Jump up and get downed
02:06
|

i just had a thought
did you know we've never fought?
we can't let this spoil.
although we're both damned, we've got a caper planned,
no meddling kid can foil.
if you think it's time to quit,
we'll find a cliff and jump off of it.
take my hand, push your fear down,
all questions answered once we're on the ground.
the thought of undiscovered decay
never really bothered me.
i'm more concerned with competence.
failure could give way to common sense,
and we don't want that!
if you think it's time to quit,
we'll find a cliff and jump off of it.
take my hand, push your fear down,
all questions answered once we're on the ground.
target: you and me.
we won't die lonely.

Is it safe?
03:06
|

draw me out, but i won't go
because the basis is "need to know"
and i still fancy these feelings are my own
where i ache you'll never find
so don't worry your dirty mind
because your pretty little head is doing fine
you're pacified but i've got shooting pains
why don't you get me some novocaine
or maybe something stronger
you can't see just what you do to me
it's just like pulling teeth, when you use those little three words
"is it safe?"
i think you'd better take this sitting down
because it's long and boring
and it comes without warning
repetition meant to emphasize
quickly loses meaning
now you know why i'm screaming, "is it safe?"
is it safe?

10 yr old rides
02:19
|
|||
in all of those ten-year-old rides
my head back, watching the night sky
or the long, not-so-lonely walks
ears full of music, head full of thoughts
i wasn't told, but somehow knew
i could never do what i wanted to
i can't help but regret mistakes i've made
you're supposed to learn, and maybe i did
but i'd still like to take back every time
i was an ass or a fool or (who) said something i knew wasn't true
you know i'm not the greatest,
well i never said i was
so, why do you have to drag me down?
"because"
you wanted me to be what i couldn't. what i wouldn't. what i won't.
ten to twenty-five.

How cruel i can be
02:52
|
|||
i am the kind of clown who gets his laughs by falling down
no, they're not laughing with me
why do they laugh at me every time?
i know i'm just a hack, you can have your money back
i don't want it anyway
what a great day, i knew just what to say
now take it away
words can't hurt you, unless you let them
which is not to say it wasn't my intention
i know i'm not a clown, this is no painted on frown
no one's laughing at all
i wish i hadn't pulled my little stunt
but i have to finish, now that i have begun
words can't hurt you, unless you let them
which is not to say it wasn't my intention
i just figured out how cruel i can be
now i'm waiting for applause
while you're waiting for sorry
i am
i am
you know i am
not gonna say it
