Douse it all in gasoline
And set this cardboard movie scene on fire
A dance of light reflecting off the props as they dissolve into the dust
That makes up everything
I tried to leave the county once
I called up the ambulance
To take me away
But a girl I met with a smoky voice drags my heart around like the other boys
So i've got no other choice but to stay
And wait
And wait
But the time is always running out on you
You find it's always out on you
Find it's always out on you can't wait
But the time is always running out on you
You find it's always out on you
Find it's always out and you can't wait
Maybe after surgery
remove all my hyperbole and lies
This quiet conflagration come to take us all to heaven
As it sets this sickly stage of ours on fire
But we'll ignore this quiet night
And we'll ignore these city lights of fire
As they raise their hands towards heaven
And we'll ignore this eternity
And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs
As they raise their hands towards heaven
And we'll ignore this quiet night
And we'll ignore these city lights of fire
As they raise their hands towards heaven
And we'll ignore this eternity
And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs
As they raise their hands towards heaven
You'll be holding on to me
You'll be singing quietly inside this city gates
As they burn away

I'm not a lover or a fighter
I am a self-conscious dick
Love's between a girl and her drug dealer
A love between a boy and bitterness
And I'm afraid of the way that I feel
I'm afraid my feelings aren't real
Cause I cried more at Terminator 2
Than when I got left by you
So self-righteous
So self-loathing
And I just found a tick living in my hair
I don't pull him off
I'm just glad something needs me to be here
And now I'm tasting wine and cheese
Taking rides on my jetski
I can afford all these things
With the money I was saving for your engagement ring
So self-righteous
So self-loathing
So self-righteous
So self-loathing
And if Kanye West feels alone sometimes
What hope do I have?
What hope do I have?
And if Kanye West feels alone sometimes
What hope do I have?
What hope do I have?
What hope do I have?

With a brush and ink
I paint a lake
Some times all it takes
is a walk around the lake
to ease your mind
all it takes
is a walk
'round the lake
is a walk
'round the lake
Late at night
I'll stay up and write
a book about my life...
...so no one would ever make
all of my mistakes
To ease your mind
all it takes
is a walk
'round the lake
is a walk
'round the lake
Well, I've made my loved ones cry right in front of my eyes
and I've spent so long hurting
in such a short life
but I'm moving on
My heart is grown
I'm moving on
Yes, I'm moving on
My heart is grown
I'm moving on
Oh, and sometimes it's all it takes
is a walk around the lake
Oh, and sometimes it's all it takes
is a walk
'round the lake
is a walk
'round the lake
is a walk
'round the lake

playing checkers in the great hall
made math and science school a little less not fun at all
studying all night for dr. kish's quiz
at least you never caught Yersinia pestis
LAN parties after lights out
some got mad when we competed for the longest shout
Suspended for a week when i propped a door
so we drove to shawnee to get some tips from rushmore
it was looking pretty bleak - would they let us stay?
But did we really want imprisonment anyway?
Still, I'm pretty glad they let us back in
You were a pretty shoddy roommate but i'd do it again
Don't ever take for granted what you're given
mathew when they found you they had found you finding jesus as well
the poison had caught you in its spell
did nobody bother you to tell
the catholics would banish you to ...
well they should know that you're in
a better part of hell
Making fun of tyler and aaron for being so fat
and how laura was such a brat
double-cut punch right across the chin
boxing during study time once and again
and with a couple old foils we'd fight and then
party in the dark to Aphex Twin
Always kind of an ass, always making us laugh
i used to like looking into the past
now you're out of line, now you're out of time
forever asshole
did you really think you had it the worst of all?
you had: everything you ever needed
except another head a little less conceited
forget about the ones that once you needed
matthew when they found you they had found you finding jesus as well
the poison had caught you in its spell
did nobody bother you to tell
the catholics would banish you to
well they should know that you're in
a better part of hell
than the darkness whence you fell before
matt when they found you they had found that you'd found christ where
you lay
he gave you the strength to live, they say.
i think he gave you the strength to pass away
he made you believe it was okay
to produce all the pain and blame
anchors away!
five hundred yesterdays
before you took your breath away.
not a lot to say
nothing much to do
there is a part of you
in every of the ones you knew
one of whom forever blue
i only wish you knew
that the gun that failed to fire beforehand
tried to tell you nothing new

Well I know
I ain't spoken of love in
A coon's age
But i can't help it now
Just helping myself to
Whatever i can
I chose
The softest
Kind of dove
To chase around
To place bound and stout
In a pose
Of arrogance, and loneliness
Of cleanliness
Silence all the clocks tonight
It's show time, with drinks to spill
Hear my mouth, I've got the sounds
To send you back home with peace of mind
Well I pace myself
When marching
Because I tangle up
My legs if I don't
Slow down
And look at my woman;
Remember that everything is round
Complete, or completing
Silence all the clocks tonight
It's show time, with drinks to spill
Hear my mouth, I've got the sounds
To send you back home with peace of mind

you've done it again
you made me scared to be alive
you took away my appetite
and you're always doing fine
you've got it made
you've got a man to earn a wage
you've got a boy who will behave
and sing to you from center stage
i don't wanna die, i don't wanna die
i don't wanna die, i don't wanna die
tonight, tonight
but i don't wanna be alive, wanna be alive
i don't wanna be alive, wanna be alive
tonight, tonight
i'm at it again
i hit the town just to see a friend
we start to smile as we talk again
shit, i remember how this ends
we drift apart
doomed to fail right from the start
a lonely boy with a broken heart
a lonely boy, a lonely boy

French is the language of love
But I can't speak French, so I cannot love
Sometimes I feel like breaking down
I feel like the only one around
It makes me sad
It makes me frown
Oh I wanna learn French
Love is stupid like French
I always fail love, I'll probably fail French
Sometimes I feel like breaking down
I feel like the only one around
It makes me sad
It makes me frown
Oh I wanna learn French
I wanna learn French
I wanna learn French
I wanna learn French

This is about the time when the lonely sets in
I crawl outta bed just to beat the walls in
I can't believe I've gone and done it again
On and on and on and on
it goes on and on and on and on
it goes on and on and on and on
it goes on and on and on and on
but the sun will come again
my whole world is sinking in
I will not be steeped in sin
You're my only friend
(chorus)
This is about the time when I beat myself up
my brain is in the sky
and you've had enough
I can't ever blame you
for giving up
(chorus)
but the radio will still play on
and my heart will always sing along
why can't I be what you want
I'll never let you go
(chorus)
This is about the time when I promise I'll try
to give it all up and let my habits die
I can't ever blame you for knowing I lie
(chorus)

If I were smarter, not stubborn or bruised
I would’ve made my peace and given up on you
You’ve really gotta spell it out for me man
Because I’m used to getting what I want
And assuming that I can
But it wasn’t part of the plan
For us to get so carried away
And get so out of hand
