Текст песни:

A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are

But crossing a road isn′t easily told
To a young has-been centerfold
Labelled a winner′s episode

Yeah, I′m really clean if you know what I mean
Except for this recurring dream
Of losing total feeling
While the windmill′s squealing
The windmill′s squealing

I paint to kill the dead saints
I paint to make it clear
My colors run in blue and gray
But they give hope to someone dear

Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2AM lovesick
With a walking pneumonia drumkick
And this candle doens′t have a wick
But I′m really not that scared
No, I′m not that scared

A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are

Текст песни:

For 3 weeks, she sleeps
Through the rain
I′ve gotta try, to keep her dry
Or I′m out of ways
Self books, love cooks
Steel her away
Through you know, and where ya go
All in a day
So, la-di-da la-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh
La-di-da La-di-da ah-haa
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohhhh

Текст песни:

A slow strangle with feet on the floor
I′ve got 14 angels and we′re sleeping alone
In the back of a cave, where the rest of us go
To feel normal

I call baby up. Leave me alone.
I′m in pain but I won′t let you band-aid the wound
I′m mad at a stage where I can′t even handle my own

Give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
Until the end

Give me strength to be kind... To combine
All the good things in life that were so hard to find
But I have and I won′t let them go like I do with my friends

Still bearing voices... From front... From behind
They′re the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die
When to cast... When to reel
When to buy... When to steal
When to fiend for the friends that taught me
Being inappropriate will

Give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
You give me a quiet mind and I...
I love you
Till the end

Текст песни:

i thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

It hurts
That drops of fire would fall so precise
And how everything else would lose its meaning
What a beautiful
What a painful surprise
There is no peace outside if there is nothing within
It hurts
But like coming home
Once dried up
I guess this is what you get
When a heart expands

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

Love is destructive
For the ego
And your voice is the only thing
That speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own
There is no peace outside if there′s nothing within
Love is addictive
For the spirit
And your voice whispers with a roar
That fire rises up, refills
Place the right king on the throne

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love, yeah
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a burning fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a love
I thought about love

Текст песни:

I could not lie
Skin untouched growing thicker for every step unwalked
And I don′t know if it′s the cold intention-slide
Taking me down

But what if you′d sing me alive
I′m ready to give up the fight
′Cause I′m just a stone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone

I could not lie
Even though dead skin like stone makes me ugly
It still pounds inside and it′s red
And it′s slipping through the grey cracks
And I know you know

But what if you′d sing me alive
I′m ready to give up the fight
′Cause I′m just a stone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone

But what if you′d sing me alive
I′m ready to give up the fight
Cause I′m just a stone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone

But what if you′d sing me alive
I′m ready to give up the fight
′Cause I′m just a stone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone
Right after you′re gone

The first thing that meets the eye
When I crossover into the light
I want it to be you
Right after I′m gone
Right after I′m gone
Right after I′m gone

Текст песни:

As soon as you stepped through my door,
I saw You for the first time all over again.
And time well spent seems
Lonelier than the way it used to go.

As I smell you for the first time all over again
I′ll begin to remember to be alive
So if you don′t mind
I think I′ll wear my heart on my sleeve,
′Cause I′m tired of not being able to bleed.

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it′s a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it′s the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it′s a shame how I curl up in the dark

I′ve felt a loss for some time
I slipped, stumbled, but fell face first
straight into your hand.
Then I hit my head on your palm
And waking up to the smell
Of tears drying up in the sand

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it′s a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it′s the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it′s a shame how I curl up in the dark

I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I just ...

All of us are searching for an open arm
Well, it′s a shame how I pull myself apart.
When it′s the same words making me run for cover to your arms.

(All of us are searching for an open arm)
When it′s the same words making me run for cover to your arms.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
(All of us are searching for an open arm)

Текст песни:

Trampoline
I′m your
Trampoline
Oh you jump so hard but I always catch your fall
So now I′ll just
Hide away (you know I think I will)
Hide away
Oh, I run so fast but I always lose them all

I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I′ve done
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
But life i guess it goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I′ve learned it goes on

But then I′ll hang us on the wall
And I′ll crawl in the open side
And I′m blind to it all
So why don′t you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all

You know I think it′s time to pray
For the contortion, my abortion
That I somehow shoved away
I think it′s right for me (yeah I think it′s right for me)
When I was young I was stung
And somehow lost God′s faith

I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I′ve done
I wish I knew how to keep these promises I made
But I guess life goes on
Yeah I know it goes on
You see I′ve learned it goes on

Way back when I must have sinned
I break down profound, beginning, end
Head trip re-grip what doesn′t mend
But I′m wishing this amnesia would kick in [repeat 2x]

Текст песни:

I′m wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?

How do you tell an angel
That you don′t believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone

But oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you′d be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
Oh you′d be happy
Only if you wanted to

How do you tell your Father,
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you′d be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
Oh would you call me?
Oh it′s not hard too
I′m the first one
On your birthday
And oh would you write me
On my birthday
Graduation, was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh...

How do you hold the special victim?
When they push you away
When they′ve been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
Embarassed faces
To scared to ask for help

Oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you′d be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
You′d be happy
Only if you wanted to

I′m wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?

Текст песни:

If I can′t crawl inside of you,
I′m laughing with a broken face
I stumble across my self esteem.
But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space.

Understand...
that God wrapped you like a bow.
But in my head...
There′s some shelves that need cleaning,
from basement to ceiling, control.

If what you′re seeing is an open book,
thats great ′cuz I′m an open book.
But I′m real shy.

There′s a part of me seeking and desperatly needing
to open up.
That′s strange ′cuz I′m an open book,
a confused boy.

I′m an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.
My heart while in its cage, is used to give and not
receive a thing,
But the only funny thing is that I dont know how to give myself advice.

I′ve got this post dramatic thing
I′ve got this tattoo of a ring that lies
around my wedding finger and thats where I want to state this claim.
That I′ve got to learn to live and dream
before I go and get myself in love.

In love.

Theres Zoloft, Welbutrin, theres Paxil thats proven,
no side effects.
But the rest left unnamed ′cuz they worked like a charm on me.

But when your savings is drying,
you can′t stop from crying
you′ve got to suck it up.
You′re not her buttercup,
you′re not her favorite book.
