time and time again
the words are messy and hard to read
(you should take your time)
i'll give it a rest
but i've got plenty of pages left
the cold unfeeling pupils
are staring back at me
because they've been programmed
to turn on and off their pixels
flash 
the world empire strengthens
as voltage powers all
we shall fall
as the world goes on the internet
leave it up to me
and i'll see everything comes out well
(you should save your file)
i'll be finished soon
but if the system crashes
i'll resume
the hard drive has an ego
the circuit boards have won
digits too
but did you know
we'll let them decide
now

break it off


take a piece
break it off
leave the crust
the filling's gone
you take it and run
now i'm here in the
instance of regret
without you there to save me
am i the one
whose supposed to save you now
well i don't remember how
take a piece
break it off
leave the crust 
kill yourself

candlewax


cola (vida?) virgin oil
and a crystal chandelier
glass of (herdot?) perignon
and my paper cup of beer
i got burned
by the fire we started together
cut the thread
that kept us forever
think of something nice to say
add the mumbling from the singer
everything's a darker shade
as the (week now?) turns to gray

powered by scotch


drink
until you forget
taste the fate of the rest
won't you have one more glass
powered by scotch
alone on the yacht
while the kids run amok in the house
a bourbon and coke on a table of oak
as the boys lie awake in their beds
remember what was
sit back and enjoy
the buzz as your cells melt way
turn off the tv
take a load off your feet
as that same old great feeling kicks in
(same old feeling kicks in)

can you see me now?


tell me
what do you see
when you look you the window
a lonely (k)night
left behind
wonders if he should go
on the horizon tonight
can you see me now?
it's me hoping to beat
this evil cast of thousands
on the horizon tonight
can you see me now?
can you see me now?
can you see me now?
tell me
what do you see
when you look out the window
a lonely (k)night
left behind
he has lost his way
can you see me now?
can you see me now?
every time you go
don't wait up for me
don't wait up for me
every time you go
don't wait up for me
cause i'm alright

recently distressed


Dear recently distressed:
I am sorry to inform you
that I lost your kid's address
You see my wings are on the fritz
And I can't even get up off the ground
I'm really sorry for this mess
Because it all came crashing down
Can I remember?
Someone please tell me how to do my job
Or I'm out of work
and speaking frankly
You will be out of luck
Dear recently distressed:
I am sorry to inform you
that I've caused so much unrest

so i fall again


I can't say
if this feeling coming over me is real
But I know its something you can't steal
So I'll buy another problem to approach
Sell a virgin lie that can't be touched
So i'll fall again
So I'll fall again
So I'll break through this rotten piece of wood
again
I can't say 
if this here fucking subject should be dropped
But I know its something you can't stop
So I'll buy another pickup line and sigh
And pretend that everything is alright

asteroid g


just what i needed
some time to myself
when i am bothered by nodody else
sometimes i ponder
over what might go wrong
i don't want to wander
from where i know belong
catch that comet and speed off
catch that comet and speed off
leave the earth now and fly free
come to asteroid g
lets go to astreoid g
so i end up even worse than before
having to scrape
my broken heart off the floor
we'll all still sit here by the curb
and if i ?
she won't be discouraged
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
be back in a month
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
so i can be free
maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay
so maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay

lava light


this is not who
i want to see
their silent heads
eyeing me
drowning down
into a faceful sea
this is not where i want to be
this is not like the days of old
when i'd come to hide from the cold
but rather a place i visit
often faced with
a mode to the left
clowns to the right
something strange
is here tonight
drifting out
further away from me
this is not where i want to be
i wish i could spend the night
to hear you breathe 
and see the light
cause here there can be no one
to destroy me
in the lava light

dying of silence


So as I stand here dying of silence tonight
The quiet spell you slung at the ceiling fan
Will return again
Why?
I ask myself sometimes
Dine on small talk after school
Why?
I ask myself sometimes
So as the mood gets darker and darker tonight
I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable
all right?

last glance


so the trouble starts as i look up and see
i stop dead in my tracks
seems that there is someone watching
but she could tell when i was looking at her
i'm not ashamed to say
was whenever my eyes were open
her ocean blue eyes once have stared at me before
time swallows up the sand
she stares in my direction, yeah
i think she's got a guy
that's never stopped me before
but it won't happen again
i swear those glasses keep me guessing
well is she looking at me
now i can't tell
i really can't be sure
but i'll still stare back at her
so i kept staring into artificial lenses staring back
a frame and two more eyes come between us
hell, i don't know if she intended to stop
the only hope i had left
i'm lost i'm sure she has the upper hand now
i think she's got a guy
but something's stopping me more
and it won't happen again
i swear that last glance kept me guessing
well was she looking at me
now i can't tell 
i really can't be sure

darker shade


Oh that the sun shone down today,
Maybe then you'd see me.
Until then there's one more day,
Patiently I'll wait.
Oh that the sky were blue again,
Maybe then I'd smile.
Until then there's one more day,
Patiently I'll wait.
Spotlight on me; Now can you see
there's something wrong?
Tell me that there's something more
than this darker shade of brown.
Oh that my heart was cold as stone,
Then you couldn't burn me.
Until then I'll wait at home,
Patiently alone.
Spotlight on me
Now can you see
there's something wrong?
Tell me that there's something more
than this darker shade of brown.

bust a move


more and more
as time goes by
your fall; slip away
but everywhere i want to go
says i'm underage
but how was i to know
that every time i twist and shout
i was losing to myself
well
come on and bust a move
as we dance we lose our innocence
come on you're only good
just because
i fail at everything
(woo)
come on and do what you want to do
just shake it loose
and i'll be shaking too
i wonder why as time goes by
i just feel the same
stuck in place
i wait so long
just to feel so lame

please apply yourself to me sweetly

devon's rejection


Yesterday within the crowded room
He was the king of fools
Everyone loved him just the same
Nothing mattered but the game
Look into the face of a demon
That changes from day to day
Nothing is as pure as good
Except her will to stay
Yesterday within the smoke filled room
He meant nothing to you
Nobody cared to say his name
Everything mattered but the game
Look into the face of a demon
That changes from day to day
Nothing is as pure as good
Except her will to stay

invasion of the sunlight snatchers


all we did was talk about it
and all you ever said to me
was how the accident
was just a big mistake
and so you get around it
making sure i'll never know
but guess who'll laugh about it
in a little while
you took it all from me
all i could see
now the only scars
that didn't stay
were skin deep
you took it all from me 
all i could see
now the only scars 
that didn't stay 
were skin deep
a flame that whispers gently
swaying meekly in the wind
but when it swells and growls
everything will singe
and gashes (severs fortense?)
one that you can understand
but now (the fault?) you'll see
is on the other hand
you took it all from me
all i could see
now the only scars
that didn't stay were skin deep
i'll keep the pain i have
bottled inside
but that doesn't mean
that what you did was alright

winter wonderland


sleighbells ring
are you listening?
in the land
snow is glistening
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
he sings you a song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
in the meadow we can build a snow man
and pretend that he is parson brown
he'll ask are you married?
we'll say no, man
but you could do the job while you're in town
when it snows then it's thrilling
though your nose gets a chilling
we'll frolic and play the eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland
in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus (santa) clown
we'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
until the other kiddies knock him down
later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walking in a winter wonderland
