Marianas Trench – Lover Dearest

This place is a hole
but I don’t wanna go
i wish we could stay here forever alone
this time that we waste
but i still love your taste
don’t let him take my place
don’t just sit there

sometimes I wish you would leave me
whoa I’m not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I’ll just hide it
I could slip into you
its so easy to come back into you

I stayed for a while
and waited for words
seen but not heard
and struggled to try
my tongues turnin’ black
but I’ll take you back
your still the best more or less
I guess
I guess

don’t you leave me
whoa I’m not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I’ll just hide it oh
I could slip into you
its so easy to come back into you

and it hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay
and it might be all right if you go
it hurts me to say that i want you stay but it might be alright if you go

so leave me
whoa I’m not sick of you yet
is that as good as it gets
I’ll just decided whoa i could slip into you its so easy to come…
back into you

sometimes i think that the bitter in you and the quitter in me is the bitter in you and quitter in me
the bitter in you is the quitter in me is the bitter in me and the quitter in me
the bitter in you and the quitter in me is (yeah)
is better than the both of us


Marianas Trench – Perfect

Please sing to me, I can see you open up to breathe because
fast words make it easier on me
If the point’s to never disappoint you somebody’s got to tell
me what to do
i just wish you could have seen me when it used to come so
easy
I’d like to say that it’s easy to stay but it’s not for me, because
I’m barely here at all

Just slow down now the secret’s out and I swear now I can
make this perfect
What you want what you need has been killing me trying to
be everything that you want me to be I’ll say yes I’ll undress
I’ve done more for less and I will change everything till it’s
perfect again

Coming down coming around giving a frown to the sound
when I hit ground
i hate the way that I say I should stay when I know that I don’t
give a fuck about it anyway
I shake hands and shoot smiles all around as I sell my body by
the pound, sign my name on the dotted line for would be fate,
do not resuscitate

i think it’s better this way; it’s good in a bad way


Marianas Trench – Celebrity Status

I look around, round, look around and look it over,
I take it up, up take it out and take you nowhere,
trading in who I’ve been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over.
It never stop stops, never stops well you better,
think it over prima donna you don’t want to sever,
all the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses,
and smiling pretty, well pretty will shallow you forever.

Step one, step two, step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats, and I disappear
behind the beat
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth

I wonder why, why, I wonder why, why I oughta,
let you wreck, resurrect whatever you want to.
I can’t depend in the end you know I thought you were my friend.
Just stop, just stop, just stop I think I got it.
Sorry you, sorry me, sorry every in between,
sorry everybody here will never be somebody clean.
There’s a piece of me they’re throwing back at us,
and they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status.

Step one, step two, step three repeat
I pray at the church of asses in the seats, and I disappear
behind the beat
When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth.

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth.

Look around, ’round, look around, ’round, look around. (x5)
I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’ (x4)

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear
I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.
You can say what you say when the lights go down
So shake shake shake, and shut your mouth


Marianas Trench – Good To You

Everyone’s around, no words are coming now and I can’t find my breath can we just say the rest with no sound.
And I know this isn’t enough, I still don’t measure up. And I’m not prepared; sorry is never there when you need it.

And now I do want you to know I’ll hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you to know I think you’d be good to me and I’d be so good to you.
I would.

I thought I saw a sign somewhere between the lines but maybe it’s me, maybe I only see what I want.
I still have your letter, just got caught between someone I just invented, who I
really am and who I’ve become.

And now I do want you to know I’ll hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you to know I think you’d be good to me and I’d be so good to you.

I would

And now I do want you to know I’ll hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you to know I think you’d be good to me and I’d be so good to you.

I’d be good to you, I’d be good to you
I’d be good to you, I’d be so good to you
I’d be good to you, I’d be good to you
I’d be good to you, I’d be so good to you


Marianas Trench – Sing Sing

(Verse 1)
Can I have your attention
I just opened my mouth
Is it clear
Is it loud for you

(Bridge)
You just need me to be stable
But I’m not able
To keep it together again
Now don’t pretty please me
You’re not making it easy
To slow me down

(Chorus)
It’s no wonder
I’m not eating
I’m not sleeping
And you say, sing sing to me
Sing me something I need,
Sing new, sing good.
God I wish that I could

(Verse 2)
Are you hearing me now
Hear the sad little sounds
As they fall
From my mouth

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)
All my indecision
All of my excess
Don’t you ever tell me I’m not loving you best
I just need a minute
I just need a breath
It gets very hard to drink to my continued success

Do I have your attention

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus)

All my indecision (sing sing to me)
All of my excess
Don’t you ever tell me I’m not loving you best (sing sing to me)
All my indecision (sing sing to me)
All of my excess
Don’t you ever tell me I’m not loving you best (sing sing to me)

God I wish that I could


Marianas Trench – Acadia

In the house I grew up in, my room in the basement, the hours turning into years we spent.
Remember Chris in the backyard, laughing so damn hard and no one knew why.

But the rest if forgotten behind me.
Sometimes it reminds me of when we, we used to belong here.

Every memory comes on when I hear that old song that we used to sing with the words all wrong.
I remember the faces and familiar places.
And I sing along, but Acadia is gone.

