Feel
what you want, what you got
live your life in a crawl space
I'd help you out but you don't want a chance
at a better life
you said you never took a ride and now you wanna play
well it's a big big city, let me show you around sometime

oh sometime..
and now you've crossed that line,
you can't come back,
tell me how does it feel now?
it's too late, too much to forget about
can't stop now, how does it feel now?
I'm only askin because i wanna know
how you wanna feel

I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
I'm a spot on the pavement,
I'm a number on your wall,
I make your soul tired
I don't think I like this game no more
It goes around and round and round
I'll take you one more time..
yea one more time..

chorus x2

Disease
feels like you made a mistake you made somebody’s heart break
but now i have to let you go, i have to let you go

you left a stain on everyone of my good days
but i am stronger than you know
i had to let you go

no one’s ever turned you over, no one’s tried t ever let you down
beautiful girl, bless your heart
i got a disease deep inside me makes me feel uneasy
baby, i can’t live without you tell me what am i supposed to do about it?
keep your distance from me, don’t pay no attention to me..
I got a disease

feels like you’re making a mess
you're hell on wheels in a black dress
you drove me to the fire
and left me there to burn

every little thing you do is tragic
all my life before was magic
beautiful girl, i can’t breathe

i got a disease, deep inside me makes me feel uneasy
baby, i can’t live without you tell me
what am i supposed to do about it?
keep your distance from me,
don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease
oh well i think that i’m sick but leave me be
while my world is coming down on me
you taste like honey, honey
tell me, can i be your honey bee?..
Be strong, keep telling myself that it wont take long
til im free of my disease

set me free of my disease

Bright Lights
She got outta town
On a railway New York bound
Took all except my name
another alien on broadway
some things in this world you just can't change
some things you can't see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone,
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world?
Maybe, maybe, maybe you'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't recieve you,
you should turn yourself around and come on home..
I got a hole in me now,
Hey I got a scar I can talk about,
She keeps a picture of me,
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need until they leave you
Then the things that you miss, you say

Chorus

let that city take you in (come on home)
let that city spit you out (come on home)
let that city take you down, yea
for god sakes, turn around

Chorus

Unwell
All day starin at the ceilin makin
friends with shadows on my wall
all night, hearin voices tellin me that
i should get some sleep
because tomorrow might be good for something
hold on
feelin like im headin for a breakdown and i don't know why

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
but stay a while and maybe then you'll see
a different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
and how I used to be..

me...
talkin to myself in public
dodgin glances on the train
and i know, i know they've all been talkin bout me,
I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think there
must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin, somehow
I've lost my mind

Chorus

I've been talkin in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me..
Well they're takin me away..

Chorus

Cold
I will do without
The spaces in between
If you could tell me now
What it means to be
You have been found out
I have been deceived
by the one that I need

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
While you're keepin me low?
You don't know...you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go...don't go..

You will go without
The better part of me
There will be no doubt
Of what this all could mean
You will be found out
I can not beleive
in the one that I need...

chorus x2

All I Need
Everywhere someone's gettin over
Everybody cries and sometimes
You can still lose even if you really try
talkin bout the dream
like the dream is over
talk like that won't get you nowhere
everybody's trustin in the heart
like the heart don't lie

And that's all that I need
someone else to cling to
someone i can lean on
until i don't need to
just stay all through the night and in the morning
let me down
cuz that's all that i need right now

everywhere someone's gettin over
everybody's lied to someone
people still use other people with a crooked smile
All around the world there's a sinkin feelin
Out there right now someone's really down on themselves
and don't know why
every night

chorus

Life ain't no beauty show
we don't know where tomorrow ends
and when we're sad
it's kind of drag

Hand Me Down
someday they'll find your small-town world
on a big-town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talkin to you
Gonna make you break out of your shell
Cuz they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth
They'll tell you everything
you wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart

From what I've seen
you're just one more hand me down
cuz no one's tried to give you what you need
so lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody oughtta take you in
try to make you love again
try to make you like the way they feel
when they're under your skin
never once did you think that they would lie
when they're holdin you
then you wonder why they haven't called
when they said they'd call you
You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by
You'll start to think you were born blind

Chorus

I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
When livin aint easy
you can stand up against me
and maybe rely on me
and cry on me yea
someday they'll open up your world
shake you down to the drawing board
do their best to change you
they still can't erase you..
chorus

