I had to learn to sew with my eyes closed I learned to walk with the help of a garden hose I learned to snipe with the help of a broken scope You write your name on paper I write mine in the snow Tonight Let's steal the sun I feel the wind blow and I hear the moon sink low I smell the winds of change coming with a bloody broken nose Some time down the road I'll go with the flow Some time down the road I'll go with the flow Tonight Let's steal the sun

Black Cats 03:41
I'm falling behind I'm losing my mind I spend all of my days Watching the sun shine I'm burning a candle At both ends Fascinated by the fire Waiting for friends You're crossing my path You're getting in my way If i was a black cat This wouldn't be your day You catch it on camera You put it away You save it all up For some rainy day To sling some mud into An open wound We play this game and They all stay tuned Some call it a game Some call it a race I got my position by favor And I'm not losing my place Keep the gates closed Keep the peasants out Keep the gates closed And hold your ground

I left my mind in the corner to sit and think about what it had done Musing on the confusing Confetti Army Bubblegum Well I want to know where the crazy ones go... Fly in a flying V or topple like dominoes? I left my brain in el cerebro I gotta get it Got got to get it I broke up with my brain over creative differences Everyone wants to know what the big difference is Whenever I'm alone, I know I'm not home Make a habit to call myself collect on the phone 'Cause I've got me And that's all I need Spit into the clouds To sew my wild seeds. Yeah. Psychosomatic schizophrenia I think I know me Or maybe I'm a friend of ya Enemy enema Ritalin Emma Measure the entropy And I'll get back to ya Rifle me Riddle me Rattle me Baffle me Shiver me Shatter me What a catastrophe No need for apostrophes I learned from my english teach (This is the part where i use the parenthesis) Better better bet that you're better than the rest When you take the taxing test Flying leap from the nest Fake the falling Flying fast Pay the toll Make it last Memorize this moment in your mind Rewind it, play it back.

Lawman 04:13
Well I'm going down the highway Doin' 'bout ninety I left my woman behind me I hope she never finds me 'Cause I'm going to the land Where the wind don't blow Goin' wherever that river flows And I ain't got nothing to hide from you. Well I guess that I thought I Could leave my troubles behind me The man's trying hard to find me Back in mississippi So I'm headed down low, but I Ain't going slow Away from my home where the Blue grass grows And I ain't got nothing to hide from you. Well I guess it all started right After I jumped the fence. I had To get on the move, 'cause I killed A man in self defense. So now I'm On the run from old death row. Old man law wants me six feet below. And I ain't got nothing to hide from you. Lawman Running all around If he catch me He puts me underground Well old man law, he finally caught Up with me. I had to act real fast Or I'd be pushing up daisies. so I Grabbed my gun and I busted some Rounds. Now all of his pals all Follow me around. And I ain't got nothing to hide from them, 'Cause I ain't got nothing to hide from you. No, I ain't got nothing to hide. i ain't got nothing to hide.

The anticipation of things to Come used to overwhelm me. But now I've grown up. The things I expect, I don't look Forward to anymore. And waves of disappointment are All I can see from these shores. Nothing's going to be everything you wanted It to be. Don't let it bring you down, Just know what to expect when it comes around. Regrets will take you, and they will Make you everything you always said You'd never become. The good times aren't gone. You've Just gotta know where to look for them. Take that with as many grains of salt As you want. Nothing's going to be everything you wanted It to be. Don't let it bring you down, Just know what to expect when it comes around. Your regrets will take you, they'll try to break you. They'll keep you where you are. So sorry i couldn't be everything you wanted me to be.

All the freaks come out at night I sent my resignation to the Broom-handle messiah. I've got no time for pamphlets And post cards. Cruise control I ain't no coast guard. There's a chrysalis in my pocket, And the worm's about to hatch. The dogs are at the door, And the key is in the latch. This could go any way. Right now I just don't know. It's not up for me to say Which way it'll go. Fuzzy dice & Neon headlights I sold my soul, So now my shoes don't fit right. I'd get it back, but I've got no motivation. I'm on the road to Desolation. It's that ninety-ninth "Tomorrow I'll do it." I'd give you my word, But you'd see right through it. I've got no money, Got no soul, And I've got no hope. Strung out as can be, Hanging out at the End of my rope.

