Who's that around the corner
She's caught between anger and despair
Don't tell me your problems
please don't share, I don't care
Whoa
She called me over
I'd obey just like a poor old dog, no noose
I know she's bailing
These words destroy the youth,
I know it's sad but it's the truth
Whoa, and you need to find a friend
Don't sign your life away my dear friend
Carry on just like the bag in the wind
la la la la la la la
these orange pills
where'd we derail
we once found comfort in our pain 
I still have visions
out your nose when on your knees
your taste is my disease


Bags in the Wind

shut the fuck up

every morning I wake up stuck in a trance
put on my new sunglasses and I zip up my new shants
it's not a habit no, it's just my new routine
I smoke another cigarette and pour me some caffeine

shut the fuck up

I'm shunny one but I still act like I'm sixteen
fresh out of mental rehab yeah you bet your ass I'm clean
I miss it so much but I swear I miss you more
I passed out on the concrete man god damn my head is sore

shut the fuck up
I just don't care

Obnoxious (Shut the Fuck Up)

Where have you been hiding
let me in your room
open up the wardrobe
dust me with your broom
i don't want to find you
anymore anyway

Can you feel the hate
Can you carry the weight upon your shoulders
just like you used to

Where have you been running
far away from here
open up the car door
let me taste your fear
I don't wanna find you
anymore anyway

Splash Of Cran

Strange, it feels so strange
lately I've been looking toward this guy
so deranged, far out of range
I feel so strange
Basic, it's how I've been
God knows that I've been trying
still coming up with nothing
still coming up with nothing
Meet me by the playground

Hey Kate
It was nice to know you
though I never knew you
it's nice to dream
Hey Kate
it was nice to know you
Old carolina
where you can dream

Safe, I play it safe
Life just isn't fair
and you cut your hair
and it looks SO good

Hey Kate
it was nice to know you
though I never knew you
It's nice to dream
Hey Kate
it was nice to know you
old carolina
where we can dream


Hey Kate!

What do ya know
I think I formed another habit
Wake up, lube it, grab it
I'm not proud
just excited and demented
or maybe I'm just proud
whatever

Easy does it
I think I love it
I cheated you the whole time
Easy does it
Not above it
tag with your friends in my mind

bathroom stall
sipping the alcohol
these movies, they still suck
pay no mind
pay no money no attention
don't need an intervention
whatever


Midas Sixty Nidus

(remastered from the original off Flint Hill Chillville)

Give it time she said in doubt
heard the words play through her mouth
the taste came sour from her tongue
Listen to the thoughts I bring
left our bodies warm in sting
the kind of sting that felt so young

I'm dependent on the strife
the kind of hate that frees a life
from self righteous haunting past
I'm addicted to the voice
not by chance and not by choice
the kind of voice that seems to last


Chillville

Sticks & Stoners

Where's been all my old friends
what's been living for
don't recall much recently
never see you at the door
never sing old songs no more
gets me thinking in blue
one lapse of memory, and I'm brand new
pace yourself, know things get old not after long
or so I hear, I'm stuck out here in a city of wrong
and I got nothing to fear
if I'm not too near
Whatcha say, don't do it again, don't forget my name
No worries, falling flat on the floor, nothing ever felt the same
and we got nothing to fear
if we don't stay too near.

Good Graces

Wake up pitter patter
smush a bug and watch it splatter
six or seven weep or sob
spread some butter on the cob
twelve o'clock I'm trying to sleep
shut your mouth I'm counting sheep
milk and chips midnight charades
the bed is soaked the wet dream fades
shut your eyes and count to ten
just like junior high again
stroking it like seventh grade
daydreams mimic getting laid
finish supper wash your plate
take a shower, marinate
pissing in the parking lot
around the corner smoking pot

This place reeks of stale memories
and I know I can't cure this disease
It won't rest
it just needs

can't sleep jibber jabber 
take it easy on the bladder
meet my shrink once every week
she listens to the words I speak
she tells me not to be afraid
my hours up my money's paid
drive home to my favorite tune
the haze I'm in will vanish soon
It's getting bright, I'll shut the shade
cut my face with razor blade
I don't got not facial hair
It's not my fault, so I don't care
She left me here, there's no one home
take some time to write a poem
knowing that she'll never hear
tilt one back and sip a beer

The sun came out to play
Stayed inside all day
listening to Adam's song
And when it starts to rain
the moisture numbs my pain
I can't help but smile


Childhood Graffiti

you don’t know just what my week’s consisted of
don’t smile and look at me like that, 
I’m not high like that, no no, not today
head down at the dinner table, not hungry, I’ll eat later
please tell me any more about this problem you have
head full of all your fables, not present, I’ll see ya later
please tell me all the rest when I’ve had a bit to drink

I don’t care which direction you head in
just make sure you don’t stop on your way out
I don’t notice, you still chose this
just to please him once more 
though your mouth's growing sore

don’t plant things just to watch them die, months go by 
you sink into despair, into the air, goodbye
you say things just to track a smile, and all the while
your crossing hearts behind, and it’s no wonder why
down in the depths of your mellow, my eyes are turning yellow,
you’re just a doll with no expression left to give in your eyes
down in this so called hell and, all the words I hear us yelling
and I’ll just set myself aside and take it by surprise


no wonder

my mouth's dry as hell
I'm something can't you tell
I'm not going into work today
guess I'll just stand awhile
eyes white and crack a smile
I know I'm good

I'm up today
Stay up too late
Up way too late

my brain puzzle pieces
I need answers Jesus
I'm not calling out of work today
wait here, not for long
tell me where I went wrong
know where I stand

I'm up today, up tomorrow and the next day after that.

my mouth's dry as hell
I'm something can't you tell

my eyes wander quickly, white lightning came and bit me
I'm just burning time away
The sun and I been rising, sleep sounds so appetizing
I'll be back, just let it stay


I'm up today
Stay up too late
Up way too late

Up Late in Applegreen

I miss my old bed sheet
my drive to work down Ward Street
Don't we all do the best we can
I need you no more than
I've ever needed any friend
it turned into the worst it could
as it should
Well I'll be, and it aint
I'm a crook, I'm a saint
steal heart, hard to tame
through this blood feel my shame
Ooohhh.

I bet you thought I was talking to you
fuck me, looking up, never bothering to
maybe say one thing, I was talking to myself
Bet you thought I was thinking of you
reach out no doubt I can spoil the view
maybe say one thing, I was thinking of myself

I bet you thought I was fucking with you
no time for that, I been stuck in a loop
can you forget how I can never help myself?
Bet you thought I was fucking with you
no time for that, been sucking aloof
can you forget how I can never help myself?

the story goes so I've been told
your promise is as good as gold
your word to me is my own word to myself

talking to myself
thinking of myself
can't see I need help
