I hate the way that 'no fragrance' smells. I hate the way I can't see in the dark. I hate how everytime I run away, I can't seem to escape. And it always brings me right back to where it starts. I hate the way the weeds kill off the plants. I hate the feeling I never did my part. I hate when I say how I feel, and everyone looks away... I run and run 'til I'm right back at where it starts. Now if I could kill everyone in the world, I'd save some fam' & friends and a whole lot of fuckin' squirrels. So we could re-populate the Earth, and everyone would be nuts. And the squirrels? Well they would carry us away. I hate the way you reacted to my last verse. I hate when I have to see a hearse roll through the park. I hate everytime somebody dies, and you didn't get to say goodbye... You feel worse and worse 'til you're right back at where it starts. I hate the bastards that think skin color means a thing. It's even worse when I didn't know that was the way you are. And as much as I'd love to stomp your face, and make you scream sorry to all... I gotta keep my mouth closed 'til another one decides to start. I gotta keep my mouth closed 'til another one... Decides... To start.

One early summer evening below the yellow clouds, They built another pointless mall. In a marching sea of orange, a working man stands tall. Another case of twinkie-sweet-withdrawl. And if I ever 'snap'... Put me into a room where no one else can go. With padding up and down the walls. Give me daily recreation, once a week phone calls. But never take me near that mall. For those of you keepin' track... Shit's gonna bang today. (Gonna bang today) In one another way. (One another way) Shit's gonna bang today. (Gonna bang today) No matter what you say... ...Shit's gonna bang today. One early summer evening below the yellow clouds, They built another pointless mall.

And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Tell me if it hurts, I'll stop it and I'll learn, That going out for blood won't always find the answer. Teach a bird to sing, 'till it mends a broken wing, But everybody knows it won't cure her cancer. And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Make a stake in time, in the corner of your mind, Even if you think nobody's listenin'. Leave it up to chance, then lose it in a trance. Even what you thought, you think you're wasting. And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make believe, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive.

I'm steppin' on the clouds now. I said, I'm steppin' on the clouds now. I don't know where you've been, While I've been... ...In the sky. I don't wanna ask you. I've never had to ask to: Fall all so humbly to my knees. I wonder... ...If she sees. Does she dream? Of me? I walk into the open. I'm drownin' in the ocean. Somebody save me inside. I'm not ready... ...to die. Only lookin' at her, Smiling and laughter. Nothin' else matters no more. I'm caught in... ...The Undertow. Does she know? Does she know? Does she know?

Always catch me ridin' through AK-Town. Never fall asleep with the mac down, no. It's day but you live in a night gown. Hopin' no one ever finds out. You a busta' and you live with ya' fist clenched. Ya' never really knew what ya' life meant, no. 'Til you spoke on it in the past tense. And you still dunno if it's workin'. You still dunno if it's workin'. You still dunno if it's workin' out for you. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway. Hurry up and take your time, summer's never here to stay. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway. I've been through hell and back so you can hear me. Translucent words, no longer showing clearly. I get the feeling you're no longer near me. But I don't have the words to tell you. That I don't really know where my head is. Can't recall, quite what you said is. All's I know is that you will be missed. But I don't have the words to tell you. No I don't have the words to tell you. I don't have the words to tell you so. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway. Hurry up and take your time, summer's never here to stay. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway. Hurry up and take your time, summer's never here to stay. Summer time barbeque, murder in the alleyway.

I'm so sorry, I'd never have words in my life to say: That I know you're feelin' pain, no one else around will ever know. & everytime you face your memories, the feeling inside grows. I wish I could take the hurt for you and I'm sad to say I can't. But I understand... Girl, I understand. Hey Shawty, Tell me 'bout your dreams. But speak slowly, So I can see 'em how you see.

