Let's make a list of our abuses,
swindles and violated truces. Let's count up the scars and fading bruises; we've no shame. Let's spread this loot out on the table. You see yourself as new Abel? Think you've met some true criminals? You just wait. You think you are so smart. You think this is the hard part? We've only just begun to see the ugliness start... Learn to celebrate corruption. Dig in deep to your dysfunction. Save the judgements and assumptions- there's no blame. Just one kiss before it starts? |

Hey, even if your world stops now,
it wouldn't mean anything. I'm sad to say, because all splashes are ripples from the distance then rings of waves... Turn them a deaf ear. I figured it out; now I'm tired. I'm putting my arms down and turning away. And the sound? I'm sure there are mouths moving but I can't hear anything. Not today... Get it off my back. I'm bruise-blue from all my abuses. |

Go before we both start to say some mean shit
that we can not let go. You know it's broke. I am such a train wreck. Getting attention but forgetting lessons I know. Remembering presents and cleaning up messes I don't. These are the things that separate you and me that's why I'm telling you so: animal-shaped hedges and white, picket fences unknown. I know alone. Ignoring caresses and putting up defenses I know. Subtle persuation and communication I don't. I broke its wings and tried to teach it to sing... maybe i should have known. Do you want to see how much I can take? Can't you just leave bad enough alone? |

So who is the new toast of the town?
Who is new face of rage? Why do need familar sound? Why do we need another anthem for the crowd? |

I found the picture of us in the yard;
somethings are lost and somethings (I guess) get found. You had that shirt onyou loved the Cars. You always wore it. I never got that sound. You had that cat... Just what was its name? I can't remember. It's not important now. I never wonder where you are now. I just forgot it. Maybe I should write shit down? Was that the day I lost your keys when we were stoned at the beach? Maybe someday you'll let me know. There was a summer, dazed in the sun until September... Its not important now. When was your birthday? Pearl Harbor Day? And I forgot it. Next time I'll write it down. I hate nostagia. It tries too hard to remember only the easy parts. Now I wonder where you are now. I can't forget it. Now that I wrote it down? Was that the day my calls were screened (I saw the caller ID)? Was that the day that I was seen kissing your friend on 3rd Street? I never thought that I was mean. How could I have not seen? Maybe someday I'll let you know. That was the day, that was the scene. I just rewrote the ending. |

The girl you used to tease is
rolling up her sleeves. She finds everything she needs in the pages of the books she reads. So angry all she tastes is flame. Her heart it churns in beats like trains. What you do and don't believe, doesn't mean a thing to me. Who we |

Drank it up slowly
As I looked at the only People in the room. ????It's ok to admit that You have been laughed at,???? Said Mr. Deacon Blues. Then some broken fool laughed And hi-fived the bar back, ????I'll have another round.???? Raised it up to the ceiling, said ????This one with feeling. What's the matter with this town.???? If I look like a mess. I must be a mess. Kick snare and hi-hat, Crushed cigarette pack, 2 is coming soon. Kids on a wall plaque, ????AYSO Champs, Summer 1992.???? ????Good hands don't deserve this.???? ????Maybe someday you'll learn kid that Silence is a sound.???? Raise it up to the ceiling, ????Make this one with feeling.???? We'll drink until we drown???? Turning on and off and on. |

When did this get so hard?
If you think you're so smart, Then tell how can anything So good fall apart? You say it got ????too dark.???? What does that mean anyway? May 1st, Griffith Park, Stayed up all night and talked And talked and talked. Locked our stuff in the car, And for hours just walked And walked and walked. Congratulations. You're half the way there. It's a victimless crime. They say it all the time, ????Some things weren't meant to be.???? Maybe one day you'll find That someone who shines. For everything we got, There's some thing we want And want and want. It's there in the dark. We are now free to walk And walk and walk. |
