[Intro]
Let's start with just the basics then
I'm sure that we could fake it when
It's time to say how much it meant
And we walk out so innocent
[Verse 1]
You can be so persuasive
When you say it's
More than a day trip
And convince me
I'm condescending
When I ask, "Will this be ending?"
How quickly lust can pretend it's love
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Verse 2]
All the suspense
That we've created
Now it's wasted
And we can't change it
The beginning to the ending
I find myself remembering
[Pre-Chorus]
How quickly lust can pretend it's love
Designing words to help us believe
It's so much more than just tonight
So we have got to get this right
How quickly words can become our hands (you wanted more, you wanted more)
Resigning everything we believe (you wanted more, you wanted...)
You wanted more, you wanted more.
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Verse 3]
You could be the one to stay
Made from birth for just this day
But something tells me it's not right
If we could lose it all tonight
I'm no better on my own
Leave the message on your phone.
Always trying what I can.
To be a child and not a man
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Outro]
My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me without a plan (Something I'll miss)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man?
(Something I will always miss)

Playing With Fire
Pardon me for saying so but you look more pitiful
Than I had ever imagined
Despite perfect fashion
And your photographs depict you so differently
I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me
So let's decide who can survive
Stomping feet and racing beats
Of hearts that don't ever slow
Then I'll write letters on white paper
Expressing my deep disappointment
Dripping where I stand from my watery hands
Hoping to get past the open bedroom door
Where her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversations
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the lights
14 days now since we started (I'm not)
To complicate the situation (I'm not hiding from this situation)
I'm not hiding, (I'm not)
I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door (I'm not hiding from this situation)
We will come out when it's safe for us
when it's safe for us
when it's safe for us, us
for us all
There's nothing left to say (Don't believe me when I say it's over.)
To excuse the way that I've behaved
I still feel him
gripping like a stain to this fabric (By the time you're gone it's all uncovered)
Torn in every seam
Then thrown away
One without regret, I will not forget
One without regret, I will not forget
Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes? (One without regret)
You were there with every promise made to break (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (One without regret)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (Kill me, kill me, kill me)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget (Kill me, kill me)
Than I had ever imagined
Despite perfect fashion
And your photographs depict you so differently
I always thought you would be, some sort of match for me
So let's decide who can survive
Stomping feet and racing beats
Of hearts that don't ever slow
Then I'll write letters on white paper
Expressing my deep disappointment
Dripping where I stand from my watery hands
Hoping to get past the open bedroom door
Where her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversations
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the lights
14 days now since we started (I'm not)
To complicate the situation (I'm not hiding from this situation)
I'm not hiding, (I'm not)
I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door (I'm not hiding from this situation)
We will come out when it's safe for us
when it's safe for us
when it's safe for us, us
for us all
There's nothing left to say (Don't believe me when I say it's over.)
To excuse the way that I've behaved
I still feel him
gripping like a stain to this fabric (By the time you're gone it's all uncovered)
Torn in every seam
Then thrown away
One without regret, I will not forget
One without regret, I will not forget
Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes? (One without regret)
You were there with every promise made to break (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (One without regret)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (Kill me, kill me, kill me)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won't forget (Kill me, kill me)

Returning The Smile You Have Had From The Start
You wanted to know us
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a white lie
Don't know what it was to deserve this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing
Stop breathing
The medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Smiling, beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you to die
(Can't tell what josh is screaming)
This day will end
With the lies complete
My closest friend
Here in front of me
(Can't tell what josh is screaming)
You wanted to know us
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a poor thing
Don't know what it was to deserve this
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a white lie
Don't know what it was to deserve this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing
Stop breathing
The medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Smiling, beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you to die
(Can't tell what josh is screaming)
This day will end
With the lies complete
My closest friend
Here in front of me
(Can't tell what josh is screaming)
You wanted to know us
If it was for the pain that its caused us
For the lies, such a poor thing
Don't know what it was to deserve this

Studying Politics
[Verse 1]
It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but we're dealing in percents
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
Your words always cut when they're cliché
But here's my knife because I came for the buffet
[Chorus]
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
I've caught you once again
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
(Oh Ho) [x7]
[Verse 2]
You'd like to think that you're the best part of me
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
Say the name (say the name)
[Chorus]
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
And I've caught you once again
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Your tears for emphasis
[Bridge]
(Ahhhh)
There's that smile again (there's that smile again)
You fake it and I follow you right in
What a fool I've been
To fall for it each time
[Chorus]
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
(Oh Ho) [x5]

