Dan Garvin

I don't mean to piss you off
with things I might say
so when I try to shut my mouth
they come out anyway
So when I speak my mind
that's when we connect
But that's not politically correct

we heads so filled with thought
you can't use our imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars
you can't find a constellation
everyone's so sensitive
to every bad vibration
We're so impressing
while we're regressing
I don't mean to piss you off
with things I might say
when I try to shut my mouth
they come out anyway
There's nothing I believe
in more than my own insignificance
So why does everybody think
my words can make a difference
I just don't have time to
think up every social consequence
just keep on talking
you keep applauding
I don't mean to piss you off
with things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth
they come out anyway
If you spoke your mind you
might feel more connected
Until you get politically corrected

You lean a little to the left
or the right but
You can only see what's on your side
Look a little like a deer
in the headlights
A little blind a hypnotized
So you conform
with the best of intention
Change comes from inside
After all that's what
this country was founded on
Do nothing different
just fall in line
What happened to make us so afraid
You couldn't make a
Mel Brooks movie today
I saw Blazing Saddles yesterday
I don't mean to piss you off
with things I might say
when I try to shut my mouth
they come out anyway
I don't mean to piss you off
with things I might say
when I try to shut my mouth
they come out anyway

She clings to me like cellophane Fake plastic submarine Slowly driving me insane But now that's over So what if the sex was great Just a temporary escape Another thing I grew to hate But now that's over Why..Why you always kick me when I'm high Knock me down til we see eye to eye Figured her out I know she May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now I used to hang on every word Each lie was more absurd Kept me so insecure But now that's over She taught me how to trust And to believe in us And then she taught me how to cuss....That bitch! It's over You know i used to be such a nice boy Why..Why you always kick me when I'm high Knock me down till we see eye to eye Figured her out I know she May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now She clings to me like cellophane Fake plastic submarine Slowly driving me insane But now that's over Why..Why you always kick me when I'm high Knock me down till we see eye to eye Figured her out I know she May not be Miss Right but she'll do right now

I confess it's all true
I'm a mess what a fool
Now what do
I do I need your help to
get up from my knees
I can't seem to see the
forest for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please
forgive me

Now she knows me
Now she knows me
but She wants me to be
Someone I can't be
and she wants me
and she needs me
and she wants me
Because she loves me
I need your help to
get up from my knees
I can't seem to see the forest
for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please
forgive me
Shattered
Now you see inside
cause I no longer hide
Or fall between the
cracks you left behind
Shattered
now you're out of time
You've come this far to be denied

What a shame I'm to blame
What a shame I'm to blame
I need your help to
get up from my knees
cause I can't seem to see the forest
for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please
forgive me
I need your help to
get up from my
I am the Lorax I speak for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please

I just can't seem
to concentrate today
It seems my mind is wandering away
And all these things
swimming through my head
Fade away when I go back to bed
And I close my eyes
See how fast time flies
'Cause sunrise comes too soon
And I'm never out of bed before noon
And Waking up too
late would be too soon
And I could never be Neil Armstrong
I'd be the last man on the moon

I used to live
in a world of black and white
Until my dreams
turned day into night
And now I'm never out of
bed before noon
And waking up too
late would be too soon
So I close my eyes
And wait for the surprise
In a place I know I belong
In my head i can do no wrong
I could never be Neil Armstrong
I'd be the last man on the moon

Never out of bed before noon
And waking up too
late would be too soon
And I'm never out of bed before noon
And hide in the corners of my room
In a place i know i belong
In my head i can do no wrong
Who ever heard of an astronaut
with one arm
I'd be the last man on the moon

I'm not afraid to go backwards
fix what we broke
My gaze falls behind
you make desire seem so easy
I hold off sleep
it's so silent
without you here
Don't give up now
it would all be for nothing
'Cause I believe
in second chances
I believe the years forget
So let me fill
these empty spaces
Better late than never
Stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
Cause there's always room
for one more mistake

Can you feel that
I think we're moving
in the right direction
I was someone else then
I'd take it back
if you would let me
'Cause I believe
in second chances
I believe the years forget
So let me fill
these empty spaces
Better late than never
Stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
Cause there's always room
for one more mistake
We were never this close
when we were young
Every night I whisper your name
at the top of my lungs

