Mentally Snowed In
04:10
|

Wait for me before you go
Because I wanna come too
And I'd really appreciate it
If you would let me
Tag along with you
I don't really care where you're goin'
'cause anywhere is Better than here
Where I feel like I am
Mentally snowed in
And every moment
I feel like the bad vibes around here
Will get to me and
My words through the ink in my pen
Are gonna quit flowin'
Oh, I need new inspiration
I can't deal with all this anger and depression
Maybe I'm just bottled up
If that's the case please open me
Pour me into your cup.

Sleepy head
O' Sleepy head
I am a sleepy head
Sleepy head
O' Sleepy head
I wanna go back to bed
And dream a dream with you inside
Because in my dreams you love me
And you love that I love you
Sleepy head
O' Sleepy head
I am a sleepy head
Sleepy head
O' Sleepy head
I wanna go back to bed
And I sure hope nobody wakes me up
Because this is the only love I've ever known
And I don't want to be interrupted, no, no...
Sleepy head
O' Sleepy head
I am a sleepy head
And just leave me the fuck alone
Sleepy head with sleepy eyes
And sleepy ears and a sleepy nose
And sleepy flesh and sleepy guts
In a sleepy body with sleepy bones
And sleepy arms and legs
And sleepy hands and feet and fingers and toes.

A little too slow
02:41
|
|||
I'm sick and tired of
waiting out in the cold
After every goddamn bus ride
And I'm getting a little too old
For this shit, but I forget
Growing up at all
In my head I'm still a child
Holding my mom's hand at the mall
For my own good Is what you told me
this was all for As you grabbed me by the wrist
And Pulled me through new doors
And when we got outside You were right
I absolutely loved the warmth
And then you asked me
"If you are not happy then why are you smiling
and why are you laughing"?
"Where are the tears,
Why aren't you crying,
Where are the screams of regretting
The past few years"?
Oh, it's okay, its all fine
I've come to accept the fact
That I've wasted all my time
And I haven't got much to show
For the 18 years
I've Spent coasting through life
Just a little too slow.

Torture
03:08
|

I don't know where you are
But that's where I wanna be tonight
N' I don't care where you are
That's just where I wanna be tonight
(Whoooo)
'cause as long as I'm in your arms
I'm gonna feel alright, alright.
Baby, won't you spend some time with me?
We can go to the field
And we can lay on our backs
And we can share the star light
(Whoooo)
I don't know where you are
But that's where I wanna be tonight
N' I don't care where you are
That's just where I wanna be tonight
(Whoooo)
Please tell me if you might
This is torture!
I just wanna be with you tonight
This is torture!

Don't Tell Me
01:27
|
|||
Get out of my way
Get out of my head
I wanna start living
Before I am dead
Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to do
You know I'll never
Surrender to you

Leave Me Alone
03:39
|
|||
From now on
I wish you would keep your mouth shut
It'll get you into more trouble than
You could ever want
And from now on
You should just keep your eyes closed
If you go looking around you'll see things
You never wanted to see before
And from now on
You should just leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me all alone
'cause I wanna be on my own
From now on
You should just keep your mind shut
'cause I know what you're thinking
And I've had enough
And From now on
You might as well Keep your heart closed
'cause I've been there before
And I'm not coming back for your love no more
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
And from now on
You should just leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me all alone
'cause I wanna be on my own
Well I'm better off how I've always been
And I've always been
I'm better off how I've always been
And I've always been better off
How I've always been and I've always been
I'm better off how I've always been
And I've always been...
Alone.

I Miss the Sun
05:10
|
|||
Apathy hits me like wave
When I wake up every day
And I walk around with my blank face
Ignoring everyone on the way
Adolescence more like obsolescence
Yeah, I can see that I'm missing out
But this ennui has a grasp on me
And now I'm trying, trying to find
Somebody or something to share my time
Adolescence more like obsolescence
Oh I miss the sun and the dirt on my face
The breeze in my hair and climbing trees
My time feels wasted spent inside
My castle of notebooks, soda, and sighs
Adolescence more like obsolescence

Janus
02:52

I don't know how I turned out to be
Living the way I am
My days are so uneventful and I hate it
But at the same time I don't give a damn
And you don't know what it's like
For your mind to contradict itself
Every day of your life
And you don't know what it's like
For your heart to contradict itself
Every day of your life
I don't know how long I could go on
Living the way that I am
So discontent with this boredom
But too dispirited to change anything
[chorus]
And as I laid on my side
My pillow got damper with each minute that went by
Cold, salty tears streamed over the plains of my face
Quick to the bridge of my nose, then falling to my other cheek
And I passed out, thinking of the life I'd taken for granted
And the love I've never shown to all the people that deserve to have seen it
[chorus]

Makeshift Suicides
01:55
|
|||
He hung himself in black and white
He pulled the string and turned out the light
He crawled into bed and took a breath
And he let the monsters out of his head
Out of his head...
He painted an apple to look like his heart
And thought about trying to pass it off as art
But he just stuck a knife though it instead
And just sat and watched the juices as they bled
Oh, as they bled...
And he would die every day
That he was alive
From his makeshift suicides
His makeshift suicides...

Something New
04:00
|
|||
This little town has become exhausted
Any magic it had, well, it has long since lost it
And I hate it at home too, but there's no where else to go
Seems like no matter what I do I end up alone
I need something new
Oh, could it be you?
I'll take whatever I can get
Beggars don't have the right to choose
I need to sleep, and I need to eat
'cause I haven't done much of either in the past couple weeks
I hope you can still hear the words that I speak
I can only say this once more, I'm tired and I'm weak
I need something new
Oh, could it be you?
I'll take whatever I can get
Beggars don't have the right to choose
On second thought I love everything the way it is
This stupid town, my family and all of my friends
I take back what I said 'cause I'm not alone at all
Everyone is here with me, and they'll be here for a while
Don't need anything new
Though I'd still like to have you
But I'm happy and content
Let me say that again
Don't need anything new
Though I'd still like to have you
But I'm happy and content
And this... isn't thee end.
