Set It Off : Calm Before the Storm

Lyrics
1. INTRODUCTION TO OUTSELLING A SALESMAN
Your mind is so perplexed over what you'll do next
But you'll never confess the secret, we all crave to hear and see
Innocence may tell the boys your nice, the knife you hide
Behind all the narcissistic traits you taught us all to hate
And you think you run this game, prepare to fall falt on your face
Cause you've just met your match
I'm not waiting for another day
You had your chance and you threw it all away
It's high time you realize that this is what you had in store
And you throw ice as if you're throwing dice
My intellect will melt your cold on sight
Tucked tight inside your bed, these thoughts race through your head
You've been outdone
You always complain, when you get what you deserve
You will stay the same, I can't believe you had the nerve
To tell me what we know
And you're not the one to be waiting under mistletoe
Second place is just first loser, listen to me boys and you'll refuse her
I'm not waiting for another day
You had your chance and you threw it all away
It's high time you realize that this is what you had in store
And you throw ice as if you're throwing dice
My intellect will melt your cold on sight
Tucked tight inside your bed, these thoughts race through your head
You've been outdone
I'm not waiting for another day
You had your chance and you threw it all away
It's high time you realize that this is what you had in store
And you throw ice as if you're throwing dice
My intellect will melt your cold on sight
Tucked tight inside your bed, these thoughts race through your head
You've been outdone
2. 143
This is it, listen up right now.
I’m singing this for all the world to hear,
This is our story, in lack of human glory,
So tonight, I’m breaking down despite
What you may have found,
Attention, the nice guy’s left the room
And now the prick will take the floor.
So here we go,
I’m not alone,
Your covers blown,
Hey sweetie welcome to your song.
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw,
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward,
I know I never wanted to see you fall.
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward,
Subject “K” it’s you I loathe the most,
Quick to threat and quick to boast,
It’s just too damn sad and too damn bad
You’ll not even come close,
To what I can do,
Your girl knows this much is true,
I’ll admit I was unaware that two cheaters make a pair.
So here we go,
I’m not alone,
Your covers blown,
Hey sweetie welcome to your song.
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw,
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward,
I know I never wanted to see you fall.
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward,
Those pictures sit on your shelf,
No more being yourself,
In this returning thorn in your side.
Go ahead believe the words he says,
Tell yourself it will be different and,
May your lips taste of mine when you kiss him.
I never wanted to exploit your every flaw,
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward,
I know I never wanted to see you fall.
Until you brought this forward, brought this forward
3. HOUSTON WE'RE GOING DOWN
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
He said, “Houston, we’re going down.”
As he took his last stand out of town.
His faded dreams and memories
Were nothing more than lies I digress
Have you seen my alter world of make believe?
It always just convinces me that everyone will disappear
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
One day you will see
That the rest is history.
Open eyes and fragile minds
Never seemed to hold me back till now.
Should I stay or should I go?
I’ll never seem to know
Or I could give it up now
And I’ll see
I never should have left you
Because of me,
I’ll second guess my virtue
You were the one
I wish that I could hold you near
But I’m too late
You said you needed time
Too bad my watch is broken
Our lives fell out of line
I’m breaking down
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
One day you will see
That the rest is history.
Those nights that we shared,
Your eyes lit up the heavens.
And when I was scared,
My cheeks were sore from smilin’
And I was unaware
But you have helped me catch my breath
She whispers that you haven’t seen nothing yet
(So tell me why)
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
One day you will see
That the rest is history.
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
4. PAGES & PARAGRAPHS
Listen close and
Don’t you say a word.
I’ll tell you a story of
A boy who heard
Nice guys finish last.
But then
It was to his surprise
She walked into his life.
Let’s rewrite this tale.
Turn, turn the pages of your real-life story
Based on love.
Read over chapters carefully
Just to finally see your past mistakes.
Push pen to paper and put your bottle down
You say that there’s no happy endings
But in this story, the good guy gets the girl.
You were so short of yourself.
Your tongue can whip like a belt.
Too bad we’re ten feet tall.
I’m on cloud 9 and so is she
Only wants to be with me.
Score one for the nice guys.
This one goes out to all of you
Who know what I’m going through,
Singing baby I’m yours.
Turn, turn the pages of your real-life story
Based on love.
Read over chapters carefully
Just to finally see your past mistakes.
Push pen to paper and put your bottle down.
You say that there’s no happy endings
But in this story, the good guy gets the girl.
Turn, turn the pages of your real-life story
Based on love.
Read over chapters carefully
Just to finally see your past mistakes.
Push pen to paper and put your bottle down
You say that there’s no happy endings
But in this story, the good guy gets the girl
5. TEXT ME KELLY
The rain is beating down,
On this kid's playground,
As the lights go up and the chalk hits the board,
My mind is senseless my instincts secure.
29 turned to the right and 14 to the left,
Unlock the combination to my fragile mind to see what I detest.
Let it be, let it be boy you better stop,
Let it be, let it be boy you better not,
Let it be boy the curfew is now, the bell is silent but loud at 2.
Let it be, let it be boy you better fight
Let it be, let it be boy the door's in sight
Let it be boy, oblivious mess you see that I've become.
Come on this is the time to show us what your
Made of just keep it real and then you'll see that we
Take our time to do it right take a note this is how we do.
But don't you know the woven threads around my wrist are proof that we are true
Let it be, let it be boy you better stop,
Let it be, let it be boy you better not,
Let it be boy the curfew is now, the bell is silent but loud at 2.
Listen closely
I've been mostly
Blind but now I see it's clear
Cause when I'm folding you are holding
On so that I know you're near.
We will always be Best Friends
Let it be, let it be boy you better stop,
Let it be, let it be boy you better not,
Let it be boy the curfew is now, the bell is silent but loud at 2.
6. I PROMISE
If you stepped back and realized
I'm sure that you'll see
That these words that were spoken eventually
Will dwell in my conscience
Til my dying day
Oh what can I say to change your perception
Want me by your side?
The fact that you moved on
Makes me wanna cry
If you open your door
I'll be there with arms wide
Just begging and praying
For one more goodbye
So I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to
Because I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love
Oh my love, oh..
I keep telling myself that
It's not what it seems
And wish that you wouldn't
Keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and
Wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?
I imagined the worst when
You were on the phone
As you sat there and told me
That you were alone
I could see him, I know how
He makes you behave
That this wasn't the girl
That I kissed on our date
But I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to
Because I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears..
Because I'm not over you
I promise
You won't see this face
Show up at your place
Although I'm in town
I'll stay here, my love
Oh my love, my love
Oh my love
And I should know better
Give up while I can
And prove to the world
That I'll be my own man
You broke me and took me
Along for the ride
And this pain that you've left me
Should make me subside
But I'm not over you
(I'm not over you
I'm not over you
I'm not over you)
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
(I wish I could do anything to get you back)
I meant it and now
I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you
('cause I'm over)
I promise
You won't see this face
Show up at your place
(Don't let me go)
Although I'm in town
I'll stay here
'Cause I'm not over you
I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now
I'm in tears
My love
