Neck Deep Album Lyrics by Neck Deep

Dumbstruck Dumbf**k

How many scars have you got?
How many tears have you dropped?
Suffering
Do you like who you are?
Yeah, do you like who you are?
I'm struggling to be the man that you want
But I'll give what I got
Promises
I really like who you are
I really like who you are
But I'm a useless, doofus, I'm always confused
And you get no improvement whatsoever
Her friends say she can do better, so

Before I surrender
At least can I get a little something to remember?
Before we say goodbye
"Don't be so hollow, don't be so dead inside
Those tees I borrowed, you'll never get 'em back, goodbye"

I never know when to stop
I'm trying to think, can you not?
Punishing
I'm alright if you are
Yeah, I'm alright if you are
I gotta say, she's the best that I got
Thinks I'm a freak but it's hot
Lucky me
I think she might take it off
I think she might take it off
Yeah, I'm a dumbstruck, dumbf*ck, head like a dump truck
Oh, and the more you talk the less I listen
Can't help thinking what you're missing, so

Before I surrender
At least can I get a little something to remember?
Before we say goodbye
"Don't be so hollow, don't be so dead inside
Those tees I borrowed, you'll never get 'em back, goodbye"

So, do you like who you are? (Do you like who you are?)
I really like who you are (I really like who you are)
I'm alright if you are (I'm alright if you are)
I think she might call it off

Before I surrender
At least can I get a little something to remember?

Before I surrender
At least can I get a little something to remember?
Before we say goodbye
"Don't be so hollow, don't be so dead inside
Those tees I borrowed, you'll never get 'em back, goodbye"
You'll never get 'em back, goodbye

Sort Yourself Out

Did you notice how I'm feeling?
I thought you might feel the same
Going back and losing track, so I'll repeat myself again
I've made mistakes, you've broken promises
I could win a f*cking medal for the most apologies
Apologies, apologies

I could buy her flowers, but it never f*cking works
It's like a loaded gun, it's like dynamite and a match to her
Guess you could say that she's explosive
She says, "Boy, you're corrosive, sort yourself out, sort yourself out"

Notice me
I'm trying here so desperately to find certainty
Not sure if I can be your peace of mind
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be what you want if you don't trust me
So, what's it gonna be?
Tell me who are, and tell me what you really think
Tell me what you really think

I could buy her flowers, but it never f*cking works
It's like a loaded gun, it's like dynamite and a match to her
Guess you could say that she's explosive
She says, "Boy, you're corrosive, sort yourself out, sort yourself out"

And to be honest, it's not really much to do with f*cking flowers
When you stay up for hours doing nothing
F*cking thinking 'bout the future
It's mental kama sutra
Sort yourself out, sort yourself out

I could buy her flowers, but it never f*cking works
It's like a loaded gun, it's like dynamite and a match to her
Guess you could say that she's explosive
She says, "Boy, you're corrosive, sort yourself out, sort yourself out"

And to be honest, it's not really much to do with f*cking flowers
When you stay up for hours doing nothing
F*cking drank all my kombucha
And play dumb just 'cause it suits ya
Sort yourself out, sort yourself out

This Is All My Fault

Before we jump to conclusions
Can we bear in mind some destructive tendencies
And the failure in our design?
I'm thinking of building you a perfect new replica
It thinks and it feels like me
But it's not as pathetic
I don't wanna fall out again
I've lost all self respect
I'm leaving my selfishness at the door

My sad excuses, no more
I'm telling you the sad truth
You always knew, you always knew

That I've got nothing left
Can't salvage what you can't find
And though you tried your best
You said it was the last time
So go on, go ahead, just walk away like they all do
I won't hold you back
I know this is all my fault

Before you cut me to pieces
Can you tell me why I'm always beside myself?
And I just need a little time to get this together
And I'll surely come crawling back
But whether you'll have me, that is not my call

My good intentions up the wall
Sharing secrets in the bathroom
What can I do?
You always knew

