The Bridge
There´s this bridge I´ve got to cross
I feel alone. A child down to each side and I can´t carry both. The
bridge is long we could fall down through holes, water all around; wind,
wet and cold. One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn´t
own, another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home. My bridge
is too unstable and the insecurity is letting go. There´s no holding
to a crumbling bridge. When all the time is gone in between it tumbles.
Time to move along... I toss and turn over and over, trying to dream out
anxiety, easy answers to my problems. Keeping a grip on sanity until the
sun comes up and my mind´s fresh and clean.

Clean
i'd like to hide away somewhere without light somewhere
dark and warm
no given chance to lose without a care in my head
i could sleep right through
i gave it all away today those empty stares
won't be from me there's not
much to look forward to just as long as i can't
remember took a shower today
couldn't feel the water hit my face pinched the
skin on my arm and i couldn't
feel pain i guess my wish came true so now may
i not lose
back
Sympathy
I wish I could be a part of your sadness. I wish
I could cry for you. I hate to think of what you are going through...but,
I´ve never known, I can´t even sympathize. I can´t even
sympathize, I can´t even sympathize... As I imitate your mood I feel
so callous, so hard inside. Because my eyes are dry, I can´t even
sympathize. I just hope that it will be OK along the way.
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
back
You looking at
me
You´ve got it all between your fingers. What
you want you just can´t grab. You want it, all...What you want you
just can´t have. Sand sifts through, with my disgust. And with my
sympathy, chains lay in rust. You want someone to hold you together. But
you´re way too "strong", you´re way too proud. You want someone
to be around. What you want, you need gone. It´s old, it´s
dirty, it´s cold outside, it´s loneley, it´s ugly, it´s
all around.

For sale
is there a need for advertising me i might be a
pigeon but i'm whole
i've got this crazy notion i can get there for
free this one's for sale
everybody's criticizing but i don't get much advice
i guess that's what i get
for trying this one's for sale so what am i supposed
to do this one's for you
back
Tell me a story
so now i know you have to say what's on your little
mind and
i always have to hear from someone else all your
stupid lies come on now and
look at me you'll see i'm okay it's story time
now time for you to show your
shallow exhistance it doesn't add up too much
your junior insecurity now i
see that you're afraid of me
back
Where d'ya go
seems like the further i get from here things come
on time
seems like the closer i get to home i'm way out
of time i think about where
to go it's always i don't know every time i think
there is someone no one has
shown where d'ya go i heard a voice in the dark
and i knew it was you
back
Home Sweet Home
In separate rooms, I hear them screaming through
the walls. I´m locked away, home sweet home. Listening to the vicious
things they say. You hate yourselves, home sweet home. You hate your children
because they act so much like you. You hate each other too. There´s
too much love for me in this house. Let me go, home sweet home. There´s
too much love for me in this house. Leave me out, home sweet home.
back
Great...
you reel me in from a real long leash pulling me
in just to tell me
a speach i don't like the looks of that do you
like the looks of that i gave
it all i had you pull my head all over this town
i get the feeling that i'm
about to drown visions of you are just like me
maybe that's the way you want
me to be maybe we are too much alike or maybe
not enough but some good times
we've had
back
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
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
back
Ten feet tall
are you there you have so much to say am i so small
do i make
you feel that way ten feet tall and so upset won't
anybody listen while you
condescend if you can get a hold squeeze tight
but i still might slip away
something is missing
back
Slumbering
day dreams on the cieling ridges in my memories
resting for the
evening to warm to freeze give me a reason why
should i doubt something that
comes so easy it's better than being down and
out free from the grind and
breathing in it's so easy to drift away
