so long
nothing in sight
in the meantime
it’ll be fine
so far
I been alright
it’ll be fine
it’ll be fine
blown
another day at home somehow it’s flown
ain’t got a thing to show
stoned
another night alone and I am grown
restless to the bone
[chorus]
fried
weakened by the week, though I should try
for today I’ll let it slide
slaves
weighted by the chains we so desire
til we find we lost the fire
I want it all, yeah I want it alright
I’ll change the world but not tonight
one day I’ll take what’s mine
I just can’t seem to find the time
so what
take it in stride
it’ll be fine
it’ll be fine
so far
I been alright
it’ll be fine
it’ll be fine

Not Alone

come all in suits or rags
we’re burning all the things we used to know
so what if the cable goes
it’s lifting me up to a lovely vertigo
ignore those savage tones
just bitter voices from the undertow
this culture’s not your friend
and common sense is just the status quo
we’re all the same, you know
but we’re taught to feel we ought to feel alone
I’m terrified of dying
but I ain’t afraid of death no more
so all these faithful ties
I’ll sever ‘em all for the chance to feel alive
we’re all temperamental minds
we want it all but we don’t know what it’s for
tear off your suits of rags
‘cause they won’t mean a thing upon your bones

trust
something unseen
something I need
to keep me sane
trust
someone unknown
something I've known
to lead astray
she
she saw me
with another
oh, but red is the color of my insides
layin’ up past midnight
thinking thoughts of death
all while the odd half laughs
you’re just an animal
lust
something unseen
something obscene
give it here
lust
pleasure alone
out on my own
a subtle fear
she
she saw me
as a lover
oh, but red is the color of my insides
layin’ up past midnight
thinking thoughts of death and all the rest
undressed and falling down
and so yes I guess under duress of fear and stress I choose you
I love you