That I've got nothing left
Can't salvage what you can't find
And though you tried your best
You said it was the last time
So go on, go ahead, just walk away like they all do
I won't hold you back
I know this is all my fault

And then it all went black
That was that
That was all she wrote
No, I can't blame you
For trying to erase me
If I was you, I'd be gone too

I've got nothing left
Can't salvage what you can't find
And though you tried your best
You said it was the last time
So go on, go ahead, just walk away like they all do (before we jump to conclusions)
I won't hold you back (before you cut me to pieces)
I know this is all my fault (before we jump to conclusions)
This is all my fault (before we jump to conclusions)

We Need More Bricks

A symptom of this state
A consequence of madness
An overwhelming sense of an underlying sadness
The rain on the parade will only soak the ballots
The kids are wide awake
And they rage against the palace
Someone save us

Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks

The next emergency can only be so tragic
An opportunity for the next distraction tactic
The victims get the blame
When pricks get caught red handed
And don't reach for your kids
'Cause we've got this boat surrounded
Someone save us

Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more bricks

Yeah, we need more punks and we need more bark and we need more bite
Just because it's not on your own doorstep doesn't make it right

It doesn't make it right
We've gotta make it right
We've gotta make it

Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way out
It could be so tight, it could be so sick
It just ain't right and it just ain't this
We need more fight and we need more grit
We need more punks and we need more
Gotta get back up when you've been all the way down
There's a spark, there's a light
There's a will, there's a way, there's a way out

Heartbreak Of The Century

Distraction will be the death of me, oh
Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups, and I've been
Assuming that things are all working out
But this won't be the first time that I've been wrong about you

You're so smart, but my love just ain't enough
Maybe that's okay, I was thinking about f*cking myself anyway

It's not like me to be so weak
You got me good, you cut me deep
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

Affectionately, you f*cked me over
Depression is the devil on my shoulder that I can't
Suppress and I feel the desperation
No longer recognize the face that's staring back at me

Are you sure that it can't be like before?
Every signal you sent went over my head and missed the whole point again

It's not like me to be so weak
You got me good, you cut me deep
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

Apologies, apologies
They just don't work, she walks away
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

You got me, you got me good
And you cut me, you cut me deep
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

It's not like me to be so weak
You got me good, you cut me deep
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

Apologies, apologies
They just don't work, she walks away
It's honestly, probably
The heartbreak of the century

Go Outside!

I should go outside, get some air
Before you walk in and you see me like this again
I should play it off like there's nothing wrong
But I'm not that big and I'm not that strong
Held it all in for far too long
And so I let it all out
Embarrass myself and try to hold on
'Cause I can't give up now

Save me
I have lost myself
So I'm begging you to say my name
Snap me out of this
Take me back to when I felt like me
When I felt like me (like me)

I should take a breath
Get it off my chest
I should tell you everything
But I'm not ready yet
I should open up (should open up)
I should let you in (should let you in)
I shouldn't care about what everybody thinks, but I do
It's sad but true
I feel so see-through

Save me
I have lost myself
So I'm begging you to say my name
Snap me out of this
Take me back to when I felt like me
(When I felt like me)

And oh, it's like I fell through the trap door
I'm casting such a long shadow
I'm getting swallowed in the tide
No more places left to hide
Maybe I should go outside
And get some air

Save me
I have lost myself
So I'm begging you to say my name
Snap me out of this
Take me back to when I felt like me
(When I felt like me)

Take Me With You

Is anybody up there?
In a ship from out of space
Yeah, I know that you're up there
I can see you by the lakes

So are you gonna get down here?
Are you gonna show your face?
'Cause I need to know we're not alone
I need to know it's not a drone
(It's a drone again)

Don't need no bike to get him home
When we take off just take it slow
Where he's from? That I don't know
Just take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
Take me with you 'cause I'm so done with this planet
It sucks, yeah, you can have it
I'd be down to see inside your UFO
Take me with you when you go
(You go, you go, you go)

