V1: I try my hardest but nothing's ever good enough for you
Try not to anger when you wound my pride, rubbing it in that you
You're so much better and to you I'm just a waste of time
Why do I bother when your words are so stuck in my mind?
Prechorus: But you, you're so petty and I'm trying not to buy into your shit
And you, can be so convincing when you say, you think I'm worthless
Chorus: I can't wait until the day when I am not the one
that you call all those stupid names and use for your stomping ground
I will not look down upon you from up above
cause you are nothing more than the words you say, not good enough
V2: What is it this time that I did so incorrectly?
I think you'd like to believe I don't contain one ounce of morality
Just cause I'm different from you doesn't mean I don't understand
Because I am so different, you won't even try to see where I'm coming from
Finale: cause you are nothing more than the words you say
cause you are nothing more than the words you say
cause you are nothing more than the words you say
Not good enough

Anti-Hero - Unpretty
03:54
|
|||
|
V1: People ask why I wear my makeup so dark?
Maybe I'm trying to cover up each and every little scar
or maybe I just don't want the world to see
see me, feel so, uncomfortable
completely naked, baring my real self, for everyone to see
Chorus: Cause I feel so damn unpretty
I'll never be the girl posing in your fashion (fascist) magazines
My skin's broken out, I'm only a size three
I feel so damn unpretty
V2: I'll never be perfect for them or for me
Flat as they come, no curves to be found anywhere on me
Why are people staring in my direction?
Must be something in my hair, on my face, or in my teeth
Bridge/Solo: You know they used to point in magazines
to those perfect little prom queens
telling me I should look that way, dress that way, be like them
I'll never be that kind of girl
And there are plenty of others like me, going to each and every extreme
just to be as flawless as those celebrities you see on the t.v.
Well, I've been down that road before and it only leads to pain
So I'd rather feel unpretty and not live in vain

Anti-Hero - Wake Me Up
02:47
|
|||
|
V1: Everything is cracking me out tonight
When I'm feeling so lost in this world alright
I can feel you tossing and turning tonight
It keeps my dreams from coming yeah
V2: Now I've started to toss and turn myself
It's stranger now in this here foreign house
I feel awake, but I can't control my mind
Nightmares fill my thoughts baby
Chorus: Wake me up
Wake me up from this dream
V3: Screaming out in the middle of the night
I'm begging please rise up the morning light
Shadows are here creeping in my life
Wake me up from this nightmare
V4: Sleepwalking outside of my head
My mind is floating, but my body lies dead
Held tight by the covers of this dream
I can feel it coming over me

V1: Every moment of every day
All I dream about is running away
or I try to find the quickest fix
But every time I try to hit, I miss
Prechorus: For far too long
I used to be so strong
Chorus: I have difficulty breathing
I can't hear my heart beating
I have numbed all my insides
cause I don't wanna be lost on the outside
V2: I used to walk, but now I just stumble
Everything I loved seems so far gone
Is it worth it? Am I just a failure?
Waiting for my world to come crashing down?

Anti-Hero - More or Less
03:06
|
|||
|
V1: The more I try I can't forget
Your words keep repeating inside my head
The more I sit and just relax
The more you kill me with the facts
Prechorus: The more I show, the less I am
The more you say you don't give a damn
The more I care, the more you don't
The less you try, the more I hope
Chorus: Say it's not true
I won't hate (hail) you
We'll still be friends, it'll never end
But it's all lies
Took me by surprise
The more I thought of you, the less you were
V2: The more I believed, the more you lied
I feel so naive and defied
The more I cared, the less you were
The one I thought of as a sister
V3: The more I show, the less I am
At least I can say I gave a damn
The more you try to convince yourself
It all meant nothing to you now

V1: You thought by now, I would've been something
I thought by now, I could make you see
I thought by now maybe you'd realize
It's you who's holding me back, not me
V2: Let's take a trip down memory lane dear
Can you count anytime I've admitted defeat?
It's always you calling me the failure
What the hell have you done to think you're so above me?
Chorus: No better than me
No better than her
No better than him
We're all better than you
Better than you
V3: Once again, I'm the poor investment
Once again, you're disappointed in me
Don't understand anything that I stand for
All you care about is stealing my credit and money
V4: Let's take a walk now one day in my shoes
All I can offer's been put into my dreams
You only can see your own perspective
Have you ever given one thought of what it means to me?
Bridge: You'll never understand what it means to love
You'll never get why I can't give up
You can't comprehend what it means to pursue one's dreams
You'll never realize you tore our relationship at the seams
V5: You thought by now I would've been something
What makes you think you know anything about me?
And I don't care if I receive your praises
Cause you never ever understood me
never never never understood me, never never never understood me
never never never understood me, never never never understood me
Finale: I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
You're no better than me

V1: My sweetness
What have you done?
I'm thinking awful thoughts of what you have become
My sweetness
Turned yourself to hate,
all those precious things you once said about my fate
V2: My sickness
What have you become?
All those dark things stirring up at once
My sickness
It is now too late,
To take back my dreams, cast this shadow away
Chorus: Close the door
Turn off the light
Say goodbye
For the last time
V3: My sickness
Used to be so sweet
I'm laughing at my own pathetic self defeat
My sweetness
You are so sick
Makes me wonder how I lived with all your shit
V4: My insides,
torn up in shreds
Peel away the flesh
show my inner threads
My self left,
so I wonder who is here
Telling you the truths, but making it so unclear

V1: I thought I knew you well
Must have been blinded by my care
Didn't see through it all
Couldn't see who you really were
Prechorus: I never would've believed
You wouldn't always be by my side
Couldn't see it coming at me
All your hypocrisy and your lies
Chorus: Once more, with a little meaning this time
Stab that knife, deeper into my veins
Once more, with a little meaning this time
How can you say, I was not betrayed?
V2: Should I remember the past?
Can I even think it was real?
What a waste of time
Just like the rest when I thought you were special

V1: Close your eyes, go to sleep
For in your head, you will meet your dreams
You were told, to forget these things
So now you live, only in your dreams
Chorus: And I, know what it's like
And I, don't wanna live like that
And I, have lived through all that pain
And I, will not be ashamed, and let my dreams die
V2: Hold your breath, block out the sounds
of the world as it goes 'round
You weren't meant for this place
You're safer in your secret space
V3: Close your eyes, go to bed
I'll meet you there, inside your head
I won't let you forget these things
Together, we'll, live out our dreams

Anti-Hero - Two Words
04:44
|
|||
|
V1: Two words -- I'm sorry
They won't make me forget
Four years -- of bullshit
But still, I'd never regret
Prechorus: So many misconceptions, and still so many lies (you told so many lies)
I have moved on with myself, why can't you just get a life?
V2: Two months -- of anguish
I felt like I was dead
And you, all bound together
to stick that dagger in my chest
Chorus: And now you think you've got a point to prove
But I'm so much smarter than you
You think I'd just give up and lose
But I'm so much stronger than you
You think I'd watch you put my name to shame,
when I'm the one who made you
You think you've got a point to prove
I'll just show em I'm louder than you
V3: One time -- too many
You made me feel so small
This time -- it's not me
Who will be taking the fall
V4: One time -- too many
in my dreams you shared,
This time -- it's the last time
I'll think of you, and care
V5: Two words -- I'm sorry
I am still waiting to hear
Two words -- fuck you
I'd love to scream right in your ear
Finale: You think you've got a point to prove
I'll just show em I'm louder than you
Show em I'm louder than you
So much louder than you
Show em I'm louder than you
So much louder than you
Than you
