Bored of the rain Sick of the bus It’s so strange It’s such a rush In the morning Will you suffer with me I'm always asking for something Please stop hanging around Cause I just can't take it Bored of the summer Can’t wait for the fall Everyone knows I'm a bummer Everyone knows I'm no fun at all and You suffocate my suffering You dull my disdain Please stop hanging around Cause I just can't take it Honestly It's all just a matter of time but i love a long goodbye Well defined Wonderful nude So insincere Somewhat astute Would you mourn me? Cause I’d so mourn you I’d even scoff at the chatters Please stop hanging around Cause I just can't take it anymore

Walking backwards, but some call that fate It always starts out as a crush, next thing you know it you're attached I've seen a movie, you've got ideas Truth is the vision you have is breeding the lack Once in a lifetime Close to 3 or 4 though Living in the moment One must be so charmed though You cling and you crave You hand-wring, you're let down It's boring and strange To love You and I are an ice cream cone Our love is the sun inasmuch it rises and sets I've seen a movie, you've got ideas That's just the way that it works, maybe that's OK You cling and you crave You hand-wring, you're let down It's boring and strange It's costly, it's mundane You cling and you crave To love

Darkhorse 04:43
It starts Corrosively Every moment gained is A moment gone Expectations high Why shouldn’t they be Confidence and trust The rising sun Nice and safe So much time Slips away Waiting for the prize So what happened here? When did it dissolve? How could every promise Be a bluff Expectations wrong How couldn’t they be? Confidently trust The setting sun

Drip 04:39
When something is uncomfortable I always seem to think that's bad I'm such a pain in the ass I've always felt so alone You have so much love to give I'm so in love with you Love has no direction Love is an intersection Love is absurd Love is the word Lover, you see into me, and still find love in something empty If I got hurt or I got sick, Even- if it was really bad You would be there for me The truth is I'm a selfish guy And that's so unfair to you I'm so in love with you Love has no direction Love is an intersection Love is absurd Love is the word Lover, you see right through me, and still find love in something empty I'm still a drip like i always was But I think about you all the time I'm so in love with you

Copy Cat 03:20
Same talents Same pallets We go together so easily I’ll give it I’ll live it Whatever you wanna do Don’t stray too far from our progress can’t you think back Relax , guess that’s our best , still Everything I do I’ll do exactly like you do I’ll be cut in two You’ll put us both back together Throw the other half out the window I’ll be ok without it Standing right behind you Sit with it Stir in it We’ll make a movie I’ll play your part It’s easy Can you see it? Getting closer all the time Don’t take too long, what’s wrong? Tell me I’ll be just like last time you tried but I’ll get it right

You've got me right in the palm of your hand Asleep at the foot of your bed I’d cut myself loose, if I could just figure out the knife Never made it that far I don't wanna be your dog anymore I don't wanna be your dog anymore You just make me lay down on the floor I don't wanna be your dog anymore You've got me right at the foot of your bed Kept and allowed and required Just an idea I could stay home alone tonight You go ahead, I'll be fine

Thrasher 01:40
If I wanted to disappoint you I would not say any thing I could crunch my face up make you wonder what a crunchy face means but i'm not the thrashing type and i'm not about to start i'm not the thrashing type I'm careful with your heart No thrashing If I wanted to just annoy you I would not say any thing

Common Folk 03:39
Hey kid, what do you know? Black clouds and a microscope A microscope, what do you see? I see the people laughing at me Laugh and sneer and roll their eyes Happens more than you realize Can't escape can't ascend Trade up for the play-pretend Lesson learned, never again Idiot kid, you let them in Keep em out, keep em away Sulking while they congregate Congregation, what a joke I heard it's for the common folk Conversation amateur All I know is caricature

I love my new medication Feels like total elation new medication Has taken a hold of me I love my new medication Feels like I'm on vacation New medication Has taken a hold of me I was feeling so down New medication turned it around I was feeling so tired New medication has got me wired I love my new medication My everyday placation New medication Has taken a hold of me I love my new medication Feels like a celebration New Medication Has taken a hold of me I was feeling pretty sick New medication kicks in quick Now I feel brand new New medication I love you I love my new medication Feels like total elation new medication Has taken a hold of me I love my new medication Feels like I'm on vacation New medication Has taken a hold of me

Turn ashamed go Now away I Slop downstairs you Comb your hairs and I’m Down for the count Breathe that breath don’t Second guess don’t Reach or cling no Suffering but I’m Down for the count Sit and wait and Contemplate my Life my love my Lack thereof and I’m Down for the count
12.
Don't stay up late Call if something hurts Clean up your mess Terrycloth and dirt A body aches A mind does something worse A family cries Terrycloth and dirt We watch the tapes Feel so self assured The credits roll Terrycloth and dirt Soon

Pancake 03:02
Sometimes you feel very nice and sometimes you feel very sad Sometimes bad things do occur and you will wish they hadn’t occurred But that’s just normal life It is nice, and it’s sad And it’s the only one you have Often people do or say things, and you feel animosity towards them It can start out so benign and next thing you know you’re harboring serious baggage Learn to let it go It feels nice, no more sad That’s a choice that you will have You were just a pancake once, it’s true And I almost ate you But I’d never do that to you
