I keep on thinking that I’ve seen it all before 
I can’t see through the shades 
It’s getting hard for you to know me anymore 
I’m hiding from the days 
And I wan’t to keep all of my privacy 
And keep it to myself 
A circle of friends in my memory 
I hope they’re doing well 

I saw sunshine yesterday 
I looked to the sky 
Then I ran back inside 
I saw sunshine yesterday 
It blinded my eyes 
It made me realize 
That I’m not missing anything 

I’m drawing pictures of myself on the wall 
They’re not that flattering 
I’m singing songs that I’ve never heard at all 
And singing out of key 

And I wan’t to keep all of my privacy 
And keep it to myself 
A circle of friends in my memory 
I hope they’re doing well 

I saw sunshine yesterday 
I looked to the sky 
Then I ran back inside 
I saw sunshine yesterday 
It blinded my eyes 
It made me realize 
That I’m not missing anything 

Please uncle, please show me 
what I should do now 
Please uncle, please show me 
Show me the way out 

I’m scraping all I can from the bottom of a jar 
So I don’t have to leave 
I’m keeping shelter from a giant burning star 
That isn’t kind to me

Serena Hides 

Serena hides behind a face that isn't really hers 
She always tries a different way to put time in reverse 
I wonder what it is that she's hiding from 
She's passed on all her friends 
When will her crying end 
Her family wonders where she is 
Is she happy feeling lonely now 

Serena Hides behind a mask that she paints on herself 
The painted smile will never last 
For undeserved will 

I wonder what it is that she's hiding from 

She's passed on all her friends 
When will her crying end 
Her family wonders where she is 
Is she happy feeling lonely now 

She puts a shell around her and colors her lies 
And then she'll start to wonder about the disguise 
Will she ever find a way 
To find a way out 

I wonder what it is that she's hiding from 

She's passed on all her friends 
When will her crying end 
Her family wonders where she is 
Is she happy feeling lonely now

Eating Pie 

I can’t complain 
I always try 
I know no other way 
I go against the grain 
And eat some pie 
I don’t feel well today 

I don’t feel need to compromise 
It’s something I despise 

I think that I should never try 
Eating pie 

I’ll change my mind three times a day 
It all happens against my will 
What must go down must always come up 
So I can search for my diet pill 

Everything I do is so overdone 
It has to be that way 
I want it all or else I want it none 
There are no shades of gray 
If I’m crying out to everyone 
I’m crying everyday 

I think that I should never try 
Eating pie

My Very Own Apple Tree 

Sitting underneath the apple tree 
I'm wiping all the dirt right off my knees 
But I don't mind 

Mister Deer is looking down at me 
He says I've lost all of my dignity 
But I knew that long before he did 

Spent a long time breathing dust inside of me 
Mister Deer is becoming my enemy 
In a way this has become my second home 
Not everyone has a tree of their own 

I'm sitting underneath the apple tree 
The sun is draining all my energy 
But I don't care 

I've been sittin' down for 13 years 
Father told me I need to change gears 
But I can't seem to get motivated 

Spent a long time breathing dust inside of me
Mister Deer is becoming my enemy 
In a way this has become my second home 
Not everyone has a tree of their own 

I'm sitting underneath the apple tree 
I'm painting pictures in my memory 
But I've lost my brush 

Sitting underneath the apple tree 
The sun is draining all my energy 
And, I can't seem to get motivated 

Spent a long time breathing dust inside of me 
Mister Deer is becoming my enemy 
In a way this has become my second home 
Not everyone has a tree of their own

Flea Market 

I don’t want anything from the flea market 

Please don’t pressure me 
I don’t want to buy anything that is in front of me 
Please don’t pressure me 
Why do you try to pawn on me your worst disease 

I have no need for sunburnt tapes of spanish songs 
I cannot wear a pair of used brand new thongs 

I’m waiting for the chance I can go home 
So I can show someone how much I’ve grown 

I don’t want anything from the flea market

Whatever Piper 

I can't hear a word you say 
When I pushed you away 
I'll read your mind 
My eyes pointed to the ground 
Ears shutting out the sound 

To save all I've done 
I know that I'm wrong 
I'd no sooner die than 
Admit that you're right 
I don't care what you think 
Cause I'm driven to drink it away 

I know that I'm wrong 
Please don't ask why 
I should put out the fire 
Oh I'd rather be dead than 
Hear anything you said yesterday 

I'm riding my high horse 
In spite of his 4 broken legs 
He's had too much to drink 
And now his memory's so vague 
He's having trouble getting 
Out of this starting gate 

I'm stuck in my stubborn ways 
Miserably living days 
With my anger 
With my selfish addiction 
To drug induced fiction 
I am a stranger 

Now that I know that I'm wrong 
I'd no sooner die than admit that you're right 
I won't care what you think 
Cause I'm driven to drink it away 

I know that I'm wrong 
Please don't ask why 
I should put out the fire 
Oh I'd rather be dead than 
Hear anything you said yesterday

Shoe Gazer 

I had something else to say 
But someone took it away 
And I, have a fear of being trampled down 
And being thrusted to the underground 

