i think i'll go up to my room where there isn't a thing to do sit and stare at the wall for an hour or two and im not complacent i wish to erase them these feelings that i'm i'm falling apart i'm falling apart i find that i can't even align the right way every time painting pictures i can't even define its the life i chose its the story i wrote all that's left is to unwind i'm losing it all
2.
Be as loud as you want I guess There's no one upstairs and I don't think anyone's complained yet I'm tired despite the rent, my man If the 5-0 come just say I went out of town Find something to do 'til everything calms down We can reformulate it Run it 'til it's run its final time We can reformulate it Run it 'Til it's run it's final time And then what can we do? We can reformulate it Your guess Your guess as good as mine And then what will we do? There is always someone, there is There's always someone There's always someone There's always someone There's always someone There's always someone in the mob Who blinks more rapidly There's always someone in the mob Who blinks more rapidly There's always someone in the back seat Sitting less comfortably You put me in, despite the price And I'll be gunning for the vice I always thought was a dream We can reformulate it Run it 'til it's run its final time We can reformulate it Run it 'Til it's run it's final time And then what can we do? We can reformulate it Your guess Your guess as good as mine And then what will we do? And then what can we do? And then what will we do?
3.
When I talk to you it's never boring. But you can't stand still and I find it appealing, you jog on the spot and I watch. We talked shit about politics we had no idea about, and it worked out. And we were limping? That's all I remember.
4.
Are you angry? It slipped through my chest and into your hands Are you angry? I can’t hold this in Are you angry? It slipped through my chest and into your hands I can’t hold this in I can’t hold it in I can’t hold you in Fire in my pocket Hatred in my throat Anger in my veins Leave it alone Leave me alone Burn the home It slipped through my chest and into your hands I’ll find my way one day but until then the lines are thin
5.
I'm listening too carefully The spaces in between your words are slowly killing me, but I'm bored of playing waiting games without you (Pace yourself before you go) I'm thinking much harder than I should, but maybe racing thoughts will prop me up from where I stood This is going the same way that I was told it would (Hanging by a thread) It seems the more that I look, the more meaningless this image becomes While I was still awake, you tried to tell me something but we decided we'd be better off if some things were left unsaid It seems the more that I look, the more I'm missing look away
6.
i think i'm gonna find my sea legs, i am drifting on summer spots they caught me gleaming, my ocean arms are home & i swear i could love it always if summer stayed the same i feel like i felt when i'm dreaming when wolves forgot my name i think i'm gonna find my sea legs you swim with lively arms, you wade with lifeless arms we swim in summer lakes sunspotting in landlocked states i took my lessons, all of my learnings, threw them in the ocean, burned all my earnings weight turned to flight, lifting my shoulders (warped teeth, soft lift, haunting all of these corners) time heals wounds that pin us like boulders struggling, washed out, carry present to former) breath held so long our voices were strangers (gasping, trying so hard to rearrange this) imperfect, we're human, we're not divine rearrangers (longing too form from devine rearrangers)
7.
These fucking kids They just want shit They just take shit "I'm totally drained of any dreams Why care about shit when the worlds been handed to me I've been so fed up with this life that I have cause my mommy didn't buy me that new prada bag" Is that too bad? Lifes too fuckin bad You boys and girls need some fucking manners How the fuck could you whine with all those silver platters? While the rest just get by with what they struggle for you just keep complaining that you need more and more The wasted youth, the unseen truths While plagues run rampant in the streets Put your poison on pedestals, peel back the wool And you'll fucking see These Spoiled fucking selfish kids who just can't learn what a book is The grass gets greener everyday. As they kill themselves and waste away Pass the buck In their teenage nightmare This place will never be the same while my head always hangs in shame I wish you could see life outside diamond eyes. Where there's actual pain. Where there's gray fucking skies. Where my grass doesent get any fucking greener When you despise the majority and the minority is 4 When your only time of true happiness is screaming on a floor In a room full of kids who share one thing they love And were not these fucking cliques whose main concern are cars and drugs Because the pain that you and I feel Are worlds apart When you're alone in a room of your peers With just a cold heart. Just don't start
8.
