so we'll drive as fast as we can go
through the black night, black ice and all snow
till we see some street signs that we know
we're coming home
good tidings we bring
to you and your kin
good tidings for christmas and a happy new year
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year
And so when the words we sing are gone
i pray God's blessing continues on
We laugh and compliment this
Merry Christmas
good tidings we bring
to you and your kin
good tidings for christmas and a happy new year
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas

"i never thought money really mattered to you"
when all the kings horses and all the kings men took all the kings credit and they started to spend
it all on the worthlessness a tragedy went

ladies and gentlemen, the worst freestyle rapper ever

Snakesssssssssss
"It's 3p.m." she said, I said
"You're crazy"
She said "get out of bed, why are you so lazy? Why waste the day away?"
I said, "Because I'm tired"
"Wendy's called by th eway, they told me that you're fired."
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
So wreckless for all these years
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
I crash into a wall
Woah oh oh , Woah oh oh
there's a ringing in my ears
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
and it's my wake up call
Jesus gave me a wake up call
take this world with a grain of salt
Jesus gave me a wake up call
"It's 3 a.m." she said, "Who are you, Matchbox 20?"
She said, "Are you getting rest?"
Sarcastic, I said "Plenty"
"Don't be a hypocrit."
I asked "What are you saying?"
When you praise God, do you meant it?
Are you sleeping when you're praying?
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
so wreckless for all these years
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
I crash into a wall
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
There's a ringing in my ears
and it's my wake up call
God gave me a wake up call
Take this world with a grain of salt
This Week The Trend
-Relient K
And this week the trend
was to not wake up till 3 pm
I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend
and slept away the rest of them
And this week the trend
was to crash and burn and then return again
to practice the life that I pretend provides enough to get me through the weekend
So I say
give me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
and now it's this minute,this hour, this day
And this week the trend
was to backstab every single one of my friends
and leave a voicemail message trying to make amends
all the while hoping things work out in the end
And this week the trend
was to borrow all the strength that you could lend
to keep my head above the water and not descend
Back to where I said I'd never go again
So I say
give me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
But after this day it's this week all over again
And I just want to get mugged and knifepoint
To get cut enough to wake me up
Cause I know that i don't want to die
Sitting around watching my life go by
And what we take from this is what we'll get and we haven't quite figured it out just yet
because all of us are all to stuck
Strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up
Stuck watching our lives blow up
Twas the night before Christmas,
And up at the North Pole,
Everybody's going crazy;
Everything's out of control.
The toy shop is on fire,
The toys melting on the shelves,
And you can hear Mrs. Claus screaming,
"I warned you never trust those elves"
Unless something drastic happens fast,
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past.
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly.
And the sleigh's in the shop.
'Cause it's broken down,
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Very much to his disliking,
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking.
With a sign that reads, Ho ho slow down,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town.
Every car just drove right past him,
And sped right out of sight.
Santa never got to ask them
To drive around the world in just one night.
So Kris Kringle started walkin'
Through the snow without his sleigh,
Shed a tear for every stocking
That would be empty Christmas day.
Unless something drastic happens fast,
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past.
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly.
And the sleigh's in the shop
'Cause it's broken down,
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Santa Claus is thumbing to town (uh-oh!)
Very much to his disliking,
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking.
With a sign that reads, Ho ho slow down,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town,
Santa Claus is thumbing to town.
I was thinking, over thinking
Cause theres just many scenarios
To analyze, look in my eyes
Cause your my dream please come true
I was thinking, over thinking
About exactly how i'm not exactly him
I'll break my heart in two
More times than you could ever do
Cause your my dream please come true
Cause i think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause i'm so far behind
[Chorus]
I can't deny this any more
The facts ignored all done before
And if theres one in this world
You let me know you're not that girl
I was sinking, lower sinking
Cause i lost the things i held on to
They let me think a thought
A thought that i would know was not
Of seeing my dream come true
I was thinking, over thinking
About how far i had let this go
One more guy/girl cliche
I know now you're just in the way
Of me and my dream come true
Cause i think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause i'm so far behind
I'm trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip
[Chorus]
Dont touch the positive with a negative end
Dont touch the positive with a negative end
Cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
Cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
And while i'm able i think i'll label
Experience with you as a mistake
And while im at it, i'll say ive had it
Experience with you as a mistake
Cause i think way too much
On a one track mind
And your so out of touch
Cause i'm so far behind
I'm trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip
I was thinking, over thinking
Cause theres just too many scenarios
To think about, to figure out
If you're my dream please come true
IF it hurts, kiss it better.
You wear skirts, I write nice letters.
Never sent nothing but flowers
Though we always talked for hours.
And I know it gets much colder when I cry on my own shoulder
But we know the show must go on
Guess I know I guess I'll throw on..
Pre-Chorus
Some Jefferson Airplane, I'm trapped and I am inclosed
But I won't complain or open all the windows.
Because when it's colder I feel much better,
when I cry on my own shoulder, just throw on a sweater and go
Chorus 1
And I'll go where the weather's nice and warm
And I'll go to where I am reborn.
And I'll go because in my dreams I can't complain.
And I'll go in my Jefferson Airplane.
You make the calls, I cover my ears.
Niagara Falls still flows on New Year's.
I will save your plunging neckline
Kiss your face, you try to deck mine.
If I behave, it's gonna cost em
Skip the rave in downtown Boston.
We all know the show will go on, guess I know I guess I'll throw on
[Pre-chorus]
Chorus 2
And I'll go to where the weather's nice and warm
And I'll go there since I am reborn
And I'll go because in my dreams I can't complain.
And I'll fly in my Jefferson Airplane.
Ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
Who brought back their permission slip
Because I know nobody wants to stay home
While the rest of us go out and make a day of it
[Chorus]
Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the Batman ride
They're starting something, and I don't want to begin it
(I don't want to begin it)
They're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
(With me, won't be found)
And I regret that I'm completely out of daytime minutes
(I don't want to begin it)
And, so, I guess I'll have to wait a lot til 8 o'clock comes around
Ok, so, who doesn't have a cell phone
Well, I don't need to ask my friends
Because, I know mine was fastened to my jawbone
Thanks to all those nights and weekends
[Chorus]
When it comes to relationships (I'm the dumbest one)
And I don't mean just with girls (I mean with everyone)
Your illustrations always point out just what's wrong with me
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like Chemistry
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like...
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like...
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like Chemistry
Can I relate to you the way you relate to me
Can you help me out with my chemistry
I don't want to be perceived the way I am
I just want to be perceived the way I am
I think you what I'm getting at
I find it so upsetting that
the memories that you select you keep the bad but the good you just forget
and even though I'm angry I can still say
I know my heart break the day
when you peel out and drive away
I can't believe this happened
And all this time I never thought
that all we had would be all for not
No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
know I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
cause you took this too far
Make you decision and don't you dare think twice
go with your instincts along with some bad advice
this didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
you blame me but some of this is still your fault
I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what I'm getting at
you said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that
and wisdom always chooses
these black eyes and these bruises
over the heartache that they say
never completely goes away
(I just can't believe this happened
and one day we'll see this come around)
what happened to us
i heard that it's me we should blame
what happened to us
why didn't you stop me from turning out this way
and know that I don't hate you
and know that I don't want to fight you
and know that I'll always love you
but right now I just don't...
I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you
And I can't see you
Getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust
Somewhere the sun is always shining
And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all this that I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
Just listen to the politician
wishing his position wasn't missing
everything his heart would like to say
and a constant in the constitution
is that there can't be one solution
it'd be so far from the truth
and we would hate it anyway
opinions are immunity to being told
you're wrong paper, rock, and scissors
they all have their pros and cons
and all of us we will endure
just like we always have
but you just can't be too sure
how long this will last
cause we control the chaos
in the back of our minds
our problems seem so small
but they grow on us like gravity
The way that girl can break a heart
It’s like a work of art
And this is the worst part
She knows it
And she’s so confident
That she’s what everybody wants
But nobody wants
Her to know that
So fall back on all of your premonitions
And just learn to listen
To those that have more wisdom than you
And just stop
Putting so much stock
In all of this stuff
Live your life for those you love
And I’m still waiting for
You to be the one I’m waiting for
The way that girl can turn a head
Well she is such a threat
But don’t ever forget
She knows it
And she’s got it all
All figured out
And she won’t let you doubt
She knows it
I’m still waiting for
You to be the one I’m waiting for
Something tells me that this is going to make sense
Something tells me it’s going to take patience
Where am I?
Where are you?
There's so much time but so little to do
We're busy doing nothing cause it's vanity we prize.
You can't see nothing cause you can't see through your eyes.
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself.
You're the one to blame, but you pretend it's someone else.
Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be a more gentle to me.
Softer, softer, softer, softer to me.
I'm still alive, that much is true
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few.
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show.
The coversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I don't know.
This life can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool.
Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be a more gentle to me.
Yeah I know, this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed his flesh
On the cross for me
But this world is hard, it's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer, softer, softer, softer to me . . .
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts they sing Allelluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born.
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
Bored in a stable with nothing to do.
We make a game of throwing our shoes.
Lead me to water, but not to the track.
Show me a saddle and I'll say, "Hey get off my back."
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor of (we like the flavor of) hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said... May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.
I trot by the fillies (they like me of course).
They all dig my band (yea I'm a rocking horse).
You gotta take off your spurs to ride me you know.
If you want me to stop then yell out "Whoa".
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.
[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.
[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.
You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
I got this thing for Nancy Drew. Her hair is blonde her eyes are blue. Yeah, I think that I'm falling in love. I wish she'd say she'd marry me, and why she won't is a mystery. Yeah, I know its me she thinks of. Nancy Drew, I love you (Yes I do). One time these criminals with their guns-they thought it would be fun to try and kill my Nancy Drew. I jumped out and saved her life, then asked her to be my wife. She said, "No, I'll never marry you!" It's a really big mystery. I'll put the Hardy Boys on the case. Cause no time in history has someone denied my face.
I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I'll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather
Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it, not in the least bit
and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
So I say if I can't, do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late look, my date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet, that regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once
I notice, I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it, I spent it
Convincing myself the world's doing just fine
Without me
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time , it's my life
And my right, to use it like I should
Like he would, for the good
Of everything that I would ever know
I'm a little more than useless
When I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
So it was Jereme in 1983
in his Ocean-Pacific tee
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard that Tuesday night
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and I've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
and I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
Cuttin' class through the first floor windows
he's drivin' fast cuz he never did a thing slow
and I look up to my big bro cuz in the eighties all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and I've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
and I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
a pink tux to the prom
doodoodoodoodoo pink tux to the prom
doodoodoodoodoo pink tux to the prom
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care
what could possibly go wrong
When you're the president of the Breakfast Club and you're not hesitant to fall in love, to fall in love, to throw it away, to fall in love with the eighties
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care
what could possible go wrong
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom, live without a care, cuz you threw it away. to fall in love with the eighties
doo doo doo doo doo oo
it's a typical cloudy day in canton, ohio, and the relient k boys are trying to score something to do.
matt t. gives dave's cell a phone call.
what's up dude?
i'm getting kind of bored
let's get some food
and then hit movies 4
what's going on?
whats up with all our friends?
let's start a rumor
just to find out where it ends
cause a small town is like a small stage
for teenagers and their drama
instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
like 90210 without the beverly hills
well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
that we never settle down (never settle down)
well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
that we get out of this town (get out of this town)
cause if we leave then we just might be okay
hoopes i did it again
i messed everything up, and i think i hurt my friends
hoopes i did it again
relationships that work are things that i can't comprehend
ohio has the flavor of a water chestnut
it's not too crazy and it's not the best but
we're not setting forest fires just out of boredom
i'd rather see a movie if in fact i can afford one
cause a small town is like a small stage
for teenagers and their drama
instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
like 90210 without the beverly hills
well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
that we never settle down (never settle down)
well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
that we get out of this town (get out of this town)
cause if we leave then we just might make a difference
and if we leave then we just might be okay
and i don't think it would hurt to get away
hoopes i did it again
i messed everything up, and i think i hurt my friends
hoopes i did it again
relationships that work are things that i can't comprehend
dan bakitus said i'm shallow
he said i've got no integrity
but, i don't know dan bakitus
and dan bakitus, he don't know me
cause we always say in canton
you can't enjoy (canton joy) yourself
well, there's truth to that
but may i add
it's not half bad
and never less than that
cause we always say in canton
you can't enjoy (canton joy) yourself
well, there's truth to that
but may i add
it's not half bad
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home
The year is 1941
I was 8 years old and far, far too young
To know that the stories of battles and glory
Was a tale, a kind mother made up for a son
You see, dad was a traveling preacher
Teaching the words of the teacher
Mother had sworn he went off to the war
And died there with honor, somewhere on a beach there
But he left once, to never return
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Whatever I thought a father should be
I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me
By '47, I was fourteen
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
I smoked until I threw up, yet I still lit 'em up
For thirty more years, like a machine
So right there you have it, that one filthy habit
Is what got me where I am today
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear the sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again
But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home
Got married on my 21st
Eight months before my wife would give birth
It's easier to be sure you love someone
When a father inquires with the barrel of a gun
The union was far from harmonious
No two people could've been more alone than us
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
From there, it's your typical spiel
Yeah, if life was a highway, I was drunk at the wheel
I was helpin' the loose ends all fall apart
Yeah, I swear I was destined to fail and fail from the start
I bowled about 6 times a week
A bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
Our marriage had taken a 7-10 split
And along with my pride, the ex-wife took the kids
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again
But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home
I was so scared of Jesus but he sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs, it's killing me now
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next
Well, then Jesus showed up, said, "Before we go up
I thought that we might reminisce
See one night in your life, when you've turned out the lights
You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"
You cried, wolf, the tears, they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs, you said, "What have I done?"
You loved that lamb with every sinful bone
And there you wept alone, your heart was so contrite
You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day, please take me home with you"
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear you whisper to me, "It's time to leave
You'll never be lonely again"
But this was my deathbed, I died there alone
When I closed my eyes tonight, you carried me home
I am the way, follow me and take my hand
And I am the truth, embrace me and you'll understand
And I am the light and for me, you'll live again
I just wasted ten seconds of your life
I've given up, I'm giving up slowly, I'm blending in so
You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last call that You mentioned is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
I'm giving up I'm doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You
Ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
Who brought back their permission slip
Because I know nobody wants to stay home
While the rest of us go out and make a day of it
[Chorus]
Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the Batman ride
They're starting something, and I don't want to begin it
(I don't want to begin it)
They're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
(With me, won't be found)
And I regret that I'm completely out of daytime minutes
(I don't want to begin it)
And, so, I guess I'll have to wait a lot til 8 o'clock comes around
Ok, so, who doesn't have a cell phone
Well, I don't need to ask my friends
Because, I know mine was fastened to my jawbone
Thanks to all those nights and weekends
[Chorus]
When it comes to relationships (I'm the dumbest one)
And I don't mean just with girls (I mean with everyone)
Your illustrations always point out just what's wrong with me
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like Chemistry
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like...
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like...
It's Chap Stick, and Chapped Lips, and things like Chemistry
Can I relate to you the way you relate to me
Can you help me out with my chemistry
I don't want to be perceived the way I am
I just want to be perceived the way I am
I know that pride and summertime come before fall. Almost missed the bus, but Jesus gave me a wake up call.
there aren't any lyrics to the song Anchorage, it is all music.
I wish I could, innovate,
And try to stretch your minds,
Cause when often, times guys like me,
Do that they leave themselves behind,
To clean the mess, or to impress,
A little bit of everyone,
But to innovate, is a mistake,
Cause there's nothing new under the sun.
Cause we're all getting tired of the media,
Cause they tries to hard to make you write something,
Cause we're all getting tired of the media,
Cause creating something new just recycling,
Wait wit's all been done before,
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more.
And all my lines are pointing signs,
But not all with dead ends,
And im not sure if the clever words,
All sit well with my friends,
I will not just sit and watch,
And me the victim fall,
I'll just have to do,
What my gut tells me to,
And hope that you will buy it all.
Cause we're all getting tired of the media,
Cause they tries to hard to make you write something,
Cause we're all getting tired of the media,
Cause creating something new just recycling,
Wait Wit's all been done before,
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more,
Wait wit's all been done before,
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more.
Originality is a ghost town,
And it's oh so hard to get to,
And when you do, then people start to hate you,
Just scream what you belive out loud in a crowd,
People will hate you,
Cause repitition's just so safe,
And repition is just like prison,
And I prefer to be out of place,
Cause I'm not really into prison.
Wait wit's all been done before,
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more,
Wait wit's all been done before,
Yeah we do something to death,
Then we dig it up just to do it some more,
Cause we're all getting tired of the media,