Garden Drive 04:23
I'm throwing stones today I'm picking up a new hobby Got no time for sleeping in late I've got important things to do today I’ve got a dog Her name is Sam I've got the world In the palm of my hands. I've got the sunshine I've got a trike. I might learn to Ride my bike. I might learn something new. I'd like to spend my day with you. That's the way it's supposed to go Don't leave me out or i might go psycho i don't wanna be left out. Don’t leave me out, Or I might kill someone I'm taking pills today. I've got a job, I’ve got bills to pay I've got migraines all the time. I've got a life that I wish was mine. I’ve got no time for sleeping in late i've got important things to do today i've got a boss He's got concerns On medication for his heartburn And he's bringing me down I don't wanna be here anymore I’ve gotta get out of here Before I might kill someone I'm swimming in the lake today Shouldn’t quit my job, you say? Got no time for sleeping in late I've got important things to do today I've got a girl She loves me true I've got a dog and a ferret to boot. I've got love. It's going good. Just the way I knew it would.

Don't live your life with your head buried in the sand Don't live your life with your head full of demands You don't have to take my words for it You don't have to take my advice for granted But don't come crawling back here. Walk along the path to the Conscious-decision-making-processing plant Don't mind the cameras, it's just the government. Sticks and stones may break your bones, But your words may do you worse. They'll cut them up, throw them around, And put you in a hearse. But don't come crawling back here.

My magic is gone But I've still got reason The fire's now nothing more Than some ashes. Great kings lie in this season. You can't illuminate the world With them matches. Thieves are on the prowl for Our hard earned pay while we Rest from earning our keep. The breakneck speed and the Blur of the rat race We hold our hands to the fire For heat. It can all seem like a waste of time. Head above the water I'm blurring the lines. What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine. I paste on the smile, I'm doing fine. Cradle to the grave, you'd better behave. Stay in the lines and don't act out. They tell you to reach for the brass ring, "It's out of your league, but pantomime for us." It doesn't mean a god damn thing. At least we know who cares for us. Try to keep afloat.

9 months in the womb Mama's hoping for a boon I've been a long time coming They wanna get me out soon Well i guess everything didn't Go according to plan, 'cause When the doctor went to slap me, I bit his hand. I'm just Your average Ordinary mild mannered Kind of guy Growing up is tough when You ain't got no friends. I'm Talking to the walls, they think I'm messed up in the head. Well You'll all be sorry when I get Big and bad. I'll be the Meanest nightmare you never Knew you had. I'm just your Average Ordinary Mild mannered Kind of guy I'm living in a cave 'Cause I still can't behave Broken bottles, bone sculptures, & Pink lemonade I'll be dancing in the fire In the dead of the night But don't you worry about me, I'm doing alright

Flashlight in my pocket, Moving through the parking lot. If trouble's what you're looking for, buddy Then trouble is what I've got. I've been on the job for fifteen Long, long years. I start every morning right With a case of beer. Well I think this world owes me a favor. Some day you'll read about me in the paper. A bad-ass vigilante with no holds barred. For now I'm just a mall security guard. I'm the king of the CB radio: "Breaker one nine: Mission lunch break is a go." I could snap at any minute. Throw you punk fucking kids through that window. I'm a man on a mission, and my heart pumps Liquid fear. I start every morning right With a case of beer. Greased black monkey mack Sits back watching his marrow crack While reality burns on MTV. One hand in the back Two eyeing the prize Dreams of Joanie Laurer nude on dvd. He says, "There's a whistle in my pocket And you know I'm gonna rock it, If i had a gun I'd cock it, and we'd Battle at the end of the day! If you're a gambling man like You know I am, I'd put my money On me kicking some ass in a security way!"

These poison rotten people will destroy you They'll run around and lie and do things You wouldn't do Maybe I'm one of them You'll never know Brain lockdown has got you under control These poison rotten people will destroy you They'll run amok and steal And try things you wouldn't do Maybe he's one of them Who knows? Push the button, you're under control These poison rotten people will destroy you They'll ruin your life, and then they'll try To kill you. Maybe she's one of them, I just don't know. Look at you, you're under control. There's poison rotten people all around you And they're so glad that they've been able To find you You're one of them, I'm sure you know. Nothing more to say. We're under control.

I'm feeling out of touch with everything I used to feel, but I don't miss it much at all. as time goes by, I feel like I should be figuring out some things. get me out of here. some things are becoming to clear. yesterday's broken mirrors are looking at me. Bad luck is only what you make of it. Put a different spin on your world. Bad days are made for sleeping in. Well I think it's time to wake up. Yesterday's broken mirrors are looking at me. Yesterday's broken mirrors are looking up.
