The Movies

i thought i'd go away
you let me stay
the movies scare me
help me come down
you didn't care about
what i could do
if i left with all your secrets
i'll let it go for now
all the things in my car be damned
if you really mean what you say
then i don't have to find another way
i thought i'd go away
you let me stay
the movies scare me

Why Should I Speak
03:50
|
|||
|
you don't ever
take me for my words and my actions
why do i
why do i speak
not so clever
not too hard to have your beliefs
why should i
why should i speak
when i'm already guilty
of what you perceive
i've had a lot of time to think about
the way it all turned out
and how i've lived without
any trust and any confidence from you
i've had a lot of time to think about
the way it all turned out
and how i've lived without
any trust and any confidence from you
not so clever
not too hard to have your beliefs
why should i
why should i speak
when i'm already guilty
of what you perceive
why should i
why should i speak

Thunder

you taught me well
to be afraid
what would i do
but listen to what you say
it's what i want
to feel good
and i hear the storm
over the woods
and i feel alright
don't pass the time
when i hear the thunder
i hear the thunder
you're running wild
and calm your child
he only wonders why you cry
you saving face
is what i gave
and what a selfish way
to never repay
and i feel alright
don't pass the time
when i hear the thunder
i hear the thunder
you're running wild
and calm your child
he only wonders why you cry
(you are never gonna get to me, never gonna get to me
like you did when i was younger, i was younger then)
you never let it go
you never let it

Not Over It
03:27
|
|||
|
get off your
"make me better"
you're making me sad
the lessons tell me i'm bad
and i'm so bored
and i'd rather leave
and if you wanna ask me
i'm not over it
but i really wanna be
it's the last thing i need
and if you lowered your stubborn will
swallow a hard pill
and make it easier on the rest of us
i'm not over it
nine a.m. it's later still
but all your faces make me wake up at night
let up
you're just as fed up as i am
oh, well now it's a show
and we have to go
you never ask me
you never ask me
so i'm not over it
so i'm not over it
so i'm not over it
but i really wanna be
it's the last thing i need
and if you lowered your stubborn will
swallow a hard pill
and make it easier on the rest of us
i'm not over it
i'm not over it
make me better
make me better

I Lost My Soul
04:36
|
|||
|
i am just a product of
your rich thought that you put forth
and abandoned
i have plated new theories
and i only taste your mind
i am growing thinner still
until i realize i am disappearing
oh, i have lost my soul
i have lost my soul
how do i
how do i
and all i want is to bring in the new
and out the old
"my religion"
bringing me all the way to hear and now
and all i want is to bring in the new
and out the old
"my religion"
bringing me all the way to hear and now
light up all the candles from your altar
in the corner grabbing dust
oh, i was on a journey then
now i'm starting over again
i could pray to any name or anything
that wants to make a promise
oh, i have lost my soul
i have lost my soul
oooooooooooo
ooooo
how do i
how do i
and all i want is to bring in the new
and out the old
"my religion"
bringing me all the way to hear and now
and all i want is to bring in the new
and out the old
"my religion"
bringing me all the way to hear and now

Promises
04:18
|

do holidays bring you together
do weddings make you stay forever
does tradition keep you from losing your mind
to celebrate or make a promise
to hug and kiss and laugh and vomit
have it your way for a lifetime
the role of mother and father of mine
and i'm caught in a sea of flesh and blood
telling me who i am
who i was
i'm twelve and i don't need a god who forgives and loves
does giving take the pain away
to pray the devil stays away
is religion sought out from your depths and core
if your belief is who you are
how did you not search some more
have it your way formed by your past
and i'm caught in a sea of flesh and blood
telling me who i am
who i was
i'm twelve and i don't need a god who forgives and loves
from losing your mind
i'm twelve and i don't need a god who forgives and loves

Devil Language
03:44
|
|||
|
love like poison
melting snow
grass with stickers
never stopped growth
and i was very fond of all my surroundings
didn't like what people carried
all the stubborn ways to move and latch their bodies
oooooo
daring sequel to your notes
you've made it far
and have further more to go
devil language speak through my recorder
she saw me press rewind
and saw the devil in me
they found the devil in me
she saw the devil in me
they found the devil in me

i spent my time
trying
just to lose my mind
i felt the earth
tugging back like i was hurt
and i keep on walking back
over the window
and i felt that priest-like presence
over the weak and cold
and i felt that priest-like presence
over the weak and cold
i felt the earth
tugging back like i was hurt
and i keep on walking back
over the window
and i felt that priest-like presence
over the weak and cold
