Raine Maida

I walked around my good intentions
and found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
we hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
then a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong

If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
just like the sunny days that
we ignore because
we're all dumb & jaded
and I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

I walked around my room
not thinking
just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much
like somebody else
I never thought I would just
bend this way

Suddenly something I'm not
You're something that you bought
Was it something I said, my friend
A little girl are you tripping on this
Are you tripping all over it
You better come up for air
Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My
And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be
There

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
And finally you think you're alright
And that it eats you up alive
You better get used to it
Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My
And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

I know
It's stuck inside your head
You're alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
You're strong
It sucks you in again
And you're lost
You can't make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
You're nothing but the best
And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

Fell asleep today
North Ontario
Woke up far away
A place I didn't know
A woman smiled at me
She said welcome to my home
Life is different here she says now
Camouflage of gold
She said hey leave a light on for me
Hey, leave the light on for me
Might not make it home
Can we fear tonight
Not afraid to live
Not afraid to die
And hey, leave a light on for me
Hey, leave a light on for me

A suburban man at my door
But I don't think I'll let him in
He wants discipline
Discipline, control over the way I live
Wants the best for me
Old school philosophy
But I can't turn my back on him
He's a part of me
Buy me anything but I just need a friend
It's all for you
You got me where you want
It's all for you, oh
Just stop breaking my heart
You're the blood of a seed
and its all that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you, oh
You got me, oh, you got me
Jack Kerouac K-K-K-Kerouac
On the road and in my head
And the irrelevance, intelligence
A new tattoo a lot more sex
Broken families
A new enemy
And you will not make up for this
This suburban man he wants discipline
But I just need a friend
It's all for you
You got me where you want
It's all for you
Just stop breaking my heart
You're the blood of a seed
and its all that I need
Got me where you want
It's all for you
You got me, oh, you got me where you want

Leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone

So never run
You got me where you want
All for you, no- no- stop breaking my heart
Youuuuuuuuuu
You got me where you want
It's all for you, oh
Stop breaking my, stop breaking my heart
You're the blood of a seed and its all that I need
Got me where you want
Its all for you, oh
Cause you got me
And you got me where you want(It's all for you)
Oh Just stop breaking my,
stop breaking my heart
Got me, got me where you want(It's all for you)
Mmm My heart (It's all for you, oh)
You got me oh, you got me where you want
Leave me alone

All my friends alone on a hill
They're just looking down with violent
Minds out on loan
They're just not equipped
Insistence
We hope for the best
We're not making sense
In silence wait for the day
When you're better than

In this silence
I'm not buying
But you're not faking
I'm not
I guess we better hold on again
Cause this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
Still they sit alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts
Have left them out on their own
They're not buying this

Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Now your afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch
Heaven fall into hell
Looks like your boat's about to sink
So it's time to prepare
Even the angels are losing sleep
And the sidewalks are bare

It's like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm
You'll get back here again
And I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone

Oh it looks like the war was in your head
Not your heart
Just when you think it's figured out
Well it all falls apart

It's like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm
You'll get back here again
And I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone

Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the war was in your head
Looks like the war was in your head
War was in your head

I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait I'll wait
I'll wait I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
It's there then it's gone

You're a little bit shy A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird A little too bright
But you just might be That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder What Annie might have in mind Oh, no
There's something in the way she explains to me
Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful, Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry A little uptight
You're the messed up girl That every body tries to hide
You've had enough They're too unkind
But did anyone consider What Annie might have in mind Oh, no
There's something in the way she explains to me
Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful, Annie dreams that everyone is dead

There's something in the way she explains to me
Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful, Annie dreams that everyone is dead
There's something in the way she explains to me
Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful, Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You, you're me
I'm the lock, you're the key
You're the air, the air, I breathe.
But tonight I'm choking

You are my life
You are my life

You, you're the sea
I'm the waves crashing
On the ground
The ground under your feet
I'm a liar, a thief
And I'm, I'm an apology

You are my life
You are my life

You are my life
You are my life

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go.

You're life has been so hard it's dried up
Angels that can't keep guard I'm trying to
Reach your hand but i'm on fire I never planned
To fade away stay with me stop pretending
When they say you're nothing

Are you sad
Are you holding yourself
Are you locked in your room
You shouldn't be

I'm drowning inside your head help me
To answer help understand why it's
Been so long since we talked like
Friends, oh please, forgive
Me, i'm just a man
Whose makes
Mistakes

and Sara thinks she's died here once before
she's crazy
a pop-up book of flowers from grade 4
are driving her insane
no-one knows why
she's sad tonight
no-one can help her find

crying, she couldn't afford
the view
crying, these automatic flowers won't
do

another brick
another window frames the confusion
her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight
she's drinking herself blind

I've never seen your breath before
but I'm disgusted by the thought of
waiting anymore
If I look up in your eyes
will you notice me or notice it or
fade into this accident

I don't want to find
the big dumb rocket on your mind
its mostly you & mostly me
and a tired gun that's not empty

I've never been this sad before
but I'm disgusted by my fingertips
and what they've done
if I look into your eyes
if it must be true you must believe
I've never held such violent things
I've never talked to God before tonight
but I'm disgusted by...

