I don't know what surrounds me Sanitary white scenery Flourescent light make things ugly Everything seems to easy to see It reflects off my skin Makes me pale and gray Don't know where I've been Don't know I can say I've been waiting for that light change Change green for me One more day is too much time to waste, with no rest for the weekend One more day is too much time to spend That don't matter when we reach the end Can't control what's been happenin' never been too easy to please But living and dying are the same thing And loneliness is my patented disease The pursuit of a life is a race to the grave Made boredom my wife, I'm her foolish knave Still waiting for my pen to save me ONE TWO THREE FOUR One more day is too much time to waste With no rest for the weekend One more day is too much time to spend Don't matter when we reach the end But something makes me strong, And i know i don't belong, in this face And I struggle to hold on When all my strength is gone, been replaced With too much stuff to think about And not enough to do (I don't even know what I say) ...leads directly back to you And now i lie in the darkness I'm glowing in a blacklight cemetery These cold gravestones are the only souls I caress And I kiss them as I'm crying on my knees And I write out the lines And I try to stay tough And I sing and I shout, But these words aren't enough Can this faded stone quench the fire in my soul? Fire in inside me... One more day is too much time to waste With no rest for the weekend One more day is too much time to spend Doesn't matter when I'm leaving...
Four Years in the Recovery Room
Shivering fear in jellied eyes nylon ropes across my thighs everything is real to me morphine meals and morphine dreams dying thoughts in a chewed-up brain body is entombed in pain i aint got no one to call i can't feel my pulse at all worn out bones push thru my face Red lights keep my heart on pace doctors who will care for me chaplains who will pray for me Four strong limbs that I can't use there's no fate that's left to choose wooden splits that scratch at me test my sensitivity well i got doctors and the nurses who are looking after me and everyone is waiting for a full recovery i'm staring at the ceiling and i cannot feel the floor and i'm calling to my mother and she's walkin' at the door i'm livin' off of glucose and i wonder if i'm dead there are needles in my veins and there are needles in my head i'm talking to my hands but they wont talk back to me i'm trapped inside a body that wont let my mind be free
one two three four girls all around me they just astound me what the fuck i'm gonna do? the girls in the halls and the girls in the malls and the girls on the beach and the girls in the street they all surround me i think they're gonna drown me Estrogen burning my stomach's churning makeup and hairspray and lipstick and perfume rings and such accessories matching bra and panties female vigilantes Out to destroy masculinity girls with their hair flyin' out in the air Stop to tan their skin out in the sun gazing at them was my pasttime of summer but they all want my motherfucking drummer girls at Carvels and girls in hotels Suck nothing but the money from my pay This may sound nihilistic and slightly chauvanistic To all y'all who hide Behind the eyeliner and lipstick what can i say its a mascara nightmare mascara nightmare, mascara... girls with their hair flyin' out in the air Stop to tan their skin out in the sun gazing at them is my pasttime of summer but they all want my motherfucking drummer girls at Carvels and girls in hotels suck nothing but the money from my pay This may sound nihilistic and slightly chauvanistic To all y'all who hide behind the eyeliner and lipstick what can i say its a mascara nightmare mascara nightmare, mascara... it's a mascara nightmare mascara nightmare mascara no!!!
look at everyone see them all in me seasonings and herbs in a melted stew are basted into me blinded by the sun but still i try too see Synthesized visions through a tinted glass That mutes soul in me when i feel the green grass underfoot Fertilizer in my bones We steal the life a dried-up root And search for the unknown shielded by the soundproof glass protected from the cold i reached out with my fingertips my hands too numb to hold and i think about the joy we had when our hearts still were free time winds down like a parking meter i want my time for me so you ask me all your questions and i give you no reply my soul's so dry i cannot feel but you just wanna know why in a world where logic is a joke we long for anarchy well-built minds go up in smoke we're to blind to see reason rips the heart in two cuz reason doesn't care i dont want to be eloquent i just dont want you here!

Oh. Shit Man. I gots to piss.

As I breeze, through two in the morning n' the party's still jumpin' cuz my momma ain't home I got bitches in the living room gettin' it on n' They ain't leavin' til six in the morning (Six in the morning) So what you wanna do, shit I got a pocket full of rubbers n' my homeboys do too So turn off the lights n' close the doors But (but what?) we don't love them hoes (Yeah...)

Chorus
Sitting at a table with a vacuum in my heart My eyes focus only on the floor Reaching out for friendship with a weakened, clammy hand Chilly breeze is knocking at my door I'm sorry to have let you down this way I know I must have let you down before i tried to get the message Through your heart and through your head I don't need your lovin' anymore I think and search for answers But I still can't understand Why you picked apart the heart I gave to you You know I tried to comfort you But could no longer stand The questioning and pain you put me through I promised that I'd always be your friend I said that I would be here through the end But I'm growing up and I'm changing And I can't be standing still The quilt we knit is too torn up to mend You know I never asked too much of you I asked that you would listen and no more I tried to get the message Through your heart and through your head I don't need your lovin' anymore I don't need your lovin' anymore...
I recognize the butterflies That haunt the ground within I fear that I'm becoming stuck Inside the stae I'm in The empty lieas and alibis As evil as before The only place of peace for me Is locked behind my door I can't escape my cynic past To view the sights unseen The nervous laughs like photographs Are etched into my skin Your childish charm seems lost on me Your sympathy, your empathy I have no one to comfort me It's better to pretend Well I stripped my pride down to the skin In trying to find a friend A silent war inside yourself With nothing to defend Beyond the faded fantasies, the silent pleas And pleasantries I have no one to comfort me It's better to pretend I search and dig within my self To walk this ground unknown An orphaned child in a nursery ward I face the world alone Your childish charm seems lost on me Your sympathy your empathy i have no one to comfort me It's better to pretend I have no one to comfort me It's better to pretend
Melting as the snow unveils the Earth Trying to scrub the stain out of my shirt Humbles me to think Platitudes pretty and pink Somehow I think I should know more I'll just wait here and beg for forgiveness To atone for a debt I can't repay There's a part of myself that I'll never know Perhaps I'll be different some day I'm alone here absorbed into the mirth The stranger with whome no one may converse So we try to reverse A moment gone by Bury our fears in a sigh I'll just wait here and beg for forgivness To atone for a debt I can't repay There's a part of myself that I'll never show Perhaps it is better that way Better that way And I'm silently drained of my reason And all that I hold I will betray There's a part of myself that I can't control Perhaps I'll be different some day Perhaps I'll be different some day Perhaps I'll be different some day Perhaps I'll be different some day
It's night and she don't come to me I lie here by myself I rearrange the moments past And place them on a shelf And dark forces call to me A sullen breeze has blown It's hard to move now when your strength is gone And I can never capture in your eye An image I could hold The story seems to pass me by Before the plot unfolds But why fight Tonight The rancid scent of spring is here The season has begun And though my soul is singing clear I'm shaded from the sun Now you lie laughing on the shore Beneath your blanket soft and warm Your comfort cannot pacify the storm And I can never capture in your eye An image I could hold The story seems to pass me by Before the plot unfolds All this time I've wanted you It's always made me sad To think about the _____ (?) And I want the girl I had Cheer me up with reason Show me all the times have to pay(?) Sew me up and heal me All the other thought could convey In my dreams your colors circle me And quickly wash to gray 'Cause if I can't see it Must be gone away-- Away
