Goodbye,
The Future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far...

Tonight,
Your faith has come down
To money & a TV
Psychics,
Who've never been to Mars (far)
And Nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
Loneliness
That everyone

Goodnight,
The truth has come out
That everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet God
Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare

Hey,
Is anybody home
Is anybody wasting tears on
Loneliness
That everyone becomes
Is anybody lone
Has anybody painted fear
On bedroom walls that save us from the day
Is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
Loneliness
That everyone becomes
When they're not alright

Hey,
Is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
Loneliness
That everyone becomes
Is anybody lone
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that
Everyone becomes
Becomes becomes becomes becomes becomes becomes
The loneliness that
Everyone becomes
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

  • many times have you been pushed around
    Is anybody there
    Does anybody care
    How many times have your friends let you down
    Is anybody there
    Did anybody stare

    And how many times have your friends let you down
    Just open up your heart
    Just open up your mind
    And how many times has your faith slipped away
    Is anybody safe
    Does anybody pray

    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we're alive
    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we'll survive

    How many days have you just slept away
    Is everybody high
    Is everyone afraid
    How many times have you wished you were strong
    Have they ever seen your heart
    Have they ever seen your pain

    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we're alive
    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we'll survive

    She gets high,
    She gets lost,
    She gets drowned,
    By the cost,
    Twice a day,
    Every week,
    And all her life

    She gets high,
    She gets lost,
    She gets drowned,
    By the cost,
    Twice a day,
    Every week,
    And all her life

    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we're alive
    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we'll survive

    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we're alive
    Life is waiting for you
    It's all messed up but we'll survive
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

  • Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
    Spends his time alone in the basement
    With Lennon and Cobain A guitar and a stereo

    while he wishes he could escape this
    but it all seems so contagious
    Not to be yourself and faceless
    In a song that has no soul

    I remember feeling low
    I remember losing hope
    And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    Tina's losing faith in what she knows
    Hates her music hates all of her clothes
    Thinks of surgery and a new nose
    Every calorie is a war

    And while she wishes she was a dancer
    And that she’d never heard of cancer
    She wishes God would give her some answers
    And make her feel beautiful

    I remember feeling low
    I remember losing hope
    I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    One day, you’ll have to let it go
    You’ll have to let it go
    No...
    One day, you’ll stand up on your own
    You’ll stand up on your own

    Remember losing hope
    Remember feeling low
    Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    We are, we are all innocent
    We are all innocent
    We are, we are...

    We are (one day), we are all innocent
    We are all innocent (you’ll have to let it go)
    We are, we are (you’ll have to let it go, no..)

    We are (one day), we are all innocent
    We are, we are (you’ll stand up on your own)
    We are, we are all innocent (you’ll stand up on your own..)

    We are, we are all innocent

  • Throw away the radio,
    suitcase
    keeps you awake
    Hide the telephone,
    the telephone
    telephone in case,
    you realize that,
    sometimes,
    you're just not okay.
    You level off, you level off, you level off
    And it's not alright now.
    You need to understand,
    there's nothing strange about this.
    You need to know your friends.
    you need to know that
    I'll be waving my hand,
    watching you drown,
    watching you scream.
    quiet or loud.

    And maybe you should sleep.
    And maybe you just need...
    a friend.
    As clumsy as you've been,
    there's no one laughing.
    You will be safe in here.
    You will be safe in here.

    Throw away this very old...
    shoelace that tripped you again.
    Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off,
    it's only skin now.
    You need to understand
    there's nothing fake about this.
    You need to let me in.
    Watching you and...
    I'll be waving my hand,
    watching you drown,
    watching you scream.
    no one's around.

    And maybe you should sleep.
    And maybe you just need...
    a friend.
    As clumsy as you've been,
    there's no one laughing.
    You will be safe in here.
    You will be safe in here.

