No one can stop it all from crashin' down to shit Push to feel something more than just the sound of it Time, time is the magic truth of storing Sometimes, magic is so very, very boring It's a healthy kind of sick A slow sort of quick I'm very sad I don't feel bad at all It's a different sort of same A crazy sort of same A feeling without a name that they call love Because I have my doubts, I know it must be true Watch the dreamed eye every day I don't know what to do I know it's only fear that makes me wonder But I wonder why I'm so afraid
No one's ever looked at you and seen right through so I can level anything I want Oh, a smile fades a lie Meanwhile, I choose to foreknow Ghosting, X and Y Please leave me alone in the land of crayons I know soon I'll forget who I am so Sound even swirl Is not really anything
My soul mate is a special girl A girl that's just like me She'll share tremendous oral sex And try everything she sees She won't be insane or hung-up Like most other girls I'll worship her until it hurts 'Cuz she's on top of my world Ooh, I'm a sad man I can't ignore what life can hold for me And I'll probably have to have sex with a lot of girls Before my soul mate reveals herself to me You are sweet diversion As I stomp my darker way Don't let your heart get out of hand I'll step on it someday Maybe it's too sad to mention Maybe I am gay A moment or two may shine I'm sure to quickly fade away Ooh, it's a sad life Sometimes little sweet girls get left behind But baby, baby, baby, it's a man's life And I gotta tear up everything I find
There's a thin road in the country. Carry all you bring. Rendezvous with the devil's girl. The old man will try to sing. Couldn't take the pressure. Couldn't take the drugs. The passage of forgiveness, Lined with ladybugs. Couldn't take the pressure. Couldn't take the drugs. The passage of forgiveness, Lined with ladybugs.
Close enough to further way, hey, hey Close enough to further way And in this house I choose to stay, hey, hey And in this house I choose to stay And in this house I choose to stay, hey
True hardcore is hard to find Takes the peaceful selfish kind To realize where the power lies in music The beauty may be hard to take Pray it's not the evil fake There's always time to change your mind And still be very true Always will be true Like evergreens in wintertime Or elks around are sleeping, dying True hardcore is forever young True hardcore is left undone Someone who has always known it Someone who has never lost it And as the others act so strange You've had the strength to never change I'm still a selfish asshole
Julienne Never thought I was man enough Julienne Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff Julienne Exotic butt, American eyes Julienne Sucked in by a spinning shine Julienne My shoulders were in front of you Julienne I used to think I was in love with you Julienne Share the slip by the pottery whip Julienne Scared to talk of the way I feel Julienne Meanest voice, call me once a year (?) Julienne A beautiful girl who's nice and weird. Who talks to me about other guys, And cuts my ego down to size.
Are you ready? - I'm ready - 1 2 3 ... Instrumental Looking for solid brown
I feel disconnected like I don't know where I am Things will be OK they say, but they don't understand The wait of every word that must mean everything Don't mean anything, put me down again I think and think 'til I feel fried and hope it goes away They don't listen unless it's special secrets first to say No one knows, no one cares and no one knows the way Unless of course you fall in love and everything is gray Everything is gray I want something, something very true Something worth my while, something special to do Every word, people push for love People push and shove, people far above You are my dream love Peoples' narrow stories killing love
I woke her up today and I heard her up inside Feeling something has to burn, it's much too big to hide I dreamt the bridge was you And I was scared to walk it, too Thought I'd fall right through, but I'm Now I'm trapped in bed lookin' up at you
In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine And our friends are all on board Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine As we live a life of ease (A life of ease) Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need) Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green) In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha) We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
Your time is up little man... There's a man running up your streets From his belt hangs dead parakeets He holds that big old club real tight He holds a wrench and a very sharp knife Your time is up little man Down, down, down with the club Drown, drown, drown in your blood Can't take a piss he's here Can't watch TV he's here He'll fucking bash your precious little head, Little Man He's beating you with his club He's stabbing red hot pain into your thigh, Little man
Crying on your shoulder, I'm headed for Boulder Rather take the train; got no money to pay Sleep in a boarding house, soup in a can Wayward winds they blow me, here and there were the same Sleep in a boarding house, soup in a can Wayward winds they blow me, here and there were the same
Believe, I've got a reason to be around. My hearts been hanging, lost and found. Living, so scary. So human and low. Confusing existence, Something I don't know. Is there something I don't know? Sitting on the end, so tense, I think I'll cry.
Coming 'round to drain me more Numbs me down to the core And I hide behind a wall of doubt Wanna know what you're all about Twisting, everything is fine In the hole inside your mind
I waited for you No one helped me through I can't believe in you And nothing is true Following you around Shoveling through our problems I don't hate myself for being so dumb I'm totally back and you're doing that I can't fuckin' stand I can't fuckin' stand this confusing shit I can't fuckin' stand
1 2 3 I love me I love me I love me I love me I love me Can't you see 1 2 3 I love me I love me Can't you see 1 2 3 I love me I love me Can't you see 1 2 3 I love me I love me
My name is Lou and I'm here to say Every sound that rebounds always rhymes my way Controlling the crackle of the fact The levels read, 'I'm a white noise addict' My voice is [Incomprehensible], nothing stays The melody has run away But listening to sludge can really pass the fudge I'm gonna be a star one day
Well I'm acting like a guy who just knows 'Cuz I'm lookin' for a punch in the nose I'm just lookin' for a punch in the nose You can be my best friend Or at least you can pretend I'm not lookin' for a punch in the nose If I say everything stinks It's 'cuz I'm bobbling for my own link Pray not lookin' for a punch in the nose (?) I'm not lookin' for a punch in the nose
Can't think twice about the way I feel No one on Earth can stop the wheel There's an awful sound when you push me down Pin my shoulders to the ground You're so insane to close the door on me When you know everyone is going to see Things are all strewn about, can't figure out Wanna tear me apart, make a new start But you sneak on in to kick me in the shin
My girl's tired, she's shaking at me Just watch kid cry, jumping beans Little kiss, broken teeth And I feel that I should pull Painted grass, unseen waste Every day I've seen she's poutin' on the face She can try on my mind but I gotta kick ya out You could but she cried and you can't go back Feel like a pawn when we screw So if ya wanna split, it's up to you Peas, porridge hot Peas, porridge cold Peas, porridge in the pot nine days old Peas, porridge in the pot nine days old Girl's tired Loose 'n' screw Don't be so picky
I got out of school today Got my car loan and drove away Inside my mind there is a fair With no games or exhibits I'm just a young man who doesn't give a shit
Strong evil, sanest feeling gone Tried in vain Normal evil, commonplace for good Forever, ever wasted I deal the torture for feeling never real Itâ? s an easy cut for him to deal Never say a word or hurt him now so heâ? ll know Coolest term, the phrase â? Never Evilâ? Normal, good and easy-minded Wasted as I try to find a jealous evil Iâ? m not jealous, Iâ? m not in love with myself Iâ? m not next to some saint, itâ? s just not good for your health Iâ? m not jealous, Iâ? m not in love with myself Iâ? m not wrapped up in myself
A troubled baby's raised on moldy bread Abusing mind-fuck drugs softening my head Out of control, energy on the ground Christ slips on ice, all falls crowned Digging ourselves deeper into holes Becoming blind to our dirty souls Careless, my name
Made real the time, it's a wonder at all Creature's ears up to the wall Fold it over, try to get it inside I like to shake for awhile Watch as it flails like a Burning Man Try to catch me if you can Catch me if you can Got some, a vicious sight I hate the day and I love the night Got some and my woman is tight I fuckin' hate the day and I love the night
It's too bad. It's too far gone. Talks to much to ask. Not that anything went wrong, It's always been this way. No one could believe, How possible it's turning out to be. Left for dead, But It's always been this way. Doesn't mean that I'm retarded. It means I am bored. Bored with your embarrassment. Bored with your lack of confidence. Bored, but always sincere. Everyone acts so weird around me. Neurotic just stumble around me. Asking for things, that I can't give. It's too bad. I hate it now. The words I never said. Ancient anger, My bitter selfishness. Some people just can't to each other. It's a fact that I can't reset. I hate you now. I'll hate you yet. I know its all your fault.
