Development

Spoken: The life cycle of a Sally Henshiena Norman
Commonly known as the frog
Can be broken down into sevral developmental stages
Each stage presents new challanges
We begin our study now with the first stage of development

Music:

Now
There's a crack on the inside
And I start to play
Now
My finger's stuck
Over stood my stay
Now, Now, Now
My world is bent
From this development
(this development)

Moving faster, than a
Storms rain after
The Plaster split
Where my fingers fit
Sure disaster
And growing faster
Than my skin can take
Least thats what they say

Now
There's a crack on the inside
And I start to play
Now
My finger's stuck
Over stood my stay
Now, Now, Now
My world is bent
From this development
(this development)

Crowded cluster
Do you trust her
To take the weight
Or make the change
Abandoned labor
Do yourself a favor
and do for you
Not what you're used to

Now
There's a crack on the inside
And I start to play
Now
My finger's stuck
Over stood my stay
Now, Now, Now
My world is bent
From this development
This development
(this development)

No more sanity
I can't stay here
Too many, many bad choices, choices
No more space to breath
I can't stay here
Too many, many damn voices, voices

Now
There's a crack on the inside
And I start to play
Now
My finger's stuck
Over stood my stay
Now, Now, Now
My world is bent
From this development
This development
This development

Circles

Going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in

Pedal to floor
Back in the seat
Purpose and will
Versus modern machine
Passing the slow
Defeating the weak
All with the tar on the street
And the weight of my feet
The sweat on my face
Wanting first place
More than you can
Understand

I'm going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles

Photo finish race
Rearviewed stare chase
Satisfaction only when
I finish at the end
If I follow all the rules
Promise that I'll win
Driven so confused that

I'm going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
I, I'm going around in circles

Holding on
By a threat
Cut me loose so I
Can contend
Hoping for
Something more than second place
First place or more
First place or more
First place or
More
Where will I be when I get to the end
Doens't matter what I place I began
Three hundred and sixtyonedegrees
And then

I, I'm going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles again
Going around in circles

Distant spoken:
Throughout a frogs development
Certain specific signs
Help us to recognize stages of
Growth and maturity

Your Signs

Gotta make the list of what is best
Gotta make the fist and beat against
Have to leave an impression
Do you have a suggestion
I'm all out of good ideas
The ones you have are whispered into your ears
With all you care to share
How did I end up here

Your signs are pointing to nowhere
That's exaclty where I won't go
Your signs are pointed to nowhere
And no one that I know
That's all you care to show me
Care to show me

Gotta make the list of what is best
Gotta make the fist and beat against
Have to make this perfectly clear
I'm not waiting for one million years
For us in general
You make the chemical
Situation I put us in
Unfamiliar is foreign land

Your signs are pointed to nowhere
That's exactly where I won't go
Your signs are pointing to nowhere
And no one that I know
Well that's all you care to show me

How would you like me
Where would you like me to be
And could you make me worry
Just a little more
The way you look at me confuses me
Even with you me next to me

Your signs are pointed to nowhere
That's exactly where I won't go
Your signs are pointing to nowhere
And no one that I know
Well that's all you care to show me
(Care)
Your signs
(To)
Your signs
(Show me)
Your signs
Care to show me
Care to show me
I won't go

Normal Days

Strange Days are normal.

Trying to find the words,
Making my mind up from what you've heard.

Winding down you're just finding,
What indifference you're having today.
Make your mind up it's never the same.
Sinking down, ceilings climbing,
While you're up to your neck in the same
Situation and start to complain.

Trying to find the words,
Making my mind up from what you've heard.

You can't fool me with your smiles.
Seen you treat whom you call your friends,
And you'll never be called that again.
Been on your knees for a while,
Searching through broken glass with your hands,
Can I offer you gloves again?

Trying to find the words,
Making my mind up from what you've heard.

The way, the time, the chance, a glance,
A second look at your stance on the way the day could
Change strange days to normal days.

My Own Sake

YEAH!!!