The Professor's successor told me, he refused to take the job. He didn't want the responsibility, of buildin' all those bombs. He says it wasn't about Sadaam, but before he could tell me the truth... The sniper took him out from on the roof. Sterilizin' needles for the lethal injection. Fresh outta' school but we never learned our lesson. Why is the truth labeled with 'viewer discretion'? It's a lemon-scented armageddon. Pepsi-Cola soldiers strapped, ready for war. Screamin', "Down with the Coca-Cola overlords!" You can getcha' high just by huffin' on some pine-sol. Causin' forest fires, never knowin' what the pines saw. Double standards everytime we find an answer. It makes you cool, but it also causes cancer. She's not a whore, nahh... She's just a dancer. Help me! Help me!... Why won't you answer? They're comin' through this city, layin' asphalt. But who's to blame? It's eenie-meenie-miney-mo's fault. A dollar-worth of wood; a thousand-dollar les paul. I'm going crazy, bording dock's last call! The Professor's successor told me, he refused to take the job. He didn't want the responsibility, of buildin' all those bombs. He says it wasn't about Sadaam, but before he could tell me the truth... The sniper took him out from on the roof. I never seem to have the time for everything I wanna do, But you can be awarded time for what ya' do, in blue prison suits. Three 'square-meals' for squeezin' off a Smith & Wesson. It's a lemon scented armageddon. Label this, label that, but don't get mad. Stand in line for ya' barcode and price tag. Yeah. 'Cuz we all for sale my friend, that's that. I'm goin' crazy and I'm never gonna look back. Look for sanctuary in a melody, harmony. When did free expression suddenly become a felony? I seen a lot of 'thangs, so I can't be wrong. And if I'm not I'll be assassinated by the end of this song. I'll play along, I'll even play the game. 'Cuz I seen the bigger picture and they got us in the frames. Now I see a new day, simple and plain. Keep ya' coins, I'm just lookin' for change. The Professor's successor told me, he refused to take the job. He didn't want the responsibility, of buildin' all those bombs. He says it wasn't about Sadaam, but before he could tell me the truth... The sniper took him out from on the roof. The sniper took him out from on the roof. The sniper took him out from on the roof.

I take the lights away. I turn the colors into grey. And even if it seems, the sky was never meant to bleed, It will be raining soon. 'Cuz I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke. I put ya high into the sky. I turn ya' fights into 'quite alrights'. And even if it seems, the moon's too far away, Box nine will change your mind. 'Cuz I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke. This is a waltz ladies and gentlemen! We'd like to see everybody on their feet, under the big top! Not to be confused with the last waltz, jitterbug or disco! ...change partners! And don't forget after the show tonight, to visit our "Super Freak Show" featuring, "Lady Malochai: The Zombie Goose from North Bridge". But pay no attention to that man behind the box! He is but... A ferris wheel operator. Ha haaaaa!!! I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke.

I breathe. I dream. I wish. But what does it mean? I hurt. I bleed. I hope... Someday they'll see. Sit tight, I promise this won't hurt you. 300 miligram boy, why have you broken all of your toys? Did she put you to bed, with broken thoughts in your head? Did she promise on and on she'd never hit you again? And when she did... Did you cry or smile? I speak. So free. I trip... and hope they don't see. I run. I flee. I know... No one's like me. Sit tight, I promise this won't hurt you. 300 miligram boy, why have you broken all of your toys? Did she put you to bed, with broken thoughts in your head? Did she promise on and on she'd never hit you again? And when she did... Did you cry or smile?

Woke up this mornin' and I fell outta' bed. Or was it just in my head? 'Walked outside and there was frost on the lawn. I dunno what I'm gonna become. All I know comes from what I see. And I know I'm in the inbetween. Oh boy... Fourteen piggies and a bottle of cologne Says I need left alone. 'Walked outside and the ground, it smiled. He said it's just a child. All I know comes from what I see. And I know I'm in the inbetween. Oh boy... Got a perception and a will to live That both percept like a seive. But there's a window where I can see... ...nothin'. But it's better then a breeze. All I know comes from what I see. And I know I'm in the inbetween. Oh boy... All I know comes from what I see. And I know I'm in the inbetween. Oh boy... All I know comes from what I see. And I know I'm in the inbetween.

No matter how hard you try, you're never gonna simplify: "Maybe" & No matter how hard you try, you're never gonna justify: Leaving. & When the world grows cold, what's said will have been told. And through the screams, I will remember my dreams. & Lookin' back at what you've made, you'll tell me I should have stayed. And when I wake, I'll know the world is fake 'Cuz it's part of me.