Now's the time, To lay it on the line. Though I'm still uptight, It kind of feels right. Much to young to die. Not to proud to cry. Sometimes we fight, All through the night. You know our sex Has lost its fight. Don't want to wine, But I don't like your design. Terrible line, Other girls on my mind. Know what to do, So please don't cry Kiss away the help, Before we say goodbye.
Use the power as you will take me in in or leave me be anything you need No, I never had a clue I never dared to bother you or ever cared to know I won't wait for justice, justice doesn't live I don't expect respect I know you're too hung up to give I only want it dead in my mind, wash it from my life It's embarrassing to see, I'm out for empty victory, it's just not cool or free Let this be the last I say, let the anger fade no one wants to hear it I wasn't sick or evil I don't know why I cared You twisted my intention, I don't know why I care There's no such thing as justice, I don't know what I've learned I tried to play your game, I don't know why I cared I tried to make it work, I don't know why I cared Why, why don't you like me, how did everything get so fucked up
Greeting my extreme if the wait is true It's so scary to see it unhealthy or lost It's no one savior convinced and stupid and its slow to learn Never nowhere greeting my extreme if the wait is true It means nothing, a joke to see right thru if you're smart It's no one savior holy is absurd This time its beyond convincing and its slow to learn Everyone is insane, I guess I had to go But I was on your side, I guess you'll never know Oh my brother we wish you well Brotherhood of cancer mind Brothers of denial, rot in hell
God's given us years of happiness here Now we must part And as the angels come and call for you The pains of grief tug at my heart Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey Oh the days will be empty The nights so long without you my love And when god calls for you I'm left alone But we will meet in heaven above Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways That on earth we trod And when I come we will walk hand in hand As one in heaven in the family of god Oh my darling My darling My heart breaks as you take your long journey
On my way to temporary dream On my way to temporary dream Temporary dream On my way to temporary dream On my way to temporary dream Temporary, temporary, temporary dream
There's a lie we've been living through Think you're all alone, it's not quite true No one cares, 'cuz no one should Everything you see was meant to be misunderstood Safe & sound, so safe & sound Move your body back and forth and round & round And all my friends are killing me, all my friends are killing me All my friends are killing me; I think I'm a genius
Little man, you are too impatient to understand This hateful world It's twisting you right through another girl Please slow down Let's help to find the secret of yourself Please believe you owe it to yourself to worship me I know a mystery or two A natural order always leaves a place for you I choose to gather strength from most what I see I live to give to you but you don't give enough to me Remember this, I possess a subtle holy gift I'm always here, never changing, scared and half-sincere I'm obsessed to share with you the noise that I love best Let me in, then we'll sing together just like friends Do do do do do do
You make your words so nice I'm waiting you to name a price One will walk along Praying as you sing your song Way and winters upon the season You baby to me so right, would it be out of reason? You're me and my mouth; you know to my size of treason (?) The breezes went in their way to May Ride the darker wave Hello tomorrow today Ride the darker wave Hello tomorrow today
I'm so jealous of Jesus He's all to the world He could be Everybody wants to dance with Jesus Nobody wants to dance with me Hey, hey, yeah Girls just waiting for Jesus Hey, little girl, all alone Hey, little girl, all alone Hey, little girl, all alone Everybody wants to dance with Jesus
Fooled in subtle majesty A truer lonely blue inside Some friends are safe to leave behind Giving peace enough to hide behind Needlessly weak, a waste in real time Grow from selfish little boy to feeding evil little man Some friends never understand Weaker friends don't deserve your hand Stretch it deeper 'till you cry Wisdom kills me open wide See beneath our simple ploy This wisdom kills me every time A true beauty deep inside Justice of the darkest kind
Eyes never close, little head never stops Naked little no-man with a whisper in his walk and hand Wait, I'm afraid to ask your name I'd kill myself just to prove it to you A narrow little girl who looks a lot like you at the scene I'm afraid to break this shadow Pretty girl, you crack the gate that leads to hell Pretty girl, you crack the gate that leads to hell
It's so hard to fall in love Knowin' all I know Seeing all the things I see Maybe I should crawl away for awhile Maybe I shouldn't have smiled so much Who's the one with the killing secret? The stupid little boy with the killing crush Count the times that you looked away Thinking over and over Every word we had to say Now I know what I wanted Another chance to reach too high Nothing will last forever and ever I'm just next in a long, long line The closest thing to me I've ever seen
Restless eyes close Maybe it'll go away Please rest tomorrow Bring a satisfying day The restless urge of love That's worth the burning for Surely it's that one can see Love to give you more Any thought could be the beginning Of the brand new tangled web you're spinning Anyone could be your brand new love Any tithe that holds can be broken Tear your bitter world to the open Anyone can be your brand new love You won't be the first Twisted change is normal Gossip dirt Whispered to the nodding head Thrilled you fell apart Instead of them They will And they hope your love can be killed If you meet a different face It's definite time to destroy this place Any thought could be the beginning Of the brand new tangled web you're spinning Anyone could be your brand new love Follow what you feel You alone decide what's real Anyone can be your brand new love
You were right I was battling you, trying to prove myself I tried to bury you with guilt; I wanted to prove you wrong I've got nothing better to do than pay too much attention to you It's sad, but it's not your fault Self-righteous and rude I guess I lost that cool Tapping 'til I drive you insane I'm self-righteous, but never right So laid back, but so uptight Destroying your patience to tolerate me With all the negative spirit I bring Right, I was obsessed to bring you down Watching your every move Playing a little-boy game Always with something to prove Waiting to cut you down, making it hard to live With only one thing to do Cut me first, make it easy Now you will be free Now that nothing depends on me Tapping 'til I drive you insane Now you will be free With no sick people tugging on your sleeve Your big head has that "more room to grow" A glory I will never know A glory I will never know
All I need is one true friend I want total peace of mind To leave the hurting world behind I'm not scared; I swear I'm free It may collapse the fear That burns to bring the worst from me Much too smart to sound uptight Not to cheat what I deserve Nothing hidden and nothing wasted So far from dead, frustrated Too smart to ask for more This is all I've waited for Nothing hidden and nothing wasted Nothing past the love I've tasted It's wrong but right; magic change I finally hurt to live on up to this name Not right; it never changes When finally hurt to live on up to this thing
Oh I woke up tonight I said I I've gotta make somebody love me I've gotta make somebody love me And now I know, now I know, now I know, I know that is you You're lucky lucky you're so lucky Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Want to go where I've never let you before Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Want to go where I've never let you before? Well he's a friend and he's so proud of you He's a friend and I knew him before you, oh yeah Well he's a friend and we're so proud of you Your famous friend, well I blew him before you, oh yeah Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Want to go where I've never let you before? Well here we are at the transmission party I love your friends they're all so arty, oh yeah Oh I when woke up tonight I said I've gotta make somebody love me I've gotta make somebody love me And now I know, now I know, now I know, I know that is you You're lucky lucky, you're so lucky Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Well do ya? do ya do ya want to? Want to go where I've never let you before? You're lucky lucky, you're so lucky Lucky lucky, you're so lucky Lucky lucky, you're so lucky Lucky lucky, you're so lucky Lucky lucky, you're so lucky Lucky lucky, you're so lucky Yeah
Trailing on next to sick Only broken magic sticks Evil pins never snare Figured out how to get nowhere Flying lead-filled flapping gills Phantom God in frozen time Comfort crawls into flight Wait for men grown, thunder dyin' Free toes roost on dancing wire Puzzling out a selfish high Commandment of meadow mouse Kiss the ground, lift up the house Wrapped in blankets of the mother's skin Perpetuate a freedom But there's nowhere to begin Bind one sky, ground to soil No one could care how your blood is boiling Grab a rubber needle, try to stick someone Needle is inverted to a rotten heart Simple, plain and simple Stars for eyes He's eager and overripe His tongue gets tied Weakened by a mighty blow Scars, four eyes A limping "fell to stupid man" Whose tongue is tied
Make it easy and I'll hold it against you I'm on a string dangled right in front of you Make it hard and I'll run away Keep tomorrow as I kill today Trying to figure just what I deserve Slashing lines all across the earth Patience only makes the dream come true Everything I see I hold to you Tell me, this is it— The Truly Great Thing The love you've hoped to find Any doubt will simply wipe itself out As we're rising deeper the first and last time Lift me up and drop me down again Every day I feel confusion, pain Love is what we've all been waiting for Something powerful to smash it all apart Can't love if you're locked up tight The dream of perfection, nothing ever seems right All the world will tell you, "You're all wrong" Big big deal if you're wrong This is it— The Truly Great Thing The love you've hoped to find Any doubt will simply wipe itself out To rising deeper the first and last time
I'm so glad I waited for this Every nervous moment worth it Every anxious wave rode through To find me lying safe with you All too right Righteous coward, chicken-head waiting for a storm in paradise Push, whine, push To gripe to her at me We killed the jealous; killed the judgment right I'm so glad the wait is through I'm so glad I waited for you
It's no drama or a hurting kind of love that never gives I've got a sister with an open mind And the sweetest urge Whisper, fight it; a bed for me (?) Warmth rising to share with me Not damaged; a restless love or just wasting time? The wait has been satisfied I'm not jerkin' to lose my mind again I'm not smart enough to fake it No fool could fake a feeling this good C'mon girl, let's walk through this perverted world A few times; it's too insane A "no-trust monster" stomping in my brain Broken solid; solid shattered Forgot it forever and ever and ever... Slow down to a loving pace To the place I'd rather be A special sister love inside of me (could be killed?)
