NOT YOUR FANTASY I’m not your baby, don’t call me your girl I’m not anything that you’ve seen before And i’m not your sweetheart I’m not your fucking toy Boy I’m not your girl and girl i’m not your boi And i’m not your fantasy So don’t even try Don’t think it’s complimentary Don't think it’s cute or nice To box up my whole world into some stereotype Cuz you don’t know the half of it And you don’t know my life Just cuz you saw it on the tv Doesn’t mean that it’s real life Cuz i’m not you fantasy So don’t even try So why can’t you look me in the eye? Where is your dignity your pride? Why can’t you look me in the eye? Where is your dignity? Where’s your pride? Well I hate to break the news, to you boy But i’m not your, fucking toy, no! 1,2,3,4 Get the fuck out!

NO I lay on my back, and watch the sky Turn from red to blue to black You never ask why, what’s on my mind I’m sure you do this all the time I guess I’m yours for the taking You lay your hands on me and i’m shaking And if you think that’s love then you’re mistaken I guess i’m yours for the the taking And I can’t say no And I can’t say no And I can’t say no And I can’t say no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Head to the house down the road Into the basement where no one will know Tell me I’m an old soul And you’re a wise man so you should know Yeah you should know. I guess I’m yours for the taking You lay your hands on me and i’m shaking And if you think that’s love then you’re mistaken I guess i’m yours for the the taking And I can’t say no And I can’t say no And I can’t say no And I can’t say no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

LONESOME Stop catch your breath You’re miles away, and you’re lonely Are you lying there, with thoughts of me Or are you playing? With all the boys out there? With all the girls that stare? With all the boys out there? With all the girls that stare? Cuz you could blame it on your lonesome You could blame it on your lonesome You could blame it on your lonesome You could blame it on your lonesome Stop catch my breath I’m right here, and i’m shaken By my thoughts that tempt me tonight I could be playing With all the girls ‘round here Like that one over there With all the girls ‘round here Like that one over there And I could blame it on my lonesome I could blame it on my lonesome I could blame it on my lonesome I could blame it on my lonesome And if you do I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry And if you do I won’t cry, I won’t cry, I won’t cry

HEY MISTER Got high and stumbled my way home again Went out, tried to calm down My body it don’t lie When things they just ain’t right I got an aching in my bones I said hey big mister! Come down here! And light another candle for another year Hey big mister give me one more before I die Hey there mister let me catch my breath Hey big mister let me catch my breath, uhhuh I like to think, I got it made No regrets or circumstances that I would change I’ve got it all but it’s still never enough I’m drowning my contentment in a half empty cup I read a book it said it’s all in how you look at it So I ripped out the page, and I made a kaleidoscope Now the ceiling is dancing, and the tables have turned My inside’s going out and my outside is a blur And it hurts like hell But no one can tell Said the little conversations I had with myself And I’m sick with doubt But i’m just laughing all about it And the little conversations I had with myself I said hey big mister let me catch my breath I’ll be good I promise you, I will do my best Hey big mister let me catch my breath, aha I said hey big mister let me catch my breath I’ll be good I promise you, I will do my best Aha, aha, aha, aha, aha Ahhhhhhhhhuhhhhuhhuuuuuuuuhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhuhhhhuhhuuuuuuuuhhhhh

ATLAS Cuz I was born this way With pain etched into me Don’t know who or why or what to blame Yeah I came in this way It’s always been the same Don’t know who or why or what to blame And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why I collapse onto the couch Shut the sunlight out Feel the world coming on so strong today Clear my head it’s full of doubts Why are all these people out and about? Feel the world coming on so strong today And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why And I don’t know why Sometimes I feel like Atlas standing on the hill With the weight of the world on my back I can’t stand to stand still I know my Hercules ain’t coming for me No, no time soon And if he took the weight from off of me The loss would just hurt too. But i’m fine, even if it’s heavy i’m fine I’m fine, and even if it’s heavy i’m fine I’m fine, and even if it’s heavy i’m fine I’m fine, i’m fine, i’m fine I’m fine, and even if it’s heavy i’m fine I’m fine, and even if it’s heavy i’m fine I’m fine, i’m fine, i’m fine, i’m fine I’m fine, i’m fine, i’m fine, even if it’s heavy i’m fine.
