What do you want?
God what do you need?
I’m sick and tired can’t you see cause?
I know that It was well understood
That you wouldn’t come around anymore
And here we are again
I’ve heard it all before, you’re such a bore
You know that I was cold…
You know that I was cold.
I know that I was well,
Sort of strung out
I know that I was well,
Often out about.
What do you need?
What can you say?
Doesn’t matter anyway
Cause
I thought it was well understood
I wouldn’t take your shit anymore
And yet here we are again,
I’ve heard it all before
You’re such a bore
I know that I…

What brings me down
Is when I was younger, I only needed my mind
What brings me down
Is now that I’m older I just haven’t got the time
I’ve got no heart
I’ve got no soul
And I’m bound to let you down
I’ve got no sense of self control and I ask,
Gather all around
Gather all around
When I was young
I was always running from the shade into the sun
Now that I’m old I find myself just running from everyone
I’ve got no heart
I’ve got no soul
And I’m bound to let you down
I’ve got no sense of self control so I ask,
Gather all around
Gather all around
I’ve got no heart
I’ve got no soul
And I’m bound to let you down
I’ve got no heart
I’ve got no soul
That’s what brings me down
That brings me down

I can't believe I ever believed you again my fear
I can't believe how I ever redeemed you
But I turned myself away
and I know I'll never bend this day
I know I've been a fool before
Cause virtue is odd, it ain't my fault
I don't know how you ever went so low
But I turned my eyes away
and I know I'll never bend this day
Between 8th and 9th
56th, Three hundred and 3 Oh
My life forever changed
and I know I'll never bend this day
I know I've been a fool before
Cause virtue is odd, it ain't my fault
I don't know how I ever went so low
But I turned my eyes away
and I know I'll never bend this day
and thats OK

Stuck in a box and I'm a ready to go
Cause I followed all the signs and I followed all the stones
But I'm lost
Oh I'm lost
Whats it gonna be?
Whats it gonna do?
Whats it gonna take?
Rollin' on by in my catatonic boots
with my hair rolled and my bottomed out blues
Cause I'm lost
Yeah I'm lost
Whats it gonna be?
Whats it gonna do?
Whats it gonna take?
Is it morning or night
dawn or dusk I am looking for?
I don't know what I'm looking for
I don't know anything
Stuck in a box and I'm a ready to go
Cause I followed all the signs and I followed all the stones
But I'm lost
Oh I'm lost
Whats it gonna be?
Whats it gonna do?
Whats it gonna take?
Is it morning or night
dawn or dusk I am looking for?
I don't know what I'm looking for
I don't know anything

I saw you through the looking glass
your eyes were made of wire
you know that I'm playing the game
I think its all the same
my own.
I saw me through the looking glass
I've hardly see me smile
You know that I playing the game
I think its all the same
my own, my own.
I saw you through the looking glass
I've hardly seen you smile
You know that I'm playing the game
I think its all the same
my own, on my own.

I'm sick of it
I'll sell myself again like I pawned me to you
But I tuned in, changed a view,
through the grain I can hear you say
Hello, hello
I can be a simpleton
Quiet time, some piece of mind, a view
Now I've tuned out, blown a fuse
Slipped away I can't hear you say
It never really sat well with me at all
and I've no reason to let it go
Cause I'm a loner, and a hoper, yeah
I've known I don't belong.

Do you know how I feel about pain?
Cause you know how I feel about God
And you know my eyes are still my heart.
And you twist and fell yourself with scour
And you seethe through teeth just chapped with cowardice
And you know my eyes betray my heart
And you know that you've got that hard tangled heart, oh no
And its not enough to come around just to bring me down
That's enough,
To fill the hole wherever it is I thought you belonged.
And you know that you've got that hard tangled heart, oh no
And its not enough to come around just to bring me down
That's enough,
To fill the hole wherever it is I thought you belonged.

