My Felonies
What I'm saying and what I'm meaning
Are two different things, can you guess the reason?
All I got, it's not what I'm needing
All that I know is my pleas aren't so pleasing
Maybe it's the answer, maybe it's the pain
Maybe it's the reason that they look all the same
Never really knew what to do with what I'm after
Til the time I realized it doesn't really matter
But all I can say is what I've been feeling
All I can claim is what I've been stealing
All I got I guess it's not what I'm needing
Cause all I'm thinking is what I'm seeking
What a drag I can't have my felonies
What a drag you're so sad you're stuck with me
Said I can have the poison
I can even pick the flavor
I can have the anarchy
Or I can have behavior
I can claim it all just to spite your objection
And take a little time so let's begin
Said I can have the mind
I can even have the matter
I can have the memory of happy ever after
I can swallow my tongue just to taste the digestion
But what I can have is not my obsession
But all I can say is what I've been feeling
All I can claim is what I've been stealing
All I got I guess it's not what I'm needing
Cause all I'm thinking is what I'm seeking
What a drag I can't have my felonies
What a drag you're so sad you're stuck with me
Maybe it's the cultivation, maybe it's the seed
Maybe it's the reason that I never really need
Maybe it's the answer, maybe it's the pain
Maybe it's the reason that I never ever came
Maybe it's another, maybe it's unique
Maybe it's the reason that my interest is piqued
Maybe it's the former, maybe it's the latter
Maybe it's the reason that the reason doesn't matter
Just when it seemed like I learned my lesson
Start second guessing, I'm still obsessing
But all I can say is what I've been feeling
All I can claim is what I've been stealing
All I got I guess it's not what I'm needing
Cause all I'm thinking is what I'm seeking
What a drag I can't have my felonies
What a drag I can't have my felonies

Ex Catholic
Yeah it's sentimental bliss
And it goes like this:
I got a new friend
She's an ex Catholic
She got a new trend, side bend, back in, what a trend
Thinks I'm not new at this
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
I hope you haven't noticed
She got a new trend
She's an ex-Communist
This was a strange fit, makes sense, red's in, my friend
She's always been generous
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
Silently smiling, walking away
Silently smiling, nothing to say
Silently smiling, this from a kiss
Silently smiling, it's sentimental bliss
And it goes like this
She's such a good friend
She's an ex Catholic
She keeps a halo in a box under her bed
Was she ever that innocent?
Where do we go to say goodnight?
I don't want to say goodbye
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
I hope you haven't noticed I am so completely hopeless
She's an ex Catholic

Hello (Won't You Go Away)
Hello (la di di da)
Hello (la di di da)
Hello, won't you go away?
Think I had a thought, then a twist in the plot
And the mind had gone astray
But the truth of the matter, took the stairs to the ladder
And I still wouldn't go away
It's such a pleasure, the two of us together
You left the right side of my brain
Never really know until you step into the rain
Bottom of the mountain, top of the plain
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy the abuse
Hello
Hello
Hello, won't you go away?
True to the disease I got a fear of paranoia
And I approach it from the the front cause the side is gonna warn ya
I evolved into Erectus, but I'm feeling kind of weary
All this standing on my feet and now my posture's getting heavy
It's the power of perception, provides the misdirection
The flashing of the lights to try and blind the imperfections
And I'm staring at the signs that my ignorance ignored
I was climbing through the window cause the warning's on the door
And I thought, oh what a favor to let me taste the flavors
Of all the fluids we exchanged
Never really realized the things you took away
And now I'm standing in the back and I wish you'd do the same
But I got everything I need, I got expired medications
I got frivolous pursuits, I got a taste of motivation
I got locks in the safe, still they're feeling paranoid
But I got crayons in the cranium to decorate the voids
It's such a pleasure, the two of us together
You left the right side of my brain
Never really know until you step into the rain
Bottom of the mountain
Top of the plain
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy the abuse
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used
Hello
Hello
Hello, won't you go away?
Go away, go away, yeah

