The sky is placid and honest And if my body begins betraying me... I make a secret living inside my lonely giving around the neighborhood like a vagrant And when you talk to me just how to feel is everything it isn't hard to see why i would have conditions that your Crown Victoria Would make me want to hate myself again And if my memory isn't sacred And if I'm negative would you tell me? I'm parting out my wisdom Like cracks they are abysmal Around the neighborhood like a savior And when you talk to me just how to feel is everything it isn't hard to see why i would have conditions that your Crown Victoria Would make me want to hate myself again Like a tear in the screen it leaks out all the gravity of trust Like a terrible dream I had "Don't mention this to anyone" Crown Victoria What makes me want to hate myself again Crown Victoria It makes me want to hate myself again

i saw your colors, they're flying over a camp of strangers. don't remind me. i saw your pictures. don't need the sources. said they're all killers who will find me and take my strength. You forced upon me a book today. You said you were scared but now you're brave. the 5000 year leap the 5000 year leap My vision's blurry. Friend don't you worry. My medication, working finally. He'll start a nation. We'll keep him famous. He'll rearrange us based on piety and our strength. You said this is no country my friend. The sun never sets, his day won't end. the 5000 year leap the 5000 year leap the 5000 year leap (they have nothing to say) the 5000 year leap (they have nothing to say)

I believe that a doctor will call my name Like an impounded fracture My head is aching On the turnpike from Pittsburgh The pain is why I've been driving so quickly. I will go back to the places that will lead me nowhere. I am attracted like moths inside an open fire. I will go back to the places that will lead me nowhere. So inside myself I can't relate to anyone. Bad Lidocaine I feel ashamed of all the things I cannot take. All rearranged into complacement memories of my escape. Take a little codeine to calm your nerves, and to stop you from shaking. The restless anger meets you inside a casket to call your home While the maker is laughing and hesitating. I will go back to the places that will lead me nowhere. I am attracted like moths inside an open fire. I will go back to the places that will lead me nowhere. A disparity is causing ME to break MY heart! Pain is impossible, I'm feeling optimistic. Bad Lidocaine I feel ashamed of all the things I cannot take. All rearranged into complacement memories of my escape.

Jaywalking 02:38
Flashback to a summer disease. Fell in love with my hero. Cut loose by the skin of my teeth. Jaywalking on the west coast. Picked up, though caller ID showed unknown ones and zeroes. Locked up for disturbing the peace. Jaywalking on the west coast. I've tried, but can't confide in anyone. Their secrets locked inside the city. How can you know the thoughts of anyone? Their secrets locked inside them. Weird mansion out by the sea. No one their claims to know you. A cool break from my reality. Jaywalking on the west coast (ad inf.)

Holy Water 04:08
I'll await it. Holiday Inn. I'm impatient for the breaking. I need a lover. I'll never find another. Breathing easy. Cold and tired. Perishing the holy water. I need a lover. I'll never find another. When it's so hard to be alone. It's so hard to be alone. And i'm not sure if I've got the patience anymore. But it's so hard to be alone. Cameras flashed and we were caught there. Doused awake with holy water. I need an action. I'll never find another. I need distraction. I'll never find another. Living life and live a lie and wonder why I even bother? You need an exit You'll never find another You never get it You know you'll find another. When it's so hard to be alone. It's so hard to be alone. And i'm not sure if I've got the patience anymore. But it's so hard to be alone.

Sy Ko Friend 02:11
Stay with me until i'm sober. Tell me some things, wait in the wings. Wait until the night is over, until I decide i'm no good at this life. Yr sy ko friend is here again, he's hustling lies for a piece of the pie. Always said i was a rat, man... i guess that he's right, cuz i'm not alright. Everyone's got interest in you, but nobody knows the way that i know. I'm the only one that gets you to stay up all night, on into the light. Yr sy ko friend is here again, she's running a scam with the world in her hands. Always said I was a rat, man... I guess that he's right, cuz i'm not alright. I guess daddy's right, cuz i'm not alright.

Letters 03:24
Bury me in postcards My situation is gray. Calling out the coast guard Or some likeness of his waste. And it's true, that I don't believe you Let the hours pass away. Not good enough to be here. Throwing books across the room to intimidate the kids at school But I don't lie, I can't lie when I know exactly how you feel. My name is all that clings to my fate Always my fault, I made a mistake. I won't buy it. Letters cut me out. Letters drag me down. Platitudes of martyrs Selling records on the phone Cut a man between the teeth To laugh about his blood And it's true, that I don't believe you let the hours pass away. Not good enough to be here? Throwing books across the room to intimidate the kids at school But I don't lie, I can't lie when I know exactly how you feel. My name is all that clings to my fate Always my fault, I made a mistake. I won't buy it. Letters cut me out. Letters drag me down.

I went and bought an international clock and now i'm waiting I wanna use it but it's not in my employment description Its true fiction my conviction its true fiction my conviction Now i've got an international eye up on the serpent i've got an outpost now i've got a government job Its true fiction my conviction its true fiction from a prison said "i don't wanna be the one you beat upon knock down my door. i don't wanna be the one not right now not anymore. i don't wanna be the one anymore." and now I got an international clock, I think it's failing. and there's a couple in the alley arguing and it's raining. its true fiction let me listen their conviction from a prison said "I don't wanna be the one to bring you down make you bored. I don't wanna be the one. not right now, and not anymore. i don't wanna be the one anymore."

Black Sunday 04:15
Dedicated to Richard Stone. You only understand the meaning of your own. Divided holding hands, we're coming to a close. And wake to sirens calling out to reach us both. Uncovering myself It bears no truth In the altar I'm dying for an answer on a Black Sunday for White Reindeer And I'm not what you wanted I don't wanna be here. It would be hard to tell you anything today The dust you're breathing becomes a parable The bottom of the river sings and won't erode. To carry on my own, the weight of all who are chosen I'm dying for an answer on a Black Sunday for White Reindeer And I'm not what you wanted I don't wanna be here. Beyond my Beyond my Self Is a place where nobody expects you to go Beyond my Beyond my Self Is a place for Us. The darkest memory arrives to make us safe There never was a past that I anticipate I hate to bother but it just can't seem to wait And I will make you HOLY WATER Gone for a moment I'm drowning in the answer on a Black Sunday for White Reindeer And I'm not what you wanted and I'll never be here.

Surround a group of brand new friends, who hold their tragedies in tight. who can't admit they get ashamed, though it happens all the time. I wonder "what do i deserve?" It couldn't be something this nice. We took every mattress in this house, cautiously stacked them high. Wandered around the city like a maniac, I wanted you to chase me. All the time i've been some kind of maniac... I saw the truth and i opened my eyes. complications rise I saw the truth and i opened my eyes. Wandered around the city like a maniac, I wanted you to save me. all the time i've been some kind of maniac, all the time i've been some kind of maniac. they saw the truth and they called me a liar. set my world on fire they saw the truth and they called me a liar.
