Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and leave us?

It's so fucked I can't believe it
If there's a way I wish we'd see it
How could it work just can't conceive it
Oh what a mess it's just to leave it

Sometimes I don't thrill you
Sometimes I think I'll kill you
Just don't let me fuck up will you
'Cause when I need a friend it's still you

What A Mess

. . .


Hey babe, thought maybe
Can't feel, not today
Wish it didn't faze me
Can't handle either way

With life surrounded
Entombed in war
Don't lie to her, no bones, no bones
The vast expanses
can't be too grand
To go together outside

Hey babe, can't do it
Can't put you there again
Can't feel, can't go through it
If there only was a way

[Solo] (If there only was a way.)

With life surrounded
Entombed in war
Don't lie to her, no bones, no bones
The vast expanses
can't be too grand
Or I'll send them back

. . .


I've been dryin' for it
Buggin' again
Now it won't bend
You've been frying for it
A mound of smack
Won't fill the crack
They always come in two's
All the space they always use
All the steps I've taken hide me
Not sure now what's left inside me
So I've taken to nappin'
All the things I left unspoken
The one that fits still got me joking
Hope it don't mean I'm still nappin'
[Repeat once, after second time there is a solo]
Can't face the (man? plan?)
The ones you left
Can't trace me
Sky broke down
That rainy sound
Gotta save me

. . .


Driving hard through your friend
Gotta find a way to mend
The less we see, the more it grows
Festering out of control

Piled high, you get that face
I wonder why we ever got it together
What's to say, there's just no clue
We just know to do, hope it comes together

It's the norm, float again
It's the stuff you said you send
Take it in, wait to see
If it's enough just 'cause it's free

Push too far, you feel the skin
Begin to scar, can't really put it together
Now it's a drag with no hope of coming back
How can you ever get it together?

Bottled up, stored away
Always ready to give way
Push it farther, yeah, we know
Clinging, hoping, it won't show

Piled high, you get that face
I wonder why we ever got it together
And push too far and feel the skin begin to scar
Can't really pull it together

About to crack with no hope of coming back
How can you ever get it together?
What's to say, there's just no clue
We just know to do, hope it comes together

. . .


I'll be by your side
Thought you knew, thought I'd try
What's there to decide?
Put everything into it

Time to throw it on the heep
All the times I almost spilled it
Now it's something gotta keep
Found a way, heard all the things

I've tried to say
Hate to see it washed away
Dragged down among the drain
But if it stays, all the things about to pay

All doubts I've stashed away
Kept down until you say
Letting it all slide
Stood too long, far too gone

Can't you let it ride?
Put everything into it

Time to throw it on the heep
All the times I all most spilled it
Now it's something gotta keep
Found a way, heard all the things

I've tried to say
Hate to see it washed away
Dragged down among the drain
If I don't move, there won't be a thing to prove

And all I'm bound to lose
My thing for hangin' out
But if it stays, all the things about to pay

All the doubts I've stashed away
Kept down until you say
I'll be by your side
Stood too long, far too gone

Can't you let it ride?
What's there to decide?
Thought you knew, thought I'd try
Letting it all slide

. . .


Ponders, Yet you're undecided
I sprinkle looks to let you know
Pain is a wave, Come on let's ride it
Jump on now, Or We'll have to row
Now, while your eyes run back
The memories attack
I'll give you my last crack
The dreams keep me awake
Feelings seem hard to shake
Same way I always fake
Dripping off, you come to meet me
Break off a piece, to let you know
And they bubble all around you
Yeah there's a love
But it won't show
And while your eyes run back
The memories attack
I'll give you one last crack
The dreams keep me awake
Feelings seem hard to shake
Same way I always flake
Need a way to keep it simple
All the times I bailed, you float
Girl you reachin for your anchor
I turned it down
Right down your throat

. . .


Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two
Yeah I gave you a nudge
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Yeah I need a bug
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two

. . .


Eyed it, dried it, untied it.
Chilled it, spilled it, refilled it.
Paste it, traced it, erased it.
She's my Post to Lean on,
And I just cut her down.
So I'm out to land on somethin'
Hopefully a girl will come to me at the ground.

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Hey babe, Where'd you go
Just left it sitting in the road
You can drape it all over your room
Sit back and let it shower you
Left it, hoping you'd see it, and wanted to stay
Wish someone told me there's a better way

The past will blow away
Don't mind if I have to borrow
Long as I come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all I could think of

Found this thing out back
Hope it makes it up for all I lack
They've all got a shot with you
Chance I had, I kinda blew
It's all there in that bag
Didn't turn out like I hoped
Guess it's a drag

The past will blow away
Don't mind if I have to borrow
Long as I come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all I could think of

If you won't take my hand
Keep the Glove
