I didn't hear you call so
I didn't bother to wake
I didn't hear you knocking
I haven't heard your voice either
I don't know how much longer I can take -
Who am I to prevail?
What am I going to do?
What will I teach the world -
With all of the knowledge about you?

i have two fists i
choose not to use i
have thumbs
finger tips
to
exist - i
have the power
to set flame to every object around me
i can drown entire cities courtesy of wrath
i can topple and
twist fellowships -
i
can
live forever
if I acknowledge it -
it
it's
all for the taking if you can reach it
my hands
so far away from me
i'm sorry

I'm sorry I said that
You didn't deserve that
They say every body is a broken bell -
That must explain the ringing in my ears
I can't tell you no -
I know, -  I should tell you no -
But no, I can't tell you no -
Oh - here I am again,
night owl at a crow bar -
another situation I was leveraged into -
but somehow so far, so so-so, so mediocre -
So far, away, you must be by now

on the roof of my mouth is a chimney
the soles of my feet are worn down
traded places too many times -
stars are static and i hit the sky with an open palm -
attached antennas tall and hideous circular steel
beams sharp and grandiose -
i don't
get out
much these days
i don't
talk to
them anymore
i saw a comet hit my neighbor's house

Don't stay too long
But don't keep your pants on -
Shoes tied too tight?
Let loose but
Don't get comfortable -
I think you believe in me -
I think I believe in me -
That'll show 'em -
That'll show 'em -
It's nice when you call and
ask how my day is going -
and it's nice when you want
to know where we are going -
I don't follow much of a map anymore -
but I still get where
I need to go.

I'm a nice guy (nice guy)
Wasn't always the case
I'm doing alright (alright)
But it
Wasn't always the case

I wasn't always so willing to speak about it
See, I was just as lost reading out the
Fist fights screaming shouting - matches passed it
almost me sapped of passion
no shocker I
zapped back into action
People confused might say it's
acting and passive
My alphabetical magic is massive -
Please!
I don't seek the blood of my enemies!
I'm so nice
I'm so nice
I'm too nice.

there's no punch clock steam engine whistle
where I work
where I work
no one has to yell
out of anger, or spill
liquid glass across my skin
where I work
I worked to get there
and I work
to run away
as fast as possible
