Move Out 03:05
There’s no room for me to move in here There’s no room even to move the furniture around All I really want is a little desk A comfy place to write the great American comeback story There’s no use asking for permission anymore Best to do what makes you happy when you long for it All I really need is a little break If you would only hear, I’ve done my research and I know what to say Or maybe I should move out You think that I should move out? There’s no chance if you never take the chance Can you stand - Stand the smell? All I wanna do is get this done I don’t wanna end up back on the front, left to write about Standing in puddles, slipping in mud Watching the snow with my stereo on So I’m letting go, giving up, and turning my hat around And maybe I should move out Ya think that I should move out? Maybe I should move out Maybe I should move out I’ve been cleaning in the corners where you never go I’ve been stealing all the quarters, trying to build a home Have you seen the cobwebs built behind your fake fireplace? Maybe you should move out Maybe you should move out Maybe you should move out I think that you should move around I don’t think you should hold out I think that you should move out Maybe you should move out Maybe you should move out

Caught Up 03:00
Don't get caught up too much in the things you love to do Because I'm starting to see them taking away from you Don't get caught up too much in the things you love to do Because I'm starting to lose track of how to recognize you But then, who am I? I'm after something different than the first time And then there's you- You're after something different, too And where do we stand? Face to face, and thumb to rush And lip to stem But you had a different plan So what's on your mind? I can change, if you tell me why Just don't leave me out In the dark, without a flashlight Do I make sense? I don't want to lose all my friends Just turn off your phones- Lie down on the couch - What does that mean? So speak to me I can smell the irony Don't shelter it I see the light through the crack in the door Please don't say You just want me to stay away Because I'm not a fool With my feet filled up with glue And I won't get caught up too much in the things I love to do Because I'd rather be doing the things we used to do And I won't get caught up too much in the things I love to do Because I must admit, I'm really missing you

No Love 03:45
No desperation No nostalgia and no need for conversation No time for contemplation No love No love, but children No desire, but no end to echoed questions “When will come the second?” Still no love No taking back decisions Made in lamented minutes I’ll never know what it’s like To lead the easy life No reservations No foundation, No imitation No pleurs, and No love No nudge to the door Always ignored, Never accounted for Then disposed of Needless to say… No taking back decisions Made before I got with it I’ll never know what it’s like To lead the easy life

Lightning strikes again Shakes the ground, and looses adrenaline In charge, charged from cloud to ground I just heard the loudest sound Ears are ringing Sorry, I can’t hear you now Lightning strikes again Trample darkness, electric elephant Mid-charge, charge the blank account My heart dropped with the loudest pound Hands are shaking I don’t wanna be here now Lightning strikes again Hear the water lap, and the rising winds

Zoroark 02:54
I've got to admit that I miss you now I’ve got to admit that I miss you now I was asleep a little while ago But now I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake And can you tell it's been a beautiful day just by the look on my face? I didn't think so - I learn nothing from appearances I yearn to know the way But I've burned so many bridges I learned to stay away I raised my flag and put yours back in the fire I've got to admit that I miss you now I’ve got to admit that I miss you now I talked to him for a while tonight And he's just like me, he's just like me And can you tell it's been a terrible day by the smile on my stupid face? I didn't think so - I show nothing in appearances I deserve to know the way If anybody else does I'd claim you back today I'd raise my fan, if all it took was a dollar And can you tell that I have lost the way because the map is upside down? You never realized - I guess I'm just too good at appearances If you could see my place... If you could see my place...

Misdreavus 05:14
I shriek in the night - I work on your fear till the first sign of light Then I'm gone, gone - Back to the dark I think all the time - What if there's something happening outside Should I go, or stay alone? - Should I see what's left to be? Stroll down twenty-eighth - The morning is warm, and the sun hits my face And I melt - You can't even tell - But I feel my skin getting softer There's nothing to do - The boy on the top wouldn't stop the pursuit Here he comes, now - To knock me around Once, I was alive - It's here in the cave that I learned to survive As a ghost - But that's how it goes, when you come in alone I should leave here tonight - But each time I get to the road, I decide To go home, again - Awaiting the slow ache Once I was a kid - The voices of Gods told me just how to live Where'd you go? - Giving me no warning... I'd be all right, if you just said goodbye

Why ya always gotta make this harder than it has to be? Already feeling guilty before you pull your trip on me Sorry - I gotta do my thing Why ya always calling right when I’m about to go to sleep? Already feeling tired when the telephone begins to ring And it’s within my reach I’m looking for a chance to fall into a dream You’re looking for a ride out to some party But it ain’t me, baby I’m tired of driving down Submission Street Why ya always trying to top the low that you hit yesterday? Already feeling dizzy before you even get halfway Every word you say makes you sound insane Why ya always gotta make this harder than it has to be? Gave you all my time, but you’ve got problems with the way I speak When it’s within your reach Would’ve turned out different if I didn’t grab the car and leave So this is how you want to thank me? If I never loved you, would I drive down your Submission Street? When it’s within my reach I’m looking for a chance to fall into a dream I ought to get some sleep Instead I’m driving drowsy down the darkness of Submission Street I’m driving drowsy down the darkness of Submission Street Wonder how you’re gonna make it home without me Your judgement’s blurry - Your vision is cloudy What if I let it ring and rested so soundly? Why ya always trying to be the driver when you’re second seat? Wonder how you could survive if I’d have gone and hit the sheets When they’re within my reach Looking for a chance to fall into a dream I ought to get some sleep Instead I’m driving drowsy down the darkness of Submission Street When it’s within my reach I’m looking for a chance to fall into a dream I ought to get some sleep Instead I’m driving you down the darkness of Submission Street I’m driving drowsy down the darkness of Submission Street

