I'm standing in a crowded room, my eyes are flooded over you, the bands playing songs I don't know, and I think that it's time for me to go. I think you're just scared of me, 'cause I'm not what gentle girls should be, but I don't care if I intimidate you, my blood is pumping, and I'm ready too. I wish that I had never come out, I want to crawl into a hole, I'm trying not to make a problem, but I'm shaking and I wanna go. I want to lean on somebody's shoulder, but I don't know anyone who's around. Everyday I get a little bit older, so I'm praying that I grow back down. I know that I'm not, as bad as I was. I think I forgot, so label me dumb. I wanted a hand to pull me off the ground, ground. You tease that I'm cool, but I'm such a mess. You say that I'm nice, but I'm just depressed. My thoughts weird, everyone must hate me. I tried to call out, but no one was around, around. No ones around.

Sitting on my bed having intimate conversations, with myself in my head more beautiful when I'm dead, but I've already tried that and it didn't go as I planned, so someone remind me why I am how I am. And I'd hate to justify, my poor actions, 'cause in the morning I will cry at what I've done. Fighting in my head over things I never said, take me in my skin, let you know, let me in. I hate this feeling the sight of my ceiling. And it's not in a weird way, I'm just desperate for someone to love me, and I'm not the romantic type, no it's not the romantic kind. And I'd hate to justify, my poor actions, 'cause in the morning I will cry at what I've done. I know you're right this time, but it's not that easy, I'm pathetically in love, with all I see. And I'd hate to justify, my poor actions, 'cause in the morning I will cry at what I've done. I know you're right this time, but it's not that easy, I'm pathetically in love, with everything.

I fall asleep on long car rides, I wanna stay awake but I don't even try. I know where delinquents go to find peace, in the backseat 6x I've been trying to reconnect but I don't think, that's something I can do so easily. I found my virtues hidden in my desk drawer, I am ashamed of what I chose, of what I choose, of what I do. I know where delinquents go to find peace, in the backseat 3x I compromise all the time just to see, I'm a big sheet, go unfold me 2x I know what it's like to stay up all night, but not with my friends and their friends who are so uptight. I stayed up till 3am just to hear the silence, and stand up again I will not be silenced. I know where delinquents go to find peace, in the backseat 3x I compromise all the time just to see, I'm a soft sheet, go unfold me 2x I fall asleep on long car rides.

Trolley Car 05:05
Lurking behind corners waiting, for your prey, your pretty lady. I know all your dirty secrets, I'm your conscious full of regrets. I am pushing it down the steps, I'm in a laundry basket pretending I'm a rocket. Watch me falling faster but once I've reached the end, all my bones shattered and I am dead. Repeat so they will listen, but they can't hear me. I'm only who you're missing, when you are lonely. My voice is so deceiving, you think it's pretty, but you don't see the parts of it that try to kill me. Stumbling onto the trolley car, get where you're going, I know you'll go far. On sunny days I hide away, on rainy days I go out to play. I am a television with neon hues. Go on your little mission, but what's the use? I won't be back here waiting, just for you. My love is slowly fading, I won't be used. I know I should know better, but I can't help it. When you can't fix it baby, you gotta sell it. Where do you think you're going? You gotta stay put. Don't you think you can stop me, I'll do what I want.

RIDE 03:56
There's a bus waiting, for you baby, they know where you want to go. They've got a lot of weapons, and they know how to use them, and they're not afraid to put on a show. I don't like it, but I can't deny that, it's kinda fun to be terrified. I don't trust it, but I can't fight it, I've got to ride it out. Ride 2x There's no use crying, so stop all your fucking whining and ride. There's a boy waiting, for me to come save him, but I don't want the world to see me. You like this kind of tension, but I'm crawling out the entrance, I just want my privacy. I don't want be here, but must confront my fears, I can picture me inside. It's the perfect excuse, to do what you want to do, I've got to ride it out. Ride 2x There's no use crying, so stop all your fucking whining and ride. We're all going, we're all going, the same place. 4x There's a man waiting, to take my plans and fade em, into a pretty picture. But I don't want your hands on, anything that I plan on, but I'll still get inside your car and Ride 2x There's no use crying, so stop all your fucking whining and ride.

Kweepy 01:26
I think I fooled you into thinking, that I am just really sweet, but I am just really creepy, tell me do you still want me? I keep everything inside, I keep everything anyone writes, I like the way their letters look, and everything that I stole or took. I found a cross in the football field, I liked the way that it made me feel. I wrote a hundred letters down, but I don't think I'll ever send them out. I think I fooled you into thinking, that I am just really sweet, but I am just really creepy, tell me do you still want me? 2x

Hold my hand, drag me, I don't care as long as you lead me, I can't see, I can't breathe. At 1am, I wrote you, at 2am I tried to, take off my body, my skin doesn't belong to me. I've got a strong voice, lots of opinions, but my lips do nothing but quiver and my, skins thick, my skins thick, but it still bleeds when you cut it. Swallow down, all of it, take a sip, to forget. I'm such a cliche, I gotta fucked up mind but I'll be okay. Steady now, hold your grip, work out all that's wrong with it. I hold my tongue like watery glue, it's slipping through. I've got a strong voice, lots of opinions, but my lips do nothing but quiver and my, skins thick, my skins thick, but it still bleeds when you cut it.

Can you turn it up, enough to forget, the things that were said, and they had meant? I like it better, when I'm in my head, can't speak for myself, I broke me again. Time is passing hollow bodies, Trojan horses, we are hiding in our intentions. I tried to give up, but I can't do it, can't throw it away when I've got nothing left. I talked to the walls, till finally they said, stop whining at us, you gotta get a friend. Get off of your ass, and do something else, but it's a lot more fun to just feel bad for myself. Time is passing hollow bodies, Trojan horses, we are hiding in our intentions. 2x You know you're not gonna get it, but you still hope for the best. If you can't ask for forgiveness, what the fuck do you expect? Time is passing hollow bodies, Trojan horses, we are hiding in our intentions.

Satin Sheets 05:09
Everyone has gone to sleep, everyone except for me. I don't care if they think I'm scared, I will sleep, I will sleep. 2x Everyone is walking the streets, I'm in love with my satin sheets. I can't get up out of my bed, they wouldn't notice if I woke up dead. Everyone has gone to sleep, everyone except for me. I don't care if they think I'm scared. I will sleep, I will sleep.