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never
Stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
Cause there's always room
for one more mistake
Better late than never
Stay forever

Cause there's always room
for one more mistake
always room
for one more mistake
always room
for one more mistake
I'm not afraid

Alone again tonight
In this empty time
The sound in my head
The sight leaves me
leaves me blind
I'll write a million words
I'll sing until it hurts
How far could this be
Until it's seen
How long will I let this go
I can't stand to spend
another night alone
Alone
I stare at the empty walls
I speak no one hears
I make every excuse
And blame my fears
How long will I let this go
I can't stand to spend
another night alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
And all these shadows
come to rest
in my head
I can't see you and I
I can't hear the things
you said

There is a secret place
You'll find
a bloodstained fence
It's there the future speaks
She spoke to me
How long will I let this go
I can't stand to spend
another night
another night alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
not another night alone
Alone
not another night alone
Alone

All she's asking
is for a little more time
To walk away from his anger
and leave the bruises
far behind
She won't talk about it
she's made up her mind
But as the front door
shuts behind her
she whispers give me a sign
Feels the power of the engine
as she climbs to
65
Every piston sounds
like freedom
every white line says goodbye
She'll find strength
in her anger and the truth
in his lies
When the last scar finally
fades she'll have a new life
Say goodbye to Mr Right
Lock the door
turn out the light
Pack your bags
leave this trap
Run away
don't look back
See another day
with each new sun
Your life has just begun

See another day
with each new sun
Your life has just begun

She can still feel the
touch of his hand
Not just the violence
but the warmth of her man
say goodbye to mr right
Lock the door
turn out the light
Pack your bags
leave this trap
Run away
don't look back
See another day with
each new sun
Your life has just begun
The night she never felt
so alive
The night she never felt
so alive
The night she never felt
so alive
It's the first time
I've ever seen her smile

Not a face in the crowd
just a disposable pop star
Staring down from 30,000 feet
above the planet
She gets the sense nothing's
behind her anymore
Her quest for fame has left
her nothing short of a fanatic
For the chance to be the one that we adore
Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far
(when that's who you are because)
Fame's what she's wanting
Not a face in the crowd
just a disposable pop star

They called her princess
cause they always knew she'd be a servant
Never having an ambition in her life
They all knew she end up
just another loser's girlfriend
Who'd a thought she'd become a Jedi Knight
Bittersweet the taste of
Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far
Fame's what she's wanting
Not a face in the crowd
just a disposable pop star
pop star

Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far
Fame's what she's wanting
Not a face in the crowd
just a disposable pop star
Fame's what she's wanting
You can't go too far
Fame's what she's wanting
Not a face in the crowd
just a disposable pop star
pop star

Once inside the door
I check my face in the mirror
I look past this lonely minute
Was this the ride worth waiting for
I'm scared to death
that now I've missed it
But she was not the only stone
Skipped across this gravel road
leading down the path of loneliness
So I'll fly from this hate
pray my soul the lord will take me
To a place through
time and indifference
I wanna know how do you feel
I wanna know if this was real
so tell me what would you say
If you can make this pain go away

She plans her future
looking bright ahead
Leaves me in the past
I can't stand to hang out
with my codependent friends
My patience fading fast
But every sign and every song is
telling me I don't belong
But it's OK to feel scared
'Cause one day soon
I'll find myself
and realize that no one else
Will make me feel stupid
I wanna know how do you feel
I wanna know if this was real
so tell me what would you say
If you can make this pain go away

There's this old man
down in Fell's Point
Always hanging around
Telling me Son
the pendulum swings both ways
But for you
It'll always swing down
I wanna know maybe I know
How do you feel
I wanna know know know
if this was real
I wanna know how do you feel
I wanna know
if this was real
what would you say
what would you say
what would you say

I'm one of those things you'll save forever,
but never need.
Like an old newspaper no one has time to read
This child has grown into a dead end
Since I lost the power to pretend
But it's all right, that's who I am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day

That's no superhero standing right in front of us
So take this pocket full of Kryptonite
and beat it back to Metropolis
There's only room for one on this microphone
In my finest hour I'm still alone
But it's all right, that's who I am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day

