for the moment

go away i’m afraid
with you there could be no escape
i have no faith
i’ve seen truth and reason
down the drain
but i cling to you for survival
and i know that you are my bible
get out i’m  scared
for the moment
but i know you’ll be there
well i’m scared
for the moment
but i know you’ll be there
by the way things you say
freak me out
i gout out of my head
i feel no shame
when i turn my back
and walk away
but i cling to you for survival
and i know that you are my bible



i hear you calling

i’ve seen you now
about the fourth time baby
but you know that
i’ve got nothing to say
it’s so charming to 
look on your face
but your eyes inviting something
i just can’t do now
i’ve been around about your hood
i’m looking for you
just to shine some light
on my day
feels likes ages since
i’ve been out your way
i’ve been caught up with
a handful of new sensations
i hear you calling
calling for me out in the night
but it’s all bad
and i know that



no regrets

all the things that i’ve regretted
and all the places i was headed
with you i wanna pursue
even though you’re not a go-getter
you could show me
you could do better
you’ll see, take a chance on me
but i know, i know
this feeling that i have
inside of me
in me, my belly’s burning
and it’s turning
don’t you see i’m upset
and yet no regrets
if there ever was a time
when i could go back and make it
all fine with you
i wanna pursue
all the blood and tears i’ve sweated
all the work, we can’t forget it
you’ll see, take a chance on me
all the things that i’ve regretted
and all the places i was headed
with you i wanna pursue
no more standing around
i’ve said it
get off your ass and we’ll go get it
you’ll see take a chance with me



everyone pushed down

you gotta burn that building down
i would love to see that world
come crashing down
then the people under could 
come crawling out
see the sun for the first time
it would burn them without a doubt
but that burn would feel so good
so warm 
it would let them finally feel life
and be born again



pinto

you got the first mile made it through
but you’re falling apart
forget the distance that you’ve moved
since you were at the start
i bet you would do much better
doing what you feel in your parts
because you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
and it starts to break you down
until you have broken
i’ve got a bucket of water in cause
you catch on fire
i’m at the pit stop waiting for you
if you blowout a tire
i’ve gotta tell you
you fight like a bull
and that i truly admire
that you give and take and give
all that you’ve got
and it starts to break you down
until you have broken
no flag in sight yet but you’ve 
gotta keep moving
if your wheels forsake you
it’ll surely break you
in time you’ll be sold and 
you might feel cold
but don’t forget that
it’s the path you’ve chosen



looking for california

let me take a little break
i’m having the hardest time
convincing you that there are
better ways to say what’s on your mind
insult intimidate let’s try
to be more diplomatic
we all have opinions here
we all have the right
if you make an effort to understand
you don’t have to fight
put down your weaponry
you get so fucking defensive
no man we don’t hate you
we can shake it off
we need to go find a place
where we can carry on
everyone hears but 
it’s no one’s business
i think we’ve said enough
we just need to find a place
where we can carry on
if we can wait for better days 
to open up our eyes
then we can say the things we feel
and make no compromise
we all have opinions here
we all have the right
we’re not perfect, we make mistakes
we just have to try



sleepyhead

painted murder on the wall
footsteps coming down the hall
to the window through the blinds
run away but i still
hear the footsteps
closing in again
this time the plane is going down
double over get ready
i’m allergic to the light
and the darkness brings me fight
through the peephouse i saw
the suicidal neighbors
they turned the doorknob
came in again
someone sleeping in my bed
closed my eyes and
i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake
jam the forceps in my eyes
keep them open through the night
listen to a grating voice
the night speaks it says
“hey” to morning 
“it’s great to meet again
out of bed you sleepyhead”
i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times
i don’t know if i’m awake



ex-shuffle

things coming down
it’s all that i see
i turn and look but 
it don’t bother me
is there any way i could get by
what reason i don’t understand why
i always say you know i know
we’re always getting nowhere
nowhere
i guess i’ll never ever learn
never learn
cause i’m never gonna grow up
all the time she thinks i’m lying
hurts so bad inside i like dying
i’m not around she tells me
she’s crying even though
even though i know what’s right
another day, another lecture
somehow i think this will reoccur
it’s something now that i foresee
this chemistry is a bad recipe
all the time she thinks i’m lying
hurts so bad inside i like dying
i’m not around she tells me 
she’s crying even though
even though



that’s the way

don’t need no anyone
don’t need no anybody
talk to me bout
handling relationships
it seems like everyone
it seems like everybody
i think i really doubt
i’d use their advice and tips
but that’s the way i was falling
and that’s the way it’s supposed to be
that’s the way i was falling
and that’s the way
although it’s just begun
i’ve heard enough already
i feel i’m all worn out
only just begun this trip
this phenomenon which
happens naturally
something you hear about
more than just companionship
i remember when it was 
breaking your heart
even though then i was falling apart
even though...



been so long

how i long to see your eyes
your eyes fill me up
i breathe them inside
i have your image deep inside of me
i hold your picture it’s a part of me
it has been so long
without you there’s no sun
just sky
i’m a wound that’s bone deep
bled dry
it has been so long



144

i want to know the place
where you come from
i like to see your face
when i wake up
i offer me just for yourself
wrapped up for you and no one else
and no one else
could be appreciative 
be as appreciative
of your charm
when you walk you take
you take your time
take the tiniest steps
when i’m at your side
if you feel you’re left behind
i’ll slow down to your pace 
and we’ll be like a tree
and we’ll grow on
and if the world should end
with fires and bombs
i’d like to be there holding hands
with you i’ll view the end of the lands
and no one else could steal a piece
like you could steal a piece that big
of my heart
i want to be with you
and we will be together
i want to be with you
and we will live forever



can i resist

so what became of you
why did you disappear?
i heard you came looking for me
you had something to share
all i say how can i resist
i won’t look back 
there’s nothing to stop me
all i say how can i resist
don’t look back 
you’ll never find me
hello it’s me again
i’m sorry to bother you
you know more than ever
so what became of you
why did you disappear?
i need you to show me how
it’s supposed to feel



desktop breaking

...and her body bleeds too much
and her boy is out of touch
she’s learning
she’s yearning for something
that something that only
new love can bring
she needs to look into new eyes
fall into them and
this pupil will dive
into her desires 
go into them cause it feels due
and the girl she was has gone
and this campus turns her on
to fresh things her boyfriend
just won’t be
he’s dull old and she wants
shiny and green
she needs to look into new eyes
fall into them and 
this pupil will dive 
into her desires
go into them cause it feels due
it feels due
desktop breaking filled with guilt
she sees the desktop breaking
can’t control herself
desktop breaking he’d freak out
she sees the desktop breaking
can’t control herself
and her body bleeds too much
and her boy is out of touch



the perfect remedy

if i paint a picture
of the days gone by
i could tell a story
minus the truth
it’s the only way
i couldn’t walk a meter
in your shoes
you’ll see, when you see
they’re soaked i left them
out in the rain
and they are just like weights
i could help you choose a name
first thing that i saw today
make the best of new conditions
never be the same
pent up in me
tied up in my room
i found the perfect remedy
spit you out, or just chew it
pent up in you
tied up in your room
you got the best cut of the deal
you lay down, with the newest
i thought about you 
in my bed last night
you were a thousand years old
had a million boyfriends
i have a rubber stopper to
prevent the worst from happening
mark the troubled spots within
and press with all my mightiness
bend it back all the way
this one it’ll never break
make the best of old ideas
never be the same