Sometimes we walk hand-in-hand by the sea And we breathe in the cool salty air You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare Then your lips cling to mine It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, My Love Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill And we gaze at the earth and the sky I turn to you and you melt in my arms Here we are darling, only you and I For a moment to share It's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful, My Love The world is full of wondrous things, its true But they wouldn't have much meaning without you Some quiet evening I sit by your side And we're lost in a world of our own I feel the glow of your arms holding love I'm aware of the treasure that I own And I say to myself, "It's wonderful, wonderful" Oh, so wonderful, My Love
I'm moving on; plowing through A violent landscape Candlelight, oh, Devil Bride Crisp until you break Well I give so the ranks in fear (?) You could not mystify Limb by limb I'll feed you in I, the Serpent in the Tide From haunted dreams her bloke did speak, "To expand is to slay!" A tunnel to infinity, dazzling all the way Radiant matter's bouncing out; thunder purified Truer than sides, sees the lie Laughter in the sky There's a cry ringing out o'er land and sea Star-crossed our weary hearts Absorbed for light, he set us free WALK SO WEAK, TOO STONED TO SPEAK I KEEP IT TO MYSELF DON'T FUCK WITH ME, I'M HOVERING I'M HIGHER THAN HELL
If you just wanna smoke a bowl of the finest homegrown No matter where you're coming from You can find my man there on the street You can find a man that'll peddle and you meet Weed makes you feel happy when you're feeling down Oh, yeah Weed even makes you smile when there's no one around Oh, yeah It's the weed that makes you sing when you're... Half-asleep, you can sing... Bored and nothing to do We sit In a Beat up old Chevy He'll tell ya; he'll tell He'll tell ya Yeah, he'll tell ya Yeah, I guess he'll tell ya No problem
Hey, little girl how long's it been? The air is thick and you're still thin My mind is blank so fill me in What kind of trouble I've got myself in Black-haired gurl, head full of lies The truth is all up to you tonight I read the letters that you sent Your perfume well won't catch me again Oooooh, hoooooooo-oh You don't care until you compete For the affection that you cheat I read the letters that you sent Your perfume well won't catch me again Oooooh Hey, little girl how long's it been? The air is thick and you're still thin My mind is blank so fill me in What kind of trouble I've got myself in now
Hoppin' up and down smilin' at the ground I don't like no one 'round here Everywhere wandering eyes Stab me through paranoid sides What are the odds, what are the rules? Jumped around so quick At a snicker, at a flinch Back against the ropes in a stupid joke Time to toast Time to mourn Time to mourn
You know she's lost her mind for good this time Every thought's dragged around with a weight behind She sees herself in need of repair Maybe someone'll help her lay her soul down bare If you see the patient never compromising Short of wonder, I wouldn't be surprised Her lilac breath reminds me of you She gives a sign, doesn't mind being stalked Tension dissolves, she's taking off her socks Draws in the sky, doesn't mind me at all Curls up and away then the line dissolves Without hesitation I sail the course Exploration, a supernatural force White eyes grow at what I detect Pulling us both into the pretend Glorious connection due to end Advertising innocence floating in the air Unearth the seed, blew it up and it scattered everywhere
We're not here to crawl away Or find blame for wasted time Straight or high is not wasted time Feeling true in poor Paranoiaville Excuses are so easy When any jerk could push you down We got reason to learn how Trust any reason to rise now Turn your weakness on itself (?) Not right for you It's all right with me to fight with my friends When faith is near impossible And trust just isn't practical It's all right with me to feed on my friends You know what, he's got nothing to say They just wanna be rich and say, "Fuck those groups who get the 4 star" (?) Nothing could be better—A rockstar Blood-stained avant-garde popstar Peace doesn't underpush; exploit science, spacejam rockstar Rockstar Rockstar Rockstar Trust any reason to rise now Don't let the simple truth bring you down Money brings freedom, brings a new day Trust any reason; get rich, crawl away Faith is near impossible Trust just isn't practical It's not right for me to feed on my friends
I feed on you; you feed on me When we agree, it's good to be bold When you act frightened, I'll make you feel stupid 'Cuz nothing's more stupid than thinking I'm evil But if you smile then I'll smile, too There's nothing better to do I'm just me-- listen to me A old All-American original You're down in the mind And don't say I don't see You're treating me badly; it's pulling me downmind Can't bring me downmind, sorry-sack downmind You're not an only fully true sad man Though I may seem a flaming total bitch I'm a special friend I'm just me-- listen to me A old All-American original You're not the cool-cool You're just a scared fool Thinking I'm evil and sure of your sickness Sick just to follow; follower gutless Mistaken for goodness And pulling me downmind Down in the mind; you're sick in the soul You're treating me nicely; it's pulling me downmind I'm just me-- listen to me A old All-American original
Post-hardcore, pre-apocalyptic, science-fiction, drone-loving Renaissance Man Oh, what is true? What is real? No bullshit, brother Pot-smokin' Renaissance Man Wasted effort to stand up Real things happen when you're down Soulcore worship, whirling sound Brother, make a list, pierce your dick Future tribal-thought & rebel, greedy Renaissance Man Backbeat bloody conviction Power-sludge storm suckin' down Violence is cool, one of two things real Violence is free for all; live for revenge, ideal Don't wimp out; kill the pig There is no doubt; kill the pig Post-hardcore, hardass, intellectual Drone-loving Renaissance Man
This land is very small A bum scrawl with people crawl (?) America's the greatest way I'm counting thoughts; I'm counting days Well I know it's true, 'cuz God told me to tell it to you I know it's true; a God told me to tell it to you This metal cuts my skin America has eaten my cousin Green boots and a hard green helmet I feel so bad 'cuz I'm left and spent I know it's true, 'cuz God told me to tell it to you (X2) A God told me to tell it to you (X4)
Now's the time to melt to walls Needles and pins and a voodoo doll With you I'll gladly overdose One march to snow, the heavens know Bring me through your please-me groove (?) Lost, bitter, pain is flowing through She's just a flower choked by weeds I've got to try to cure my need Obsessed with selection, I'm a boy with horns An eyeful of reflection, I know no form Change the infusion, do it alone Land jeeps stammering, disrupt the flow Close to death, foolish and trashed Heart drawn in ashes; drink down another glass I wish that I couldn't stand We could put this cyclone in a trance Believe you angelic one, my nerves are tried I aim to conquer and divide I see the holy picture to know Maybe a werewolf chewin' on your bones Wondering forever, uncertain of my health Like me I saw you hiding, drowning in yourself Scrambling my heart, trembling a laugh You can't fool me; you're no pussycat
I used to be an angry guy But I've grown beyond that now I'm gonna be somebody's baby tonight As long as I'm singing and that big bell keeps on ringing I'm sure my life outside is out of sight No more homosexual hassles Life among the grownups is in full swing But I'm not a swinger forever I fully desire what I already have No more psychosexual battles Life above the hung-up is my new thing And I'm gonna keep it together I'm a walking invitation But no one invites me I want to be excited But no one will excite me No one dare invite me 'cuz I'm waiting for you No one could excite me any more than you Still inside, I'm a healthy blue 'Cuz I'm not complete with these thoughts of you Nothing satisfies me when I'm thinking of you No one could excite me any more than you I have the truth, I held you Loved you so sincere Through all the shit-stained curtains Our love was really quite clear But all that you left me is the empty need But I hurt you more evil before you hurt me 'Cuz nothing satifies me when I'm thinking of you No one could excite me anymore than you You are the inspiration, evil prince I fear That's not the truth, rock-hard life lying right here It's just a lie I told, oh...
