Goodbye Forever
Take your wings outside. You can't fly in
here. Besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my angel.
You're an angel, you little devil. As for me I'll stay inside.
I'll be just fine and I'll watch from the window. Cannot categorize
the nature of this sickness. A miracle that you're alive. Stuck
to the roof of my mouth with a staple. Remember last April when we
saw U.S. maple? Somehow the singer showed the fireside exactly how
I feel. And we say goodbye and go underground. Or up towards
the sky. Up in smoke, burnt down to size. At least we're still
friends. At least we're still alive. Take your wings outside.
No use for them in here. Bad luck to open inside. Work like
umbrellas, like a broken mirror. It's getting clearer. The
end is closer than ever before. And you'll want nothing more when
your head hits the floor, and you're lost in the darkness. And we
say goodbye and go underground. Or up towards the sky. Up in
smoke, burnt down to size. At least we're still friends. At
least we're still alive. And we say goodbye and go underground.
Or up towards the sky. Up in smoke, burnt down to size. At
least we're still friends. At least we're still alive.
This Is Getting Over You
Today I woke up, younger than I've been in years.
Not concerned with what's outside and peers, I don't have any. No
one is my equal, because I'm the king of rain. Controlling with my
mood swings, threw a thunderstorm your way... way. Drowning girls
is a game I play. Today I woke up, more awake than I have felt in
years. Not concerned with anything, no tears. I'm done with
that shit. No one is your equal, because you're the queen of pain.
Controlling with my moods. I'm staring at my shoes while running
away... away. Drowning myself is a game I play. Drown myself
away. Drown myself away. Away (Away), away, away. Away
(Away), away, away. Goodbye. And this is getting over you.
And this is getting over you. And this is getting over you.
And this is getting over you. And this is getting over you (I'm not
tired of...). And this is getting over you (getting over you).
And this is getting over you, you, you (I'm not tired of getting over you,
whoa). And this is getting over you (...being alone). And this
is getting over you (I'm not tired of...). And this is getting over
you (being alone). And this is getting over you, you, you (I'm not
tired of being alone). And this is getting over you (...being alone).
And this is getting over you.
Bleeder
You came to me like a dream, the kind that always
leaves. Just as the best part starts, it ends so abruptly.
And leaves you stunned and naked in your bedroom all alone. It's
kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a
telephone. And you broke me like the cigarette that I busted on the
day I quit. But now that I've been drinking, I'm outta smokes and
I wish that I had it. Woke up to my daily headache and the realization
that you are gone. Oh my sweet darling happiness you've been away
from me all along. One thing that I've never said, "I'm truly happy
in my heart and in my head." A lonely liver suspended in liquid.

that I've never said, "I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head."
A lonely liver suspended in liquid. It's one thing that I never did
was smile. Missing a case, lacking a lid. My heart bleeds for
what you never did... you never did. For what you never did... never
did. For what you never did... never did... never did... never did...
you never did... you never did. It's one thing that I've never said,
"I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head." A lonely liver suspended

now.
I Lied My Face Off
Well, it's not fair. It's not even close.
You tied me down, where I'm forced to watch as you poke holes in every
part of me containing something secretly. Something sacred to me.
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay. It's never fine
when you go away. These cuts run deep. These scars are permanent
and always on display. This makes things difficult for me.
Well, it's not fair. It's not even close. You fed me the sun.
Burned me up inside and watched me choke on everything we did. On
everything we lived. Let's see if I can live again. I lied
my face off when I said that I would be okay. It's never fine when
you go away. These cuts run deep. These scars are permanent
and always on display. This makes things difficult for me.
Head like an empty, sterile room. Somehow I made a mess. Like
watching newborn babies crack from work related stress. Head like
an empty, sterile room. Somehow I made a mess. Like watching
newborn babies crack from work related stress. I'm bad luck, can't
fuck. Got no reflection today. Maybe I'll stay down next time
I get hit by a train. By a train. I lied my face off when I
said that I would be okay. It's never fine when you go away.
My Friend Peter
I don't care who you've been sleeping with these
days. You're outta my hair. It's growing just above my smiling
face that I wear. Every night I drink myself to sleep. Not
thinking about you. Not thinking about anything at all. I don't
care who you've been dining with these days. It's more than fair.
Much rather be drinking anyways with my friend Peter, who lives so fucking
far away. Yet not as far as you, even though you live right down
my fucking street. And I'm tired of sleeping with myself. I'm
tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help. I'm tired of lying
about not thinking of you. Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what
to do. I don't care who you've been kissing on these days.
It's out of my hands and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste.
I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace. And then I'll
drink 23 more to wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face. I'm
tired of sleeping with myself. I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs
no longer help. I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you.
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do.
Snake Oil Tanker
This time you've dug yourself an anchor too heavy
to move ahead with. Resembling a faker, charming snake oil tankers.
Don't let them strike you down. I know that you wish I was dead.
I know cause you told me last weekend. And Christmas has never felt
colder. I've never felt colder. This time you've dug yourself
an anchor too heavy to move ahead with. Resembling a faker, charming
snake oil tankers. Don't let them strike you down. I know that
you wish I was dead. I know cause you told me last weekend.
And Christmas has never felt colder. I haven't felt colder since.
Southern Rock
I can't believe my hearts still pounding.
Hard to believe how close I came. And meanwhile heavens falling.
The fallen angels flown away. And that'll be me someday. With
stolen wings, make evil ways. Straight south with the keys to the
pearly gates. Hard to believe my heart stopped pounding. I
can't believe I played this game. My worst nightmares became real.
I got so scared that I forgot my name. And that'll be me someday.
With stolen wings and evil ways. Straight south with the keys to
the pearly gates.
Cooking Wine
Sorry I'm late. I was out spoiling my liver.
I couldn't wait... the sun was up for far too long today. And I can't
see straight, but the two of you look awfully pretty. And I couldn't
wait... been awake for far too long today. And is it strong enough
to burn away the cooking wine? And I'm just tired enough, if I closed
my eyes I'll sleep for days... I'll sleep for days. Sorry I'm late.

