends in this town I resent,
All ?cause this is the last of time that I?ll spend around here.

neck deep - i hope this comes back to haunt you

I sat inside with a heavy heart
Just wish you would think of me
Are you listening?
Ran round in circles 'til after dark
Didn't get very far
Wasn't meant to be
I never thought it would be this hard
It feels like you walked through me
I hope this comes back to haunt you
I hope this comes back to haunt you

Then maybe you would know just how it felt to be like me at my lowest
As you let me out the door, you tore me open
My final words were left unspoken

Told myself that this would be the last time you kept me awake
Some day you'll see, then it's too little too late
I wasn't good enough for you, and then you just stopped trying
What can I say?

I hope this comes back to haunt you
I hope this comes back to haunt you
I hope this comes back to haunt you

Told myself that this would be the last time you kept me awake
Some day you'll see, then you'll be stuck in this place
I wasn't good enough for you, and then you just stopped trying
What can I say?

And everyday that's passing is surely mine to seize
Did every wave that crashed in leave you washed up at her feet?

Wake up, the world seems bright out today
Life goes on, and things they change
Hands up if you've been left bruised and broken
Say "I'll be ok, I'll be ok"
Wake up, the world seems bright out today
Life goes on, and things they change
Hands up if you've been left bruised and broken
Say "I'll be ok, I'll be ok"
Wake up, the world seems bright out today
Life goes on, and things they change
Hands up if you've been left bruised and broken
Say "I'll be ok, I'll be ok"

neck deep - kali ma

Sit still in the cold of February
Hold my hand in the cemetery and you'll be safe
And I know that this is only temporary
And I don't think that it's helping anything

And it's all fun and games until someone gets fucked up
This will end in tears I could never be enough for you
Count my blessings on one hand and my curses on the other
I let you slip between my fingers
(Hide away until the summer)

Kali Ma lean over me
Rip your hand into my chest
Pull out my beating heart for the world to see
Then send me down to hell
You ignore my plea's
Indiana couldn't save me so I guess I'll save myself

We hop from bench to bench in the middle of our town
Where the street lights hit your eyes and then the tears came falling down
The love that you confessed, the product of your loneliness
I see right through you but what do I do?

Of course I fall for it
Just like I did when I was sixteen
Such a fool for you
Did you ever even miss me? (Doubt it)

Kali Ma lean over me
Rip your hand into my chest
Pull out my beating heart for the world to see
Oh won't you go to hell? (Go to hell)

(You're gonna get killed chasing after your damn fortune and glory)
Maybe I, maybe I will (but not today!)

neck deep - kick it

This hole is getting deeper by the day,
Digging for the words to say,
So I can put things in perspective.
Somewhere along the line I lost my way,
Everything gets torn and frayed,
You can put me in my place but I?ll never know where I stand.

I?ll never know where I stand.

And in the end we?re all just learning curves,
And trampled nerves with a purpose to serve,
But you?ll never get what I meant when I said,
?You were mine to adore, I was yours to regret?.

neck deep - lime st

It's been a few days since I saw you last,
And there's a few things that I have to ask.
So, the first is: do I hold you back?
And, did I fuck up too many times?
Found the bad I know you'd find.
Just need some time and space,
We've fallen out of place,
But I pray to god we don't lose connection.
Just need to see you smile,
Or maybe stay a while,
Before we lose all sense of direction.

Is it too late to say, too late to say,
That I'm sorry for things I do?
I'm missing you like shit today.
And as the world spins on its axis,
Seems like it's brought me back here,
To say ?oh god, not this again?.

I haven't seen you smile this whole time,
It bums me out and makes me wonder why I can't do right.
And I'm trying my best, I promise.
And I want this as long as you want it.

You asked me where we could meet,
I found you there at Lime Street,
One cig left in the packet,
Stood shy in your Dad's jacket.
A moment I'll always keep,
Oh, take me back to Lime Street.
I swear to god you saved me,
I swear to god you saved me.

Is it too late to say, too late to say,
That I'm sorry for things I do?
I'm missing you like shit today.
And as the world spins on its axis,
Seems like it's brought me back here,
To say ?oh god, not this again?.

Is it too late to say?
Is it too late to say?
Is it too late to say?
I swear to god you save me
I swear to god you save me
