Third Eye Blind Album

All I want right now
Is the time where we slept on the floor
You said, "right here right now
Is all we're living for"

I got the velocity and all I need now is the mass
I just want you to ask

Can you take me
Into days I never knew?
Let's start a riot (i want a riot)
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Now these days I wonder, why we're holding back on bliss
you blast from me everything you see, i just want to give you a kiss

I want the infidels' head on a pike
Riding on my motorbike

oh you and me are alike

so can you take me
Into days I never knew?
Let's start a riot (i want a riot)
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Let's get it bigger and wider
I'm the mega collider
when i take you
Into days I never knew
Let's start a riot (i want a riot)
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Bust you out, I've come to bust you out
i've come to bust you out-- I've come

Live in doubt, no longer live in doubt
no longer live in doubt-- No

Humbly now, oh yes humbly now,
I ask for no resistance, oh no resistance

maybe now, oh just maybe now
We can bridge the distance

‘cause it's so (?)

So can you take me
Into days I never knew?
Let's start a riot, (I want a riot)
Let's start a riot, me and you
'Cause a riot's overdue

Don't back down, don't compromise
Don't close your eyes
Here it is do or die
And you still believe the lie
you still believe the lie
And the world is for the meek
this mouse is gonna squeak
i am dying to be freaked
Yes, I am dying to be freaked

Cigarette fingers ember stain
Incriminating notes on a paper chain
Did you ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?
I wanna bust out, I've not been defeated

They're all straw bowls they hold no water
Got the big fast smile, this gets harder
Time wound down and we've been cashed
Because half measures are all half-assed

How did we ever end up this way?
And I've gone numb in disarray
Cultivating my ignorance
Didn't we have some standards once?

I hate you and your cowboy boots
You wanted clever, we settled for stupid
You threw it all away so indiscreet
Like a bad boyfriend he's a dirty little cheat

It's a shallow vicious state of mind
Like an angry chump getting dumped online
Give me back my photos, will you?
You fucking whore I'll kill you!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on breathing
'Cause pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

Our soundtrack is the soulless thing
Some dull ache-replace the stain
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
What ever happened to "brother, brother"?

We like thugs when they attack and
We like crime when it's black on black and
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?

Don't believe a word
Just walk on by
'Cause this moment will pass
And then we all can all get high
Don't believe it
Just keep on breathing
Oh pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

Wake up screamin'
(hahahaha)
Wake up screamin'
(ahhhhhh)

YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!, (YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!) X4

Round up all the big linchpins
I hope we don't get fooled again!
All sensation makes no sense
You got some insane confidence

I can't find myself, I can't change the station
In this corporate sellout hillbilly nation
Scandalize now with such ease
America give me back my keys

Senate blows a soldier squeeze,
Trigger on fake enemies
We're all abroad and all alone, 'til you come home
Bring 'em home!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on breathing
'Cause pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word
(Keep on dreaming)
Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word

A little early in spring, a bonfire ring
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
But you can wear

My duct-taped vest
It's a party best
It's really all I own
Everything's changing now

And I am high like a star that's flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now

She said it's alright
She said no don't die alone
There's no goodbyes

Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
I keep burning on and on and on

If nothing else I am myself
That's all I have to give
Everything's changing now

Oh we could live like kings
If we take a risk
Or we could live in doubt
Everything's changing now
Oh now
Come on, come on

And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
And I keep burning on and on

This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye
This, this is, this is the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye

Some girls will break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now

Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
And that's the universe
Around, around she drags you

Lightning comes and lightning goes
It's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
We'll stop the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on and on
I really love you!

Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?

Time tick tick ticks after me
My mp3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you but what's the use
How did we get knocked so loose, knocked so loose.

Someone I swore I'd never be
Who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately it's a little hard for me to see
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe

And it's all disappearing
And it all falls apart
And it seems like the ending
Is a lot like the start

Well nature has its own rules
Like gravity crushing me
And lies, I'm of the memory
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
At least you left a mark on me

And I think there's a reason
At least there's a sign
And all that we call chaos
I will say it's by design
But I'm just lying

What you need is a sharp knife, son
To come back down from an all time low
I think I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knifeto cut

A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.

So new friend can you hear this?
Can we return to fearless?
Merry pranksters one and all
And walk that devil down the hall

Yes it's all disappearing
And we should all just go along
And it all would be so easy,
If we could just say, "let it be."
But that's not me.