I'm just a shoe gazer 
And I am just a daydreamer 

There's not much for me to do 
Except stare right down at you 
And I, have a fear of being trampled down 
And being thrusted to the underground 

I'm just a shoe gazer 
And I am just a daydreamer 

I don't have anything to say 
But, I know I'm wise 
I'm searching for all the answers on the floor 
I don't hear all the words you say 
When you criticize 
I don't know what I should be listening for 

And I am just a shoe gazer 
I think my shoe's untied 
I'm just a daydreamer 
My day turns into night 
I'm just a shoe gazer 
I think my shoe's untied 
I'm just a daydreamer 

I don't have anything to say 
But, I know I'm wise 
I'm searching for all the answers on the floor 
I don't hear all the words you say 
When you criticize 
I don't know what I should be listening for

Betterman 

I'm sorry for what I've done 
I know I've hurt everyone 
It's time for me to change 
And become a betterman 

I've lived too many lives 
I've told too many lies 
I hope I can change 
And become a betterman 

I'm so sorry 
I wish it was a different story 
I wish I was a betterman 

I live in the third degree 
It always tortures me 
I need to leave this place 
And become a betterman 

I'm searchin' for sympathy 
But, it never follows me 
It's time for me to change 
And become a betterman 

I'm so sorry 
I wish it was a different story 
I wish I was a betterman 

I said things that I wish that I never said 
Tired of sleeping inside my head 
When will things be as they were before 
Woken up from a dream to find 

I've lost everything that I had 
Swept under a welcome mat 
Will they forgive me 
When I'm a betterman 

I'm shedding my extra skin 
I'm taking the wrong medicine 
If I disappear now 
Am I a betterman 

I'm so sorry 
I wish it was a different story 
I wish I was a betterman

Warren's Song Pt. 6 

I sat there on a stool sitting 
By myself like any other day 
When someone stood in front of me 

He looked at me with his pale brown eyes 
And started to talk with me 
And laugh with me 
And stand around me 

He said he could not understand 
Why I've been treated the way I always have 
And, we became the best of friends 
I waited all my life to meet someone who 
Would talk with me 
And laugh with me 
And stand around me 

I thought we would be friends 
Til the end of time 
I thought we would be friends 
Til the end of time 

Every time I saw his face 
It took me to a better place 
I've gone somewhere I've never been 
The feeling of having a friend 

Monday morning, I came back to school 
Thinking that everything was fine 
Then I saw the empty desk 
Then I was told that I had lost 
The only person who would talk to me 
And laugh with me 
And stand around me 

I thought we would be friends 
Til the end of time 
I thought we would be friends 
Til the end of time 

Every time I saw his face 
It took me to a better place 
I've gone somewhere I've never been 
The feeling of losing a friend

Shadow Puppets 

Shadow puppets on the wall 
Comfort to me when I call 
Everyone thinks I'm insane 
My shadow puppets think the same 

But they are my friends 
And they don't follow senseless trends 
And they have a mind of their own 
They all give me company 
Another contradicting me 
They can come and go as they please 

Shadow puppets on my wall 
Coming to me when I call 
People think that I'm insane 
My shadow puppets are to blame 

But I'm startin' to find 
That they gain control of my mind 
So they can remind everyone 
They always seem to understand 
What I'm doing with my hands 
They put "I make amends" 

I like how it feels to be alone 

Shadow puppets on my wall 
Coming to me when I call 
Everyone thinks I'm insane 
My shadow puppets play the game 

But they're dying to be 
And if they want I'll set them free 
So they can have a life of their own 

Every girl walks every ways 
I'll be lonely for the rest of my days 
And I will dream of yesterday

Envy 

I see myself with nothing to do 
Nothing to show for the last year or two 
I don’t have much left that I can prove 

I try not to dwell on past mistakes 
I try not to believe my life’s been a waste 
But it comes to haunt me everyday 

Envy fills my mind 
Envy takes up all of my precious time 
It leaves me with nothing else 

I’ve lost my pride 
Jealousy has become part of my life 
And everyone else can tell 

Suffering regrets of things that I have done 
I don’t feel content with second to me 
I feel like I let down everyone

Speed Bump 

Next to the sidewalk 
I have been layed up there for days 
And if I could walk 
I would walk away 

Does someone miss me 
Does someone wonder where I’ve gone 
Are they unhappy 
They won’t see me again 

My bones are broken 
But I need to get up and go 
My insides showing 
They don’t need to show 

This situation seems to have put me in a hole 
I need attention 
They won’t see me again 

I don’t think I’ll be going home today 

I’m not that healthy 
I don’t imagine I look well 
I’m getting messy 
Everyone can tell 

I’ve been invaded 
There’s something picking at my skin 
I am degrading 
They won’t see me again 

I don’t think I’ll be going home today 

I’m so ashamed now 
I’m well behaved now 
I think I’m tame now 
I’ve lost the game now 
I’m rearranged now 
I feel estranged now 
I need a change now 
I don’t feel pain now 

I don’t think I’ll be going home today
