So, it looks like I'm gonna die
And there's nothing I can do
I don't get to stay alive
Looks like I've gotta follow suit
Get's me thinking
Gotta find me
A rooftop with a bird's eye view
So that I can sort out
What I'm gonna do
I'm getting sick of playing it safe
And I think I'm about to crack
But, if I run outta the gate
Baby, there's no coming back
You ever feel like
You were born to
Do just on particular thing
Well, that's me and I've been
Waiting in the wings
It's only a matter of the time it takes
Before I break
Nobody on earth can keep his soul alive
From nine to five
So if you could be there when
The cards come down
And I look like a clown
Then it's alright
What makes a guy feel so afraid
Is it the monster under the bed
Is it just the way he was made
Or just a poison in his head
I love the stories
Where the hero
Is just brave 'cause it's what he should do
I bet I could be that
Brave if I wanted to
I sit here and watch the clock devour days
Potential fades
I've got a deposit of regretted stuff
That's building up
But, soon it'll overflow
And I'll be here
To tidy all the fear
Then it's alright
So, it looks like I'm gonna die
And there's nothing I can do
I don't get to stay alive
Looks like I've gotta follow suit
It's not an issue
Get me a tissue
'Cause I wine like a little kid
But I can let this become
The thing I never did

Big Heart, Easy Target
04:07
|

Watchya doin' with your pockets inside out
Won't you tell me what this look is all about
When did your bank account turn into a charity fund
If you read the minds of these crooks you would be stunned
Your big heart leaves you wide open
An easy target for
Mosquitoes who are hopin'
That they can drain some more
You can't just leave it open
They got their Trojan horse
When you invest your hope in
By then, you've lost the war
Whatchya doin' givin' up your John Hancock
At this rate by next week you'll be out of stock
Read the fine print maybe then you'll understand
You lose an arm and leg by moving your right hand

The Things I Did Right
03:50

Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
'Cause it might affect the way the stars look tonight
Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
How about remembering the thing I did right
Let's get to the point
I admit you're a catch
And I would be a fool
To throw you back
But take a good look
If you like what you see
Then don't hesitate
Take all of me
Sometimes I can't be subtle
Sometimes I only look like trouble
Some I'm wrong but
Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
'Cause I bet we'd make such a beautiful pair
Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
'Cause I know although you don't show it
You care
I hate to be rude
But sometimes I don't mind
A guy like me
Isn't easy to find
So give me your hand
And follow me home
Together we'll be
Blissfully alone
Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
'Cause I bet I've got some more tricks up my sleeve
Don't change your mind about me
Pretty girl
You can tell I won't make it easy to leave
I hate to believe
I'm not a good man
I do the right thing
As much as I can
If I sound like a creep
As I'm telling you this
Who cares
You hit or you miss

Beetlejuice
05:20
|

Life's on the table
It's always a losing game
I'm left here naked
I'll do it all again
Take all my money
Park it upon the red
One glass of havoc
Goes straight to my head
It's all in the fire
The ignition is
Deep inside of your soul
When you're losing it
Running out of control
Keep it burning with
Useless things you own
When it's haunting you then
Just forget about it
When I'm feeling cozy
And all things are going well
It hits me like a
Big catapault from hell
When I'm feeling shaky
This body's not even mine
No, it's property of
The chaos in my life

Gotta
05:47
|

Gotta reason
To investigate your lies
Gotta feeling
By tomorrow this thing dies
Gotta yearning
To unveil conspiracies
But I've been learning
That the truth won't set you free
And I've gotta say
There is nothing I could
Say to you at all
To make this any more or
Less dysfunctional
I'm not gonna stay
You keep trapping friends
Inside your horror house
I'll pretend to be a
Lion not a mouse
I've gotta go
Had a feeling
After freshly shaken hands
You'd be someone
Making devious demands
I gotta listen
To this spidey sense of mine
It's been working for me
Almost half the time
I've gotta reject the Sunday blues
I'll resurrect my dancing shoes
My intellect will have no use
For the day
I've gotta collapse my fold out chair
Follow the maps and I'll be there
Time will elapse and I'll lose hair
So they say

Just Your Parts
05:22
|
|||
It turns out everybody else
Is just as fickle
As I am when I wanna melt
Mix, and mingle
The pace is fast you never see
People slow dance
At my age you just don't believe
In love and romance
Watch the sun touch hands with the moon
And switch like a tag team fight
You prepare for the battle as you trade
Your face of the day for your face of the night
See the kids on the town
All they wanna do is drown
In a place where your feelings never show
All your love for your mate
Ain't a need to procreate
Just your parts and that feeling down below
When we lock eyes and reel it in
It's so exciting
Your runway legs, they guide me in
It's so inviting
When either heart begins to swell
You let the blood out
A mis-match never ended well
But, now you're thawed out
I don't even know what I want
|

