twelve (boost) dont believe him

it's like this pit ive gotten in
it's like i see but can't understand
and ive rolled a tour de force
and i'm looking for a hand

she's 3 feet under looking up
looking for another refill in her cup
she's outside looking in
and inside looking up

on the way down down
im on my way up
and after the fall
im holding on...

its almost time for me to say when
but it's like i see but can't understand
im holding on way too tight
and im looking for her hand

she's 3 feet under looking up
and all im looking for is her for luck
she's 3 feet under thats all
she's 3 feet under

tomorrow


today was the last time i inhaled your lies
and yesterday was a fast time i looked at the ceiling
the morning came swiftly and i read the times
as i sat at your table thinking "you've got me reeling"
tomorrow may be your only chance at finding
cause the day after i've claimed as mine

fine to go to work
fine to go and play
im fine to tell you im all done
fine to make it out today
i'll try tomorrow.

and next week comes faster than i thought it should
i've turned into "nerd girl" ive made my own empire
i find that you have been less than good
but it's ok it's alright i have faith in the fight
and tomorrow may be your only chance at finding
cause the day after i've claimed as mine

they say i'm fine to go to work.
and i'm fine to go and play.
i'm fine to tell you i'm all done
but not to make it out today.
i'll try tomorrow.
november

it's just about as cold as it can be this november
the day after thanksgiving has run
away with me
and i feel as i sit by the fire this fire inside
burns just as bright
and i wonder and wander into
the flame
that burns and calls my name

go i- anywhere but here
go i-onto the frontier
go i-onto the road of what can't possibly be near
wishing for once
it was easier

and i wonder and wander
into the flame
that burns
and calls my name


fair philadelphia

and then that night you
smelled my hair
and i just layed and
held you there
i was there
the first time
in the first place

do you remember when
you left me then
at three o'clock
i waited and
i was there
the first time
in the first place

meet me in fair philadelphia
find me there
i'll be between the city
and the air

and you can even
hold me there
and kiss my neck
and smell my hair
but i wont be there
the last time in the last place
anticipatory

stare at this blank
canvas
waiting
waiting
stare at his blank
eyes
an-ti-ci-pating

an' i am left all alone for the night
while he's having the time of his life
this doesnt seem the right poison to be
inflicting the ranks

and infection spreads across time and space
hoping that we can just save face
impossible clouds the brain of rationality he comforts himself as he says to me

stare at this blank
canvas
waiting
waiting
stare at his blank
eyes
an-ti-ci-pating

painting words and fine lines of hope
across the lines that as i spit out i choke
on words of promises never kept by anyone to me

why is it i always get faulty wiring in my connections to anyone
why is it all i can wish for has finally unbearably come undone

why does the guilt overwhelm when i do have fun
at a cost
i feel so lost

stare at this blank
canvas
waiting
waiting
stare at his blank
eyes
an-ti-ci-pating
more..
