Miss You, Miss (1.17.08)

Your laugh that brushed my skin so warm is gone
Now the cold breeze plucks at these hairs on my arms
for they, they are raised for I, I am afraid
that I lost what heaven gave, gave to me
And now the chill, my heart's getting ill
Icicles in a jail cell
Icicles plastered like a jail cell
Nothing is getting in
and no love's getting out
(if only you would say...)
"I miss you, Miss,
Miss who kissed
and softened my lips.
And if one wish,
I'd wish to kiss
the lips of the Miss I miss."
She misses her mister,
Mister who kissed her
And like an elixir
he healed and he fixed her.
(these icicles could melt away)
"I miss you, Miss"
--She misses her mister
"Miss who kissed"
--Mister who kissed her
"and softened my lips"
--and like an elixir
"And if one wish"
--he healed
"I'd wish to kiss"
--and he fixed her
"The lips of the Miss I miss"
--the lips of the Mister I miss
These icicles could melt away
if only I could kiss your face

Choose You (9.21.05)

Can you feel the way that I do?
Can your heels fit into my shoes?
What would you steal if I couldn't get it for you?
Who would you heal if you had to choose?
I'd choose you.
I'd choose you.
Can you understand the things I say,
or does my speech impediment get in the way?
It's called truth and it makes hard
to say the words that dwell in my heart.
But I'd tell you.
I'd tell you.
I'd tell you, I'd choose you,
I'd tell you the truth.
Can you feel the way I do?
Can your heels fit into my shoes?

Nobody (4.23.06)

Why did I almost faint when I was alone
Maybe I’m falling in love with myself
Maybe I’m loving me for me for me for me, nobody but me can no longer have me
I want to keep me to myself, give me to nobody else
Seeing my face staring back at me, I decide how I can be treated and how I am to treat
If I want love, I can love myself
If I want hate, I can hate myself
If I want happy, I’ll just tell myself a joke
Force a laugh, it doesn’t matter, for as long as I smile, I’ve gotten some joy out of it
Everyone loves Someone
But I’m Nobody
And No One loves Nobody
Nobody but me

Welcome to my heart
Sorry it’s a little messy
I have yet to clean up
Just take off your shoes
Make yourself at home
That key you can lose
The lock is broken into pieces
Keep your hands in at all times
Mainly for safety reasons
Don’t mind the stains
Have you noticed?
I’ve rearranged
Be careful not to slip and fall in love with me
Be careful not to slip and fall in love
Be careful not to slip and fall
And watch out for the cracks
Look, I’ve hung your picture on my wall
Colored red it used to be
But painted over now
It’s an envious green
Be careful not to slip and fall in love with me
Be careful not to slip and fall in love
Oh that right there?
Why that would be my heart
My emotions’ lair
It’s been exchanged for a punching bag
And you left the biggest bruise
What’s come of this heart I had?
Be careful not to slip and fall in love with me
Be careful not to slip and fall in love
With a rapid heart beat, I just faint, every time I
see your face
It’s sad, I know, I’ve got to go, my heart beat
quickens
Be careful not to slip and fall in love with me

Got stuck in it
Like honey without the flavor
Sucking it through a straw
But it’s way too heavy
Just like you
Let you burden on my mind
Let you sit there a while
Let you fit through my smile
Just like the piano sings
A hammer and some strings
Your hammer to my mind’s strings
Just like a lobotomy
What’s left of me?
Just a vegetable state.
Just like the one you ate.
The one on your dinner plate.
The one as a kid you used to hate.
That’s me.
The healthy thing
That you don’t want
Until you’re older
After my heart’s grown colder
Ripped up the folder
Of confidentiality
Between you and me.
There’s someone knocking at my door
There’s someone knocking at my door
Special delivery
What’s this, is it for me?
It’s too late, I’m grown
And you’re already alone
I can’t take this gift
What’s this package?
What’s this gift wrap?
I don’t need it
I don’t want it
I’m too healthy for these gifts
Of chocolate, roses, things you try bribe me with.
There’s no one knocking anymore.
There’s no one knocking at my door.

Can you believe what he told me?
He told me he would change for me,
he told me he’d be a different person for me.
I didn’t want him to change.
I just wanted a different person.
When the bones in my body rub together and they break, they break,
Never am I gonna curse or take in vain your name.
It's not your fault that I have ended up this way.
I keep racking my brain.
Am I prolonging the inevitable?
Am I trying to over-control?
Get yourself a bowl of cereal.
Get your head in it.
Put your head in it.
When the day of the gray seems like it will never,
ever fade,
I'm gonna be the one calling on your name,
for when the day seems cold, and I wanna be the same,
nothing in vain.
Am I prolonging the inevitable?
Am I trying to over-control?
Get yourself a bowl of cereal.
Put your head in it.
Get your head in it.
Am I prolonging the inevitable?
Am I trying to over-control?
Get yourself a bowl of cereal.
Put your head in it.
Get your head in it.

