A crowded room A moment’s doubt A fleeting glimpse I am without All that I do Is think of you All I can prove Is that I’ve been so fucked up I’ll play it nice Cause love is not for free It’s my own device Sweet slice of dull humanity All I can do Is wait for you I wish for that But still get this Get this Getting kissed By my own indecision

I get up I go to work I’m wearing smiles A cup of coffee gives me the nerve Then I’ll get home A stepping stone I’d feel alive but I live alone And he’s acid fried She’s on a diet We're getting along not so well No one loved me quite like you No one hates me like I do I played the longing game too long Now it’s catching on I’m only sinking where I stand Now I Can feel the break It’s gonna take Not sure how much longer I can fake My every move I’m singing mute It’s right on time but overdue I’m feeling able She’s standing stable We’re getting along not so well I don’t question this existence But will the answer make a difference I played the longing game too long Now it’s catching on I’m only sinking where I stand Don’t repeat the words and haven’t-you-heard’s It’s all that there seems to be If everything is easy then why do you make it so difficult? Don’t fall back in line While calling on mind’s to speak Only for ears oblique If everything is simple then why do you make it so typical? I’m only sinking where I stand It’s only where I stand

Is this a summer song? I'm cracking up craving hard Just kick me right up to speed A manic who wants it all Is this a summer song? I'm lying not even close Just one more for the road A hobby of feeling numb Just cut me open to see that I've got no soul. Well how's it even possible? It serves me right, a hit right close to home My eyes are an act of thought (My head held high I just might get by) And every time my eyes give it all away. (I can't quite say that it's a habit yet)

What can I say Good company Is a rarity for me when I’m away And I don’t want to lose that yet We can meet in secret rooms Share a moment’s afternoon So it could feel like it did when we first met I’ll be your nurse Or the reverse Either way it’s safe to say I’ll get there first I could even be your pet Put a collar ‘round my neck It might not be ideal but it could work I could learn new tricks if we get bored If getting back to you is my only chore Then everyday would feel like it was just another Sunday morning. What can I say Good company Is a rarity for me when I’m away And I don’t want to lose that yet We can meet in secret rooms Share a moment’s afternoon So it could feel like it did when we first met I’ll be your nurse Or the reverse Either way it’s safe to say I’ll get there first I could even be your pet Put a collar ‘round my neck Cause I don’t want to lose you yet I could even be your pet

Tell me something that I want to hear Why the finest pump us all with fear Cause I know something's terribly wrong Sitting high in their angelic towers Exchanging reasons for absolute power And I hope that this doesn't last long Peasants arrested just for doing favors Corruption will cease will the arriving savior Oh when Could it be me? Ready for the weekend it goes on and on The trials of my life in song But I can't judge a thing, I'm just as phony Take another drag put all your dreams inside a paper bag and seal the seams One step two step and you're looking to score When out from the bushes comes a shining star. Why's it me, you spineless twit, is it because I'm young and self-assured like you used to be? But I'm so close, I'm only four feet from my trunk All the time that I got left is just a month. But they'll take you away, they'll take you away Tonight's been cut off short by a pig in drag.

Happy Medium (free) 03:44
Started with an earnest escape The ignition was running I was yearning for change I’ve gotten sick on this place Choked on these stale remains Nothing seems permanent So I could never understand what it was you meant When you said things would always be this way And I had no say If I could find a happy medium I’d have a hint at what I should be Half drunk on ideals done The type of morals wasted on the young Always too wasted to comply Even though we all tried Started with an honest mistake I was hung over on what my stomach could take You were already hanging up on it You were ready to quit Nothing seems relevant So I could never understand what it was you meant When you said it was these moments that could count And mine just wouldn’t amount If I could find a happy medium I’d have a hint at what I should be Half drunk on ideals done The type of morals wasted on the young Always too wasted to comply Even though we all tried But there was never anybody to blame In the end it was always very easy to tame We’re all just living for today Though you may think it a shame Cause I was yearning for change I was yearning for change I was yearning for change