What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on, but everything that goes is going wrong.

When I saw Justin he said he was just in visiting on spring break.
I said "What a surprise. You're one of those guys I haven't seen since 1998."
We talked for a while, and I tried to smile as he told me about his college life.
He parties Fridays through Thursdays (but not for birthdays).
He's acquired a taste for Miller Lite.
Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.
Adn then there's Vanessa.
Her life got so messed up.
She just can't get along.
Her emotions they can't cope, 'cause she's lost all hope.
She can't see right from wrong.
Rationality left her (or shrunk with her sweater).
She's a fanatic.
She's over the edge.
Yesterday was not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today, with every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more
'Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of what's gone wrong
And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching on to it, yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I'll be
'Cause I'm on the up and up, I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up and yeah, there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you
To be prosperous would not require much of me
You see, contentment is the one thing it entails
To be content with where I am and getting where I need to be
And moving past the past where I have failed
But I'm finally catching on to it and yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I'll be
Oh, 'cause I'm on the up and up, I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up and yeah, there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you
Never cease to supply me with what I need for a good life
So when I'm down, I'll hold my head up high
'Cause you're the reason why, yeah, you're why
I'm on the up and up, I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up, given up on what I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up, so yeah, there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
feelings, inside my head
i don't know, but i'm thinking about you
understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
you already know
when it's twice as hard to realize
that i'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
and i'm still waiting for things to change
i lay my life before you, and i'm not getting up
father, how i adore you
those words are not enough
father, know i love you, and know i am wrong
Lord, please take my life
make me your son

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
Well I feel so broken up, I want go to home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, why won't you let me go home?
Well I feel so broken up, I want to go home
The first mate got drunk
And broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone?
Well I feel so broken up, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
I feel so broken up, I want to go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home, why won't you let me go home?
This is the worst trip since I've been born
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, why don't you let me go home?
That night at the theater
An impersonator died
And Mr. Booth was tried
I just kept the truth inside
And in the courtroom the judge
Will not catch wind of this
We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question?s when they?ll blow up
And they?ll blow up, we know that without a doubt
'Cause they?re those girls, yeah, you know those girls
That let their emotions get the best of them, go
And I?ve contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let?s get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we?ll be tipped off to when they?re ticked off
'Cause we?ll know just what they?re thinking
'Cause what they?re thinking
She?s so pretty but she doesn?t always act that way
Her mood?s out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that she?s so happy, it?s depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
If it?s drama you want then look no further
They?re like the real world meets boy meets world
Meets days of our lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They?ll anger you then bat their eyes
Those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize, go
And I?ve contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let?s get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we?ll be tipped off to when they?re ticked off
'Cause we?ll know just what they?re thinking
'Cause what they?re thinking
She?s so pretty but she doesn?t always act that way
Her mood?s out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that she?s so stressed out that it?s soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
'Cause when it?s black it means watch your back
Because you?re probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when it?s blue it means that you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because she?ll most likely agree
And when it?s green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when it?s clear it means she?s completely emotionless
And that?s all right I must confess
We all know the girls that I am talking about
She liked you Wednesday but now it?s Friday
And she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we?ll never figure them out
First she?s Jekyll and then she?s Hyde
At least she makes a lovely pair
Mood ring, oh, mood ring
Oh, tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure
Known as the female mind
I got a chill and I wanted to say it was you
Be still because what I'm about to say is the truth
Unless we stretch until the point in nearly breaking in two
We'll never find our weakness coming on glue
A cracked sculpture, I wanted to say it was you
Being vultures is why I feel the way I do
I fell in love and I wanted to say it was you
I wanted to say it was you
If you believe me
We could stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself
A sudden wind and I wanted to say it was you
I never been so confused about who knows the truth
And it began when I wanted to say it was you
Because I swore you had your head in this too
If you believe me
We could stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
You know it means you have to disbelieve yourself
If you believe me
'Cause I'm here wondering what could you be thinking
Though I know you that you're thinking I wonder that all the time
I can still invade your thoughts when you're not with me
Yet don't mind me, I'm just a pin-side on your mind
Yeah, don't mind me, I know you're wondering all the time
If you believe me
We could stand the test of time like no one else
If you believe me
It means you have to disbelieve yourself
Oh, believe me I have tried
To work this out from the inside
Then I finally realized
I just need to move on with my life
Gotta make something happen
Not just sit around and wait for it
This place is like a prison
I think I'm going to make a break for it
Whoa-oh, here I go
It's like we're living for the first time
Whoa-oh, here I go
And I think that it's the first time I felt alive
I've been suppressed
I've been let down
Been pushed aside
Been pushed around
There's only one thing that I need
That's something you can't take from me
Gotta make something happen
Not just sit around and wait for it
This place is like a prison
I think I'm going to make a break for it
Whoa-oh, here I go
It's like we're living for the first time
Whoa-oh, here I go
And I think that it's the first time I felt alive
Whoa-oh, here I go
It's like we're living for the first time
Whoa-oh, here I go
And I think that it's the first time I felt alive
Move up
Move on
You blink and I'm gone
I finally got one life to live
I'll live it now
You have your doubts
I'll prove them wrong
This is the only thing I know
So here I go
Whoa-oh, here I go
It's like we're living for the first time
Whoa-oh, here I go
And I think that it's the first time I felt alive
Whoa-oh, here I go
It's like we're living for the first time
Whoa-oh, here I go
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
No one told me
The right way
The right way to go about this
So I'll figure it out for myself
Cuz how much
Is too much
To give you
Well I may never know
So I'll just give until there's nothing else
Yeah I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give
No one told me
How bad I need you (need you)
But I somehow arrived
To that conclusion all by myself (all by myself)
And I want
All you have to offer (to offer)
So I offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else
And I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to
Give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
Sometimes it seems
Like all I ever do
Is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way (that's not the way)
I wanna live (I wanna live)
I need to change (I need to change)
But something's got to give
Yeah something's got to
Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to give
Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give
Give until there's nothing left

