Before you're pointing at me
There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's come easily So don't you tread on me 'Cause I will knock you down Some days it seems it's not worth it The fight in me is all gone And I'm not trying to be perfect But just get one damn thing done Before I lose control I pick myself off the floor Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's come easily So don't you tread on me 'Cause I will knock you down Never come a day that I'll solve you Consequently I could never leave you In the shadow of those looming battleships I love our canoe I'm ready for the falls And the still waters we will find are truth Oh there's a clock in my head And despite what it said Another one on the wall They don't agree at all And there's a schism in me And despite what you see You might see me as calm But I go off like a bomb Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's come easily So don't you tread on me 'Cause I will knock you down Whoa Oh in the comfort of strangers You don't see the danger Of just letting it flow This I know Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's come easily So don't you tread on me 'Cause I will knock you down |

I need a break something inside me said
from tv people counting the dead a break from all the sadness is what I need now, yeah I've an ache and a loss for words for apathy I sense in the herd I've heard 'em and it's senseless no questioning it And what's the point, nothing so dull could ever on Earth be brightened entirely just think about it and what's the point, nothing so slight could ever on Earth be enlightened entirely just think about it Ask me, I'm not blind I can, I can read all the signs so many have died so many out of their minds thank your lucky stars you've got it good it's not hard to be what you are thank your lucky stars We're in a place I thought we'd never get people devolved and fought or they fled but I do not know how we're going to get out of it, whoa It's a mistake to be paranoid a mental state that takes strength to avoid all the hostility and fear should be challenged 'Cause what's the point of living that way so many close their minds to what others say which ever feeling you voice and what's the point we're gonna pay sorted out one way or not we all have that day so make your choice Ask me, I'm not blind I can, I can read all the signs so many have died so many out of their minds thank your lucky stars you've got it good it's not hard to be what you are thank your lucky stars Ask me, I'm not blind I can, I can read all the signs so many have died so many out of their minds thank your lucky stars you've got it good it's not hard to be what you are thank your lucky stars |

Yeah, there's a gravity in me
pulling me to want to see what is going on tonight beneath the electric starlight I like to mix with walks of life who live life on the other side pulling muscles from their shell a place to some that looks like hell Oh, the classic song that the jukebox has on has me moving oh, the faces here make it so surreal Oh, in the company of pretty girls and near vagrants one drink away from sleeping on the pavement I'm not quite sure what I find so appealing about the happy hour stealing A party, after party til' it started to get grating another, and another what are we celebrating there's always something not to miss diving back in the abyss and it gets so very stale but tomorrow's a new tale In the frolic room, whoa the seat I assume, yeah and I'm drawn to the night and it's damn neon light, yeah Where are we meeting up at let me guess bet I know does it have a sign in the window ice cold six packs to go sleep it off if you have to there's a booth always in shadow the reality is all around you it's the best reality show Oh, in the company of the privileged and the nearly damned mixing like a cocktail of pure spirits slammed in the danger zone is where you'll find me in a certain dive so inviting A party, after party til' it started to get grating another, and another what are we celebrating there's always something not to miss diving back in the abyss and it gets so very stale but tomorrow's a new tale In the frolic room, whoa the seat I assume, yeah and I'm drawn to the night and it's damn neon light, yeah |

If there's a scream inside of you just let it go
you're beating yourself up baby don't you know you've got to get through and lift the roof off your soul It's like a pain locked in a part of your heart it's never gonna leave it unless you start to warm it up, be wise and be smart Out on the ocean there's no one around no one to hear a sound it's just us out here out on the ocean speaking freely Away from the city away from the ears that bug us and judge us it's so liberating to be free and my heart slows down Nice and easy and your breathing will be pleasing just speak easy and say what's on your mind I search for something to compare you to thought long and hard for a simile true now I'm suddenly aware end the quest you're beyond compare so speak easy If there's a shadow in your life then there's sunshine things turning inside out all the time just rewind, it's all in your mind Ooh so speak easy out here we're floating late in the night and the only light to guide us is a full moon that's glowing on the sea Nice and easy and your breathing will be pleasing just speak easy and say what's on your mind I search for something to compare you to thought long and hard for a simile true now I'm suddenly aware end the quest you're beyond compare so speak easy speak easy speak easy speak easy |