But old news can change,
as memories float downstream
So don't judge me by my failures, only by my dreams.
But it's all right, that's who I am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day

Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
made me smile made me scream
We should take this slow
Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this feel this low

I stumble and she sees all
Waiting for me to fall
Obsessing over her
But it's nothing personal
We should take this slow
Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low
and we'll take our time
to Tell each other's lies
In a world so much brighter
If Paul were still alive yeah

Take this slow
Till I lose control
And I'm falling down falling down
Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
I made you smile
not made you scream
We should take this slow
Cause I can't let go
When it feels feels good
To feel so low
I'll take our time
and tell each other's lies
In a world so much brighter
If Paul were still alive

In a world so much brighter
so much brighter
so much brighter

Cause I can't let go
I can't let go I can't let go

I can be as humble as the next guy
Or I can blink and make you crumble from the inside
I could be every nasty thing, you ever thought a man could be

Cuz they all fall down (down)
Cuz they all fall down (down)

I can make you see the beauty of a new sun
or I can be the source of your desperation
I could be every nasty think, you ever dreamt a man could be

[chorus]

Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, i'm what you've always wanted [x2]

you can turn away like you don't even see me
Yea, you can smile like you got something I need
but every night you go home alone
and dream about being underneath me

[chorus]

Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, i'm what you've always wanted [x2]

can't you see through this disguise
Find the little boy inside
I'm afraid of falling
Love is pain and now she's calling
and she's,
Jaded, dated, i'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, i'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, i'm what you've always wanted [x2]

[chorus]

Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
i don't know if this cage can hold me any longer

you never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded

i'm not afraid of tomorrow,
i'm only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire, and i'm looking through the eyes of someone else

I never thought they'd want me to go even faster,
never thought i took my foot off the gas,
everybody loves to be in on the pressure,
but i know they're all waiting for the crash

you never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded,
things have changed you've become a complication,
can make it through another days
humiliation

i'm not afraid of tomorrow,
i only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire and i'm looking through the eyes of someoneelse

someone else...

is it any wonder why the answer keeps me petrified ,
is it any wonder why ,
i'm scared.....

The fastest man in the world
fast asleep at the wheel
Nobody wants to be alone
so how did I get here
When I look at you
When I look at you
I see him staring through
I see him staring through
A wake and a smile
cuz he's been inside of you
Is he all the things you
tried to change me into
Is he everything to you
Does he make you high
make you real
Does he make you cry
Does he know the way you feel
Love is all around you
your universe is full
But in my world my world
there is only you

I can still find the smell
I can still find the smell
On my clothes and skin
On my clothes and skin
I can still see your face
when youre sleeping next to him
Is he all the things you
tried to change me into
Tell me does he make you
make you real
Does he make you cry
Does he know the way you feel
Love is all around you
your universe is full
But in my world my world
I've had enough of fears
you let them out
Now I wrap myself around you
Like a blanket full of doubt
Does he make you cry
Does he make you cry
your universe is full
your universe is full
He's your everything
Does make you high
Does make you real
Does make you cry
Does know the way I feel
Love is all around you
your universe is full
But in my world my world
you make me high
you make me real
you make me cry
Does he know the way you feel
Love is all around you
your universe is full
But in my world my world
there is only you

Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the words that made you feel you weren't alone
Now it's funny how we find out
Time can solve the mystery but love is only temporary
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just
For show
Inside you screaming let me go
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I heaad back underground
Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the images that made you feel at home
Now it's funny how we find out
How age can change a man
Confused but now I understand
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I head back underground
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just for show
Inside me you're screaming let me go
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello
Maybe I'll Just say goodbye

Blood and dust have changed all the colors in my mind
Black has made me see but the truth has made me blind
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
In your sympathetic Sunday night I don't belong
Till all the hate that lines the face of my enemy is gone
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in fasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has leared but I ca't breathe
The new day is a prison for the souls who've lost hope
But I've been taught change comes to the ones who need it most
All the fears
All the lies
They were here
All the time

