Stay Awake

I'm so tired
but my bed is on fire
I can't rest my head- I wanna be dead
extreme lack of sleep I'm in far too deep
I’m really really really sorry I can't stay...
awake
stay
my sleep pattern's off
just nail me to that cross
I'll rest my head-I'll hang there dead
no more lack of sleep I'm now yours to keep
but I'm really really really sorry I can't stay...
awake
stay
I’m sorry I can’t stay awake
Stay away

this is a great conversation
that we're having here
you really got me, you're oh so funny and I’m a slave to your wit
you're walking with the masses
who love their fucking lives
oh look at you- you smile all the time
nothing’s new and I’m just doing alright
I’ve told you now about a thousand times
this is a great conversation
that we're having here
it's like I really care about what you have to say, hey I can pretend too
and I'm sure you're listening
to every single word
cuz we're all so interesting it's absurd
still nothing new and I’m not doing fine
I’ve told you now about a thousand fucking times
cuz you’re so concerned.
I work well with others
always
I work better alone
sometimes
I often talk about people behind their back
never
I often talk…it’s just talk
talk, talk, talk

every night this town surrenders
every night this town surrenders to ghosts
just take look around
every night these streets surrender
every night these streets become the host
just take look around
three ways in and no way out
shit eating plastic grins all around
and all these violins don’t make a sound
every night this town surrenders
every night this town surrenders to ghosts
just take look around
every night these streets surrender
every night these streets become the host
just take look around
welcome to smalltown, USA
you'll never leave

Miserable
03:28
|

bring on the melodrama; the hip new trend
you love to hate yourself just like me
so let us drown in our own misery
cuz no one really wants to be happy
and yes we love her against our will
and we'll still love her, unconditionally
and yes we love her because it hurts
and we'll still love her, unconditionally
you know, that I know, what you did, how you hid, like a kid
"I have an illness," you proclaimed.
"oh, okay."
let it slide or kill you with kindness 'til you come clean
or just ignore it; cuz it doesn't mean much to me
and yes we love her against our will
and we'll still love her, unconditionally
and yes we love her because it hurts
and we'll still love her, unconditionally
so take your pick:
OCD
ADD
depression or anxiety
ASPD
split-personality
bi-polar or how about some shock therapy?
and yes we love her against our will
and we'll still love her, unconditionally
and yes we love her until it hurts
and we'll still love her, unconditionally

I breathe your love
I sweat your love
I shake your love
I smell of your love
and you snort your love
inhale your love
inject your love
you bleed, you cry your love
I’m addicted
I'm addicted to your love
and it hurts…so good
well I hate myself
and I blame myself
I can't help myself
I said I can't help myself
I’m addicted
I’m addicted to your love
please
and all we want is more

everybody's always asking the same questions
what’s your plan; what do you believe?
why are you so concerned with me? why don't you worry about yourself?
I know your’re making those little comparisons in your brain
trying to make yourself feel better about your choices
your path.
your beliefs.
well, I don’t know much, but I do know this:
it’s a small world; it’s a small, small world
funny story:
I asked a co-worker if he heard of that creature-
that lizard that walks on water
he said “no”
let me continue:
he began to question me; he asked me what I believe
he asked "do you believe in god"
I said “no”
I scratch my head until it bleeds

your denial is a river
build a bridge; get over it quicker
you don't know what I’m going through
(yes I do: all humans suffer)
your denial is a river
build a bridge; get over it quicker, yeah
some lucky people find what they need
the other people get stuck up stream
all those years I never really wasted
I just took some time to get myself complacent
your denial is a river
build a bridge; get over it quicker
some lucky people find what they need
the other people get stuck up stream
like me

apathy is a drug
it's only human to fall in and out of love
I love you, but you don't love me
so contrited; unrequited

everybody's always lookin' at him
he's got it all under control
everybody's always lookin' at him
he's got it all under control

and listen to how he talks
no one can ever be so perfect, man
everybody's always lookin' at him
he's got it all under control
he's got something crawling under his skin

B-Sides - Trapped Inside
02:27
|
|

|
I stare at a wall- blank and empty
no thoughts in my head, not a sound is made
nothing is real.
I’m trapped inside my mind
this light is blinding-need to find an exit
sights are deceiving- need to break free
break free from this limbo
find me- find myself in my own mind
trapped inside my mind not a sound is made
the light is blinding
these sights are deceiving
need to find an exit need to break free
trapped inside my mind

I live under a rock- a salamander under a rock
I don’t care what’s going on, on the outside
cuz I’m safe here, under my rock
my neighbor is a giant centipede
he’s got so many legs; I can’t count ‘em
he’s got so many legs I can’t count
he’s got so many legs I can’t count that high
I’m safe here
Under my rock
