Out of all the fights we’ve been through
Can’t think of one that seems to make any sense
It’s just that sometimes I misunderstand you
And I jump into a state of defense

And there seems to be something between us
Hard to forget and it’s hard to see through
But I guess that this feeling is mutual:
You suspect me of what I’m scared of you’ll do

Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s pretend I forgot
Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s get sick and throw up

And what I’ve been meaning to ask you
What makes us feel that we need to compete?
Is it that parents, teachers and assholes
Set us up to make up for their needs?

Using us to march for their battles
Yeah, to fight their petty old wars
Like two nameless and unknown soldiers
For what it’s worth: I ain’t marching anymore

Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s pretend I forgot
Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s get sick and throw up

Clean our thoughts and purify ourselves
It means a lot, to purify… ourselves

Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s pretend I forgot
Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s get sick and throw up

Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s pretend I forgot
Let’s kiss and make up
Let’s get sick and throw up

Let’s kiss and make up

Try to love instead of hate
I tell myself each and every day
With all the stuff that comes my way
Got my inner world to circumnavigate

And I think of all the faces
And I think of all that lies behind… what lies behind

Cynical boy I used to be
Me black and white I used to see
Skinny dip in negativity
A frustrated man is never truly free

And I tumble back and forth
Yeah, I… between these thoughts that I… I can’t seem to shake off

It’s what you radiate
Heed the call, but refuse the bait
It’s what you radiate
I can see right through your armoured plate

It speaks louder than words
What’s inside’ll come first

There’s something about you I can’t explain
What I see and sense is not the same
You’re expecting me to wait in vain
For your to drop the mask and quit the game

And I think of all the faces
And I think of all that lies behind… the lies behind

It’s what you radiate
Heed the call, but refuse the bait
It’s what you radiate
I can see right through your armoured plate
It’s what you radiate
Heed the call, but refuse the bait
All that you radiate
I can see right through your phoney charade

It speaks louder than words
What’s inside’ll come first

I don’t feel particularly well
Television is a living hell
All that surrounds me, bewildered and mad
Sticks and smells, is dirty or dead

I sit and wait, too numb to act
Too stressed to start, as a matter of fact
A nervous wreck, I’m ill at ease
Guess I’m waiting for the pressure to cease

And you, you wanna help me through
It’s hard to share these things with you
Yeah, I regret that too

I don’t feel entirely well
Life floats by as far as I can tell
I’m wasting time at a pace like this
Faking life in a place like this

Smile away, say it’s no big deal
I’d be hiding what I truly feel
I’d be honest if I wasn’t so scared
I’d be open if I knew you cared

But you, you wanna help me through
It’s hard to share these things with you
And you, there’s not that much you can do
It’s hard to express my thoughts to you
Yeah, I regret that too

Alone, alone in my room
I never leave my room
I’m stranded in this room