Ran out of gas on the highway, we walked there and I gave drunken speeches on the sobriety.
Now we\’ve all moved away and somehow became men, but I remember where it began.

Forgotten behind me.
Sometimes it reminds me of when we, we used to belong here.

Every memory comes on when I hear that old song that we used to sing with the words all wrong.
I remember the faces and familiar places.
And I sing along, but Acadia is gone

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa, oh-e-oh, ah, ah.

Remember when 1712 Acadia road fell and they tore the house down.

Every memory comes on when I hear that old song that we used to sing with the words all wrong.
I remember the faces and familiar places.
And I sing along, but Acadia is gone.

Remember, behind me.
Sometimes it reminds me (Acadia is gone.)
Remember, behind me.
Sometimes it reminds me (In the house I grew up in.)
Remember, behind me (Remember the faces.)
Sometimes it reminds me (Somehow we became men.)
Remember, behind me.
Sometimes it reminds me (We used to belong here.)
Acadia is, Acadia is gone.


Marianas Trench – Beside You

When your tears are spent on your last pretense and your
tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense. When it’s
in your spine like you’ve walked for miles and the only thing
you want is just to be still for a while

if your heart wears thin I will hold you up and I will hide you
when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you

When you’re overwhelmed and you’ve lost your breath when
the space between the things you know is blurry abd the words
you want are out of reach but they’ve never been so loud

I will stay. Nobody will break you

Trust in me. Don’t pull away
I’m just trying to keep this together, because I could do worse,
and you could do better


Marianas Trench – Cross My Heart

So here’s another day I’ll spend away from you, another night
I’m on another broken avenue
My bag is ripped and worn, then again now so am i, take what
you want to take

I miss the stupid things, we go to sleep then, you wake
me up and kick me out of bed at 3 am. Pick up the phone and
hear you saying dirty things to me, do what you want to do

Take me with you I start to miss you
Take me home I don’t want to be alone tonight

And I do want to show you i will run to you, till I can’t stand
on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

Hotels are all the same. You’re still away from me, another
day another dollar that I’ll never see. Can i get a piece of
something good, I’d like just a little

I wonder what you’re doing, I wonder if you doubt it. I
wonder how we used to ever go so long without it. Now I
know where I go, I’m coming back to you. I’ll be where i outta be


Marianas Trench – All To Myself

Don’t patronize, I realize, I’m loosing and this is my real life.
I’m half asleep, and I am wide awake.
This habit is always so hard to break.
I don’t want to’ be the bad guy, been blaming myself and I think you know why.
I’m killing time, and times killing you, every way that I do.

Did you say \”please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.\”
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up.
Make me feel like someone else.
Please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up.
Make me feel like someone else.

I’m under the gun, I feel like I’m the only one.
I just can’t decide what I’m running from.
This isn’t what, I wanted but, I can’t keep my filthy fuck’n mouth shut.
It’s not enough, it’s never enough.
I wish I could breathe without getting it stuck.
I can’t focus it, but I try it.
Over and over again..

Did you say “please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.\”
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up.
Make me feel like someone else.
Please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up.
Make me feel like someone else.

Na na na na na na .. na
Please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I’ll can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up.
Make me feel liiikkee..
Did you say \”please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.\”
‘Cause I can’t stay with someone else
I’ll try and suck it up. I just can’t fuck it up.
I want you all to myself.

Did you say \”please just follow me, I thought you wanted me.\”
‘Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try and suck it up. I just can’t suck it up
Make me feel like someone else


Marianas Trench – Masterpiece Theatre Part 3

I’ve got a new disease in me, I’ve got a friend that’s losing sleep,
I take it hard, it’s hard to take, I’m wide awake.
I’m wide awake.
One more confession, discretion’s not what I need to sell,
I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself
and now that’s just how I tell I’m wide awake.
I’ll wreck this if I have to, tell me, what good would that do?
I’ll wreck this if I have to.

You get separated, somebody’s gone,
and I don’t know how, this is wrong.
I’m so frustrated, falling behind, you were a friend of mine.
I’d be so good to you, because they don’t know you like I do.
They don’t know you like I do. (x3)

There’s a difference from me to them,
and the road home is paved in star fuckers requiem,
I can never go, go back home again, Acadia is gone.
Acadia is gone.

All my indecision, all of my excess, don’t you ever tell me I’m not loving you best,
I just need a minute, I just need a breath,
it gets very hard to drink to my continued success.
Slow down, slow, it’s better in the worst way,
it’s getting better in the worst way.

Look around ’round, look around ’round, look around. (x4)
So here’s another day, I’ll spend away from you,
another night I’m on another broken avenue,
trading in who I’ve been for shiny celebrity skin.
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over.
I wonder what you’re doing, I wonder if you doubt it.
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it.
All the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses and smiling pretty.
I am right beside you, what you want what you need, I’ll make this perfect again.
I thought you wanted me.
If I burn out and slip away.
I thought you wanted me.
You’re beautiful, you are.

I’ve been here so very long and I could slip into you,
it’s so easy to come back into you, I’ll hide it,
could I hide in you awhile?
I’m not sick of you yet, is that as good as it gets?
I never took you for a trip but sometimes I don’t know what you want,
I could take it if you need to take this out on someone.
If this is just a part I portray, I don’t know how it got this way.