So they leave me alone, move on with my life

A solar flare shines through her hair
It's so unfair when you compare
The one who's fairest of the fair
A solar flare shines through her hair
It's so unfair when you compare
As you push it up through the soil,
I will shake your filthy hand.
You may be dead to me but that don't mean we can't be friends.
Now it's time to get over this,
Long as it's clear you understand,
That I will never trust a single thing you say again.
Because the judge of you is someone I could never be,
Is why you should thank the Lord that it is Him, and it's not me.
Don't give up, it's not the end,
There's hope for every fallen man,
To pick themselves up when they think they can,
Because with every passing second comes a second chance.
Oh-oh-oh
You stole so much from me and there is nothing left to take,
Save a hard learned lesson on how to not make the same mistake.
And you may be delirious but that is something that will fade,
After you confess that this mess is all something that you made.
Oh, because the judge of you is someone I could never be,
Is why you should thank the Lord that it is Him, and it's not me.
But don't give up, it's not the end.
There's hope for every fallen man,
To pick themselves up when they think they can,
Because with every passing second comes a second chance
Oh-oh-oh
Don't give up, it's not the end.
You'll get back on your feet again.
Forgivness can be given when you think it can,
Because with every passing second comes a second chance
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause with every passing second comes a second chance,
Take a good look at yourself and know,
You've got yourself a ways to go.
But difficult is not impossible,
You can take back all the lost control.
Take a good look at yourself and see,
You'll emerge eventually.
As long as your heart's not too far gone,
From the only thing that can save you from yourself...
Forgivness can be given when you think it can,
'cause with every passing second comes a second chance.
But don't give up, it's not the end.
There's hope for every fallen man,
To pick themselves up when they think they can,
Because with every passing second comes a second chance,
Oh-oh-oh
Don't give up, it's not the end.
You'll get back on your feet again.
Forgivness can be given when you think it can,
I don't like the steps I took
To get to look into your deepest feelings
But I don't like the place I'm in
Head space within the hardwood and the ceiling
'Cause if I'm restless then why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul?
And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control
But I don't mind
But I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die, too
Clinging to the remnants of perfection
Like most do after they break it
Not knowing which directions the correct one
Do I discard or remake it?
'Cause if I don't know then I don't know
But I may know someone who knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control can find it's way back to my life
I don't mind
But I'm not surprised to find that you do
You see I know that I have done all this to you
To you
And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
Yeah, I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die, too
Yeah, I'll curl up with you until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you until I die with you
Yeah, I'll curl up with you, my baby
Yeah, my darling until I die with you
Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you your wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
There were times in my life when I was confused.
There were things between me and God that were blocking my view.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, take these things away so I can see."
He answered my prayer and at the sight of Him
I fell to my knees.
And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.
Until,
I went on a balloon ride
(I could see everything from up there).
I went on a balloon ride
And now everything seems clear.
I strive towards infinity.
Though sometimes I don't know what to do.
When other people laugh at me
All I do is look towards You.
Well on my through this life yet something was gone.
I looked round and round and then I found I needed some one.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, fill me up and make me whole.
Baby
It's all that I can do to
Thank you
Cause every time you wrapped those arms around me
I felt I was home cause
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne
May auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne
May auld acquaintance be forgot
I wish I knew you
Way back when
Before you were part of my plans
I think that we would have been friends
There's only time to live our lives
And you'll be the one who's by my side
And I can promise you then
You'll always be my best friend
Till the end when we part
I will give you my heart
And I'll promise to love you with all that it is
And I'll promise to be there whenever you need me
Because you'll always be my best friend
Leaving
May not be coming home
Needing
To know I'm not alone
Even
Though I can't feel a thing
Taking
Time to get over it
Making
The best of what won't quit
Breaking me down
I can't feel a thing
Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here
Tracing
My steps right back to you
Racing
The clock to save an hour or two
And facing
The fact I don't feel a thing
I'm dealing
With what I can't control
Feeling
Confused cause I don't know if
Healing
Is when you don't feel a thing
Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here
Woah Woah Woah
For a time I thought there was a thief among us
I thought I'd track him down but prior to my pursuit
The smoke had cleared and to my disbelief
There was no thief cause it was me
That lost you
I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back (Oh oh oh oh)
And I understand why you wouldn't want to (Oh oh oh oh)
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you
And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me
And I can't see you
Getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust
Somewhere the sun is always shining?
And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me
I know that I've come a long way
My heart's headed in the right place
But sometimes your past's hard to face
But now I know you
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you
I sailed through the high winds and waves
I wondered if I could be saved
But I have emerged unscathed
Because I know you
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you
Before I knew you
Before I could see
That you could take all my troubles from me
Before I knew you
I was so incomplete
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you
There was another time in my life
Before I knew you
I got in a fight with the stenographer
Afterwards she read me like a book.
I had tried to get along with her
But my temperament was quickly overlooked.
On the weekends we can
Sneak into this courtroom
And you'll offer me some sort of bargain plea.
Yeah, Smith and Weston (Wesson) Jr. was a son of a gun
He pressed his nose up to my head.
Yeah, I was sweatin' bullets but I dodged the one
That was not as much sweat as was lead.
Oh, I still love you
Oh, I still love you,
Although I know that you want me dead.
And when I turn my other cheek
I will beg and I'll plead
That this time you might just kiss it instead.
Cause this is my story
And like the glue on the binding,
I'm sticking to it.
If you wanna implore me
To change my tune,
Well I just won't do it.
Cause this is my story
And like the glue on the binding,
I'm sticking to it.
If you wanna implore me
To change my tune,
I found my new black shoes
While cleaning out the bones left in my closet
They were there with the bad excuse
Bon Voyage
And I found a back up plan
I'm grateful that I didn't have to use it
But it's made of real good friends
Bon Voyage
Isn't it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know
That we're golden
Well I found a list of flaw
That I saw in myself and other people
And I threw it away because
Bon Voyage
Isn't it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know
That we're golden
Yeah we're golden
When it all falls apart and you can't see
The forest for the cemeteries
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to know
Isn't it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know
That we're golden
Isn't it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn't it nice to know
That we're golden
Yeah we're golden oh
I found a love in me
I always somehow knew that it existed
It just needed to be set free
Bon Voyage
I can't find no inspiration
Nothing that keeps me up at night
I wanna give you satisfaction
So you don't say what's wrong or right
Someone please tell me
Just what is not stickin'
Listen to the sound of the beat not stoppin'
No reaction. No reaction.
Lookin' at the chart but nothin's toppin'
No reaction. No reaction.
Listen to the sound of the reggae droppin'
No reaction. No reaction.
Lookin' at the Matts and the Johns not talkin'
I'm a human being
Being happy and sane
Oh but human beings
We all need to quit
Being inhumane
Yeah I don't wanna say I'm right
I just want you to know
I've a reputation
For replacing
My confidence with fear
But I'll be untiringly embracing
The love I've found to be sincere
Yeah I don't wanna say I'm right
I just want you to know
To know that
There was a man
Who lived one day
With holes in his hands as some do say
And I believe we'd be friends if we talked and we prayed
So we do
Yeah I don't wanna say I'm right
I just want you to know
I don't wanna say I'm right
I'll watch you wind on down the string and settle to the ground
I'll give my little hand a yank and then you'll come back 'round
Just like you and me babe
You're the yo yo
I'm the hand
Well say you'll be my baby
Everyone was beaming
Everyone everywhere
And Scotty did lots of the work
And I said beam me up Scotty
And can I get a cup of coffee?
And the internet it still doesn't work
I said whoa, you know we're beaming
I said whoa, you know we're beaming
I'm so tired of the phone, baby I don't like the tone
The way we say I love you, a thousand times
We say those words
But we can't look into each others eyes
Oh and I guess we made it or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, in a future day there may be ways
But I must say the skies have never looked so clear
Oh and I guess we made it 'cause it ain't far to go from here
I'm so tired of the road, baby driving through the snow
Just may be you'll sit back, think about the times
When we said those words
And we looked into each other eyes
Oh and I guess we made it or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, in a future day there may be ways
But I must say the skies have never looked so clear
Oh and I guess we made it 'cause it ain't far to go from here
You have given me a heart attack, you'll never know
What it's like to have to face the fact you might let go
Now I won't stand for any thought of that, heavens no
'Cause I will cling to you and always have a stronger hold
Oh and I guess we made it or at least we made it this far
And it all looks smooth from here
Oh, in a future day there may be ways
But I must say the skies have never looked so clear to me baby
I'd better rest my eyes
Cuz I'm growing weary of
This point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don't you just verbalize
All the things that you're trying to say
Thought things would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see
That instead it's trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable
Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear
I gotta check my pride
Because I was starting to think
I was starting something good
I couldn't start it this way
I was sinking in retrospect
And understanding that I misunderstood
I'd like to make up your mind
And then this decision locks up
So tight it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
But keeping your mouth sealed shut
Rather than just opening it up
Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear
And I tried
To guess what goes on in your head
Cuz in your mind
I just might find
All those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to maybe not regret anything
Later on after I'm gone
You'll wish that you
Had listened to me (listened to me)
Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are gonna hurt
We're better off this way
Why don't you
Come right out and say come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway
Why don't you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking
We should get jerseys 'cause we make a good team
But yours would look better than mine 'cause you're out of my league
And I know that it's so cliched to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
And everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
This jealously, they can see that we've got it going on
I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know, you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're okay with the way this is going to be
'Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen
If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right
And maybe I'm just lucky 'cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliched to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on
I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know, you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're okay with the way this is going to be
'Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen
If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right
If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right
I must have done something right
I must have done something right
So I've made up my mind
I will pretend
To leave this world behind
And in the end
You'll know I've lied
To get your attention
I'm faking my own suicide
I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
Wish you thought that I was dead
So rather than me
You'd be depressed instead
And before arriving at my grave
You'd come to the conclusion
You've loved me all your days
But it's too late
Too late for you to say
Because I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
I'll write you a letter that
You'll keep
Reminding you your love for me
Is more than six feet deep
You say aloud that you
Would've been my wife
Right about that time
Is when I come back to life
And let you know
I'd let you know (whooaa)
I was faking my own suicide
Because I know you loved me
You just never realized
I was faking my own suicide
I'll walk in that room and
See your eyes open so wide
I've been so lost
Because you know
Because you know
You will never leave my sight (you will never leave my sight)
Until the day that I die for the first time (until I die for the first time)
And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh
And we will cry
So overjoyed with the love
That saved my life
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
well I've never been to Greenland
and I've never been to Denver
and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I've never been to Moscow
and I've never been to Tampa
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
and I've never hoist the main sail
and I've never swabbed the poop deck
and I've never veered starboard, cause I've never sailed at all
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned a parrot.
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
I've never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I've never kissed a chipmunk,
and I've never gotten head lice
and I have never been to Boston in the fall
(pirate captains log 2002
who be this band relient k
and why they be so full of contradictions)
we don't know what he did
but we're down with captain kidd
we don't wake up before lunch
but we all eat captain crunch
we don't smoke, we don't chew
we watch captain kangaroo
and I've never licked a spark-plug
and I've never sniffed a stink bug
and I've never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings
and I've never been to Boston in the fall

