*~ Our voices echo like we hope our words will someday We'll spread our messages from underneath this bridge to everybody's kids We're used to it you can call us stupid, it's okay Everyone has to start somewhere sometime and someplace The fires burn like we'll overturn in due time The smoke stains our clothes like the work stains our souls, but we're doing fine Our lighters are empty and we ran out of matches yesterday And the fire went out, but we'll build a new one in its place The wind may come and silence us, but there's never an eternal gust Wind can blow the fires out, but the things it blows our way can also ignite the flames This creek is ours like the world is ours to piss in This world is too small to ever wanna die and life is too short to cry I used to wonder and i used to ask why things are this way But i'm done wasting time just looking for answers i'll never find The water isn't clear but i have no fear i jump right in i jump right in Cus maybe the things that i might find wont be as bad as they are in my mind And when i start to lose myself and i'm feeling tired and weak I realize that I left myself back there on that beach It's in my reach These things that make me happy I never have to leave This is where i'm meant to be *~

The Door Isn't Locked *~ I don't feel so well That; I show and tell I can't take it anymore Feel so tired and sore Where's the door? There's the door I can't leave This life of same old pain Everyday I don't feel very well But I think you can already tell I don't want it anymore I got/forgot what I wanted it for Where's the door? There's the door I can't leave This life of same old pain Everyday *~ The Midnight Jam *~ Imagine: The midnight jam Foggy air, dim lights It's out of sight Moths in the air Searching for light Seems to me we've got a lot in common Interpretation Save yourself from yesterday Throw those memories away It's the start of something new Our skies will change from black to blue Imagine: A lightless night Yet there's no fright 'Cause it's less dangerous Backwards arrangements Moths in the air Searching for light Seems to me we've got a lot in common Interpretation *~

Creek Tea *~ This won't last forever And It's not getting any better I've chosen two alternatives Two ways of how I plan to live For now my main mission Is to become a famed musician I'll help save people's lives And I'll make a change in this world But if that doesn't all compile I'll live down by the 18 mile With a single bag of tea That I'll recycle for eternity I'll boil creek water Over the burning fire And I'll drink creek tea For all eternity I'll return bottles and cans That I found in the garbage can And if I can afford it I'll buy some ramen from the supermarket I'll cook it over the fire In a pot with creek water Ramen is a rich man's food When you've got nothing to lose And I would like for you to join me So I don't have to be so lonely We'll live alone together Life doesn't get much better We'll stay up all night And we'll sing in the moonlight There won't be such a thing as fright Everything will be alright *~

Wayward Sailor *~ Don't you grow up Don't you leave me You know, I need you Best believe me I'm not ready To see you go I love you so Don't you know? I've just started My real life And if we parted I don't know if I'd survive I am weak At the knee I cannot function Just can't make it alone I've always been The youngest of my friends I'll still linger Shortly after their ends But without them I am nothing I go when you go Don't you know? Oh, oh, oh I don't want you to go The river is flowing And I'm floating Way downstream Don't you know? Give me something To hold onto Won't you anchor This wayward sailor? I never lost anyone when I was young So I guess seeing you all fade is just the price I have to pay Don't you grow up Don't you leave me *~

*~ Maybe a body to control should be my only possession It seems the everything I hold gets shattered by my agression And I try to change, but it's in my blood I'll always be the same at least that's what I think but i've been told it's just the influence of my atmosphere maybe i should get the hell out of here Sometimes I wish my life could be a whole lot worse than it has to be cus maybe then I'd have the motivation that i need to make sure that I die happy And to be honest i wish that i could be more honest but i never know how to say and to be honest i can feel my brain rotting more and more each day If you're in the middle, are you a little bit of eveything, or just nothing? I always have to tell myself to stop thinking because too much thinking can be dangerous But nothing scares the hell out of me like thinking about the future cus i've got about a hundred too many questions and not one single answer *~

Pollen *~ You're beautiful like a flower And yet you make me sick You're just like pollen You arrive in the spring But you leave in the fall You're just like pollen You promised you wouldn't go You were gonna help me through it all You're just like pollen You drifted out in the air And you didn't even care You're just like pollen And when I/you die I'll be sure to go with you But please remind me I'm gonna need a box of tissues Then I forget and I look out my window But you're not there, because you're buried in the snow You're just like pollen You're just like pollen Allergies are callin' Cus you're just like pollen *~

*~ I'm done not having fun just to prove that I need no-one Because lately I've found that I do I need somebody like you I'm here all on my own I'm too scared to talk on the phone And I wonder what I'm gonna do I'd live but I've already screwed myself Here I am, I've been waiting so long I want you to notice me I think it's 'bout time I do good I think it's 'bout time that I do what I should I'm tired of being alone I'll do what you want me to I'll do what I have to do Just promise that you'll be my friend And help me out until the end Here I am, now I'm trying so hard to make everybody happy I think it's 'bout time I do good I think it's 'bout time that I do what I should I'm tired of doing no good I never meant to be so damn cruel I must admit I was such a damn fool but I think it's 'bout time I do good *~
