You're Ruining The Party

I want the world to just stay the same
To sit in your basement, and play all the games
But you've gone and grown
More aptly, you've changed
From genuine friends to players in a game
And nothing we do can go back the same
Forgive me if I show any pain
The monsters will come along with the rain
No capes for the heroes but saving the day
CHORUS:
Somebody call the police cause there's been a theft of my childhood
I held mistaken beliefs that we could be safe for a moment
This it not dungeons & dragons
It takes more than conventional weapons
Somebody call the police so that there's someone there to find me
I had the world tied on a string
And in an instant, lost everything
Lost & alone, some dangerous thing
The stuff made of nightmares
The once would be king

The Hurt Is Good

CHORUS:
Don't forget the hurt
Remember these words
The hurt is good
And when the pain returns
If memory serves
Some hurt is good
I never thought that I would find anything good
After this tragedy befell me in some other neighbourhood
But you needed someone and I guess that I did too
I had forgotten how to feel things
Until I felt something for you
It felt so new
It felt so good
I never thought that things could change oh so fast
I guess that life is ever changing, I guess the good things never last
And now I've decided in my heart and in my head
I'm gonna do my best to save you
I'm gonna leave myself for dead
You were my world
My little girl
Leave, leave the door open a bit

I've been waiting for a moment
That never comes
And truth, be, told that I'm afraid of
The moment it does
But God I so was happy
Just for one hot second
The way you're looking at me
Almost makes it worth it
I'm going out a hero
Let nothing keep you from leaving
This place that you're afraid of
And if I lived for just one more second
I'd know you were saved from
But God it was so precious
These messed up little moments
Was I another a footnote
on one more changing channel?
Or did we make a difference
And did I make you happy?
In these our final moments
The way you're looking at me
Is how I looked at you...

Gotta keep those two apart
Gotta keep those two apart
It's just so unnatural

I am the first, so I'll be the last
The living we do, we do it so fast
Please bury me deep, where I'll never breathe
The coast to the west, is where I should be
And I'll save the day
And I'll fade away
And I'll save the day
I'll help you get away
Redemption at last, redeem all my faults
Yeah I just lashed out, cause that was who I was
I'll give up my bones, my body all for
A chance to redeem, the person I was
It wasn't my fault
It's not who I was
I tried & I fought
But it always won

Okay, I admit it, I just didn't see that coming, not the least and I
Am, kind of, disappointed, cause thought I figured it all out
You are, so perfect, except in the way that matters most in this regard
I get it, I'm a target that you just weren't aiming at
I know I never get anything right...
I thought I'd figured it out this time...
I've made decisions, based on some backward sense of popularity
And now in, the real world, it's finally catching up with me
So now I'm, replacing, all of those stupid cliche ideals I could be
I guess, there's a, few more before I can finally start to see
I know I never get anything right
But for once, you know, it might be nice
This is one of those moments in your life
You'd swear you would fall apart except for the fact
That you're riding on a high
Yeah this one of, of those realisations, right?
Where you discover something about yourself
Broke my heart but opened my eyes
