I wouldn't try if I were you When you get up where you belong You won't be up there for long I've made up my mind so get a clue When you get up where you belong You won't be up there for long I wouldn't try if I were you I've made up my mind so get a clue When you get up where you belong You won't be up there for long

You've got the perfect kind of face Perfectly innocent I'd say We're all capable of things that our faces don't betray And on any given day You can be caught quite unaware What was comfort turns to pain with a cold and guilty stare But I fought for us I fought for you When the chips were down and scattered And I thought I knew what mattered and We'd see it through You told me that you felt sick And in the very next breath You had met somebody else And you could not hide the fact You told me that you were confused Just like some bad sitcom line It doesn't matter, doesn't matter 'Cause I know that I'll be fine But I fought for us I fought for you When the chips were down and scattered And I thought I knew what mattered and We'd see it through And so you, you let me go And that's the way that it went Maybe you didn't know That over means over means over It's really over You've got the perfect kind of face The kind that I cannot replace And if I could you know I would not take back The time I spent with you Chorus

Hangman 01:46
Chorus: We're playing hangman yeah Every time we meet Filling in the blanks It can be dangerous Hangman yeah Every time we meet Filling in the blanks Like laying dynamite There's a white flag flying Waving in the breeze That doesn't mean That this is over Now you send your best man under cover Every moment counts This code needs breaking Chorus Now boys will be boys Girls will do what they do Epic battles play in the smallest moments Do you bury your head further in the sand Do you stick out your neck? I might get broken Oh! How do we achieve... That's one thing that we... Oh! a certain peace? That's one thing that we need. Chorus

This is how the worker sings Ah ah! This is how the worker sings in his head, in his head. This is how the worker sings Ah ah! At his desk At the screen Staring off into space… This is how the worker sings Ah ah! Chorus: Take me anywhere Take me home Take me anywhere Take me out Take me anywhere I don’t care at all Just get me out of here This is how the worker sings Ah ah! This is how the worker sings in his head, in his head. This is how the worker sings Ah ah! Construction site At a hault Just step off And take the fall This is how the worker sings Ah ah! Chorus Bridge Chorus

Breakdown 03:56
Now you know Everything that lies Cold as snow Underneath this night You’d take the blame If it could make me whole It’s my shame To carry on my own Chorus: I can barely face myself In the mirror every day Now the sun Shining everyday Can’t see the light And I can’t find a way I can’t let go But I can’t hold on Now that’s the contradiction My addiction Bottom’s up and blown Chorus: I can barely face myself In the mirror every day But it’s my life It’s my pain It’s my face It’s myself that I don’t know … It’s my life

Control Your Anger All that phony strength you had Swinging bats and breaking necks The truth is out and now you’re leaking Plug the holes but keep on sinking! Chorus: Control your anger The lion’s loose now bring him back, yeah Control your anger The lion’s loose now bring him back you say Windows to the soul and sixth sense These things can be quite a mess How does a person handle it? Chorus Bridge: And oh these eyes these crying eyes And oh these times these trying times And all I do is think of you Break Chorus
7.
Guillotine 02:57
Guillotine When the guillotine drops You’re gonna lose your mind When the big blade falls You’re gonna lose your eyes When the needle drops You’re gonna lose your senses When the guillotine falls You’re gonna bleed your menses Chorus: Ah ah! Let ‘em all eat cake! Ah ah! Let ‘em all eat cake! Then make me some more! When the guillotine falls You’re gonna lose your mind When the big blade falls You’re gonna lose your sight When the needle drops You’re gonna lose your senses Chorus Break Chorus
8.
What Matters Most If you leave You can take the money If you leave You can take the house If you leave You can take the TV If you leave No more cat and mouse Chorus: ‘Cause you can never have The thing that matters most And you can never take The thing that really counts That really counts If you leave You can take the pictures If you leave You might get the ring Lie awake When you take that empty bed I won’t be there To quiet what’s in your head Chorus Outro

I Finally Know Myself Do you remember Everything that happens In your life? Is your brain like a hard drive? Or a greatest hits collection? Some things you will dismiss, like… Everything I’ve known Everything I’ve felt I am I am Now I remember Everything that happened New year’s day Lost my grip upon this plain Would you say I went insane? Or that it makes sense? With everything I’ve known Everything I’ve felt I am I am Oh I know I know Myself

Bonnie Blue 02:47
Through these eyes that see you You are looking at your favorite part of me You sparkle like the sun that's glinting Off the surface of the water I am swimming in it Diving into the deep pool of our love Diving under seeing beauty Seeing all the beauty of our love Hold on to this feeling for as long We can hold each other It goes on and on and on... Let's make it how we've made it Cross the bridge that takes me Straight to your heart Building on the the building of how Every day falls into the next one You'll take me to where I take you We are taken with each other Diving under seeing beauty Seeing all the beauty of our love

How it Ends 03:52
You can’t look me in the eye And tell me it’s alright It’s a promise lying broken now If you could take it back But then again you can’t In spite of all we had and lost Chorus: This is how it ends You’re giving back the ring This is how it ends And there’s nothing I can do It’s not the how or why That’s of consequence in time We don’t know how it all plays out And when you look inside The wound may grow or die The difference is hard to know without hindsight Chorus Break Chorus

about

Deadly Boards Games is a bicoastal band. Before founding member Dan Paquin moved to the west coast in 2010, DBG recorded these 11 songs in one weekend at Beauty Hill Studio in Barrington, New Hampshire. The songs were then further massaged at Dan's home studio. Only took another couple of years to find the right person (Ryan Yurada) to mix and master the tracks and give them that extra shine.
