Bomb
With blankness staring back at me
And screaming from the pages
I feel the fear of apathy
Gripping me, pushing me
On top of everything
In the corner with a view
I turn off the fluorescent tubes
-Chorus-
This is the bomb that I’ve been waiting for
Looking for
You finally lit the fuse that’s in my head
Yes, you finally lit the fuse that’s in my head
With nothingness on top of me
Bleeding from my folder
Only you can stop the emptiness
Don’t let it take me over
I’ve been sinking now
Further into nothing
I’ve been waiting long
Longer than for some things
Chem 6A
Nothing but a chemical in my head
Nothing but laziness
I don’t wanna read the book
I’ll watch the movie
‘Cause it’s not me
I’m just like everybody else my age
I think I’d rather play around
And I think I’d rather watch TV
‘Cause I don’t wanna face my fears
I’ll watch the movie
‘Cause it’s not me
I’m just like everybody else
-Chorus-
Because I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna see this now
It’s all wrong but it’s all right
I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna study now
It’s all wrong but it’s all right
I don’t know what love is
And I don’t know who I am
And if I ever want to find out
I’ll watch the movie
‘Cause it’s not me
I’m just like everybody else my age
I don’t wanna change the world
And I don’t wanna be someone
And I don’t wanna write the book
I’ll make the movie
‘Cause it’s not me
I’m just like everybody else
Underwater
It’s in her head
It’s in her mind
She can’t believe it
Can’t believe she’s running out of time
And any hold that she can find
Something to lean on
Everybody fails her half the time
Nothing to be
She’s already been
Plenty of time
Lights her candle
Six A.M.
Starting a new one
Everyone new one hits her
Just the same
Just like clockwork
She climbs down into her bottle
No one down there cares to know her name
-Chorus-
She’s underwater
Nowhere now
Underwater upside down
The rising tide won’t find her now
She’s lost and found
Underwater
She’s underwater
But she won’t drown
She can’t believe it
And everyone she meets
Feels just the same
It takes all day
To get to tonight
What makes the sunset
And what makes it go back
To where it came
She’s underwater
Nowhere now
She’s underwater
Upside down
The rising tide won’t
Find her now
She’s lost and found
Now she’s upside down
Now she’s six feet down
Underwater
Edge of My Seat
Nothing more
That there’s nothing more
Nothing here’s the same
It’s all a dream
Life on a movie screen
And I’m sitting on the
Edge of my seat
I can’t tell what happens next
Just what I’ve seen
Don’t know what it means
But I’m holding on the
Edge of my seat
-Chorus-
I can’t forget your name
Forget your name
Yeah, I can’t forget you
Now I know
I can’t forget you girl
I promise
Sit back, buckle in
And hold on tight
A roller coaster ride
And I’m holding on the
Edge of my seat
And I don’t know for sure
‘Cause I just landed
On your shore
But I think you’ve got nothing
But another thing comin’
If you think there’s nothing more
That there’s nothing more
Home
It’s a long way from Miami to LA
It’s a longer way from yesterday
To where I am today
It’s a long way from my thoughts
To what I’ll say
It’s a long, long way from paradise
To where I am today
All that’s in my head
Is in Your hands
It’s a long way from
The moon up to the sun
It’s a longer road ahead of me
The road that I’ve begun
Stop to think of all the
Time I’ve lost
Start to think of all the
Bridges that I’ve burned
That must be crossed
Over, over, over
Take me over
- Chorus –
I’ve been poison
I’ve been rain
I’ve been fooled again
I’ve seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I’ll see home
Home, home
I can see the stars
From way down here
But I can’t fall asleep
Behind the wheel
It’s a long way from the
Shadows in my cave
Up to Your reality to
Watch the sunlight taking over, over
Taking over, take me over
All that’s in my head,
Is in Your hands
If it’s in my head,
It’s in Your hand
Might Have Ben Hur
Everything I know
Tells me she’s everything
That I could hope for
Everything I know
Tells me I can’t let her
Walk away
I took my time to find the words
I hoped she’d feel the same
- Chorus –
‘Cause I want someone to
Share my smile
To share the pain
To be there when the sea turns gray
To share the joy
For better or worse
And I thought that it
Might have been her
Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul
Light up my life
Wonder if she knows
Of the pain I feel tonight
Concrete Girl
Bleeding thoughts
Cracking boulder
Don’t fall over
Fake your laughter
Burn the tear
Sing it louder,
Twist and shout
Way up here
We stand on shoulders
Growing colder
Laugh or cry
I won’t mind
Sing it louder,
Twist and shout
- Chorus –
Immovable shadows
Concrete girl
They’ll rock your world
To nothing
And they’re swimming
Around again, again
And they’re swimming
Around again, again
And they’re swimming
Around the concrete girl
Catch your breath
Like a four leaf clover
Hand it over
Scream to no one
Take your time
Sing it louder
Twist and shout
Nothing to run from
Is worse then something
And all your fears of nothing
And they’re swimming around again, again
And they’re swimming
Around the concrete girl
Concrete girl, don’t fall down
In this broken world around you
Concrete girl, don’t fall down
Don’t fall down
My concrete girl
Don’t stop thinking
Don’t stop feeling
One step away
From where we were
And one step back
To nothing and we’re standing on top
Of our hopes and fears
And we’re fighting for words now
Concrete girl
And we’re swimming around again, again
And we’re swimming around now
Concrete girl
Life and Love and Why
Life and love and why
Child, adult, then die
All of your hoping
And all of your searching
For what?
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I’m willing to die for
Take away from me
This monstrosity
‘Cause my futile thinking’s
Not gonna solve nothing tonight
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I’m willing to die for
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Could it be all that
I ever had missed
Could it be true
Can life be new
And can I be used
Can I be used
Give me a reason
For life and for death
A reason for drowning
While I hold my breath
Something to laugh at
A reason to cry
With everyone hopeless
And hoping for something
To hope for
Yeah, with something to hope for
Could it be true
Can life be new
Could it be all that I am
Is in You
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Can it be You
Can it be You
You
There’s always something in the way
There’s always something getting through
But it’s not me
It’s You
Sometime’s ignorance
Rings true
But hope is not in what I know
It’s not in me
It’s in You
It’s all I know
I find peace when I’m confused
I find hope when I’m let down
Not in me, Me,
But In You
I hope to lose myself for good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me Me,
In You
It’s all I know
Ode to Chin
What’s your direction
Tell me what’s wrong
Tell me what’s right
What’s your direction
Think about somebody else for the night
Life’s more then girls
God’s more then words
You’re more than this
So what’s your direction
Where are you now
Grow, grow where you are
Anchor your roots underneath
“Doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs”
What’s your direction
All that you’ve been makes you are now
‘Cause I’ve been ashamed
I’ve been a fool, you know I’ve backed down
When I lose direction
I pray to be found
Don’t Be There
Don’t be there
Don’t be there
‘Cause I’m on my way
And I’m already gone over
And I’m on my way
- Bridge -
And I can’t recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself?
I’m down here
And you’re way up there
But that doesn’t hurt badly
But it stings right here
- Chorus -
And I won’t pretend there’s
Nothing there
You be around and I’ll be square
Don’t be alarmed if I’m not there
You be around and I’ll be square
If you’re a rose
Then I’m the thorn
That’s in your side
And does it hurt badly
‘Cause it burns right here
I’d like to say hello
I’d like to say I care
I’d like to let you know
That nothing here’s the same with me
Nothing here’s the same
Don’t be around
Don’t be there
