SLOW GLOW
All my life I've never really seen
Days going by never knowing what they mean
Love, can you hear me? Why do you fear me?
All I ever wanted was you near me
That's how this is gonna go
Days going by and this shit is getting old
Can't help but wonder, another summer
Passes by and I'm still six feet under
February bears a new gift, I should take it
And though those years, they come
I don't feel any different
I'll go slow
Until I know
Slow glow
CLUE
Sometimes I feel like we are playing a game
I have stuck to you though we are nothing like the same
I'm trying to pay attention to you babe
Does that make it real or do I not have a clue?
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
You're getting lazy with the placement of that sofa in your basement
In your mind time isn't wasted, in all the time you've tasted
Be a good boy for your mother, learn that women know all things
I don't want your diamond ring, I just want to have a clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue me in so patiently and when the moment came
So you've got a girl friend how come I don't know her name?
I'll just let it be known that I am um
Moistening my vocal chords with uh Pepsi right now
Huh advertisement
I wasn't even paid to do that
Sometimes I feel like you must have forgot
Who the fuck I am and who the fuck I'm not
I wouldn't have tried for you I wish it weren't true
Now I'm not the only one who needs to get a clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
You must be starving for attention from that girl you didn't mention
Though I don't know your intentions I'm fairly good at guessin'
Be a good boy for your mother, learn that women know all things
I don't want your diamond ring, I just want to have a clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue
Clue me in so patiently, when the moment came
So you've got a girl friend how come I don't know her name?
I wouldn't have tried for you I wish it weren't true
Now I'm not the only one who needs to get a clue
Clue, clue, clue, clue (Yeah get a)
Clue, clue, clue, clue (You need it)
NO TIME
I look in your eyes, I can tell that you are lonely
I could take a ride, I could be your one and only
Try me on for size, better if we take it slowly
It will be no time before I will let you hold me
You look in my eyes, that's when I start breathing heavy
I could be your skies, but that's only if you'll let me
Pleasantly surprised, what you'll be if you come get me
I have no disguise, if you're ready then I'm ready
If you're ready then I'm ready
If you're ready then I'm ready
FLUORIDE FREESTYLE
Something isn't right
And it sounds like
I drink out the tap though it is not good for my head
I was half asleep so I missed everything you said
Maybe it'd be better if you wrote it down instead
Maybe I'd be better, be better off dead
​
There's something that I meant to do but I must have forgot
Sadly I'm just 22 and that happens a lot
I don't have the energy to be someone I'm not
So if he thinks I'm cute of course I'm gonna shoot my shot
I'm the next generation of misguided (Misguided)
And all my inner beauty babe it's getting hard to hide it
The truth is I'm aloof and there is no getting by it
I don't care what you think maybe sometime you should try it
​
I got crumbs in my bed no boys
(Something isn't right)
No thoughts in my head just noise
(And it sounds like)
I just count the seconds as they make it to the grave
Too impatient not to wait and watch the microwave
When my skin starts gettin sticky then I know it's gonna rain
Can't have something beautiful without a little pain
I'm the next generation of misguided (Misguided)
And all my inner beauty babe it's getting hard to hide it
The truth is I'm aloof and there is no getting by it
I don't care what you think maybe sometime you should try it
​
I got crumbs in my bed no boys
(Something isn't right)
No thoughts in my head just noise
(And it sounds like)
I got crumbs in my bed no boys
(No thoughts in my head)
Just noise
WAIT, WHAT?
Hahaha wait, what?
​
It's 3 in the morning on a Friday night
We don't get many chances like this one who knows when it'll come again
(It won't come again)
It hurts more to think you will never know
Maybe one moment of confidence is all I need to start the show
Wait - But I pause - what! It's no use
You said you wanted a girl who wears nice as a noose
Yea a girl who wears nice as a nooseI'm so mean, I don't even know what I say (What the fuck did I say?)
I could tell you that I'm just a product
And I just grew up this way
So why not me, when I'd give you all that I can?
Is there something about a strong woman that scares you
And makes you feel less like a man?
Do I make you feel less like a man?
Wait, wait, wait, what?
And that's why with you I lose
You said you wanted a girl who wears nice as a noose
And that's why (Yeah that's why yeah that's why)
It's no use (It's no use, it's no use)
You said you wanted a girl who wears nice as a noose
And that's not the necklace I choose
T.O.E. (INTERLUDE)
He said, "Hurry up as we divide,
It won't hurt to say how you feel inside
I need to know, need to know how you feel"
Well, T.O.E. is all I sing
'Cause I've grown tired of everything
Don't even know, even know what is real
Or how I feel
I FEEL SICK!
