Some of us are liars And some of us are those they lie to Even though I’ve lied so much I swear that I have never lied to you The truth has always been there Hanging in the air between you and me I’ve never had the guts to say it Cuz I’m a walking calamity But now we’re running out of time and Feelings I cannot define are Filling up my head with dreams of you But if I said my thoughts out loud my Hopes would soon come crashing down and I don’t want our friendship to be through So this is what I’m gonna do I’ll keep my mouth shut I’ll do anything Except come right out And say the truth, instead I’ll sit and wait I’ll withhold the fact that I have always wanted you I can’t remember every time That seeing you just took my breath away Thank God you made me speechless Because telling you would have been a mistake I don’t know where I’m going but I’m pretty sure that You will not be there It wouldn’t matter if I told you, You wouldn’t even care I always sat right next to you and Wished I had courage to just Touch your hand and never let it go But all this time I’m sure you never Thought of you and me together And that’s one reason that I didn’t show, One reason that you’ll never know

Nowhere Fast 03:36
Stuck in place like I’m a syndicated TV sitcom Change the lineup, boss, It’s been in primetime slots for too long No one watches anymore Cuz they’ve all seen my stupid Ratings-grabbing tricks before Stuck in place like I’m a patient in intensive care IV’s and painkillers, a tube that’s down my throat to give me air They said I’ll make it out alive But I was hurt so bad, I’m scared to even try To pick myself up again I am going nowhere fast Memories holding me back I can’t escape my past I need a second chance Cuz I’m going nowhere fast Stuck in place like I’m a ship without a sail Loose the moorings and the voyage will be doomed to fail Tossed about on crashing waves Lost at sea for countless days Stuck in place like I’m a songbird trapped inside a cage Hoping one day to step out onto a bigger, better stage But my voice is dead The sounds of yesterday echo in my head When you said to me I’m going nowhere I’m afraid to move To say the things I need to say To do the things I need to do

I've seen the way you look at me I've done the same But then my conscience told me I should act my age We'll never be together Maybe that's a shame But I'm too old to play along With stupid games I've been looking out for Signs to point the way Speeding down that road The mile markers tell me what I know It's been a long time since I've heard that name Since I wished upon that star Since I found out who I am and who you are How can we find ourselves behind our fading eyes when we can't see the guiding light of northern skies? And I will follow any path I can Just so I can understand So can you tell me Where do we go? And when our paths diverge I'll let you go Cuz it's what we have to do Cuz I cannot find myself when I'm with you So kiss me now It's time to say goodbye It's better off this way Looking forward, leaving yesterday

When luck in life is all you find And hope resents your faithless mind Put a stone inside your chest And walk alone just like this But then you come across A beautiful distraction A drug, a woman who could Finally give you ambition Her body drips with honey Cuz no one could ever taste so sweet Her plan is much more cunning Than anything you've ever dreamed Snow is falling between the trees Leaves you crawling on your knees Lady Luck has no pity For souls so black and dirty Where do you get all your ammunition For all of you evil premonitions? When did you tiny addiction Become your main attraction? Lust kills everything you have And anger everything you had Potential to rise above Lies dead next to what you used to love Lost in hazy memory With her dancing eagerly Lips poised in seductive haste And arms locked in a tight embrace Mirrors break with overuse And eyes blur in a senseless bliss This beautiful lucky girl Has taken you away from this world She'll trick your eyes With diamonds and lies And drain you of your Will to survive It's a tragic scene And you're left with nothing But track marks and Regrettable history

I once met a bright shining girl And she was an action movie star When she was six and barely knew English I guess that's how most shoot-em-up heroines are She was scared and not in the mood for the party But she was so happy to see me, she grabbed me tight She didn't know all the drugs she was high on She couldn't bum a cigarette to save her life Maybe it's the poison talking Cuz I swear I can see a red light glowing Overhead, when I'm dead I wanna come back to life Like the Shoot-em-up Heroine The Shoot-em-up Heroine was tripping on acid She wanted me to take her home and it was on my way She was I the only person that she ever trusted She said she died a million times that day She was gazing directly at my heart With x-ray vision and eyes of gold She made the best and worst decision That a person could possibly make when they're Twenty years old The Shoot-em-up Heroine died a million times But that just proves that she can come back to life Rising up from the ashes of all of those bong hits Feeling so good from reviving, she partied the next night I'm surprised she remembered me at all It was the first time I'd seen her in a year She just keeps bouncing back from death The Shoot-em-up Heroine drinks alcohol and phoenix tears