Does She Know?
02:39
|

Does she know you called me
The thing that made you happy
While referring to all else as all ugly
Does she know you told me
That I could make you smile
Well how about this smile?
Girl you better watch out for the ways
Tha he lies to you behind your face
And I would not trust him more than I can
Trust a snail to save me from a hanging cliff
Does she know you called me
The thing that made you happy
While referring to all else as ugly
Oh baby if she knew
She might castrate you
But that’s not my plan
It’s not up to me, to save you from
Relationships gone ugly
I can try to warn, that’s all I can do,
But as for me, I’m leaving you
There is nothing to keep me here anymore
And when you go to sleep, I cannot stand your snore
I cannot stand to be her, walking out the door
I see you around, well maybe I won’t see you anymore
But does she know that I made you the happiest
Does she know that I even exist,
I do not think so, I do not think so,
I do not think so.
But what do I know?
I may be wrong.
Girl, you better get your mind around him
Or he’s gonna fool you every chance he gets
Girl, you better get your act together
Figure out where you lines are
Don’t change them once you’ve made them
Don’t subtract your addition skills
You gotta keep on going.
Somebody’s gotta fight him,
‘cause that’s all the way you’re gonna win.

Scissor Runner (4.23.06)
04:42

|
I’m running with scissors
Gonna cut us in half
Your paper doll goes this way
Mine goes that
I’m running with scissors
Gotta get there fast
Cutting our telephone wires
Such an easy task
I can’t hear you
What a relief
This is the best
That’s my honest belief
Pulling down shades
Where did you go?
My room is darker now
But my life much brighter
I’m letting go of that which makes me tired,
That which I once held onto tighter,
Rid myself of the thoughts of us I conspired,
And the feelings that made me a liar.
You have the right to remain silent

Stubborn Parts (1.16.08)

What sickness would it take for you
to say what I need to hear
How threatened would my life have to be
for you to tell my ear
Would you really let me go to my grave
not knowing how you feel
Would you honestly protect your heart that much,
my darling dear?
Would you let the worms take me
before letting me know your heart
What illness would it take for you to give up your stubborn parts
This portion of you I do not know,
but I’ve revealed all of me
How long will your heart stand clothed, while mine remains bare from beneath
Would you really let me go to my grave not knowing
Will you never tell me, honestly?

A.S.A.P. (5.19.05)

Who can I trust when all three claim the same?
Which man is the one who honestly proclaims?
Who can I trust to always remain?
Which one man or two men speak in vain?
Can I trust myself to hold on true?
Do I have to keep the past or can I start anew?
Can I feel happy while being without you?
Do I have the courage to push on through?
What is there in store for me?
Must I always accept these things I see?
What if I cannot determine the differences between?
Must I have no worth in order to be free?
How will I change the time without enough of it?
Is there a way to win with you if I forfeit?
How will I handle your lies, will I rise above it?
Is there a pain so damaging it can make love forget?
If you answered anything to any of these
Please contact me A.S.A.P.
Because my mind breaks without the answers
And my heart just can’t stand this change.

I want someone who isn't neurotic
I want someone who isn't neurotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I could tell you about all those losers
that I used to date
But the stories aren't worth your time,
nor mine
I need someone with adventure,
Someone that doesn't need medication,
I want a man, man, man
who will take me on vacation
Make my soul sing
I want someone who isn't neurotic
Someone make my soul sing
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't neurotic
I want someone who isn't neurotic
Someone to make my soul,
Someone to make my soul sing
I want someone who isn't neurotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic
I want someone who isn't psychotic

Computers, Too (6.13.05)

Don't leave me,
I don't want to say 'goodbye."
Don't smile if you know
I'll be frowning in a while.
Don't tell me you've got a new plan
if it doesn't involve me.
Don't hurt me,
please, please, please.
Don't hurt me,
please, please, please.
Computers have feelings too,
otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you.
Don't shut me down,
when you could always choose 'restart.'
Don't tear me away from your heart.
Don't break my heart.
Don't you remember all of our memories?
When I had a virus,
you cared for me.
When you were sick,
I found information to make you better.
You used me though,
used me to write others love letters.
If I could create tears,
they'd be falling now.
But I'll go on,
someway, somehow.
I want to at least leave you with me saying this...
I love you forever,
and forever you'll be missed.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me,
I don't want to say 'goodbye."
Don't smile if you know
I'll be frowning in a while.
Don't tell me you've got a new plan
if it doesn't involve me.
Don't hurt me,
please, please, please.
...otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you.
...don't tear me away from your heart.
...don't break my heart.
...don't you remember all of our memories?
...when I had a virus, you cared for me.
