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.

Sleepyhead 03:19
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.

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!

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

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.

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]

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...

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.
