Day In Day Out


I don't want to barge in on your secrey see dependency see it means nothing to me
I don't want to hear about your problems and I don't want to listen to your apathy see
You're not like me see
You mean nothing to me
All your cash doesn't make you any greener.
(chorus)
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel.
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me.
Day in, day out It's not that bad.
I worry and I worry but you'll never have to worry again, you'll never be alone.
In my room with a bucket full of phlegm I don't need a music scene to tell me who I am
I should have got a warning should have came a year ago should I sent her a birthday card?
My conscience tells me no.

I'm Better Than You


I dont need no stupid reasons to go around
Always treating everyone with impunity
Im better than you
Im better than you think
Take it easy im better off this way
I dont ever get to feeling for you cant you see that
I dont give a shit about you
Im better than you
Im better than you think

Sick And Sad


Went to the corner of second and main and there was someone
There who mentioned that they hoped that it would rain
Forever, forever, so they could drown in peace.
Went down to the hodskin p.l. but there was nobody to answer when I rang the doorbell
Forever, forever so now I'm sad all the time. Sick and sad again.
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end.
Sick and sad again.
Sometimes I'd like to stand on my own two feet.
Today was the day but she threw it all away and I could never understand
'Cause she was never one to play by the rules of the game her and me we're so the same
I try so hard and I never give in and I am never satisifed until the day that I win agaisnt them
But I don't care I'll follow her to anywhere.

As The Footsteps Die Out Forever


She was diagnosed on a Friday,
The kids were almost home,
The kids were on their way back home from school,
Lying face down in the gutter of unaccomplished dreams
And broken memories of things to come,
"Sorry ma'am,
I really am.
I had to break the news.
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
You know where,
I'll tell you when,
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks, the best way that you can.
" Every night for three long weeks,
She'd roam the hallways half asleep and as the footsteps fade away in my mind,
I could swear,
I could swear,
I heard her say:
Don't wait for me,
I've got a lot to do I've got a lot to be
And in the end maybe I'll see you there.
Lost her strength on a saturday.
Spent the day in bed.
Yeah, I'm fine, it's just the flu she said with a smile,
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow.
She knew she only had a while to live to breathe
To see to be to bleed to stand on her own two weakened feet
"And so I pray everyday:
Don't take my mother away"
And in the end maybe i'll see you there.
You know i'll see you there
And in the end i'll see you there.

This One Goes Out To...


Staring out the window of somebody's pickup truck
Well I never mind the boredom
Cause I use it for a crutch just to get me to that plae
Its a different state of sane
And everytime I try to change
I always end up quite the same thinking back to happier days
When everyone was ignorant
And all the kids behaved but me
And my friends and the ice cream
Man that was our existance
That was our clan this one goes out to the friends I never had:
Hey I don't understand but I'd like to anyway
Hey I don't understand but I like it anyway
Hey I don't understand but I like you anyway
Hey I don't understand
Shelter in the city we decided to go in
And I gave a man some money to buy herion
But the homeless man returned
And he gave me back a dime he said,
"Put it in your sock my friend
And save it for another time"
But: lessons are learned and later unlearned
If he knew then what he knows now
Well he could rule the world
But I'm not one to judge what happened yesterday
Cause I got me I got myself
My future is at stake
This one goes out to...

Shoebox In My Closet


Here i am alone again the box in my closet
Is my only friend but i never let that bother me
Because i got myself
Aand i set myself free
Im alone when im with everybody else like a book
I've read about a million times
Well i know what i will read
And i know what i will find
No need to go on but i go on anyway
And when im satisfied
I ask you why'd you go away? ...
Hey stop it i dont want it anymore

Supernothing


He wakes up sad again, wonders when the rain will end
She'll act like she don't care cause to her it's just a game...
That he plays I'm a super I'm a nothing I'm a no one going nowhere going fast but I don't care
All the times he said he would she never really understood what he said or what he meant
He won't forget what wasn't said he'll find himself alone standing in the rain.