Just be patient
The best advice
I did not take
Superstellar
First impression
I did not make
Yea, My own inse-
Curities are
Not as bad as
You make them out
To be, and our
Time is running out so fast

I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake
I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake

Can't you see that
All of your
time is wasting
While where wasted
Tripping over and over and over
Our own feet when
We look too hard
For whats older, older, yes older
Then the day we
Got to this world
That's enough for,
Me to make a
good impression
When I'm walking through the door

I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake
I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake
For my own sake

I'll do what I have to
To be everything you want me to
Without putting you through all the questions
I'd like to mention
To you

I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake
I move this fast
And I make mistakes
For my own sake
For my own sake
For my own sake
For my own sake
For my own
Sake

Hands

I don't know how to say
To say make you understand
That when I turn my head to look I
Want to see your hands

You used to care
In the beginning
Felt like you'd always be there
Now I, see
That winning's not easy
It's something that needs to be
Held the right way
In the beginning
Feels like we're going to win
But somewhere
You caused this
To end

I don't know how to say
To say make you understand
That when I turn my head to look I
Want to see your hands

I need space too
But I wanted it with you
I need time to think too
But all I seem to think about
Is me minus you
In the beginning
Feels like we're going to win
But somwhere
you caused this to
End

I don't know how to say
To say make you understand
That when I turn my head to look I
Want to see your hands

In the beginning
Feels like we're going to win
Now it's the end
And we start to pretend
Somewhere
You caused this to end

I don't know how to say
To say make you understand
That when I turn my head to look I
Want to see your hands

I want to see your
Hands

Excessive Reaction

Gotta get from a
Point of pressure, to a
Point of no return, to
Turn me inside out
Brother, please
Tell the others, please
There are others
That don't know
About these

Standing
Responses
Failing
The answers
Screaming
So foreign
Excessive
Reaction

Bouncing off walls
Where the pictures hang
The last ones that
Made them fall before
Taking it all
With a grain of salt
And a bitter sweet
Memory of these

Standing
Responses
Failing
The answers
Screaming
So foreign
Excessive
Reaction

Insane and bottled in
Explain the state I'm in
Your electric pulse can't ail my sin
Explain the state I'm in

Not so lost
Not so fast
Not reacting
Not so
Not the pause
Not the past
Not reacting
Not so

Gotta get from a
Point of pressure, to a
Point of no return, to
Turn me inside out
I know my answers
Don't meet your satisfaction
But they cause your reaction
Excessive reaction
Excessive reaction
Excessive reaction
Excessive reaction
From you

Mountains

One more problem
How you've got them
All tied up with
A million things to do
Two more problems
How I've got them
One is someone else
Two is you
I hate that it had to come to this so fast
How else would I know if we would last

Making mountains
Out of mole hills
Taking fountains
Past thier fill
Making mountains
Out of mole hills
And making me
Want to kill

Every wonder
Every question
Everything that
I'm not sure is real
Every funny look
Every stop and stare
Every doubt in my mind
That you still care
I hate that it had to come to this so fast
How else would I know if we would last

Making mountains
Out of mole hills
Taking fountains
Past thier fill
Making mountains
Out of mole hills
And making me
Want to kill

Making mountains
Taking fountains
Shaking grounds with
Tiny problems
Cocreated
From the way you
Give direction
With affection

Making mountains
Out of mole hills
Taking fountains
Past thier fill
Making mountains
Out of mole hills
And making me
Want to kill

Making mountains
Out of mole hills
Taking fountains
Past thier fill
Making mountains
Out of mole hills
And making me
Want to kill

Spoken:
Stage three is when the specimen undergos
A complete development of wings
It explores dry land
Perfects hunting skills
It can come freely now
Through any terrain it chances
(chances, chances, chances, chances, chances)

Any Advice

Making choices and hoping that they're alright
Hating waiting for something to make this
Worth the waiting and what are you waiting for
Any advice

Intevention
Of a mental melt down
Too late to help
It's out of my hands now
Do you want to
Do what you want to and
Not tell me how
Explanations
Are more than I'm asking for
Just suggestions
Not unfeeling metaphors
No recaps
All over again
To remember tonight
And make this worth a fight

Making choices and hoping that they're alright
Hating waiting for something to make this
Worth the waiting and what are you waiting for
Any advice