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting they're chasing me
No one listens but i'm ok with it
Only I wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied
The world's a blister
But i'm ok with it
Don't touch me
What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again
Lonely I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it
Don't touch me
What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again
But I'll be back again

He wantly why I don't know
He shutting me Let me go
You wantly why I don't know
You shutting me Let me go

What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

It's time for forgiveness
It's time for relief
It's time that we've wasted
And it's time that we need It's time for decision
It's time to be brave
It's the time of your life
Don't let it slip away Boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world, boy It's time that we borrow
And it's time that we bleed
It's time that will cure us
You just gotta believe, yeah There's a warning up ahead
The alarms gone off again
But the sun will fill the sky, fill the sky Boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming I'll get you out of here
Don't carry the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world Just when you think you're done
The war can never be won,
I, I'll be there to pick you up
And dust you off
And bring you home
And make you feel loved Don't carry the weight of the world And boy
You'll be running but can't get anywhere
Don't carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming, I'll get you out of here
Don't carry the weight of the world The weight of the world
And the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world And tonight is a fireball
And tonight oh you're not alone
And tonight we start again
And tonight, oh the best is yet to come

Breathing must be overrated.

Counting.
Time and tact into.
Ruining holidays and face.

Is it so shameful to dream?
Is it to sleep?

Severing ties because it makes new in the end?

Understand this understatement.
I would do it all again.
Do it all again.
Do it all again to take a spin around again.
Do it all again.

Ahhhhh......

I'm home.

I didn't ask for this.
I didn't ask for this.
I did not ask.

I'm home.

Cut it.
Cut my...throat.

It's time to end the song.

Little white house
It's everything we dream about
We wanted you to know
I'm hanging up my e-go...
We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I wanna be your shadow
Mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Oh bury this hate
Build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Oh bury this hate
Build it with love, ho oh

Little batter high
Grass wasn't greener I found
Wanted you to know
Well I dug you up a rainbow
Mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Oh bury this hate
Build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Oh bury this hate
Build it with love
[Guitar Solo]
And I know
I know I failed you
And I hope
I hope we get through
Show me your hand again
And I know
I know I failed you
And I hope
I hope we get through
Soul signed hand
Mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
Oh bury this hate
And build it with love
The mystery is gone
Bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love

The mystery's gone
The mystery is gone mmm hmmm

The mystery's gone
Bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love

Little white house

Crave security.

Bring it close.

Lower the temperature to 30 below...
And that is just a glimpse of how it feels.

Forget it.

I hope I make it through the winter.

tired & jaded
this road is unsafe
have you been there
but time is on your side
you're too stubborn to wait
are you listening
they want you to know
they want you to stay
but its too much to take
so you're running away

it's more than I can bear

car crash
ending your day
at the side of the road
are you trembling
they'll wake up today
to the papers that say
"oh well" it was too hard to tell
he was swerving they were swerving
much too late

> Oh my my
Look what I've done
I'm on the run
I've got California
I kissed you goodbye
With a tear in my eye
I packed up my truck and went for a drive
These white yellow lines
These angel filled skies
The Road might be long
But it's my road tonight
It's a Leonard Cohen song
A Buddah/Allah Monk
You can be anything you want
I'm an Italian Catholic punk and I'm on my way
On my way
Oh la la lo, I'm on my way
The ocean appears
The wind slaps my face
Oh, Shangri La
What a beautiful place
I'm nervous but steady
I'm scared but I'm ready
No turning back
3000 miles in a Chevy
And I slam on the breaks
Put my toes in the sand
Look to the consellations
And I throw up my hands
I said, God be my driver
God, be my lighter
Nobody ages
I guess nobody dies here
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life
Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday
I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey
I'll come home
But it seems so far away
The sky turned red
The ocean pulled away
What the hell's going on
How come no one's afraid
I said hey Mr Soul
What you got for me
I pulled out my wallet
I know nothing here's free
And God do you back this
This town is a black list
Oh boy what a big mess
Even Mickey's on acid
I'm willing, and able
My cards are on this fable
Come on, Alice, we're too good to wait tables
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life
Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday
I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey
I'll come home...it seems so far away
Seems so far away
You're so far away
Oh ohohaoh
And oh ohohaoh
Oh
Oh my my what have I done?
What have I done?
I went to California
I'm gonna leave California...

Carnival
you know you're not a strong man/ and you're just about to cry/ hang on it's alright/ you worry about the future/ the sign said "Yoga Class for Cats"/ it's okay/ the dynamite is waiting/ they bankrupted the sky you're frustrated by the cracks in the pavement and every mother's back... once again/ the carnival closed down/ but if this world ever turns around/ you'll be there when everybody is sane.

To a noisy early morning I give myself to sleep
And shake the cover of this well mounted restrain
And gather mine gather mind.

We've done this once before
Yet still it seems freshly dug.

I swear this to my children
I will be a proper guide for my head will be on straight,
My head will be clear.