She doesn't understand what she's doing. She doesn't understand, that I truely... Love her. I love her. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs. Take me, Somewhere I've never been before. So I don't focus on this anymore 'Cuz I can't take the rejection. Stop me, From go'n knockin' on an open door. To hear the words, "No not anymore, I put you second after the injections." She doesn't understand what she's doing. She doesn't understand, that I truely... Love her. I love her. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs. Lately, I got the feelin' that there's somethin' else. Got the feelin' that my heart would melt If she don't start to learn her lesson. Maybe, If I tell her how I really felt, It would change the angry hand she's dealt And put a smile on her reflection. 'Cuz she doesn't understand what she's doing. She doesn't understand, that I truely... Love her. I love her. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs. She doesn't understand what she's doing. She doesn't understand, that I truely... Love her. I love her. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs. She's what I love, but she, loves the drugs...

Know no red light I know no more. Never woulda' stopped me any time before. I Know no red light has no rule. Never woulda' made much sense... ...to say to you. I know no candle lights my way. Never will as none did yesterday. I know no candle is in need. But I never could pass up light when it's for free. I know no fire burns inside. It never starts, it never will subside. I know no fire meltin' me. But I never could start a fire in the breeze. Know no red light I know no more. Never woulda' stopped me any time before. I Know no red light has no rule. Never woulda' made much sense... ...to say to you.

Wash your hands, go on & wash 'em clean. I'll show you thangs you ain't never seen. I'll fly you high, I'll drop you low. We can learn the things that the Nobodies know. I can't promise you'll come back the same. I can start the fire, but I can't bring the rain. Voices tamed still bring the pain, Chances are you'll stay the same, But other odds you'll start to see... You'll come out lookin' more like me. When you wash your hands, go on & wash 'em clean. I'll show you thangs you ain't never seen. I'll fly you high, I'll drop you low. We can learn the things that the Nobodies know. Empty pockets for completed deeds. Planted seeds grow dying trees. Wilted willows and angry ash, Meloncholy things, might make you laugh, Reflected feelings in your bath... Force your mind to do the math. As you Wash your hands, c'mon boy wash 'em clean. Wash away these things you've seen. As the darkest Queen betrayed her king, As the caged bird learns to sing, Wash your hands. Go on & wash 'em clean.

Educate... the youth! Ha ha haaa... State liquor store, right up the street. Only makes me think of trouble, I'll have to meet. Nothin's hidden (nope) It's right in front of me. Everyone's so blind to see, it's on the streets. It's them or you. Educate the youth. It's time to choose. It's them or you. The bloodline flows, up through the park. So tell me man, what makes your mark? Seagulls soar, where roadkill fries. Can't ya man, read between the lines? It's only lies. It's them or you. Educate the youth. It's time to choose. It's them or you. Educate the youth. Educate the youth. Educate the youth. Educate the youth.

Just one gun... There's needles in the ballpit and smiles on their faces. Everyone knows, but no one goes home. If there was just one gun, would you jump to pull it? Or would you take time to think before you use the bullet? Maybe learn, the silliness of both. Seems I'll never know. Seems I'll never know. Somebody tell me, somethin' I don't know. I'd make the journey, but it goes so far from home. & I know it don't make it right, I struggle with myself but I'm down to ride, & Its messin' with my head more every night, Screamin' to myself, "Why why why why?" Are there needles in the ballpit and smiles on their faces? Everyone knows, but no one goes home. If there was just one gun, would you jump to pull it? Or would you take time to think before you use the bullet? Maybe learn, the silliness of both. Seems I'll never know. Seems I'll never know. Somebody tell me, what that man just said. I'm seein' red, I'm confident, that nothin's positive (Nothin's positive) It's a life of hand-me-down sorrow, borrow tomorrow, And cross your fingers... ...Everything comes out ok. 'Cuz there's needles in the ballpit and smiles on their faces. Everyone knows, but no one goes home. If there was just one gun, would you jump to pull it? Or would you take time to think before you use the bullet? Maybe learn, the silliness of both. Seems I'll never know. Seems I'll never know...

