man I wasted all the good times
being the victim of my own crimes
finally I’m free from my own mind
so sick of listening to myself whine
and never seeing the good in what’s mine
finally I’m free from my own mind
they say you lose your mind
before you find a soul
another fabricated savior
ain’t coming to heal my pain
and in the mirror are all your fears
with no one else to blame
finally I’m free from my own mind

can’t kill the devil today
with these drugs in my brain
it’s all become so cliché
what’s the use in complying
to what I’ve been prescribed
because nothing finds
the balance in me
stop depression
get yourself in order
find a new girl
god I’m getting older
another breakdown
dig yourself from out the ground
all those times that I prayed
I’d wake up better and say
my troubles are washed away
just replay inside
and continue to remind me
that there’s no fixing this kind of decay
stop depression
get yourself in order
find a new girl
god I’m getting older
another breakdown
dig yourself from out the ground

your bricks they’ve built
another wall
you hit head on
but fight the fall
(on your back again)
the light has changed
the wind is high
you’re not the same
the weight’s untied
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
no
your bricks they’ve built
another wall
(on your back again)
the light has changed
the wind is high
you’re not the same
the weight’s untied
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
now don’t look back
no

there was a blight in my life
then I saw you baby
there was no blight no strife
when I saw you baby
now there’s no blight
in my life
there was no light in my eyes
then I saw you baby
you had a light in your eyes
when I saw you baby
now there is light
in our eyes
there was no right in my eyes
then I saw you baby
you had the right in your eyes
when I saw you baby
now there is right
in our eyes

I’m not violent anymore
then I punch right through the door
it bottoms our it bottoms out
I’m starting to repeat myself
so sorry to repeat myself
I’ve said it once
I’ll say it again
I’ve said it too many times before
if I don’t know myself
does anybody else
I’ve said it too many times before
no more no more no more no more
I’m not violent anymore
then I’m knocked out the floor
it bottoms our it bottoms out
I’m starting to repeat myself
so sorry to repeat myself
goddamned too blind to see
what I’m supposed to be

if I could change anything girl
you know I’d change your mind
man you really gotta loosen up
not everything’s gonna go your way
you’re gonna break if you keep it up
you’ve got no control
and that’s the only way
if i could change anything
you know I’d change my mind
if i could change anything
you know I’d pay no mind

caught us checking our
reflections again
what a narcissistic thing
to do
does the image control you
do you force it what to do
there’s a hole in my reflection
it incarcerates my self
point of view
but I know it isn’t true
I would kill to start anew

Crazy

we’ve all heard a song just like this
but I’m still in love with you
I die each time that I reminisce
‘cause I’m still in love with you
I’ve thought about it every day
no pills no drugs make you go away
we’re better off this way
every step I make is amiss
‘cause I’m still in love with you
I try so hard to fall in love again
but I’m still in love with you
I’ve thought about it ever day
no sex no skin no laugh’s like yours
we’re better off this way
singing this is crazy
but I’m still in love with you

Sweet Pavé

now that I’ve ripped out
all my sutures how am I supposed
to be a man
how am I supposed to believe in a future
when all I’ve learned
is just a fucking sham
god I tried to move on
but I know that I
just can’t take it anymore
god I tried to move on
but I know that I
just can’t fake it anymore
(remember remember
the way she held your hand
remember remember
all the hope you used to have)
let go

never right
it’s all so wrong
I’m never right
I’m always wrong
30 years ago today
I started my problems
but I won’t lay myself to waste
