ACCQUAINTENCESI'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life
ATTACHED AT THE HIPLet's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives
BEST GIRL FRIENDI'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
BEST GUY FRIENDYou man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
CHILDHOOD BUDDIESThis is our decision to live fast and die young
CLOSE FRIENDSWe've got the vision, now let's have some fun
CONFIDANTYeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do
ENEMIES TURNED FRIENDSGet jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute
FAKE FRIENDSForget about our mothers and our friends. We were fated to pretend
FORBIDDEN FRIENDSI’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
JUST A FRIENDI'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
JUST METI'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
NOD IN THE HALLWAYYeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
NOT-SO-CLOSE FRIENDSBut there is really nothing, nothing we can do
OTHER HALFLove must be forgotten, life can always start up anew
PARTNERS IN CRIMEThe models will have children, we'll get a divorce
SECRET FRIENDSWe'll find some more models, everything must run its course
SOMETIMES FRIENDSWe'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end. We were fated to pretend
xxWe’re Just A Million Little Gods Causin’ Rainstorms,
Turnin’ Every Good Thing To Rustxx
Turnin’ Every Good Thing To Rustxx

AVOIDANCEAlexander, our older brother, set out for a great adventure
BACKSTABBERHe tore our images out of his pictures
BURN IN HELLHe scratched our names out of all his letters
CATFIGHTOur mother should’ve just named your Laika
CHILDHOOD ENEMIESCome on Alex, you can do it
COULD SHOULDERCome on Alex, there’s nothing to it
DISLIKEIf you want somethin’ don’t ask for nothin’
ENEMY OF A FRIEND If you want nothin’ don’t ask for somethin’
FAMILY RIVALRYIt’s for your own good, it’s for the neighborhood
FRIENDLY RIVALSThe neighborhood
FRIENDS TURNED ENEMIESOur older brother bit by a vampire
FRUSTRATIONFor a year we caught his tears in a cup
HATREDAnd now we’re gonna make him drink it
HATRED BY ASSOCIATIONCome on Alex, don’t die or dry up
INDIFFERENCEWhen daddy comes home you always start a fight
IRRITATIONSo the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights
LACK OF TRUSTThe police disco lights
PLOTTING DOWNFALLNow the neighbors can dace
SERIOUS RIVALSLook at them dance
<3 Holy Cow,
I Love Your Eyes <3
I Love Your Eyes <3

BAD PASTHow dare the premier ignore my invitations? He’ll have to go
CRUSHSo too the bunch he luncheons with. It's second on my list of things to do
CURRENTAt the top is stopping by your place of work and acting like
DENIALI haven't dreamed of you and I and marriage in an orange grove
FLINGYou are the only thing in any room you're ever in
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITSI'm stubborn, selfish and too old
FORGOTTEN- PASTI sat you down and told you how
FUTUREThe truest love that's ever found is for oneself
GOOD PASTYou pulled apart my theory with a weary and disinterested sigh
LUSTSo yes I guess I'm asking you to back a horse
MAKEOUT BUDDYThat's good for glue and nothing else
OBSESSIONBut find a man that's truer than
ON AND OFFFind a man that needs you more than I
SECRETSit with me a while and let me listen to you
SERIOUS FLIRTINGTalk about your dreams and your obsessions
SHAMELESS FLIRTINGI'll be quiet and confessional
STALKERThe violets explode inside me when I meet your eyes
STILL FEELINGS- PASTThen I'm spinning and I'm diving like a cloud of starlings
THE ONEDarling is this love?
¤¤You told me this has always been worth living.
What's really worth living anymore?¤¤
What's really worth living anymore?¤¤

BAD INFLUENCEI am the only one that thinks I'm going crazy and I don't know what to do
CLASSMATEI am the only son of a pastor I know who does the things I do
DISRESPECTBut if it was you I don't think that it would matter
DISTRUSTOh and if it was true then I just wouldn't matter
EMOTIONAL SUPPORTI was amazed at the color and shapes you drew a paper cut for two
FUTURE FAMILYI am the only son of a bastard I know that knows the bastard too
GOOD INFLUENCEBecause it was you I called it a different story
IDOLBut if I was you I'd make this a simpler story
MENTORI bet you did what you did when you did it
MIXED FEELINGSTo do it again by the time you were done with it
NEVER METI bet you did what you did when you did
OTHER (SPECIFY) Just to tell every friend that you have that the Lord did it
PROTECTIVEI finally knew that I simply couldn't matter
RESPECTYou finally knew that you simply couldn't matter
ROOMIEI guess that it's true you never knew the passive power of the truth so cut me loose
TEACHERIf I could write another phrase we might be better off this way
TRUSTBut there's no use, no there's no use