Wake up to the sirens in your head
They're screaming to get you out of bed
They're smart enough to get the better of you
When you're not awake
Hot enough to make you
Wish that you had stayed
Remember a place where you have been
It's eating you underneath your skin
The kinda place you just discover
When your eyelids wanna close
The kinda place you know that
No one else has known
And when you go there you're a hostage to the
Things that occur
It's never logical but you neglect to
Think it over
'Cause in your dreams
The world you love is knocking on your door
Then it seems
The feeling you get you just can't ignore
Let go of documentaries in your head
Replace them with a comic book instead
All your senses could betray you
If you shift your train of thought
Make you feel you're somewhere beatiful
When you're not
And you're afraid you might get swallowed up
Or squeezed 'till you're blue
But then again ain't that a notion you've been
Getting used to
In the real world you're never there
You're obsessed with it
So take some sleep-time medication it's a
Fast track ticket

I've been stumbling 'round this dusty old town
An older man is telling me to get out
He says it's ugly and the smell sticks around
And there are a million things to cry about
Come to think of it when I look around
Everyone seems like he'd rather be dead
Too many rules, not a smile to be found
But I think I might catch one if I stand on my head
I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no
I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no
Every moment I've been watching my back
Trying to figure out a plan of attack
Big brother doesn't knock at my door
He wants a battle but he's getting a war
Paranoia is what drives my life
It's like a man behind my back with a knife
I'm not one to go down without a fight
But he's saying he'll stab me if I don't get it right
I'm not throwing my life away
I'll start doing my job today
I'll jump hoops and I'll go to school
Learning loopholes to every rule
I've found something that never ends
The lineup starts on the left, my friends
Come one, come all, see me now
I've become something else somehow

Death Of Vengeance
03:39

Giving punches
Getting lunches
Follow hunches
He looks slim
I just might pick him
Winking black eye
Back on track guy
Hit me back I
Want to keep this
Cycle endless
I need you around
You want me, too
Let's knock it down
Our skyline view
If you're tired
Of catching fire
Then don't retire
Burn your funny
Pension money
If you call quits
Then bet my wallets
That all and all it's
Death of vengeance
End of sentence
Come closer
Candy for you
Sinister rendezvous
I will keep you close

There's a girl
You want her and she's probably wanting you as well
The problem is that there's no simple way to tell
You're diving head first into an old wishing well
You either splash or splat, so what the hell
Although, it's never quite as simple as it seems to be
'Cause loving her could violate the chemistry
Of all your friends and after all she could just be
Too nice to ever tell you you're a creep
You better get the girl off your mind
You better leave that infatuation behind
You better get your mind off the girl
She's gonna wreck each part of your world
There's a girl
You spent a little time with her and now it's done
She'd say she's heading over, but she'd never come
You fell in love though it was supposed to be for fun
You wanted all her love but you got none
You see, she's quite a selfish suzy and though you were kind
She won't return the favor, not in this lifetime
So sweep the memory dust out of your filthy mind
Then mop it up and maybe you'll be fine
Some days you want to fall apart
But you've gotta learn to leave it all behind
Some love will never leave your heart
But you can try to make it leave your mind

Otherwise Perfectly Fine
03:34

Walking out in the sun
Tripping over my feet again
'Cause clumsy is back in style
Today I opened my mouth
Ran a race with my tongue again
And tripped on every mile
I wish I had some more friends
Who understand I'm a lunatic
But I've got feelings too
My disposition depends
On what I have to look forward to
I'm telling you
The real me
Is buried under layers of crazy
I can't decide
On how to let someone inside
Everyone might be better off
Unexposed to me and my insanity
With every person I meet
I grow a new personality
It's twisted I guess but it's true
I like to lie in my bed
Contemplating reality
When I've nothing else to do
These little oddities are
Just embelishments of a mind
That's otherwise perfectly fine
I'm not that sort of a guy
Who will do what he's supposed to do
I'm telling you
It's not so simple to solve
But it's a challenge I'm up to take
Just give me the steps and I'm good
I always thought that a man
Could live the life that he chose to create
And I always thought I could
I guess if I feel alone
It's just 'cause I don't get out enough
So tomorrow I'll open the door
And pretend it's a good world
For only a little while
'Til it transforms

Kape
04:06

Never once have I had confirmation
That the the pieces I arrange would fit
Never before have I faced contemplation
Of the fact that I'll never get it
Simple things can make me happy
But when they go away
I am left with the thought
That I'll never see the day
They come back my way
And is it taking up my life
It's summertime and the sun's looking cool
Under sunglasses he's winking at me
He says, Go ahead now don't be a fool
The world is yours for the taking, take what you need
I don't know where I should go
But I know that I'm free
From now on I will treasure the way
That the pieces don't fit
They dissolve and decay
And is it shaping up my life

Bleak
06:34
|
|||
Words will come when they approach the tip of my tongue
Clouds dissolve when they're afflicted by the sun
The sky turns black on the brink of an ice age
Promising a nice day back at home
Birds confused I thought they knew just where to go
In the corner lions tortured by the snow
The sea splits up at the dawn of a cold day
Bringing back the old way to make it home
So tie your shoes
What's left to lose
Have you read the news
We're going home
At a time like this
It's good to have you here
We have both become
Victims of the weather
Now I do insist
You swallow all your fear
And drink the sun because
It won't be here forever
On the days when light is flooding every plane
I grab the big remote to keep it all the same
But the batteries die then time moves onward
Listen to the songbird sing the verse
Life is struggle, tricky puzzles, rainy days
It's only bleak if you are weak enough to say
I can't face hell not even on a good day
I don't think I should stay, I'm a curse
If you and I just had our memories left
Would that be enough
