Socratic

Alexandria drives a school bus
As she stares back at empty seats
Reminds her she will never have kids
She adopted a sickness when she was young
And neglected her health for so long
She'll never drive children of her own.

This acne on my face keeps me modest.
Plus, I'd kill to grow just two more inches
I'm last in this line where I stand and they handout
Five drinks a day, just to be social
and hold up my head high enough to pray
Up to a sky that is holding me down

She plants all her seeds into concrete
to watch all the little roses grow with scratches.
Nothing can be as perfect as her.
She fed all her friends to get really fat
So no one would notice them.
All eyes must be glued on the royal Alexandria

Sexless with my friends keeps me honest
To how jealous and sorry I really am.
I'm last in this line where i stand and they handout
Five drinks a day just to be social
and hold up my head high enough to pray
Up to a sky that is holding me down

Hey all you screamo. What's the deal
When any talent that you lack
Is covered up by the fact that you can scream out really loud?
Say things that were said before
Every lyric that you sing it sounds the same.
I stay honest just enough to hate.

Five drinks a day just to be social
and hold up my head high enough to pray
Up to a sky that is holding me down.

I smoke five joints a day, just to be social
I hold up my head
I'm high enough to pray
Up to a sky that's holding me down.

I'll find myself in the worst of slums.
I could use some slack if you could cut me some
I'll go first, oh no I insisted.
Into orchards filled with oranges
And I'll drink myself to life

Every day when I leave my house I water my grass.
The lawn sings and assures me to "Have a nice day while you can afford it.
Soak up the sun before they make you buy it."
Sometimes things don't pass.
They kinda just stop coming.
Just like my paychecks.
I don't equal up to the work that I put in.
You said you need me even though I'm an asshole.

Lately I don't get enough sleep.
The bags by my eyes can carry my groceries.
I drink wine just to feel more romantic.

The creeps that your grin gives me keep me from slumber.
Your currents are violent and holding me under.

Let's take a walk down back to that playground where we were just girls and boys,
sand and toys, nothing ruined our days besides the rain.
As we get older it rains more often.
We become toys waiting for someone to pick us out of the sand.
To hold our hearts and help us understand.

We all have those ones who will never care.
We all have those people who will never call.
We all miss someone way too much all the time.

Take me on ship and we'll kiss this anchor out to sea.
Some soldiers they shoot.
Some miss their call to duty.
I'll extend my arms out to learn a lesson that no teachers teach
on how to admire the morning in case this is the last one that I'll ever see.

Dont come in unless you're going to kiss my feet
Not even the worms can get as low as I get
How can I rest well with my family in the next room
Talking how sad it is, and how expensive I will be

I sleep so sound, so still tonight
Hold me down before I hurt myself
Let me go for a casual stroll
They dress me up in this fancy robe

Undress me doctor please
And don't you love how naked I get at your command
I just saw you weeping in the Triage
Was it the Mrs. and how she's going to leave you?

I sleep so sound, so still tonight
Hold me down before I hurt myself
Let me go for a casual stroll
And dress me up in this fancy robe

Out my window a family picks up their dad
What a touching view I have
My voice cant speak about the day
She never hears me sing about the

Don't, don't tell the doctor
How little I get to eat
But dont tell the doctor
How rarely I get to sleep
The doctors they are in need of doctors
The doctors they are in need of doctors
The doctors
The doctor they are in need

I sleep so sound, so still tonight
Hold me down before I hurt myself
Let me go for a casual stroll
They dress me up in this fancy robe

They dress me up in this fancy robe
They dress me up in this fancy robe

Drivers in the taxicabs.
People live their roles.
Thirty-five cents.
Throw it in the toll.
They don't know they're paying what is stealing all their food.
They're forced into the melting pot where they're simmered and brewed.
He loves being sick and he looks for a cure.
(He loves being sick)

You can call this sane.
You can call this eccentric.
He marks his books with steak knives.
All we are is lunch for the sky.
Why can't we be jazz musicians?
A little melody will soon be missing.
All we are is lunch for the sky.

Let's all play the lottery so we can buy all our dreams.
I'm a self-help video with the worst themes.


Everything I wanted was all in a dream.
I still wasn't much or was that just how I seem?
He loves being sick and he looks for a cure.
(He loves being sick)

I stood back to the countryside.
I asked if you'd like to take a ride.
My moods came in two stages.
God-awful and contagious.
I can't tell you what I want to say.
The city digested yesterday.
Death is not the end it is the cure.

The search for songs has turned hopeless.
So I turn to anything meaningless.

"Hey we'll be your friends.
I don't sleep. I don't count sheep.
I talk to the shepherd.
We don't plead. We don't eat.
We just take all your money.
Trust us cause we'll be your friends."

The search for me has turned hopeless.
So I turn to you so meaningless.
"Hey we'll be your friends."