I am humble, I am whole I am at home in the cold Frostbite seeping in To my toes in sandal thongs It's strange this doesn't feel wrong To stand by you and only think of sin Augustine of Hippo knows We're dirty just because blood flows Everywhere In our hearts, in our veins, In the loins of our brains It pumps harder just cuz I smell your hair December's over and done Throughout my confusion Looking back on these months In searching for someone The best part was you You ask if I was stuck with friends Until the hard grey end I say that I would never make love again A single shining ray of truth before we're touching tooth to tooth and I wonder if I can Deal with all this pent-up shit That only pops up when we kiss Cuz for some reason you do this to me As I wander down your warming skin I catch myself pondering If this is how it's always gotta be Merry Christmas, boys and girls Here's your presents, rock my world Cuz happiness is all that I see See my sister, see my brother, See my father, see my mother and wish I brought you home with me You steal my heart when you steal my hat And whenever you say stuff like that And smile right before we kiss I wanna grab onto you hand And do everything that I can To freeze the world and keep it just like this

I was there when you were hurt I heard all those painful words Suddenly your world stood still When you discovered popping pills Just because you have a past Doesn’t mean you can’t come back Maybe there’s another way Maybe there’s a path to follow But codeine dreams won’t kill the pain When you run out of pills to swallow I see you wearing all your sins You can’t blame them all on Vicodin You woke up in a stranger’s bed You slept with more than Percocet Just because you’ve gone off the rails Doesn’t mean that you have failed

Heroes 03:33
Big Tree Walking and Big Tooth Talking Got the biggest order that they'd ever seen Sunday 1 AM and Patrick has Anakin on the TV screen And what if I should fall and fail? Would Arbor bear the load? Only more questions arose When some broke the fire code Here's your deliverance from Carson's Patrick Flanagan needed some rescuin' We were heroes We were the Blues Brothers on a mission from God We were Batman and Robin, soaring through the Gotham City skies We were heroes in Sullivan's eyes Twelve-inch thin, pepperoni, onion Seven-inch thick, barbecue chicken Pretzels, no sauce, nacho cheese And two Mountain Dew cans please Big Tree Walking and Big Tooth Talking Came into the movie scene We called a name and saved the day And all the faces were cheering We came back and told the tale To everyone we knew So next time there's a fire alarm We'll deliver your pizza to you

Once upon a time There was a boy and a girl Who fell in love at first sight After years of separation She moved on But he couldn't let her go Longing for her He looks across the bay For her green light But he couldn't let her go Go ahead and tell me Beautiful lies Paint a picture of the World in disguise I've always been wrong, The truth has never felt right So make me believe in your Beautiful fiction tonight Once upon a time There was a lonely girl Who worked her fingers to the bone She was promised Things would go her way But it was all a lie Crying all alone All dressed up with nowhere to go Broken dreams in a broken home But it was all a lie Take me away From this world and stick me in a page Give me something like a happy ending Something that'll help me escape
10.
I couldn't survive without you My heart was in your hand I've broken free from your grasp Triumphantly I stand You are left alone As I fly away I won't look back at you But forward to new days You won't keep me down I've waited for so long You can't keep me down My spirit is too strong I'm standing tall I'm standing strong all by myself Facing life Now without you I'm gonna start on something new In the glowing red light I'll never look back again

Cellophane 03:53
Cellophane covers every inch Amazing grace had made me blind, but now I see And is it all about those marching saints, instead of trinity? Diamonds are your trusted friends, thanks to transparency And if it's always gonna be this way Then why are we still here? And if it's only gonna hurt someday Why do I want you near? Cuz I can see through you and you see through me And in love we share identity When we're one step short of infinity Cellophane can set you free Crystal rain is falling onto a troubled head Prismatic blessing is all for not when your heart is all but dead Nothing in the fine prints states that happiness is required But walking, talking sad all day won't help you be inspired And if it's all the same either way Then why do we choose at all? And if it's difficult to reach the top Why risk the fall? Harrison would be prove of you To throw your handicaps into the blue Shrinkwrap your fears til the disappear And they can't even touch Cuz when you're five feet wide and two stories tall You don't need to raise your voice at all The world is your oyster to crush in your hand And answer to the call
