You Know, I Was Saved.

They lead you to the grave And I watch you as you fade Will you rise from the dead? Like Jesus did when he was young. How old do you think he is now?

Ghost Town 03:42
Up in the attic, there lived a monster named Gene He feeds on spiders and my father's long expired gin Nobody talks about him no more But everybody knows that knock on the door And in the basement, the other family sleeps They live with fear so with worms and maggots, they weep Nobody sees them around anymore But everybody breathes deep when they lock their front door Nobody talks about these things anymore And they cover their ears when I echo the moans Inside the church, there's a kid who cries herself to sleep Doing those things doesn't make her feel like a sheep Nobody asks what's up anymore But they follow you around when they figured you earn more

I'm Not Good 02:48
There is no time to lose Don't wait around at night If you'll never figure me out Well then, nevermind You think I'm always down But I'm high all the time Don't wanna let you down So I gotta say this now I am not good, I am not good for you Wolves prey on the innocent Like a monster to a child There's someone up there And saving is his job not mine Not mine I am not good I am not good for you

Dead Spot 03:42
It's funny how you run out of things to say but you never really shut up Funny how summer came and went away and left me broken with a dead spot It's empty and it's black I never said that I'd be ok I just told you I'd get by I never said that I'd be happy I just told you I'd find some other guy Oh Funny how I always want what I can't have Will I ever change somehow Will I ever learn somehow Will I ever learn somehow

Way To Go 02:32
In my little bed, I tried to read The letters that my lover sent to me The lines were rather blurry and soaked from his tears But there's no one out there who could tell me how to feel The lies in February made it really hard to see That the unlucky one, after all, was not me So I know that the world is ending, But I still wanna be alone If the time that I have remaining is mine alone, That's the way to go Way to go When I try to write back, The little voice would try to tell me not to The lines are rather sloppy and insincerity is clear But there's no person who could show me what is real So by the time I get free, I hope you'd still be there for me I know that the world is ending But I still wanna be alone If the time that I have remaining is mine alone, That's the way to go Way to go Way to go

About A Boy 03:18
You don't need to come as you are cause I already know That we all need that familiar sense of nothing Don't we? All the love that I've known before is nothing Compared to this annoying kind of feeling "Don't have to be afraid" And you don't need to say those words I know I know And your eyes could light up a thousand nights Tried to read between the lines I know I know You look at a fire and then try to tame it The smoke in my lungs will make it worth it And there's a million voices inside my head but yours is my favorite "Don't have to be afraid" And you don't need to say those words I know I know And I'm wide awake but it feels like I'm dreaming Wide awake, but it feels like I'm dreaming Dreaming

Pretty girls make pretty babies You know that for a fact don't you, baby? And there's no time in the world to be lonely Cause there's lots of faces for free There's comfort in the sound of the way you're gritting your teeth when she passes your way And there's comfort in the sound of the rain, I stand there and I laugh as it melts down your face again Pretty boys pretend that they're lonely So you'd feel for them and feel like your lucky But the downfall just begins when you finally see Just how a monster could be so pretty Pretty There's comfort in the sound of the way you're gritting your teeth when she passes your way And there's comfort in the sound of the rain, I stand there and I laugh as it melts down your face again There's comfort in the sound of the way I'm gritting my teeth when you pass my way And there's comfort in the sound of the rain, You stand there and you laugh as it melts down my face There's comfort in the sound of the way you're gritting your teeth when I pass your way Again There's comfort in the sound of the waves as they carry your body to an unusual grave There's comfort in the sound of the rain, I stand there and I laugh as it melts down your face There's comfort in the sound of the rain.

Now you have read all my sins, you'll know I'll never figure out what's real Never will and never will And there's a sign on my bedroom door that I put up when I was a sophomore Never tried to take it out You know, I was saved. From the moment that I saw your face And I know I am glad That the flowers in the yard are dust and mud.
9.
I don't understand why they say this is hard I see little fish in the tank, screaming to get out Never will I want anybody else But today, I'm glad I left the phone on the shelf Now I would never leave at night usually And I was never good at any secrecy What's the least I could do to someone really close to me Count all the bubbles in your red wine Or wait until the clock tells you it's nine Mother oh mother what have I done Maybe the devil really won this time

Light 03:54
They threw flowers as you disappeared on the ground I wish you could see their faces and their frowns They say when you go... When we disappear, what if there's no light at all? Where do we go from here? When there is no light at all You felt so down, in the attic, you punched a hole. And in the back of your mind, you asked "what's more?" And they remembered the time you spent in the war Then your daughter tried so hard to recall the things she adored About you When we disappear, what if there's no light at all? Where do we go from here? There's no light at all When we disappear, what if there's no light at all? Where do we go from here? There's no light at all And when I disappear Maybe there'd be no light

about

I feel the utmost need for change and ideally, I've always felt like it's a good thing-- whether or not it has brought upon some bad consequences. This is another attempt to express my anger, guilt, joy. I don't really have anything much to say.
