| Bomb With blankness staring back at me And gleaming from the pages I feel the fear of apathy Gripping me, pushing me on top of everything In the corner with a view I turn off the fluorescent tubes This is the bomb that I've been waiting for Living for You've finally lit the fuse that's in my head Yes, you've finally lit the fuse that's in my head With nothingness on top of me Bleeding from my folder Only you can stop the emptiness Don't let it take me over I've been sinking now Further into nothing I've been waiting long Longer than for something Chem6a Nothing but a chemical in my head It's nothing but laziness 'Cause I don't wanna read the book I'll watch the movie 'Cause it's not me I'm just like everybody else my age I think I'd rather play around And I think I'd rather watch tv 'Cause I don't wanna face my fears I'll watch the movie 'Cause it's not me I'm just like everybody else Because I don't wanna be here I don't wanna see this now It's all wrong but it's allright I don't wanna be here I don't wanna study now It's all wrong but it's allright I don't know what love is And I don't know who I am And if I ever wanna find out I'll watch the movie 'Cause it's not me I'm just like everybody else my age I don't wanna change the world And I don't wanna be someone And I don't wanna write the book I'll make the movie 'Cause it's not me I'm just like everybody else Underwater It's in her head It's in her mind She can't believe it Can't believe she's running Out of time And any hold That she can find Something to lean on Everybody fails her Half the time Nothing to be She's already been Plenty of time Lights her candle Six A.M. Starting a new one Everyone new one hits her Just the same Just like clockwork She climbs down Into her bottle No one down there cares To know her name She's underwater Nowhere now Underwater upside down The rising tide won't Find her now She's lost and found Underwater She's underwater But she won't drown She can't believe it And everyone she meets Feel just the same It takes all day To get tonight What makes the sunset And what makes it go back To where it came She's underwater Nowhere now She's underwater Upside down The rising tide won't Find her now She's lost and found Now she's upside down Now she's six feet down Underwater Edge of My Seat Nothing more That there's nothing more Nothing here's the same It's all a dream Life on a movie screen And I'm sitting on the Edge of my seat I can't tell what happens next Just what I've seen Don't know what it means But I'm holding on the Edge of my seat I can't forget your name Forget your name Yeah, I can't forget you Now I know I can't forget you girl I promise Sit back, buckle in And hold on tight A roller coaster ride And I'm holding on the Edge of my seat And I don't know for sure 'Cause I just landed On your shore But I think you've got nothing But another thing comin' If you think there's nothing more That there's nothing more Home It's a long way from Miami to LA It's a longer way from yesterday To where I am today It's a long way from my thoughts To what I'll say It's a long, long way from paradise To where I am today All that's in my head Is in Your hands It's a long way from The moon up to the sun It's a longer ahead of me The road that I've begun Stop to think of all the Time I've lost Start to think of all the Bridges that I've burned That must be crossed Over, over, over Take me over I've been poison I've been rain I've been fooled again I've seen ashes Shine like chrome Someday I'll see home Home, home I can see the stars From way down here But I can't fall asleep Behind the wheel It's a long way from the Shadows in my cave Up to Your reality to Watch the sunlight taking over Might Have Ben Hur Everything I know Tells me she's everything That I could hope for Everything I know Tells me I can't let her Walk away I took my time to find the words I hoped she'd feel the same 'Cause I want someone to Share my smile To share the pain To be there when the sea Turns gray To share the joy For better or worse And I thought that it Might have been her Wonder if she knows The way I saw her sould Light up my life Wonder if she knows Of the pain I feel tonight Concrete Girl Bleeding thoughts Cracking boulder Don't fall over Fake your laughter Burn the tear Sing it louder, Twist and shout Way up here We stand on shoulders Growing colder Laugh or cry I won't mind Sing it louder, Twist and shout Immovable shadows Concrete girl They'll rock your world To nothing And they're swimming Around again, again And they're swimming Around again, again And they're swimming Around the concrete girl Catch your breath Like four leaf clover Hand it over Scream to no one Take your time Sing it louder, Twist and shout Nothing to run from Is worse than something And all your fears Of nothing And they're swimming around Again, again And they're swimming around The concrete girl Concrete girl Don't fall down In this broken world Around you Concrete girl Don't fall down Don't fall down My concrete girl Don't stop thinking Don't stop feeling One step away From where we were And one step back To nothing And we're standing on top Of our hopes and fears And we're fighting for words now Concrete girl And we're swimming around Again, again And we're swimming around now Concrete girl Life and Love and Why Life and love and why Child, adult, then die All of your hoping And all of your searching For what? Ask me for what am I living Or what gives me strength That I'm willing to die for Take away from me This monstrosity 'Cause my futile thinking's Not gonna solve nothing tonight Ask me for what am I living Or what gives me strength That I'm willing to die for Could it be this Could this be bliss Could it be all that I ever had missed Could it be true Can life be new And can I be used Can I be used Give me a reason For life and for death A reason for drowning While I hold my breath Something to laugh at A reason to cry With everyone hopeless And hoping for something To hope for Yeah, with something to hope for Could it be true Can life be new Could it be all that I am Is in You Could it be this Could it be bliss Can it be You Can it be You You There's always something In the way There's always something Getting through But it's not me it's You Sometime's ignorance Rings true But hope is not in What I know Not in me It's in You It's all I know And I find peace When I'm confused I find hope when I'm let down Not in me But in You I hope to lose myself For good I hope to find it in the end Not in me It's You It's all I know Ode to Chin What's your direction Tell me what's wrong Tell me what's right What's your direction Think about somebody else For the night Life's more than girls God's more than words You're more than this So what's your direction And where are you now Grow, grow where you are Anchor your roots underneath Doubt your doubts And believe your beliefs What's your direction What matters most is what You do now What's your direction All that you've been Makes who you are now 'Cause I've been ashamed I've been a fool You know I've backed down When I lose direction I pray to be found Don't Be There Don't be there 'Cause I'm on my way And I'm already gone over And I'm on my way And I can't recall myself How I went down Did I get shot Or shoot myself I'm down here And you're way up there But that doesn't hurt badly But it stings right here And I won't pretend there's Nothing there You be around and I'll be square Don't be alarmed if I'm not there You be around and I'll be square If you're a rose Then I'm the thorn That's in your side And does it hurt badly 'Cause it burns right here I'd like to say hello I'd like to say I care I'd like to let you know That nothing here's the same with me Nothing here's the same Don't be around Don't be there |