and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away, I want to ditch my life
'Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
'Cause I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
Oh God, don't make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
'Cause I know that I let you down
And I don't want to deal with that
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn't turning out the way I want
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
'Cause I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
Oh God, don't make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
'Cause I know that I let you down
And I don't want to deal with that
And I spent all last night
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite
The fact I'm so weighed down
All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can't go on like this much longer
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, "I miss you son, come home"
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I'd wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so's
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
'Cause I know that I let you down
We were talking together
I said, "what's up with this weather?"
Don't know whether or not
How sad I just got
Was of my own volition.
Or if I'm just missing the sun
And tomorrow, I know,
Will be rainy at best.
And the forecast, I know,
Is that I'll be depressed.
But I'll wait outside
Hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun.
Because on and off,
The clouds have fought
Their control over the sky
And lately the weather
Has been so Bi-polar
And Consequently so have I
And now I'm sunny with a High
of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive
And the temperature is freezing
And then, after dark,
There is a cold frost sweeping
In over my heart
And we might break up
If I don't wake up to the sun
Sunny with a High of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light (made it light)
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be...
five iron frenzy
they were good,
they were good,
they were really really really good
five iron frenzy
and when you see them
we really really think you should
thank them for being so cool and so awesome
and thank them for being so neato
look at their teeth and then tell them to floss them
I've given up on giving up slowly
I'm blending in so You won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way in knowing
Where to go I promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
To be my escape
I'm giving up on doing this alone now
?Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
?Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way in knowing
Where to go I promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
?Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
To be my escape
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
?Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out, that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way in knowing
Where to go I promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
To be my escape
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do
Was save my own skin
But so were You
whoa-o...i've been banging my head against the wall
whoa-o...for so long it seems i knocked it down, yeah it got knocked down

i got evicted now i'm living on the street

too many turns have turned out to be wrong
this time i learned that, i knew it all along
when car crashes occur
then i'll be what you were
when i see what i should
when i see that it's good (that it's good)
to experience the bittersweet
to taste defeat
then brush my teeth
experience the bittersweet
to taste defeat
then brush my teeth

ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
who brought back their permission slip
because i know nobody wants to stay home
while the rest of us go out and make a day of it
cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
and i lost my phone to the lake beneath the batman ride
they're starting something, and i don't want to begin it
they're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
and i regret that i'm completely out of daytime minutes
and so i guess i'll have to wait a lot till 8 o'clock comes around
ok, so, who doesn't own a cell phone
well i don't need to ask my friends
because i know mine was fastened to my jawbone
thanks to all those nights and weekends
cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside
and i lost my phone to the lake beneath the batman ride
they're starting something, and i don't want to begin it
they're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found
and i regret that i'm completely out of daytime minutes
and so i guess i'll have to wait a lot till 8 o'clock comes around
when it comes to relationships i'm the dumbest one
and i don't mean just with girls, i mean with everyone
your illustrations always point out just what's wrong with me
it's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry
it's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like
it's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like
it's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry
can i relate to you the way you relate to me
can you help me out with my chemistry
i don't want to be precieved the way i am
I hope it snows this week,
A snow flake on your cheek
Would make this Christmas so Beautiful
But that would just bring the pain
Cause things can’t stay the same
These Holidays won’t be wonderful
I look under the tree
But there’s nothing to see
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me
I can’t figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me
I don’t wanna talk
I’m sick of all this talking
A broken heart wrapped up in a Box
This tear drops in my stocking
I hate Christmas parties,
They offer me some punch,
But I just shrug
I hate Christmas parties
You and the cookie
Tray hear me say "Ba! Humbug"
Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o'er the plains
and the mountians in reply
echoing their joyous strains
Gloria In Excelsius Deo
Shepheards why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Come to Behlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ our Lord, the new born king
oh, what a lousy excuse for a car
one mile to go, but i can't push it that far
i think i've had enough
i think i'm giving up
saved all my money to buy a new guitar
then i got ripped off by the guy who fixed my car
i think i've had enough
i think i'm giving up
once again life's thrown me a curve, and it blew up right in my face
once again life's rattled my nerves
don't you see what i'm stuck in the place?
all because, you're giving me a ...breakdown
stuck on the side of the road
emotional over-load
he'll seek and destroy everything that i enjoy
but, i won't be the one he takes down
New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.
Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.
Charles, I love you,
Love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her
Go up to her and say you're a believer
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial
Because, Marilyn Manson
(Marilyn Manson)
Ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
Satan consumed her mind
And he may do it again
Marilyn Manson
(Marilyn Manson)
Ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
She once believed in the truth
Now she believes in sin
She denies God when she has the chance to live for Him
The thought of it makes me cringe, her future looks dim
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
Marilyn Manson, he's not cool
Marilyn Manson, went to Matt Hoopes School
Marilyn Manson, he's not nice
Marilyn Manson, shows are overpriced
Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson, yeah
I need an...
Take me to a hospital
Cuz there's too much blood lost to tell
If I'll make it out alive
My body's got a war inside
The bossy nurse I talked to her
Into getting a new doctor
Someone who cares about me
Makes sense
Someone with patience for his patients
I need an OP-ER-A-TION
Please operate
I need an OP-ER-A-TION
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Cuz my flesh is wrong
And my spirits weak
I need a room for this emergency
The ER would suit me perfectly
with tubes and needles stuck into me
I'm on an envoy Turn inside me
I think my life just passed me by
20 years, an ugly sight
But God was there through thin and thick
Is it just a car or is it so much more? It's a superstar with the gas to the floor. Zero to sixty in remarkable time. Its the automobile that's top of the line. We got a k car on the road of life. We're gonna get far if the driver's Christ. Is it just a car or is it so much more? It's a superstar with the gas to the floor. In a drag race all the others fall and Brandon Ebel just gave us a call.
Chillin' at the lair.
Snarf, me and the twins.
My favorite feline is the one who wore cheetah skins.
Fighting evil, we drink milk, and we purr a lot.
Ask me to cross them, and I would say I'd rather not.
Thundercats Ho!
I'm Lion-O!
Sword of Omens, come to me.
Your eye opens so you can see.
Fly from the sheath into my paw.
I am the greatest Thundercat of them all...
Sometimes in a crowd we get talkin' real loud. Making fun of weird folks, turn their lives into jokes. I don't think it's fair when we start not to care. I think it's a shame, because we live in Jesus' name. We dance the night away, making fun of everybodies clothes. We drink the night away, and we pray that no one will ever know our insecurities. They make us act all big and bad. We're never sure of these. Lots of lip, and make ya' not be rad. You dance the night away, making fun of everybodies clothes. You drink the night away, and you pray that no one will ever know your insecurities. They make you act all big and bad. You're never sure of these. Lots of lip, and make ya' not be rad.
My life's been torn apart, stripped down and going nowhere. I don't know where to start, and where to go from there. It gets tough to follow you where I get scared. That I might take a spill me in faith. We agure a lot. If I will will it be Your will or will it not. God I need You, here I need You now to help me through. I think it's clear You know just how to do what You're gonna do. I am feeling quite content. I will reign in Your testiment. Sure of what I see blind of, my guidence is Your everlasting love. God I need You, here I need You now to help me through. I think it's clear You know just how to do what You're gonna do. Yeah Yeah Yeah.
I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...
'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.
I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.
I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...
So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
I think you know what I'm getting at
I find it so upsetting that
The memories that you select
You keep the bad but the good you just forget
And even though I'm angry I can still say
I know my heart will break the day
When you peel out and drive away
I can't believe this happened
And all this time I never thought
That all we had would be all for none
No, I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
Know I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
'Cause you took this too far, too far
Make your decision and don't you dare think twice
Go with your instincts along with some bad advice
This didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
You blame me but some of this is still your fault
I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what I'm getting at
You said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that
No, I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
Know I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
And wisdom always choose
These black eyes and these bruises
Over the heartache that they say
Never completely goes away
(I just can't believe this happened)
And wisdom always choose
(And one day we'll see this come around)
These black eyes and these bruises
(And one day we'll see this come around)
Over the heartache that they say
Never completely goes away
No, I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
Know I don't hate you
Don't want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now I just don't like you
'Cause you took this too far
What happened to us
I heard that it's me we should blame
What happened to us
Why didn't you stop me from turnin' out this way
And know that I don't hate you
And know that I don't want to fight you
And know I'll always love you
Like a child having nightmares
I will run, I'll run into your arms
I'll give you all of my cares and
This world will do me no more harm
When you're around
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
To let you know just what I'm thinking
I want to stay longer.
I made you you a place, a place within my heart
With you I'm so much stronger
I'll tell you flat out it hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless to dictate my own moods
I've thrown away so many things
That could've been much more
And I just pray my problems go
Away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down, I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down, it hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away the hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away so many things
That could have been much more
I've thrown away the secret to find an end to this
And I just pray my problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down, I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down, it hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
Any control I thought I had
Just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience
Shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet You love me and that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart
And when You do You make it light
As I exhale I hear Your voice
And I answer You, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love You, oh God, I love You
And life is now worth living
If only because of You
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
When I go down I lift my eyes to You
I won't look very far 'cause You'll be there
With open arms to lift me up again
To life me up again
PEPPERONI!
and it was all just a dream
baby rhapso
i'm the confused neck with the keep getting restless
eating 20 lbs of 'basgetti for breakfest
still showing up on your 10 best dressed list
i told you my name is M.C. deffensless
duct tape wrapped around my feet
held hostage before the big track meet
14 feet from 18 street
i know for a fact that you think i'm neat
yo, you stick around like a fly on the wall
w/ surround sound you found that you hear it all
when it all comes thru i hear you say so dude
"i never thought money really mattered to you"
when all the kings horses and all the kings men took all the kings credit and they started to spend
it all on the worthlessness a tragedy went
"your moving in with your aunty and uncle in bel aire"
ladies and gentlemen, the worst freestyle rapper ever
um uh uh give me a second uh shoot
um uh right here we go
apples are green
and carrots are orange
and then they go and then you go
what...nothing... what oh what rhyems with orange?
oh geez, i really am bad.
just gimme, gimme a second
no man, your done!
whose that wearing those silly shoes?
we are wearing those silly shoes!
well i really hate those silly shoes
well we really like those silly shoes
please stop wearin silly shoes
we won't stop wearing those silly shoes
they're just shoes, man!
well i've learned to respect your silly shoes
the respect for you is so that we won't lose
can i try on a pair of your silly shoes?
man, quit talking about those silly shoes.
you say i'm boring, but i say hardly
well lets get together and have a pizza party!
PIZZA PARTY!
PEPPERONAY!
and it was all just a dream...
forever.
i think it might just be alright
to leave what matters out of sight
old habits die hard, holding on
inevitable means it's never gone
told myself what i need to hear
i think the point was very clear
i showed me what we missed since we
slipped into inconsistency
it seems if my ties with you get severed
i can't seem to hold a thing together
i just fall apart
cause that's my trademark
it's my, my trademark move
to turn my back on you
it's my, my trademark move
to realize i should improve
and sometime soon after that
you'll see me come crawling back
i'll kill the thing that turns me away
amputate the arm that will disobey
withdraw from everything that's hurting me
until you finish your work in me
told myself what i need to hear
i think the point was very clear
i showed me what we missed since we
slipped into inconsistency
it seems if my ties with you get severed
i can't seem to hold it all together
i just fall apart
cause that's my trademark
it's my, my trademark move
to turn my back on you
it's my, my trademark move
to realize i should improve
and sometime soon after that
you'll see me come crawling back
it's my, my trademark move
to turn my back on you
it's my, my trademark move
to turn my back on you
it's my, my trademark move
to turn my back on you
it's my, my trademark move
to realize i should improve
and sometime soon after that
And this week the trend
was to not wake up till 3pm
I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend
and slept away the rest of them
and this week the trend
was to crash and burn and then return again
to practice the life that I pretend
provides enough to get me through the weekend
so I say
get me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
and now it's this minute, this hour, this day
And this week the trend
was to backstab every single one of my friends
and leave a voicemail message trying to make amends
all the while hoping things work out in the end
and this week the trend
was to borrow all the strength that you could lend
to keep my head above the water and not descend
back to where I said I'd never go again
So I say
give me a solution
and watch me run with it
and then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it
cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
but after this day it's this week all over again
And I just want to get mugged at knifepoint
to get cut enough to wake me up
cause I know that I don't want to die
sitting around watching my life go by
and what we take from this is what we'll get and we haven't quite figured it out just yet
because all of us are all too stuck
strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up
I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it its upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
This may sound crazy but I want to come back home
That's it I said it now I'm sailing off to Neverland and then Japan
So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
About the way you want to go
Cause I may forget the way to get back home
This is the end if you want it
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
I never thought I'd be driving through the country just to drive with only music and the clothes that I woke up in.
I never thought I'd need all this time alone. It goes to show I had so much yet I had need for nothing but you, but you.
This is just therapy. Just call it what it is with a death grip on this life always transitioning. This is just therapy 'cause you won't take my calls and that makes God the only one who's left here listening to me.
Letting it all sink in, it's good to feel a sting now and again. I hope it's one less woeful thing there is to fight through.
Getting it all begin, fresh paper and a nice expensive pen. The past cannot subtract a thing from what I might do for you, unless that's what I let it do.
This is just therapy. Just call it what it is with a death grip on this life always transitioning. This is just therapy 'cause you won't take my calls and that makes God the only one who's left here listening.
Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused 'cause I spend my solitude with you.
Gather all the questions of the things I just can't get straight and I answer them the way I guess you do.
'cause this is my therapy, 'cause you're the only one that's listening to me.
This is my therapy, just call it what it is and what we were with a death grip on this life that's in transition. This is my therapy 'cause you won't hear me out and that makes God the only one who's left here listening.
So to the best, to the best of our knowledge
We are doing our best to fight technology
'Cause back when our parents were in college
We weren't even born and neither were CD's
'Cause when our folks would listen to their rock 'n' roll
They'd gather round and play it on their turntables
But these days, their records are worthless
'Cause DJ's scratch the records on purpose
So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is
'Cause they just burn the MP3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And during all that arsony
The records stay right in their sleeves
It's all the same with all the kids
'Cause no one knows what vinyl is
'Cause these days kids they act so ignorant
They have no clue what to do with a 7 inch
They say, "It won't play, it's my CD player's fault
I'll take it to the park and play some Frisbee golf"
So give me side A, give me side B
It really doesn't make any difference to me
I tried to burn it, like all the CD's that I get
But what the heck is all this melted plastic mess?
Let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is
'Cause they just burn the MP3's
Onto their stacks of blank CD's
And during all that arsony
The records stay right in their sleeves
It's all the same with all the kids
'Cause no one knows what vinyl is
So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
And I've collected all these thoughts
And I'm dying just to lose them
And if your words are true or not
I'll die trying to prove them
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you
Convince me
Because I really need your help
Oh convince me
Because I can't see this for myself
I'll put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
This is so unnerving
I know you've never lied to me before
But the things you're telling me
I can't yet believe
Yet can't ignore
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you
Put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
It's a world full of cynics
Who say to stay alive in it
You gotta stick with what you know
But the soul is always aching
For the heart to start taking
A chance by letting go
So let go
Let go
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you'll do
Cause sometimes when you're trying to sleep
And all your doubts and your faith don't agree its cause
So here it is it's just me
A different drummer but the same old beat
It seems like everything is going to be just fine
Cause I'm having a good time
As long as I'm staying true to myself
Then out isn't something I can sell
And I can sleep at night without your help it's fine
Cause I'm having a good time
The scene and herd
Seem to make it all just a little bit worse
And I don't wanna go down that road
Oh no no no
The scene and herd
I'll be the first to tell you I'm worse
But I don't wanna go
Down that road
Oh no
And odds are that you probably
Magically got this song for free
And I'm not sure if it bothers me it seems fine
Cause I'm having a good time
And if the path I take to validate
Everything I do means everything I create
Is knocking on the door of everything I had I'll decline
Cause I'm having a good time
Well everyone's got something on their mind
And this is my thought at the present time
I say what I want might not be what you want to hear
The scene and herd
Block out the sun like a flock of birds
And I don't wanna go
I was just about
to quote Mark Twain
when I realized that
it's all in vain.
A twist of fate,
a twisted look of pain.
To defeat the wheat,
go against the grain.
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know what you've been through.
But there's only so much one can do.
Now the rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
Your mentor's become
your tormentor.
Give him the money,
but is it for rent or
will you get burnt for the countless time?
Your head starts to hurt.
You just close your eyes.
I know
I know
I know
I know
I know what he did to you.
But there's only so much on can do.
The rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
This speech is merely words.
It's even worse because it rhymes.
Give me a minute or your time,
I'll have a minute of your time.
And I can't make this click.
And I can't tattoo your mind.
But you know this ain't no trick.
Take it or leave it all behind.
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
(Gave my advice, done all I can)
The rest is up to you
(It's your life, it's in your hands)
The rest is up to you
(Why don't...)
The rest is up to you
Why don't you try to slow down?
Slow things down.
Slow things down.
'Cause I know you're hurting.
So put down your burdens.
Crucify your doubts and just reach out
Reach out to Jesus.
Embrace him.
Turn your life around to face him.
You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
face.
You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
Live a life of privilege
Pushing back the last, the lost, the least
The least of these
To dull the edge of conscience
With conceit
Live a life and see the world
Feel its weight on the shoulders
Of the least of these
It spins and twirls
Without rest of relief
We all, we all wear dignity
It covers the strong, the weak
We all, we all wear dignity
Even the last, the lost, the least
Step into a spacious place
Where pride and right will give way
To the least of these
To know the face
Of who a man can be
His image shown
When we give our lives, our time, our own
To feed, to clothe
Those in His image we have left alone
We all, we all wear dignity
God help the blind like me
Finding at last a voice we cry
i was thinking
over thinking
cause there's just too many scenarios
to analayze
look in my eyes
cause you're my dream please come true
i was thinking
over thinking
about exactly how i'm not exactly him
i'll break my heart in two
more times than you could ever do
cause you're my dream please come true
cause i think way too much
on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch
cause i'm so far behind
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before
and if there's one in this world,
you let me know you're not that girl
i was sinking
lower, sinking
