S.O.B.


You say I seem so grim. Darling do you forgive me.
I went out on a limb. ‘cause I needed to be.
Near the fireflies flying high above me.
Then I hit the sky and it fell down on me.

You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger.
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face.

You know I bite my nails, my skin and my fingers.
And I've heard that's my liver, my nerves and my brain.
I said I just like to bite on my fucking fingers.
Do you have another intelligent answer for me today.

You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger.
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face.
You said it just wasn't there when it fell down on me.
Well I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say.

I lost my trust in you. You were dangerous and scary.
And you poisoned me with the fruits everyone was intrigued by. And I finally got buried. You said I won't forget
and I don't remember and You said I'm something
I'm not and I fell on my face.
You said I wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me.
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say.
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say.

The Road Between


Out on the road between nowhere and hell
I caught a glimpse of my reflection in you
But they can't believe I still want you around

Hung on the line between addiction and this
I can't believe you said I hurt you again
But I can't afford to let you get away
And I cannot take the darkness when you stay

You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all

How many roads between your world and mine
How many broken doors and how many fights
I changed my furniture to make you go away
I'm still overwhelmed at how much space you take

You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all

And I can't have you right now
And I can't get it right now
And I can't have you right now
And I can't get it right now

You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all
This is definitely my fault

Hung on the line between addiction and this
I can't believe you said I hurt you again

You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind

Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn

I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind

Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn

Was that bridge I was crossing
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess I fell off on my own

I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except for the one I'm stumbling down
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a
bitch from Memphis
Well it's all there I guess
And I haven't forgot

Better Beware


Dreams of contemplation, a resignation, know what.
Useless indignation, a segregation, plant your seed.
Steamless conversation, what is happening to me.
I'm no longer your erection, or your congregation,
I'm your disease.

(Chorus)
You take the sun.
You have your fun but you better beware.
You better beware.
You broke it down.
With that boring sound you gave to me.
That I don't want to hear.

You're in some blind elation, a kind of delusion,
You don't get through to me.
Deliver your equation
And still you won't see a change in me.
You want my redemption,
You want me to believe that it's all me.
Well, I'm no longer your erection, or your congregation,
I'm your disease.

(Chorus)
You take the sun.
You have your fun but you better beware.
You better beware.
You broke it down.
With that boring sound you gave to me.
That I don't want to hear..


Better Beware:

Lyrics by Lisa Marie Presley

Nobody Noticed It


I heard broken footsteps
Was that you limping
Well I wish I that could have spent just a little bit more time with you...yeah

Tears on my ceiling
Weren't you watching
Well I guess that none of us will ever know what comes
after this

You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it

I know your resemblance
Um it's out there walking'
And I wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten

When they try to make you look broken
Not while I'm living'
But I wanted you to know that I heard what he said
when it was raining'

You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it

You made me
I love you
And do you know nothing has changed
Now everyone they notice it
Everyone notices...

You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it

You made me
I love you
And do you know that nothing has changed
Now everyone they notice it
Everyone notices..

Sinking In


This is a drag that it's too late now.
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.
I didn't realize I still hold on to you but I still do.
Was it that I turned everyone against you.
Was it that I didn't defend you.
Was it that I never had your back.
Was it that I was always trying to save you and you never wanted me to.
Or was it that I loved you.
You don't seem to see me sinking in do you.
You're not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again don't you.
Don't you baby.
I did it again.
I don't stop paying.
You don't look so good to me my friend.
Is it because of me I really left this time.
Did you ever say goodbye.
Was it that I had a crush on your friend.
Was it that I left for another man.
Was it that I didn't know.
That you were in over your head and I didn't see what I had did I.
No, I didn't and uh.

(Chorus)
You don't seem to see me sinking in do you.
You're not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again don't you.
Don't you baby.

Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass.
I couldn't see through it and you could.
And now look what's come of us here ten years later.
I jump from one to the other, you're still worrying your mother.
And I almost went under baby....

(Chorus)

Lyrics by Lisa Marie Presley

Important


Maybe if I liked being alone
I could give you your life back and let you go.
Maybe if I got it together again I
wouldn’t be belligerent and such a princess.
Maybe the reason I’m so needy is because I never had real devotion.
Maybe I criticized your loyalty because it wasn’t given to me.

(Chorus)
Do you know who I am.
It’s me in here with the doctor and the crowd around me. They are my chosen family.
I guess I’m important, but what about them standing there they can’t get in.
They’re smiling at me,
I guess they’re used to this.

