WAY OUT
if tonight i don't fight/does it mean that you won/and if i say goodnight/does it mean that we're done/there was something inside me/pushing back/there was always a way/now i've fallen into this preset trap/and i need me a way out of here/a way out of here/want to release,why fight/and i know it's not right/still the twister in me/refuses to let it be/
BEFORE TOO LONG
i was disillusioned i know/but then i should have seen/it all gets so frustrating/how could you have ever been/in charge of something so big/you just don't understand/this game is way too complex/for just your little hands/stuck here at the intersection/waiting for the light to change/left here with no direction home/stranded on the overpass/feeling like the walking dead/and god i hope i'm there/before too long/never wanted something so bad/that i just couldn't explain/then everybody sticks their head in/and tries to shake their claim/before too long i see/before too long it's me/before too long it's gone/it's in the air/before too long/
DON'T EVEN CARE
turn it down/turn it down/it's much too loud/you'd think after that act/you would have attracted much more of a crowd/but they all know you by now/and all your silver screen drama/they can do without/but if there's someplace you'd rather be/then don't you bother waiting for me/just go away/and now your teflon heart has tricked your mind/into believing that everything will work out fine/but just one thing before you go/let me introduce you to yourself/it's someone you should know/but if there's someplace you'd rather be/then don't you bother waiting for me/just go away/and leave tonight/i hope everything's alright/i hope your dreams are a little safer now that i'm not there/and i wish you faith/i wish you well/but as far as i can tell/when faced with this/you don't bat an eye/you don't even care/don't even care/don't even care/
BACK DOWN
you leave yourself wide open/to this type of abuse/it's hard to keep from hanging/when you're tying the noose/and still you try to scurry/when the shots begin to fly/hard to find shelter when you're the bulls eye/and i won't back down until you kill me/'cause i can't get out/unless you make me/i'm not the man/but god i wish i could be/so i won't back down/back down/and still you drag it on/to the point of disbelief/if only one could stand up/and know just when to leave/somehow you always think/there's a way that we can mend it/and that's what you get/for claiming a dependant/you always want more than you need/and then you need more than you want/it's over i'm tired it's over/you always bleed/just to heal/just to bleed/it's colder each day grows colder/and if you bet then bet it all/'cause we've already dropped the ball/it's faded it's what we made of it now/and i won't back down/
OVER YOU
what happens now/after you struck out/when there's no one left/in your own dugout/who takes the blame/at the end of the game/do the names still remain/or someone else's you claim/everything's come undone/now i need everyone but no one/i'm staring at it all but i can't see/it takes the darkest of suspicion/to find the things that we've been missing/you hear the silence if you're listening/i'm not suppose to be over you/i'm not suppose to feel the way i do/i used to feel when this was all brand new/not supposed to be over you...over...over/and you stand so tall/you got to face it all/but you don't go when they call/'cause you're still pinned to that wall/and with a change of the face/you add a slight touch of grace/but not enough to trace/every time that i try i just loose my mind/and it's passing me by/'cause there's not much time/don't you ever want to feel/the way you know you can feel/'cause sometimes it's just so unreal/
SECOND THOUGHTS
i called you collect today/and you didn't hear my call/it's rough when you're far away/and you don't see what's going on/hope that you're happy now/when were you gonna let me know/hope that you're happy now/and i'm having second thoughts/about what we were and who i'm supposed to be/it's against everything you taught/i really hope you don't get caught/and that's why i'm having second thoughts/it's been a year or so/you're crazy if i don't think sometimes/where did you go/it's just a figment in my mind/shouldn't have to be prosecuted anymore/you know this/hope that you're happy now/and who are you stuck with now/how does he put you down/it's not like you to go this far/so i hope that you're happy now/
OVER YOUR SHOULDER
she scratches her head again/and he's washing his hands/of all that we pissed away/there was such incredible plans/he kept the appointment he made/at his fountain and fairfax pep/he's wondering what's going on/she can't quite finger the catch/don't look over your own shoulder/there might be something there/everyday you're growing older/in case you're unaware/his emotional politics/in their old familiar ways/are much like lunatics/and they cloud up his head each day/now they're bpth on a mental trip/in a who's right who's wrong bus/she forgets the relathionship/he doesn't know who to trust/it's too late now/this lines been crossed/and i don't know how/it got so lost...so lost/
GRAVITY
alright you can come down now/i never meant for it to go this far/i just wanted to scare you a bit/i guess i didn't know who you are/can't you feel it pulling me/it's playing on my every need/it's.../gravity is pulling me down/can't you feel it hangin' all around/and i fall down, down, down/i don't take criticism lightly these days/sometimes i let it stain my pride/showing full proof of my insecurities/sometimes i think you're all along for the ride/
LIVE A LIE
i really hope that you don't/let your jealousy get in the way of me/i really think it's sad/that someone gave you seniority/the warhol days and art school phase/are left back on some other page/so let it be/just like your obscure bands/that make you a man and your philosophy/stick to what you do best/'cause you know that you're not like this/no matter how hard you try/it's impossible to live a lie/live a lie/live a lie/i guess you never found yourself/when you were young/and turned your outcast in/and then you looked upon/all the things you were/and knew you could never be/but you can't hate me for being me/i don't blame you/you do the best that you can do/you live your mediocre life and that's just fine/stay out of mine/you trample under your own feet/you pant and sweat the people that you meet/you make your nervous allegations/turn your hints into frustrations/live a lie/live a lie/
GET TO TOMORROW
if you think i'm mad now/just wait till i get home/it seems i'm better off when i've been left alone/and i bet you'd like to know exactly how i feel/i'm just trying to get to tomorrow/so i don't have to beg and borrow/for anything to blow away today/if what goes up comes down/then the floor is where i'm bound/if what's in my head could only reach my mouth/and i know these should be a price out on my head/for all the things that i've done and that i've said/and i never wanted to get in your way/and you know that they're just telling you lies/'cause they want to get you right between the eyes/i'm just trying to get to tomorrow/trying to get to tomorrow/
DISAPPEAR
all people become liars/and that's how i always get burned/i won't hold back my desires/when will i ever learn/and i'm always hanging from nooses/from someone else's fault/i won't go calling truces/this time i can't be bought/and in your mind you just disappear/so afraid that someone might get too near/i'm always walking the wrong way/straight down a one way street/i never know who i'll find there/i don't know who i'll meet/i'm being threaded again into a needle too thin/i'm running myself a race that nobody wins/and in your mind you just disappear/so afraid that someone might get too near/