Light years away , that is where i will be waiting miles away , that is where you will be living i thought friendships were suppose to be forever. I've been forgotten and so have you (4x) words mean nothing, I've been forgotten and so have you the past means nothing, I've been forgotten and so have you letters mean nothing, I've been forgotten and so have you feelings mean nothing, I've been forgotten and so have you
9.
Your life can end in a blink of an eye I hear the voices say I'm going to die The cables out & I'm still angry I have no pulse, the noise is slowly fading. & I'm trying so hard to grasp this bitter feeling of remorse Take back your sympathy, Keep my casket open what you lost is what you see. I hope it hits you hard every passing year, our hearts are getting cold as the seasons always change. This hollow chest where my heart should rest will never come back. So let me go while you can, I promise this will be the last time around, the last time you let me down. I'm gaining strength to take it all away, just let me go, for me. There's no turning back, I'm better off gone, 6 feet under ground while you're dying alone.
10.
On going and treason Why did it ever bother me? Did it ever bother you? And there's a light on in your room Who you'll never pray to be, who I'll never get to see And I cut the ropes that tie my arms and legs And I ask why I'm not bright enough to shine I'll fight it off for a little while But, I'll eventually die There's nothing else I need to say. What do I need to be? There's nothing left for us to lose. What do you want to be? There's nothing else I want to do, so won't you tell me? There's no reason for me to yield, so won't you tell me? Time and failure, one after another and you can choose to continue I know where you'll end up Yes, I know where you'll end up
11.
I want drugs, give me drugs Give me fabricated drugs Oh and sex, I want sex Cause I'm feeling worthless My generation has no way out Oh and pills, bring me pills Cause I need a cheap thrill I'm drinking alcohol, I've got a liver to kill Mom and dad can't stop me now Wasted, I've been degraded Strung out in my living room Jaded, the most hated This bed has become a tomb I want meth, scored some meth Cause I'm feeling tireless More coke for my nose, there's no weed left to smoke Heroin makes me feel isolated I'm alone, all alone Not fit for walking home Alone, left alone With no place to go Mom and dad come save me now I want drugs for my personality I want drugs for my stability Give me drugs to be who I am So I won't remember who I've been
12.
I’m losing hope Fuck the scene, Fuck this show I’m all alone Fuck my friends, I’m at the end. So tie the noose & let me rot. Fuck my brain & fuck my thoughts. I’m losing it Sick of trying, just fucking quit. I’m over it, Break your records, end this shit. I’m all alone, all alone, again.
13.
In heaven everything is fine Far past the broken chapels Where you have nothing left Blessed be the plagues loved one For hope has deserted you
14.
15.
Rain comes down and I'm under again Looking for reflection, feeling nothing but dead Looking for something to call my own Looking for the answers when they're so hard to find Leave me alone to die in my head, a nail in the coffin for every word you never said Rain comes down, eroding my skull Surrounded by family but I feel so alone Feeling this feeling like a beast in my cage Seeing no end with my eyes filled with rage Seeing no end, what has my life become? Seeing no end, just hang your head A life that's spent slowly working backwards A brain that's set to my own downfall Seeing, searching, feeling but with no result Crawl into the corner just to hang my head Dead man stare into my eyes but you see no life Scratching at the surface but at the bottom of the barrel Dead mans stare 'cause I see no end Crawl into the corner just to hang my head Down on the ground with my face to the floor I broke my fucking jaw so I won't bother.. You, I cannot stand, I cannot take Done digging holes, I'm done feeling safe Choking on my blood, beginning to taste, feeling this feeling like a beast in his cage Rain comes down and I'm under again, searching for the light as the thunder begins Rain comes down, eroding my skull Surrounded by family but I feel so alone in my head, I'll die here alone Surrounded by the things that I fear the most Alone in this fight, but still I fight Alone in my head, the rain, it never stops Choking on my blood I feel so alone

What goes around Finds its way back I am Calling All this off What’s left unsolved Sparks a tumor So malignant With no chance of shrinking follows you home Sits by your bed Tears holes in your sheets And shreds your nerve ends Steadfast hurry Without a crutch Don’t worry It wont hurt so much What goes around Finds its way back
19.
