Machinery 03:57
Machinery by Wet & Reckless Lyrics by Emily Wilder Someone said to me, It takes scissors to cut you free It takes a sword to put up a fight And a vise grip to squeeze you at night. Without epoxy to hold it in place, You break down and it shows on your face Just when your head's coming lose You need a screwdriver to put back the screws. Build around our own machinery That pumps blood from our head to our feet Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be Where they shouldn't be. You need a yellow light to make love last If it turns red, then you're just stuck in the past You need satellites to show that you care Cause gas prices won't get you there Sentence years for misunderstood words Locked up in fences, trapped in skyscrapers From up there you can't see the same way So you tear down all the things that you made. Build around our own machinery That pumps blood from our head to our feet Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be Where they shouldn't be. We're humans, we make plans and machines Hands holding tools, building bigger things Stone walls around hearts make them cold Keep in flaws and keep out what we don't know. So break down your chest levee Let sea be where the sea be Lose the difference between you and me Cause we are both trying hard to believe. Build around our own machinery That pumps blood from our head to our feet Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be Where they shouldn't be. We're both trying hard, trying hard to believe That there's pockets of love And there's pockets of good But you got to get hurt. We're both trying hard, trying hard to believe That there's pockets of love And there's pockets of good. But you got to get hurt.

Confetti 03:02
Confetti by Wet & Reckless Lyrics by Emily Wilder What have I gone and done again Got my feet wet in the water But I can't seem to dive in So I'll take to the bottle, Call you up just as a friend Then I'll wake up beside you What have I done again? Walking home from work Passing places I've been before There are traces of broken hearts Like old confetti on the floor Wondering what we could have been And wondering if we could be it again Spent my whole life untwisting the knife My own hand on my heart I was nobody's wife Stop taking chances after broken romances You need tokens and slot machines to do the you-and-me routine While I was busy, sitting safe and pretty, Time just passed me by Walking home from work Passing places I've been before There are traces of broken hearts Like old confetti on the floor Running in circles to the ends of the town Trying to trick the earth from spinning around Need time to stand still or turn back the hands Rewind till the hour-glass is blind to the sands Sun keeps on rising and I'm still in bed I can see the horizon, but it lives in my head What have I gone and done again? Instrumental You're at home, with your heart on your sleeve Trying to rip it to rags, but you still believe That I'll come around I will give in And I know if I did, my new life would begin Got to say goodbye to my childlike eyes Got sit back and tie my hands up in twist-ties The more time I spend waiting to begin I keep getting closer to the end Walking home from work Passing places I've been before There are traces of broken hearts Like old confetti on the floor What have I gone and done again Got my feet wet in the water But I can't seem to dive in So I'll take to the bottle, Call you up just as a friend And I'll wake up beside you What have I done again?

Suicide Mission by Wet & Reckless Lyrics by Emily Wilder It's a suicide mission, Driving on a license with suspension It's a suicide mission And I've done enough with my life not to miss it. Don't even remember what year it is Dropped you off drunk at a bar in Los Feliz. Headed for the 5 and in my mind, I'm picking fights Blame it on my best friend, I don't even trust green lights So I'll wait here And not move on. No one is expecting me at home, No one's calling hospitals or waiting by the phone So I'll put myself to bed without a pillow for my head Guess I'll go and visit bones of ancestors instead I won't wait here, And I'll move on. It's a suicide mission, Driving on a license with suspension It's a suicide mission And I've done enough with my life not to miss it. So I won't use the crosswalk When I'm walking cross the street I won't use a wristwatch When I'm counting my heartbeat I won't tell the doctor, I'm allergic to bee stings Decide it's for arthritis and I'll end this whole damn thing. I won't wait here And I'll move on. Pull my mind out of the murk Find my way out of wood work Asked to be reimbursed for all the drugs I took Got my head in the sand They got my arms like rubber bands Staging interventions just to change up my plans To move on So I can't move on. It's a suicide mission, Driving on a license with suspension It's a suicide mission And I've done enough with my life not to miss it. Get our heads out of our habits Cause people care we breathe In and out, the world without We lose the ones we leave Cross-eyed at best without an ounce of good rest Burning candles at both ends I guess bridges are next So you can move on And I'll move on.

Best Night 04:50
Best Night by Wet & Reckless Lyrics by Emily Wilder Said it was the best night you ever had It's the one I can't remember But hey, that's not so bad You can tell me all about it now that I'm here I'll never drink whiskey again, I'll just stick to beer. Said we cut out of the club with your arms around me Took a different exit to protect us from paparazzi Go figure, waited forever for an LA taxi That is when you said you first kissed Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. Said we got on a bus, had to get off real fast The driver wasn't having us, not having any cash Then you held me through skid row Pointed to a building, told me that was home. And you asked if I could make it that far Once we got there, we could take your car. Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. Unaccountable hands and second hands Spun around since we left the bar I came to holding onto you At the Pacific Dining Car For the first time that night, I finally laid my eyes on you You had known me already But for me, you were something new. Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. Said you found me out, said you found me out Said you found my heart when the lights blacked out. It didn't really matter, the details were gathered. And put back into the scene, Of the best night you ever had And the best story told to me. So tell it to me.