We've done this twice before
Yet still it feels freshly dug.

Shine your light onto my miles of failure
And cast the new dance.

You swear this won't catch with to you,
But who's that on your shoulder?

She's sweet like honey
Sour like democracy
She don't want your money
She needs your sympathy

She'll be your greatest lover
But she doesn't belong to you
She's unlike any other
She doesn't belong to you

Oh, she's your China doll
She's patient, won't be for long
She's hopeful, the time's running low
She's gone before you know

She's the alarm bell ringing
And she's your latest fix
The fat lady singing
The truth and that's some trick

Oh, she's your china doll
She's patient, won't be for long
She's hopeful, the time's running low
She'll be gone before you know
Before you know, before you know
Before you know, you know

She's sweet like honey
Sour like democracy
And she don't want your money
She needs your sympathy

Clumsy
Throw away the radio suitcase/ that keeps you awake/ hide the telephone in case you/ realize that sometimes you're just not okay/ you level off but it's not alright now/ you need to understand/ there's nothing strange about this/ you need to know your friends/ I'll be waving my hand, watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud/ maybe you should sleep/ maybe you just need a friend/ as clumsy as you've been there's no-one laughing/ you will be safe in here/ throw away this very old shoelace/ that tripped you again/ try and shrug it off/ it's only skin now/ you need to understand/ there's nothing fake about this/ you need to let me in/ I'm watching you.

Just don't know what to say
I'm tongue tied, I'm a scatter brain
Can't eat, can't sleep these days
Staring out past the milky way

My head spins, my heart explodes
I'm a sheep in these wolf clothes
Senses on overload

These are my confessions
I write them on the wall
Obsessed with my obsessions
I'm not surprised at all

In need of some direction
Some expensive therapy
I emptied out my pockets
But the best things in life are free

Just don't know what to say
Oh God, make it all go away
I can't love, can't hate these days
Damn, I just want to be entertained

Been high and I've been low
The devil's here to take my soul
I can't take this anymore

These are my confessions
I write them on the wall
Obsessed with my obsessions
I'm not surprised at all

In need of some direction
Some expensive therapy
I emptied out my pockets
But the best things in life are free

Out there in the distance, a sunrise
Only for a moment, I'll rest these eyes
Oh, I sing but I'm dumb and it's a shame
Oh, I sing no one's won it's just a game

These are my confessions
I write them on the wall
Obsessed with my obsessions
I'm not surprised at all

In need of some direction
Some expensive therapy
I emptied out my pockets
But the best things in life are free
These are my confessions

Take all your pills and divide them
By colour size
Take all your problems and advise them
That everything's fine
Since you ran away you've been beating
Your habits to death
But if you were to stay would you feel them
This white happiness
Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
Somebody knows
That you're not laughing

Take all your pills and divide them
By number and might
Take all your problems chastise them
Because everything's fine
Since you've ran away you've been beating
Those ladders instead
But if you were to stay would you feed them
With violence and ...
repeat

The telephone is ringing, disconnect the line the tension is building but I'm alright the stars are colliding, so you might as well let me go/ the television is burning because I set it on fire the wheels they keep turning, but I'm fine what about the questions we have locked up inside/ somewhere, somehow we've been denied hand in hand we walk behind pretending, defending while our souls are tied/ It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides But something reminds me that you lied What about the consequences? This can't be right

So you feel that stain of dried up discussions without weight It's that feeling that you will not have to destroy It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore/ the dirty walls/ So you've been plagued, but is everything okay I cannot bear the shallow words they throw It's that feeling that you will not have to emply it's that feeling that you will not... it's got to go/ this conversation is going nowhere it's as transparent as f**k this conversation must be over because all I see is mud.

I crawled out from the pain of yesterday
I crawled to you and
I said all the things that you said to say
Have I said enough

Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah

I know why you're playin' these dirty games
They're killing me and
I know how you love to watch me beg
Well here I am

Do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, oh yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to,
You, you, you, you, you

It's too little too late
Well I can't escape
So beggin' you please
I changed all the things that you told me to change
I'm on my knees

Do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you

I just wanna get out
Stuck inside of this
Waiting for something else
Waiting to exist
Can you offer me help
Help from what I missed, I missed, I

Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you oh I

For listening to you oh I
For listening to you oh I
For listening to you oh

Can't get out of bed
Straighten up my head
I swear this is goodbye
I feel like lying here
I feel like dying here
And only you can save me tonight

I felt this girl spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn't come so fast

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

I feel powerless
I feel underdressed
I swear this is goodbye
I don't wanna go
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight
I've been hiding here
I've been lying here
Watching life pass by
I want you to know
I want you to know
I'll die for you
I'll die for you

I felt this girl spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn't come so fast

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

Everyone's losing their minds
Healthy in paranoid times
I sit on my prints for tonight
It's never goodbye
It's never
Goodbye

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you

Don't stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
Oh no one will ever compare
Will ever be better
Better
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you

I know this girl as pretty as can be
The sign of an Aquarius, she was born on the 18th
UFOs, snakes and spiders, give her the creeps