Well theres a note on my door with the name unattached
but I'm not gonna read, it, not a word, not a scratch
no not yet
okay it says...
Well I don't even want to see you
not even at night, I don't want to hear your footsteps at all
I want peace and quiet, you don't mind?
She says Wah Wah!
I ask Why?
Wah Wah!
I ask it again
Why why why?
Well I have to watch every corner
I watch every step
like I'm supposed to be a get, like I'm doing anything yet
Oh! Where'd my sandwich go?
Do I really have to carry any, any regret?
When you go on and on about myself every single step
Everything I do
I don't know why oh why?
Cause Oh no, Nothing is wrong but you can't be who you are
Cause You know that love ain't free
Cause I heard it from you
I don't know whats wrong
Can't a man dance to a noon day storm
Hell no I want peace of mind
This ain't up to you.
Well i woke up to the music shaking like a cleft
But I don't know where I am, but I want to forget
I don't know where I came up with that? Ughh.
You think if I slug this corner again
Will you love me? I'll ask this question again and again.
Why Why Why?
Oh no, nothing is wrong but you can't be who you are
Cause You know that love is free
Its up to you
I don't know whats wrong
Can't a man dance to a noon day storm
Hell no I want peace of mind
This ain't up to you.
Oh no, nothing is wrong but you can't be who you are
Cause You know that love is free
Cause I heard it from you
I don't know whats wrong
Can't a man dance to a noon day storm
Hell no I want my peace of mind
This ain't up to you.
Oh no It can't be
cause you know that
It ain't up to you
Oh no It can't be
cause you know that
It ain't up to you

I can't talk to you
you know I've been torn up
(been run right through)
walked all over
(down avenue bleeding blue)
I've yelled it out loud
I just can't let you break my soul
I was not to blame
(Bittersteep'd broken cup)
I've had enough
(Seen you right through)
Was not the wound, just the way that you cut
not so deep but just enough
I couldn't see my self desire
You know I was not the same
(I've been aloof)
Rather face the wall
(Than anything new)
Thought what can I do?
So whats the use
Whats it matter to you?
So, all my patience is gone
And I don't know what to do.
Well out-pissed without a clue
Bittersteep'd Broken Cup
Waltzing down the avenue bleeding blue
I can't talk to you
You know I'm not to blame
(Seen you right through)
Seen you right through
(I've had enough)
Was not the wound, just the way that you cut
so whats the use?
Please.

Allowed myself to open
I know what I have become
Everything I’ve wanted theres nothing I’ve forgotten
How was I that ever distraught?
I cant complain. No not at the moment
In midst of all this I'm moved
Because the sun is coming in and silhouetting you
Standing in that window frame nude
I know you went and turned to my story
I know you went and changed my story
The handwriting was new
The handwriting was you
We've had our share of tough moments
I thought we couldn't be cast
I went from burned to numb to believing someone
Why don’t you jostle that down in my story
Cmon I saw you write that down in my story
I can’t believe it was you
How could I known it was a matter of life's turnings?
All my desires and yearnings
Some were held with fear but most were always clear
If not, you come along and changed my story
you came through now and turned to my story
I know you went and turned to my story
Someone came and changed my story
The handwriting was you...
I've given up on all of my worrying
I feel content with my past
I can't flip back the pages
But I'm glad life's full of changes
Help turn the pages of our story
Lets add a new chapter to our story
Lets give a new spring to our story
Our story.

Waiting in the sun for everyone
Looking out over these empty fields
Under the moon, swaying in the breeze
the moonlight penetrates the sky.
Running around, wandering far far away
Oh and into the night, sailing off afar
I know you're just wondering why
I seem lost but its alright
I know I've seen comfort and pain
I'm just wandering by.

Do what I like
I know that can't be done
You know you never can be alone and free
not you not me.
And I hailed from Tennessee
with Irish blood for New York
and off the southern coast of feudal Italy
From Kiev to the Black Sea shore
Plus I got my bow and arrow wit from Cherokee in the North
But cmon, Thats not me yeah
You don't see my crying
You don't see me lying.
Run where I'd like
I know that can't be done
All the time
You know you never can be alone and free
not you not me.
And I hailed from Tennessee
with Irish blood from New York
and off the southern coast of feudal Italy
From Kiev to the Black Sea shore
Plus I got my bow and arrow wit from Cherokee in the North
Oh Oh, thats not me yeah, You don't see my crying
Well well, You don't see me lying.