Could I Be You
something is wrong
with the sum of us
that i can't seem to erase
how can i be
the only one
without a smile on my face?
and now

you're laughin outloud
at just the thought of bein alive
and i was wondering
could i just be you tonight?

you show your pain
like it really hurts
and i can't even
start to feel mine
and I'm standing in place
with my head first
and i shake, i shake
and i see your progress
stretched out for miles
and miles

chorus

this is the sound that i make
these are the words i chose
but sometimes the right things to say
just dont come out..just don't come out

chorus

Downfall
i wonder how you sleep
i wonder what you think of me
if i could go back
would you have ever been with me?
i want you to be uneased
i want you to remember
i want you to believe in me
i want you on my side

come on and lay it down
i've always been with you
hear and now
give all that's within you
be my savior
and ill be your downfall

here we go again
ashamed of being broken in
were getting off track
i want to get you back again
i want you to trouble me
i wanted you to linger
i want you to agree with me
i want so much so bad

chorus

(only love can save us now)x2
ill be your downfall
(love save me now)

lay it down
i've always been with you
hear me now
with all that's within you
be my savior
and ill be your downfall

Soul
hang out my window
and over your head
stare at your feelings
to see where they end

you're waiting here for someone else to break you
from the inside
you've been so composed
we all know

there's always something
tearing you apart
it's always so much longer than you counted on
it hits you so much harder than you thought
but you don't worry
you don't worry
cuz you got soul

you're so heavy
you're so misunderstood
i spent all of my wishes
wishing times were good
when i still could
wait around here for someone else to take you
past the good side
you've been here so long

Chorus x2

You're So Real
yes i am
i hope you think you read me
hope i start talkin crazy
before you understand me
are we through?
you think that i'm beneath you
but you like the things that i do
wrap em up and take em with you

I'm alright
hope i can sleep for one night
if not to cool my insides
maybe to calm my backside
rain on me
i got a weakness in me
i think that weakness feeds me
i don't think you think you need me
sunshine
you're the best time
i've ever ever had
but i think i made you feel bad
a black fly on your necktie
time after time

but when the sun starts sinking
on your beautiful soul
make you cry, cry baby
make you feel so cold
don't you know it's alright
sometimes you just have
to show how you feel
cuz that's you baby!
you're so real

run it round in your head
like you don't know what's on the inside
you don't know me too well
you aint seen my bad side
shame on me
shame on the things that i'd be
if you could complicate me
if you could get inside me

sunshine
you're the best time
i've ever ever known
pretty girl with a wicked smile on
but i've cried
for the last time
something just don't feel right

chorus

you always know just who you are
you never needed someone else
to realize yourself

chorus

What You Need
slow dancing on the boulevard
in the quiet moments while the city is still dark

sleepwalkin through the summer rain
in the tired spaces you could hear her name

when she was young and tender
and you held her arms around you
there was nothing but her
love and affection
she was
crazy for you now she's
part of something that you lost

and for all you know
this could be
the difference between what you need
and what you wanna be

night swimming
in her diamond dress
making small circles
move across the surface

stand watching
from the steady shore
stayin wide open and waiting for
something
warm and tender now she's
moving further from you
there is nothing that could
make it easy on you
every step you take reminds you that she's walkin on

chorus

every word you never said
echoes down your empty hallway
everything that was your world
just came down

day breaking on the boulevard
feel the sun warming up your
second hand heart
light swimming right across your face
and you think
maybe someday
maybe someday

chorus

So Sad So Lonely (Hidden Track)
i found out
on a late night drive
in my winter coat
with my blood shot eyes
my faith aint been
no friend to me
and the way i sin
is hangin off of me

and im sorry
you can't take me anywhere
pretty soon we're almost there
baby one more time
it's been a long long drive
and im way way tired
i don't need no back up plan

i don't want nobody
nobody don't want me
i'm so sad, so lonely
but im always landin on my feet

one more time
with a sad sad smile
and your white bread friends
in the circus life
all the oneway rides
the sweet beginners
passin on the left hand side
with a sideways smile

and im always
one step from stallin
bad trips can make great stories dance all night
with your ass on fire
and your hands up high
and feel me one more time

chorus

i learn to love myself
and i don't need no one else
and when a love moves on
cuz it gets cold
then another moves in
and it can fill the hole
