Teacher teacher will you let me go
It's 4:00 and I want to go home

You told me not to tell a soul
To do exactly what I'm told
All to earn a passing grade

Teacher teacher you promised me an A
To do exactly what you say

Could you find somebody else
Someone who loves you for yourself
And not to earn a passing grade

Teacher teacher please put on your clothes
I'm so ashamed and I want to go home

Teacher Teacher

Ascetic
c.2002 JT

Caught by your chastity
Caught by the lines that you've thrown
On the outside you're lovely
But inside the ugly has grown

Grown
Yeah
Now I know

You're burning my heart 
And you're burning the bridges you've made
Forget the times we've spent
Forget the tears that I gave

I gave
Yeah
Now I know
Who you are
Now I know
You are made of stone

Caught by your innocence
You believed all the lies you were told
On the outside you're lovely
But inside the ugly has grown

Shallow (Gotta Get Away)
c2006 JT

Count the blessings in your life and make them go away
Find yourself an empty glass and send us all astray
You will never be the same

And all the lies that you embrace; You bite the hand that feeds
All the lines that comfort you and bring you to your knees
We could never make you see

So take it
And break it
You spent your life to make it
You're lonely just like me
So fake it
And break it
Your loneliness can't take it
You're shallow; you can't stay clean
Gotta get away

You never wanna keep it straight
There's nothing left to find
All that haunts your bleeding soul
Is all but left behind
Does it ever cross your mind

Chorus

Shallow (Gotta Get Away)

She always dreams in shadows
She never pics her battles
She only lives in black and white
Her life amounts to nothing
To her its always something
It makes me wanna lose my mind

She's got a hole in her heart
She's got a hole in her soul
She just falls apart
She just loves to, loves to roll

She's always feeling lazy
She's sleezy and she's crazy
I cannot seem to find the time
To worry about the drama
Exactly like her mama
Everybody's out of line

Chorus

Jen Tobey's Alter-Ego - Hole In Her Heart

Finding Home (JT vox)

This hotel room ain't got no love
Been down so long can't get enough
Find a way
To make me stay
Times like this are not enough

Days go by Im not the same
Something about you made me change
So alive
For you I try
Times like this are not enough

These city walls ain't got no love
It seems we both can't get enough
Its been so long
And though its wrong
Times like this are not enough

Times Like This (original demo)

Leaving Town
written by Jen Tobey

I come from broken worlds apart
Remember all the times I lost my heart
I think about it everyday
Suffer from the scars I threw away

I'm leaving town
No more faces I wanna see around
I've been down so long
If you only knew
I needed you
Right now

Brighter days will never come
When you think your world is falling down
Words from friends are not enough
When everybody kills to push you down

Chorus

Single

Jen Tobey - Leaving Town (demo)

Feeling summer closing in
I wanna feel your skin again
Falling faster than I'd hoped for
Crossing lines and getting nowhere

Hey, yay, yeah
Never want to die

Shattered lines of verse and phases
Crossing words out on the pages
Taking care of something sacred
Unappreciated smiles have faded

Yay, yay, yeah
Never want to die
Can you come with me
And never say goodbye

Feeling summer closing in
I want to see your smile again
Tell me how but speak in silence
I'd give my heart, if I could find it...

Chorus

Bill's Song (Move On)
Jen Tobey - ©2001

Lay to rest in your bed
I can tell you lost your head

So it's time
Blow out your candle
Open the window
Let us move on

And I can feel it closing in
And all my thoughts corrode my skin

Chorus

Did it make you feel alright
And I'm so scared to say goodbye

Chorus