And she's got a half life
A half smile and lives in semi luxury
Questions God, drugs and bullets
And the high school beauty queen
And she's courageous but scared to death
But that's what courage means

She's looking for some courage
She feels faithless, she feels earthless
She wants to run, she's strugglin' for purpose
I tell her hang in now it's worth it
You've just begun, you've just begun

Her bedroom is her temple
The books and the stereo her muse
And she feels humbled by this equation
And sets fire to all her shoes
Not because of Henry Miller
She's just not leaving anytime soon

And as the smoke pours out her window
An image forms behind the moon
And it looks like the face of Jesus
But if it's Jesus, she needs proof
At the heart of the matter, the matter of fact
The science of matter, she hopes that it's true

She's looking for some courage
She feels faithless, she feels earthless
She wants to run, she's strugglin' for purpose
I tell her hang in you know it's worth it
You've just begun, you've just begun and you've just begun
And oh, and oh, just begun and oh, and oh, just begun

I know this girl as pretty as can be
The sign of an Aquarius, she was born on the 18th
UFOs, snakes and spiders, give her the creeps

And she's got a half life
A half smile and lives in semi luxury

And the high school beauty queen
And she's courageous but scared to death
But that's what courage means

I tell her hang in you know it's worth it
You've just begun, you've just begun and you've just begun
And oh, and oh, just begun and oh, and oh, just begun

I'm not waiting for the answers
On a Sunday afternoon
I'm just too drunk to remember
Why I always slip through

The drugs and fake ambition
Have been helping me to hide
But it's the endless television
That has kept me inside

Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?

I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved

But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

I'm not asking for forgiveness
For the things that I don't know
But I'm really not that different
You just made me think so

Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?

I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved

But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
You're the big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

Black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And I'll remember this someday

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

You've got it oh so bad
But don't start the long way home
The failed ones just go to show that you're better off with us.

You've got it bad.

Soon they will empty out the tanks
And the water will then fill the streets
So without a boat to build.

Dear Sir or current resident,
This letter's sent to inform you of things you may have missed.

Tread the deep, learn to swim or let it wash you out to sea.

It seems that all the colors faded
And all the beds you once had laid in
Are now just whispers in the halls.

He truly was our number one
We may have struck our glances once
And had he ever given word I'd eat my kids,
Sell my shit, and hit the road screaming
We've got a war to fight
For fear they've stolen all the fun
We've got the end in sight
But we won't last till dawn.

So follow, just swallow.
We'll all go (down) while he tows all our hopes right of the back door.

Cower at the call for you have fooled yourself.

Plan stand fail.

This feeling's never been a stranger in this house
And this moments passing on
Oh without angle.

Abandon the truth for a chance.
Abandon a touch for a taste.

A shelter for a shack.

It's come to be that I've never done them any good
So merge into me and we'll taste of promising endings.

Abandon a truth for a chance.
Abandon a touch for a taste.

Though I should be soaking in my own spewed sort wisdom,
I gather anchors I must remember...

That it is their own slack to gather.

Oh how can I separate the weight from the weighted?

Grant it to the open water.

I confess everyone
is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today
and unimpressed
I can't remember all the names
Everyone you meet today is
just so fucking vain
Bored again by happiness
and All those friends
I've lost in there
I lost in there
I'm upset happiness
is not a fish
that you can catch
Imagination can't resist
laziness That pins you down,
get on your knees
Everyone you meet is feeling
useless and ashamed
Bored again by happiness
and All those friends I've lost in
oh oh oh oh oh~
oh oh oh oh~

Everyone you meet is feeling
useless and ashamed

Bored again by happiness
and All those friends I've lost in there

But I wanna remember
But I wanna forget this
But I wanna be get alone

But I wanna remember
But I wanna forget this
But I wanna be get alone

I lost in there

Over there well he's wandering/ is oskar there is oskar alright/ was never cool not allowed to fit/ he never knew what he liked/ over there he's the rubberman/ a rubber dress with Betty Page eyes/ was never cool he'll never settle down/ he's not allowed to drive/ he'll build a bridge then walk around don't ever call him dumb/ he's not that bright/ he's just not himself/ I will take you somewhere/ somewhere to unwind/ you're tangled up in all this s**t/ I will make you mine/ over there he's a superstar/ a taximan and a young eisenstein.

Over there well he's wandering/ is oskar there is oskar alright/ was never cool not allowed to fit/ he never knew what he liked/ over there he's the rubberman/ a rubber dress with Betty Page eyes/ was never cool he'll never settle down/ he's not allowed to drive/ he'll build a bridge then walk around don't ever call him dumb/ he's not that bright/ he's just not himself/ I will take you somewhere/ somewhere to unwind/ you're tangled up in all this s**t/ I will make you mine/ over there he's a superstar/ a taximan and a young eisenstein.