cause i lost the things i held on to
they let me think a thought
a thought that i would know was not
of seeing my dream come true
i was thinking
over thinking
about how far i had let this go
one more guy/girl chiché
i know now you're just in the way
of me and my dream come true
cause i think way too much
on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch
cause i'm so far behind
i'm trying to make sense
out of all of this
while your fading scent
just slips through my grip
i can't deny this anymore, the facts ignored all done before
and if there's one in this world,
you let me know you're not that girl
don't touch the positive with the negative end
don't touch the positive with the negative end
cause after all of the sparks you're still alone in the dark
cause after all of the sparks you're left alone in the dark
and while i'm able, i think i'll label
experience with you as a mistake
and while i'm at it, i'll say i've had it
experience with you is a mistake
cause i think way too much
on a one track mind
and you're so out of touch
cause i'm so far behind
i'm trying to make sense
out of all of this
while your fading scent
just slips through my grip
i was thinking
over thinking
cause there's just too many scenarios
to think about
to figure out
It?s been a year
Filled with problems
But now you're here
Almost as if to solve them
And I can't live
In a world without you now
All my life
I've been searching for you
How did I survive
In this world before you?
'Cause I don't want to live
Another day without you now
This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
All I want to have
Is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back
Everything I have in me
'Cause nothing ever felt as right
As this does right now
I'll go back
To before we met
Try and erase the past
Try harder to forget
'Cause nothing will ever be as good
As here and now
'Cause when I looked into your eyes
And you dared to stare right back
You should've said, "Nice to meet you
I'm your other half"
This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening
This is the best thing
(The best thing)
The best thing that could be happening
(The best thing)
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
I always knew I'd find someone
I never dreamt it'd be like this
'Cause you've surpassed
All that I'd hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life as good
As you've made mine
This is the best thing
(The best thing)
The best thing that could be happening
(The best thing)
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
(The best thing)
The best thing that could be happening
(The best thing)
And I think you would agree
They said the time it was dreadful
(Yeah, you could say that again)
Now there is one pair of heads full
(Of thoughts that don't make any sense)
Just passing through, trying to catch that glimpse of you
I never rolled on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell
But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't want to walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before
It's splintered and I felt horrendous
(Lying through the gap of my teeth)
Broken is when you can mend us
(So help me get back up on my feet)
Just passing through, trying to catch that glimpse of you
I never rolled on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell
But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't want to walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before
I, I'm staring longer than I know I should be
I can't believe you're standing next to me
I never rolled on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell
But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't want to walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before
I will stand taller than before
I will stand taller than before
Cause it hasn't been that long
since you almost hit the tree.
Cause it hasn't been that long
since you hit the pole because of speed.
Do you remember
the ambulance it took you there?
Do you remember
they cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head.
Where's all your hair.
The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"Another foot you could be dead."
The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"You should have took the bus instead."
All you could hear
was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk.
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk.
He could have died that day.
Which means that he would not be here.
He would have gone away,
friends and family we'd shed our tears.
But the good thing would be
is that we would always know.
He would be living
Where am I!? Where are you?
There's so much time so little to do
We're busy doing nothing cause it's vanity we prize.
You can't see nothing cause you can't see through your eyes.
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself.
You're the one to blame but you pretend it's someone else.
Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be more gentle to me.
Yeah I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed his flesh
On the cross for me
But this world is hard,
It's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer to me
I'm still alive. That much is true
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few.
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show.
The conversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I' don't know.
This life can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Savannah
I hope to be there by the morning
And see this pining all transforming
Into the arms of the Georgia sun
Savannah
I'd love to feel the heat the sunrise
Brushing rays across my windshield as if one dries
The streams from off my face
Yet I know you'll be there cause you'll know I'll want you to be there
And we'll say hello as you're smiling in love
And we'll sigh so relieved I believe because we will both know by tonight we'll feel normal again
But until then
Until then
Until then
Savannah
Our backs supported by a hammock
We sum up perfection like a handbook
And God knows it all too well
Savannah
We'll take a walk to find a gift shop
Who would've thought the book that you bought
Would never come off the shelf
Baby
I spent my life wondering
Wondering when I'd find you
I searched for all these years and now you're right here
I need you to know that
Everything makes sense when you're with me
Savannah
Walk out into the sultry evening
Cotton breathing when the sea winds
Brush the hair down around your neck
Savannah
You hold my hand like it's the first time
And all the feelings that our hearts find
I'll admit to who I am
The day I come to understand
I haven't got a clue
Been searching for a few years now
Well if I don't repeat myself
Then I'll change into someone else
Well I don't quite know who
Been searching for a few years now
I'm over it
Yeah behind me now
I'm just over it
Over it
Yeah I'm finding out
I'm just over it
No I don't know what's over just yet
But I won't go slow and time can let the mind forget
Don't tell me you don't know
Already
(Don't tell me you let go
Already)
I'll protect your universe
Or make a mess to make it worse
Time will only tell
You and no one else so
You say you made up your mind and you've finally decided
But those that helped you choose
Haven't the slightest clue as to the magnitude of what you're about to lose
I'm guarded and therefore I can endure
A little bit more
Just a little bit more
Than some people would
If I'm not misunderstood
It's still an attempt to be egoless while self-assured
If I'm still unsure that I'm pretty sure
That I am pretty good
Twas the night before Christmas
And up at the North Pole
Everybody's going crazy
Everything's out of control
The toy shop is on fire
The toys melting on the shelves
And you can hear Mrs. Claus screaming
I warned you never trust those elves
Unless something drastic happens fast
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop
'Cause it's broken down
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, ho ho slow down
Santa Claus is thumbing to town
Every car just drove right past him
And sped right out of sight
Santa never got to ask them
To drive around the world in just one night
So Kris Kringle started walkin'
Through the snow without his sleigh
Shed a tear for every stocking
That would be empty Christmas day
Unless something drastic happens fast
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly
And the sleigh's in the shop
'Cause it's broken down,
But Christmas won't stop
'Cause Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Santa Claus is thumbing to town, uh-oh
Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, ho ho slow down
Santa Claus is thumbing to town
Lying on my side knowing of thirst
Is how I'll die, chalk on my tongue
Relying on the night beneath the dunes
Is where I lie to block the sun
Trying to ignite some sort of passion
From inside to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse
Than never having anyone
So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back
A lion on his side was it the lying
Or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts but now they feast
On the thoughts beneath his vacant crown
Trying to decide was it the lying
Or the pride which brought it down?
To be alone, to be dethroned
Believe me I know all about it now
So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back
I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
I wanna run to the plains further and farther away
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same
As my organs gave way, I swear I felt something burst
It's been thirteen days and now I'm dying of thirst
As for the birds of prey
I pray that someone else will get here first
I am not alone, I'll be alright
Just take these bones
And breathe them back to life
So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, don't ever turn me loose
All the girls in the bathroom talking
who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are burning but I kept on walking
smile on my face and an air guitar rocking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?
Sitting in the back of my next class napping
Got up, gave a speech, then bowed to the clapping
Told a funny joke got the whole class laughing
think I got a tan from the light which I was basking
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?
Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
She said, "You're smooth, and good with talking.
You're going with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
Find it funny when the punch-line was You. And You don't like my punk boy attitude. You didn't smile when I checked out that girl, or when my sin kept me in the world. And then I claim all I wanna do is praise Your name. I hate my sin, destroy it and mold in me from within. And then I claim all I wanna do is praise Your name. I hate my sin, destroy it and mold in me from within. And now I'm trying to keep the bad stuff away, but if I forget to keep Your word and pray. I love You Jesus, I need Your love in my life. I love You Jesus, I want to be like You Christ. And now I'm trying to keep the bad stuff away, but if I forget to keep Your word and pray. I love You Jesus, I need Your love in my life. I love You Jesus, I want to be like You Christ.
I've been working with adhesives
Chains and locks and ropes with knots to tether
But nothing's taking to the pieces
I can't seem to hold it all together
But you should know
Cause that explains why it all just fell apart
It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
And we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
Well I've been trying to ingest this
But everything to me just seems like nonsense
And I'm not sure if I can get it
I guess its time for me to grow a conscience
To combat the lapse
That explains why all of this simply collapsed
It's been forever since I've gone
But I'm the Cusack on the lawn of your heart
May be forever 'til I go
But before then you should know that I could tear that place apart
And I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
But it's something that you fell into
And crawling out is hard when you
Are not so sure it's what you want to do
Not convinced it's what you want to do
It's just the weight of the world
Giving out under the string
But we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
A nightmare finally shows
It's not the end of the world
Just a calamity
And we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
Should I start this song off with a question?
Or should I say what's on my mind.
(Add a cello here to add a sad impression).
Cause I'm not looking forward to leaving my friends all behind.
I didn't vote (though I'm not proud), cause I'm Canadian, and I'm not allowed.
Give it a go or throw in the towel.
Stand all alone or swim through the crowd.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
By the wayside we fell.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
It's your decision, choose it well.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
Decisions we make; life's an election.
Precision we take, seeking direction.
But there's so many lies.
Unsure where we can look.
But we've got a guide- a really thick handbook.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Are you with me or against me?
Noticed you're sitting on the fence.
We wondered why you're not cut and dry.
You got to choose our side and live, or their side and die.
Which hand holds your soul?
Do you want to guess one?
If it scares you to death, may that be your lesson.
It's your decision, make it the best one.
New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.
Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.
Charles, I love you,
Love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.
Go up to her and say you're a believer.
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile.
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.
Marilyn Manson (Marilyn Manson)
Ate my girlfriend.
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.
Marylin Manson (Marilyn Manson)
Ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth, now she belives in sin.
She denies God when she has the chance to live for Him.
The thought of it makes me cringe.
Her future looks dim.
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Marilyn Manson, he's not cool.
Marilyn Manson went to Matt Hoope's school.
Marilyn Manson, he's not nice.
Marilyn Manson shows are overpriced.
Marilyn Manson, yeah.
When he was seeing her
You could see he had his doubts
And now he's missing her
Because he knows he's missing out
Now it's haunting him
The memories like a ghost
He's so terrified
Cause no one else even comes close
He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
So then, along comes me,
This undeserving mess (undeserving mess)
Who would believe my life
Would be so blessed (life would be so blessed)
Two years ago
He left all that debris (left all that debris)
Who would of known
It would be everything I need
He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy as me
She and I settled down you can bet
That he is going to have to settle for less
He's someone that I would hate to be
I got the girl and he's left with just the memory.
He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
What do I do
That amounts to
anything at all
wake me if I fall... asleep
My goals are what
they should be but
my mind will have to change
and see things another way
I'll be Taken a bull by the horns
take the action in this world
Jumping into the ring
and take control of everything
The blame im not thinking thats me of course
I look in the mirror and I see the source
spot my problems going to change my ways
I need Gods love I need his grace
i'm going to chage my ways- yeah yeah today
once again
I've fallen into sin
its like quicksand around my soul
the more I struggle the stronger it holds
onto me i want to be free
want to be able to see
that theres another way
if I check myself to day I want to
take a bull by the horns
take some action in this world
Jumping into the ring
and take control of everything
The blame im not thinking thats me of course
I look in the mirror and I see the source
spot my problems going to change my ways
I need Gods love I need his grace
People make mistakes
we find that everything breaks
and it always is the same, gotta find someone to blame
and these errors that we make (cause we're all human earthquakes)
yeah, we made the hurricane, yet we're not the one's to blame?
we point the finger even though it's not polite
we condemn the son of God (we're hoping two wrongs make a right)
maybe it is them
or, maybe it is me
or, maybe it's maybeline
people make mistakes
we took the apple from the snake
and it always is the same:
gotta find someone to blame
our reputations were at stake, but the guilt we could not take
America's gone done the drain
the president's fault again?
we point the finger even though it's not polite
we condemn the son of God (we're hoping two wrongs make a right)
maybe it is them
or, maybe it is me
or, maybe it's maybeline
the truth is, excuses are lame
accept consequence
accept the blame
we're all sinners
we're all unclean
maybe we're born with it
Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
And I can't be late 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
Got to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane, I still couldn't make it on time
Because it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there
Oh, it's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
All of my nights why did my lover
Have to pick last night to get down
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He said to me in his quiet riot voice
"Come on, feel the noise"
Time, it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
(I wish it was Sunday)
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
Our concentration it contains a deadly flaw
our conversations change from words to blah, blah blah
we took prescription drugs but look how much good that did
well I think I had a point, but I just got distracted
Lately it just seems to me
like we've got the letters A.D.D.
branded into our mentality
we simply can't focus on anything
because its
17, 18, 19 routine
and here at 23 it's the same old me
and that one thing of the moment
that we all happen to like will
only very temporarily
kinda break the cycle
of the double edged sword
of being lazy and being bored
we just want more and more and more
till it's all we can afford
to keep our eyes open for just one more day
to keep on hoping that we'll stumble on a way
to keep our minds open for just one more day
cause its completely up to us
to maintain consciousness
well no one can possibly listen to this
more than 4 reps is just monotonous
Hey taxi
Take me straight to the heart of it
The nucleus of politics
Where somebody, somebody started it
'Cause they taxed me
With a scalpel piece by piece
They cut me deep and bled me dry
Until there was nothing left to bleed
And this is how I choose to live
As if I'm jumping off a cliff
Knowing that you'll save me
Knowing that you'll save me
And after all the stupid things I did
There's nothing left there to forgive
Because you already forgave me
Yeah, you already forgave me
Just keep driving
Leave this defeat miles behind me
So far back I'd have to rack
My mind had just remind me
I keep trying
To pick myself back up and then move on
And think about the life
I'll have when this fragile one is gone
And this is how I choose to live
As if I'm jumping off a cliff
Knowing that you'll save me
Knowing that you'll save me
And after all the stupid things I did
There's nothing left there to forgive
Because you already forgave me
You already forgave me
Never forget
There's life after death and taxes
And forgiveness comes
Then all of the rest is what passes away
Death and decay can't touch us now
Every breath that I inhale
Is followed by exhaling
Sure as the one who never fails
I know will never fail me
So never forget
There's life after death and taxes
And forgiveness comes
And all of the rest, it just passes away
Never forget
There's life after death and taxes
And forgiveness comes
Then all of the rest is what passes away
Death and decay can't touch us now
Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed
cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need
and today I will trust you with confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency
and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there
and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength
and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength
and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me
reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you
and I know you know
you touched my life
Jesus, I pray
Take all my mistakes
Throw them away
Destroy them for my sake
Jesus, I call out 'cause I'm sorry
Because I fall so short of your glory
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
I pour out myself
All that I am
You love me so much
That you fill me again
And may these words on my heart, on my lips
Somehow mean so much more than this
Jesus, I pray
Know what I'm trying to say
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
'Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
I pour out myself, before you were Lord
I hold nothing back, 'cause to you less is more
And may these words on my heart on my lips,
Somehow mean so much more than this
Jesus, I pray
Just know what I'm tryin' to say
Jesus, I plead
Please purify me
Make my heart clean
Drench me with your mercy
Jesus, I pray
I love you, I need you
For the rest of my days
I swear I will seek you
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
Here's the kick off.
Hope your not sick of relient k or all the songs we play.
if it hurts,
kiss it better
you wear skirts,
i write nice letters
never said nothing with flowers
though we always talked for hours
and it seems to get much colder
when you cry on your own shoulder
and we know the show
must go on
guess i know
i guess i'll throw on
some jefferson airplane
i'm trapped and i am enclosed
but i won't complain
i'll open all the windows
jefferson airplane
i'm trapped and i am enclosed
but i won't complain
i'll open all the windows
cause when it's colder
i feel much better
when i cry on my own shoulder
i'll just throw on a sweater and go
and i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
and when i'm home, i think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window
i'll make the calls
you cover your ears
niagra falls
still flows on new year's
i will save
your plunging neck-line
kiss your face
you try to deck mine
if i behave it's going to cost him
stop the rave in downtown boston
and we know the show
must go on

