It turns out everybody else
Is just as fickle
As I am when I wanna melt
Mix, and mingle
The pace is fast you never see
People slow dance
At my age you just don't believe
In love and romance

Watch the sun touch hands with the moon
And switch like a tag team fight
You prepare for the battle as you trade
Your face of the day for your face of the night

See the kids on the town
All they wanna do is drown
In a place where your feelings never show
All your love for your mate
Ain't a need to procreate
Just your parts and that feeling down below

When we lock eyes and reel it in
It's so exciting
Your runway legs, they guide me in
It's so inviting
When either heart begins to swell
You let the blood out
A mis-match never ended well
But, now you're thawed out

I don't even know what I want

06 - Just Your Parts

Gotta reason
To investigate your lies
Gotta feeling
By tomorrow this thing dies
Gotta yearning
To unveil conspiracies
But I've been learning
That the truth won't set you free

And I've gotta say
There is nothing I could
Say to you at all
To make this any more or
Less dysfunctional
I'm not gonna stay
You keep trapping friends
Inside your horror house
I'll pretend to be a
Lion not a mouse
I've gotta go

Had a feeling
After freshly shaken hands
You'd be someone
Making devious demands
I gotta listen
To this spidey sense of mine
It's been working for me
Almost half the time

I've gotta reject the Sunday blues
I'll resurrect my dancing shoes
My intellect will have no use
For the day
I've gotta collapse my fold out chair
Follow the maps and I'll be there
Time will elapse and I'll lose hair
So they say

05 - Gotta

Watchya doin' with your pockets inside out
Won't you tell me what this look is all about
When did your bank account turn into a charity fund
If you read the minds of these crooks you would be stunned

Your big heart leaves you wide open
An easy target for
Mosquitoes who are hopin'
That they can drain some more
You can't just leave it open
They got their Trojan horse
When you invest your hope in
By then, you've lost the war

Whatchya doin' givin' up your John Hancock
At this rate by next week you'll be out of stock
Read the fine print maybe then you'll understand
You lose an arm and leg by moving your right hand

02 - Big Heart, Easy Target

So, it looks like I'm gonna die
And there's nothing I can do
I don't get to stay alive
Looks like I've gotta follow suit
Get's me thinking
Gotta find me
A rooftop with a bird's eye view
So that I can sort out
What I'm gonna do

I'm getting sick of playing it safe
And I think I'm about to crack
But, if I run outta the gate
Baby, there's no coming back
You ever feel like
You were born to
Do just on particular thing
Well, that's me and I've been
Waiting in the wings

It's only a matter of the time it takes
Before I break
Nobody on earth can keep his soul alive
From nine to five
So if you could be there when
The cards come down
And I look like a clown
Then it's alright

What makes a guy feel so afraid
Is it the monster under the bed
Is it just the way he was made
Or just a poison in his head
I love the stories
Where the hero
Is just brave 'cause it's what he should do
I bet I could be that
Brave if I wanted to

I sit here and watch the clock devour days
Potential fades
I've got a deposit of regretted stuff
That's building up
But, soon it'll overflow
And I'll be here
To tidy all the fear
Then it's alright

So, it looks like I'm gonna die
And there's nothing I can do
I don't get to stay alive
Looks like I've gotta follow suit
It's not an issue
Get me a tissue
'Cause I wine like a little kid
But I can let this become
The thing I never did

01 - Vantage Point

Life's on the table
It's always a losing game
I'm left here naked
I'll do it all again
Take all my money
Park it upon the red
One glass of havoc
Goes straight to my head

It's all in the fire
The ignition is
Deep inside of your soul
When you're losing it
Running out of control
Keep it burning with
Useless things you own
When it's haunting you then
Just forget about it

When I'm feeling cozy
And all things are going well
It hits me like a
Big catapault from hell
When I'm feeling shaky
This body's not even mine
No, it's property of
The chaos in my life

04 - Beetlejuice

I've been stumbling 'round this dusty old town
An older man is telling me to get out
He says it's ugly and the smell sticks around
And there are a million things to cry about
Come to think of it when I look around
Everyone seems like he'd rather be dead
Too many rules, not a smile to be found
But I think I might catch one if I stand on my head

I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no
I'm not wasting my time for this
I'm not standing in line for this, no

Every moment I've been watching my back
Trying to figure out a plan of attack
Big brother doesn't knock at my door
He wants a battle but he's getting a war
Paranoia is what drives my life
It's like a man behind my back with a knife
I'm not one to go down without a fight
But he's saying he'll stab me if I don't get it right

I'm not throwing my life away
I'll start doing my job today
I'll jump hoops and I'll go to school
Learning loopholes to every rule

I've found something that never ends
The lineup starts on the left, my friends
Come one, come all, see me now
I've become something else somehow

08 - Behind My Back With A Knife

Walking out in the sun
Tripping over my feet again
'Cause clumsy is back in style
Today I opened my mouth
Ran a race with my tongue again
And tripped on every mile
I wish I had some more friends
Who understand I'm a lunatic
But I've got feelings too
My disposition depends
On what I have to look forward to
I'm telling you

The real me
Is buried under layers of crazy
I can't decide
On how to let someone inside
Everyone might be better off
Unexposed to me and my insanity

With every person I meet
I grow a new personality
It's twisted I guess but it's true
I like to lie in my bed
Contemplating reality
When I've nothing else to do
These little oddities are
Just embelishments of a mind
That's otherwise perfectly fine
I'm not that sort of a guy
Who will do what he's supposed to do
I'm telling you

It's not so simple to solve
But it's a challenge I'm up to take
Just give me the steps and I'm good
I always thought that a man
Could live the life that he chose to create
And I always thought I could
I guess if I feel alone
It's just 'cause I don't get out enough
So tomorrow I'll open the door
And pretend it's a good world
For only a little while
'Til it transforms

11 - Otherwise Perfectly Fine

Never once have I had confirmation
That the the pieces I arrange would fit
Never before have I faced contemplation
Of the fact that I'll never get it
Simple things can make me happy
But when they go away
I am left with the thought
That I'll never see the day
They come back my way

And is it taking up my life

It's summertime and the sun's looking cool
Under sunglasses he's winking at me
He says, Go ahead now don't be a fool
The world is yours for the taking, take what you need
I don't know where I should go
But I know that I'm free
From now on I will treasure the way
That the pieces don't fit
They dissolve and decay

And is it shaping up my life

12 - Kape

Wake up to the sirens in your head
They're screaming to get you out of bed
They're smart enough to get the better of you
When you're not awake
Hot enough to make you
Wish that you had stayed

Remember a place where you have been
It's eating you underneath your skin
The kinda place you just discover
When your eyelids wanna close
The kinda place you know that
No one else has known

And when you go there you're a hostage to the
Things that occur
It's never logical but you neglect to
Think it over

'Cause in your dreams
The world you love is knocking on your door
Then it seems
The feeling you get you just can't ignore

Let go of documentaries in your head
Replace them with a comic book instead
All your senses could betray you
If you shift your train of thought
Make you feel you're somewhere beatiful
When you're not

And you're afraid you might get swallowed up
Or squeezed 'till you're blue
But then again ain't that a notion you've been
Getting used to

In the real world you're never there
You're obsessed with it
So take some sleep-time medication it's a
Fast track ticket
