Guess the artist, I'll give you props!

I know this is basicly a "Copy and Paste battle" But guess the artist and I'll give you the amount of props I say Before the lyrics start
1.
(4) Show me how to lie
your getting better all the time
and turning all against one
is an art thats hard to teach
Another clever word
sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back in the line
The mob jumps to their feet
2.
(3) Im loseing ground
and you know how this world can beat you down
I'm made of clay
I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way
I'm always falling down the same hill
Bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place
3.
(2)We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
4.
(1)She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
