bring me back

i was falling everywhere
everywhere

but just bring me back
and throw away me
just bring me back
and throw away, throw away
the key


searching

everytime i'm looking for inspiration
	well the well is so dry
and everytime i think that she could save me
	she makes me want to crawl up and die

everytime i just want to put it to rest
	the voices rage, won't let it sleep at all
i've been searching for an angel
	i've been looking for a sign

(interlude)
	
well call me rip van winkle
	cause i've been asleep for 20 years
i'm waking to my own new year
	i'm facing my own fear
	
everytime i think i'll send some good karma
	i get a slap in the face
the world is nothing like i thought it would be
	the world is nothing like i thought it should be

(interlude)

well she got a mouth so lovely
	and i'll let her do anything she please
but i've been searching for an angel
	yeah i've been looking for a sign

reflections
Maybe Elliott knew it best when he gave into the pain
  In a godless wonder of a world
  In a godless wonder of a world

I wake up sore and the floorboards creak
And nothing's changed but the counting dials
And sweetheart you should know 
You can't get by on looks alone
  When you're faced with your own solitude
  When you're faced with your solitude

Love turns to lust, motives to revenge
Maybe there's therapeutic value in these things
Maybe there's redemption, maybe we'll
  All just burn
  For our dark, dark crimes

Open myself for no reason 
You were quick to show your treason
It's a tangled web of lies
Whodunnits and whys?
  But I won't be your alibi
  I'll never be your alibi

       Ain't it strange that the only ones that sympathize
       Are the ones being beaten down worse than you
       And I hope I never forget your drunken pixie smile

I find it hard to forgive when I never forget
I find it hard to live all in regrets (yeah yeah yeah)
Maybe Elliott had it best when he gave into the pain 
And he finally rested
  In a godless wonder of a world
  In a godless wonder of a world

singular obsession / thick skin


singular obsessions eat away
promise me you won't wait for me
and i'll try to let you slip away

i let you drag me up and down
foolishly putting all my faith in you

while these singular obsessions eat away

@@&@@@@---@@@@@&@@

thick skin
thick skin when she don't love you
thick skin when she don't love you, love you

a singular obsession
gnawing at your soul
you've been careless in a bad way
you're cutesy in a bad way
everything is in a bad light now

promise you won't wait for me
and i'll try to let you slip on by

a singular obsession
i've killed another friend

too much want has left me needing

so tough skin, tough skin, tough skin
when she don't love you

brilliant when rare

brilliant when rare
we're told that these things,
these thing can be blinding

brilliantly rare
we're told these things can be blinding

exposed and immobile
when the shock subsided
and your venom 
circulated my heart

and there was good reason in this
there was reason for hope

but you destroyed
everything i knew

and now i'm drowning in the fury
i'm drowning in the pain
and now i'm drowning in the fury
i'm drowning in the pain

(interlude)

brilliantly rare
we're told these things can be blinding

exposed and immobile
when the shock subsided
and the venom 
coursed my veins

brilliantly rare
we're told these things can be blinding

exposed and immobile
exposed
exposed

when the shock subsided
when the shock subsided
and your venom 
coursed through my veins

i am a rational man
i knew what i was doing
and i knew you were doing it too

i knew what was going through your head
dare i say more than you

and i knew you did not know what you were doing
i knew it was flawed
i knew it would not work
and i still pushed forward

oscillating movement

to know that you had her before 
and i wish everytime i held you it was pure
the tattoos mark you like a prison suit
but memories and make believe helps me by

rest from the judgement 
in these minds, in these minds
rest from the judgement 
in these eyes, oh in these eyes

(interlude)

all i want is somebody like you 
erasing my past everytime i move forward
oscillating movement that flows in me and flows in you, flows in you now

rest from the judgement 
in these minds, in these minds
rest from the judgement 
in these eyes, in these eyes
in these eyes

(interlude)

it's just a question of endurance
tired of it all but music and escape
this repetition and routine i can not stand
oscillating movement that flows in you, and flow, and flow in me now

rest from the judgement 
in these eyes, in my eyes
rest from the judgement 
in these eyes, in these eyes

(repetition and routine, everyday i burnout clean)

happy child

do i smother you with details 
before we light the flame?
am i mistaking my desire 
or do you feel the same?

resentment disguised as affection
oh, you know i hate you now
remembering what she said
though she knew not what she meant

[rambling along
you think you're so much more clever than you are]

keep you smiling it isn't hard
you were born such a happy child
you were born such a happy child

(interlude)

keep you smiling it isn't hard
you were born such a happy child
you were born such a happy child

turnoff (to sleep)

Who needs sheep to sleep
When you've got Smirnoff?
I'm a bit too deep
It's quite a turnoff

I can't tell if I've lived my life well
If I'll end up in hell
But I know, if you're in heaven

It'll be a tough sell

Acting with no pretense
Leaving behind no fence
If I could climb my defenses
I'd be a better man (now)
There's nothing more I need from you
No part in my future plans

(interlude)

Who needs sheep to sleep
When you've got Smirnoff?
hmmm hmm

Who needs comfort
When you're at peace?
Who needs anything
When you're asleep

Acting with no pretense
Leaving behind no fence
If I could climb my defenses
I'd be a better man
There's nothing more in you I need
No part in my plan

(interlude)

If I could climb my defenses
I'd be a better man
There's nothing more in you I see
No part in future plans

}[ IMPROV OUTRO SONG ]{

i swear there's somebody, somebody for me

i swear there's got to be somebody for me
somebody
somebody for me

i swear there's got to be somebody like me
somebody that's free
i will learn to love again and i will learn to live again
but there's got to be someone for me
got to be 
someone for me

why don't you set yourself free?
