Lives opened and trashed...'Look ma, watch me crash'...
No time to question...why'd nothing last... Grasp and hold on...hold tight and fast... Soon be over...and I will relent... Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past Three days, and maybe longer, won't even know I've left Under your tongue...I'm like a tab... I will give you what...you're not s'posed to have... Under my breath...I swear by sin... For better or for worse...a best we began... Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last...shed...shed... Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask Three days, and maybe longer, won't ever find me here Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past Four days, and not much longer... Let my spirit pass... Ooh... This is, this is... (3x) My...last exit |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out.
A bad time nothing could save him. Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out. He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles. He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree. The wind rose up set him down on his knee. A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw. Deliver him wings, ″Hey look at me now!″ Arms wide open with the sea as his floor. Oh, power, oh. He′s flying whole. High, wide, oh. He floated back down cause he wanted to share. This key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere. But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed by faceless men. Well fuckers, he still stands. And he still gets his love he just gives it away. The love he receives is the love that is saved. And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly. I′m flying, oh. High flying, oh. He′s flying, oh. High, oh, oh. |

The mind is grey like the city.
Packing in and overgrown. Love is deep. Dig it out. Standing in a hole alone. Working for something that one can never hold. A place in the clouds. Good place to hide oh my oh. So I'm flying away, away. Driving away, away. Finding. Hoping. Ways I missed before. Missed before. The TV, she talks to me. Breaking news and building walls. Selling me, what I don't need. I didn't know soap made you taller. So I'm riding away, away. Hiding away, away. So much talk it makes no sense at all. My sense is getting cold. So I'm hiding away, away. Driving away, away. Passing old friends I won't know at all. Won't know at all. It doesn't hurt when I bleed. But my memories they eat me. I've seen it all before. Bring it on cause I'm no victim. |

The waiting drove me mad...
you're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back... can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give... I would rather starve than eat your bread... I would rather run but I can't walk... Guess I'll lie alone just like before... I'll take the firmest path... oh, and I must refuse your test A-push me and I will resist... this behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know... They can buy, but can't put on my clothes... I don't want to limp for them to walk... Never would have known of me before... I don't want to be held in your debt... And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed... And I'm already cut up and half dead... I'll end up alone like I began... Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture I don't want to take what you can give... I would rather starve than eat your breast... All the things that others want for me... Can't buy what I want because it's free...(x2) Can't be what you want because I'm... I ain't s'posed to be just fun Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began... It's your move now... I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you |

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on. I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on the Christmas tree. I wish I was the star that went on top. I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the clouds. Or 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky. I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me. I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me. I wish I was a messenger, and all the news was good. I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro′s hood. I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun. I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on. I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on. I wish I was the verb ″to trust″ and never let you down. I wish I was a radio song the one that you turned up. |

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers Vulnerable, wisdom can′t adhere... A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on... But there′s a trapdoor in the sun...immortality... As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show Swept out through the cracks beneath the door Holier than thou, how? Surrendered...executed anyhow Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor... A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on, too... But saw the trapdoor in the sun... Immortality... I cannot stop the thought...I′m running in the dark... Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide... Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm... And whiskers in the sink... Truants move on...cannot stay long Some die just to live... Ohh... |

Light green to green, dark green, brown.
Every life is falling down. Brown to black, it's coming back. Dies to be part of the ground. Seed to seedling, root to stem. Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference. Every life is looking in. Swallowing seeds on the deathbed. Dig a hole in the garden. Everyone is practicing. But this world's an accident. I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me. It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Daddy's gone up flames. But this ain't no movie. This ain't no book you can close. When the big lie hits your eye. Everybody's practicing. Our world's an accident. I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me. It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Let the fluence sat it down. (x2) There's an upside of down. The moon is rolling round the world. (x2) |

The selfish. They′re all standing in line.
Fathing and hoping to buy themselves time. He I figure as each breath goes by. I only own my mind. The north is to south what the clock is to time. There′s east and there′s west and there′s everywhere lines. I know I was born and I know that I′ll die. The in between is mine. I am mine. And the feeling it gets left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There′s no need to hide. We′re safe tonight. The ocean is full cause everyone′s crying. The full moon is looking for friends at high tide. The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied. I only know my mind. I am mine. And the meaning it gets left behind. All the innocents lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There′s no need to hide. We′re safe tonight. What. And the feelings that get left behind. All the innocence broken with lies. Significance between the lines. We may need to hide. And the meaning that get left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. We′re all different behind the eyes. There′s no need to hide. |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |

Haunting, familiar, yet I can′t seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place, I wish I′d seen the place But no one′s ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x) I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me, you wouldn′t recall, for I′m not my former It′s hard when, your stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that′s what no one wants to see I just want to scream...hello... My god its been so long, never dreamed you′d return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts they fade...away... Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

Time to emancipate I guess it was the beatings made me wise But I′m not about to give thanks, or apologize I couldn′t breathe, holdin′ me down Hand on my face, pushed to the ground Enmity gauged, united by fear S′pose to endure what I could not forgive... I seem to look away Wounds in the mirror waved It wasn′t my surface most defiled Head at your feet, fool to your crown Fist on my plate, swallowed it down Enmity gauged, united by fear Tried to endure what I could not forgive Saw things (4x) Clearer (2x) Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror... I gather speed from you fucking with me Once and for all I′m far away I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...