Not the back of a gentle mother
I do like a manhole cover It keeps on pounding my head We'll order water Torture sauce and economics Every day just more comics In a pissing contest That started out with atomic bombs Mom will they drop the bomb Will they think about their children's children Be a forwardless mess and this No one to call You can't make them stall I want to feed them to each other Cause I'm sick of them all How can't you see something's missing Is anyone listening We're shooting up flares Does anyone care They got this world locked down bound and gagged From the reds in Pine Ridge to that land in Bagdad When did our leaders Become bottom feeders We're shooting up flares Does anyone care They got this world locked down bound and gagged With constant fear and paranoia toxins in our head It's just something they know how to do How to make everyone feel uncalm The masses just take it while they turn the screws Bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb It's just something that we got to fight How to make everyone feel uncalm Keep us distracted with ?? Porno shows, MTV hoes, and all the radio It's the same fucking song That's just the way it goes Cold turkey world to democracy's girls From the rules of engagements sweet heart This is the world How can so many sit silent Enough to the violence We're shooting up flares Does anyone care They got this world locked down bound and gagged The Botox, Barbie dolls, and magazine ads It's just something they know how to do How to make everyone feel uncalm The masses just take it while they turn the screws Bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb Embodying all that we know to be wrong How to make everyone feel uncalm When a war chant becomes a popular song |

No matter what I do
I always wait for you So I guess that's That's what I gotta do It seems I'm spending so much time Waiting And when you can't make up your mind I'm waiting for you If that's what it requires Then waiting's what I'll do So hurry yourself up I'm waiting Just hang up that phone You already know on your own What you need to do, and what you got to do It feels like I'm losing my mind You know that I'll deal just fine It seems I'm spending so much time Waiting And when you can't make up your mind I'm waiting for you If that's what it requires Then waiting's what I'll do So hurry yourself up I'm waiting I know you're thinking my love's a gamble And you're not sure that you're gonna win now babe Take your money and double your bet And see what happens, watch out And taking my love down to your pawn shop Tell me baby what should I get A wedding ring and a boom box Boom box, boom box, boom box, ooowww! And what else can I say It will do no good anyway As long as you know that I'll keep waiting It seems I'm spending so much time Waiting And when you can't make up your mind I'm waiting for you If that's what it requires Then waiting's what I'll do So hurry yourself up I'm waiting And what else can I say It will do no good anyway As long as you know that I'll keep waiting For you I'd wait forever Because I know that one day we'll be together Maybe it's because you know I'll wait You know I'll wait I'm still waiting |

Between this world and the next
I want to locate a bit of you Will I feel it or gaze in emptiness Who'd guess it could be so unfinished A never ending infernal process Yeah where is that bliss The ordinary life I knew that was so exquisite You long for the flowers I get more from the hours spent Minutes that are free of dissent A day without argument You said you long for the flowers That you remember A song sang from the shower How I used to bend words You asked me where did all that go And I have no answer I admit that I'm giving up hope And wondering if it can survive One day will we just begin again One day will we begin again You said you long for the flowers That you remember A song sang from the shower How I used to bend words You asked me where did all that go And I have no answer I admit that I'm giving up hope And wondering if it can survive Don't think I take lightly The wilting we feel I wish for surviving But time, but time It steals like a thief Whoa, don't think I take take lightly The wilting we feel I wish for surviving But time, but time It steals like a thief |

There was an earthquake
In her dreams so she thinks her Foundation is crumbling away Fault lines in her words Hoping to show a soul disturbed that Has shaped her to what she is today Getting through to her (x4) Sometimes when I call She tells me things that were not her fault And her surface will start to break Breakdown a hurting sound I want to tell her that it's ok now But I'm not too sure just what to say Getting through to her (x4) All she wants is some breathing room If not tomorrow surely one day soon All she wants is some breathing room If not tomorrow surely one day soon Excuse me did she say She wished she went away And not return to the shame Brought to her those days We'll take man's dirty deeds And suck them out by cosmic means Into the sun hurl them Where they'll be happy burning But life is not tv Life is not tv Life is not tv She's on wounded knee And well crazy horse that's me Her hard parts I'm cradling I feel refreshed when I watch her sleep Sometimes that's all I need It's all about the company we keep Getting through to her (x4) All she wants is some breathing room If not tomorrow surely one day soon All she wants is some breathing room If not tomorrow surely one day soon If not tomorrow surely one day soon |

There will come a time
when I no longer am I will take my last breath and on that day I'll be dying At that time will I feel at ease will I dream and be at peace these are things that no one knows come on help me now Why must I think of this until I find peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind there were times I thought I'd never come around I can tell things are getting ok now What if there is no ending and we turn from where we've been to a place where all we can see is light pouring in Am I really all that far far removed from that ending part or just a little closer to the galaxy's misty heart Why must I think of this until I find peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind there were times I thought I'd never come around I can tell things are getting ok now Why must I think of this until I find peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind there were times I thought I'd never come around I can tell things are getting ok now |
