clever got me this far
then tricky got me in
I am what i'm after
I don't need another friend
smile and drop the cliche
'till you think im listening
I take just what i came for
then im out the door again

peripheral long the package
don't care to settle in
time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
comfort is a mystery
crawling out of my own skin
just give me what i came for, then i'm out the door again

lie to get what i came for
lie to get just what i need
lie to get what i crave
lie and smile to get what's mine

I am what im after
I don't need another friend
nod and watch your lips move
if you need me to pretend
because clever got me this far
then tricky got me in
I'll take just what i came for
then im out the door again

lie to get what I came for
lie to get what I need now
lie to get what I'm craving
lie and smile to get what's mine

give this to me
mine, mine, mine
take what's mine
mine, mine, mine
take what's mine
mine, mine, mine

lie to get what I came for
lie to get what I need now
lie to get what I'm craving
lie to smile and get what's mine

give this to me
take what's mine
mine, mine, mine
take what's mine
give this to me

take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
this is mine, mine, mine (whispered)

What a kickass song. I love the whole thing, especially when the heavier guitar kicks in.

This song is a letdown and disgrace of Keenan's vocals.

This is a damn good song. Great vocals from Maynard... some people just can't appreciate good music.

ok first of all who ever says this song is a disgrace to maynards vocals is an idiot and you obviously have never seen it played live...i saw them play two nights ago and this song was absolutely amazing and maynards vocals were unbelievable...so you really need to learn what your talkin about before you deside to post something that stupid...your a disgrace

Cool drum background, i like how it goes from soft melody to heavy, and then back.

This is my favorite song by APC. I can't describe how much I really like this song. Maynard's voice is amazing... and I don't quite understand why someone would say otherwise, but it is just my opinion. It's very melodic and still loud as any other APC track. Beautifully done song.
