Oh my God, where am I going?
What a buzzkill fuckin' way to start a show....
But maybe we're all runnin' without knowin'
That we've all got the same shitty place to go....

What to Say

You're just ten feet away...
And I still don't know what to say..
I watch him kiss you goodnight.
And, God, how I wish I could be that guy but...
It never was my strong-suit to be on time..
I never found the right words to put in line..
And I don't know what to do
I don't know how to act
And I still don't fucking know what to say..
I see you in the alley way.
From a place that I can't escape
I watch you from m window
Because it's a place you'll never know
It never was my strong-suit to be on time..
I never found the right words to put in line..
And I don't know what to do
I don't know how to act
And I still don't fucking know what to say..
So I'll be complacent with the fact that I don't exist
In your mind anymore cuz I'm just some creep that you can ignore...

Ulterior Motives

I've been trading in tomorrow for today
Cuz this doesn't feel like love, it feels like meeting half-way
And when I finally start to think its okay..
From behind my back, in the other room I can hear them say...
"All my motives are ulterior
And you only want that honey, not the sting."
Now I think it's kind of funny that I can finally see...
That there's no difference between those people and fuckin' me!
There are spiders on every surface that I see..
I get so high, so scared about technology
And when I start to think its not so bad
You went and turned about and fucked my dad...
And now all my motives are Ulterior,
You only want the honey, not the sting.
And I think its kind of funny now that I can finally see...
There's no difference between those people and fuckin' me...
Ulterior motives in everybody.
This shit will be the death of me....

'Cause its the bare necessities, you gotta get a job and work
And its the rare un-pleasantries that seem to fill my days with worth.
'Cause its the bare necessities, you gotta go see your dad
Because everybody's tellin' me that they don't know how long he'll last.
So let's go out tonight and channel forces of the dead
And I know I could just be happy if I went out West...
But the hardest part of going is going fast.
And I ejaculate with cowardice, been skewed on where to stand since birth,
My bones grow weak with laziness, they've given up on all that I'm worth.
Now I don't know where to sit, where to stand, or if I should just go home
And I'm not sure why but I don't feel like being alone...
So let's go out tonight and channel forces of the dead
And I know I could just be happy if I went out West...
But the hardest part of going is going fast.
Yeah, the hardest part of going is going fast....
And its the fucked up, wonderful times.. They never last.

I Don't Even Know...

I used to talk shit...
I used to get bent out of shape over it
But that was way back when
And I don't even know who I was back then.
Oh yeah.
I used to fall asleep...
I remember when sedation wasn't an every-day thing
But that was way back when..
And I wish I didn't know exactly where you've been...
Oh yeah.
I used to have a home...
I remember when I thought my life was only my own
But that was way back when....
And I don't even see how else it could have been, oh yeah....
