STACKED ACTORS
Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it,
Can you make it look like we want
Hey hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah but what do you do
When you're just another aging drag queen
BREAKOUT
You make me dizzy running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend,
Better get out
You know you make me break out
I don't want to look like that
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take
I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again.
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off watching me crawl away
Try to get out
LEARN TO FLY
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying ( trying)
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright..
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own
GIMME STITCHES
I can be your right of way
So we can get out of here
I'll always be the one who runs from everyone
Cause everyone's just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I'm making you volunteer
Another one has come and gone
They crawl along, make them disappear
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Take another stab at me, I promise in time I'll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on high street
There's nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along, wasting all these years
How can you go on when you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never
Before I get my blood on you
GENERATOR
Lately I'm getting better
Wish I could stay sick with you
But there's too many egos left to bruise
Call it sin, you can call it whatever,
Eating deep inside of you
Well if it were me it's all I'd ever do
Steal me now and forever
I'll steal something good for you
The criminal in me is no one new
Till you find something better
When there's nothing left to use
And everything starts going down on you
I'm the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it's on
Yeah can't you hear my motored heart
You're the one that started it
Send me out on a tether
Swing it round I'll spin your noose
You let it down
I'll hang around with you, till you find someone better
When there's no one left to use, and everyone keeps going down
AURORA
You believe there's something else
To relieve your emptiness
And you dream about yourself
And you bleed and breathe the air
And it's on and on
I just kinda died for you
You just kinda stared at me
We will always have the chance
We can do this one more time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
All this time
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we'll turn and come back down
You believe there's somewhere else
Where it's easier than this
And you see outside yourself
And you buy the hole you'll fill
And it's on and on
On and on aurora wait for everyone
Wait till the last one's done
LIVE-IN SKIN
Take your payroll, and your lottery,
There's a place I know,
There's a robbery, and I swear I'll never tell
If you swear you'll never tell, and
We'll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
Head on with my hate, into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I'm amounted just the same old glitter story
From the sea floor, metamorphosis
And I can't change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that's new
I'm a livid skin that's new
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside,
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again, I'm amounted
NEXT YEAR
I'm in the sky tonight,
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now,
Living with our heads underground
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year
Say good-bye
HEADWIRES
Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
Tell them all hell
The sun is on
Arlandria, headwire
AIN'T IT THE LIFE
Dear Haley, can you save me from the borrowed cloud I'm on
All you gotta do is try,
Pray you're just getting by
Hey wait I thought you'd made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off
Tell me how'd you get so tired
Faded down to the wire
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time, so very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say we're gone
And haunt the ground we're from
Everything's so open wide
Here within the divide
Aint it the life, got no crime, just sail on by
M.I.A.
Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down
Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town,
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now.
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hit's the ground, I'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
So you don't find me I'm going mia
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA
I can find relief I'm going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Better than playing dumb

i've never been so scared
doll me up in my bad luck
i'll meet you there
i wish i never had taken this dare
i wasn't quite prepared
doll me up in my bad luck
doll me up in my bad luck
i'll meet you there
MONKEY WRENCH
what have we done with innocence
it disappeard with time it never made much sense
adolecent residence
wasting another night on planning my revenge
one in Ten
don't want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
i'd rather leave than suffer this
i'll never be your monkey wrench
all this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends?
now and then I'll try to bend
under pressure wind up snapping in the end
one in ten
don't want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
temper
one last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than
I could fit into my head I still remember
every single word you said and all the
shit that somehow came along with it
still there's one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I'm free
don't want to be your monkey wrench
one more indescent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
don't want to be your monkey wrench
HEY, JOHNNY PARK!