Everything you know
You wonder friend or foe
I'm the burning in your
throat when you swallow
And then you spit me out
Your stomach full of doubt
Now you're faking every
word out of your mouth
And when you won't let go
It's all about control
Understand I'm born to
lead you will follow
Now I don't wanna stay
and I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget
the way you made me feel
I won't regret
running away from here
So I say goodbye again
So I say goodbye again
And now it's there to see
you've forgotten me
Ever since I was the
prince among the thieves
So you hold me down
Strip away my crown
Can't contain me knowing
all the truth I've found
Always thinking small
helping me to fall
Now your jealousy and
hate consumes us all
I don't wanna stay
and I'm running away
Don't you hear me when i say
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget
the way you made me feel
I won't regret
running away from here
You think you see the world
but you see nothing
You think you see the world
but you see nothing
Time is only gonna make it
worse in the end
So I say goodbye again

Don't hit me with your fears
I don't fit with your ideas
You missed what I'm about
I earned my way out
And in the end
I say goodbye again

I won't forget
the way you made me feel
I won't regret
running away from here
I won't forget
the way you made me feel
I won't regret
so I say goodbye again
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
Goodbye so long nice try I'm gone
So I say goodbye again

From the minute that i met here she was diffrent than the rest
But i didn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
And I wish I would have listened 'cause I think I might have seen the signs
Now it's been a couple months and I can'y take another word
She's been pushing every button she's been working every nerve
I've got something she can swallow it sure as hell's not my pride
And I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we said goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish... she was dead
i used to hang out with my homies gettin stupid every night
Till I met her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
I got to get away from her I think I'm running out of time
'Cause I think I'm gonna die whenever she's behind the wheel
And it drives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel
I don't really want to talk so I tell her that I'm doing fine
There's got to be a way that i can get it through her head
I'm going crazy and she won't let me go
The lease gets tighter every day
Already told her she's Miss Right Now
But I wish she was Miss Yesterday

You see yourself being so small
Running into every brick wall
It's not as far as you can go
The road is twisting turning
A life is living learning
There's so much more for you to know

[Chorus]
If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

Not every problem can be
Solved so easily
Not every answer is the one
Above the flood of emotion
It's all about forward motion
Define your place in the sun

[Chorus]

Try to hide
It's all inside
You can find a place where the pain and guilt can fall away

If you're spitting truth
Bulletproof
Crashing through the walls that separate me and you

Now you'll find with everything you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose

If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
Change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

[Chorus]

Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

If you wanted to
Could your heart be true
If you wanted to
Could you not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
If you wanted it
Just break off a bit
If you wanted a taste of it
Somebody else's world
I'm a Broken Handed Superman
You're a Krypto-Nightingale Snow White
Now I understand
It's something I understand
Some things I understand
If I wanted to
Could my faith be true
If I wanted to
Could I not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
When I wanted it
I'd break off a bit
If I wanted a taste of
Someone's world
Somebody else's world
There is no sin and virtue here
Always see me
All my deamons
Always see me

I drowned my girlfriend
in her wishing well
I'm not afraid of afterlife hell
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I lit a fire on my neighbor's lawn
I didn't know to me
they were my pawns
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky than good
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky than good

I buy my pron off the internet
I get so much fucking junk mail
my only regret
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky than good
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky
considered lucky than good

I know we don't think alike
Your always wrong I'm always right
Acting not so secretly
You wanna be just like me
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky than good
i know it's not considered right
every days and not a fight
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky
i know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky than good
i know it's not considered right
every days and not a fight
i always thought I'd rather be
considered lucky
considered lucky
I'd rather be lucky than good

Make this moment last forever and a day
Watching you drive by
Not letting you drive away
Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
'Cause I need to see you one more time
You'll always be there in my mind
In my dreams you can hide
And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
They're in my mind
An angel bathed in light
Telling me everything's gonna be alright...
If I can fall asleep tonight
Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
So I'm skipping the last page to see how this will end
Have you ever felt so helpless
When the walls built to protect us
Suddenly are gone
And you hate everything that's breathing
The life you're used to cheating
Has finally caught on

I'm one of those things you'll save forever, but never need.
Like an old newspaper no one has time to read

So take this pocket full of Kryptonite and beat it back to Metropolis