There is no soul; it's an everlasting tease In scared control; patterned easy, pleasing Why try to understand? It's never meant to be understood Logic is the bottomless pit A no-cure find; questions behind Take what you can Cut out the heart Who could ever blame you, man? Nothing's fair, we're all doomed from the start No different for us No different for us We're just like the others, no different for us Can't stop the change; the change can't stop Though we leave our souls for a hopeful trust It's different for us It's different for us We will survive the change It's different for us It's not cool to fall in love Scared and desperate in this life Safer, cool to judge outside Oh, to be complaining cool Never cool, though too excitable All that we will ever be They don't have to feel the pain we feel Pass their judgment, be sure, decide what's real I don't have to cry to make this real
Spoiled children soon to fall Freedom is the lie we live We will wait for tragedy And scatter helpless to the fire Sorry for ourselves Sorry for the things we've seen No one cries for help Waiting for the fire When all our toys are burning All these empty urges must be satisfied Acted outside Precious strength to turn the game to history Giving up, I'm blown away He said all I had to say The final days have come and gone Safe inside, there's nothing wrong Nothing in these words Sorry force of habit Could it be way over my head? Helpless to describe it Could it be way over my head? Helpless to describe it Could it be way over my head? Helpless to describe it Dumb and cruel Cut before it's grown Lies so forced in bored control It learned all that it cares to know

You're me and my mouth; you know to my size of treason (?) The breezes went in their way to May Ride the darker wave Hello tomorrow today Ride the darker wave Hello tomorrow today
Now's the time, To lay it on the line. Though I'm still uptight, It kind of feels right. Much to young to die. Not to proud to cry. Sometimes we fight, All through the night. You know our sex Has lost its fight. Don't want to wine, But I don't like your design. Terrible line, Other girls on my mind. Know what to do, So please don't cry Kiss away the help, Before we say goodbye.
Trailing on next to sick Only broken magic sticks Evil pins never snare Figured out how to get nowhere Flying lead-filled flapping gills Phantom God in frozen time Comfort crawls into flight Wait for men grown, thunder dyin' Free toes roost on dancing wire Puzzling out a selfish high Commandment of meadow mouse Kiss the ground, lift up the house Wrapped in blankets of the mother's skin Perpetuate a freedom But there's nowhere to begin Bind one sky, ground to soil No one could care how your blood is boiling Grab a rubber needle, try to stick someone Needle is inverted to a rotten heart Simple, plain and simple Stars for eyes He's eager and overripe His tongue gets tied Weakened by a mighty blow Scars, four eyes A limping "fell to stupid man" Whose tongue is tied
Freak-girl named Heather, I'm on my way Countdown, puzzled; the absurd, crazed All I need to do is fall into your well Seduced by apparition, lower a spell Sweet princess plays games all day She knows the rules, needs you to play Eternal rosebud zooming down Red goat stands, water surrounds Glued to set, I can't take it all in Heather's amused; drillings begin Jumping up and down in this useless waste Fingers dance on the map in your FACE "Agony abounds in dreams," so you speak Legends of torture rock you to sleep All engaged, transmit a code Mission execution, overload Cowering freezebag, take a shower to cleanse (?) Flowering demoness, 3D boss (?) Whirlpool sermon, I wish to stall Patterns consuming, why at all? I know sorcery, it's miserable I know violet teeth to pull Lost bitch hits the switch I don't give a hooooooooooot Vomit overflowing as ya charge in pursuit
You were right, I was battling you Trying to prove myself I tried to bury you with guilt I wanted to prove you wrong I've got nothing better to do Than pay too much attention to you It's sad but it's not your fault I'm self-righteous and rude I guess I lost that cool Tapping 'til I drive you insane I'm self-righteous but never right So laid back but so uptight Destroying your patience to tolerate me And all the negative spirit I bring Right, I was obsessed to bring you down Watching your every move Playing a little boy game Always with something to prove Waiting to cut you down Making it hard to live With only one thing to do And cut me first, make it easy Now you will be free Now that nothing depends on me Tapping 'til I drive you insane Now you will be free With no sick people tugging on your sleeve Your big head has that more room to grow A glory I will never know A glory I will never know Freed pig
No, I'm never jealous. I'm just annoyed with you. Taking more then you deserve. I can't help but see right through. I never want to hurt you, I just think you ought to know. Everyone's grown tired, Of your over-drained ego. It's like you to be paranoid. It's like you want to get hurt. You take it all too serious. You took it too far first. Jealousy, just might be the explanation. Mad, cause you can't get all our attention. You struck first, your truly evil. You deserve to be ignored. Hurt me, Cut down realization. Jealous of new frustration. I am the one with purest intention. You are immature suck for attention. Tension builds to shape your glory. One true side to every story.
