Change me from the inside
I don't want to be what I been
I know that I just need a spark
I resist everything except sin

A false start, fumbling in the dark
A knock down, get up and start over
I don't want to get used to it
I feel the signs flying, moving it

I sense them kids in the yard
I see the rhythm retard
My eyes are bloodshot staring at the edge of the world
But when the sunlight gives way to moonlight
I feel a rush

So did you really not know how this was gonna go?
I heard a voice whispering, "Listen!"
But it said no more
Them princes grow bold when plans are unfolded
Would that we had the heart to finish what we started
And I know my strength grows weak
It's the one, not the three 
That screams "Please take me!"
And I wish I had never even looked up...up

7:30 flight but I missed it
I think I...knew that... 
There'd never be another one coming along
I guess it's sabotage
But this way I'll never have to see 
How I'd have failed if I had tried
And I've got so much to say
My head, my heart - well, both would explode
If you knew about the things that I've been known to do
I'd never even get the chance to say goodbye

And you've spent too many nights crying in a corner
You know, it gets back to me
I know you won't, you just won't, but you really outta 
Set yourself free
 And I've seen this one a hundred thousand times
It's always the same
So if you want - I don't, I can't, I won't 
Peel back the curtain
Cuz if we pull back the curtain, you know
There'll be things we'll be forced to believe

Change me from the inside
I don't want to be anything that I've been
And I know I need a spark
I resist everything except sin
A so slow start, stumbling in the dark
And I do it over, and over, and over, and over
And over again

Change Me From the Inside

Wishing for the end 
When you've yet to begin
Counting to one from ten
Which is worse now - the losing or winning?
Something far inside of you
Tells you you're beginning to bend
And I just don't want to be there in the end

So whatcha saying about - 
Whatcha been saying about me?
Well, it's a beast and a burden
But I'd like a little story
How about another story?

It's like a bee sting quartered in fleece
I'll take it right on time
It's here with its cuffs
It's a sin, lock me up
It's surely buried in my side, even as I find...

By cleaning up the little things
I can find everything I used to be looking for
And once this was easy
But, please, I don't need this - I am wide awake
Well, I flew too soon and clipped the white moon
And came screaming down
Once I was sold, but no thanks cuz I'm older now
And wiser with my hindsight

I open my mouth to say everything's all OK
I kinda get this feeling like I'm gonna see a light
I open my mouth to say everything's not OK
I kinda get this feeling like I'm gonna cede that light
I open my mouth to say I'm gonna be OK
I'm gonna be alright just as long as I take it light
Go slow
Go easy 

I don't know you and you don't know me
But I, and you, and we - 
I'm so glad, and you're so glad
We are all so glad to be alive

It must be sad seeing everything come up at its worst
That's the fear, said everybody's saying so
But that's not how it works

Them devils lied
Been crucified but it's never enough
Do it over and over again
We're gonna lead the same lives
They follow me, they hop up to me and scream
"Why are we even here?"
It's up to me to say it, up to you to say it
Let me go just one time

This old-fashioned life hands us death
Dares us to embrace it as celebration
Love, this is happiness
You're gonna feel the same never - forever
Paint a picture everybody reaches for
You got your life up on the horizon
Shut your eyes and it may surprise you
But you're having so much fun
Say good-bye now and let go
I've got the strangest feeling that we've been here before

We Are All So Glad To Be Alive

I know what it is to be you
I can see 'em through your swollen eyes
They gone hit you from the front
Gone hit you from the side

I'm sorry but I won't apologize
Let's just deal with the fear coming at you
You don't have to like me
But everyone else does
It's a fear system
Mere assistant here to the little bitty

I'll give you the rest you want
It's so near and they'll keep it for me all my life
Dear? Say what? Come tip me over
Just a little ditty, fun-sized
No one has to know about it

Let's ditch this city
Let's hit the car and ride
I'll bring my tapes and we'll only play the B-sides
We'll run for cover - just us, no others
Make it just like it used to be

We'll find you peace in the near and far and wide
Step over them cracks
Rack, shoot 'em off
Break it to the outside
Up you go
Hey, baby, don't you notice 
That this beat gonna be ok?

Slip off the leash
Say, darling, this is suicide
Stop up the leak
Feel whole inside
Please don't take your eyes off my eyes
It's a beast and it's a lie
But it's been nicer knowing you

Well, I don't know what you'd say to me
It's easier when you fall asleep
Flick that switch, flip me upside down
Rip it all apart

Won't you take me to another place?
And throw back them drapes
Cuz I wanna see the sun rise
That priest, he run all over town
But the streets he go down
Are better than nothing

Thick, swollen lip
Feel the sting
All painted black
Don't take a sip - just take a swig
Don't hold anything back
Gonna do it up so big 
It terrifies me to think
That anybody'd ever do it small

Throw up a dart, just anywhere
Crawl through the dark and I'll meet you there
And when it's all said and done 
We'll watch the reruns, again and again

Come on, make me prouder that I knew ya
Just open up your soul 
Let the breeze blow through ya
It will all come, yet we're gonna take it slow

I'll be the black night - you be the firefly
You paint the picture and I'll breathe it to life
I'll be the one gonna hold you up, baby
Come on, walk along with me

Change Me From the Inside
