It's not so hard to be happy
Though it seems much easier to be sad
You've just got to put all that nothing on a scale
And weigh it against everything you've always had

Let's all have a pity party
I'll share with you all my laments
Then you can croon your condolences
So that the healing can commence

Let's all share some sympathy
And mewl and condescend
Let's all feel better about ourselves
At someone else's expense

We'll be nice
And give advice
Convinced that we are ever so kind
Our victim will be flattered by our attention
By the fact that we took out the time

Let's guilt them into forsaking their self worth
And bend their will to suit our own
We'll reduce them to the status of a begging dog
And then we'll throw them a bone

Individuality is to be abhorred
As are the flaws in their body and face
We have to all get together on this
Someone's got to put them in their place

Then we'll hang a sign around their neck
Which reads "Don't Be Anything Like Me"
This is turning out to be a great success
What a grand ol' Pity Party!

Addicted to diction,
With conflicting
Prescriptions
From competing
Physicians,
I'm dying from sickness
In the wealthcare system.
Our nutrition
Is based on
Corn-laced fiction,

Superstitions,
And a pill for every
Devised affliction.
We're born into life
Under welfare
Conscription,
And destined to die
From dereliction.
Make sure to vote
For the best

Next election,
As they raise
A toast
To their own
Reflections.

And she wore
black eyes in her pockets
and when she cried
her jeans went red.
my baby speaks with the
tip of her tongue on the
back of her teeth.
and every time I hear her speak
her beauty
makes me weak
and I'm down on my knees.

I want to breathe smoke
I want to dance in the rain
I want to redefine what it means to be insane

I want to tear down the walls
I want to flip the script
I want to rewrite the laws in a way I see fit

I want you to love me
I want not to care
I want to sell you your madness
At a price that's unfair

I want to cure all that's ugly
And purify the soul
I want to build you a maze
Then tell you which way to go

I want to stay young
I want to grow old
I want to disprove all of the lies you've been told

I want to be brilliant
While still being bland
I want to make love to you
I wanna hold your hand
I want to decipher all of the things that you don't understand
I want to reveal to you God's "Grand Master Plan"

I want to say all the right things
I want to control what I think
I want to find your battleship
And make that mother sink

I want another cigarette
I need another drink
I'm having such a hard time
Just trying to fall asleep

I want to inspire
I want to get inside your head
If I'm so tired
Why can't I just go to bed

I don't want to retire
I don't want it to end
I'll keep stoking this fire
I'll sleep when I'm dead

All of time is happening at once.
I am forever sharing that awkward first car ride.
Knees bumping in the dark.

All of time is happening at once.
I am still sitting on that couch
stealing glances at tattooed covered arms
from across the room, wanting them wrapped
around the small of my back.

All of time is happening at once.
I am forever at the tip of your tongue
Syllables echoing like the Big Bang.

If you have somewhere to get to
Just come and let me know
I will gladly take you anywhere
Every place you want to go

If there's anything you need out there
Anything at all
Just know that I am here for you
Don't hesitate to call

Helping is just in my nature
At least, when it comes to helping you
I just can't seem to help myself
I'll do anything for you

Even if you just want to talk
I am an excellent listener
I could listen to your voice for days
Tightly wrapped around your finger

I really wish you would call soon though
It has been quite awhile
I yearn to do somethings for you
I want to make you smile

I'm worried that you haven't called
And as I'm wondering why
I see you walking down the street
Holding hands with some other guy

So it seems you found someone new
To do all of that stuff
All the things I used to do for you
I guess you've had enough

But I know for a fact
That he won't last
He doesn't know you like I do
Before long
You'll come crawling back
You'll see that I'm the one for you

Because he doesn't know what position you played
In little league when you were a kid
He doesn't know about when your grandpa died
Or that he wore a wig

He doesn't care about the movies you like
Or that you only wear one shade of lipstick
He's probably just like every other guy
And only cares about your ****

I bet he doesn't know what pulls at your heart
Or how you wish that you could paint the moon
So I can't allow myself to fall apart
I know you'll need me again real soon