It's all a matter of soul and fire Infatuation or true desire The thrill of discovery, divine intervention Cruel, cruel change, pain of rejection As you walk away, think of all the joy we shared If you decide you need me, I'll be wondering if I care Not there to soothe your soul, friend to tender friend I think our love is coming to an end King persuader, congratulations Share her heart, you bought her soul Princess confusion, come to me again Saying goodbye was so much fun When you walk away, feel the freedom in your heart There's a joy in letting go, free to find a love apart When I lose control, I need a kind, forgiving friend But I think our love is coming to an end I know our love is coming to an end
Now that you have your doubts Will you always be looking for a way out? And if I convinced you to stay Two years or two days from now I'd live in fear of losing you Holding on, trapping you inside Now I understand I can't always have what I'm wanting And now I'm wanting you But if you don't want me I'll have to set you free I'll have to learn to live without you Guilt is a stupid thing Don't let it make you stay Leave me if you're wanting someone else I'll be okay Two years or two days from now Even though I love you more now
This or that or what you will It's all the same to me There's danger almost everywhere As far as I can see Careen them, maybe, if you can Charm my troubled soul The farther I go, The worse I get Electric current, arms outstretched I may be hostile, sick with rhyme Smear it all over, time is on my side There's the funny plants, my dear Go pull one in the root You'll find, if I'm not at fault A lucky rabbit's foot Deal me insincerity, clairvoyance not an act If there's any concern my nerves to soothe But my face would never fuse in to be with you I'm entertaining on the street, 12 degrees To sweet college girls and friends with fleas Dreaming our direction, crazy Some real-life stories go Await sweet, crazed adventure I want someone to know It's scary how I view my life a book, Yet written and unsigned A violent piece of addict prose I live on borrowed time Childlike I was always a terror I need to be held Ammunition cynical, damn all memory Shot glass hits the wall Tiny victory
Of these times, it's when we make the most Boredom fabricated as you're going down each other's throats And I'm so excited Happily divided Smashing all my windows Rocks are falling in the yard Pretending that you're bigger than you really are Pretending you're bigger than you really are Happily divided Yeah, you're big Only when your numbers grow All dressed up with nowhere to go So excited Happily divided
Damned if I do, and damned if I don't I told you I loved you, I wish that I hadn't And you don't seem the same I guess I know you too well I knew I was falling, but I didn't know How low I fell Sister, oh sister Who told you these lies? I don't have time To teach what it should be like To pull you from this, child You don't smell the stink But you might have felt the bed You think I'm all yours And I wish that I was dead The words were not your own It was something your mother said Umbilical blood line, mind control by the whining chest Sister oh sister I thought it'd be nice That thing I felt when we first met Just will not suffice The glimmer in your eyes I love you, sister I love how you condescend I thought so, sister But I cannot pretend It's hard to believe this blood This isn't healthy love It's hard to believe this love This isn't healthy blood Sister, oh, sister You thought you were so wise A judgmental vision coming from the blindest eye A look that you define
Did you think I was dead inside? There was no room to grow And if I loved you still, I didn't let it show I never left you, though I've always loved you And you were free to leave me If you didn't believe in me Dumped, don't mind me I didn't know what I had till it was gone In love, so scared, couldnt stay Cliche I had a good time Remember the good times Before it had to happen Cracked our world wide open Dumped, don't worry about me It wasn't up to you to set me free There never is good time, so they say Cliche, cliche
With my head so low, the way I think could scrape the ground I will give them all control, I will crumble all around There's no need to say a word as logic burns right trough my head I could almost laugh out loud, the way this silence leaves me dead Feel afraid to speak, and I feel afraid to smile As I crave sacred attention, you could hit me all the while And you might be the weaker one, and I may stand and stare But I'll always know my place to keep this order safe, not sane
What's all this commotion? You can break the alarm Restrain, please, don't bite me on the arm Capricorn Rising Diligent, she waits Bright eyes wink Future wife in a mini-skirt Buying me a drink, I abandon every plain Not your Mr. Right Committed like a burglar, arrive in style Nailed a warning sign Oh, when we get into square land, you'll get your little fish (?) Reel that sucker in In this condition, the elixir is zog Concentrated salvation, a region squad The way in my skeptic, blinded by grog A clever decision, never am solved

Sweep the dirt under your rug, you're on your drug And then it hits me It's paregoric in my head, I'm all doped-up And just a baby Doing just fine You're making up your mind at sixteen I'm all grown up and what I know It isn't from your mouth And now I'm confused 'cuz you don't talk Or wonder what I think I'm standing here and still I cannot hear you My passion's locked inside me, divulging your imperative For during, though it's easy, a hundred years of therapy Thanks, thanks anyway, I'll soon be leaving
Sittin' around with my homemade bone I'm naked and loose when no one's home And I may let my fingers roam Juicing free on my holy bone Here I am, on my knees Praying to the beast that stole the sex from me I see something we should do If you need one, then you need two I won't hold back, so why should you? I won't hold back, so why should you? Here I am, on my knees With nothing to blame but my curiosity It got the best of me There's still pictures in my mind I've been addicted all this time Taught me everything I know Tell me, girl, did it leave me cold? Here I am, on my knees With nothing to blame but my curiosity The selfish child in me
She don't need the guilt, she don't need the pressure But she craves a guilty pleasure She has no conscience, call her a seeker Let her know if she can please you, she's eager to please you Pitbull, heartbreaker, forced love dictator Is she as shallow as she seems? Sweet, yet heartless; mindful, yet thoughtless Left a kiss to find a conflict of interest Gave myself away by what I didn't say I tried to talk, but my pride got in the way And I would never dare to break her heart Too scared and selfish to watch my security fall Pitbull, heartbreaker, forced love dictator The boy that crippled all her dreams Sweet, yet heartless; mindful, yet thoughtless Left a kiss to find a conflict of interest And I would never dare to break her heart Too scared and selfish to watch my security fall Take me back, I'm not proud To share the glory if I'm allowed to 'Cuz nothing can be lost This magic never existed, I hope I never miss it Leave it alone, let it die It can't be worth the pain we've hidden Nothing will be lost; a love that couldn't be trusted Is it worth the time that we'll abuse? (X3)
Lookin' at a new routine is the way to be Ain't no way out and the wheels are lazy Give a livin' when you're that again Hoard in sunshine, medicine Fell apart as humans will, they walked away from everything Carry a lantern, 'cuz I may live away Where I can relax when I leave this place Defined by age, I'm a monkey in rage Store it in rhythm 'cuz they cover more space (?)

Since when again, I care, I swear I don't intend to be mean Siren glides from surf to cliff Endearing language, provocative I'm here to say what's done is done Serving shark's fin soup for everyone Beautiful women in the world to see I'm a born romantic, EAG Gotta right to find an American dream And so what? Stranded here high and dry Got a cause on the region, on the beach I lie (?)

Could I hold on, or should I hold on to you? Ask, I'll tell the truth There's nothing I should hide And if I move to slow If you're bored I need to know I'm weak to hide inside To force what I don't feel If all we have is a question There's no hope to find a future But something in me cries for you It feels too real this time I think I love you Though I don't know what love means Girl of my dreams or a friend that one day leaves Could I trust this when I've lied to myself before? Will I do it all again to taste what I've imagined we could be? Look what I've become This pressure that we feel In a world of possibilities This may not prove real But could we give enough, backed against a wall? Too close to breathe But too far to fall All I ever wanted was to feel you closer to me And it's sad to feel this resistance What once before had felt so free Let tomorrow be I can't be so impatient Pushing every answer When there isn't any question Let me feel good now And though this may have to end I hope I'm always with you Honestly your friend I think I love you

In my dreams I react as my true self And I learn humility Twisted moral planes As real as circumstance, Each night I dance with primal urges Pornographic scenes That always start as they are ending In my dreams I walk with my true friends We discover secrets; we run through our lives Everything is twisted like abyss To the past and distant future I'm prepared for some big show Tried to arrive but I moved too slow Something's wrong when someone died Then I opened up my eyes Something's wrong when someone died Then I opened up my eyes
There is history in this place There are dragons to be chased And though I don't know who you are An easy flow and a strong, a strong heart And the charm in the way you hide Gently take my skull for a ride And I don't know who you are But I know what I would like you to be A one-night stand under stoned persuasion But a joy that I can't hide Gently take my skull for a ride We can never ever go too far The pain we can't escape at least will wait So let's go quickly No, we go slow Let's go chasing dragons through the snow Kindly take my all And give me all you have Gently take my skull for a ride Take and shake your soul But never lose control Gently take your skull for a ride

I need to know what I've been missin' I'm no one you can trust All little boy lonely with curious lust Confusion turns me upside down Lost as quickly as I'm found But soon enough it turns around On the rebound Call it fate or true love Never forced romance Fall into a new love Maybe perfect love by chance Beware they say But why would I listen When it feels this good? No one lives their life Doing all the things they say they should Confusion turns me upside down Lost as quickly as I'm found But soon enough it turns around On the rebound On the rebound On the rebound On the rebound

Now I'm afraid to look around And find you're no where to be found Are you real or an illusion Don't bring me down I've been trying for too long To find a place where I belong Mystery man, if my world is not good enough Take me into yours! (Chorus) Don't bring me down!... (Chorus) You're my mystery man Mystery man!
