01. delirium
I'm in a temporary state of confusion,
Though I'm not quite sure if it's temporary
I think I'm getting a fever
You've intoxicated me with your lies

I can't speak at the sight of you
I can't remember what I was trying to do
I think I'm in shock from the look in your eyes
You've got me, you've got me trembling

This delirium is getting to my head
I'm slowly losing my grip on life
I'm becoming, never thought I'd become
Delirious

I've got temporary disorientation
Thought I'm not quite sure if I'll remember later
I'm feeling anxiety
You've intoxicated me with your love

I can't speak at the sight of you
I can't remember what I was trying to do
I think I'm in shock from the look in your eyes
You've got me trembling in desire

This delirium is getting to my head
I'm slowly losing my grip on life
I'm becoming, never thought I'd become
Delirious

Delirious

I can't speak, I can't think and
I can't stop staring at your eyes
I can't remember what I was trying to do
Before you came into the room

And this delirium is getting to my head
I'm slowly losing my grip on life
I'm becoming, never thought I'd become
Delirious, Delirious

Je sais ce que c'est mais
je ne sais pa comment le dire
en francaise

I'm delirious
You've got me delirious

[Italic Translation:
I know what this is but
I don't know how to say it
in french]

02. Friday
I gave my heart to you-know-who
I told him I'd be back on Friday
But when I came he was gone again
Just like the wind from yesterday

And I tried to find it
And I tried but I only found

A shard of my heart taped to
The door with a note saying
"I'll be back on Friday. Some year.
Don't wait up for me, I'll be gone awhile
And don't expect your heart back. It's mine now.
But won't you miss me while I'm gone?"

Took a trip to the nearest store
Hoped that I could find a new one
But there was nothing priced right
I couldn't find a good enough one

So I stared at the shard
And I stared but I only found

The shards of my heart scattered
Over his floor in a pattern
Like saying "I'll be back. Some day.
With your broken heart like you won't care
That I stole it and ripped it apart,
Like you missed me while I was gone."

And I cried so hard
And I cried for my heart
But I never got it back
There's only a shard

A shard of my heart taped to
The door with a note saying
"I'll be back on Friday. Some day.
Don't wait up for me, I'll be gone awhile
And don't expect your heart back. It's mine now.
But won't you miss me while I'm gone?"

Yeah, you'll miss me while I'm gone.

03. Falling
The rainbows
Don't grow on the clouds,
Don't grow in the sky

They don't come from a pot of gold

No, rainbows
Don't come when you want them,
Don't come 'cause you're cryin'

They won't come when you need them most

Like your holiday,
You can take it
And shove it
I don't wanna
Be a part of this
But I don't have
Much choice

Watch the movin' shadows
Three can keep a secret
If two are dead but

When did that start making sense?

And the clouds in the sky,
You don't want them to,
But they're cryin'
Because of you and you
Just want them to stop but
They won't listen
The sky won't fall for you
Like you make everyone else do

And this is
Like your holiday,
You can take it
And shove it
I don't wanna
Be a part of this
But I don't have
Much choice

Like you do
So your pretty heart
You can take it
And shove it
I don't want a
piece of it
'Cause I have
A choice

04. Hikaru ~Fading~
The stars glitter in the sky,
But you're losing your shine
Slowly fading away

You make a big deal out this,
But I tell you it's only me
I'm only me tonight

And the weather I hate
And love at the same time
It's sort of like my feelings for you
But that love is fading

I wanna run away
I wanna glitter and shine
Because you're fading
You expect so much
You expect to fly away
Because I'm fading
Away from you

The clouds cover the moon,
But they make up for it
With their own beauty

And the snow I hate
And love at the same time
It's nothing like my feelings for you
Because I don't love you

I wanna fly away
I wanna throw out my light
Because we're faded
I expect so much
I expect to shine
Because you're fading
Away from me

The stars glitter in the sky,
The clouds cover up the moon,
You're making a big deal out of this,
But there's nothing here worth it

So maybe I'm selfish
For wanting to run away
Because you're fading
Maybe I expect too much
Maybe I shouldn't expect
You to notice you're fading
Away from here

05. I
All the things we say
And all the things we don't
Determine who they think we are

I could be perfect,
Or as perfect as I can be
And I could be a devil,
Just as cruel as I can be
But you don't think that's
Very much evil, do you?