Hope
Hope climbs atop of the piano reaching out towards the warmth of the sun some man tries to ask her down but now maybe that's where she belongs my god she said, I'm the sunflower who wants my god he said, this woman is gone into the dark is there anybody there/ my god she said/ he climbed up top to find that she was slipping Let her go, let her go, let me go how long must we leave before we're winning they don't know, they don't know, they just don't know/ If she can't be there I know it's best that nothing is denied If she can't be there I know it's best that everyone change sides.

So, you've made up your mind
You're tired of trying
Time to be scared
And you wanted to fly
You can't close your eyes
Time to beware

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

So you wasted your time
You willed it goodbye
Time to be scared
You thought you could buy
Your last piece of mind
Time to beware

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

Well it's good to know that you'll be okay
I've been waiting for this and I'll be there
To sit while you pray no one's blaming me I'm
Not supposed to wait when they open up your heart

[Chorus]
I have been good I understood and
Like a machine they'll fix you from
The start I'm in repair the life that
We share I know that I'll be lost
But we are always in repair

And it's good to know that you'll drive away
From this car crash nightmare and
I'll be there to help you again there's
No danger we're just killing time
Again until they order up new parts

[Chorus]

Oh Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone
in the basement
With Lennon and
Cobain and a guitar and a stereo
While he wishes he could escape this
It all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul
I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
Oh Tina's losing faith in
what she knows
Hates her music hates
all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery
and a new nose
Every calorie is a war
And while she wishes
she was a dancer
And that she'd never
heard of cancer
She wishes
God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful
I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are

One day you'll
have to let it go
You'll have to let it go
No
One day you'll
stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped

We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are
one day
we are all innocent
We are we are
We are we are all innocent

Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far

Tonight, your faith has come down
To money & a TV
Psychics who've never been to mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared
Hey is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes

Goodnight, the truth has come out
Everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet god
Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare
Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes
Has anybody
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from...
Has anybody
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes

Has anybody
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes
Has anybody
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from...
That everyone becomes becomes
becomes
loneliness That everyone becomes

Time can't fix it fast enough, so we won't notice what it was that went wrong I saw something there much too familiar a butterfly with a broken wing she's fallen under, she's past the end, communication is down again the scars have healed but they're back again we've got to believe this man must bend because if you could you'd try and destroy her and there we would be with nothing at all/ Is it safe to be a man when you're tired and lonely only the confident know where to stand Is it safe to be a man when the world is loaded with thousands that can't figure out just what they did/ time can't fix it fast enough, so we don't measure just how far below you kept pushing her you'll have to pay back all of the years that you stole she's walking backwards, she's spun around her ears are ringing loud, she's on her knees please understand how obvious it is that this man must bend.

Can you see her standing there trying to find anywhere there are flowers in her hand but she doesn't know why offered is advice to you but all you do is fake it/ mother, she's only yours tonight and she never cries mother, I know there is hurt inside Julia/ drowning in her own visions, she's begging the past to stay behind there's a black cat in the night, there's a black cat in that sky offered is advice to you, you left but I don't blame you/ we're digging up the past to bury it one last time I know there's pain inside that truth but you just have to face it.

Can you?
Can you remember the last time you were frightened?
Truly scared.

Seconds seeming hours.
No sign of relief.
Said seconds seeming hours no sign of relief.

Now fucking tremble.
I said fucking tremble.

We are losing face and angles to this circle shaped existence.

Tasting dull like rubber mouthed movie screens and overexploited dramatics. Dramatics.

I cannot cry.
Cannot cry.
Cannot cry.

(Keep digging.)

This reality is overwhelming in heads like grave plots and concrete fences.

Can you remember...
The last time...
You were frightened?

Hey what do you see/ it's not me not me/ why won't you share/ it's not fair/ there's a bicycle show/ where the bicycles flowat/ and I wouldn't of cared/ I won't be the one who bothers you/ I won't be the one who lets you down/ now that you're there/ you're not scared/ why would you care/ it's your dream, not theirs/ there's a cigarette theif/ stealing cigarette diesease/ I wish I was there.

Mother, will you think of me
in your prayers?
This 21st century is a mess
Oh you can try and fix it
But it breaks
Oh you can try and love it
But it hates
Oh it hates

This is for everything we had
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

And father, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost it's mind
It's our fault
Oh you can try and straighten it
It turns, it turns, it turns

And this is for us

This is for everything we had
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine
Nobody left in line
No-one to make you shine
Hanging on to the backs of opinions
You've borrowed & betrayed

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother Another A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother Another A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

Lying awake Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother Another A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you
Lying awake Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother Another A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

I can be anything that you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think
I found the note down in your car
And its not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard
Hold your head high Don’t look down
I’m by your side Won’t back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I’m not made of steel

But your secrets safe with me

A holy cross, some sympathy, oh

And you climbed up here to fall apart Fall apart
Hold your head high Don’t look down

I gave up on you.
And your exercise
And the world that I knew
Then, I fell back on you.
Cause I need more time
And I need an excuse

I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your Jesus, I'm your pride

We're made to heal

I depend on you
For the wings of life
And the air that you move
And I defended you
For this one last time
For the nerves you abuse.