I scream it 'till I have no voice
Loneliness is not a choice
Something here just doesn't click
So much so that I feel sick
I feel sick, I feel sick
Help me baby what's the trick
Burnin' till there's no more wick
So much so that I feel sick
​
It's 4am, 4am, I still can't put these fires out
I'm laying down with thoughts all lurkin'
Still don't know what love's about
Don't you get that I'm still learning
I'm just tryna be myself
It's hard to keep these fires burning
So much so that
​
I scream it 'till I have no voice
Loneliness is not a choice
Something here just doesn't click
So much so that I feel sick
I feel sick, I feel sick
Help me baby what's the trick
Burnin' till there's no more wick
So much so that I feel sick
​
We walk in circles, jump no hurdles
Cannot skip through these commercials
I just make it so much worse
Think I need a doobie first
Bone as dry as the sahara
Gonna need some stormy weather
When the rain is pouring down
That's when I'll keep you around
​
I scream it 'till I have no voice
Loneliness is not a choice
Something here just does not click
So much so that (well that fuckin' sucked)
I feel sick, I feel sick
Help me baby what's the trick
Burnin' till there's no more wick
So much so that I feel sick
​
I scream it 'till I have no voice
Loneliness is not a choice
Something here just doesn't click
So much so that I feel sick
I feel sick, I feel sick
Help me baby what's the trick
Burnin' till there's no more wick
So much so that I feel sick
REFLECTIONZ
Melanie, did you bring any artwork or anything?
I made love to my pillow with my eyes closed the whole time, I don't think he will call me back, he didn't seem quite into that
But I dreamed so beautifully that night
I know that really doesn't make it right
​
I've been catching myself falling deeper and deeper into
Patterns I don't recognize and they don't recognize me either
When is the cycle gonna a break?
Everything I feels been feeling fake, Damn straight
​
Oh hell, I knew it well
Lost in a maze of resistance to change
What I thought you were
Was nothing but my reflection in the water
I am not safe behind these walls
I've built them up to watch them fall
In the light of the blaze
It's easiest for me to turn the page
​
It's like running up a tall hill
All my breath was lost
And something that I just couldn't hold on to
Runnin, still runnin
GRAND THEFT AUDIO
Sorry that's the TV, but don't be distracted by it
Okay, the year is 2006. I'm going to sing a song called
What songs are on your iPod? Cause I'm gonna steal it someday
What songs are on your iPod? Cause I'm gonna steal it someday
And maybe today is the day
Maybe today will go my way
So keep your eyes on your iPod
Cause I'm gonna steal it today
Keep yours hands on your iPod
I am gonna get my way
Nothing will feel just as right
As the way I'll be singing your songs tonight
TROUBLED IN THE MIND
Keep on spinning your web of lies
It's good to know that you're that type
Eight different women catching all eight of your eyes
And yes I've noticed don't act surprised
Wrap me up in your cocoon
So I can finally fly
And get the fuck away from you
God knows how hard I've tried
​
I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time
In trouble don't know what to do
When I'm pulling out my hair like I don't even care
I'm coming, I'm coming for you
I'm looking in the mirror, I'm counting all your fears and usin' 'em to find out the truth
Cause I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time, I'm troubled
​
Keep on spinning your web of lies
It's good to know that you're that type
Eight different women catching all eight of your eyes
So when I dip don't act surprised
​
Wrap me up in your cocoon
So I can finally fly
And get the fuck away from you
Instead of wasting time
I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time
In trouble don't know what to do
When I'm pulling out my hair like I don't even care
I'm coming, I'm coming for you
I'm looking in the mirror, I'm counting all your fears and usin' 'em to find out the truth
Cause I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time, I'm troubled, I'm troubled with you
​
I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time
In trouble don't know what to do
When I'm pulling out my hair like I don't even care
I'm coming, I'm coming for you
I'm looking in the mirror, I'm counting all your fears and usin' 'em to find out the truth
Cause I'm troubled in the mind yeah
Troubled all the time, I'm troubled, I'm troubled with you
ALL OF ME (OUTRO)
We see the sun, breathe the same air
But you don't seem, don't seem to care who
I really am behind the curtain
I know you want selfishly (Boy you're so selfish)
To discover all of me
So when we're through (When we're through)
You'll take it all with you
All of me, you say that you want all of me
But baby I am not complete, I am not complete
Instead of haunting me I hope this song will give you peace
Because all of me belongs to me only
(Tell me)
Just tell me if you are the one
Or has it all gone to your head?
Tell me what use is your love
If all you do is pretend?
I want this to be the end
Why can't we just be friends?
