Hang It Up
02:57
|
|||
|
tell me if i'll feel this way tomorrow
tell me if i've got the time to make things all worthwhile
stay with me and tell me what to do now
never seem to understand when things are going fine
apathy is now my middle name
in a few more years i'll hang it up
just watch me walk away
feigning interest while my mind is roaming
to the distant fields of peace of mind
and freedom just to be
and nothing more

In Denial
02:53
|
|||
|
if only you knew
if only you could see
this longing locked up
inside me
if i could let go
if only you would
then maybe we'd know
what might be
you know there's more to life than this
it's not the things we get but the things we miss
so i will be here
and you will be there
and never the two
shall meet, oh no
always play it safe
it's just what i do
i never get what i want
just the things i need

Clowns

|
you, you're the mark
in the dark of the doorway
so you stand, you're the man
we both want anyway
yeah you, your're the loafer
you're the joker of our day
you stay, you do not change
you're always the same to me
you, you're the one
like the sun anyway
by the sill of your window
you watch them play
but you're none too good
you should be closed from view
you corrupt and deny
but you never reveal to me
red sun streaks the sky as it goes slowly down
the last one there, you're the clown
spinning 'round

Godspeed
02:46
|
|||
|
i will not even pretend to be your friend
and i won't even try to be nice
i trusted you and what did you do
you abandoned me and hung me out to dry
i thought you held the the keys to the kingdom
i thought that you were there to anoint me
but you're nothing to me
and all that means is you and i have nothing more to say
so godspeed you on your way
you have your world and I have mine
and you have had your hand at playing god
once i was free, i saw the problem wasn't me
the problem was you all along

It Doesn't Matter
02:41
|
|||
|
you know i never loved you
i only told you all the time
and all the crazy things we did
were only meant to fill up time
you know i never needed you
like i know you need me
and now you want something from me
you know just cannot be
it doesn't matter now
life is only day to day
and there's no way
you can ever make me love you
ever make me change
so you went with him to make me care
but it doesn't hurt at all
nothing you can do will touch me
you've never seen me fall
and now you come all teary eyed
to tell me what you've don
how you never really loved him
and i'm the only one

House Arrest
02:50
|
|||
|
it's like i'm under house arrest
each day exactly like the rest
it's strange and bizarre at best
And when will i be free- i can only guess
what should i wear
i don't really really care
it's not like i'm going anywhere
unshorn and grizzled to the bone
i'm isolated, locked up, and really bored
tell me when will this end
the orange man spews nothing but lies
a spray tanned oracle super-sized
we were told that this would all go away
an April miracle was on its way
so i sit here with my cat on my knee
and i wonder if i die will he eat me
and things worse to contemplate
i'm left here with this miserable fate
tell me when will this end

Not This Time
02:57
|
|||
|
standing in the corner merely biding my time
as i'm painting dirty pictures on the backside of your mind
and you stand aloof and lonely, you think you're so refined
but you just don't want to know me and i know you'll never try
not this time
sitting at the table you just don't seem to look
as you try to look so studious buried in some book
but i just can't seem to understand your silly little ways
you know that i'm not all bad i am just a little strange
a little strange
some day you're gonna look back, wonder what you've done
why you never ever considered me as your favorite one
as you live your dull and normal life never having any fun
you'll look back and you'll realize i was the only one
the only one just for you

One And One
02:40
|
|||
|
i don't want to stand here in the rain
i don't want to feel each other's pain
i don't want to know what makes you tick
i don't want to know a bit of it
so leave me here by myself
i don't need you much less anyone else
i don't need you to break my fall
i never needed you at all
i don't see the point of you
you say one and one makes one
but it always makes two
and that will have to do
i try to think through all the wine
it finally occurred to me this time
you know my friends have got it wrong
pain has never made me strong
if i could heal your world of hurt
you know it's more than you deserve
i'm tired of all your trials and woes
i've got my own problems here, god knows