come and I'll take you under
this beautiful bruises colors
everything fades in time its ture
wish that I had another
stab at the undercover
was it a change in mind for you
It's impossible I can't ley it out
you'll never know am I selling you out
sit and I watch your every move
your eyes still remind me of angels that hover above eyes
that can change from blind to blue
now that I've found my reward
I'd throuw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you
MY POOR BRAIN
real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
rhat's where our heads are
my head an your heart
this is a blackout
don't let it go to waste
this is a blackout
I want to detonate
when you are so far
i'm falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam my radar
sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
between the handshake and the fuck
you've got me on guard
ive got my head and your heart
the same in the stars
sometimes I wish that I could change
I can save you from My Poor Brain
ok
WIND UP
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you been dealt
spare me confession it's confession you see
maybe I'll fall behind but I don't Mind Because I'll catch up
I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
will I be happy on the back of the shelf
will you be happy when were sharing a cell
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you'll realize that I get shy and choke up
what is wrong with this animal I'm terrible
I hope you neer see me windup
farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I'll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet take the beating until
I take it all back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
UP IN ARMS
the Rain is here, And you my dear
are still my friend
It's true the two of us are back
as one again
I was the one who left you
always coming back I could not forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
together now, I don't know how
this love could end
my lonely heart falls apart
for you to mend
I was the one who left you
always coming back I could not forget you girl
now I am up in arms again
MY HERO
too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence, race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he's ordinary
don't the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence, race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he's ordinary
kudos my hero leaving all the best
you know my hero, the one that's on
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he's ordinary
SEE YOU
these notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
how good it is to see you
see you.
these steps i take dont get me anywhere
I'm gettin further from myself
one thing is always true
how good it is to see you
see you.
ENOUGH SPACE
always waiting for something
maybe fly a machine
that's when I found Lilly
the best I've ever seen
only wanted to steal it
trying to make her my own
people line up to see her
but it there never seems to be enough space
space
FEBRUARY STARS
hangin' on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hangin' on
even though
I watched you come and go
how was I to know
you'd steal the show
one day I'll have enough to gamble
i'll wait to hear your final call
bet it all
hangin' on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hangin' on
even though
I pass this time alone
somewhere so unknown it heals the soul
you ask for walls
I'll build them higher
we'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much to tall
and I fall
february stars
floating in the dark
temporary stars
february stars
EVERLONG
hello
I've waited here for you
everlong
tonight
I throw myself into
and out of the red, out of her head she sang
come down
and waste away with me
down with me
slow how
you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if every thing could ever be this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you gotta promise not to stop when I say when
breathe out
so I can breathe you in
hold you in
and now
I know you've always been
out of your head, out of my head I sang
WALKING AFTER YOU
tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clowns
dreaming aloud
things do just won't do without you matter of fact
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
if youd accept surrender give up some more
would you adore
I could not be without you matter of fact
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
now the heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back
I cannot be without you matter of fact
I'm on your back
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
if you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
if you walk out right on me
I'm walking after you
now the heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back
NEW WAY HOME
have you found your way around the down and out?
I know, it must seem long, so wrong
I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
head down, always moving on and on and on
I never heard this one and
another early morning takes me, wakes me into
if you could manage me, I'll try to manage you
but lately, it's all I ever do
I felt like this on my way home, I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome, I'm not scared
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I'm sure these things must bore you
I can(t) find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me
when I try to run away
I felt like this on my way home, I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome, I'm not scared

THIS IS A CALL
visiting is pretty
visiting is good
seems that all they ever wanted was a brother
this can be a secret
we can keep it good
even all the ever wanting had a problem
this is a call to all my
past resignations
it's been too long
fingernails are pretty
fingernails are good
seems that all they ever wanted was a marking
them balloons are pretty big
and say they should
ever fall to ground
call the magic marker
this is a call to all my
past resignations
this is a call to all
this is a call to all my
past resignations
it's been too long
minicyn is pretty
minicyn is good
seems that all the cysts and mollusks tend to barter
ritalin is easy
ritalin is good
even all the ones
who watered down the daughter
I'LL STICK AROUND
I thought I knew all it took to bother you
every word I said was true that you'll see
how could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity
I still refuse all the methods you've abused
it's all right if you're confused let me be
I've been around all the pawns
you've gagged and bound
they'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free
I've taken all and I've endured
one day it all will fade
I'm sure
I don't owe you anything
I had no other hand in your ever desperate plan
it returns and when it lands words are due
I should've known we were better off alone
I looked in and I was shown
you were too
I've taken all and I've endured
one day it all will fade
I'm sure
I don't owe you anything
I'll stick around and learn
from all that came from it
BIG ME
when I talk about it
it carries on
reasons only knew
when I talk about it
aries or treasons
all renew
big me to talk about it
I could stand to prove
if we can get around it
I know that it's true
when I talked about it
carried on
reasons only knew
but it's you I fell into
(repeat)
well I talked about it
put it on
never was it true
but it's you I fell into
ALONE+EASY TARGET
they knew all along
they're not dumb, they were so wrong
she's not always fun
hate it now, call when I'm done
pieces fell in place
puzzles suck, laugh in my face
turn and swing the pace
I'll give this, keep the good waist
head is on
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
metronome
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
crazy tv dreams might be true
not what it seems.
