Nothing 02:12
here's a problem that you've heard of before and by now well it isn't making sense nasty habits are all billowing out from the floor and they're making dents and I can't be everyone else's friend at a dropping hat in a flash I'll cover my bases and I'll make you sad I can't go on keep hating for nothing systematically I'm spilling a chill on the whole situation we could stand and my gravity is pulling you into a hole and it's quick as sand if you want it come and get it, I'm tired of waiting here so you better lay it to bed and better turn your ear I can't go on keep hating for nothing

Wannabe 02:31
welcome to the best of my brains I know I'm no painter of pain I still wanna have a say but you can't be what you wanna be all the time and you can't see what you wanna see all the time I've been wishing for a feeling that I really can believe in then I'm gonna follow it but you can't be what you wanna be all the time and you can't see what you wanna see all the time

haven't you heard I'm not alone haven’t you heard i’m not alone well it's how the same old story goes removing the teeth from what you know taking a breath before you blow you're what I want, I guess that you're what I've been waiting for haven't you heard it's not all right haven’t you heard it’s not all right to be kicking the ground without a fight living in dark when you see light and staying below the passing line go out ahead then, go out and see what you can find for a time I would lie, you know I wasn't coming clean I was low and I was mean, I am sorry and I thought it was fine just to recede into my mind in the blind I'd say to mine, why should I change? why should I change? haven't you heard I'm not alone haven’t you heard I’m not alone it's how the same old story goes gaining a head but losing toes and making the rules up as you go you're what I want, I guess that you're what I've been waiting for

Rubber Johnny's crawling out of the ceiling he is perching, he is searching for my mind I wonder what he'll find perfect creature, lost in motion I can hear your soul clawing at the walls of cages, filling up the hole who could ask for more? you could've saved your life by living in the past you could've saved your life by sitting on your ass everybody's driving down on the highways never looking toward the place they're going but I wish that I could go to that place you could've saved your life by living in the past you could've saved your life by sitting on your ass
