--------------------------------------------------------

1. You came to me like my alarm
I carved your first and last name in my arm
Now I only wear black so maybe then you will see
I'm just a shadow of what I'm not supposed to be
You fuel my fire with your laughs and your frowns
You call me a freak and join the circus you clown
I heard a man say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention...
No I never drank blood before but I look like I might
with my face painted white
For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away
But now-a-day's are different from way back when
so hard to be yourself when your 4+10
For the very first time I feel kind of special
My mom says be normal yet she just got a facial
My parents go away on their trip to Club Med
Then I'll join your tour and be a real dead head
I heard a girl say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention...
I spent my last ten bucks today on black hair dye
You know dye rhymes with die
For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away
Hear what I have to say
It doesn't matter any way
It matters anyway

2. I never thought the day would put a twist on what we thought was true
I smile out loud just because of the way you make me feel the way you do
Sprawled across my floor I wish that you would never have to leave my door
But if the world held a grudge against you I'd hold a grudge against the world
I wear my soul upon my sleeve
I wear my sole upon my feet
She said "I'll make you believe in what you see, I'll make you believe in what you can't"
I gotta find my elf her little wings
so she can fly above and sing
I don't know what I know but I know I want you to be with me
I see us walking hand in hand on the shore
I see us walking I want more
But if the world held a grudge against you I'd hold a grudge against the world
I wear my soul upon my sleeve
I wear my sole upon my feet
She said "I'll make you believe in what you see, I'll make you believe in what you can't"
The sun is coming up
Everyday I feel the same and I feel as though things will never, ever, ever change

3. She was the one who would make me feel so fine
And when she walked up to my window
with a quirky little smile I rolled down my window
and asked her
hey maybe you would like to have a cigarette with me
then she gave me a quirky little look and I said okay
So we stepped out side and sat on the curb and had a little cigarette
And when the cars started honking their horns at us
But those horns became our symphony
And together we danced and laughed out loud
But she would always look at me and say
I just care about the weather
Whether or not
Whether it rains
Whether not the sun comes out
I just want to share my point of view
Don't you wish your hair was made of glue?
And I said
I said
Ya!
And hand in hand we went...
There was a time
But now I wish I'd rearrange my mind
Then I'd crawl and hide inside your eyes
It's good to have some change from time to time
So let's just leave this so called life behind
So I asked her a kind of stupid question
You know what I said squeegee rhymes with quji
Are you supernatural?
are you some kind of f-f-f-freak?
Are you a witch or something?
And she just started to laugh
Well here?s a smoke and shut up
Just kinda made me realize what am I doing with you?
And she looked and me and she said
she said
Let's just sit around and watch the masses
let them pass
Finger paint our face and fall in the grass
There's so more
Oh so much more to do
Don't you wish your hair was made of glue?
Ya!
And hand in hand we went...
There was a time
But now I wish I'd rearrange my mind
Then I'd crawl and hide inside your eyes
It's good to have some change from time to time
So let's just leave this so called life behind
It's good to change from time to time
You swore you'd never leave my side

4. I wish I had some thread
so I could just sew up your nose
Eternal sleep at least you folded up your clothes
And then you went and snorted your way off the earth
But why must you always obey
When there's so much to say and do
and now your gone
I know it's true
But now the day you died has become just another day
But I guess we'll never know
I wish I had cement so I could just concrete your toes
and then you wouldn't be able to go to shows
Then I'd keep you and have you all to myself
But why must you carry the weight?
When there's so much to say and do
and now you're gone
I know it's true
and now the day you died has become just another day
But I guess we'll never know
You've been stolen away
But I really don't want you to
Cause all those words you said were true
But I guess we'll never...
We'll never know

5. How long
I said so long
Just go
A thousand hands will carry into foreign lands
And I will point
And smile
I know in your filling your memory back
I need you please
I need you so
Go with the flow
And I?ll watch you go
So go on leave, just go on go
Just to let you know
That I love you so
How long
And so long
Holding hands
You let go you don?t know how this set to me
You need to blow, so grow
And I, as my attentions are I need you please
I need you so
So with the flow
And I?ll watch you go
So go on leave
Just go on go
Just to let you know
That I love you so
I need you please
I need you so
Go with the flow
And I?ll watch you go
So go on leave
Just go on go
Just to let you know
I love you so
And I wave my mind good bye
Goodbye

6. Well Maybe it's us but I really think that it could be you
We were head over feet
it was ironic that our dreams had come true
So I packed up all my luggage and headed for the coast
Spandex, peanut butter, and more jam on my toast
We don't mean no harm
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give the more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake
Tell us that we blow and we'll tell you, "You suck!"
Throw another battery at us and we'll duck
Unpack all my luggage
Nothing else to do
There's a method to our madness and it stems from you
We don't mean no harm
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give the more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake
When everything's fake
We'll be okay
I will wonder
We will be okay

7. Another "F" again I fret
Another cocky hypocrite
And another dirty look from a passer by
Kiddy porn and lunatics and all the things that make me sick
Another suicide from a sad rock star
So get the fuck out of my face
And disappear without a trace
You annoying little prick
I'll reach into my bag of tricks
And pull out a hand grenade
Your machoism fade away
But I will not pull out the pin
Cause that's mean
With judgement day not far away
You're surfing all your days away
I don't know who to blame
Is it me or is it you
Violent death and viruses
and lack thereof
of consciousness
Another shitty song on the radio
I'll kick the teeth out of your face
I killed the cat there's no more chase
You push on me I'll push you back
So come on girls
let's go attack
Cause this is it I've had my fill
Don't find yourself inside a pill
But I will not pull out my gun
Cause I don't own one
Why can't you just let me be

8. Questions
I'm open to any suggestions
and facing the problems once faken
And I'm keeping the promises maken
Laughing at all the stupid ways that we were acting
I'll always be here to be your friend
and I'll always be here to lend my hand
Peeking through your window all I'm seeing is the grin on your face
Times that we shared are the only times that I felt safe
I know that you'll be the one to make it
And your future's so bright it has no end
The problems we'll face we'll mend
Missing all the hours we spent kissing
And I wish things could be the same
But you
As the times
they changed
Peeking through your window all I'm seeing is the grin on your face
Times that we shared are the only times that I felt safe
Scritchin' and a scratchin' and a leachin' and a latchin'
Now I realize that you're gone
Scritchin' and a scratchin' and a leachin' and a latchin'
Now I realize I'm alone
With this pain that I feel
I know that it's real
You think that dealing with my problem is easy
It ain't easy.

9. I used to be a little one
But now I'm big and strong
Cause I used to eat my greens
I used to get the snot beaten right outta me
Then I'd go on home and scream
I'll fight you for everything you offer me
I'll fight you for everything that you say to me
I'll fight you for everything you offer me and all your condescending ways
Because you're disrespecting me
Oh, I feel this way today
I like you anyway

10. I don't think that I want to die
And for this I need a reason why
When you humans act so funny and I need to fill my tummy
I tried
I lied
I don't feel like a man today
All good themes have been blown away
I'm feeling kinda giddy and my mood seems kinda fitting
I tried
I lied
But through the waves I'll find...
Some peace of mind
I don't know why I act this way
Something seems to change from day to day
When I'm feelin' kinda silly and my mood seems kinda fitting
I tried
I lied
But through the waves I'll find...
some peace of mind
I'll ride you out
