1. Sunshine
sunshine.....
coming through the clouds
spreading light around
sunshine.....
sunshine.

2. There's No Way
i'm choosing sides
i'm trying to find
the right way around
this hole you call
your head
i'm running around
i'm chasing my tail,
trying to get back
at you with my claws
oh, there's no way
there's no way
(there's no way
to get from here)
tripped out,
i'm looking for
a way out of here,
i see you coming down
i'm scared
i'm running free,
i'm running free
you can't catch me,
i'm running free
i'm running free,
away from you
there's no way,
there's no way
(there's no way
to get from here)
-----------
3. Crashing Waves
every night
i try to hide
but now i know
there's nowhere
safe to go
my insides
melt and boil:
got to get some
medical attention
the devil wants in,
no, don't let him
it's not my fault
it's not my mistake
keep myself in line
for the treasure i'll
never find
once again
i'm an actor
in this play:
make me blow my top.
make me tear things up.
now i know
who my real
friends are
(keep your distance
if you need to -
i'll remember to
quickly replace you)
-----------
4. Surge
you don't know me
you just think
that you do.
now it's time
to learn
something new.
you can watch me
but you won't
see a thing
incriminate me
again.
separation anxiety
(separation)
separated from me.....
you can't stop me
i'll return again
and hang over
your grave.
as a ghost,
i can do anything.
(i'm living like i'm
already dead)
separation anxiety.
(separated)
separation anxiety.
separated
from me.....
-----------
5. Frustrate
sunshine makes me forget
to be myself
don't ask me to change
when i'm stuck in
this rut
my overprotection
keeps me warm
in the room
it's always cold
i never meant
to do no harm
but, that story's
getting old
tear me
from my past
help me
forget my pain
pain that's not
here today
pain that will
never disappear
my overprotection
keeps me warm
in the room
it's always cold
i never meant
to do no harm
but, that story's
getting old
(oh, but i know
that story's old)
but, that's how
it goes.....
-----------
6. Sparking
don't you fear
it's not possible now
even here
where pain surrounds
(i'm not lying down
i'm not on my knees
today.)
locked in here,
i'm trapped in these
four walls.
every year
since i "fell off".
(i'm not lying down
i'm not on my knees
today.
today!)
guess you'd better come my way.....
-----------
7. Street I Die On
paint me
a picture
of how we're
getting out of here,
out where there's sun:
out to the sun
tell me a story
make it a good one
i want to get out
to the sun, yeah
to the street,
out to the street:
it's the street
i die on
film me
a TV show
i want you
to be the star
i want you to
be in my
home
back to the street,
the street:
it's the street
i die on
(it's the street,
i die.)
-----------
8. Drifting Into
take a break,
pick me up
i think i'm broke,
i need some help.
give me something
i can believe in.....
i don't want
an empty cup,
regardless of how
i see it straight
i don't want
someone to
guide me
(just need some help.)
don't give me
a slamming door
i can't take
that anymore
i don't think
i've looked that
way again
i'll stay here,
and you'll run by
i'll just sit
and wonder why
you can never
even see me
(just need some help.)
-----------
9. Again and Again
you left me
dying
on my knees
a gut wound
and i bleed
so many
times we tried
to fly straight:
watched our love
turn to hate,
and i know:
it's happening
again and again,
it's happening
again.
go ahead and
push now
break out from
your restraints
but don't
follow me,
i'll just lead
to hate.
now we're
floating on
an island
of fear.
he'll try to
make it that
much nearer,
and i know:
it's happening
again and again,
it's happening
again.
it's happened to me
again and again
it's happening
again.
it's happening
again.
-----------
10. So Distant
and when i
got to sleep:
there's no one
there.
and when i
wake up:
there's no one
there.
and when i
die, there's
no one there.
and as i
live:
no one cares.
get out of view
get out of the radar
get out of view,
i don't want to see you.
get out of view
get out of the radar
i don't want to see you.
restart and
rewind,
give up
and start again.
give up my
time:
anything to end.
get out of view
get out of the radar
get out of view,
i don't want to see you.
get out of view
get out of the radar
get out of view
yeah yeah
yeah
been fighting a war
been losing my head
oh, i need more,
before i'm dead.....
-----------
11. 12am
i'm not ready
for this day:
a celebration
of how many ways
i've come across
isolation.
every day
it's all the same
every day,
it's all the same
every day
it's all the same,
every day.....
i've come around
i've dug right through
my "own place" now.
(everyone just thought
they knew,
but i proved them wrong.)
every day
it's all the same
every day,
it's all the same
every day
it's all the same,
every day.....
every day.
-----------
12. Horsefeather
there's a way
to understand,
i know:
just have to
find a proper
path.....
doing things,
plan them out,
get the goal:
it's what i need.
(it's what i need.)
give myself
another break:
now it's all
in slow-mo.
got to get
the engine
running.....
hoping for
a path that
i can recognize:
it's what i need.
(it's what i need.)
(GIVE IT UP.)
-----------
13. Frightful
signs of life
are lost
on me.
there's
no one
who can put
up with me:
i'm frightful.
it's time
to swallow
the hate
in me.....
(take your aim,
aim at me,
take your shot:
shoot me down.
shoot me down.
shoot to KILL.)
-----------
14. It Seems Today
it seems today
as if i'm about
to jump below.
(i'm trying hard
to get rid
of these ideas.)
and i'm not awake
and i'm not alive
and i'm not awake
i can't survive
it seems today
like i can throw
this world away.
(but if i did
it's start again
and replay.)
and i'm not okay
and i'm not alright
and i don't know a thing
i don't know if i'm right
-----------
15. Good Feeling
(a Violent Femmes song)
good feeling
won't you
stay with me
just a little longer?
always seems like
you're leaving
when i need
you here
just a little longer
dear lady
there are so
many things
that i have
come to fear
a little voice
says i'm going crazy
seeing all my worlds
disappear
vaque sketch
of a fantasy
laughing at
the sunrise
like he's been up
all night
oh, slippin'
and slidin'
what a good time,
but now,
have to
find a bed
that can take
this wait
good feeling
won't you
stay with me
just a little longer?
you know, it
always seems like
you're leaving
when i know
the other one
just a little
too well
oh, dear lady
won't you
stay with me
just a little longer?
it always seems like
you're leaving
when i need
you here
just a little longer.
