she's got a car that just breaks down
she calls me up I drive her around
but I must be honest I just wanna
take her on an errand with no end in sight
and we'll drive and we'll drive
she's got some marks on her from dad
she says don't freak it's not so bad
she's got herself this new boyfriend
and now she gets her marks from him

Without a Fight

stack your cards against me if that's how it goes
I will not back down now I will not quit easily
first you take my family then you take my friends
try to take my passion, you can not take that away
don't you know that I'll never quit
I don't care what you think is wrong or right
I'm not giving you up without a fight
I don't think you care who you might impair
so long as you get your way
as you build your foundation on crumbling salt
I will not fall with you nor will I feel any pain
no is all I hear
but all I know is that it's not the end
I try and all I get to do
is go to the start and start again
but if you haven't figured out I'll spell it out one at a time
I'm
not
giving
up
without a fight

I see you taking all those pills to feel correct
put em' aside darling cause life is their side effect
I like your body of art
am I in the backseat of your heart
you can have me and if you want to
I will completely be into you
I see you trying to figure out what you should be
spend all your time trying to decide when you're everything to me
did you notice?

Stop
03:42
|

|
I have no fear, I feel no pain
I've shut down my selfish brain
I'm different and I don't fit in
no is all they say
the book is made
you just can't change
you have to be the same like everyone
do you think I'm a joke
you can hold me down, but I won't stop now
you have your doubts, you're questioning
the whole game, everything
you're different, and you don't fit in
or so, or so they say
but who are they
they're different too
and they conformed so they could just feel safe
and they think we're a joke
they can hold us down, but we won't stop now

Fiction

|
I'm here on the stairs
she's got all her things
packed up and ready to go
and I could've done so much for her
but it's no use it's just fiction cause I won't take any action therefore nothing ever happens and I'm safe
still here on the stairs
everyones following
packing up and leaving this town
and I could've done so much for them
but I won't take any action so that nothing ever happens cause when nothing ever happens that's when I am safe

a Lust Song
02:57
|
|||
|
I really need you tonight
I really need you in a bad way
you've got me dangling
by a heart string
do you even really think it's right
running fast until the next red light
my mind just spins around and around
what could I have done what would be going on now
could you help me forget this for a little while
hey
this is a lust song
I don't wanna feel nothing
got the bed sheets covering what's inside
do you even know what's real and does it ever phase you
just to think that nothings real, doesn't leave much to give praise to

temptation comes easily
when you're here right next to me
my thoughts go wild we're on this drive
and I can't tell what you feel inside
running my hand across your leg at sixty miles and hour
and I can't tell if the distance between us is going or gone
how can you be so vague with me
do I need to give more details
the tension builds to a monopoly
consuming both you and me
we're going fast on this interstate
I love the way we communicate
and I want your parts

Better

my friend just took her life today
I hope she's feeling better
and all my efforts to improve have gone astray
I hope it's getting better
oh I could be great but it's easier to escape
so I'm going now and I might not come back
I lost my sense of patience and time
I hope it's getting better
and all my friends are doing just fine
it's got to get better
oh what more to say, when I'm so afraid to pray
cause if I do it wrong, will you strike me down
again
I'm lying in my bed today oh please just make it better
she took my hand and said it would be okay
and it's going to get better
oh it was a dream but it won't slip through the seems
cause I'll get to sleep and I might not come back

Break
04:58
|
|||
|
well I always had this strange fear that
you'd embrace me you'd embrace
and then at a time of your choosing
you'd erase me you'd erase me
you took my best friend away
but that's all you're ever going to take
you can't break me anymore
well I'm always told that all you do
is so right it's so right
all you ever do is make us confused
but I've got a light, now I've got a light
I've been so put out, so infected
with the thought I'm not what you've reflected
but what you take will make me who I am
you've only broken the cage that I was in

Mourning
05:34

child don't regret and don't hide
the sun will set, the sun will rise
times moved so slow yet I can't remember
the last time we laughed together
I find humor in the way things seem to be
I bet that you're laughing instead of missing me
if I could do the same and let go of what's wrong
and forget about the past and try to move on
then I'll be fine
fear tells me love is tired and weathered
fear tells me that I can't do better
fear is what has kept me back from filtering night to day
fear is what keeps me believing that you've gone away
and so will I
if I could talk myself into listening for once
and forget about the question what do we become
then I'll be fine
child don't regret and don't hide
the sun will set
the sun will rise
the sun will rise
