How Am I Gonna Know
I keep going over what I said
How your eyes disguise your mind
A most incredible blood red
But there's nothing coming out
There's just empty stares instead
And I dont know what it's about
Thanks to all your silence
CHORUS
How am I gonna know
If you wont talk to me?
How am I gonna show you
What you got if you won't look at me?
And now I know
This ain't what its supposed to be
And how am I gonna know
If you wont talk to me?
I use to hang on every word
That you never said
But it never occurred
It was only in my head
The only voice I heard was mine
Saying everything is fine
It was hypnotizing
CHORUS
Its not fair
To leave me here
When I'm this wasted
Its not fair
No, no
I guess you were never there
I keep going over what I said
How your eyes disguise your mouth
The most incredible blood red
But there's nothing coming out
Except for all this silence
Except for all this silence
Except for all this silence
Except for all this silence
Except for all this silence
How am I gonna know
If you wont talk to me?
How am I gonna show you
What you got if you won't look at me?
And now I know
This ain't what its supposed to be
And how am I gonna know?
Well, how am I gonna know
If you wont talk to me?
How am I gonna show you
What you got if you won't look at me?
And now I know
This ain't what its supposed to be
And how am I gonna know
If you won't talk to me
If you won't talk to me
If you won't talk to me
If you won't talk to me
If you won't talk to me
Run Away
There's a reason to live and there's a reason to die
There's a reason to stay and there's a reason to fly
You don' know what you want but you can't say goodbye
There's a reason to give and there's a reason to try now
It's all gone and you're feeling alone
You can't look back but you can't go home
you just can't take this another day
But there's no one to blame cuz you're runnin away
Way, way, way, way you run away
You're so damn scared of settling down
You try to make it right but keep messin around
You're getting the bills but forgetting to pay
And you're trying your best to stop running away
All in do time for you my friend
Everything comes 'round in the end
Pretty soon there'll be nowhere to run
No more friends and no more fun
The future looks bleak and the sky is grey
But you're sick and tired of runnin away
Set You Free
She starts talkin' to me
I hear her voice, it's like a whisper in my ear
But she ain't saying nothing to me
That makes me want more, makes me want more
Bu it's all that I can do to stay
When she's leaving the floor, leaving the floor
And it's all because of me
CHORUS
I'll set you free
I know how your face looks when you're down
And you won't have me with you, so just rage
And put your faith in this life, set you free
I just want you to live
You can't see the end in the beginning
And I don't know how to explain
That we've been here before, I've been here before
And I've begun to think of you this way
That's why I'm needing it more, needing it more more
And it's all because of me, don't you see?
And it's all because of me
CHORUS
I want you to believe in me, so that I can believe in you
That's all we need to do to get us through this
She stops talking to me
With spiraling eyes that keep on twirling
And that ring does it shine for me
Like you said when I was shaking my rusty tambourine around your head
And I'm still needing it more, needing it more
And it's all because of me
CHORUS
'Cause I know how you look
When you're looking me down, looking me down
'Cause I know how you look
When you're looking me down, looking me down
Stop Saying Goodbye
You never do know
Which way you should go when you run
Don't take it from me
I can't make you see how far you've come
And if I shook you all up said you were good enough
Could I be the one?
Please don't expect me to offer you truth
When the next one in line might be better for you
You think I'd be sad, but it just makes me madder
The harder I try there's just more left to lose
CHORUS
You're facing frustration and intoxication
Stop saying goodbye, another location
Won't give you the answer, it has it's own cancer
Stop saying goodbye, it isn't the answer
Well, it isn't just me
There are others who need you around
But you're nowhere tonight
'Cause you know that you might let them down
The ones who adore you will all be there for you
Just give them a chance and don't put up a fight
Kill the ignition and make a decision to stay where you are
And start living your life
CHORUS
It's your life to build or burn down
Just try to learn from what you've found
It's your life to build or burn down
Just try to keep your feet on the ground
Stop saying goodbye
Stop saying goodbye
CHORUS
Stop saying goodbye
Stop saying goodbye
Faux Gucci Girl
This night is not over yet
Not everybody's got what they came to get
Swing on by, you won't regret
If you meet at my place at three
Neighbors never understand
My post-party parties are never planned
Bring your supply 'cause I'm the man
You can watch the Sun rise with me
BRIDGE
I wanna party in the Hollywood hills
With a hottie and a couple pink pills
DJ play something I feel inside my chest
My mind moves like a motor maxed-out as she spills
All over my body like chills
Tongues takin' turns trying to touch 'til we do the rest
CHORUS
Nobody wants to come back down
(Nobody wants to come back down)
Keep feelin the way we feel right now
(Keep feelin the way we feel)
There's nothing that matters to me now
The music in my head so high
So Sun, when you come
I'm not going home, I'm not done
This night is not over yet
Not everybody's got what they came to get
Swing on by, you won't regret
If you meet at my place at three
People gettin' down together Faux Gucci girl in patent leather
Bathroom trips that last forever let you be who you want to be
I wanna fly from this room to the moon
Fantasize as I flow to this tune
Realize it's never too soon to feel my best
My mood varies as she carries her heat to my feet
Back bobbing to the burnin' beat
Can't come down, tastes too sweet
As I reach the crest
CHORUS
A-two-three-four-five-sixty-seven
Another day takes shape, we play together
Another way to find a little piece of Heaven
'Til we're up all night again
A-two-three-four-five-sixty-seven
Another day takes shape, we play together
Another way to find a little piece of Heaven
'Til we're up all night again
BRIDGE
Nobody wants to come back down
(Nobody wants to come back down)
Keep feelin the way we feel right now
(Keep feelin the way we feel)Nobody wants to come back down
(Nobody wants to come back down)
Keep feelin the way we feel right now
(Keep feelin the way we feel)
There's nothing that matters to me now
The music in my head so high
So Sun, when you come
I'm not going home, I'm not done
Rod Beck
So I woke up this morning with this weird feeling
And it was kind of like I was not really myself anymore
So I ran to the mirror and it was still me
That same cynical, doubtful, unshaven, dirty look
Unshaven, dirty
Look, I don't know what's wrong with me, I mean
I've been trying to figure it out for some time now
Talkin' to people about it
It's kind of hard to explain
I mean it's kind of like a lack of excitement about anything, hm
CHORUS
Maybe I need to address these issues with someone who is a professional
Maybe I need to say that I wish you would leave me alone, this is personal
The other night I just think I was pissed when you told me you thought I had lost control
Maybe I need to address these issues with someone who is a professional
I don't know, maybe it's just a phase or something
I'm just going to get through or get over
Maybe I'm just jaded for the time being
You know, just desensitized from growing up in a time when, you know
I was barraged with action movies and video games and
Overblown media hype, scandals and exposes
And the line between reality and fiction completely blurred, you know?
CHORUS
Professional, professional, professional, professional
It's almost like my eyes are the lenses of a camera
And I'm watching everything happen around me
I've grown so accustomed to looking at things from afar
In this weird kind of detached third person sort of way
That I find myself waiting for things to happen to me in my life
And then all of a sudden I've come to this incredible understanding
That my life is happening as all this is occurring
As I'm waiting my life is happening, this is my life
And it's a little bit upsetting
Go, go
CHORUS
Words To Live By
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