Is there anybody up there?
'Cause if so I come in peace
Yeah, I know that you're up there
But it doesn't bother me
So come and get your ass down here
Yeah, let's freak out the freaks
And if it's cool I'll stick with you
Because these things are not like me
(I know the truth)

Don't need no bike, don't need no phone
This ain't no X Files episode
Said he's got space on his ride home
Please take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
Take me with you 'cause I'm so done with this planet
It sucks, yeah, you can have it
I'd be down to see inside your UFO
Take me with you when you go
When you go
Maybe we can dip to the mothership
And we can watch it blow

'Cause there's no turning back
My bag is packed
Goodbye hellish sack, converting trash, black cliff
Flip the switch that makes it all explode
Take me with you when you go

Is there anybody up there?
Is there anybody up there?

Take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go
Take me with you 'cause I'm so done with this planet
It sucks, yeah, you can have it
Are you down to let me drive your UFO?
Take me with you when you go
Take me with you when you go

They May Not Mean To (But They Do)

Godspeed, little sinner
Dragged me to church to eat Jesus Christ
I can be a little pessimistic
I can be a little critical sometimes
Can't sleep, so you whisper
Now I see through all those little lies
But I didn't know better
But now I get it

I'm sorry that I made you cry those times the cops came by
Mama tried, Mama tried

They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do

Didn't raise no quitter
I'm still hooked and I think it'll kill me too
Caught myself in the mirror
And for a second, I could swear that it was you
You saw me miss a sitter
Didn't miss one game the entire time
Didn't care about the winner
Doesn't matter, as long as you've got your pride

And though we'd fight, I know they were right
They were right

They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
Do as I say, not as I do
When I was your age, I was just like you

So did they love too much?
Or was it not enough?
You know they're not to blame
Because we're all f*cked up

Those kids will be the death of you
They were so sweet but then they grew
And now they're f*cked up just like you, go

They f*ck you up, your parents do (f*ck you up, f*ck you up)
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
(They f*ck you up, they f*ck you up)
"I love you, son"
Yeah, love you too
When I grow up, yeah, I'll be just like you

It Won't Be Like This Forever

You know it won't be like this, it won't be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah

I'm trying to have some faith and keep it all together
But I'm not sure if I can say I'm feeling any better
Uh-oh, don't be so pessimistic, you're gonna miss it all
Baby, I hope that you calm down and you cheer up

You know it won't be like this, it won't be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in
You know it won't be like this, it can't be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah

Maybe someday I might feel the way I felt before
On a Monday, I am the rain, and you are the petrichor
Uh-oh, don't be so solipsistic, you're not the only one
Baby, I hope what once was is not lost

You know it won't be like this, it won't be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in
You know it won't be like this, it can't be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah
From sinking in, yeah

See, I could try to explain it, but it's just too complicated
Sometimes I think it's a curse, it's the worst
God, I hate it, it's a long shot, baby
But I think we're gonna make it, we'll be there someday
And I swear that it won't be like this
No, it won't be like this
No, it won't be like this
No, it won't be like this

Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in

Moody Weirdo

Inner child
Defensive trap
Fighting back your siege
Skinny cat
Hackles up
Biting hands that feed
A crying shame
A terrible waste
A hell of a way to save face
Inner child, it's okay, it's okay

You gotta take one small step every day
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane

Hollow man
Biting his pain
Throwing a fit
He can't sleep
The bullet train shakes the patience out of this waiting game
The seventh day of arguing with the kid in the picture frame
I'll take the blame
If you could hear this, I should say that

You gotta take one small step every day
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane
One step every day
Don't fight the change
Don't fight, don't fight it
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane

I didn't think I was stupid
It was all in fear
And I don't think I can do this
Without you here
What would it take to erase all my mistakes and change your mind?
I don't think I can do this
But I think I have to

You gotta take one small step every day
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane
One step every day
Don't fight the change
Don't fight, don't fight it
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane

Make way for the hurricane
(One step every day, don't fight the change)
(Don't fight, don't fight the change)
