blue carpet baby

can i step up to the mic for just a minute?
i just wanted to say
you never felt like i did today

we never get what we want
i'm here to bring that down someday
don't worry your head, i'm trying to take your pain away
and you never felt like i did today

"get a load of this guy" they would always say
but they've never felt like i do today
i must have been a miracle for someone
God put me here to shine through
all i know is
right now
you've never felt quite like i do

it's interesting to see all the people here for me
o, such a glorious day
i bet they feel like i do today.

"get a load of this guy!"

oh, hello glory

always alone in a crowded room
this isn't something new
"doc there's a hole where something was"
i'm only toxic to myself anyway

never forget, i forgot
i'm always in between
rearrange.
i wished so hard i was blue
something was always missing
put a lot of hot air to love's ice cube
nominate your latest dream
as life's greatest tragedy
you gotta remember who you are
and by God, i'm always at a new low
feeling it all out
felt like a overflowing trash can

why 'aint it me?
dodge the question
you can begin the debate of who i am
because i have just the left the room
oh, what a world of make believe
took a shot at life
well hell, at least i tried
living is just a bet on your own life
remember that kid.

turn the lights back on:
hand check
now please resume.

gearheaded

i've got guns, baby
stockpiled ammunition of love
arms dealer to the elite
can't stop what you can't compete with
my only explanation is "i'm sorry, try again"
tug of warfare in my head
can't buy happiness without interest
i cross referenced everything i have versus i had
one day i'll be better off
this is just the beginning i fear
she said "i just don't know you anymore"
i suppose this suffices.
truth is a rubix cube away
some get it and some don't
fill my head with hot air and hold my breath
hey, what else do i have left?

"i got a little bit of blow, we could both get off."

pipe dreams with teflon seals of love

one off the deep end
waded in the moon pool just to come out a wolf again
i'm stretched
beyond shaking a crystal ball and wishing so hard
that i almost didn't wake back up
it's lunacy, you see
coming into your own skin
speculate
inspect me
am i all wrong for trying work it all through?
giving up on letting myself down
i don't know when the last time it was since i've figured myself out
beyond the silliness of the situation
there lies the monsters underneath your feet
under your bed wasn't prominent enough anymore
they wanna know what you're up to
"tell me baby, how have you been?"
living rigor mortis riding in pop (cult)ure's hearse
i loved it all first
and everything you do

so let me see your moves.


i'm not going to sleep.


but i'll be quiet.