Maybe I’ll stop wondering when I’m gonna die.
Maybe then I’ll stop holding so hard to my life.
Maybe next time
I see my reflection my mind won’t be with me.
Maybe my brutal honesty is only because I can get away with it .
Maybe I’ll squash you relentlessly because you tried to crush me.

(Chorus)
Please get out of my way I don’t like fucking waiting.
You need to bring me my food first I’m not the one you want to starve.
Maybe you think you’re my friend.
Maybe one day you’ll give a shit about what I am.

(Chorus)
I guess you’re not important, but what about you standing there you can’t get in. You’re smiling at me
I guess you’re used to this.

(Chorus)

So Lovely


You know I did something right.
Something that keeps me alive.
Oh you sweet little babies.
When you came you let me know.
I was finally happy.
You knew me before now didn't you.
God you're so lovely.
Did you come here to help me.

And I know you can't sleep well.
Unless I'm right there next to you.
Oh you take care of mommy too.
You're so quick to defend me aren't you.
God you're so lovely yes you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
And I'm gonna try to teach you.
Know you're everything to me.
Know you have to learn and try.
Please don't fear to lose me.
You know I have those same fears too.
..

God you're so lovely yeah you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
Ooh and I'm gonna try to teach you.
Little man and a lady.
So handsome and pretty.
Sometimes don't listen to your mamma no.
And don't do as I do ooh yeag
God you're so lovely yeah you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
Ooh and I'm gonna try to teach you...too

Indifferent


It kind of looks like we won't make it, my friend.
And it looks like you can't take it again, my friend.
And all the pretty roses wilted up and paled themselves away today.
The guillotine of truth has fallen,
somehow I'm the one you blame.

(Chorus)
This can't be happening. Not so fast, I'm so mean.
I can't stay indifferent. Because I know the outcome.
And I'm the target for the daggers.

That the truth's thrown your way, today.
And the next one maybe she'll be easier.
She'll make it go away, hey.
She's still calling you. I'm still calling him.
Can we do this. Here we go again. The package.
The baggage.

(Chorus)
This can't be happening. Not so fast, I'm so mean.
I can't stay indifferent. Because I know the outcome.
This can't be happening. It started out not so clean.
You chose your path. Mine's wrong, you can say that.

Gone


Well, what do we have here Daddy.
The lights are quickly changing.
Will I leave your heart along with the phone lines
you're erasing.
A spineless ending.
Well, who would have guessed dear daddy.
Turned out to be a coward.
When I turned my back you cut my throat it bled for hours.
Was that your power?

You, you're the lovely victim again.
You, well your heart is breaking.
You are the only one let down.
Are you really now.

Well, soon here we'll have dear Daddy
with the next one on her knees.
And she's going to call him daddy like the rest of them,
like me.
How easy it will be replacing me.
And what's that I hear now
Daddy you're blaming it all on me.
Another she did you wrong and of course you had to leave.
And the yes men will agree.
You gave it everything.

You with the advisors in your ear.
You did everything right it's clear.
You know I begged you to stay around.
But I'm gone now.

Well, here's to you my darling leave.
You're stubborn and you're free and of course, I.
I don't respect the way you leave.
You can be no friend to me.
I say, I say Goodbye.

You, your the lovely victim again.
You, well your heart is breaking.
You are the only one let down.
Are you really now?

You with the advisors in your ear,
You did everything right its clear.
You know I begged you to stay around.
But im gone now.

Oh. I'm gone now...


Written by Lisa Marie Presley and Diego Sandrin. Lyrics by Lisa Marie Presley

To Whom It May Concern


If you can't even stop the symptoms.
Then why in the hell do you drug the children.
The others can make their own decisions.
And with some help from you they become dependant.
You should be sorry ‘cause you let them down.
But you become a big part of their lives.
They always trust you but they’re dying out.
I've seen the things you do it blows my mind..
There's a doctor on every campus now.
And he's gonna tell you what you’re feeling.
Momma wants you to swallow this down.
It's gonna make you sit still and listen.
I'm sorry children you don't have the choice.
Your parents gave you something way back when.
There's nothing wrong with you it's easier.
To give you this then you won’t embarrass them.
When there's something wrong take an antidepressant.
You can even choose which kind you want by the latest suicide.
You know you're sorry ‘cause you let them down.
But you become a big part of their lives.
They always trust you but they’re dying out.
The things you do it blows my fucking mind......
