Here
and Now
Something's wrong, you've gone cold
But there's fire in your look
and that look has grown old
hidden well, not at all
there's an absence in presence
and hollow-toned calls
well it's on again, off again,
inside my head
if it's gonna be borrowed
I'll take nothing instead
Whatcha think? What went wrong?
You sat on your worries and angers too long
But now it shows
here and now,
nothing else,
nothing more, nothing less
here and now, before you go
was I all that you wanted,
or all that you've known
Something's
wrong, something's changed
you always seemed helpless,
the role's rearranged
go ahead, and begin
to wrestle your demons,
you know you won't win
but all I can hope to do,
to keep me from losing you
is become as cold and hope we see it through
so I wait, well aware
I'm reaching for stars that I know are not there
But now it shows
Goodbye
Here we are at last, you are moving on
I was living in the past, now the past is gone
You pick up all the pieces, then you move along
You pick up all the pieces, then I'm left with none
When you find
yourself weak
and you feel it in your knees
when there's no one there to speak
and no one there to please
Your thoughts are incomplete
this feeling of defeat
Remember that it's you that made it out to be like this
You're standing by me now
Soon you will be gone
If you're ever feeling lonely
You don't have to be alone
You pick up all the pieces, then you move along
You pick up all the pieces, then I'm left with none
When you find
yourself weak
and you feel it in your knees
when there's no one there to speak
and no one there to please
Your thoughts are incomplete
this feeling of defeat
Remember that it's you that made it out to be like this
If we never meet again, if we never cry again, if we never laugh again, we all could die, but then, if we never live again, we never love again, if we never try, that's just fine, that's just fine with me
cause I am moving

Internet
Killed the Video Star
I fixed my breakfast down at Samuel’s bar
I watched young lovers, loving from afar
Singing Internet killed the video star
I brought you flowers for the trunk of your car
I woke up sweating, getting at your feet
And fixed myself some artificial meat
I listened to bonnie Tyler’s “hero” on repeat
And I iced my trousers to try and beat the heat
But your sour kiss, little Miss Marie
Imports happiness and exports misery
I trade my rupees for manifest destiny
I trade my honey for cold complacency
Singing
It’s a crying shame
The Internet’s to blame
Some say “heads or tails” but I say they’re the same
Come on hun I heard you like it that way
Southern soul kiss or southern hospitality
Your soiled silk, your spoiled milk they all trick me
I walked across the border a quarter passed three
And looked you up in the old directory
Singing
It’s a crying shame
The Internet’s to blame
Some say “heads or tails” but I say they’re the same
Come on hun I heard you like it that way
Let
Yourself Out
This story played out,
how I thought it would
And when I'm feeling down,
you keep me there for good
So if it's really it,
I'm ready to let go
of all we could have been
and all we could have known
oh now, well I, I guess nevermind
Take a look
at yourself
take a look at you now
you let yourself in
now let yourself out
It may be over,
maybe not
but I put this to you
And if we drift apart
there's nothing I can do
oh now, well I, I guess nevermind
Take a look
at yourself
take a look at you now
you let yourself in
now lett yourself out
It's the same,
it's a shame what happened to you
From what I hear,
what I fear's already true
back to top
Come
On
Here it is, well I guess you're happy now
You got your problems all worked out
And all it took was time
So what's more, you got your ear down to the floor
You're frozen to the core
And you think that's just fine
Well you're sure you'll keep winning and by the beginning, the end will be
bringing as long as you're singing out
No one's gonna show you how, no one's gonna slow you down, nothing's gonna
stop you now
Well I guess, it's like you always said
Success is in your head, when you're resting in your bed
So hang on now, don't get your panties in a bunch
While daddy's out to lunch and baby's being bad
Well you're sure you'll keep winning and by the beginning, the end will be
bringing as long as you're singing out
No one's gonna show you how, no one's gonna slow you down, nothing's gonna
stop you now