There's no right ways.
There's just wrong ways.
No wrong ways.
Just right ways.

Will you join me in this place I love to burrow?
Where I wear myself thin.
Any hand that tries to pull me out keeps me even more in.
You don't help if this means dirtying up your clothes.
Even when it's cloudy I get the sunshine.

I'm leaving but before I'm gone I have just two demands.
When you look in mirrors realize how gorgeous you are
and tear a gash in your wedding dress.
Those bells could have rang for us.
I have kids with you in my mind.

They raised themselves without a mother.
Just the stories I tell of her.
"Oh father where is she and when will she return?"
"Well I don't know. I have a confession for you, my son.
This woman I obsess about doesn't exist.
The world you live in is fake. I made the whole up."

I'm leaving but before I'm gone I have just two demands.
When you look in mirrors realize how gorgeous you are
and tear a gash in your wedding dress.
Those bells could have rang for us.
I have kids with you in my mind.

I'm just electrical left out in the rain.
I turn magical and disappear from this place that I cannot change
Where idiots rule the world.
I murder a child for peace just to get into heaven.
Then I sit around with the deceased and chat about how we were living.
I'm glad I didn't make it out alive.

Now I live in a place where anger no longer grows.
Planes don't fly over my head.
No one gives me looks.
I spend my time with my kids.
I'm just as fake as them now.
I raised them with you in my mind.
I raised them with you in my mind.
Cause I'm not as real I'm just as fake as them now as I appear.
I'm just as fake as them now.
I'm not as real I'm just as fake as them now as I appear.
I'm just as fake as them now.

The glow reflects off the street.
When can we meet for a cup of tea?
The lights they tell me I should stop but you say,
"Go, go I'll tell you when to stop."
Is this what you need?
We meet after everyone has fallen asleep.
Even though the car is cold I feel your body heat setting me on fire.

He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.
He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.

The light bounced off her feet and into a tree
Where there's a nest filled with baby birds that starve for their mother.
But she never comes.
This is how I feel.
I wait for food that is already spoiled.
I try and hide myself in fragrances but this smell covers me.

He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.
He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.

She said, "I'm not your minor girl."
She said, "I'm just your dying girl. A girl. A girl"

He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.
He pays the rent.
He puts the dense indents in the bed.

Sing me a song that will last forever
Give me your hand and I'll give you a shoulder
Sing me a song that will seem forever
I'll turn and laugh a ha ha a ha ha
Sing me a song that will last forever
Give me your hand and I'll give you a shoulder
Sing me a song and I will surrender
I'll turn and laugh a ha ha a ha ha

When I fall, I fall far.
I guess that's what I get for standing tall.
And when I see, I see clear.
I'm looking but it's blurred.
One day the world will turn and try to forget you.
Just remember to have fun.

I guess that makes it imperfect.
I guess that makes you sad.

It's too late too soon.
You enter this room, as you start to undress.

And after all, as we lie around.
But I'll go out just enough.
One day the world will turn and try to point at you.
Did you remember to have fun?

I guess that makes it imperfect.
I guess that makes you sad.

It's too late too soon.
You enter this room, as you start to undress.
In time you'll see, how small you seem.
Can you fall in love from miles away?
Away.

How can you look at me?
And how can you lie to me?
And how can you look at me?
How can you sit beside me and say a life's too young?
How can you lie to me?
How can you sit beside me and with your lying tongue?

It's too late too soon.
You enter this room, as you start to undress.
In time you'll see, how small you seem.
Can you fall in love from miles away?
Away.

You start, you start to undress.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out.
You're the only topic I don't talk about.
Your eyes so brown I can see myself in them.
Swimming in your gorgeous pupils.
It's kind of like the way I wish we'd walk around.
I'd buy you every diamond in the whole damn town.
Don't you want the diamonds baby?
Take me where the lights are low.
There's something that I'd love to show you.

I'm just like a tree.
I'll grow roots underneath you.
This ground used to be nothing but soil.
Remember when I told you everything was lovely?
I lied.
I was only confused.
Right now I'm just dying very slow.

Please let's leave for a holiday.
Quit your life and we'll be on our way with the sun in our face.
I am so guilty but you are so pretty.
Real bad is what I've got.
I'm at the bottom. You're at the top.
A shade of skin that shows no mercy.
Your lips are a sunset that sets over me and only me.

I saw myself in an alley.
This was me ten years from now.
He said, "Hey kid don't you remember that i never get older?
Hey kid don't you remember that I'll never get older?"

We burn houses bigger than this.
With a three car garage with no cars in it.
Everybody's coming but nobody's leaving.
From outside I can see right into a table for four with the third chair missing.
It's upside down from reflections on silverware.

They all want to be helpful.
I am not one of those people.
I just sit and wait for grass so green that there is no other side.
Birds that sing with English accents a melody out of time.
We're just slipping away.
