Strangers
lurking in the shadows
dont fight
dont you pick your battles?
oh go and leave it out to dry
and you hang it out to burn
just dont leave me to die
There is a neighbour, yeah
watch him on the screen
lives out of garbage bags
complains that nothing is clean
I'm not a criminal
I just extraordinarily
steal all of your pride, man
give it to me
you'd better give it to me
but oh, you leave it all in turn
strangest sound i ever heard
and at the end of the line
you always get what you deserve
oh at the end of the line
you know youre always on your knees
and there's no spirit in the sky
so dont leave me out to die

Misery (In The Key of A)

lover doesnt speak a word
lays inside a velvet hearse
brother has to drink again
his life is killing him
daddy said he loves his son
his son dont care for anyone
an old apartment falling apart
flowers placed upon the grave
things get hard during the day
and the telethon helps waste away
but call me in the morning
with the rats outside the church
you were breathing in reverse
always come
its getting worse
i will not pack a heavy load
for when i finally hit the road
i would ask the stars but then again
will they be at the end?
nothing seems to work today
my fridge will not refridgerate
and even if there was a door
my babys gone forevermore
oh and waiting
i really hate it
used to be patient
why now then am i complaining
lover doesnt speak a word
lays inside a velvet hearse
brother had to drink again
his life is killing him
daddy said he loves his son
his son dont care for anyone
oh and waiting
i cant take it
used to be patient
why now then am i complaining

I think the beast is finally asleep
parks in the city in the dawn, babe
they all remind me
I gotta kill the beast
so lets kill the beast
do you really think I dont know?
do i ever think that i dont know?
yup
we could stay up late
well, what else should i say?
we sing and dance to the old love songs
how i wish that i could write one for you, my love
but the neighbours will surely get pissed off
Matty says "keep stompin, they should just
get out from under us!"
I dont know
just pile it on
and wish me luck
now your teacher knows you better
your teacher knows you better
your teacher knows you better now

Wide Eyes

the color of this day
is so painfully grey
its so bad that i think i might just stay inside
and sleep that pain away
i always say it's not the same
and i feel like a ghost
to all of the people who i seem to want to notice me the most
i say i think i can
i think im not, but i know
that all i really am is alone
on a bus headed south
i opened the window and tried to set free all of my doubt
but i saw the gulls rise up so still
on the wind against the clouds
i widened my eyes
and opened my mouth
i always try to speak my mind
but nonsense comes out
i could drive straight through the wrongs,
south providence,
past newport
down to long island
and still not see the rights
because its city names,
the borders drawn
and all this shit that i just cannot seem to understand
i will try
but when the bats begin to fly,
you are the only hope I'll find
i dont know why i drink
when im so god damned terrified of dying
and im sick of staying up so late
all i do is think
my mouth is dry
my body is weak
there is a deep scratch across the desk on which i write
so each time i try to put things down
my pen gets caught inside
so im sorry if this sounds a bit messed up
a jagged line was right in my way
im wastin my time

Watchdogs

light cant come inside
so why do i leave the door cracked overnight?
its coffee and smoke til noon
a conversation that will bandage up all of my wounds
and im cold,
but its the northeastern coast
so how after nineteen years did i forget to put on my coat?!
well its all a game
i should not get so carried away
i should let all of these strangers insult me and laugh in my face
while somewhere across the ocean
theres a deafening loud explosion
we will see
we will read
we will see
how many casualties on a list in the news this week
but id be so ashamed to complain
after all i was Born In The USA
so i carry on
carry on
you cant fool the watchdog
carry on
you cant fool the watchdogs

The Cake

when you fight
make sure
you fight right
remember
that nobody take the cake
not that cake
that you just baked
when you lie
yes, when you lie
oh wait, nevermind
you should never have to lie
when you really think about it
put the phrase in quotation
marks
and then
speak free
as if
the thought isnt
already dead

It is your voice singing to me in my head
I think of it now when I smoke a cigarette
enough
Fully grown, you are the flower in the rough
I only want the time to step outside
reach for my thoughts
The world is ugly
I think you're beautiful
It's the truth, and I have lied
I can feel my body
breaking down then suddenly reforming
where it started
and I turn into a magnet
we are closer
When we die, my little tulip
we'll see what happens
This comes with no warning
Little girl, I saw the sunlight this morning
Closed my eyes
Layed back down
Got back up
Now I am certain that I'm alive
I've no worries, my drumming heart beats in double-time

Don't Get Yr Hopes Up

in the valley theres a dark green ghost
that comes out just when i come close
we left the house
locked the doors
came right back the day before
on a ride past where the frog will jump
the lily pads and bugs in my mouth
take a notebook out
then write down
in the summertime we gotta get back out again
sounds fuckin great