But
I Don't
The new has gone old or so I'm told
these days you never know
I've been up watching war hoping for
a way to let go
The new love craze had me in a daze
but then again true love is so passe
I guess
But I want to breathe, I want to need, I want to fall at your feet
I want to miss the taste of your kiss and crave your skin's heat
I want to know just how overblown I made our differences seem
But I don't
There's
talk about waging a war that's making us safe from other wars
But I've heard the lines and I know this time it's never worked before
The new love craze had me in a daze
but then again true love is so passe
I guess
But I want to breathe, I want to need, I want to fall at your feet
I want to miss the taste of your kiss and crave your skin's heat
I want to know just how overblown I made our differences seem
But I don't
There was a time when I thought we'd find ourselves renewed
But those days are gone and all that is wrong will stay with you

It
Goes On
I've been combing for answers but, these clues just aren't enough for me
Call me irrational, alligning with the fashionable, but it seems
It's true it's more than medical, hypothetical toxins in the distance
Undead spoon-fed it's been said, but we can't wait for this to go on
And in the morning rituals, tune out the habitual if you can
Long nights getting longer and spotlights getting stronger but again
It seems it's more than medical, hypothetical toxins in the distance
Undead spoon-fed it's been said, but we can't wait for this to go on

Remeber
When
There’s a pain, an aberration
A strange invasion, A broken dream
There’s a word for the danger
Before it takes you away from me
Like a frame on the mantle
A roman candle, acoming threat
From the banks of a river
It makes me shiver to think of it
Remember when
We thought we’d win
And we’d begin to take control
Remember when?
Not again, not for you
Next thing I know, I hear you screaming
You’re barely breathing or so it seems
All the violence in your silence
All the meanings lost inside us
Remember when
We thought we’d win
And we’d begin to take control
Remember when
Not again not for you
And now that winter’s gone
The chills and all the winds have calmed
For now
And now that we are here
Alone to face the coming year
Somehow, somehow
A divided nation
An aberration
A plea for help
Lost in translation
Tamina's
Song
speaking confidentially,
ten years have burdened me
when you can't return home,
and your lover's face is unlearned
you listen but never speak
because regret's such a boring topic
and all the years have blurred,
you can't arrange the events you've known
you're sure that it's strange to be
so young and feel so old
it's crazy to love and fall,
but love is madness or nothing at all
you got your looks, you got your brains
you got your youth but it's running away
you got your thighs, you got your breasts
you got it all but you couldn't care less
it's crazy to love and fall,
but love is madness or nothing at all
back to top
Just
Breathe
so breathe, breathe in and out
shiver, shout, whatever it takes
tonight it will all be fine
just give it some time and it will all be done
you're better off alone, you're better on your own
you're better off as one
so cry, cry if it helps, believe in yourself
and hate in defense, for everything you've spent
for how your love's been bent
and how you've been ignored
it's all there, just look in the shoebox
it's loaded and unlocked
now it's in your hands
the punches that he lands
your unanswered demands will go unanswered no more
so push aside the pain inside
take the hope you've been denied
once and for all, all and all
you're the only one who can stop your fall
and when it's all behind
when it's all behind you can start again
so breathe, breathe in and out, quiver about
whatever it takes
for all the love he fakes for all the pain he makes
and all the time you know you waste
you know you can do this, and you know you'll never miss
and you know you'll never have to kiss
spiteful borrowed lips again

My
Kristin
My Kristin, I realize that we only went on 12 dates
but I kinda wish you'd acknowledge my existence
but that's just me
and hey I like to not return phone calls as much as the next guy
but you hold the record for 1999
congratufuckinlations
you make me sick
It's got to be because I'm Jewish
My Kristin, Do you remember the night at the Pike party when you were grinding
with 2 random guys?
and then you pretended like you didn't even know me
ah, memories
and yes, yes, I don't know, yes, and never again
Is that her? Did she see you? Why didn't she acknowlege you? Do you feel like
a douchebag? When are you gonna call her again?*
Lick my nutsack
*notice
I answer my questions, then ask them at the end