Left With Alibis And Lying Eyes
Watching someone stop breathing.
Feel their arms and palms releasing.
The color, the smell of the skin,
All of this with your fingerprints.
And there isn't a thing that we can do.
Drive drive drive drive,
I don't want to get caught.
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent.
And there is enough to prove we're not.
They will believe anything.
I'm packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.
There isn't one thing we forgot.
You'll see, we'll get away with this.
My jeans, your shoes, we'll throw away everything we've used.
But there's still your worried mouth
To match your worried eyes.
The only two things left to find.
Drive drive drive drive,
I don't want to get caught.
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent.
And there is enough to prove we're not.
They will believe anything.
I'm packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.
There isn't one thing we forgot.
You'll see, we'll get away with this.
(Murderer, with your teenage eyes, resist confession.
Oh, the weight is so much, my heart is hollow.
With this foolish thing I've done)
There's no compromise.
So remember this.
Your hands are lies.
It's too late for ifs.
We'll go home and close the door,
then pull the sheets up to our heads and sleep.
And there isn't a thing that they can do.
Drive drive drive drive,
I don't want to get caught.
We'll say, we'll say we're innocent.
And there is enough to prove we're not.
They will believe anything.
I'm packing all my clothes and never going to go home again.

Listening To Freddie Mercury
Every once in a while I think I'm lying.
Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But there's a thought it could be true.
But this just isn't how I imagined it would be.
With these random people just asking the most personal things.
And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.
You're a Christian tell the sinner
find repentance it's your last chance.
You believer, where's your patience?
Answer questions, put on faces.
(What about God?) To see if it's right or wrong
(What about God?) to listen to this song.
(What about God?) I don't want you too.
(What does it mean?) And see if you're okay
(What does it mean?) with all the words I say.
(For you, for me.) It can't be this way.
(All have fallen short)
Somehow, someone's more equal than others.
Depending on the words we choose to say.
A glance at her too long tonight.
But everything I am saying's right in your ears.
We are all the sisters and the brothers.
Until we find we don't believe the same, like...
Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah.
Sarah is stealing money from her parents.
Aaron is lying straight to Jon.
About Megan and the things that went on.
Jessica is a gossip, Laura is a slut.
Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs.
Seth spends all his money gambling.
Joey stopped praying.
It's all the same.
We are all the same people.
With sinning hearts that make us equal.
Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
It's not our job to make anyone believe.
Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
Then again this is when you start your prying.
(This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But there's a thought it could be true.
But this just isn't how I imagined it would be.
With these random people just asking the most personal things.
And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.

The Weakest
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired of their lies (it never stops)
It's worth more than my life (than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peaceful for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me
saying that I'm the cause of all their crime
And when they're drunk I pour the wine
Lets leave this place and say that we escaped
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace of plans that we have made
So they can't find us and take what is ours
Point the gun (in your way)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Take me far from this less-than perfect design
My contributions only go so far without monetary gain for my part.
Lets leave this place (it won't happen this time)
and say that we escaped (decisions that are mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace (the finger and the gun)
of plans that we have made (to be the only one)
So they can't find us and take what is ours (take what is ours)
Running with the scissors pointed at your heart from your hand
Is that your plan?
I don't have time for questions concerning your future position
Lets leave this place (it won't happen this time)
and say that we escaped (decisions that are mine)
We'll say that there's no difference between right and wrong tonight
We'll leave no trace (the finger and the gun)
of plans that we have made (to be the only one)
So they can't find us and take what is ours (take what is ours)
Put on your coat (it's time to go, it's time to go)
Dancing very close (with what I want)
Taking every inch to (it's farthest point)
Losing precious time (is not a choice)
When I'm dealing with you (I heard your voice)
Giving up the fight (with arms that bruise)
delicately shading (these grays and blues)
but I could never stop (bleeding for you)
endless dedication (my gift to you)
Just pretend that it is time (it is time)
Say the word and I will fire
Sometimes I get so tired of their lies (it never stops)
It's worth more than my life (than my life)
Say the word and I will die
There's no peaceful for passing of this new sickness
That I have introduced
To everyone around me