I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your Jesus, I'm your pride

We're made to heal

You feel the love You feel the past It's all the things you thought you had Oh, I woke up in hell today I woke up depressed and drained But that's ok cause I promised not to hurt you again Apparantly I'm to blame But apparantly I've been framed My memory that won't help me When it's happening Out of mind Out of soul Out of light Out of control Standing in the middle of yesterday When it all went wrong And we made mistakes I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say But it won't be long And it will be ok Oh, I promised you I would change I'm an asshole, and I'm ashamed And I'm upset 'cause I betrayed Everything that you gave Will you ever let me explain? Can I beg you to let me stay? Don't quit me cause I'll never let this happen Out of mind Out of soul Out of the mind Of of control Standing in the middle of yesterday When it all went wrong And we made mistakes I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say But it won't be long And it will be ok You feel the love You feel the past It's all the things you thought you had You feel the love You feel the past It's all the things you thought you had Standing in the middle of yesterday When it all went wrong And we made mistakes I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say But it won't be long And it will be ok Standing in the middle of yesterday When it all went wrong And we made mistakes I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say But it won't be long And it will be ok We'll make it up to you Make it up to you Make it up to you

He woke this morning forgetting how to smile.
His outfit was the foundation of all that took him serious.

We jump so high and cry the loudest.
'I have so much to offer!' he screamed,
'So much to give!'
All the while pointing to the merchandise table.
My words are so deep.
So deep. So deep.

Sell sell sell! Sell sell sell!
Sell sell sell sell me.

I thought of them all myself.
Honest 100 times over.
But would you hand me that dictionary?

Are you there, and is it comfortable?
Did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
The pressure is deceiving,
And for you particularly should we let a young man die?
Let him die if he wants to?
I can't live here anymore
It's hard when you reach for that floor and
And there's something that tears me inside, so I can't
Go brother are you there?
Now tell me is it wonderful
Or were you hoping to find something a little more?
Climbing down the hours I need to know now
Do the hands of time only rule this chapter
I'll have to try once again, I'll have to try when I want to
There he's on his knees again
Trying hard to understand
Why Naveed would let a young man die
Convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone
And then another day has gone

all you people can you feel it waiting innocence and love wrapped in the arms of the burning neon i feel it, i feel it/ xlt's so entertaining and so wonderful it magically calls for you/ big neon crossing show me the way save my soul today/ don't you worry and don't be afraid does it send you to the world appealing where there is spoken word that I can't take so I'm the liar, I'm the liar/ You'd be disappointed to find out that the magic was not really meant for you.

There’s nothing you can say Nothing you can do
There’s nothing in between You know the truth
Nothing left to face There’s nothing left to lose
Nothing takes your place
When they say You’re not that strong
You’re not that weak It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place I hope you’re well

There’s nothing left to prove
There's nothing I won’t do
There’s nothing like the pain
I feel for you
Nothing left to hide
Nothing left to fear
I am always here
When they say
You’re not that strong
You’re not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you’re well

What you want
What you lost
What you had
What is gone is over
What you got
What you love
What you need
What you have is real
It's not enough
It’s not enough, I'm sorry
It’s not enough

When they say
You’re not that strong
You’re not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you’re well

It’s not enough
No
It’s not enough

She sails the blanket of the sea
Peering through the waves
Her gaze is whispering the call back home.

From the shores of self scream
Shafts of light cutting through great blue
From the shores that beg to be renewed.
As the sand courses through his veins.
Those bright lights they burn off all his shame.
They find him walking the bottom of the ocean,
Sifting through the grain,
Calling out with water lungs.
He's calling out with water lungs...
To all he lost,
For what they have stole from him.

His voice carries through raising sunken vessels
To carry him towards the inhale.
The ghosts who sold their voice
Traveling the very same path
Fall to a watery grave and taunt him to the bone.

Though his ocean wrists run deep,
They will not be cause to drown.

Take these plastic people
Read their lips
now let it linger
Is there anything that
makes them sound
sincere come on
tightly hold your hand
Take a deep breath
give them the finger
Are you worried that
your thoughts are not quite
clear twitch
Over looked
unfit appearance
I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I remember coughing
I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
For their lies
Unbutton your clothes
Undress your soul
show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions
easiest to fear
come on
Take this gasoline tin Head up high
walk like a winner
Let the bare feet be
the last sound that they hear
Twitch
Over looked
unfit appearance
I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I remember coughing
I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
For their lies

falling
I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I remember coughing
I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
I remember coughing
Through the blaze
falling
I remember marching
I don't want to remember falling
I don't want to remember falling

I saw Abbie Hoffman's ghost in the distance,
We got Saul Williams keeping up the resistance.
And punk rock and blues music keep dying,
We keep buying.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have taken over the mission,
Cause our politicians they don?t have a position.
Who?s to blame for this shallow existence?
Our existence.

We try and fight, but this wall's too high
Have we lost tonight?
But one second chance could change everything.

And I think I'll go write my senator a letter,
But they just talk shit they ain?t gonna make nothing better.
Me and Bev we ain't two birds of a feather,
Of a feather.