Then again,
You don't know me very well

If you could hear me
And all that I think then
You'd wonder who I really am

I think you're pathetic,
Almost as bad as me sometimes
And I think I should be
Just as free as I can be
Because I'm tired of being
The good girl forever, for you

Yet again,
You don't expect anything else

So I'm just going to walk on by,
And I'm not gonna bother askin',
Do I really wanna know, anyway?
No, I didn't think I did, so

I'm as far from the
Perfect angel you think I am
And I'm as far from this
Hell house that you call home
I'm not coming back, not ever

Do I really want to, anyway?
No, I didn't think so, either.

Then again,
You don't know what I think

06. Worthy
No one wants to be here anymore
They think they can find some place better
And all the bad things will fall off the earth

They don't want to risk it,
They want their stable lives,
With their securities

And so they just ask the same things
Repeating the thoughts in their heads
Never quite believing what they're told

When can I see it?
When can I leave this place?
And is it worth it, is it worth it?

You want to run, you want everything
You want to be something different
Than what they think you were meant to be
But only you can say if it's worth it

So tell me, is it worth it?

Every one wants to be the one
No one could ever be better than them,
No, that would stop the earth from spinning

They tell me they don't want to run away,
But they have no problem running away from me
And they've done it before, oh so many times before

It's just, this time it doesn't hurt so bad

Is it worth it?
Risking everything you know?
Do you really think it's worth it?
Do you know the worth of your soul?

You want every penny for what you are,
But you don't want to pay for the others
You take away, because you don't think
It's worth it

Well, I want to run, I want to be so free
I want to be everything but what you
Think I was meant to be, because only I
Can say if it's worth it or not

But I don't know if it's worth it.

07. Pretty Blue Eyes
You see him every day
Sitting there in class,
Staring at you
Like he's thirsty
Thirsty for more,
With those pretty,
Pretty blue eyes

But just as suddenly
As he's there each day,
He's gone again,
But you don't know where
Where he's gone,
With those pretty,
Pretty blue eyes

For days you wonder,
You wait and watch that door,
Hoping he'll walk in.
Where did he go?
Oh, where did he go
With those pretty,
Pretty blue eyes?

Then one day he's back,
Walks in like he never left,
But all you can do is stare,
Your eyes won't move
From that bruise
Around those pretty,
Pretty blue eyes

New scar on his cheek,
With a handprint on his arm,
So what happened while he was gone?

What happened to him?
To those pretty,
Pretty blue eyes?
Now filled with pain
And no longer thirsty,
Thirsty for more

08. Conclusion
I'm not gonna make you stay,
But I'm not gonna make you leave
What more is there to expect?
There's really nothing here

Anymore

I'm telling you now, though
If you want to walk away,
No one's going to stop you,
I'm not gonna beg you to stay

This time

I wouldn't want anything less
Than for you to stay because
You thought I'd die alone
I only want you if you want me

Too

I've lost my need for you
Just as sure as you've lost
Your need for me, too
So don't say you need me

It's a lie

I know what you're saying,
But I can tell you everything
Else that you've said to me, too
And it would prove your words

Aren't real

I don't talk to you
As much as I used to
But that's okay because
You don't talk to me, too

Anymore

Maybe you should move on,
Just like I learned to do.
You think you're going to die,
Everyone uses that excuse

"I didn't know... that you get over it"

09. morning Rain
A steady stream of something,
Flowing over you and you can't
Say exactly what it is or
Where it came from