i'm trapped and i am enclosed

i'll open all the windows

i'm trapped and i am enclosed
but i won't complain
i'll open all the windows
cause when it's colder
i feel much better
when i cry on my own shoulder
i'll just throw on a sweater and go
and i'll go to undergo a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood
and my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude
and i'll go to undergo a change of heart, a change of clothes
and when i'm home, i'll think i'll go eat cereal and stare out the window
cause you confused me more than anyone
an adjustment has begun
to let me feel the desperate need to leave what we undid undone
and maybe you could sympathize
with the bags under my eyes
and we'll see the signs are saying that we have used up all our (tries)
try to be a better person
to be a better friend
to be a better son
he tries to be a better someone
that understands the difference
and that he can't show all the people all the things that really mean as much as he could (feel)
feels like i don't remember
ever being this tired (before)
before now my eyes were closed to all of the beauty in this world
jefferson airplane
i'm trapped and i am enclosed

that i've found myself able to fly away without magic feathers or jefferson aero planes
so it was jeremy in 1983
in his ocean pacific t
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard
that tuesday night
and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
cutting class through the first floor window
he's driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
and i look up to my big bro
cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go
and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom (a pink tux to the prom)
doo doo, a doo doo doo
pink tux to the prom
doo doo, a doo doo doo
pink tux to the prom
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
when you're president of the breakfast club
and you're not hesitant to fall in love (to fall in love)
to throw it away to fall in love with the 80's
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...
cause you threw it away to fall in love with the 80's
doo doo, a doo doo
doo doo, a doo doo
It's always nice to look out the window
And see those very first few flakes of snow
And later on we can go outside
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky
When February rolls around I'll roll my eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
For the green grass waiting on the other side
It's always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope
It'd be so nice to look out the window
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
The birds would congregate and sing
A song of birth a song of newer things
The wind would calm and the sun would shine
I'd go outside and I'd squint my eyes
But for now I will simply just withdraw
Sit here and wish for this world to thaw
And everything it changed overnight
This dying world you brought it back to life
And deep inside I felt things
Shifting everything was melting
Away oh away
And you gave us the most beautiful of days
Cause when it's always winter but never Christmas
Sometimes it feels like you're not with us
But deep inside our hearts we know
I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it its upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
If I was hasty maybe I was rushed along
I won't move into little boxes and then not get the itch to move on
So think real slow
Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
Melting prints of grass and snow
Means I may forget the way to get back home
Cause this is the end if you want it
This is the end
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off
You'll take me home
Like my family did my father did I know
You'll think real slow
But don't forget the speed that I can go away
Cause this is the end if you want it
Yeah this is the end
I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents
I a statue, stood there mesmerized
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side
Blisters on my feet I crawled back home
Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stones
Nourished back to life by life alone
I made a habit
Of never making promises
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it
From now I'll make you one that is
To keep you here with me
But as every second mark goes by
I feel it's just a waste of time
If I'm not with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are (my home is where you are)
It's getting oh so hard
To spend these days
Without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know that I
I'm taking you with me
And so I'm trying
To hold it all together and
Make it through the day
When I'm just dyin'
To drop it all and take your hand
So we can run away
And all the miles and the hours
That seem to endlessly devour
The time that I could be with you
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is where you are (my home is where you are)
It's getting oh so hard
To spend these days
Without my heart
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
Where I should have to leave
I hope you know that I
I'm taking you with me
Every second that goes by
Is one more second of my life
And it couldn't be more clear
That I would die without you here
And every second that goes by
Is one more second of my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm dying without you here
Yeah every second that goes by (yeah every second that goes by)
So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever I wanna be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
Where I should have to leave
I hope you know that I
I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made from what
I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need
When my hopes seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
And read my words there on the beach
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
I Don't Need A Soul
I listen to the sirens as they sing me back to sleep
I pray that no one's seriously hurt
It feels like everything is dying at the pivot point of me
I listen to the sirens tell me things could still be worse
Cause if you close your eyes and listen close
You can hear the chapter close
And its already bound and better closed
And you like the way this story goes
Cause the sun still burns the shadows out
And there's nothing to complain about now
Cause if this was our destiny I'd treasure the fact
And I'd give you whats left of me if I'd held back
But I don't need a soul
No I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
Departing from the hospital
Ill news shows on your face too well
You're trying not to cough at all it hurts
All options are exhausted all your numbered days are numbered small
I miss you now
I loved you
And I know things could still be worse
But if you close your eyes and listen close
You can hear the chapter close
And its already bound and better closed
And you like the way this story goes
Cause the sun still burns the shadows out
And there's nothing to complain about now
Cause if this was our destiny I'd treasure the fact
And I'd give you whats left of me if I'd held back
But I don't need a soul
No I don't need a soul to hold
Without you I'm still whole
You and life remain beautiful
And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You've touched my life
Because here is where You're finding me, in the exact same place as New Year's eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be
And the first time
That You opened Your eyes did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And so this Christmas I'll compare the things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that what You did
That you were born so I might live
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself
I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified
And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty
Your love regardless of
The mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize you're all I'll ever need
You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple, but so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
And sometimes I spend my time
Just trying to escape
I work so hard so desperately, in an attempt to create space
Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see your love, then turn my back and beg for you to go
You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one knows me yet still loves completely
And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy I know that its already yours
And through the times I've faded and you've outlined me again
You've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then
The noise has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
A roll of the dice
A slip of the tongue
I was stirring up the hornets' nest
and finally got me stung
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
Said I'd do the right thing
But the wrong was done
It's over, exuse my grammer
But the fat lady sung
whoa oh whoa oh
And I wish I was Michael J Fox
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Hello McFly)
When I cleaned up my act
Yeah I don't know
What went through my head
Was my conscience shot?
Was it left for dead?
I said I'm sorry
But no one heard
'cause actions (actions) actions
Actions speak louder than words
I think I made God angry
and I'm sure that he's irate
I just hope my remorse was not too little too late
whoa oh whoa oh
Even my track record
He gave me a clean slate
I'm forgiven and I'm livin'
With no sin on my plate
whoa oh whoa oh
And I wish I was Michael J Fox
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Hello McFly)

Yeah I don't know

I said I'm sorry
But no one heard

Christians-- we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.
We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.
Let's go!
Christians-- we mourn, the thorn is stuck
in the side of the body watch it self-destruct.
The enemy is much ignored
when we fight this Christian civil war.
We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Bana na na na, na na na
Let me pause to clarify
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you and proudly claim
to belong to what this song complains.
I'm part of the problem,
I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest.
Let's extinguish the anguish
for which we're to blame,
and save the world
from going down in flames.