One day you’ll be married, and you won’t have to feel dirty purchasing pregnancy tests from convenience stores with your best friend, oh I was your best friend once, walking down the aisles picking out baby names. Yesterday I found pictures of you sitting in your underwear; a middle finger to your mother, and a fuck you to your father. There’s a flag in my doorframe, there’s a sweater on the floor, there was a time you once loved me but we both know that’s no more. But were you sure? Well are you sure?
20.
start conversations, why do i bother? your concentration's nonexistent. but still, i persist until i'm water under your bridge a current flowing quickly away from your presence the air you are exhaling more than i hoped, a sigh of smoke that dissipates and i relate so squandered. Onward towards the next verse less awk-words more quick turns music captures a moment even if it doesn't exist bogged down by a chorus words i wrote i'm now ignoring those verses burning so toss me & turn me away places place me in situations i can't face maybe i should just keep drinking or go get a new prescription what's the difference
21.
Some TV tonight You don’t say I don’t stand too close Because I never learned how to act right. You’ll go looking for an excuse To feel sad or confused When all you want to do is let them all feel abuse. You take a letter, take an I, take an S From a stupid sentence and I’m not impressed. You take a person that’s so well dressed And I will feel violent because I feel violent all the time inside of me.
22.
Mary, shut the garden door Memories, hang them from the arbor; Let them grow again, every now and then. Heavy lie your eyelids, dearie Mary, rest your bones above me I'm the ghost of me and time fell short for haunting I'll be present whether you like it or not Yeah, the ghost of me clings I'll be around, just outside of your earshot Do you... do you remember spring? We would sing songs with our wounded knees I'm the ghost of me and time fell short for haunting I'll be present whether you like it or not Yeah, the ghost of me clings I'll be around, just outside of your earshot Mary, do you remember me?

Applause, applause to the elegance Of obsessing over its elements. Like a cold knife to butter-- Rise like body of water When you're sipping your rum. Sometimes I'm crazy in love With the thing you'll become. If you think you're unhealthy It's always hit and miss Cause if you don't think of it Then it doesn't exist. But you don't think like that, 'Cause you're the wool and the linen Sunday apples and jeans The salty sand on the boardwalk The terracotta and greens Which stretches to Palm Desert Over a rovering clover Sob'ring my fields of thoughts If you think you've forgotten Then you already forgot. Because my strings do tend to ravel and unwind, I made a pact to do good and be kind. But now I find my sacred rest in what I couldn't find inside my mind. Now it's time the end to face the means, For things are most forgotten in the in-between. The gothic wave of tiredness eloped a movement in the crashing scene. Epithet, the epithet-- You feel the heat in the summer, And the love in the fall, And the lonely in winter, And the spring will recall All the feelings you have felt. It bled into your paintings In the passing of years An apparition of color A blind Orion of tears. Which always stains my clothes. It turns into my laundry Which my mother still cleans Though she don't get to see My tired face for weeks. You can't undermine its call When it speeds to your doorstep And keeps spitting half-truths All dressed up in a bowtie With black slacks and black suits. It's a mystery to us all; Like voodoo dolls in a cornfield. Like my sister's dad. Like my brother in prison. Like my new mother sad. Figure it out on your own. From what I've learned from astronomy, You'll get to know the things you'll never get to see. It's quiet now across the blasphemic sky. But we lay awake in sparks that shoot too high. The holy flame across my face did sear my lips and blind me in both eyes. I'm searching for some hint, or clue, or sign That my whole life will leave something worthwhile behind. But when my body leaves this place, I'll still remain beside these words of mine. Watch me run! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! They told me when I was a boy To write every thing Mangum said down. I was their scribe, I was indescribable.
