Playback Part 2

Playback Part 2
1. Playback Part 2


Playback Part 2
(verse 1)
a face in a vision
so familiar
a phoenix legend
this is my trial

playing Möbius's game
so dramatic
feeling L.A. blue
taking a golden flight

the ghost of the past
comes back to haunt me
I'm not at home
I've got too much on my mind
but that's just between me and you

(chorus)
don't mess with me anymore
see my enemies to the door
just a minute
playback, playback
before I forget
playback, playback
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
don't mess with me anymore
stop keeping accurate score
it's all a numbers game
I've got my fortune and my fame
still I'm so poor
no friends, everything that breaks, bends
my mental health was on the mend
then it all went to hell
boy

if I wasn't so strong
I'd probably already be dead
if you weren't so wrong
I'd think you were right in the head

(bridge)
digging up old traumas
the wound won't close
so I can't heal
eek, it's back from the tomb

I drink wine with all my ghosts
I clean their sheets
and feed them if they're hungry

it's like a wind chilled and killed my fragile soul
I'll be this ornery even when I'm old

(chorus)
you need to check yourself
leave your attitude on the shelf
just a minute
playback, playback
schedule a visit
playback, playback
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
don't mess with me anymore
stop keeping accurate score
it's all a numbers game
I've got my fortune and my fame
still I'm so poor
no friends, everything that breaks, bends
my mental health was on the mend
then it all went to hell
boy

what? where?
there's a fire
I already knew it, I already knew it
I'm the one who set it

before I have the chance to forget
playback, playback
before I have the chance to forget
playback, playback

The Other Side of Goodbye 1.  The Other Side of Goodbye The Other Side of Goodbye (verse 1) I can't say I'm not thankful when I look through my old photo album I know I've acted ungrateful but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories we all passed down our legends it was like those decades lasted just seconds a lifetime that lasts eternity but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories (chorus) a last song for you, last song for you a little blue, but I promise it'll always feel brand new a last song for you, last song for you in my mind, you'll walk through the same door like you always do I swear I loved this place I swear I loved every face I swear on this melody, I swear we were in harmony we shared enemies, we cared so friendly it was then that I learned everything's not in black and white thank you for kindness, thank you for your tenderness thank you for smile, thank you for your love thank you for everything this goodbye has another s...

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...
