Lives opened and trashed,
Look, Ma, watch me crash, No time to question. Why'd nothing last? Grasp and hold on, We're dying fast. Soon be over and I will relent. Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past. Three days and maybe longer, Won't even know I've left. Under your tongue, I'm like a tab, I will give you what you're not supposed to have. Under my breath, I swear by sin, for better or worse, A best we began. Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask. Three days and maybe longer. Shed my skin at last... shed... shed. Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask. Three days and maybe longer, Won't ever find me here. Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past. Four days and not much longer... Let my spirit pass... This is, this is... This is, this is... This is, this is... This is, this is... my last exit. |

The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess I take your entrance back Can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your bread I would rather run but I can't walk Guess I'll lie alone just like before I'll take the firmest path Oh, and I must refuse your test Push me and I will resist This behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know They can buy, but can't put on my clothes I don't want to limp for them to walk Never would have known of me before I don't want to be held in your debt I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed I'm already cut up and half-dead I'll end up alone like I began Everything has chains Absolutely nothing's changed Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture... I don't want to take what you can give I would rather starve than eat your breast All the things that others want for me Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't buy what I want because it's free Can't be what you want because I'm... Ain't supposed to be just one Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began It's your move now I thought you were a friend But I guess I... I guess I hate you... |

Is this just another day?
This God forgotten place First comes love, then comes pain Let the games begin Questions rise and answers fall Insurmountable Love boat captain Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough Is this just another phase Of earthquakes making waves? Trying to shake the cancer off Aah, stupid human beings Once you hold the hand of love It's all surmountable Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there'll be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word I still believe And it's love It's an art to live with pain Mix the light into gray Lost nine friends we'll never know Two years ago today And if our lives became too long Would it add to our regret? And the young, they can lose hope 'Cause they can't see beyond today The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey Constant recall Sometimes life don't leave you alone Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there will be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word that I still believe And it's love, love, love, love, love Love boat captain take the reigns Steer us towards the clear I know it's already been sung Can't be said enough Love is all you need All you need is love, love, love |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor waiting locked out He got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke and tea The wind rose up, set him down on his knee Wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now..." Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh ? ah, ohhh... He's - flying! Woah! Flying! Wide! Oh... He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains, he saw everywhere But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well...fuckers, he still stands. And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly Flying! Woah... High! Flying! Woah... Flying! Woah... Ohh, oahh... |

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time Me, I figure as each breath goes by I only own my mind The north is to south what the clock is to time There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life I know I was born and I know that I'll die The in-between is mine I am mine And the feeling, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind I am mine And the meaning, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant behind the eyes There's no need to hide We're safe tonight, whoa And the feelings that get left behind All the innocence broken with lies Significance between the lines We may need to hide And the meanings that get left behind All the innocence lost at one time We're all different behind the eyes There's no need to hide |

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up I wish...

Vacate is the word
Vengeance has no place on me or her Cannot find the comfort in this world Artificial tear Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers? Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere A truant finds home and a will to hold on But there's a trapdoor in the sun It's immortality… As privileged as a whore Victims in demand for public show Swept out through the cracks beneath the door Holier than thou, how? Surrendered, executed, anyhow… Scrawls resolved, cigar box on the floor A truant finds home and a will to hold onto There's a trapdoor in the sun It's immortality... I cannot stop the thought running out the door Coming up a which way sign All good truants must decide Oh, stripped and sold, mom… Auctioned forearm and whiskers in the sink Truants move on, cannot stay long Some die just to live… Oh… |

Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head.
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet. Don't need a bandage, there's too much blood. After a while, seems to roll right off. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached. Don't get behind, I can't fall back. Why must we trust all these rusted rails? They don't want no change we already have. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved! I'm just like you, think we've had enough. I can't believe a thing they want us to. We all got scars, they should have them, too. They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping... They're whipping...

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven Calm steps walking backwards on the road I'm counting my way back to heaven I can't be free with what's locked inside of me If there was a key you took it in your hand There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad The questions linger overhead No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I wish that I could hold you, I wish that I had Thinking 'bout heaven I let go of the rope thinking that's what held me back And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past All the rusted signs we ignored throughout our lives Choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back, now there's no turning back Mmmmmmm No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I smile, but who am I kidding? I'm just walking the mile, every once in a while get a ride I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven |

Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed. The names can be changed but the place is still the same. I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down. Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line. Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train. One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away. And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done. Won't let the light escape from me. Won't let the darkness swallow me. So long. |

She lived on the curve in the road
In an old tar paper shack. On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks. Sometimes on the way into town We'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?" Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down the long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying High above the trees, over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. Terrible thoughts, newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a... Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Pass it a... Oh yeah. |
