Shadow’s on his own, says
“you can’t grow without me”
stays out all night
“’cause you can’t fight
what you can’t see
and you’ll never put
your hooks in me”
“never’s not forever
i like Wendy, but she’s a tourist
and she can’t see the forest
through the trees
if you must, grab some dust
fly away, try to stay happy
choke if you want but i don’t
wanna know how it feels
smoke what you got but don’t
ask me to haunt your heels”
tick tock goes the clock
cradle rocks over the grave
“Peter, if you see her
tell her i said to be brave”
smoke what you got but don’t
ask me to haunt your heels
choke if you want but i’m never
gonna know how it feels

Way Out

why’d i choose this?
what was i thinking?
was i thinking at all?
went too deep and now i’m
looking for a way out
never want to quit but
if you’re giving me a way out
i’m not useless
i just find it hard to care
looked so gorgeous
from the outside looking in
and now i’m looking for a way out
never want to quit but
if you’re giving me a way out
man, i would take it so quick
everywhere i turn
i’m making a mistake
feel my muscles burn
with every breath i take

Where do you go
now that you’ve gone?
i’ve got an idea
but i think it’s wrong
if i can talk to you in my dreams
do you remember
can you think of me?
hate to think that i ran away
i knew i couldn’t bear to
see you that way
didn’t know how fast it could be
still can’t believe that you’d
wait for me
most days i stay away
from thoughts of how it was
when i would come around
to see you just because
and i wait for anything
that could prove heaven true
the stars, they can align
but they always burn out too

Worth It

car’s snowed in, trying not to freeze
happy to earn my keep
no response to my pleas
everyone’s fed up or asleep
take it as being kind
if no one can tell me they mind
i’ll borrow some tears to cry
my sobs keep coming out dry
i wanna feel worth it
catch myself stealing your thoughts
regurgitated word for word
if i bum another cigarette
i’ll only call claim to the burn
i wanna feel worth it

the girls have lost their minds
they're screaming at each other
oh, why do they bother?
and the boys have lost their minds
they’re running through the streets
like cannibal freaks on the hunt
some wanted out
“it’s not in our blood” they sighed
some wanted to throw back the lie
that was passed on like a cherry bomb
school’s out and i’m never going back
i passed every test that you gave
and you won’t ever lock me up
again
the dead language we spoke
was all mirrors and smoke
not beggars or choosers
some learned to hate losers
you won’t ever win
the game is rigged
i don’t ever wanna give in
the grown-ups played
a trick on the kids
i don’t wanna do what you did
i’m gonna have to find
what you hid

Nowhere In Particular

so you were born, born to be wild
living your life mile by mile
been gone before and didn’t forget me
but this time around
should i doubt your memory?
‘cause who knows what you’ll find
when you leave me behind
packed all your things
went off to a new place
made your escape without leaving a trace
led me to think that you’d always be here
i blinked and you disappeared
will we both get what we want
someday when you get lost?
what does it cost?
this world’s yours to embrace
but i can’t always give chase

i don’t know what i mean to you
i don’t know what to say to you
i can’t read your mind
don’t know why
thought you could see into mine
i know you never tried to bluff
i hope i was patient enough
don’t know what i need to hear you say
you don’t owe me, anyway
anyway
i know you gave me all you could
couldn’t keep standing where you stood

Crybaby
02:54
|

thinking of you is such a waste
‘cause you keep riding the brakes
said you don’t have the time or space
as a distraction, i’ve been so great
yet you don’t wanna make me cry, baby
and i’ve been blaming myself
but i just took the hand you dealt
making rules to fool yourself
that things would stay below the belt
but you mixed your signals
kept spending the night
realized you’re holding on too tight
and i’m so angry i could cry, baby
how dare you call me “baby”
you’re selfish but i don’t wanna fight
and you’re being such a crybaby
if you’d gone down this road
maybe we could have grown
what you want you should own
but you’ll end up alone

Joey For President
03:19
|

|
god of thunder, boy wonder
his starry eyes light up the night sky
he’s a hero with zero-gravity cheats
skating down the street
and student council’s lame
so he’s dropping in on the
presidential race and dropping out
all his teachers said:
“Joey for president of our hearts
Joey for president of our minds”
campaign trail, cool rat tail
his mother drives him state to state
mind reader, world leaders
watch his debates
the press made sure the story broke
that joey’s only twelve years old
and so it went to supreme court
and every justice said:
“Joey for president in our time
Joey for president of our land”
so Joey won the prize
three terms by landslide
fought climate change with snow days
brought peace and love
and stopped the hate
by twenty-four he was stooped and gray
Joey for president

i guess i should have seen it coming
you always miss it when it does
don’t wanna be the one that’s always
dreaming of love that never was
and on the day you had to go, babe
although i sighed in relief
life got harder without you
i miss you more than you’d believe
all the others come and go
and i’ve been just fine
but baby you left a hole
can’t get you off my mind
i’m obsessive, i’m a bore
no one wants to hear
about you anymore
should get off my ass
and go get you back
sick and tired of hearing
there’s other doggies in the sea
what if i was blind to fate, babe?
what if you’re the one for me?
and all i really wanna know is
if we ever meet again
i hope you remember by scent, boy
and all the time that we spent