Close my eyes Feel the fire Overwhelming fear and desire (so hard for you to stem the tide) Wavering heart, the flames growing higher (grab your bottle get your coat and hide) Lose what I have To test new water My mind is awash 'round the thoughts of her (so hard for you to fill my eyes) So much at stake, can't stay awake (temptation for me and for you) Drifting off (out with the tide) Dreams come so easily Filled with wasted fantasy We're together until the tide (so hard for you to stem the tide) Time enough to quell the day (test the water, there's the place, fill your heart) Tide's going out, here I am to stay (temptation tide)
Close the Venetian blind Shut out the light and say goodbye to you Soon I can see right through You're sitting here talking to Real eyes, pools of blue Making what you say the rule You make me dream of broken tools I need the Dramamine To be as crazy as your scene I know it's not a dream Don't know what you're telling me? It's like wasting everything On someone else's dream It's like wasting everything On someone else's dream Seems pretty crazy to me Seems pretty crazy to me Seems pretty crazy to me
What was that you just said? That didn't make any sense to me It's not the way I see it, man I'm almost tired of listening to you Why do you tie me up with words? The way your eye shifts makes me wanna go Black-jawed living room, couch professor When will you be through with me? I'd like to know Everywhere I go, I feel it But I won't talk, I won't get stuck with you Everyone's so lonely, I dig it But I'm afraid I can't share this with you So don't make me your captive I don't feel like talking your shit I nod my broken head I'm not too amused with humans
My opinion can change today. I'm responsible anyway. Second to third-hand information Complicates the complication. I don't think before I speak, And I don't know how far my words reach. So wrong nearly every time That I'm sorry I speak my mind If what I said was unkind. Now it feels like I'm on fire. It's burning the world through. Don't hold it against me 'Cause I know you're lying too. Is there any need for apologies? There's no reason to believe me. Judgements born in my jealous mind Creeping inside outside. Connections I've made never follow through And sooner or later disappoint you. I'll cross you twice when your back is turned. That's how I've learned That someone has got to be burned. Now it feels like I'm on fire. These words are not the truth. Don't hold it against me 'Cause I know you're lying too. It feels like I'm on fire It's burning the world through. Don't let me fall Without someone to hold on to. Someone to hold on to. Someone to hold on to.
Count it off smart guy Now what the hell are we doin'? No, it can't Eleven times a scapegoat It? s not a hug but a choke And you? re not what I? ve been missin? And I? ll be damned before I listen to you Prince-S of distress You? re a Prince-S of distress Everything you want And nothing that you need But somehow it all just fits in I? d climb your mind just to go wishing I guess there? s no use really? cause ?

So you think you're in the middle of the ocean Stranded on an island of your own? Or stuck on the top of a mountain, Either way you're gonna say you're all alone. And I hesitate to say that you're a liar I never tell the truth myself. But I tried to chase you down and I got tired So I'm leaving you to be with someone else. 'Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show But you answer every question with a riddle And refuse to even choose to let me go. It used to be I'd tell you all my secrets Giving you the credit you deserved I guess you didn't care to lose or keep it And we never quite connected from the first. And I wish I had a way to make it better To rearrange the world and make you smile. But it's dumb to even think I had that power And we haven't been that close in a while. (Guitar solo) And I don't even wanna try to name it Explain it for the one who couldn't care 'Cause all that matters is the way you choose to frame it... I hesitate to say that you're a liar I never tell the truth myself. But I tried to chase you down and I got tired So I'm leaving you to be with someone else. 'Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show. But you answer every question with a riddle And refuse to even choose to let me go.
If I'm right Sometimes I forget I might Shallow as the brook out back Bedtime stories that you can't take back Figure how to be a friend to you God knows I want to There's a lot of girls in the world That are nothing like you There's no need to condescend Not knowing, careful to pretend Give away your fucked-up friends Tired news and damaged trends Figure how to be a friend to you God knows I want to There's a lot of girls in the world That are nothing like you If we play your games Won't have time to play my games Forget how to be myself But now I've got it figured out They're nothing like you They're nothing like you They're nothing like you They're nothing like you
Fatal missy, daring you to kiss me Crystal gypsy, light my fire Tonight I die to realize I bury my shit deep inside I suck up all you think and I'm thirsty Convoluted hell run dry Fatal missy, daring you to kiss me Crystal gypsy, light my fire When it starts to suck and I'm stuck here Carrying me far away I just send a wink to the trustee Check's in the mail, it's time to pay Freeze out, I squeeze out something To stumble out, stumble down It's my kinda highway really Convoluted hell run dry
Never did and never will It's just the way it's always been I've made mistakes before I'll make the same again And all this tension we ignore It surely works its ugly way inside I have known that nothing's fair Surely what did I expect? When magic slips into the air And every day's another test And all this tension we ignore It surely works its ugly way outside So let it build, let it explode Leaving blood and shattered bone Or bite your tongue Till you've forgotten what to say And take another step back Until you find you've walked away Silence like disease But I dare not say it hurts 'Cause if I honestly react Nothing's ever gonna work All this tension back and forth It's just the beauty of the ride It's just the beauty of the ride So let it build, let it explode Leaving blood and shattered bone Or bite your tongue Till you've forgotten what to say And take another step back Until you find you've walked away
Look, baby, I'm not a mind reader You're gonna have to tell me so You're lookin' down at your shoes again Take us down off of a cloud I'm ridin' high in the sky You'd have to tell me so Look, baby, I ain't extrasensory You can't reach me with your new telepathy It's raining down all your blues again Take us down off of a cloud I'm ridin' high in the sky You'd have to tell me so I'm not a mind reader I'm not a mind reader I'm not a mind reader I'm not a mind reader
When you see him again, Tell him everything that you told me Tell him that I'm still your friend And maybe you would like to see me again I'm willing to wait my turn to be with you But I still have a lot to learn about me And no one's sure if we should be together But oh, when I saw you again A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in No, I cannot lie to you I'm still in love with you and I only wanna be with you So when you see him again, Tell him everything that you told me We're more than friends And maybe we should start again Maybe you could love me again Cause oh, when I saw you again A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in No, I cannot lie to you I'm still in love with you and i only wanna be with you I only wanna be with you
One, two, three, four Zone doubt, born to be alone Save the sermonette There's no one home I ascend to make amends I think I know I was begging the police to let you go But I can't stop the clock Passed out to take in, let the unconcern begin Tell your suspicious dreams to the wrong guy Volunteer your beer to the blue sky Out of my mind, half of the time, confused All my patience are abused And everybody knows They found you on the floor In an ashtray by the door At your hotel, an infidel with e.s.p., a blind man Out of my mind, half of the time, abused All the patience are amused And everybody knows
Is something missing in my touch? A tension tugging at my smile If there's a right thing to say I'm sure I missed it by a mile Swallowed in some detail, heavy in my blood I want to hold you close But I can't lift my arms up Is there a reason for this distance? More than the drug that floats my days A nervous bug in my system It keeps me edgy and ashamed I've got a saint, never ever will forgive That never understood me But still tells me how to live It fits when I stretch and I stretch because I can I stretch until I'm sore And then I open up for more I do it out of habit, not addiction And if I give it up Clean out my blood Will I still feel bored and disconnected? If I do it all for love, will I ever give enough? 'Cause you can never be too pure or too connected You can never be too pure or too connected You can never be too pure
I? ll have to think about it It? s what she said to me I? ll have to think about it All the time in the world to be When I sleep I dream about it I chew it when I eat After something I can? t explain The court? s adjourned in the big debate The way you are That? s the worst thing you could do Don? t you know that? s the worst thing? Fantasy land, come dig my art I? m just rehearsing I? ll have to think about it It? s what she said to me When you leave behind all the guts it takes Who will you be?

