Another Way

In all these places I've been born a bit too late, or ripped from the womb before I'm formed like a late-life abortion. And I'm just a portion of the man that I once was. And I'm just a figment of imagination, bored to death. And I can't help feeling like there is no other way, but all these cheap motels make me feel like there is. And I've been hiding. No use in denying. But all these cheap motels make me feel like there is another way. And I'm just a portion of the man I wish I was. And I'm just a figment of imagination, bored again.

The Magic Ones

It dawned on my late one afternoon when I was small. When you held the microphone, you were the center of my whole life. Now I am distressed. But don't worry about me. Worry about us. 'Cause we were the magic ones, once. When you were the savior for me all alone. Sent from the future with no way home. It came to me as I went to bed for the first time alone. 'Cause here's where our shelter was, and here's where the kids grew up. Now it's all gone and I am distressed. But don't worry about it. Worry about us. Those were your magic words once. Don't worry about me. Worry about us. 'Cause we were the magic ones once.

I'll break you. I'll break you in two. There's a world outside. There's a world outside your door. And if you open wide, you just might find what you've been looking for. Do you see it? 'Cause I left it for you. Do you believe in all the things they're telling you to do? You're justified when you're out of line. You simplify what you can't define. You're taking back what's yours from mine. 'Cause everything, it all comes down to you.

Wolves

This place is out of hand. God damn. This place is like a jail. From in my cell, I just while the hours and wait the day away. The TV is chained to the wall but my bed is on wheels. Damn it all. One little cough and they roll me down the hall. I don't need these straps on me at all. So what are you waiting for? The wolves are at your door. This place is like a hell. One that I built myself. 'Cause you know I never called before you passed away. I won't come. I won't come anyway. So what are you waiting for? The wolves are at my door. It's the wrong attitude. The wrong medicine. The wrong family. The wrong game to win. And no one ever does.

Don't Call

There was a light that shined only in the evening. There was a stone that I turned once. You held my heart if you only would believe it. You took it all for granted once. And if it's only a sign of my commitment. And if it's only a matter of trust. And if you're lonely, I'll tell you how to reach me. You said don't call us. Don't call. There was that time when I almost couldn't see you. The same face I knew with his name attached. It's like the roulette wheel came up red again and again. So I turned and I ran to the ATM, took out all I had and put it down on black. If you loved me, why'd you do this to me? It's your head, it's your home, it's your faith all alone. Take you back to the place where I met you. And you're right, it's your life. You should do what you like. In your head, in your home, in your faith all alone.

Is this the knife that cuts the water? The pill that makes it better? I don't know. Are you gonna make a difference? Or just splitting hairs with a reference? I still don't know. But this angel has turned against me and bored into my skull. This angel has turned against me now. Are these the changing leaves of autumn? Or just another rock with no bottom? I don't know. Are you gonna make a difference? Or just telling lies with no deference for who I am? This angel has turned against me and bored into my skull. It's what you wanted. It's time to take back control. Take it back. We are the authors of our misfortune. The little lies that are never untold. We put the pins in your conversations. We are the authors of all. And we wrote it all for you.
