you say that you know me
not just the drugs i like to take
but i'm only smoking
so to you i cannot relate
say that you're tired
but you've only worked a day
and i've been up all night
trying to implement some change
into my life
i hate my job
i need the money
it's not my fault
i hate my car
it won't start
i'm getting closer to falling apart
and i'll start a fire
burn it all down
there is a cleansing
in finally standing on solid ground
and i'll crash my car
into your house
so that i can see how you feel
about me now
about me now
about me now

I heard your voice
it sent shivers down my spine
your words
they scared me, yes they did
because they sounded just like mine
you changed your hair
you changed your clothes
I don't want you to go
please don't go
I know you want to go, but
you changed your hair
you changed your clothes
please don't go
why you? take me
why you? take me
Jenny
won't you hold my hand
because I feel stupid without you around
don't leave me alone please
don't leave me alone, please
I can't take this by myself
by myself

how can we live?
with the facts presented like this
obvious lies spread the word
on how predictable we are
we’re manipulated
into thinking we’re all a god
hateful Intended to show we all hide from ourselves
we can never learn to control our pride
but in the end it will come
thinking in the moment
I guess I’ve never considered this before?
an image of a place we belong
to sit and discover each other
but that’s a joke
that sounds nice but only in fiction
that sounds nice but only in fiction
we love to see you when you're down
where do we draw the line
to fear what’s to come
to fight it head on and to settle the score
What to do with all these problems?
nothing is as it seems
all in me
the way it’s supposed to be
inward we go straight to resolutions
the way to simply be
too much time has passed
since I drift away
pondering outcomes
I played myself
the second time should the last time
for me to think about it
parade in the moment
don’t struggle with it
too much time has passed
since I drift away
pondering outcomes
as I go on, thoughts will trample
crumbling before me
would love to see them gone
just work with myself and I’ll feel inside
the solutions were there the whole time
would love to see them right
why do you feel like
we love to see you when you’re down