food and cavitys, chewing words
tear at the seams
he don't feel so good, don't feel bad
not that he should
I don't feel so good, don't feel bad
not that i should
did you ever listen?
get out.
GOOD GRIEF
since I'm putting down all of the true things around, but I like it
I handed down the crown, given the jewels and the answers of may
the thought of being ousted comes and goes
when I think about it the wind blows
hate it
run me out of town, somewhere a move might intended a gown at
pissed at all the bowels, always the blues and a delicate smile
missed all of the sideways, gull and noun
chills and petty band-aids, wrapped around
I hate it
good grief
FLOATY
he floats
floats away
on the ground
he comes back down
she floats
floats away
on the ground
she comes back down
they float
float away
on the ground
they come back down
we float
float away
on the ground
we come back down
that's not as big as
what's flown around here
WEENIE BEENIE
I'm molasses hung in rent
read a sponsor one shot no post-show
tear it off, but not a lot, it's not enough to debate
as if you blame real and stagnate
big shit no shit
tear it off, but not a lot, only so much you can take
some try that hit beast and mud lead
big shit no shit
tear it off, but not a lot, only so much you can take
tear it off, but not a lot, it's not enough to debate
big shit no duh
right?
one shot nothing
OH, GEORGE
the train that I got onto up and left that town
threw it up as it went down
strange enough it left me rude and turned around
watched as they all took their vows
fools were drawing trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway
phase it out until the older ones return
have a seat and watch it burn
trace around the corner this is what I've learned
always waited for my turn
FOR ALL THE COWS
I'm called a cow
I'm not about
to blow it now
for all the cows
it's funny how money allows all to browse
and be endowed
this wish is true it falls into peaces new
the cow is you
my kind has all run out, as if kinds could blend
some time if time allows, everthing worn in
like it's a friend
I said you're all a painted doll and it caused
the walls to fall
how far is he? impatiently
that's as far as far can be
X-STATIC
leading everything along
never far from being wrong
nevermind these things at all
it's nothing
couldn't find a way to you
seems that's all I ever do
turning up in black and blue
rewarded
all the static we all left
wait until the time has come
figure that's where time comes from
leaving all my senses numb
is heaven
lifted up the fay to seen
anything could never be
anything but play to me
in order
take it back for them to keep
fallen into something deep
not that I had made that leap
annointed
where have all the wishes gone
now that all of that is done
wish I would've felt I've won
for once
WATTERSHED
I stick it to the mailman
I'm pinned against a pot plant
I'm sick of all the sun-tan
oily with the ray-ban
take that to the bank and call it a check
masked without a weapon
I'm skinny as a spit pan
dealing with the shit plan
playing with my bad hand
just another rock band
take that to the man
and call it a check
trapped within a contract
hey there boy while you were catching the black widow
the rest of us were watching melrose
I wanna swin in the wattershed
I wanna listen to the flowerhead
I lost a gallon and still I bled
I keep on thinking i get ahead
pissed at all the disc jam
pissed about the 5-ham
pissed about the green state
I miss it and I can't wait
hey man can't you tell it's still a problem?
see you at the devil's tower
I wanna swin in the wattershed
I wanna listen to the flowerhead
I lost a gallon and still I bled
I keep on thinking i get ahead
pissed at all the disc jam
pissed about the 5-ham
pissed about the green state
I miss it and I can't wait
EXHAUSTED
I'm not around that much
running exhausted and lost
if it could be undone
will it have costed?
It's taught and lost
blowing away we stray, wilted
insuited, at fault
what if the day had stayed in bed
these baubles we've brought
at fault
after the bliss has long ended
this caution this fault
give me a breeze that's long winded
accosted adult arrested
