Slumber
The things we forget to say roll around inside our heads
Now if it's alright with you, this night never happened
I sat here with an endless flow from a bottle now empty
It felt good for just awhile; too numb to know that I'm happy
Only the fools of this world
Get everything they deserve
Here comes another one
Come to take his turn
It's alright to begin again, a change of scene can do
some good
'Cause looking back on what's been done will only keep us from moving
on
The line's blurring in between the excuses and reasons
Come see me if you've got time; something's rolling inside my head
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temptation
When you bite down hard
And spit me out
I dropped my guard
I had my doubts
And I have no patience
to wait here
And I hate temptation
Frustration's clear
I have no patience
to wait here
And I hate temptation
I came home alone
Too tired to care
I unhooked the phone
Pictured you there
I have no patience
to wait here
I hate temptation
Frustrated tears
I have no patience
to wait here
I hate temptation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not About to
Time and time again I'm living yesterday
Don't want this to end, a promise that won't stay
You always looked so good, and I always wanted to touch you
Can't let you pass me by - I won't turn my back on you
I get lost when I'm in your eyes and I'm about to lose myself
I know now what you meant to say; I don't wanna find myself
I'm not about to lose you again
Never let me go; never let me stay
Tell me once again, can't remember my own face
We've been through this before - feelings I can't ignore
Don't know what's in store for us but don't forget to shut the door
I get lost when I'm with you and I'm about to lose myself
There's no distance I won't go for you and dare to find myself
I'm not about to
Not about to
Use you
and lose you again
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burn Away
Pick a point in space and stare
Cloudforms gather thoughts
I'm on my way to the dreamy haze
Sleepless moments caught up now
blackout my attention
They slam the door
and hit me full force
Burn out my essence a little more every day
From embers to ashes I burn away
I realized too late realities of my surroundings
What I've gotten into, where I find me
They say to "make it into whatever you want to see"
Although they know
There's just one thing it's supposed to be
Burn out existence a little more every day
From embers to ashes I burn away
Revelations tear at me screaming their intentions
Then they're gone, they've moved on
I should've known all along
Rapid eye motion sick
Ether intervention
I'm under its spell
My head's like a well
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go
Yeah you know
Still you go
I'm never lonely
I'm never worried
Heaven knows me
And why I'm sorry
Yeah you know
Still you go
What you saw here
The ghosts behind me
You backed away now
Cause that's what's easy
Yeah you know
Still you go
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steal Your Car
You never say a word when I'm around, you just sit on the porch and look
at the ground
Wanna get you in a neck brace, just so for once I can see your face
Take you to your sister's and hose you down so I can finally hear you
make a sound
I'll sit on your driveway for an hour or three then I steal your car just
to watch you running behind me
I wanna steal your car
Gotta towel my shoulder when you cry every night 'cause
it gets all wrinkly
and I feel so old
You ask me why I never could stand it,
I'm telling you now - it's 'cause I never had a chance
Lying in the basement it feels like I'm basting in hell;
I could never get enough - lost you forever
Now I wanna go outside, get in your car and drive it off a bridge
I wanna steal your car
You make me feel bad, we fall in love but it's not my
fault - I never had a chance
to be myself most every day but I dunno. I just wanna steal your car
Drive 130 miles an hour, tear the roof off the sucker, tear the roof off
the suckermother
Gotta get outta here I gotta get in your hair
I wanna steal your car. I wanna burn your house down
I'm gonna cuss your mom out, I'm gonna beat your dad up
I wanna bone your sister while we laugh at your picture
I'm gonna steal your car now...Now
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being Around
There's something I've wanted to say to you for years now
It seems like it's been years since I said it
and I hope to God it doesn't mean that you'll decide
That it's not worth your time to take a second for a memory
I'm done apologizing for feeling
the way that I know you didn't want me to
But even after all that you said about forgiveness,
I still don't feel
That you're ever gonna be around to hear this
You said that we're friends,
but your second best is not enough
I wish that you'd tell me what it is
That makes you turn around and act like nothing's ever changed
Even after four years, never got past that first place
Around is where I haven't seen you for so long I wanna
tell you
But I don't know how to say
That there's nothing between us that can lead to a heartbreak
But that doesn't mean I'd ever turn myself away from you
