1. Rearrange


All along we knew the answerīs all along
Why did it take you so long, I hear you say
It all depends on how your point of view can change
Round and round, rearrange
All the while I feel like I could go either way
Behind your back, I just may
I donīt count the days
All along I didnīt listen physically
Iīve come to find whatīs not mine
I thought was a given
All along I could do anything
Anything without you, anyway



2. From Your Mouth


Sometimes lifeīs not fair, I correct myself I mean
All the time I feel like complaining but it only bothers you
The things I do they make your blood run cold

Thereīs a lot of things that no one likes but, I want the
Answers now, must be all confused somehow, did you
Say what I heard about? Iīve heard a million
Things gossips being sent to me I donīt wanna
Believe it, until I hear it from your mouth

Tell me why are you friendly to my face, what I mean
Is barely nice, when Iīm not around hear you like to put me down
Embarrassment is what I get



3. Canīt Come Down


Starve myself from poison love memories
With traces of what knocked me out
Knocked me out
Act as if Iīm just alright, but Iīve already lost my sight
And youīre treading ground without a sound

Something for nothing, I know that I havenīt given
You know that I havenīt risen above
Please believe me, round and round, hear the sound
Reality crashing into me, I hear the sound
But I canīt come down

Fight for love or love to fight never knew my wrong
From right, patiently, I wait for the day
When it hits me hardest yet and itīs real not
Second best my hearts for you
You know itīs true



4. Alone Again


The past few years have been so trying
Between the drugs and the drinking and the touring
In my eyes Iīm stabilized, and all I need is you
Someone who understands
I know you now
The shortest yet and we just met
I thought that youīd be different then again
You came on strange but still the same as what I know
I try and try and then Iīm alone again
Now my lifeīs become a challenge
And all my confidence has been decreased profoundly
In my mind Iīve realized Iīm stuck on a worthless hill
With no one who understands



5. Behavior Modification


Morals so undefined
New schemes to undermine
He likes to leave a burn
So much for live and learn
My savior and his low behavior
Some day everybody owes me a favor
If the look on my face is any indication
I keep giving in to temptation
He creates a false pretense
That it was self defense
He just canīt mask the flavor
My savior and his low behavior



6. The Rush Is Loud


They saw him from the rooftops
They saw him from way up there
They just couldnīt come down to where he was
They studied for years on end
They were always confused
They just couldnīt believe how he abused himself
Itīs with us all the time
How he abused himself
And we abuse ourselves
They took lots of pictures
Hidden microphones
All he wanted was to be left alone
After years of footage and miles of tape
Theyīre on their way down to him
And he canīt wait to be with them all the time
We abuse ourselves and he abused himself
Itīs with us all the time
He abused himself and we abuse ourselves
They were looking for answers to all the hints he sent
There were way too many to document
They settled on a theory that we all knew
We just hide the fact that we abuse ourselves
Shot in the arm or shot in the head
Itīs killing me or all my friends
It spreads like a disease
We all become with ease
Blood balloons like a mushroom cloud
The rush is loud
The rush is loud



7. Dress Rehearsal For Reproduction


Itīs cold outside
But not cold enough
I wish that it was winter
And behind my eyes
The muscles control the movement
To a place surrounding you
To be with you
To be in motion
Itīs wide outside
But not wide enough
I wish that I was thinner
Suffice to say I should pray for a colder sun and a brighter moon
All for you
And be in motion



8. Happy?


Everydayīs the same since Iīve been alone
Everyday I wait for you
But youīre never coming home

And I hope that youīre happy
At least one of us is
Maybe someday youīll see
I need you to save me from myself

Everyday I swear that I see you
Everywhere I go, I know my mind plays tricks on me
And thatīs something that you know



9. Vapors


I live under a sky of angels
Bulletproof vest of all my dangers
Iīve been deceived by all the flowers-planted around me
Sweet smell replaced by all the vapors
Everyday you think I live a lie
You think I want to die
But canīt you see Iīm what I want to be
Iīve been misunderstood about my being around
I canīt seem to stop letting people down
Or thatīs what they say
I still donīt care about them or what theyīre thinking
Itīs not fair for anyone to believe them or me or the papers
Now I know what my destiny is
Itīs the ultimate rift in the littlewill I have
Iīm not gonna last till the end
Iīm still my only friend
Now I know what to do



10. Medicated To The One I Love


I just canīt figure myself out
Or whatīs surrounding me
Or what I surround myself with
A 2 ton fist is pushing me to the streets again
Looking for relief in my restricted state
I wake from dreams of high before I rush by a crush I have on you
Youīre a lover most true
Iīm falling off again
Youīll always be my friend
She never lies but she eats me alive
Elastic mind that always bends for my drug of choice
I think I hear her voice
Itīs like pixies and angels and cocteau twins so beautifully sung
But itīs a noose sheīs hung

Thanks man
