I'm so terrified of being alone but I need more time to myself most nights I'm alone in my bed and I'm always alone in my head So I spent the night in drinkin listenin to some favorite records at home soon enough my mind it starts to wander I get sad until I get stoned Lately I don't know myself she's bad for my health I can see that but I couldn't give a shit I'm just trying to get over it Starry eyes reflect starry skies drunken conversations in the grass spilling out my soul and all its worries you tell me the hard times don't last, but how do I know? How can I guarantee it when all my choices seem out of my control when she calls me how can I deny her I need heart to fill in the holes See what I crave is a little of you to look through and see myself I've been searching my head too but all I find is a crowded shelf full of look-at-me's and things undone I feel undone, I feel undone! That's isolation, put a gun to my brain and say "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" The world is outside not in your mind, and the answers true they are within, but not in me not in me not in me no I am looking for me through you

Nightshift 04:06
I've been workin the nightshift watchin the red shift of that crazy star your on wondering where you'll light down or whether you'll burn out bright enough to see it from my car But I'm tired of being tied and bound yes I'm tired of being around lately I feel so trapped between what everybody else want me to be and what I've felt for some time is right for me and I know we only play a part but sometimes, sometimes It's nice to pretend get a little lost in my head. Who am I to say who I'm supposed to be if I don't even understand what I mean when I say me only questions give you truth only ask and you are free The dashboard lights have been flickerin this body feels lived in things burn out quicker than we expect calculated obsolescence of my adolescence like a ship that's built to wreck But give me time give me time, I still need some peace of mind barely grown in my father's home he tried to wrap my heart in stone but I never forgot you can't make it on your own and I'm doin what I can to be a man but sometimes, sometimes I still like to pretend get a little lost in my head. Who am I to say who I'm supposed to be if I don't even understand what I mean when I say me only questions give you truth only ask and you are free It's nice to get a little lost in the good nights in the middle of the dark caught in the headlights, animals at heart tell me all your worries, show me where you're hiding in your head

I won't love you always we both know that but I don't believe I should be sorry for what I can't change within myself I'm an arrogant son of a bitch I'll admit but I'm sorry nonetheless and I still love you for now So let's not talk about the ways people fall out of love because it's just like givin up. I don't wanna talk about the future no I don't give a damn about the future if you're still here, what the hell is the use anyway? what's the use what's the use what's the use I still love you

Woke up this morning not quite sober quite hungover like a tired lover do not come over, I'm not ready yet Last night I drank away all my trouble got myself seeing double I know I'm out of touch but don't fill me in It's been a long week a death in the family, emotional atrophy mother I miss you, I wish you were close to me explain how such a bright flame could just fade away bullshit people like to say, at least she's not in pain can the family say the same? can the family say the same? can it stay the same You burnt out while I was out I left home without a doubt I'd see you in 4 weeks time, or thereabouts I can't remember your favorite song so I hope this one don't come off wrong but I need some way to cope now that you're gone I'll miss those nights when I'd stop by for a kinder word from a twinkling smile sadness never hung around your home too long And lately I feel in need of that a little smile a little laugh to get my mind off of everyone that ain't comin back It's been a long summer I know I've got good friends who say that they love me but do they know me like the ones that have left me? does it even matter, does it even matter? oh I wish I had answers but I've got only questions too how could you leave me like this? how could you leave me like this? thought we were friends

Happiest I've been in weeks rose red rush into your cheeks if I tell you you're all I need tell me would you cry when you leave Pick out all my favorite records get me high and play them backwards father john stole all the good words so I'll just let him speak for me Baby I got the car back hurry up and paint your nails black I've got some courage in my knapsack for the way back Baby played guitar back in high school bands with half stacks now she does surgery and me I can't keep intact Last cigarettes finish up don't hold your breath take one last drag on death before the singer sings the rest Sit here next to me see what you can't see on the t.v. kids singin poesy and heresy tell us how it is and how it could be Could be better tell us how it could be could be better tell us how it could be could be better tell us how it could be could be better tell us how it could be I could be better I'll admit but I can take a hit spent too much time bein sad about things lately Unfettered, barely better than I was before but at least I picked myself up off the floor so darlin let's make our way back towards the door