if I close my eyes I'll sleep for days... I'll sleep for days.
For Your Lungs Only
A right turn gone wrong. Nothing left but
the dust. Left to fill your lungs up. Have to choke, and choke,
and choke. Repercussion... what got us this form. Facilitation
for feeling listless. Repercussion... what got us this form.
Facilitation for feeling listless. The son sits out in the sun, and
that's when he calls 'father'. He realized a long time ago, he's
never coming home, no. Repercussion... what got us this form.
Facilitation for feeling listless. Repercussion... what got us this
form. Facilitation for feeling listless.
Exploding Boy (The Cure cover song)
I couldn't hear a word you said. I couldn't
hear at all. You talked until your tongue fell out. And then
you talked some more. I knew if I turned... I knew if I turned, I'd
turn away from you. I couldn't look back. I couldn't look back.
Tell yourself we'll start again. Tell yourself it's not the end.
Tell yourself, it couldn't happen... not this way. Not too late.
Not too late. I couldn't hear a word you said. I couldn't hear
at all. You talked until your tongue fell out. And then you
talked some more. I knew if I turned... I knew if I turned, I'd turn
away from you. I couldn't look back. I couldn't look back.
Tell yourself we'll start again. Tell yourself it's not the end.
Tell yourself, it couldn't happen... not this way. Not too late.
Not too late. Not too late. Not too late.
Sundials
You were like a toilet bowl at the end of the rainbow.
Something like a pot of gold stuck under my pillow. Keeping me up
at night. You kept my head spinning and wishing there were windows
to throw you from, throw you from. Day or night, fuck if I know.
Hard to tell with no fucking window. And sundials, what good are
sundials? Once the sun is gone what are you good for? And we
laid in my bed like a train wreck. And we both got laid like concrete.
And we fought like soldiers, but we died... we died like flies. Day
or night, fuck if I know. Hard to tell with no fucking window.
And sundials, what good are sundials? Once the sun is gone what are
you good for?
Nose Over Tail
Crack my head open on your kitchen floor to prove
to you that I have brains. Meanwhile tin men are led by little girls
down golden roads that lead to nowhere. Fine time to fake a seizure.
To feel your mouth on mine. You're saving me. Whatever happened
to that silly dream you had? I want to make it real. I'd love
to rub your back. Like a plane crash that never hits the ground,
I fall in love with you. I'm nose over tail for you. Your voice
like the sound of sirens to a house on fire. You're saving me.
'97
I've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of
a cadillac. Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next
to impossible. I had it all. When I was with you I forgot about
everything. Eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking eternity.
But you'll be there, to dry my eyes when I breathe you in in '97... in
'97. I've got it now, like a thorn in my side the size of a cadillac.
Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible.
I had it all. When I was with you I forgot about everything.
Eighteen months... I won't breathe for eighteen months. I don't deserve
this... I don't deserve this... I don't deserve this. No, I don't
deserve this... I don't deserve this. No, I don't deserve this...
I don't deserve this. No, I don't deserve this. No, I don't
deserve this. No, I don't deserve this, no.
