"follow the format" by t.b.s




make a big scene


make this glass house my coffin, you

missed the big picture


but it's the words that you're coughing up


out on your sleeve

so forge my sins here in song


well i'm telling you now


what you've known all along




and it's tired, so true, more


subtle than you, there's

a lull in the stereo


it's calling for you (calling for you)


it's calling for you




well i'm a slave to my vices (it's true)


they've all been (re)

renamed as your crutch


so drag my name and my face through the mud


you're better at confronting me

(you're better at confonting me)


show us just how vicious you can be


do what you came here to do

(do what you came here to do)





trigger, finger

gets you pointed in


the right direction,


my new-found discretion




it's not a lie if you believe it


it's no mistake if it's always repeated

it's not a lie if you believe it






it's no mistake if it's always repeated


it's not a lie if you believe it

it's no mistake if it's always repeated

(shall we call it quits or just wait)


it's not a lie if you believe it

(even, even if my last name rhymes with)


it's no mistake if it's always repeated

(your rescue of hear say, do not say you know)

it's not a lie if you believe it


(call me out, it's such a lie)

it's no mistake if it's always repeated




but i don't need to hear it from you

what's another word for?


i don't need to hear it from you

what's another word for?

i don't need to hear it from you

what's another word for?


don't need to hear it from you



It gets easier with doses of time


(easier with dull sense of time)

easier with doses of time

(easier with dull sense of time)

easier with doses of time


(easier with dull sense of time

easier with doses of time

show us just how vicious you can be to me
