Got a lover says I’m more like a ghost cause some days I see her but most days I don’t, oh no
I don’t mean to hurt
Is it wrong spending half of my time all alone?
I can’t help that it feels so right, oh no
Is that so absurd?
Even though we have a hell of a time
I'd rather be on my own tonight
Get up now turn around
I’d love to have a reason to say
That you are all I desire
Low blow, I know,
It’s not personal
It’s just the way that I’m wired
I may be young but I can understand
How we work I don’t need no one to hold my hand
I think I’m doing just fine
But I can see that I am letting her down
Cause she wants what I got but I’m not into letting it go right now
Is that such a crime?
Even though we have a hell of a time
I’d rather be on my own tonight
Get up now turn around
Love to have a reason to say
That you are all I desire
What a low blow, I know,
It’s not personal
It’s just the way that I’m wired
Maybe this is just a phase
And that’s ok
Or maybe I will be this way
‘till my dying day
And that’s ok
Even though we have a hell of a time
I’d rather be on my own tonight
Hate to say it but I’m better off alone
Get up now turn around
I’d love to have a reason to say
That you are all I desire
What a low blow I know
But it’s not personal
It’s just the way that I’m wired

Giants

All I see are giants by my side
Believe me when I say I’ve tried
To see all that they see
They claim to be like me
And I cannot help it but to stare
With giants standing everywhere
It’s easy to feel small
When the world is theirs,
Nowhere for us at all
But no way they don’t bleed
Like you and me
How bout you spread a little light on my friends and I?
And they say: no no no!
How bout a meet and greet on these crooked streets?
And they say: no no no!
How bout a little less time spent with only your kind?
And they say: no no no
How bout a woman or a man who can stick to a plan?
Then one day
We’ll be gone and they
All will fall to lonely ground
Brother, with a heart so pure but soon they’ll smother
Innocence like no other
They try to mold your mind
Convince you that you’ll never reach their heights
But no way they don’t bleed
Like you and me
How bout you spread a little light on my friends and I?
And they say no no no
How bout a meet and greet on these crooked streets?
And they say no no no
How bout a little less time spent with only your kind?
And they say no no no
How bout a woman or a man who can stick to a plan?
Then one day
We’ll be gone and they
Will come to find they’re all alone
How bout you spread a little light on my friends and I?
And they say no no no
How bout a meet and greet on these crooked streets?
And they say...no!
How bout a little less time spent with only your kind?
And they say no no no
How bout a woman or a man who can stick to a plan?
Then one day
They’ll be gone and hey,
We’ll find a way to celebrate
Then one day
We’ll be gone and they
All will, all will
All will, all will
They all will fall to lonely ground

The Surface

I know that I am drowning
The water burns my eyes
Portraits of my past flash through my mind
I leave all this behind
It’s scary on the surface
I’m uncertain what is real
But deeper down, deeper down there’s truth
There’s love, there is reason, there’s light
Right...
Take me
And let me try again I will live safely
I’ll find a job I love to hate and make mamma and daddy proud
I’ll hide in
I’ll stick to what I know and never know it
I’ll let the dreams I dream all fade away
...No way
A crowd gathers above me
They’re praying that I live
While I’m sinking down, down, fading
Waiting, they’re always waiting
Just move
Take me
And let me try again I will live safely
I’ll find a job I love to hate and make mamma and daddy proud
I’ll hide in
I’ll stick to what I know and never know it
I’ll let the dreams I dream all fade away
...No way
Take me
And let me try again would I live safely?
Find a job I love to hate and make mamma and daddy proud?
Would I hide in?
Would I stick to what I know and never know shit?
Would I let the dreams I dream all fade away?
No way
No way
No way
...No way

On & On

This time it wasn’t up to me
Round and round we go
And now you’ve stopped so down we go
Did I ever waste your time?
Cut me loose leave me behind
This time it wasn’t up to me
You’ve finally had enough
And you can’t remember why you loved
Someone as cruel and cold as me
Somehow that’s all you ever see
But that just ain’t me
On and on and on we go
Always the same
On and on and on we go
And by the time we finally change
We’ve worn our hearts right down
Broken and strung out
There’s nothing left of us
I’m no longer the guy
That you used to know and love
This time it wasn’t up to me
You’ve melted down my past mistakes
Made a sword, a shield, and armor plate
And you use me against me
On the defense constantly
Is no way to be
On and on and on we go
Always the same
On and on and on we go
And by the time we finally change
We’ve worn our hearts right down
Broken and strung out
There’s nothing left of us
I’m no longer the guy
That you used to know and…
Love and time just can’t be friends
For when love is gone
Time keeps moving on
The arc of love has quite a bend
And it’s not fair for you
No it’s not fair for me
When we go
When we go on…
On and on and on we go
Always the same
On and on and on we go
And by the time we finally change
We’ve worn our hearts right down
Broken and strung out...
We’ve made our mark
Tore apart
It’s time we say goodbye
There’s nothing left of us
I’m no longer the guy
That you used to know and love
And I hardly recognize
The you that you’ve become
I’m no longer the guy
That you used to know and love
