Afternoon
03:14
|

Woke up in the afternoon
Blame it on last night’s full moon
It’s all a blur, it’s all a haze
Why does this keep happening?
I’m all mixed up in my mind
One of these days, I’m gonna get it right
Griggs is gone and so is Ann
Bums me out like nothing else can
Seems like only yesterday
She was strumming songs for me
I’m, well, I’m still alive
Maybe one of these days, I’m gonna get it right
Get it right
I’m running out of answers
I’m running out of time
I’m running out of reasons
Here to justify this life
Why do I keep lying
To myself like I can change?
Entertaining notions
Reinvention, there’s no way
Enough of all this ‘sulk city’
I’ll turn it around, just wait and see
Concrete steps to attainable goals
Like starting a band to tour the world
I may need a little more time
But one of these days, man, I’m gonna get it right

Enemy
03:20
|
|||
You gotta get out of your head
You gotta believe what I said
Those voices that whisper away
Are just fears that will stand in your way
I swear I’m not your enemy
I swear it’s not meant to be
I swear I’m not your enemy
I swear I can set you free
They trained you that theirs was the truth
All these years they’ve been scheming on you
With their tricks and their ploys and their plots
Now it’s time to unlearn what they’ve taught
I swear I’m not your enemy
I swear it’s not meant to be
I swear I’m not your enemy
I swear I can set you free

Thinking
03:21
|
|||
My big mouth
Once again
Rattled on
To no end
Felt I should
Say some things
For the sake
Of honesty
And now I’m sitting here all alone
Yeah, what was I thinking?
I should have never ever told you so
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is there anyway to take it back?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Don’t know why I said what I said
Yeah, what was I thinking?
Little fears
Little doubts
They creep in
They sneak out
Must I say
Everything
That I feel
Bothers me?
And now I’m sitting here all alone
Yeah, what was I thinking?
I should have never ever told you so
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is there anyway to take it back?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Don’t know why I said what I said
Yeah, what was I thinking?
I’m not good
With these things
How it sounds
I don’t mean
And now I’m sitting here all alone
Yeah, what was I thinking?
I should have never ever told you so
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is there anyway to get you back?
Oh, what the fuck was I thinking?
Don’t know why I said what I said
Yeah, what was I thinking?

Sorrow
02:31
|
|||
Quit your constant crying man
‘Cause I don’t want to hear it
All you do is bitch and moan
All you do is talk your shit
On and on, how you’ve been screwed
How the world’s unfair to you
Sorrow
It’s all you know
Well, it sucks to be you
And it sucks to be me
And isn’t this life
Such misery?
Oh, I really want to hear
Tell me more about your fears
The terrible things they do
The suffering that you’ve been through
It’s horrible, unspeakable
Why not dwell, obsess some more?
Sorrow
It’s all you know
Well, it sucks to be you
And it sucks to be me
And isn’t this life
Such misery?
Sorrow
By the truckload
Well, it sucks to be you
And it sucks to be me
And isn’t this life
Such misery?
Sorrow’s your middle name
Sorrow’s your middle name
Sorrow’s your middle name
Sorrow, sorrow
Sorrow
It’s all you know
Well, it sucks to be you
And it sucks to be me
And isn’t this life
Such misery?

Up at Night
03:45
|
|||
What keeps you up at night?
Your friends are telling me things ain’t right
Perhaps a past that you can’t undo…
All the things you said you’d never do?
I don’t mean to judge or criticize
After all, you’re still a friend of mine
But my experience seems to show
It’s always something that we’ve lost or owe
Now that you’re on your own
Do you feel all alone?
Or maybe not at all
It’s hard to know, you never call
Sometimes I find myself
Going back, to your house
The day you told me that
Your love for me would never last
How could you say that?
How could you say that?
What keeps you up at night?
Your friends are telling me things ain’t right
Perhaps a past that you can’t undo…
All the things you said you’d never do?
Now that you’re on your own
Do you feel all alone?
Or maybe not at all
It’s hard to know, you never call
Sometimes I find myself
Going back, to your house
The day you told me that
Your love for me would never last
How could you say that?
How could you say that?
What keeps you up at night, up at night?
What keeps you up at night?
What keeps you up at night, up at night?
What keeps you up at night?