I love sleeping, I love eating When it's boring, I love to fight Anger, confusion, illusion, bullshit Charmed the woman, drank the whisky Just made history Bullshit I love you now
Ankle-deep in your personal concerns Love it or leave it, it's all the same Find that perfect way to keep you happy Change the past if you can find it Get someone to help you out Find that perfect way to keep you angry The point that's pointed dull The edge that doesn't cut anymore Halfway up that wall But there's another right around the corner Drive a wedge, put your weight behind it Get someone to help you out Find that perfect way to keep you busy The point that's pointed dull The edge that doesn't cut anymore Halfway up that wall But there's another right around the corner You've got anger in your eyes, I don't buy it And if you're holdin' I'll shake you down Share that perfect way to keep me happy Share that perfect way to keep me happy
I don't know how to sleep, I forgot how to eat But I hail to the command I took my only chance All I ever wanted is just to know what's up But when I try to fake it, I always fuck it up The basement is haunted, my heart palpitates I'm worried about something, my voodoo of the day It should be easy, but it's hard to give it up The way it used to be was just not happening enough Crocodile tears, six-packs of beer Denying, undenying But no one knows I'm here But no one knows I'm here But no one knows I'm here
Here's an open-ended threat, subject to interpretation But I don't wanna fight just yet, I wanted to see what would happen And maybe I don't know my place, still thinking like a child Only trying to shake this shadow, squinting through a broken window Know who deserves it, who got there first Who lied about it and made things worse See, it don't matter I've only begun to confuse you It's what I do Here's an open-ended threat to tip the balance we've been riding With all this talk of honesty, I look and see who's really hiding Know who deserves it, who got there first Who lied about it and made things worse See, it don't matter I've only begun to confuse you It's what I do You deserve it, you got there first I didn't make it and that's still hurts I could be floating or ready to explode If I don't show, no one knows
Five years wading in the pool With more rules than a Sunday school Woke up, took a shower Now I've got soul power I smell a rat I smell a rat I know I smell a rat, baby Got a ride on the midnight train To the beauty of the brain I got drunk, on love Got stuck in the mud I smell a rat I smell a rat I know I smell a rat, baby I smell a rat I smell a rat Plant the garden on the wall Paint the ceiling on the floor Sit back, relax, breathe deep I smell a rat (X8) I smell a rat, rat, rat, rat
Driven to live, but now I complain I'm fallin' apart when I feel this way I can't ignore, I can't exist The door is locked and on my mind, it's Anytime you want me I feel good all over Spending all my time It really is a good thing This is good, it's all we have Now I know there's nothing left I'm trapped, I'm trapped My head is filled with facts and it's all you Sick in the head, I think it's a game But if it was, I wouldn't feel this way I'm doing my chorus, I'm checking my list I'm walking the dogs, and on my mind, it's I'm gonna get so wasted Gonna feel good all over I'm spendin' all my time Wishing you were with me It's you, it's you, it's you, it's you, it's all you It's you, it's you, it's you, it's all you
I've been thinking all day, but I've got nothing good to say There's a war on my mind, let me leave it all behind Things we'll never share are hangin' heavy in the air With all the weird on the way, let me have a perfect day But paranoia's contagious; I'm coming down with it, too You better throw your trust on the fire first Before I do It's a world of demand, it doesn't stop to understand And it's of world in demands, doesn't stop to understand you If you're waitin' on me to tie you up, set you free You'll be waitin' all day, all I wanna do is play But paranoia's contagious; I'm coming down with it, too Better throw your trust on the fire first Before I do Before I do And if we wanna be happy, it's all here to be used But settin' the world on fire burns, I thought you knew You thought I knew We never knew We never ever knew We never knew We never knew
All washed down the drain All washed down the drain Take it home with you I don? t know what to say to you And I know how it can be Drop to the whisper And take it while you can It? s only a little bird In the palm of your big hand Racked my brain And now I? m confused as hell I don? t know what you want If it? s all the same I think I? ll go on home Droppin' a whisper And take it while you can It? s only a little bird In the palm of your big hand No one can change You can? t change

Could we try again tomorrow?
It's time to live inside But don't complain of need to hide The air is all expandable Wander 'round the bend While we are trying to begin Vision lifelong wasted meaning Explain, please expand upon Clearing out the closets And nothing's what we need to build In the first place you're alright The way you are, the way you are Grabbing all success begins Where you thought it would all end Don't complain, just clear away Take off your shades And put them away You're okay, you're okay You're okay, you're okay You're okay, you're okay It's okay, you're okay

Can you tell that I'm about to lose control Someone else has found her way into my soul Things have changed, no longer need to be with you I'm still the same and if it's leaving I must do, to be true, I will So, I make a plan and start to move And I follow as she follows me away And this will be the hardest thing I've ever done Getting more than we were hoping for is not fun but it's done and I will Who am I and what did I begin All to feel a nail drag my skin To draw this blood from me And in the end there never is an end Nothing we protect can let us in So find your way, I will
No there's not a lot I need But, yea, I'm gonna need that too Put it on my Fault line On our own Lucky we could stay this long Lucky, have to fight for it Got to keep on keeping calm And hang on I work and I'm away And the lonely breeds a new A new way to complicate The simple things we do I love you here but i can't be there to A day at home is real unreal Beautiful like a baby girl Then a family needs me Home But I'm gone At night I'm wide awake The lonely breeds a new A new way to complicate The simple things we do I love you here out I can't be there to
Not an afterlife Full of aliens, no No philosophy No way of thinking Instead of diving in Spin around just 1ooking A we11 travelled path Beside the road And when you hear the bell You can always trust yourself Pointless to explain Infinite no-thing Gently flowing down Observe the hologram Advancing world retreats Away from grasping hands Dejected scientists Mystics and garbage men Asses back in line And start it all again If you hear a bell There's nothing left to tell Just before you can explain... When it gets interesting
I NEED TO TAKE IT AWAY FLOW HORIZONTAL AGAIN:: When you defend yourself pretend that everything is surface:: Investigate who you defend WHY ARE YOU DUMPING ON ME Can't you see that I am small?:: When you defend yourself pretend that everything is surface:: Investigate who you defend A COURT OF KANGAROO A MAN STANDS ACCUSED:: When you defend yourself pretend that everything is surface:: Investigate who you defend
A phone call could have stopped this song Could've related before it all went wrong Spoken, I might have understood Type's no good I think we're over-thinking gone This is how we waste our time On all this anger redefined Bottled up and dead on-line Leave it deprived oxygen Leave it screen blind Drowning numb I won't be the first to let it go I can hold on if I think you're holding on Think of the things that we could do Lungs full breaking air in two Then, then we're over-thinking gone This is how we waste our time Oh all this anger we define Bottled up and dead on-line Leave it deprived oxygen Leave it screen blind Drowning numb Hard and fragile Lost in space Where there's no air No human grace
when you were a baby no one asked for explanations now that you're ninety what do you make of this existence all you kids are lazy in my day we got reactions we often worked a livelong day gave up our satisfactions now you leave me alone that never works on my mind who was it wanting to? what was it hoping to find? grandpa?
Held on a long tine before I handed it to you Hoping that one day I'd be strong again The last thing that you said just strikes me odd every time And then the daydreams start to scurry in And I'm afraid that it's too dark to call I'm too high for you and you're tired of it all Said I'm the cause of all your doubts In trying to figure how I would defend myself Honey I can't depend on you You never do the things that you say you're going to ::Said that when it comes to me You don't know what to believe In the insubstantial land of make believe I wonder just how wrong we can make it seem Feeling like you are never heard Think I don't know what you're worth Honey I can't depend on you You never do the things that you say you're going to ::Said that when it comes to me You don't know what to believe
Didn't want to say no to myself again Didn't want to let you slip away So I told you how I feel and you told me how you feel And that is why we're lying here today Understood the situation Understood why it could fall Knew how far and fast if we might fall Still I'm holding on to whatever turns me on The promise of a new familiar way Full up with fear to be destroyed Anger and doubt That's Why I'm here, to make it disappear Let it out I need more love don't have enough There's so much more I wanna feel And to be touched is to be real Again You're the grace in my addiction Risk my life to hear you smile Let my patient demons have their way To bear my soul to the limit of control The edge that we go over everyday
I hung around even after I found There are things I can't change that I hate Slurring and mean Like a broken machine Repeating itself on and on I'll try, I'll ask you again To slow down but you won't listen When I'm under the gun and I'm drinking too much If I'm laughing a lot, I don't care If we're doing it wrong, the money is gone And everything's up in the air Still I'm wanting a love that is capable of Rearranging me year after year And my words are, heard And change occurs, that isn't happening here I'll try, I'll ask you again To slow down but you don't listen I need to change So I will change Without you knowing I'll change I know you care But you don't care Enough to notice me leave
Whats that noise? Who's in the kitchen? Did I lock the door? Did I get addicted? Out of the dark Your mind's on a mission Making shit up Creating phantoms Creating phantoms I looked in the closet and under the covers I sat with the fear and fell asleep with a gun But now, I've never been so scared I know there's nobody there If I'm all alone Where could it be coming from? Where could it be coming from? Whats that noise? Who's in the kitchen? Did I lock the door? Did I get addicted? 'Cause now, I've never been so scared I know there's nobody there If I'm all alone Where could it be coming from? You've never been so scared You know there's nobody there If you're all alone Where could it be coming from?
