I wanna ask you –
Do you ever sit and wonder,
It’s so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know, never care
What goes on in the other one’s head?

Things I’ve felt but I’ve never said
You said things that I never said
So I’ll say something that I should have said long ago:

(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all
(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all (at all)

You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me
To be seen.
We’re
Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know

(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all
(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all (at all)

(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all
(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me

If I’m the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray,
An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
Why the f**k would you want me back?!

Maybe it’s because

(You don’t know me at all)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

(You don’t know me,
you don’t know me.)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

So, what I’m trying to say is
What (What?)
I’m trying to tell you
It’s not gonna come out like I wanna say it cause I know you’ll only change it.
(Say it.)

(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all
(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all (at all)

(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all
(You don’t know me)
You don’t know me at all (at all)

What?

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before

And youd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before

And youd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
Youd better run

a parent walks in on a child cutting them self
laughs and says youre silly dear, youre only hurting yourself.
so cut deep or dont cut at all
are u listening?
i dont care what your parents tell you dont cut at all
oh please be listening..
i dont care what those bastards tell you dont cut at all.

youre staggering in you find a finger gagging yourself you heave and say im not like those pigs. i dont care whats good for my health.
controlling the room with tilted thighs
it comes to me as no surprise that i even flicker on my own

feed the one thats closer
as youre flickering on
feed the one thats closed
as you flicker

starving artist you will
i said it before
shed your burdens and build on

you shed your clothes in spite and whisper
you shed your clothes in spite and whisper
i make the demands.

well im doubting my portrait of skin
but i sure as hell wont find limbs down my throat
the substance of wait defines the beauty laced behind the pride of my even scales they stand alone

so cut
its not living deeply
cut
no, not at all

you shed your clothes in spite and whisper
you shed your clothes in spite and whisper

you bare these lines to cleanse your system
you bare these lines despite the symptoms

i make the demands.

How long did we all think this all would last?
Who could have counted days as they flew past?
But before we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying.

Who would have though it’d come as such a show?
A pink and silver day… who was to know?
Even as we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song, to hum through the hours of dying.

They never tell you truth is subjective
They only tell you not to lie
They never tell you there’s strength in vulnerability
They only tell you not to cry
But I’ve been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway
They never tell you you don’t need to be ashamed
They only tell you to deny
So is it true that only good girls go to heaven?
They only sell you what you buy
And I’ve been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway
I’ve been living underground
Trying not to burn
And finding something else to learn
At Hollywood and western

His head is a big black hole
Full of big black things
And it sucks so hard You could never miss the mark
True to form, no one’s ever seen anything come out
What a travesty, what a sad fate
Sigh, someone get a band-aid please
We gotta get this guy a machine for his cranium
I mean I don’t think
Maybe I don’t hear what i need
This never really goes anywhere
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole
And put our heads in
This winter day comes too quick and brought with it not enough hot spiced cider or cinnamon toast
You’d never think they’d notice but when you
got a dead star sucking up photons in your brain things start to change
And for the record let me say
It’s not his fault that things never change
And summer is always too short
He’s doing real good for a guy with a black hole in his head
And you’ll never meet him anyway
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
(We dug a hole)

Step one: light me on fire
step two: walk clean away
I wont burn long
and evidence of your done wrong will be gone
in seconds I swear
but if you got time anyway
why not watch me hurt
and nothing is sweeter than needed revenge
oh that’s right
I did nothing
and you were the mean one
in fact, you even broke my good tape deck
in fact, don’t wanna be friends

but if you got time anyway
why not watch me hurt
and nothing is sweeter than needed revenge
oh that’s right
I did nothing
and you were the mean one
in fact, you even broke my good tape deck
in fact, don’t wanna be friends

If you be my star
I’ll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When i turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you be my boat
I’ll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till i can’t even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by

If you be my star
I’ll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When i turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
Stardust to remember you by

“Hospital Bed Crawl”

In the backseat of a car, in the corner of a room,
In the shadows where I hide from you
Do the hospital bed crawl, do the terminal yell
And the violently alone I feel

Well hey, you’re the only thing I wouldn’t change
In this place, it’s strange to say
You’re the only angel I ever gave away.

In an alleyway way downtown, there’s a lurker making rounds
Keeping track and keeping tabs on you.
And he likes the taste of blood, and he loves the way you love
And that’s just what he wants from you

Well hey, you’re the only thing I wouldn’t change
In this place, it’s strange to say
You’re the only angel I ever gave away.

I don’t want your shining eyes
Darling, don’ you be polite
I’m just like all the other boys
I won’t take a no
I’m soaking in your cinnamon
I’ve taken more than I can give
Without you I’m alone, so I’ll never let you go!

Well hey, you’re the only thing I wouldn’t change
In this place, it’s strange to say
You’re the only angel I ever gave away..