What you need is a sharp knife, son.
You can come out of an all time low
Seems like I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife

Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife,
A sharp knife,
To cut.

A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.

What you need is a sharp knife son
You can come back down from an all time low
Seems like I'm the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife.
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife
A sharp knife
To cut.

A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.

No chance I could be her boyfriend
I'm trying to flip butch girls again
We could see what life pretends
And why don't I still call a friend?

She says, you know I love you, but I feel so one in ten.

And life is short and dull
Categorize to the full, until the charm is gone.
And you're a big girl, if you wanna get it on, you will
And if you don't, you won't

She says, you know I love you, but I feel so one in ten.

You could have such a life, with me
You could knit baby sweaters,
We could watch the flatscreen t.v.

She says, you know I love you, but I feel so one in ten.

What's the differences, when it goes down?
If it's a girl, or if it's guys?
Can't you just close your eyes?
Baby, close your eyes.
Baby, close your eyes.

Love doesn't come in perfect packages, that means I qualify.
And I know it's not your way, but I thought we could give it a try.

She says, you know I love you, but I feel so one in ten.
You know I love you, but I feel so one in ten.
you know I love you, she'll always be my one in ten.

I was walking alone on the ocean
I felt a fever burning up all I am
'Cause if there's one thing that I can't stand
It's standing next to my fellow man, ah

It's about to break, oh

For the social worker at the needle exchange
For the soft medicated and the hard deranged
For the lesbians at the bakery
Saying, "Do you really hate me?"

It's about to break

Break like a fever
It's about to break
Break like a fever

People looking for themselves without mirrors
Well, not knowing why you're here
Public appearance is the verge of tears
When you're out, you get off on weed and beer

Stand up now, let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?
Stand up now, let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?

You're dangerous with a stinger, missile
Weapons hot, thinking this will
We won't make them follow orders
Doctors without borders

It's about to break
It's about to break
Break like a fever

When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race
(Break like a fever)
You're beautiful, it's true, I wanna be beautiful life you
When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race

For the teenage mother with the baby asleep
For apricot when life is cheap
For losing faith
America fades into myth

Hey where'd everybody go
Everyone I know has blown the coast
Shiver in the wind it shows
All I have are summer clothes
Oh and it brings me down when it's winter time in a summer town
All we are are friends we keep or lose in time
Fade away, the precious ones we keep in mind
I wonder now it I'm the one that you'd leave behind
Cause after Halloween
Everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone
I go down like the sun
You know what I mean
I'm just someone in a summer town
Standing by the old beach house where we stood outside and sang out loud
Now I shiver like a ghost I remember the time that we drew a crowd and
I told you everything I knew in one manic rushing line
I wonder now if I'm the kind that you'd leave behind
Cause after Halloween
Everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone
I go down like the sun
You know What I mean
My whole life is a summer town
I get into the people you met
And the moment comes that you can't forget
Time flies in trajectory
Did you give me more than you took from me
I'm as empty now as a vacant sign
Tonight
After Halloween
Can we stay together
I'm losing everyone
And I come undone
Nothing lasts forever
Last summer's done
Can we find another one
Find another one
I wish I was a spray can, I'd write my name on the world
I wish I was a megaphone with my speaker blown, to get myself known
In a summer town
Smell sun block on her hot skin in a bungalow before the day begins,
this is some dumb jam it doesn't mean a thing, ecstasy, rave is king, fake diamonds shining on her finger.
I'm as bad for you as anyone you ever know, still you stole my soul,
or I gave it to you, get high and do the five five deal, rock a fanny pack now from the front,
she's generous with the bumps of fake cocaine, it was funny once then,
now it's funny again and I was never able to reach her, no, maybe the next leap of the creature, maybe then,
summer dis and then you go away, wanna be the hustler school MIA make a paper plane and then you fly away, fly away,
where's my super secret stupid fucking pocket where I left my bungalow keys,
how am I always waking up in places like these, who's been singing all my symphonies,
rat bastards palliate my infamies, you'll be burning begging please,
back to the champ in the little sun dress, she was reading Nabokov, Miller, and Tess,
undressed so fine just as you are, a stone cold rap superstar
And I was never able to reach her
Alright

Are you frightened by the weight you possess or
Is this life just weightlessness
The smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one real thing to say
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
Forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood
Why can't these meds be any damn good

And she said
Why can't you be
Like my waterpik shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
A water massagers the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be
Like when I was 13

Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
And why can't you be
A little more of a mystery