Raise a Glass
There's poison in the water and the irony is priceless
We've been tasting it for years with the sins and the vices
But no one really cared to want to find an antidote
Cause everybody knows that the poison's in the dose
Feeling a little thirsty, want to turn on the tap?
The water looks a little black, ha, imagine that
It's habitat by Hazmat, but nobody gets the gown and cap
The filtered flask, the gas mask, so I'll delegate the next task
We took a trip to where you won't
Some say do but most say don't
For years there's been toxicity with very little publicity
No one cared about our plight
And lead was flying through the night
But then somehow some got in the water
Now you pretend to care about the city's sons and daughters
It's a crime without a criminal, don't blame me I won't blame you
Kinda reminds me when I was a kid and used to play Clue
Ok, we got a mystery, but I think I found the culprit
It's the Governor with the lead pipe in the office
Hey, I solved it
The politicians flock and say don't worry now we're here
You look at 'em like where you been the last fifty years?
It's ok, don't worry, we see you got a problem
Gonna get to the bottom, yep we cause 'em then we solve 'em
And we're gonna leave now, but you really made us think
No, come on, please stay, let me buy you a drink
Raise a glass to disease
Raise a glass to the health
Raise a glass to the means
Raise a glass to the wealth
Raise a glass
We took a trip to where you won't
Raise a glass, here's a toast
Compliments to the host
The poison's in the dose
There's poison in the water and the irony is priceless
We've been tasting it for years with the sins and the vices
But no one really cared to want to find an antidote
Cause everybody knows that the poison's in the dose
Ok, come on now, class is in session
You there in the back, it's time for the lesson
We're gonna talk civics and how to add and subtract
I don't think you'll need a calculator for this math
See if you're living in the city and you give a dose of lead
But instead of in the water you put one through the head
It's a guaranteed life sentence, no parole, no bail
Straight to the prison when you leave the county jail
See on the outside this was ok, it was just the situation
And everyone was provided with the route of administration
But here's the good part where you want to pay attention
You can poison everyone and get away without suspicion
Just throw your hands in the air, pretend to be disheveled
And label it a failure of government on all levels
You prosecute a few just to placate the rest
It's like standing in front of a firing squad with a bulletproof vest
And still the water's flowing and it's so good to see
Cause it's flavored with the failure and the hypocrisy
So I'd like to make a toast, raise 'em up if you got it
And let's thank 'em all for such a lovely product
Raise a glass to disease
Raise a glass to the health
Raise a glass to the means
Raise a glass to the wealth
Raise a glass
We took a trip to where you won't
Raise a glass, here's a toast
Compliments to the host
The poison's in the dose

Still Inside Your Head
Starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to starting to shake
What did you think you were going to see
Last night when you closed your eyes?
Starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to starting to shake
What did you think you were going to bleed
Last night when you looked inside?
And I'm a mile away
On a street that has no name
Call down now to the end of the road
But I don't know why I came
You can close your eyes play dead
I'm still inside your head
There's no use faking
I'm shaking
Starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to starting to shake
What did you think you were going to see
Last night when you closed your eyes?
And I'm a mind astray
On a street that has no way
Call down now to the end of the road
But I can't recall your name
You can close your eyes play dead
I'm still inside your head
There's no use faking
I'm shaking
What's on your mind?
Starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to shake cause I made some mistakes
And I'm starting to starting to shake
You can close your eyes play dead
I'm still inside your head
You can try to disguise, you can hypnotize
You can close your eyes play dead
I'm still inside your head
There's no use faking
I'm shaking

Running
You never really knew all the things that I've been through
I didn't want to scare you so I kept you from the truth
Now you feel like I'm leaving, like I never really came
Couldn't really blame you, guess I would have done the same
You never really knew all the things that I would do
But I wanted to be better cause I want it to be true
Now I'm staring at the reasons that I just can't seem to change
Couldn't take you leaving but I couldn't walk away
I'm running from the reasons
I'm running from the truth
I'm running from the best thing that I never want to lose
Running from the reasons just like running through the rain
Hiding no denying why I'm running away
You never really knew all the love I had for you
I never let you inside but it's not because of you
And I'm sorry for my actions, I'm sorry for my walls
Safer just to do this than to face this kind of fall
I'm running from the reasons
I'm running from the truth
I'm running from the best thing that I never want to lose
Running from the reasons just like running through the rain
Hiding no denying why I'm running away
I can't change
I never really knew all the things I put you through
But I never meant to hurt you, what I never meant to do
And I'm sorry for the mess I've made, I'm sorry for my low
I'm sorry for tomorrow that we'll never really know