    I'll be waving my hand,
    watching you drown,

  • I walked around my good intentions
    and found that there were none
    I blame my father for the wasted years
    we hardly talked
    I never thought I would forget this hate
    then a phone call made me realize
    I'm wrong

    If I don't make it known that
    I've loved you all along
    just like the sunny days that
    we ignore because
    we're all dumb & jaded
    and I hope to God I figure out
    what's wrong

    I walked around my room
    not thinking
    just sinking in this box
    I blame myself for being too much
    like somebody else
    I never thought I would just
    bend this way
    then a phone call made me realize
    I'm wrong

    If I don't make it known that
    I've loved you all along
    just like the sunny days that
    we ignore because
    we're all dumb & jaded
    and I hope to God I figure out
    what's wrong

    and I hope to God I figure out what's wrong x2

  • There’s nothing you can say
    Nothing you can do
    There’s nothing in between
    You know the truth

    Nothing left to face
    There’s nothing left to lose
    Nothing takes your place

    When they say
    You’re not that strong
    You’re not that weak
    It's not your fault
    And when you climb up to your hill
    Up to your place
    I hope you’re well

    There’s nothing left to prove
    There's nothing I won’t do
    There’s nothing like the pain
    I feel for you

    Nothing left to hide
    Nothing left to fear
    I am always here

    When they say
    You’re not that strong
    You’re not that weak
    It's not your fault
    And when you climb up to your hill
    Up to your place
    I hope you’re well

    What you want
    What you lost
    What you had
    What is gone is over

    What you got
    What you love
    What you need
    What you have is real

    It's not enough
    It’s not enough
    It’s not enough
    It’s not enough, I'm sorry

    It’s not enough
    It’s not enough
    It’s not enough
    It’s not enough...

    When they say
    You’re not that strong
    You’re not that weak
    It's not your fault

  • last time i talked to you
    you were lonely and out of place
    you were looking down on me
    lost out in space
    laid underneath the stars
    strung out and feeling brave
    watch the red-orange glow
    watch you float away

    down here in the atmosphere
    garbage and city lights
    gotta save your tired soul
    gotta save our lives
    turn on the radio
    to find you on satellite
    waiting for the sky to fall
    waiting for a sign

    and all we are
    is oh so far

    you're falling back to me
    the star that i can't see
    but i know your out there
    somewhere out there
    you're falling out of reach
    defying gravity
    but i know you're out there
    somewhere out there

    hope you remember me
    when you're homesick and need a change
    i miss your purple hair
    i miss the way you taste
    i know you're come back some day
    on a bed of nails i wait
    i pray that you don't burn out
    or fade away

    and all we are
    is oh so far

    you're falling back to me
    the star that i can't see
    but i know your out there
    somewhere out there
    you're falling out of reach
    defying gravity
    but i know you're out there
    somewhere out there

    you're falling back to me
    the star that i can't see

    you're falling out of reach

  • seems like about every yearish I flip through my old disks, and these guys always end up in the stereo for a significant amount of time....Every time.

    they really are amazing...
    well...I have to include this one....about a young girl they met in a hospital that had a brain tumor...amazing.



    I don't want to understand,
    this horror
    There's a weight in your eyes that,
    I can't admit
    Everybody ends up here,
    in bottles
    But the name tags the last thing that you wanted
    As the world explodes,
    we fall out of it
    And we can't let go because this
    will not go away
    There's a house built out in space...

    I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
    But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
    And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
    But I can be your... be your...

    Someone help us understand,
    who ordered
    This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
    I don't want to hear who walked on water
    Because the hallways are empty,
    clocks tick

    As the world implodes,
    we fall into it
    And we can't go home because,
    this will not go away
    There's a house built out in space...

    I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
    But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
    And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
    It's a long long getaway
    It's a long long getaway
    Make it home again
    Make it home again
    It's a long long getaway
    It's a long long getaway

    I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
    But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
    I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
    But I can be your... be your...
    I'm here
    I can be your... be your...
    I'm here
    It's a long long getaway
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

  • Me and Mrs Jones, we got a thing going on
    We both know that it's wrong
    But it's much too strong to let it cool down now

    We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe
    Six-thirty I know she'll be there
    Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
    While the jukebox plays our favorite song

    Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
    Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
    We both know that it's wrong
    But it's much too strong to let it cool down now

    We gotta be extra careful
    That we don't build our hopes too high
    Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I
    Me, me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones

    Well, it's time for us to be leaving
    Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
    Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
    But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time
    Me and Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.