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone

Why can't you be
Like an outsourced government contract
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination rounds in showers
Cause your tearing your hair out
While we can have a bed of flowers

And I said
Why can't you be
Like the chicks out on the road
Some girls are happy just to see me
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
Take him away from this pose
Sometimes a blow jobs not enough
Why can't you play
A little less rough

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone

Can we... just leave it be
And we can live... our lives... separately
Could you forget... what happens to you
You and me

When we're dead... and we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all... missing you
Seeing you and me
So while I'm alive... I will always be

Why can't you be
Lookin' a little deeper into me
Like JD Salinger
Why do I challenge her
In all these surface ways
That you displease
Why can't you be
A little more at ease

Why can't you be
Like a hand rolled cigarette
I'm not joking
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
And this city ditty
I keep provoking you to leave me

She said
Why can't you be
Like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to god I've had enough
How can I call your bluff?

When will I start to learn
I'm bleeding in this game
Cause she uses boys like bandages
But the wounds remain the same
And I hope you find it through this endless wandering
I'm missing you for so long
You're a question mark and a scar
You twist me up like a tourniquet
Till I don't know who we are
Chasing after you won't change a thing
And I hope you make it through this endless wandering
Change everything I know, but she won't let me come
And she won't let me go
Let me come inside

I was late and my face was wet, toe up on a private jet
Spiraling down with a cigarette, where we going now cause I forget
Cause I gotta get it all but it takes a toll
Well I guess you'll have to grow a soul
Dark side giving me such a pull, such a pull and if its a
Water landing
Then its a water landing

Put on your life vest only if told to do so
Well I'm telling you now
Strap it across your chest
Prepare yourself for impending death
You and me are nose-diving
At the speed of whiplash, life passes by
In an endless plane crash
Muffled I love you through an oxygen mask
On my face, brace, brace
And the cabin erupts with religious conversions
God's sick joke as we lose the engines
Some people scream and some people are gracious
And the reason's the same
Cause the sky outside is so spacious
So if it's a water landing
Then it's a water landing
And it's coming inside

In this night, I need to call you but all the lines are blown.
If only you knew, how empty I feel.
But maybe then you're lonely too,
and it's tearing through you like a punctured wound.
Maybe no one knows what to do.
When we know we're alone in a temporary home.
Maybe we'll realize that's a blessing in disguise.
A blessing in disguise.

Well don't you know the sound of anger brings a dark result.
And every insult is like a lightning bolt.
So go home now, oh yeah,
you don't have one, to some guy that you don't know.
And make a baby, but that won't change my problem though.
I spent the last three years setting myself on fire for you.
I spent the last three years never knowing if what you say is true.
And it'll be this way until one of us dies.
Is that a blessing in disguise?
It's a blessing in disguise.

And I tell myself what we're living for.
And say: rejoice, evermore.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah (x4).

'Til one of us dies. (x2)

Well I confess that so far happiness eludes me in my life.
You better hurry up if its ever to be mine.
Better hurry up now if we're ever gonna find, what we're living for.
If it's not you, anymore.
I'll learn,
To sing:
Evermore, rejoice.

Evermore, rejoice. (x10)

Every moment of your life
Is a chance to get it right
Any moment you've been living in
You could turn it on like a light
All the weight of the years
Has got me burstin' into tears
Standin' here with nothin'
I stand alone inside my fears

Like an atom reveals a deeper state
Well I swear for me tonight
It's not too late

To tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I'll mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said maybe, it's you and only you and no one else

How I miss Moscow
Those people really know
How to have a good time
In a mixed up state of mind
And Monotov's Private Opera is closed
So I guess I'll go home now
Cause there's no wheres else to go

And I will tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else
You and no one else

Now I'm stuck inside a poem
And then I'm walkin by myself
In the dark, all alone
And these actors and dramatists
They won't send me home

Well, maybe I'm like my father
Strung out on something or another
Held to a standard
We were always sinking under
And maybe I'm like my mother
She shattered cause no one loved her
Maybe I, Maybe I am like no other

And some moments are more real than the books I've read
And a good woman, maybe she meant what she said
Cause to feel you now ya know, it goes straight to my head

So I'll tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it, even when I'm talkin' to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else
Talkin' to myself
Talkin' to myself

And everything changed in a day
And I know another one on the way
And I'll tell you
Everything changed in a day
And I know another one is on the way

[No lyrics]

Are you frightened by the weight you possess or
