When life hands me lemons I take them to the street Put them in box With a sign "Out of sugar so these are free" They go rather quickly Everyone taking what they can and i really dont mind To lend a helping hand And ive been doing it for years With a smile on my face But ive always wondered Will there ever be a change of pace? Cause although i do not mind Helping those in need In the back of my mind i always hoped Someone would bring some sugar for me But oh, dont get me wrong Im really not that naive If i wanted i could charge a buck or two For these delicious treats I could take myself to the store Buy all the sugar i need But im really not that thirsty Im just starving For kindness in humanity

why so sour?
I want to paint you a pitcure With blues and yellows and reds An image for your soul to take in My perception ingrained in your head. That split second before your lips touch mine I want to transform our feelings into colors And splatter them all over your fears Of how I could ever love another. But love comes in many forms Different ways and different shades And although he sleeps next to me I still lie awake. And during the time I lay there Trying to rest my tired mind That place between reality and dreams Thats where I find you everytime. And if i could just use our colors To cover up the truth Harness our left over innocence Preserve the happiness of our youth Then maybe we could just sit here Your hand in mine The picture of perfection A work of art that knows no time.

intro jaded understanding
Turn on sweet summer delusion Inside faulty memorized fantasies I never knew you Subconsciously tune into me. Ive only got a pretty face When its image reflects in your eyes Drop out of this world around you Shut me up when i start to cry. Strangers say have a nice day I want to ask about their dreams Twisted auto pilot existence Following a path of mundane routines. Oh break me free from somber shackles Let me run wild through your mind To no longer be a figment of reality No longer controlled by time. I yearn to be a thought Nothing more than a dream A soul not bound by body Like leaves flowing downstream. But id let your current catch me Trapped within you all summer long But the winter freeze will break me As i question your rights and my wrongs. And one day you will whisper to me "Baby girl,  i wish you could swim" Ill brush off the phrase quite quickly But in secret places ill grow grim. For there will always be a constant truth That lies dormant in the back of my mind That the rose colored glasses you see me through now Our only available for a limited time.

intro jaded understanding pt2
Its hard to sit here And not believe everything that I think But my mind cant be trusted When your words are like led paint That you inject into my spirit everytime we talk And I know its raining outside But I really think we should walk And will you hold my hand When im electrocuted? My mouth is a radio My mind is a television Ive never been original Only regergatared Ive never been original This heart will always be contaminated He asked me "when you go to sleep Do you dream of electric sheep" If anyone lacks empathy Its you not me Your insides are numb, ive always carried your pain Now im looking for the remedy To melt my static brain But everyone has there ways Of turning the world around And im just trying to keep up Before I crash into the ground

Frizzle
What is life but a test of love A test that im sure to fail For every decision I have to make Leaves someone alone and pale Pale like your skin the hospital room Where i selfishly choose to stay To weak to take the leap and be with you But not strong enough to get away And now you circle the great big unknown And on the inside im still by the stretcher Replaying our promises over in my head Of how we would always be together. And I chase these blue pills with a sip of guilt And walk around our memories alone. Grasping tight to the thought of you Hoping to bring you back home.

you've got a mean, green, faulty spleen
When I look at you I feel the same As when a natural disaster is heading my way. You say im something that can be contained, But realize that would ultimately destroy me. You are a hurricane, hurdling foward Sending a chill through my spine And everyone is running and taking cover But I have no desire to hide. You are beautiful like demolilition, Breaking down all my walls Just the taste of you infects me with madness Together we could conquer all. When we touch time stops completely The universe zooms in on the two of us Throwing us through every obstacle conceivable The world senses that we are dangerous. I want to be the light in your darkness And you can be the dark in my light Because honey i am the queen of the masochists Addicted to the pain and the night. We are immaculate creations. We are pure inspiration. We make adam and eve jealous. We make fairytales cringe. Everything we do is secret. Anything we do is magic.

kiss me, you animal.
I feel like i spend all my time trying to paint burning houses always throwing myself into these hopeless causes Driving myself up crumbling walls and wasting all my paint Now my world only spins in shades of monochromatic my colorless eyes looking oh so dramatic what i wouldnt give for a heart attack or severe fever just so i could feel something Ive got a reckless tounge and a destination addiction speaking words i wish i felt in all these different positions just waiting for the flash flood to carry me somewhere new But everywhere i go its just the same old **** the sun stares me down, i run happiness is not worth it so ill lock myself inside this half a home untill my sane abandons me then        maybe                     I                      Can                             Sleep.

you're just another dead bird in a flooded world.
Im drunk And ****** And speedin And cleanin And im seein All of your feelings, Out of the corner Of my eye. Where's the dope? Cause I cant cope With all our inside jokes Displayed for the world to see, Your heart is to much for me. So get to your point Before I light up this joint Cause once the buzzins in my brain I cant deal with the pain, That you're trying to project on me, Why cant you let yourself be happy? Creatin these problems in your head Then you're carrying them to bed. Our sheets are drenched in your nightmares, Your demons attack me in the night, And with your burdens on my back, Im too weak to fight. So im reachin for the bottle just to give my brain a break, Packin up a bowl, Cause its more than I can take. So I pop just one more pill, Smooth the edges and just chill, But I cant, not just yet Cause this house is such a wreck. So now im drunk And ****** And speedin And cleanin And im seein You dissapear Right before My eyes.

if you like too
I'll keep it to myself. Let it tear me apart, From the inside out. You know, some people never change. Sometimes, its better off that way. And as the maggots come to be, They rest in the best parts of me. So go ahead, Shut lock that door, Those places aren't special no more. Soon enough there won't be a single piece, Left of who I use to be, But maybe its better off this way, Maybe ill start over someday. Oh no, im not scared to die, I just dont think I can look, Into your pale blue eyes. It might be a silly fear, But a promise is a promise my dear. So ill keep it to myself. There's no point in letting it out. Its fading and decaying anyway, I already can't recall yesterday. Dont want you to see what I have become, I wash my guilt away with long walks and *** Oh no, it dont help that much. But nothing does after you've lost touch. So I'll keep it to myself.

Im a magnet for your maggots
I hear a voice Screaching noise Is it in or outside my head? Is it mad? Is it sad? Is it my brain Or my heart that's dead? Well ill cut it out Slice it up Take it out to the back To the streets To the thugs Pass it off as **** Can you feel me? Can you hear me now? Ill shine my shoes and get my coat They'll never know Ill be on top Be a rock Be the star of the show. Am I experiencing reality yet? Well this is what Staying up til 5 am does Ive got an itch that I cant scratch Im covered in membrane and dust. Sharpin my knife Dont think twice Ill disect the top layer Take out the bad Leave the good But then there is Nothing there At all. Try to put It back in But it doesn't fit So ill serve it on a hot plate Let you take it all in. How's it taste? Whats it like? Don't ask the price. Is it hot? Does it burn? Does it stick to your tounge? You can't afford it anyway. You cant afford it anyway.
