Safety

Muscles, limbs can't move, paralyzed mind is stuck. Time pulsates inward, the escape is closed. Hunger scratches a throat, cigarettes suppress it, sleep turns it off, death can crush it. Slip inside the womb, the quest never ends Safety at last, nowhere is found. Muscles, limbs can't move, paralyzed mind is stuck. Time pulsates inward, the escape is closed. Hunger scratches a throat, cigarettes suppress it, sleep turns it off, death can crush it.

Wait

The buzzer's ringing, I guess you're here. I don't wanna go,. I'll be right there. Had enough of you, you and everyone. It's really not you, I can't be with anyone. I know you're perfect- beautiful, smart, and fun. I'm never satisfied, it's never quite enough. I want everything cause I can't have it. When I get it I don't want it again. Wait, yeah wait, will you wait for me? Wait, yeah wait, wait till eternity. The buzzer's ringing, I guess you're here. I don't wanna go, I'll be right there. Had enough of you, you and everyone. It's really not you, I can't be with anyone. Wait, yeah wait, will you wait for me? Wait, yeah wait, will I wait for you? Wait, yeah wait, will you wait for me? Wait, yeah wait, wait for eternity.

Wake Up

You've got your pain and you sink in it. Your tortured soul sees no end. Your chaotic dreams blacken with soot. You lose touch you lose will. Wake up today, wake up. You look around and see very little. It's hard to see with eyes closed. I wish I could show you some bit of me, but sometimes I can't see if there's any hope. Wake up today Wake up.

You Affect

Don't you know, what you do to me? Do you think you would like it? Sometimes you forget how you affect. Do you realize what you do to me? Think of what it does before you make a move. Time can only tell what this will be. Sometimes you forget how you affect. Do you realize what you do to me? Sometimes you forget how you affect.

Slip

Can you see inside, see the eyes that grieve? Can you smell the fear, hidden inside of me? Can you turn the knob that opens up the door? Can you feel compassion without wanting more? Don't let me slip, I wanna stay awake. Don't let me fall I wanna stay on top. Don't let me slip, I want to stay alive. Don't let me slip, I don't wanna fall. Do you hide from me deep behind a mask? Do you run from me without turning back? Can you rise above without crushing much? Can you skate the edge without losing touch?

Stick Around

All your lies pass through me as empty as your words can be. All your hopes are semi-dim rooted in this life you've lived. Find some rope and tie me down, it's the only way I'll stick around. Don't hear anything I say, I'll be gone when the sun comes anyway. Try to move from this day to the next, your broken dreams part of the mess. Drowning in the hell you've made, all part of your solo parade. Find some rope and tie me down, it's the only way I'll stick around. Don't hear anything I say, I'll be gone when the sun comes anyway .

(Blowing Up) Heaven

Tracers flitting accross the T. V. screen, blowing up heaven as we blow up the sky. Never learned how to love, cause we never really tried, take out our agression without ever seeing their eyes. Voted for one guy, but the other one got in, stole the election and nobody flinched.

New World

Feeling the weight of the world pressing down on you making you numb. I can empathize with how you feel, but you can't let it get you that far down.New world, let it. New world, let it. There's too much to see in this new world, there's too much to be with each day's turn. How can you feel? So gone and so lost? Why have you let? Yourself so down. New world, let it. New world, let it.

Breathe

If Christ only knew how to get through just a tiny piece of hell everyday. If you speak don't yell at me, if you turn, quick, twist back. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy. Nothing to change 'except for the view. If words stood still, I'd stay at home. Me and the T.V. watching attentively. Remembering you lie so, so carefully. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy. So you know everything, could you please clue me in. I want to know it all, before another day falls. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy. Don't breathe easy, life ain't easy.

Enemy

Water to drown in, a bridge to jump from, needle to stick in, a bottle to drink from. Door to hide behind, a window to look through, people to push away, a hole to sink into. Eyes to stare at you, laughter to annoy you, sun burns a hole in you, voices love to nag you. Friends are to steal from, Christmas is dead time, Christ is for the weak ones, except you the only son. Why start, you can't stop, give up you can't win. Why live, you are not, quit before you can't stop. Everyone out to get you, talk is all about you. Everyone out to hurt you, blame never on you. Eyes to stare at you, laughter to annoy you, sun burns a hole in you, voices love to nag you .

Not the One

How can I wait so long for you? You're not the one and never have been. How can I turn toward you again? You can't keep me intrigued at all. Not the one, (you're) Not the one, Not the one, (you're) Not the one. Why do I think about you at all? When you don't care about yourself. How can I learn anything from you? When you don't believe evolution is true. Not the one, (you're) Not the one, Not the one, (you're) Not the one.

One Life

Sit here, alone again, white room, empty walls. Only one day to live for now, tomorrow's dream is nothing. Only one life to get through, no energy left for you. Turn over, turned in, reach out, reaching. Only one day to live for now, tomorrow's dream is nothing. Only one life to get through, no energy left for you.

Reds

I'm so happy to know you, although I can't show you. I'm so happy to believe you, though I can never trust. Sorry, so sad. Sorry, too late. I miss you everyday, still I'll never get near. I call you everyday, but never say a word. Sorry, so sad. Sorry, too late. You can rely on me to keep you calm. You can lean on me, though I might fall, I doubt you ever will.