But now you know you need it
Because it's leaving you behind
Just like the morning rain
It's come and gone again

The hearts dance before you
On the page where they sit so still
Your mind can't tell anymore
If they're moving or if they're there

You like to tell me
"I know what you're feeling"
But do you really know?
You lost me a long time ago

And now you know you need me
Because I'm leaving you behind
Just like the morning rain
I've come and gone again

I've come to tell you something
It's far too late for this,
My thoughts no longer consist
Of everything I thought you were

Because now I know I need something,
More than this that's left me behind
Just like the morning rain
It came and went again

Your steady stream of something
Flowing over me that I couldn't
Tell exactly what it was or
Where it came from

Well, now I know I don't need it
Because it's left me behind
Just like the morning rain
It's come and gone again

And that's okay with me
Because I don't need anymore rain
This morning is over

10. Potential
"You have potential"
Have you ever heard these words?
It makes me want to tell someone
"Well, hey, everyone has potential"

They try to make it seem
Important or special: Unique for you
But everyone's got the same thing
This thing we all call potential

You really can do anything
If you really want to, if you try
But who wants to try to do everything?
Who cares about the potential?

I just really want to be me,
And I don't want to care if I
Can't do something as good as him
Or if I can potentially be great

I just want to do what I want to,
I just want to have some fun
And if I'm not as good as you,
Well, then, that's okay because

I've got potential.

And if I've got potential,
Well, that's okay because
I really don't want to use it
Just as long as I have it

13. P & N ~authority figure~
The pins and needles, where are they,
You want to know? Well, where else
Would you expect? They're on the floor
Where I threw them last

Why are you inspecting every move I make, anyhow?
It's none of your damn buisiness, really

You're not an authority figure in my life,
But you think you are and I listen to you
Sometimes
So exert your authority and power in my life,
Because you think you can and I'll listen to you
Sometimes

Exert away,
I don't give a damn
Just don't lose your cool
When I decide I've had enough
Of your talking

Walk on your pins and needles 'cause
Well, I only want to know one thing
Why does everyone have control of
Some part of me?

Why are you inspecting every move I make, anyhow?
Like I'm not quite good enough, really

You're not an authority figure in my life,
But you think you are 'cause I listen to you
Sometimes
So you exert your authority and power in my life,
Because you think you can 'Cause I listened to you
One time

Exert away
I don't give a damn
Just don't lose your cool
When I decide I've had enough
Of you

I've had enough
Of you

Why are you inspecting every move I make
Like I'm not good enough for you?
It's none of your damn buisniess anyway
Why does everyone control my life?

You're not an authority figure in my life,
But you think you are 'cause I listened to you
Once upon a time
Then you exert your authority and power in my life,
Because you thought you could, 'Cause you thought I would
Listen

But I've had enough
Of you

15. Jelly Doughnut
[Credits to Janet Evanovich on the Jelly Doughnut Theory, which, essentially,
inspired the second verse of these lyrics and is somewhat quoted here
from her Stephanie Plum series. Awesome read, btw.]

I asked you for a reason
And you can't come up
With a good one

Well, all you've got say
For yourself this time
Is you've got the power,

So you've got the power?
Why should I listen to you
Just because you say I have to

Why should I...

Oh look, the creamy goodness
Is fading away from you now
What will you do now?
Oh look, the world is fallin' apart
Say, what will we do now?
You've got the power, right?

I read somewhere that life
Is like a jelly doughnut
It's plain enough on the outside

Until you bite in,
And then you can't decide
Is it good enough?

And so is it good enough?
Just when you think it is,
You drop a glob of jelly on your shirt

Oh, that's life alright...

Oh look, the creamy goodness
Is fading away from you now
What will you do now?
Oh look, the world is still spinnin'
Say, what will we do now?
You've got the power, right?

Oh look, it's fading away now
Oh look, the fantasy melted away
What will you do now?

Because it's all life now...