CHORUS

Give me love that I can at least try
Sing me songs that make me laugh and cry
Tell me words that I can live by
Are you going to take a nice trip? (yeah)
If you had a beer would you let me have a sip? (yeah)

INTRO
CHORUS
CHORUS
Abandon Confusion
Times come, you hid,
Feeling bad, what you did
Somebody warns you to
Slip away, what to do?
Take away all you got
Think about what you're not
I would love just to have
One more chance
CHORUS
I may appear a certain way
I may not do everything you say
I may not be the chosen one
But you'll learn to live with what I've become
Another chance only seems fair
But if you can't I won't care
Another day to run away
From everything I've done is fine with me
You feel this way, how 'bout that?
Yesterday all you had
Disappeared into thin air
You're not here: you're not there
Take a look at yourself today
Focus in on all things you say
Seek the answers you need to know
Realize it's so far to go
I could say just to run
Not to face all you've done
Don't be the last one to hate
Everything
I may appear a certain way
I may not do everything you say
I may not be the chosen one
But you'll learn to live with what I've become
Another chance only seems fair
But if you can't I won't care
Another day to run away
From everything I've done
Here it comes
Here the day comes when collapsing all
And once, here it comes
Take a look at yourself today
Focus in on all things you say
Seek the answers you need to know
CHORUS
My Advice
What kind of person would ever have the gall to do this?
That would be me, but then again you knew this
To belong to you is just something that I do
It's cold, I know
I resuscitate my feelings daily for you
It necessitates this healing not to bore you
But I do my thing, what the Hell?
When on the surface all is well tonight
CHORUS
Nobody wants to feel this way again
Nobody ever wanted to, my friend
She keeps paying the price
After taking my advice
When I reach the end I hope that she will be there
Did I mention this was never meant to be fair?
I'm on a collision course with you, my dear
With every force alive
An attention to detail is no solution
It only further poisons us just like pollution
Never in the mood and never wanting to be rude
It's hard, I know
CHORUS
Uh-huh
Taking my advice
Come on
She's going to be everything if you let her
It's going to be alright if you can stick together
And if you know that you will make it better
You will receive all you wanted to see
But she's not here and you're not clear
Another lost and wasted lonely night
CHORUS
CHORUS
Part'e
I woke up on the floor next to the door with nothing to say,
it was the same damn feeling that I had yesterday.
I didn't feel like doing anything but running away,
it was the same damn feeling that I had yesterday.
I'm feeling down, down deeper down, am I here to stay?
This is the same damn feeling that I had yesterday.
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
except maybe part'e
except maybe part'e
My spirits not broken 'cause I'm tokin every second away,
it is the same damn thing that I did yesterday.
I light a little fire then I'm higher than the milky way,
it is the same damn thing that I did yesterday.
Just wanna lie here, right near the music I play,
it is the same damn thing that I did yesterday.
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
except maybe part'e
except maybe part'e
I'm a crazy guy with a flair for the flamboyant,
fabulous figured, fake breasted females.
Crazy guy with a flair for the flamboyant,
fabulous figured, fake nosed and fake nailed
No one seems to understand me now,
that's why I wake up every morning marked April and May,
with this crazy feeling that I never will change.
I'm sick of faking it, and taking shit from everybody,
but there's this same damn feeling that I never can change,
that I never can change,
never can change,
never can change,
never never never never never never can change.
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
don't wanna... do nothing
don't wanna... do nothing today
except maybe part'e
do nothing...
don't wanna...
do nothing...