Good Enough
02:45
|

Hitch a ride
Down the street
Name a place
For us to meet
I told you, I told you, I told you
All I want is to hold you
Ditch a class
Chemistry
Now combine
You and me
I told you, I told you, I told you
All I want is to hold you
Where you want to be
Is where I want to be
Being there with you
Is good enough for me
Where you want to be
Is where I want to be
Lying around the house
Or swinging from a tree
I told you, I told you, I told you
All I want is to hold you
Say goodnight
Act discreet
Then sneak out
So we can meet
Where you want to be
Is where I want to be
Being there with you
Is good enough for me
Where you want to be
Is where I want to be
Lying around the house
Or swinging from a tree
I told you, I told you, I told you
All I want is to hold you

Children
03:30
|
|||
Why do I get
The feeling we’re doomed
That it’s a forgone
Conclusion we’re screwed
I guess it’s simple
Simple to see
Where there’s clowns
The children will be
And the one child
And the one child says
To the other child
Is this ever gonna end?
And the other child
And the other child says, says, says, says
To the one child
I’m not the one who started this
Oh were you thinking
Thinking the same?
It’s always children
Who like to complain
And the one child
And the one child says
To the other child
Is this ever gonna end?
And the other child
And the other child says, says, says, says
To the one child
I’m not the one who started this
It’s not fair oh no!
It’s not my fault oh no!
Round and round you go
Down the drain you go

Terrible Lie
02:49
|
|||
It could happen to you
Like it happened to me
I didn’t plan this, you know
I didn’t intend this to be
My intentions were good
And my conscience was clean
But what a slippery slope
To an indefensible thing
We can’t stop
But we can’t go on
Living like this
We are caught in a terrible lie
It’s so wrong
And selfish
Living like this
We are caught in a terrible lie
If it could happen to me
Then it could happen to you
One thing it leads to the next
By then you’re short on the truth
We can’t stop
But we can’t go on
Living like this
We are caught in a terrible lie
It’s so wrong
Dishonest
Living like this
We are caught in a terrible lie

Irony
03:51
|
|||
I was on the bridge
And I was starring at the water below
I was holding on
But I was ready to let go
I know, you feel it too
The pull, it speaks to you
She was on the shore
And she was starring from the water below
I could hear her voice
And I could hear her shouting ‘no’
I know, you feel it too
The pull, it comes for you
I was on a trip
I was on a trip, you know
And the irony is that
There’s no place to go
I was on a trip
I was on a trip, you know
And the irony is that
There’s no place like home
I was on the bridge
And I was starring at the water below
Schizophrenic, dialectic
Where did my memories go?
I know, you feel it too
The pull, it comes for you
I was on a trip
I was on a trip, you know
And the irony is that
There’s no place to go
I was on a trip
I was on a trip, you know
And the irony is that
There’s no place like home

Over and Over
02:46
|
|||
I don’t want to waste my life
On something that will never be
‘Cause you don’t want to take the time
To give me what you know I need
Over and over and over
Again and again, going nowhere
Over and over and over
Again and again, nowhere closer
I don’t want to waste my life
On someone that will never change
‘Cause you have got it in your mind
The problems will just go away
Over and over and over
Again and again, going nowhere
Over and over and over
Again and again, nowhere closer
So in denial
To reconcile
Refuse to see
Another means
I don’t want to waste my life
On something that will never be
‘Cause you don’t want to take the time
To give me what you know I need
Over and over and over
Again and again, going nowhere
Over and over and over
Again and again, nowhere closer
So in denial
To reconcile
Refuse to see
Another means
