Hey little fly
What's it like to die
Is there a bright light your way?

Hey little thing
Would you like me to sing
Would it help you pass for me to stay?

I want to know you
But we're strangers
And we don't speak the same language

Does the fly paper give you a sense of safety
Does the raiding give you aspirations of change
Have you made your peace

Hey little ant
Crawling in the sand
Do the trenches give protection

Pull along the worm
It's finally your turn
To follow deadly directions

Be sure to zig zag
Crawling through the hill
Now's your chance to **** or be killed

Does the grass provide a feeling of camo
Does the raiding give you aspirations of change
Have you made your peace
Do you try at least
To calm the pounding nerves
It's absurd!

Hey beetle
Slowly growing fetal
Have the shells started to shock you

Hey helmet
Give him protection
He'll need it, to calm the pounding of the great insect zoo

I'm running out of ideas
I'm just waiting till the day you run away
Call in sick-in your mind
You're mine till the day you run away

Closing time is coming up
And one more mug won't be enough
But I'm enough to make you drunk
Oh lord help me I'm bubbling up

Shoot me down

I'm speeding down the hill
Please slow down baby you are killing me
Work me in-to your plans
Plan my life out you are killing me

Closing time is coming up
And one more mug won't be enough
But I'm enough to get you drunk
Oh lord help me I'm bubbling up

Shoot me down
Stop clowning around
I'm the biggest hurricane to ever hit this town

Shoot me down
Stop clowning around
I'm a twister allegory  of a snake
You'll never live this down

Beat
Beat back the urge

Beat it back to the Stone Age
You nerd!

I got a motor mouth
A mile a minute
It's a song and dance
But I'm not in it

Bite
Bite your lip

Fool yourself into thinkin'
You've beat it

I got a tigger finger
No gun to pull
A fragile headstock
Lost my cool

I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away
I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space
You can keep it down for a little while
But soon enough you'll be forced to smile

Keep
Keep your cool

Keep it locked up tight
One rule

I got a worn out shirt
It Never fits right
I shift my shoulders
Under the lights

Make
Yourself do better

Make it all go away
It's the weather


I'm a bit twitchy Don't touch me
I need you to love me
You're so far above and I'm so far below
I'm losing control and it's just not enough
My nerves are aching to just get rough
I'm worried what happens if I'm in freeze
I get up the itch and I need a release
There's so much to manage to do and to say
My mouth is just in the way

I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away
I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space
You can keep it down for a little while
But soon enough you'll be forced to smile

Time to write an angry letter
I have played my part
Puppets dancing I surrender
I go home and then

I come back to hear you laughing
I was so afraid
You've been second guessing happy
Where have you been

White out
You wanna write me out
Well that's fine, go ahead, you're editing
White out
I'm a sound of a mountain
A portrait of an artist in-sanity

Electric tape and chalk outlines
I fix it all for you
I'm the guy who kept you alive
What do you want me to say

I'm sorry
The pressure of survival got me
Calling you back instantly

Don't worry
I'll delete your number
I'm only dumber than you
Intentionally

White out
You wanna write me out
Well that's fine, you're editing
White out
I'm a sound of a mountain
A portrait of an artist insanity

Red ink
Dripping from your wrist
You sign a pact

I sink
Into a state of paranoia
It wasn't that bad

White out
You wanna write me out
Well that's fine, you're editing
White out
I'm a sound of a mountain
A portrait of an artist insanity

I'm off again
I'm calling you out again
I'm off again
I'm not drawing
****** lines for you
That's what you wanted me to do
Isn't it

I remember telling you to get lost
I thought you'd finally done it
I can't forget the uncertainty
Oh man I hated that summer

Tell me that I helped, tell me that I
Made a difference
In your life
It's my life

I'm nothin' without someone else
I'm nothin' by myself
The words are swirling round my brain
Without you I can feel my pain
Without you I'm a stain
Man I really need some help

Do you think I could say a few words
Do you think that it would be okay
I don't want to say them If you'll hate me
But i guess if I'm not in the way

I'd like to express my opinion
I'd like to say I'm sorry
To mark and Kurt, and to Freddie
I really hope you would have liked me

Tell me that I made a difference, tell me that
I helped
In your life
It's my life

I'm nothin' without someone else
I'm nothin' by myself
The words are swirling round my brain
Without you I can feel my pain
Without you I'm a stain
Man I really need some help


As I face the crowd I think aloud
A mirror would be useful here
My vision's blurred inside the noise
Reflecting light has been destroyed
They see me differently on stage
My breaking voice betrays my age
I could use some help right now
I think I'm going deaf right now
I face the crowd and scream aloud
Am I allowed to breathe right now


I'm nothin' without someone else
I'm nothin' by myself
The words are swirling round my brain
Without you I can feel my pain
Without you I'm a stain
Man I could really use some help