No one told me
The right way
The right way to go about this
So I'll figure it out for myself
Cuz how much
Is too much
To give you
Well I may never know
So I'll just give until there's nothing else
Yeah I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give
No one told me
How bad I need you (need you)
But I somehow arrived
To that conclusion all by myself (all by myself)
And I want
All you have to offer (to offer)
So I offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else
And I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to
Give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
Sometimes I think
Like all I ever do
Is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way (that's not the way)
I wanna live (I wanna live)
I need to change (I need to change)
But something's got to give
Yeah something's got to
Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to give
Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give
Give until there's nothing left
When I made up my mind and my heart along with that
To live not for myself but yet for God somebody said
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into?"
When I finally ironed out all of my priorities
And asked God to remove the doubt
That makes me so unsure of these
Things I ask myself I ask myself
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into?"
I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life
When he looked at me and said
"I kind of view you as a son"
And for one second our eyes met
And I met that with the question
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into?"
I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life
I've been a liar and I'll never amount to
The kind of person You deserve to worship You
You say You will not dwell on what I did
But rather what I do You say
"I love You and that's what You are getting Yourself into"
I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life
I'm getting into You
Because You got to me
In a way words can't describe
I'm getting into You
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm gonna love You with my life
You said
excuse me, but i've got a request
could you take the gag off of my mouth
i admit that i'm fairly impressed
cause you're the best at blocking me out
i believe that we weren't quite done
i know it's hard to hear me out again
i realize, you're not the only one
who's terrified of life from end to end
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
i'm feeling unwanted, that's not what i wanted
and attention to me is something you refuse to pay
cause i just can't believe the way that this
continues to go on
i say i wish you didn't always think i'm wrong
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
until you see things through from end to end
excuse me, but isn't this the way
that things always turn into something good
you've tried to ignore the things i say
but in the end you found you never could
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
you search for the short-cut, you live life but for what
i love you and hope you will find the truth some day
cause i just can't believe the way that this
continues to go on
i say i wish you didn't always think i'm wrong
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
until you see things through from end to end
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
to get you on my good side again
and tell me what will it take
to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
to forget what you knew
just let him find you
Dance your cares away
(Clap clap)
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
(Clap clap)
Down in fraggle rock
Work your cares away
(Clap clap)
Dancings for another day
Let the fraggles play
(Clap clap)
Down in fraggle rock
Dance your cares away
(Clap clap)
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
(Clap clap)
Down in fraggle rock
Work your cares away
(Clap clap)
Dancings for another day
Let the fraggles play
(Clap clap)
Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
Down in fraggle rock
Work your cares away
Dancings for another day
Let the fraggles play
Down in fraggle rock
Down in fraggle rock
Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
We're in the palm of a hand, making a fist
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again
'Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too
So don't you dare blame me
For prying open the door
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves
And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
Than bodies, limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
We kiss goodbye, the cheek of our true love
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again
'Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too, you can forgive me too
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again
'Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too
You can forgive me too, you can forgive me too
You can forgive me, can forgive me
Can forgive me, can forgive me too
Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death, I still dwell in?
I try to excel but I feel no movement
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
Never underestimate my Jesus
You're tellin' me that there's no hope
I'm tellin' you, you're wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
I throw up my hands, oh the impossibilities
Frustrated and tired, where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence, I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fears
Never underestimate my Jesus
You're tellin' me that there's no hope
I'm tellin' you, you're wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands
Place them in your hands, place them in your hands
Never underestimate my Jesus
You're tellin' me that there's no hope
I'm tellin' you, you're wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong
Never underestimate my Jesus
You're tellin' me that there's no hope
I'm tellin' you, you're wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
He will be strong
He will be strong
Now for the question
It just won't go away
So what are we
Gonna do today
Cuz it seems like
For the last four years
We've had far much
Less of a say
I know I always come out
Like a pessimist
But there is always something else
That's leading up to this
Chris used to come
To all the local shows
Back when the days were simple
Do you remember
[Chorus]
Those days are gone but Chris is not
And now he's got the air
And in fact along with that
He's developed a severe disliking for
For the band (for the band)
For the band (for the band)
I don't like, how it seems like
Anything and everything is always
For the band (for the band)
For the band (for the band)
And I don't like, how it seems like
Anything and everything is always
For the band
So don't think I'm going to
Sit and complain
When there's so many
Good things left to say
But watch closely
As i refrain
From forgetting who I am along the way
[Chorus]
She sat me down and said to me
I think you've misplaced your identity
Cuz what you do isn't all of who
You really are
Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key
Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key
i'm falling out of grace with the world
they say i've lost my midas touch what turned to gold now turns to rust
i'm falling out of line with all the stars
that flood my dreams with their guitars and magazines
face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another
i'm falling out of style with the current way things are
the things that make conforming hard
i'm falling out of control and you just can't stop me now
i'll fight as long as time allows
face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another band-aid
i'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and i know i'm never falling out
of favor with you
i'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and i know i'm never falling out
of favor with you
i won't think twice or even three times
about taking a gamble with you
cause with my life you have been so kind
i take all my comfort from you
face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds ground into my face now
and every angle's covered with just another band-aid
i'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and i know i'm never falling out
of favor with you
i'm out here way beyond
a shadow of a doubt
and i know i'm never falling out
It's the principle, it's the issue
That your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into that all American Box
That coffin created for creative thought
It's disgusting, his priorities
How we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your heart
He finished this racism before he reached the start
Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a Heaven
There'll be a failure to excommunicate
The world just keeps you at an arm's length
Every week you work up the strength
To fight the flames that are hurled, let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you
It's disgusting, their priorities
How we're entrusting them with authority
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart
They finished this racism before they reached the start
Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a Heaven
There'll be a failure to excommunicate
Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a Heaven
There'll be a failure to excommunicate
Failure to excommunicate
It smells so sweet outside today
The sun smiles down, I'm in the shade
I sit and think about all my friends and how good they are
But when today is yesterday
I know that things won't stay the same
But I know that the memories won't go too far
Round and round the world will turn
Lessons taught and lessons learned
Jesus gets us through the good and bad times
And lets me know that everything will be just fine
Everything will be just fine
Everything is gonna be fine
Everything will be just fine
A year's passed since I wrote this song
A lot's gone right, a lot's gone wrong
But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side
And I see the sun still shines
It shines outside and in my life
And I know that everything is gonna be just fine
Round and round the world will turn
Lessons taught and lessons learned
Jesus gets us through the good and bad times
And lets me know that everything will be just fine
Everything will be just fine
Everything is gonna be fine
Everything will be just fine
Round and round the world will turn
Lessons taught and lessons learned
Jesus gets us through the good and bad times
And lets me know that everything will be just fine
Everything will be just fine
Everything is gonna be fine
Everything will be just fine
Fear can drive stick and it's taking me down this road
A road down which I swore I'd never go
And here I sit, thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit I might self-destruct
So lock the windows and bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems without creating more
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love and the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out, reconstruct
But in the end it's nothing but a shell of what I had when I first started
An injury, I'll cause with my own fist it
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story without all this dissension
So I inflict the conflict with the utmost of intention
So lock the windows and bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems without creating more
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love and the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out, reconstruct
But in the end it's nothing but a shell of what I had when I first started
I thank you God for giving me the insight
So I might make these wrongs right
If and when there ever is a next time
'Cause failure is a blessing in disguise
Pull my heart out, reconstruct
In the end, it's nothing but a shell of what I had when I first started
A shell of what I had when I first started
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love and the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out, reconstruct
But in the end, it's nothing but a shell of what I had when I first started
When I first started, a shell of what I had when I first started
Deck the halls with bought of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Troll the ancient youletide carol,
So this is how the story goes.
I want everybody to know.
We love Skittles and Combos.
So bring some to our next show.
From our head down to our toes.
We love Skittles and Combos.
So if you want to see our faces glow
Just bring some to our next show.
Deny us Combos
Refuse us Skittles
I admit those words hurt a little
But we know it'll be okay
If you just send some our way
Mmm thats it mm it makes me hungry ha
Someone please save us, us college kids
What my parents told me is what I did
They said go to school and be a college kid
But in the end I questioned why I did
I'm poor, I'm starving, I'm flat broke, I've got no cash to spend
Sell all my books for front row tickets to Dave Matthews Band
My girlfriends at another school I know this year will test her
I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester
And thats why I say
"Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree"
Eighty grand later I found out that all I had learned
Is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms
The party scene is kinda mean, I think it's sick and twisted
The navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that I enlisted
And thats why I say
"Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree"
Don't get excited, she'll say no without a doubt you see
And I've decided college girls just wont go out with me
They make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
Like cell phone service I drop out 'cause college is too hard
Its time to call my father
'Cause it's his alma mater
Good grades aren't what they seem
I think he knows the dean
It's time to call my father
'Cause it's his alma mater
He said he's proud of me
But college always was his dream
And I would always say its not for me
Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all I need
I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree
Someone please save us, us college kids
What my parents told me is what I did
They said go to school and be a college kid
But in the end I questioned why I did
Do what will make you happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters
Learn how to live your life
Do what will make you happy
Do what you feel is right
Only but one thing matters
Once apon a time I dreamt that you were mine. But I never expected that dream to come true. And now you're in my arms, and we're walking to your home. And all I can think about is you. Hey, do you have to go away just yet? Hey wait I think I really must confess that you looked really good last night. Last night. Last night. We talked about this think that only God could bring into our lonely lives. And you and I've just seen we fit together perfectly. And now I'm doin' alright. Hey, do you have to go away just yet? Hey wait I think I really must confess that you looked really good last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night. Last night.
To know her is to love her
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse but not get caught
But to see her could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
Can’t hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they’ll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
For she outshines anyone whoever might
Dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don’t seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady I’m the tramp.
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in a butterfly
Ew just a moth drawn to the lamp
She’s like an ancient artifact
Something you’re lucky to have found
She’ll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
A solar flare shines through her hair
It's so unfair when you compare
Oh uh... hey good morning tiffany. uh, hey you know what? I just wanted to thank you for this amazing breakfast, uh, the scrambled
I was going to spell it out in full detail but
I dropped the call before I spilled my guts
But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be
'Cause if you heard anything, you didn't hear it from me
And I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock
And saving them for later when I'm too ticked to talk
And I need some time to search my mind
To locate the words that seem so hard to find
Sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
The most crucial thing I lack is a thing called tact
And if you're always so intently listening
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
To bite my tongue
It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouth
And the worst of me just seems to come right out
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick
But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick
And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
The smartest thing to say is to tell myself
To keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed
And when I finally do, let it come from you
The peace of understanding grips my soul
You're the reason I've found meaning in this life
So I'll swallow up my pride and give you control, I give it to you
But I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
To bite my tongue
Yeah, I'm not angry
And no, I'm not upset
It's taken me awhile
But this is what I've learned
Emotional attachment is really not a threat
When I'm simply not concerned
The things that I take on
I soon shrug off
'cause I know no one
Will ever be content
With the way things are
Or with what they've got
So I've given up and now I'm just indifferent
You all laugh at me
Like I'm not happy
With anything, any time, anywhere
And the half of me's all about apathy
And the other half just doesn't care
I must admit;
All the words you spoke, I hated
Cause I don't see just how I can be motivated
Enough to break a sweat over a dying race
It seems our fate is something we've already embraced
Yeah, I'm not angry,
And no, I'm not upset
It's taken me awhile
But this is what I've learned
Emotional attachment is really not a threat
When I'm simply not concerned
You all laugh at me
Like I'm not happy
With anything, any time, anywhere
And the half of me's all about apathy
And the other half just doesn't care
Yeah, bein' apathetic's a pathetic way to be
(I don't care)
What matters to you does not matter to me
('cause I don't care)
So take a wild guess
It's like I just couldn't care less
If all the things you find impressive
Just blew up and made those messes
That you'll frantically repair
Like it's a life or death affair
And all the while you're unaware
For this, you really shouldn't care
But it's so hard to see the reality
That the end will be the end of things
And our hearts are all we get to bring
So let's go ahead and make them worth something
You all laugh at me
Like I'm not happy
With anything, any time, anywhere
And the half of me's all about apathy
And the other half just doesn't care
You all laugh at me
Like I'm not happy
With anything, any time, anywhere
And the half of me's all about apathy
And the other half just doesn't care
I'm well aware that everything
Is a far cry from all right
I'm well aware that all of us
Can at times, be too uptight
And possibly, the remedy
Is a dose of apathy
You point your finger at you
Well Brian and me well,
We both agree that,
That penny loafers are absurd,
'Cause I dont know why on earth,
You would take yout two cents worth,
And stick them in your girly shoes,
And Dave replied well after all,
Why not at least use quarters,
So then you can make a phone call,
Its finally time, time for our victory lap,
Assemble the B, just one left turn,
The matchbox tires spin out on the welcome mat,
And the firemen are tired men,
who cant put out the rug burn,
And they say,
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
So that you can dream of destinations
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
While all the while you're singing good vibrations,
You're singing good vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, we both agree
Talked to my sister late last night. And she gave me some advice. And what she said was right. Talked to my sister late last night. I said I've got her on my mind. She said it's good I know my kind. And maybe this time, maybe she's just the one you need. Keep taking your time, you shouldn't go for her full speed. Cause I know that I've never seen your motives more squeaky clean, and my 17 magazine tells me that your in love. Jessica told me that I should take a quiz. 10 yes or no questions to tell me what love really is. I searched for my answers, I lied and said I like nsync. They said my middle name's don juan, and I'm sure of myself I think. Cause I say if your asking me, love is sacred love is sweet, and my 17 magazine tells me that your in love.

Seven swans-a-swimming, six geese-a-laying
Five golden rings, four calling birds
Three French hens, two turtle doves
