Sponge

Now and forever
The moment is gone and
Time runs out
Then it hits you with the
Pain
Things are great on the
Way up
But nobody is with you
When you're on the way
Down
You got what you wished
For
Is that what you really
Wanted
It's how I think of you
Raining in my

Indecision
Problems that took years
To build and build
And admission is too far
Away
Life in a blackout
Is like life in a storm
When you finally come out
You see that you're all
Alone
You got what you wished
For
Is that what you really
Wanted

The day you break is the
Day you're born
Then you deal with the
Blame
Is that what you wished
For
Is that what you really wanted

If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered

Like why does she feel all dead on the inside
But as a child she remembers feeling alive
who was that man that made
my mother cry all night
was that my father who was my father

If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered

The men that walked into her life
are no different than all the others
that promise the world and then they leave her
She says I should have known better,
I should have known better

Will she always feel so all alone
Why was there never a man in her home
and will I end up like my mother
by myself with no other
with no other

If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered

Delux
Sublime
Gigantic for all times
and space
I wish for you the stars
bow down
I wish for you their infinite crown

In Velveteen
I will surround
With Velveteen
in your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
in your name
I'll keep this velvet
from the rain

So long, sleep well
Your purity speaks well
as you lay
with al these flowers
in your bed.
With all these flowers
you had left to give away

In Velveteen
I will surround
In Velveteen
in your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
in your name
I'll keep this velvet
from the rain

You know
What it feels like
To be naked
To be ground by
Giant pennywheels

I dream
No one. Yeah there's
No one that can't hear
All the sounds like
Giant pennywheels

I dream
Shiny copper crushing me
I watch the wheels
Roll in your eyes
Pick one up I think it's
Junk
I'm ready and I'm willing
I'll subscribe

I'm naked and I'm wasted
I'm naked and I'm wasted

You know
What it feels like
To be naked
To be ground

Get on the rodeo that is
Your life
Beat on me
Spill my insides out on
The ground
Cut on me
I will go when i say die
I will rot away
Like a rotting pinata

See my soul
It cuts a hole in the sky
Standing near
Watch the birds eat out my
Eyes
It will rot away
Like a rotting pinata

Here lies this junk of me
Here lies this wreck that
Was me
Oh God help me rot
I don't look quite the
Same
Grab my beating heart
Tear it from this broken
Cage today

I'm rotting
I'm coloring
I'm red and black
I'm twice my size
Don't cry for me
Just pull the plug
And let me fly

I will rot away
Like a rotting pinata

Do you think she'll notice
That I'm a wreck again
Do you think she'd notice
That I've lost a new pair
Of boots
Do you think she'll notice
How I felt in bed again

I guess it's nothing new
'Cause nobody's listening
It's like giants falling
Down

Do you think I noticed
That she came in late
Again
Do you think I noticed
She's wearing a new
Perfume
Do you think I noticed
How she wore her hair
Today

She said it's nothing new
'Cause nobody's listening
It's like giants falling
Down

To begin but not complete
To sleep but not to wake
To always be lost and
Never find the way
No thoughts or memory
No hope or tragedy

A mirror waits for a
Reflection of a face
To hit the ground and know
The sound
Trial by mistake
Death's a crown we wear
Around
Like a smile on a face

They will never hate or
Lie
They will never break or
Try
They will never break or
Cry
They will never wave
Goodbye

A silence that would not
Break
The loss of a face
The face of a woman that
Arrived much too late
I break down and she sees
The clowns
I used to hide away
Death to clowns all their
Crowns
And the smiles on their
Face

They will never break or
Try
They will never hate or
Lie
They will never say or
Smile
They will never break or
Cry

Neenah Menasha will wait
Neenah Menasha . Neenah
Menasha
Will wait

I break down and she sees
The clowns
I used to hide away
Death to clowns and all
Their crowns
And the smiles on their
Face
They will never hate or
Lie
They will never break or
Try
They will never break or
Cry
They will never wave
Goodbye

Two brothers
The walking dead
Pray for the silence
Said
One shot to the sky
The other held down
By disguise

Sex for an angry man
To whores they can count
On him
One made of paper
The other glass
One will tear
The other crashed

Oh God, was I that man up
On a cross
Made of steel
Stuck on my wall cold and
Thin
Who watched me die
And did not care

Miles to go before I sleep

The inside marched on
Parade to the outside
Where no one came
What was there, it
Scorched the ground
The other made no sound

Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will chance us or will we mess up our only chance to connect with a dream

(chorus)
Say a prayer for me X3
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage X2
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

To see wide open with a head that's broken
Hang a life on a tragedy
Plow me under the ground that covers the message that is the seed

(chorus)
Say a prayer for me X3
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage X2
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality

Will I hate tomorrow
Will I hate what I can't
See
I'm doubting should I walk
Around it
Try to be what I can't be
I'm dying

I'm not happy anymore
I'm just not happy anymore
I'm drownin'

Suppose you painted the
Castle of Auvers
But everything you did
Came alive
And if you painted all
These things just to
Please me
And if you could read my
Mind

I would never be happy
What will change tomorrow
In this sea within a sea
I'm blinded

How long will I be down
Here
I'm out of air
I can not breathe
I'm drownin

I see you naked in the
Bath
Cigarette stains on your
Hands
Wilted flowers in a vase
And I ask how you are

I see your lipstick on
Your glass
And I think you're drunk
And start to laugh
And I find your note the
Letters ran
And it said I loved you

Don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the
Drain

I watch you passed out for
A while
I touch your face you
Start to smile
And on your note is my
Reply
I wished I loved you

Don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the
Drain

Oh God, here it comes
Again
Here's that memory that'll
Just break my back
And when I figured it out
I thought I'd get by
Here it comes, it'll
Blacken the sun
It'll bury me alive

Save me from myself
Turn around, throw it all
Away
Turn around until it all
Breaks down
To the fields of falling
Angels

Best friends what we used
To say
All this time it feels
Like yesterday
Remembering when we said
Goodbye
Still I doubt I'll ever
Figure out why

Save me from myself
Turn around. Throw it all
Away
Turn around 'til it all
Breaks down
To the fields of falling
Angels

If I die before I wake
It'll never end the sorrow

Save me from myself

We, we can do anything
why do they beat us down with their lies.
They object us they reject us
time after time then we ask ourselves
Why are we alive
"I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug

We, we are everything
why do they beat us down to their size
The better we fit the bigger
they get and we justify their
lousy existance.
Why are we alive
"I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug

If I was dirt
That filled up your Life
If I was dirt
So pure and so refined
I'd be the dirt that
blackened all that shined
Which one would show a purity
Which ane would show how curious
this purity has been

My purity, My purity
My thoroughness, My purity

If I was dirt
that would make you lie
could I be the dirt
in your irreverent smile
Please pass the dirt
I'll have some on mine
Which one would show my purity
Which one would show how Curious
this purity has been

My purity, My purity
by thoroughress, My purity

Drag me down and plough me
under nothing stays the same
Drag me down and plough me
under nothing will ever change?

If I was the dirt you brought
through your doorstep
And did that dirt Leave you
feeling molested
How was that dirt that you've
ingested
Which one would show my purity
Which one would show how curious
this purity has been

My purity, My purity
My thoroughness, My purity

I found your name in a book and in
that book a letter, were the words of
a girl who said that she was lead away and
left for dead but somehow she survived
it. How was it no one would believe that
you were part of their world a different world
one they denied you
If I could help you I would
help you now you can speak through me

I am Anastasia

I'm haunted by a girl whose
life's locked in these pages
But through these works she will be free through
me I know we won't forget her
She can speak through me

I am Anastasia