There are so many ways to keep up, it’s hard to keep up You can call from a hotel phone, if you can’t from home I’ve got magnetic hypotheticals, but you say they’re unacceptable And you move to medical land What do you not want to do? I think you know what you’re putting me through But then, over again I think I see what you were trying to do If you’d have said it, I’d have gone for it, too But no - You said you loved my soul Forgive, forget - Oh sure, you bet I’ll go back home and pretend I wasn’t close to the City of Angels But don’t get upset with your San Francisco sunset Never say forever or only ever again Speak no truth you won’t pursue Do what you want - Oh, give me a shot Say “I was wrong” - Don’t lead me along Then go where no one else has to know I think you know what I was trying to do I know you knew what that required of you You had to return the one that was past due I know you thought about it every night I hope you knew that you had every right To decide to try to change your life Or to just say “No, I wanna go back home” But then tell me so, ‘cause I’m under your control But not on my knees - No struggle to breathe But it’s kinda starting to get harder To forgive, forget - Oh sure, you bet I’ll go back home and pretend I wasn’t close to the City of Angels But don’t get upset with your San Francisco sunset

Are you wearing thin? I'm sorry, love I know I'm pushing it too far Are you caving in? I didn't think so, love Or you wouldn't keep your date with him tonight And I came here to get away From the thought of you in his embrace But the view from the window on the highway was just the same as at home And I'm looking for a cure For either your steadfastness Or my inability to move on I'm still hoping you'll change your mind Because I can't seem to change mine Have I said too much? I swear it's true love I've never caught it quite this bad Is it just my luck? My sister's right- I'm doomed to be a hopeless romantic the rest of my life And that's just the way it is Bound to sleep around till I've got kids And a wife And my pillow and blanket on the couch But it don’t have to be so If you find yourself alone Give me a call - It might not be too late to go again Because I'm still hoping you'll change your mind Because I can't seem to change mine

“You just need to face your fears” “Yeah, I know how you feel” “Oh, you’re blushing now” “How ‘bout a drink to loosen up?” (“Oh, what’s wrong?”) ”Shoulda brought someone else” (“Oh, what now?”) ”Oh, god- you’re at it again” (“Come back now”) “I need to speak at you” (“Come back now”) “Gonna tell you what to do…” “You should just snap out of it” I don’t know the source But you know it all, of course Oh, you’re telling me You’re telling me you’re not yelling at me “You should just snap out of it” “Pull yourself together now” Pull myself together? - How?! “You should just snap out of it”

Way Out 02:39
We can go - To see the nicest people we already know But it’s never the same - Even the perfect people tend to go, and change Ain’t that a shame? But I guess it’s just another rotten part of the game The freshness fades - And love decays Forty insists I should be over it now But how can you learn if no one shows you how? At guess and check time, I got stuck in my mind I am looking for my way out “Please excuse me” - I saw your eyes moving Looking a different way - I should find my way out I can go - Look for pretty people at a rocknroll show But it don’t go the same - The easy ones are gone, and I’m all that remains Eight more dollars to waste But I guess it’s just another rotten part of the game You lose your way, to the strangest place Thirty insists, “Kid - ya can’t get out alive” So I don’t see a reason to stop wasting time On guess and check day, I didn’t know what to say Should I be looking for my way out? “Please excuse me - I must be moving” Not what I’d do today - Wish I’d found my way out Wayback - Looking for my way back

Atargatis 03:27
Throw yourself into the water Your skin begins to change Now you're swimming down to the bottom Should I follow you in? Your marine warrior's aureus euphoria is boring ya Now that the jester's sequesters, yesterday, left ya So sit down - sip your snarfblat - sink your seat back Plunder the sunken ship when it comes to shore Don't hatch your eggs till you grow your legs And slink your soles on the strand And let your head hang to reluctant harangues Pull yourself out of the seabed sand Dinglehop hair and become aware Hold on, Hera - and melting mascara If for the affair got you walking on air Your marine warrior's aureus euphoria is boring ya Now that the jester's sequesters, yesterday, left ya

Laniakea 03:16
There's something bigger than me There's something bigger than me There's something bigger than me There's something bigger than me I don't know if it's watching for me I don't know if it's watching for me I don't know if it's watching for me It's almost stepping on me It's almost stepping on me It's almost stepping on me Her eyes aren't looking down on me Her eyes aren't looking down on me Her eyes aren't looking down on me Does she even know about me? Does she even know about me? Does she even know about me? Why she looking at the sky? Above what's above what's above what's above, but not on top Below what's below what's below what's below, but bottomless
