Lyrics

Politically Correct

I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say

But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway

When I speak my mind that's when we connect

But that's not politically correct

Our heads are so filled with thought, we can't use our imagination

Like a sky so filled with stars, you can't find a constillation

And everyone's so sensitive to every bad vibration

We're so impressing while we're regressing

There's nothing I believe in more than my own insignificance

So why does everybody think that my words can make a difference

I just don't have time to think up every social consequence

I'll just keep on talking you keep applauding

I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say

But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway

If you spoke your mind you might feel more connected

Until you get politically corrected

You lean a little to the left or the right

But you can only see who's on your side

Look a little like a deer in the headlights

A little blind a little hypnotized

So you conform with the best of intention

Change comes from inside

After all that's what this country was founded on

Do nothing different just fall in line

What happened to make us so afraid

You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today

I saw Blazing Saddles yesterday

Right Now

She clings to me like cellophane

Fake plastic submarine

Slowly driving me insane

But now that's over

So what if the sex was great

Just a temporary escape

Another thing I grew to hate

But now that's over

Why you always kick me when I'm high

Knock me down till we see eye to eye

Figured her out

I know she may not be Miss Right

But she'll do right now

I used to hang on every word

Each lie was more absurd

Kept me so insecure

But now that's over

She taught me how to trust

And to believe in us

And then she taught me how to cuss.....

That bitch it's over

I used to be such a nice boy

What A Mess

I confess

It's all true

I'm a mess, what a fool

Now what do I do

I need your help to get up from my knees

I can't seem to see the forest for the trees

As I wait in my silent misery

All I'm asking is please.... forgive me

Now she knows me

She wants me to be

Someone I can't be

.....and she wants me .... and she needs me ....and she wants me

Because she loves me

*SHATTERED*

Now you see inside

I no longer hide

Or fall between the cracks you left behind

Shattered, now you're out of time

You've come too far to be denied

What a shame

I'm to blame

Last Man On The Moon

I just can't seem to concentrate today

It seems my mind is wandering away

And all the things swimming through my head

Fade away as I go back to bad

And I close my eyes

And see how fast time flies

'Cause sunrise comes too soon

I'm never out of bed before noon

Waking up too late seems too soon

And I could never be Neil Armstrong

I'd be the last man on the moon

I used to live in a world of black and white

Until my dreams turned day into night

And now I'm never out of bed before noon

Waking up up too late seems too soon

I close my eyes

And wait for the surprise

In a place I know I belong

In my head I can do no wrong

I could never be Neil Armstrong

I'd be the last man on the moon

Empty Spaces

I'm not afraid to go backwards and fix what we broke

My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy

I hold off sleep, it's so silent without you here

Don't give up now

It would all be for nothing

I believe in second chances

I believe the years forget

Let me fill these empty spaces

Better late than never

Stay forever

Let me fill this empty space

There's always room for one more mistake

Can you feel that

I think we're moving in the right direction

I was someone else then

I'd take it back if you would let me

We were never this close when we were young

Every night I whisper your name at the top of my lungs

Another Night Alone

Alone again tonight

In this empty time

The sound in my head

The sight leaves me blind

I'll write a million words

I'll sing until it hurts

How far could this be

Until it's seen

How long will I let this go

I can't stand to spend another night alone

I star at the empty walls

I speak, no one hears

I make every excuse

And blame all my fears

All these shadows come to rest

In my head

I can't see you

I can't hear the things you said

There is a secret place

You'll find a bloodstained fence

It's there the future speaks

And she spoke to me

Alive

All she's asking is for a little more time

To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind

She won't talk about it... she's made up her mind

But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign"

Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65

Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye

She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies

When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life

Say goodbye to Mr. Right

Lock the door, turn out the light

Pack your bags, leave this trap

Run away, don't look back

See another day with each new sun

Your life has just begun

She can still feel the touch of his hand

Not just the violence, but the warmth of her man

The night she never felt so alive even though it feels so cold outside

It's the first time I've ever seen her smile

Fame (What She's Wanting)

Staring down from thirty thousand feet above the planet

She gets the sense nothing's behinder anymore

Her quest for fame has left her nothing short of a fanatic

For the chance to be the one that we adore

Fame's what she's wanting

You can't go too far when that's who you are.... because

Fame's what she's wanting

Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star

They called her princess cause they always knew she'd be a servant

Never having an ambition in her life

They all knew she'd end up just another loser's girlfriend

Who'd a thought she'd become a Jedi Knight

Bittersweet the taste of.....

Go Away

Once inside the door I check my face in the mirror

As I look past this lonely minute

Was this the ride worth waiting for

I'm scared to death that I've missed it

But she was not the only stone, skipped across this gravel road leading down the path of lonliness

So I'll fly from this hate and pray my soul the lord will take me

To a place through time and indifference

I wanna know how do you feel

I wanna know if this was real

Then tell me what would you say

If you could make this pain go away

She plans her future looking bright ahead

Leaves me in the past

I can't stand to hang out with my co-dependent friends

My patience is fading fast

But every sign and every song is telling me I don't belong

But it's ok to feel scared

'Cause one day soon I'll find myself and realize that no one else

Will make me feel stupid

There's this old man down in Fell's Point

Always hanging around

Telling me, "son the pendulum swings both ways, but for you,

It'll always swing down"

Non -Toxic

I'm one of those things you'll save forever, but never need

Like an old newspaper that no one has time to read

This child has grown into a dead end

Since I lost the power to pretend

But it's all right

That's who I am inside

Not much to say on this non-toxic, oridnary day

That's no superhero standing right infront of us

so take this pocket full of kryptonite and beat it back to Metropolis

There's only room for one on this microphone

In my darkest hour

I'm still alone

But old news can change, as memories float downstream

So don't judge me by my failures, only by my dreams

Paul McCartney

Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
But it made me smile
It made me scream

We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low

I stumble and she sees all
Waiting for me to fall
Obsessing over her
But it's nothing personal

We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low
We'll take our time
Tell each other's lies
In a world so much brighter
If Paul were still alive

Take this slow
Till I lose control
And I'm falling down

Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
I made you smile

I made you scream