25.
still have dreams and nothing’s changed, all of my fears just rearranged into these shades of black and grey, concrete says more than I do these days I try to outrun this growing pain, the same one that taught me how to push everyone away and dig this grave, until my feet drag again the bed I’ve made is where I'll lay. Sleep walking through these worthless nights, sleep talking to just feel alive until this skin doesn’t feel so cold one day. The winter passed as I did, when I became the faults I hid. You ask, I swear that I am okay. “Am I okay”? The distance between you and me is much farther than eyes can see. I held my breath and forced myself to choke on it, in hopes that the past was one that I could forget. I searched the sea to find myself, but it was too late. I dragged the lake and everyone who cared just faded away.
26.
“Don’t go!” is all you said to me, as I was backing out of your driveway. I stopped to roll down the window to press my lips against yours, And to wipe the tears off your face, with the hope that this goodbye wouldn’t be for good. (That this wouldn’t be for good) I watched you fade into the distance And with the passing of time I would fade from your mind. It rained all the way home. And since the time I spent with you, I’ve been spending my days alone. And most nights, I hold you in my dreams, with the illusion of feeling you next to me.
27.
It started from day one as i entered this world as a failing son. a stolen truth from a cheating liars tongue. a faint breath from my dirty lungs. And when you turned my retreating words against me, I should have never fled. But when all you know is to pull the blinds on the sun, I chose to run instead. And i try to forget the scars they left on me, buried deep inside just like a rooting seed. There is no fucking truth in the youth that I was shown Hanging crosses on the walls just to call it a home. For what? A life of secrets and stitched up lies. Tearing at the fabric of the lives that we hide. Dragging skeletons on my broken feet. The blue prints of what I never wanted to be. Alone. So what more does this fucking world want from me? I gave life to a dead root, prayed to gods, and stole from fucking thieves. But just like the sins being counted on rosary beads, I’m just as guilty, as the blood that you and I fucking bleed. So get off your knees and start living. Find faith in the air that your breathing in. Stop folding your hands, its not worth it. There is no martyr to this dying world.
28.
In the midst of all this animosity There isn't anyone that I would rather be I look around and see all these judging eyes Development is paved straight through all their lies Stand strong for what you believe in Only if you have self control It's time to show you who I really am Because I'm sick of what you have become Be yourself Stick to who you are Stand up, step away from the fault line Merge from the background If you can manage to rise above hostility Never seek to please the judge mental crowd It takes strength to stand for what you believe In the midst of all this animosity There isn't anyone that I would rather be If all you ever done your whole life is try to pursue one goal You are straining yourself I chose a road taken for granted by others Change yourself before you are changed by the people around you Scream from the silence Let your voice be heard When we are standing together We will never be alone
29.
I’ve created this environment in which I can be truly free of “social normalcy” An anarchy of thought in this unrelenting brain I’ve got It started out so beautifully, but now it tortures me; everything I see looks like shit to me It stems from corporate greed - the profit incentives of wealthy executives All my friends are filled with chemicals spoon fed by rich assholes Trying to save a buck, but it’s just my luck to get caught in the middle of this cluster-fuck Capitalize me Incentivize me Please give me a reason, give me something to believe in I’m so sick of being stuck in my head and I want to be dead – I am alive just to sleep Just a piece o the pie, that’s all I ask When I die you can have it back Look at me, crying on my knees; fucking bloody teeth The wheels of the system keep turning and spinning And grinding and burning And forcing me down to my knees A world where the well-to-be are void of all sympathy I can't live like this, I can't live like this… If I had the means I might change a few things But I don't, so I let the gears spin out of control We’re all alone in this but we do not have to be This awful place gets smaller every day And I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know what to say This horrible place gets smaller every day And it’s closing in on me. I feel it closing in on me. Fatten my wallet and make me free I want to be like everybody else I see I want to fight my way up, I want to step on heads I want to build my wealth at the expensive of my equals. I want the American dream.
30.
Can't you see the lack in me? the lack of hope and integrity it vanished so quickly no eyes could see can't you see the lack in me? the lack of love and sanity when the sun turned black and betrayed me darkness caught me it caught me and you stood there watching every place where death lies below there's always this fucking crowd they yell, pull my shirt not to leave i understand this crowd, but do they understand me?