And I'm counting on Chomsky, McClellan,
Aldous Huxley and the intelligencia.
Well Cat Stevens he got out and he ain?t missin? ya
And this overpriced and candy coated life, does it fit ya?
Does it fit ya?

We try and fight, but this wall's too high
Have we lost tonight?
But one second chance could change everything.

These are bloody faces we hold in the fire.
Open up the gates, but I don't ask why.
These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire.

And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire.
Open up the gates, I don't ask why.
These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it?s time, it?s time to sing.

We try and fight, but this wall's too high.
Have we lost tonight?
But one second chance could change everything, could change everything.

And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire.
Open up the gates, and I don't ask why (could change everything).
These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it's time, it?s time to sing.

Waiting by the telephone
Breathing through a giant rubber hose
God only knows
Photographs of you and me
Pictures of the friends you used to know
Where did they go?

And don't take my picture down
And don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again
Can't find you..so I'll call your name

Riding on this satellite
Sun faded and sweaty, but that's alright
Cause I'm still alive
Always stranded in this memory
Your mouth is wide open
You can't scream
Oh you can't scream

And don't take my picture down
And don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again
Can't find you..so I'll call your name

Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know

And don't take my picture down
And don't erase everything that we had
Don't think I let you down
And I might be gone, we'll meet again
Can't find you..so I'll call your name

We live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, we push
Recent tests show we are all misunderstood
Come on and something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I well, I never knew the girl
Well and I haven't new the world
Her eye and eye oh and I never knew the girl
We beg, we pray
But everything still happens anyway
Come on now something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She kept your will from caving
But left you paranoid
You feel the constant straining
She will reappears divine
You noticed
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone
I well, I never knew the girl
Oh well I never new the world
Her eye and eye oh and I

well, I never knew the girl
Oh well I never new the world
Her eye and eye oh and I
well, I never knew the girl
Oh well I never new the world
Her eye and eye oh and I

In 1949 George Orwell portrays a chilling world

In which computers are used by large bureaucracies

To monitor and enslave the population in his book 1984



(young child sings

The year is 2029

The machines will convince us that they are conscious

That they have their own agenda worthy of our respect

They’ll embody human qualities

They’ll claim to be human

And we’ll believe them

The year is 2029

The machines will convince us that they are conscious

That they have their own agenda worthy of our respect

They’ll embody human qualities

They’ll claim to be human

And we’ll believe them

Enter spiritual machines. 10 - 15 billion years ago, the universe is born.

Take death for example

A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it

We make extraordinary efforts to delay it

And often consider its intrusion a tragic event

Yet we’d find it hard to live without it

Death gives meaning to our lives

It gives importance and value to time

Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it

If death were indefinately put off

The human psyche would end up

Well like the gambler of the Twilight Zone episode

One, two, picking up the pace
Three, four, rat is in the race
I'm on the land, I'm on the chase
I'm on the hunt, I've got no time to waste

One clue gotta take the bait
Burst through all the barricades
It's got teeth, it's got fangs
It's got me in the palm of its hands

I said, I want you
I said, I want you
Oh, do you know what I mean'
Oh, do you know what I mean'

My eyes are hollow
My bones beggin' for sleep
I won't make it through tomorrow
I'm useless with these wooden wings

This love, gotta break it down
Chew it up, spit it out
I don't know where it could be
I don't know how it found me

Arms wide crucified, crucifix
It's gonna fix it tonight
She said, it's coming for me
I threw away my church key

My eyes are hollow
My bones beggin' for sleep
I won't make it through tomorrow
I'm useless with these wooden wings

I'll ride away
On a cloud made out of hopeless treasure
I'll smile and wave
At his golden gates

You haven't seen the world outside for days You sleep, you hope, you wait Imagination disappears And all the dreams you have you save Confrontation like a mirror They try to take your mind away I don't know, but I believe in yesterday And what it means To bleed and know that you're okay Are you waiting? No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you [x2] Bombarded by the atmosphere You breath, you choke, you breath again Conversation disappears You realize they're not your friends The panic of the future rears You dig, you jerk You find another way I don't know, but I believe in yesterday And what it means To bleed and know that you're okay Are you waiting? No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what, I'm always right there behind you You open up my veins now i dont feel the same no no no You open up my brain but i wont be replaced No matter what you say No matter what you do No matter what I'm always right there behind you [x4]

How do you feel
How do you hate
How do you wake up with the smile that it's on your face
Out on the moon
If I was an astronaut could I get back to you?
out of my head
out of excuses so taring at the bed
And it's you
It's you...

I hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know how I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I sell my soul)
And you don't know how I feel

Losing my heart
Losing my pride
I burn our initials in the sun if it would shine
I need a fresh start
I was in heaven until this one fell apart
Out on the run
Out on this empty space since all of this begun
I try
I try...

I hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know how I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I sell my soul)
And you don't know how I feel

Hold on, hold on
(I can't let go...)
And you don't how I feel

And nothing seems to help
And nothing seems to work
And nothing isn't beautiful
I old enough to take all the blame for all of us
There's all the games and all the faces
I bleeding by myself and I okay...

Hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know how I feel
Hold on, I hold on
(I sell my soul)
And you don't know how I feel

Hold on, I hold on
(I can't let go)
And you don't know how I feel
I hold on
(I can't let go...)
And you don't know how I feel

Fighter planes running 'round my head
Running 'round my head, I gotta go, go, go
The sex, love, honey that I taste, honey makes me wait
Honey says she's late

A love heart hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread, I gotta save it, save it
Jack and Jill left the golden state
There's nothing left to say, nothing left to say

But I, I don't feel like I felt before, it's not happening now
My mother is at my door, it's not happening
Now, that your leaving I love you like never before
Oh, this is not, this is not happening now, can't be happening now

Love, hope heroes that can save
Heroes that can save, you gotta know, know, know, know
Laugh, hurt feelings misbehave
Feeling like a wave, you gotta brave it, brave it

Up down give me all the blame
I'll take all the blame, I'm gonna take it, take it
I'm begging but you won't let me explain
I've got one foot in this grave, one foot in this grave

But I, I don't feel like I felt before, it's not happening now
My mother is at my door, it's not happening
Now, that your leaving I love you like never before
Oh, this is not, this is not happening now, can't be happening

When you feel like your alone inside
And you beg but she won't take you there
And you can't find any wrong from right
One solution is you, don't let yourself ever care, ever care

Oh, I don't feel like I felt before, it's not happening now
My mother is at my door, it's not happening now, oh
This isn't happening now, oh

This is when she runs to the mountains, she runs to the tide
We got China Town that love like the Fourth of the July
With the doctors on call, don't forget Mothers day
This nurse is a wreck, we all start to fade away

Oh, this isn't happening now, oh
Can't be happening now, oh, it's not happening now, oh

Fighter planes running 'round my head

Shaking
So you f**ked this up again/ it's time for you to leave/ you've never had many friends/ and you thought this was alright/ you're rushing to meditate/ you should eat but probably wait/ you never thought of yourself/ why are you shaking/ why are you right/ when I will be the only one who gives and lets you in tonight/ Walk you could never walk away/ from this speedfreak collagen/ caffeinated place/ you were always reaching in/ looking for somewhere to go/ nobody needs to find out/ nobody needs to know what you know/ So you wonder about the past/ when you know that it's already been/ nothing seems to last/ can it last will it last

Last time I talked to you
You were lonely
and out of place
You were looking
down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and
feeling brave
I watched the
red orange glow
I watched you float away

Down here in the
atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to
save your tired soul
You've gone to
save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I'm waiting for
this sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
And all we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
The star that
I can see yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling
out of reach
Defying gravity yeah
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there

Hope you remember me
when you're homesick
and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come
back someday
On a bed of nails I'll wait
I'm praying that you
don't burn out
Or fade away
And all we are
Is all so far

Today's the blood from a stone
Today's a light from a candle
Helping us to find our way home
Today we carry each other
Today the past is a freak
Today's a time for forgiveness
You were never that good to me
(Welcome to this world of mine)
I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye
Goodbye

Today's tasting the honey
Today's the strike of a match
And today's the lines in the pavement
Helping us to find our way back
Today's the crosses we carry
Today's the strength that we need
And today's the hand of an angel
You were not the kind to believe
(Welcome to this world of mine)
I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye
Goodbye

Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God
And oh my God, and oh my God, yeah
Today we carry each other
Today we do what we should
Today's a time for forgiving
Today I wish I could...
I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Another bye, goodbye, goodbye
Another bye, goodbye, bye

I let go of the world that was holding a passenger that could not fly in search of souls in search of something let it go let it slide/ when I find out what went wrong I'll bring it back but it won't be easy they won't believe how a man he could drown in a starseed/ I hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing it darkens as we end this ride I've fallen back under the equator I'm back inside I'm back inside/ When I find out what went on I'll bring it back but it won't be easy they won't believe the man he could but I'd choose starseed over nothing, nothing.

I'm teething on the answers you're saving
How are you going to make me understand
I'm dreaming while your stealing babies
How are you going to help me sleep again
How should I say I'm so sorry
How should I pray to know that we're alive

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous & loving
Exhausted & cold
She's not ready to go
But the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

You're leaving pieces of family
How are you going to help them understand
I'm screaming while you're stealing babies
Why do you want to knock us down again

How should I say I'm so sorry
How should I pray to know that we're alive

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous & loving
Exhausted & cold
She's not ready to go
But the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

do you worry that you're not liked
how long till you break
you're happy cause you smile
but how much can you fake
an ordinary boy an ordinary name
but ordinary's just not good enough today
alone I'm thinking
why is superman dead
is it in my head
we'll just laugh instead
you worry about the weather and
whether or not you should hate
are you worried about your faith
kneel down and obey
you're happy you're in love
you need someone to hate
an ordinary girl an ordinary waist
but ordinary's just not good enough today


doesn't anybody ever know that the world's a subway...