I get the feeling you don't feel me Must be a reason you're still here Is it the money or the freedom? You've taken both but it's not clear You're still untied, angry ocean Celebrate the void You never let me near your light You're gonna need it if I leave Take a chance See where it takes me Make a break See if I break Not that long ago, lit my doubt Lotta wick then quick to blow You gotta let me out I can't climb your fathers wall What you want from me? I've no time for the long good bye You gotta set me free Free from feelings I don't feel Free to say the void is real No one's wrong and free to be To demonstrate the space we need Empty my-my Celebrate the void Empty my-my Celebrate the void Celebrate the void Celebrate the void
Oh it's so slow But peaceful, you know The darkness that glows You're off the grid so never mind Just follow the breath on down and rise back Up with some new intention Fragile shell Come to understand You just like building fences Contextual plans You'll never fit yourself in Follow the breath on down and rise back Up with some new intention Fragile shell Follow the breath on down and rise back Up with some new intention Fragile shell
Medicate, I hate my brain I'll cover up the pain it creates Prescribe the ride for me And when my body wants it I'm your slave No, I don't want your hangover But how will I learn to be sober? Oh, I miss it when The sorrow tempts me again Meditate, I'll try to pray But what God gives away has a fee Dictate the words I say That mean more if I pay to repeat Lord, I don't want your hangover But how will I learn to be sober? And how can I live unforgiven? Oh, I miss it when The sorrow tempts me again
Here you come for When did I Sign a contract For my life? Kill compassion Living mean On a mission To be seen You hide your heart It can't be found Your hide your heart And now we're here again Another lost soul On a blood troll We all see-saw waiting for something real We all see-saw waiting for something Blame your victim It's a lazy day To act on impulse And call it brave Kill compassion Living mean On a mission To be seen You hide your heart It can't be found Your hide your heart And now we're here again Another lost soul On a blood troll We all see-saw waiting for something real We all see-saw waiting for something The cradle will break, and there is no way home No more see-saw waiting for something
When you drove up you didn't make a sound I thought I'd gone deaf but then I figured out Your body went on vacation Mind stayed home Stuck deep inside of you Don't even know So I raise my glass to departures Let it all go Release yourself from you Before you blow up, better let it out And get your head into orbit now Gotta irrigate the frustration Something that's cold Knock the dust right off of you Leave me alone By the time you find your vibration Deep in my bones Be time to go home Your body went on vacation Your mind stayed home Stuck deep inside of you Don't even know So I raise my glass to departures Let it all go Release yourself from you
Give me a shout When you get mellowed out I can't get caught up in all this To the degree We believe what we see And what we'll do when its all done But now I'm stunned Can't think of one 'Cause I'm tripping on down Been peeling out hard Don't you creep around me Search party got wild Don't you creep around Water from a stone Can never flow Gave up the game Now I don't feel ashamed Now the water just rolls off My mistake Tried to keep you awake I fell asleep with my boots on But now I'm stunned Can't think of one For crying out loud It's crazier now Don't you creep around me Salt of the earth A total fucking jerk Nobody tell you no Nowhere to go But now I'm stunned Can't think of one 'Cause I'm tripping on down Been peeling out hard Don't you creep around me Search party got wild Don't you creep around Water from a stone Can never flow
I'll believe every word Follow order absurd Any meaningfully empty display And the more I'm not sure I will hold it secure Make a promise and toss it aside But I won't be a fool in your eyes I will be your puppet I won't be your clown Pick me up, talk me up Don't put me down Holding the key To a world I believed Could exist if I kissed it enough Well it took twenty years To react to my fear And decide what I couldn't decide No, I won't be a fool in your eyes I'm prone to alone with you Speaking my mind Don't use that against me Please be kind
Mile-wide grin With your head caved in And you knew the game was on Controlled demolition And your deepest suspicion Now you're all alone With your facts Your old games And the water flows the same Accept it like a mission It's a sweet suspicion A thousand clicks a day You can say it ain't so (No light no shadow) Things they don't wanna know (Got the tin foil hats on) Coming after you (I'm turning in my neighbors) Not a thing you can do (I don't give any favors) Everything went south You put your mind in your mouth Through the bars and stars of the stage Then the truth came to town And started bossing you around What will we do with our rage? Oh, raging river, flow on down Oh, raging river, flow on down You can say it ain't so (No light no shadow) Things they don't wanna know (Got the tin foil hats on) Coming after you (I'm turning in my neighbors) Not a thing you can do (I don't give any favors)
Leave before the ceremony ends In search of any way to make the magic mine To live the way you do when things are good But I won't follow, have to find it on my own (Not on my own) I need sunshine to ignore Need a room with heavy curtains Double lock up on the door To know freedom, I'm going in Have to leave it all behind so I can face it all again I need sunshine Walked the stores and dodged 'em in the street Ever trying to hand me something else We carry all we can and lie about the pain Bring it back inside and out of range (Out of range) I need sunshine, I need you In my head and throwing echoes over mountains in the room To know freedom, I'm going in Have to leave it all behind so I can face it all again I need sunshine to ignore Need a room with heavy curtains, double lock up on the door I need sunshine I need sunshine
You never even try to be on time Apologize if it ever crossed your mind Ignorance really is bliss, I see But I'm confused because it makes you mean And you always act surprised Oh we can't help Find ourselves Overwhelmed It's your turn, gonna put your foot down Life's gonna suck until you get your way now Under the bus, that's where you'll find them Casualties of your requirements And you always act surprised We can't help Find ourselves Overwhelmed You've turned On yourself Inside out Upside down
Something that concerns me But I know not what to say I really learned my lesson Last time that I complained I try not to waste it I don't want it anyway Lost in translation The mind, it just plays games Well, I was born all tongue-tied Never knew just what to say Observing the reactions So awkward in your ways Shrinking down to nothing I throw away my shape I came to the conclusion I never would feel safe You're just too fucked up to ever focus All of that buzzing in your pocket How would I know there's no one home? What makes a battery explode? I came to fear the teachers I came to fear the apes Now you have lost your focus And there is no escape You're just too fucked up to ever focus All of that buzzing in your pocket How would I know there's no one home? What makes a battery explode?
Belief decides the truth And there's nothing changing you Change is rolling over, you're not weak Through the final statement made One you're taking to your grave The wisdom of the angry and confused You bet a million wrongs can make a right And it's your right to take your rights away But I can see the anger in your eye And I can see that changes cause you pain We're the same Not the same Belief decides the truth No one's wrong, it's down to you Refusing to cooperate at all When your color fades You'll be hanging from the grade Swinging like a pendulum on fire You bet a million wrongs can make a right And it's your right to take your rights away But I can see the anger in your eye And I can see that changes cause you pain We're the same Not the same
I think there's nothing more to say The more we try, the more it stays Why ruin another day? You know this ain't real anyway It's a long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year I see this and you see that You see the sun fall off the flat I still love you and your facts But some words you can't take back It's a long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Here's your rosy-pounded kiss It can't make up for any of this But you'll take it with a clenched fist 'Til it's your time to resist It's a long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year Long leap year
Live the way you want to Do anything you want And when they say you do, you don't have to If you can Buy your innocence Use your power Could be a love lost, that's the life you choose Need a place to cultivate the ruse Come on Defined by your distortion Lock every door in the room And pace and scream like a father Oh you Buy your innocence Use your power Buy your innocence Use your power Could be a love lost, but that's the life you choose You need a space to look at all the space your use Could be a love lost, but I don't care Do you? Do you? Do you?