Miss Behavin
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't!
(I could never find such a pretty face, pretty face [x2])
Always what you meant, never what you said.
Passing over me like a book you've read.
But I let it fall, valet every wish.
Take my hands and eyes, but I beg you this:
Offer me one kiss.
If it's her you want, this is what it takes...
If it's her you want, this is what it takes...
Let's get this over.
(Let's get this over.)
Discuss and deny soon we simply just lie.
(Let's get this over.)
And wait and see if you choose something like me.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
But you're such a success, you're just not built for it.
I never knew (I never knew) how much it takes to accept...
I never knew (I never knew) how much it takes to accept
That you're a fake.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,

(If you just open up your eyes)
But you're such a success, you're just not built for it.
(If you just...)
Sometimes I think you just need
Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think I need some to get along without.
To get along without.
(To get along without.)
Everyone's saying that they've got the answers.
But hope is deceiving and spreads like a cancer.
To get along without.
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't!

In Between 4th and 2nd Street
In between fourth and second street..
I felt like I thought you would
And I...
I felt like I thought you would
And I...
Copyright: Lyrics © Original Writer and Publisher
The Terrible Secret
pave these streets with open arms
it's always you we're waiting on
the skin, the taste, the drug, the need
i'm asking, telling you, don't leave
erase the lines that we have drawn
it's always you we're waiting on
and waiting on and waiting on
and on and on and on and on
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
the perfect shoes with matching clothes
it is the lie we're always told
but nothing masks the shallow touch
by saying words that cost so much
while you're an addict to the need
to find yourself a way to breathe
the sex, the purge, the vein, the look
to reflex feelings that we took
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
perfection, it's perfection
but never quiet enough, and never could disguise
the drugs to make it stay
the wanting in your eyes
the money that you spent, but you're still an accident
we are more than words that fill our mouths
drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we need
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
waiting here until you leave...
it's always you we're waiting on
the skin, the taste, the drug, the need
i'm asking, telling you, don't leave
erase the lines that we have drawn
it's always you we're waiting on
and waiting on and waiting on
and on and on and on and on
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
the perfect shoes with matching clothes
it is the lie we're always told
but nothing masks the shallow touch
by saying words that cost so much
while you're an addict to the need
to find yourself a way to breathe
the sex, the purge, the vein, the look
to reflex feelings that we took
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
perfection, it's perfection
but never quiet enough, and never could disguise
the drugs to make it stay
the wanting in your eyes
the money that you spent, but you're still an accident
we are more than words that fill our mouths
drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we need
these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you
wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be
waiting here until you leave...

In A Lose Lose Situation
Don't be late
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you made
If I could tell the truth
Or lie would I attempt to do at the same time
Expect you to apologize for trying
To make me so up tight
Don't say its just a game we play
I can't loose the taste
If you regulate how the blood is pumping
Through the veins from my heart into my brain
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I'm thinking
Ay as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
This is still my life
And yours to defy
Anyone in their right mind would ever let you inside
Anyone in their right mind
A broken ties with the neighborhood
A feeling like
From an empty glass
Of nothing good
And ___
Deciding as I wait for her to entertain
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
To breath in the air that so proudly puts to death
My own fathers name
I remember when your hand started shaking
There's a better way to clean up the mess you've been making
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you made
If I could tell the truth
Or lie would I attempt to do at the same time
Expect you to apologize for trying
To make me so up tight
Don't say its just a game we play
I can't loose the taste
If you regulate how the blood is pumping
Through the veins from my heart into my brain
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I'm thinking
Ay as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
This is still my life
And yours to defy
Anyone in their right mind would ever let you inside
Anyone in their right mind
A broken ties with the neighborhood
A feeling like
From an empty glass
Of nothing good
And ___
Deciding as I wait for her to entertain
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
To breath in the air that so proudly puts to death
My own fathers name
I remember when your hand started shaking
There's a better way to clean up the mess you've been making

In A Win Win Situation
I've noticed your design
'Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone(If you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone
If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No Valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone(if you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song(if you can't hear the song)
Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all
I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again
'Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone(If you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone
If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No Valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone(if you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song(if you can't hear the song)
Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all
I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again

The Question is the second album released by Emery. The question the title speaks of involves what is printed on the back of the CD jewel case, "Where were you when I was..." The track titles complete this question (e.g. "Where were you when I was in a lose, lose situation?" or "Where were you when I was studying politics?" or "Where were you when I was so cold I could see my breath?").
On November 21, 2006, Emery re-released The Question, including five acoustic versions of previously recorded songs and two new demo tracks and a DVD. The DVD includes "Emery - A Film", "Live Songs", and "Bonus Footage".