You got to let it down, let it down, let it down. 'For you let it all get away. I've got to get it right, get it right, get it right. Before I got insane. So what are you waitin' for? Quit actin' like I been here before. 'Cuz maybe if you cleared your mind, you'd see what you left behind... Through the trees. You got to let it down, let it down, let it down. 'For you let it all get away. I've got to get it right, get it right, get it right. Before I go insane. So why am I still confused, when it's so clear what you did choose? But remember that I cared when nobody cared even when ya' scared. For some reason I'm not welcome now... With you. You got to let it down, let it down, let it down. 'For you let it all get away. I've got to get it right, get it right, get it right. Before I go insane. Seperation anxiety. Is comin' on back to me. Seperation anxiety.

She takes 'em down, down by the lake side. She takes 'em down, down by the lake side. Sinks her teeth into their spine and sucks their bones dry. She walks into the cities, right around midnight. She walks into the cities, right around midnight. And by the time they hear their cries, she's gone with the moonlight. What's it gonna take? Lonely all these years. All's she want's to love, but the feeling dissapears. Eveanescence slowly, finds herself in tears, All the blood spilt in the world ain't gonna help her see herself in the mirror. Sleepin' in her casket, she hides from the sunshine. Sleepin' in her casket, she hides from the sunshine. 'Til the hunger returns, To drink on her blood wine. Then it's back to the public, to hunt for a new meal. Back to the pretty people, to hunt for a new meal. And as much as she fought the feelin', It was never so real. What's it gonna take? Lonely all these years. All's she want's to love, but the feeling dissapears. Eveanescence slowly, finds herself in tears, All the blood spilt in the world ain't gonna help her see herself in the mirror. Someone tell that girl, her end is comin'. Someone tell that girl, her end is comin'. And blood's gonna be runnin' If she don't do somethin'. He bust in through the door, yet caused no alarm. Stake and hammer in his hands, yet caused no alarm. 'Cuz she sat alone welcoming death, With open arms. What's it gonna take? Lonely all these years. All's she want's to love, but the feeling dissapears. Eveanescence slowly, finds herself in tears, All the blood spilt in the world ain't gonna help her see herself in the mirror.

Day of dark, play your part, Mark your end, my pupils dialating. Matches spark & touch the wick, The room clears out as I start suffocating. And I know it seems you're so far away. But you gotta stay in the game to play. & So I wish you well... & So I wish you... Well I thought, the land was bought, But at second glance, the lease was pending. War is fought, casualties down, Wounds wide open will forever be mending. Flint brings spark, flash ignite, Burns the sky, the world below is melting. Smoke soars high and leaves it's plague. Secilia screaming, "Boy what were you thinking?" And I know it seems you're so far away. But you gotta stay in the game to play. & So I wish you well... & So I wish you well... And I know it seems you're so far away. But you gotta stay in the game to play. & So I wish you well... & So I wish you well...

The tire swing has slowly stopped spinnin', And the wishing well has run dry, This could very well be the end of forever, And I'm not sure I understand why. The tree house has fallen to pieces, To the ground where we used to play, This could very well be the end of forever, And I would have nothing to say. The girl up the street full of smiles, Is now a woman with a head of grey hair, She hasn't smiled in years, through her tears it becomes clear, She hasn't a reason left to care. & I know, I know, Not everything stays the same. & I know, I know, Not everything floats my way. I know, I know, I left as soon as I came. It just never occured to me, How quickly, Things can change. Holdin' eachother's hands in the doorway, Splashin' through the puddles & rain, Never stopped to think of what might come tomorrow, It's funny how quickly it came. I promise I won't let you down, Give me the chance and you'll see, Fair warning, though it's not in my intentions to do so, I won't say goodbye if I leave. The old horse can't hold up his saddle, Yet I envy the look in his eyes, 'Cuz aside from me, he's the only one, Who understands when somebody dies. & I know, I know, Not everything stays the same. & I know, I know, Not everything floats my way. I know, I know, I left as soon as I came. It just never occured to me, How quickly, Things can change. The tire swing tree has been cut down, And the wishing well's a pile of stones, This could very well be the end of forever, But if you're new here, then you'd never know. The remains of the tree house are gone now, And the leaves are wilted with care, This could very well be the end of forever, And the old tree has never looked so bare. So I went to try'n cheer up an old friend, Her whole family was in front of her place, That sour old woman with a head full of grey, Left this Earth with a smile on her face. & I know, I know, Not everything stays the same. & I know, I know, Not everything floats my way. I know, I know, I left as soon as I came. It just never occured to me, How quickly, Things can change.
