Come on baby, don't I turn you on anymore?
It's been years.
Eat through these wafer walls
I'll meet this hearsay eye-to-eye
Eat through these wafer-walls
Before they're thick with wasted time
You'll say what you're gonna say,
but you're not saying much
you're going on and on and on and on...
You look like Jan Mansfield with two smoking guns
I'll be armed with a mic and some chords,
aimed at the hearts of all girls.
Where's your gun now?
Where are those guns, now?
Save yourself from the sad songs of my lungs.

Let me off this train wreck I've been living for years.
I've seen my share of suffering so let's go and get off.
This emergency will take an ambulance to
delivery me from ignorance.
We'll waste all of our very best questions asking
"Why aren't you sorry?"
"Let go and give up."
So, thats what we've been told?
It's what we've bought and sold.
Emergency! We'll take an ambulance to
delivery me from this ignorance.
Emergency! Emergency!
Let me off this train wreck I've ben living four years
I've seen my share of bullshit...
So, toss it and call it in the air.

I'll start this off with, "I make me sick"
But by no means are you off the hook.
Listen! 'Because I'm only gonna tell you a million times
Here, I'm at my best.
From a distance it looks so fake to me
Life, I'm at my worst.
From a distance, it looks so real.
Well boy, don't just stand there...
Hurry up and say something that moves me.
I'll wait all night for those words to come.
It's over - one knife, five veins
It's over, - one knife is so selfish
It's over - one knife won't help this.

A Very Simple Truth

V1
So why don't you just go?
Are you waiting for a sign?
Well, here it is: My stupid voice
Calling you farther away from these mistakes and my dirty words
C
Don't wake these sleeping arms 'cause they won't ever let you go.
I've asked it once, and I'll ask it again. I have to know where you stop and where I begin.
V2
So, why'd you wait for me?
You simply have no idea...
It's more than this. It's more than you know.
It's every word I said, it's every word i meant.
Can you hear me?
B
All you ever say is what I hate to hear.
V3
I thought these songs would be my fire scape,
leading me to a pretty girl with pretty words
but I should have know that no feeling lasts forever.

Bend the rules and we'll paint the lines white.
And, watch them grow so healthy
But you're a thief,
You steal my breathe.
Your failing eyes bring warm welcome.
You're welcome, you're welcome, don't wear out your welcome.
Like straight lines, you're wide open.
But, I bear weight hard. My lines buckle and close.

My throat is on fire,
burning with these words that I can't say
So I write:
Come on and cough up those little presents of doubt,
wrapped in compliments and words of encouragement.
You wouldn't know perfection if it kissed you on the lips.
My throats on fire,
burning with these words that I can't say
So I write: "All the rain"