We are losing
All sight of
The big picture
And there is no light on
Upstairs there's nobody home
And I'll unplug the phone
Misdirected aggression
From an obvious lack of attention
Would you care if I mention the fact
That I'm losing my mind
And I'm not even looking this time

Making choices and hoping that they're alright
Hating waiting for something to make this
Worth the waiting and what are you waiting for
Any advice

Could you spare for a friend
So I don't do it twice
And fall into a trend
And make this happy story end
There's a crack in the ice
Any advice
Any advice
Any advice

Making choices and hoping that they're alright
Making mistakes and thinking they're always right
Making choices and hoping that they're alright
Hating waiting for something to make this
Worth the waiting and what are you waiting for
Any advice

Intervention
Of a mental melt down
Too late to help
It's out of my hand now
Do you want to
Do what you want and
Not tell me how

Hide And Seek

Forearms can't cover up
The lies in hiding
Counting makes the only sound
While I wait for hours to be found
So much for making up rules
While we're playing

Who cares about the rules anyway
They're for mindless fools and child's play

This time
(This time)
Yea, this time
(This time)
It's my turn
It's not your turn

Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or not
Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or not

Why should it make sense
Why are you so unspontaneous
And why does your way
Sound the same as yestarday
So I'll shift
And bite again
Draw a mark
On your skin
That turns you the color pink
What exactly will they think of you

This time
(This time)
Yea, this time
(This time)
It's my turn
It's not your turn

Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or not
Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or

Why are you jealous
Over bearing, overzealous
What for
What for
Is it the lost memory
Of all those games you played with me
All those games you played with me
All those games you played on me
All those games you played on me
On me

Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or not
Counting helps the hiding
But what I seek
I'm not finding
Ready or not
Ready or not
Ready or not
Ready or not

Get Inside

What I do
Makes the worst of you
And a good situation
Gone bad from the start
A classification
That slowly tears us apart

Forget about polite
Hurry up and fight
Your words are just lying there helpless
Hurry up and fight
And get inside
We've started
While you wait for nothing

Where did our calm
Conversations go
Why don't we continue this show
I don't want to relax
Or lower my voice
It's my choice
And I proudly choose to hide

Forget about polite
Hurry up and fight
Your words are just lying there helpless
Hurry up and fight
And get inside
We've started
While you wait for nothing

These walls are so thing
I can hear every sin
No confession
For obsessions
That they covet
And squeeze in your arms
Cause you're hiding
While confiding
Is going too far
Past the point of harmless charm

Forget about polite
Hurry up and fight
Your words are just lying there helpless
Hurry up and fight
And get inside
We've started
While you wait for nothing

While you wait for nothing
Forget about polite
Get
In-
Side

Mint

I'll take back what is left
Of what you've had
Barely enough
To keep me dead

Tell me how to make some sense
Of the mess you left me with
You used up every chance with me
To settle for you
Won't settle for me

This
Need for
More has me
Cold and shakey
No
More wait -
Ing for a
Reaction face
When they hear about
The trouble that started
When you and I met
And let me remind you
I plan to get through
With or without you

Just tell me how to make some sense
Of the mess you left me with
You used up every chance with me
To settle for you
Won't settle for me

Want
Verses need
Don't push me
I have no need
Buy
Or sell
Those beans are
A nuclear
Falling out
Disaster, that called in the troops
Even faster then when
All the lights went to red
Instead of the days when we
Made eachother

And we tried to make some sense
Of the mess you left me with
You used up every chance with me
To settle for you
Won't settle for me

Later please
Doesn't put my mind as ease
Pushes me away
Say what you have to

If you try to make some sense
Of the mess you left me with
You used up every chance with me
To settle for you
Won't settle for me

Tell me
How to
Make sense
Of this
Nonsense
Distress
Won't
Settle down

Later please
Doesn't put my mind at ease
Pushes me away
Say what you have to
Say

Spoken:

Adulthood,
The final stage in the life cycle of the frog
Physical growth has reached it's syntex
Proficiency improves
Via new expiriences and fresh stimuli
The frog, like all organisms,
Continues to develop and nuture until expiration
