sitting in the corner i don't know what to think i can't
speak i sink a little deeper with every drink i try to sleep i shut my eyes
and like a leaky faucet fear floods the room the one that drips away
patiently by day it was either lost or it was stolen but it's been missing
for too long i woke up one morning and i couldn't see the sunrise i can't
recall the exact moment now but it began some time ago and it makes me wonder
after all i've done what have i got to show i'm aggravated i'm what you
created now don't break me

back
 

Well

i'm standing on the edge looking in thinking so hard my head caves in
i'd like to throw a coin in the wishing well only time will tell if my wish
comes true wishing for the rain to come for it to flood and i'll be done
wishing you back here again alone again

Head trap

have you ever tried to get away when every move you make is
restrained trying to balance what you want with what's expected of you can't
overlook the consequences due to your new circumstances my thoughts are mine
to a point til i feel inclined to be you wouldn't you like to be alone
wouldn't you rather stay at home wouldn't it be nice to wake up free without
any sense of responsibility do you ever get tired of the same old place and
seeing that same old face you need to find some place to go and leave your
whereabouts unknown

The pith

i can't see the ground what am i going to do with myself i've got to
get out this is a living hell not a single beam of light anywhere to be seen
if it wasn't for the smell i'd swear this was a dream somewhere someone is
screaming seems like i'm always leaving this is hell is it day or is it night
i can't tell i've got to get out this is a living hell this is hell has it
ever been clean

back
 

Go away

i sit back and i watch i set back and i talk i sit back and i laugh
i get up and walk away i don't know why i don't know

back
 

Why where when

why don't you quit holding back and say what you want to say
where did the trouble go because it hasn't gone away are you going to pretend
like you're some other person never saw it never been there never heard that
question i often wonder who you were before i met you what do you do when
you're alone did you really think that i'd make you feel okay even when you
didn't want to feel that way when did you decide that i was the one you
wanted to play why where when i often wonder who you were before i met you
what did you do what got you through the day did you really think that
things would be okay even though you knew they'd never be that way when did
you decide that i was the one you wanted to play why where when

Regret

you never looked into their faces all you saw there was another threat
you knew you knew what you had to do but you never tried never heard about
regret you've never heard but it seems to me that you don't know what you
want why don't you let it go three years to get off your chest best left
forgotton nothing's left every time you cry i wish that i could disappear and
hide

back
 

Get out

i feel like i'm trapped inside and this room has been a bit unkind
won't someone please drag me outside and shower me with light i know that i
can shine but it may take some time i just need to go out i need to go out
anywhere but here is fine but you better make it soon or the leather couch
is where you will find me won't someone please drag me outside i'm going to
lose my mind if i don't go out i need to go out

back
 

Conditions

if i could be anywhere and feel at home and be without anyone
without feeling alone and do anything knowing it's all right i'll keep
you in mind don't want to spend my time looking ahead or back it keeps
me busy just wondering where the hell i'm at i don't want to talk  because
i don't want to argue it'll just confuse me anyway i've got my reasons for
not being understanding and saying all the fucked up things i say i've been
holding back the motion in my mimd for so long i can't always tell when
something has gone wrong if things get simple now i'd probably lose my mind
little girl you're so afraid no matter what i say you don't believe me

Ten feet tall

condescend if you can get a hold squeeze tight but i still might slip away
something is missing

back
 

At the bottom

i've got a piece of you all that you don't like to see i know
you so well i'm not surprised when you lie to me and i'm no good because i'm
what i want to be i'm out on a limb you would like to trim that tree i think
i've found another waste of time and what you can't stand is that it is mine
it beats you black and blue
