New Place 05:19
You are on your own Without a hope or a family With no one to call your own Say what you are to me Say what you were to me Say what you are to me Now

New People 03:53
A full room Alone and soon No one to talk about it Pleasantries change your self is arranged to scared to go and talk to sound her your courage is drained your mind is unframed I guess it's time to go and face a choir So you say, you are not, like anyone who came before So you say, I forgot, my mind is like the setting sun. So you say I am not, like all the ones who came before So you say I forgot, my mind is like the setting sun So you say I forgot, so you say I forgot. With a shift in the room I feel acidic in my mouth I must say I don't feel myself right now I must say I don't feel myself now I wish I could melt into the wall Leave this conversation because it reminds me Of my hopes, of my fear, of just how cruel people can be

You asked me what I could provide for this world I said I could give a quiet life for me and a girl, if she would You said that sounds like just laying down to give up Because I am inadequate, I'm inadequate, and I'm scared of it, I'm scared of it You wish you could say more of your life than it, it just was You wish you could fill it with whatever you can, that seems real and I won't lie it feels like you are settling for an ideal and I can't play the part in the life that you put out I'm inadequate, I'm inadequate and I'm scared of it, I'm scared of it I can't equal what you see in your mind I'm just a child playing a man once in a while And if you insist on growing up so damn fast buy a house, have a child, find a wife, be happy then buy a house, have a child, find a wife, be happy then I'm sure you'll be happy then You asked me what I could provide for this world I said I could guarantee the happiness of just myself, myself alone you said it's so selfish to just care for your life Because I'm inadequate, I'm inadequate and I'm O.K. with it, I'm O.K. with it I'm inadequate, I'm inadequate and I'm O.K. with it, I'm O.K. with it

Fine 07:05
Hope is only Loneliness I wait around hoping I would catch your eye Now darling I I am no good at that My mind tells me that I want you as part of a pair So I I try to interact The hope that you bring to my life is more Than I knew exists In these modern times But hope is all that pins my brain down to the floor So I I have come to resign It's one o'clock in the afternoon We're drunk enough and if not we will be soon I want to kiss you I want to feel you near But I am so afraid You'll say It is still My turn to be alone Modern times are all we have They say all modern things are bad Theorists say your only choice Is to stick your flag On a sinking boat. And I Wish you Would sink to the bottom with me They say people our age can only Care about themselves That all these I's and lack of we's will lead To a breakdown of reality And I Wish your I Could be a we with me And if the end of it all is as close as they say Then I'm afraid of dying alone At a time when hope is all I have in life So I Wish you Would just not pass me by It's three o'clock in the afternoon I'm drunk enough and you will be soon You looked into my eyes and my nerve wasn't there And all I could say was I know I'm not what you want, or you need or you care But please, please, please Please, please, don't pass me by Please, please, don't pass me by I know it's not fair I know it's not right To think you would want to spend your nights with me When I can't even stand myself When I can't stand by myself And I wish I could be something more And I wish I could be something more To you To you To make you care That modern times are all we have They say all modern times are bad So I give you this thoroughly modern choice You can stay with me or just leave me alone

Wait Life 05:41
I feel myself grow Older with the fade of promise It wasn't like teachers told Work has not lead to progress The work, the work, it's true It doesn't have much to do with you The words, the words, they say They aren't what they are cracked up to be Time and fate it's true It's all ambivalent towards you These words, these words I say Aren't what they are meant to be Time and fate it's true It's all Ambivalent towards you These words, these words they say Aren't what they are meant to be. I've been waiting all my life for someone to tell me I did it just right I’m just trying. I ran so hard just to get to the start It sounds kind of zen but I swear that its not. I’m just lying. When I get to that invisible line will I be mature enough to know that it’s time. I’m not looking. These things seem to be my faults. I guess it’s just part of being an adult. I’m just waiting. I’m just waiting for life begin.

Wait Love 04:49
I used to think people defined my purpose In my ability to care For twenty years I wandered Asking if they were there So I filled my time with your love Until it became an idea I knew you only as surface Until thats what I called real And to this life I serviced So happiness was unreal You left me alone for so long I forgot how people feel The warmth your hand on my thigh A touch of your breath from your mouth My words upon your body Were all I had left It took me twenty years to find love What's twenty more
7.
Time Tense 05:02
You were born whenever It's not like it defines what you do with your life, oh, oh What you want from it is Is a word in a book thats a lie, I don't think I would try oh, no You were made so vibrant, you feel every tick of time Except the one that beats inside, oh, oh You said your life was over you were young but You'd run out of time out of time, oh oh You're so set in your fears and set in your ways you tried to put your fear into mine I can't live that lie, no To you life is a weight you drop on yourself And it crushed you, you think that's just fine Thats it's just fine no And to live under all that pressure All of which of it you have supplied Doesn't make for a very good, time You were safe yourself but, You made me doubt all that defined my life and times, oh, oh What you replaced it with was, was a fear of the future That I can't survive, oh, no In of a life of possibles you said I'd guessed wrong every time like an ending line, oh, oh If that's the truth then, I won't waste any more of your time your fucking time, oh, no You're so set in your fears and set in your ways so you tried to put your fear into mine I can't live that lie To you life is a weight you drop on yourself And it crushed you, you think thats just fine Thats just fine no And to live under all that pressure all of which of it you have supplied Doesn't make for a very good, time

Safe House 07:50
I saw your face From every hall I heard your voice Off every wall And you were never really there You were never there at all I thought things were getting better But they haven't changed at all I walked away oh late last night Back to my troubled home oh late last night When I stepped inside its not my life When I stepped inside its not my life Its so dark this house of mine The things I have bring night And I wish I felt safe at night And I wish I felt safe at all It's so dark this room of mine With nothing but my mind and time Hope is all that I survive a little walk away a light outside A little walk away a light outside I thought things were getting better Thought I could make it on my own But now I know better Theres nothing in this life alone And you were never really there You were never really there at all And now I know better I have to make this life my own I can make it on my own. Have a safe walk back to you house Have a safe life back in you're home and if you have someone waiting for you at home hold them close to your heart because your not safe in you're home you're not safe in your home
