HOUDINI CRUSH • • SPLIT LIKE A LIP, NO BLOOD ON THE BEARD
YOU SAY YOU'RE DEAD AND GONE AND YOU'RE MOVING ON
BEYOND THE REGULAR RECTANGULAR
FORCED IN BURGEONING COME CLOSING IN
BUT STILL A SERIOUS EXPERIENCE
YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT
IT WAS A WEAPON YOU COULD USE
TO GET THROUGH ALL THE THREADS IN SIGHT
HOW YOU GONNA WAVE HELLO OR GOODBYE WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE TIED?
HOW YOU GONNA WAVE HELLO OR GOODBYE WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE TIED?
HOW YOU GONNA WAVE WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE TIED
TO THE END OF THE THREADS INSIDE
HICCUP •
SOMEONE WENT AND HANDLED HER WITH TOO TIGHT A GRIP
TRYING TO MAKE THE MESS OF THEIR OLD WOOD GLUE STICK
SEEMS LIKE THE PRESSURE BROUGHT HER WEIGHT DOWN
SPITTING ALL THE PULP FROM HER SQUEEZED OUT LITTLE LIME
I BELONG ON MY OWN
I'M THE SUM NOT A PART NOT THE WHEEL ON A CART
NOT A LINK IN A CHAIN NOT A SEAT ON A TRAIN
I'M MY OWN RIDE
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH ME (SHE SAYS)
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU STEP TO ME
GET CLOSE AND I MIGHT APPEAR CLEAR ENOUGH TO GET A GOOD SENSE
TOO CLOSE IS ENOUGH TO PULL YOU UNDER
IN A FORCE OF FALSE PRETENSE
ALL THE WHILE YOU HAD BIGGER BEAMS ON YOUR MIND
RUNNING ALL AROUND AGAIN WITH YOUR HEAD CUT OFF
YOU LIKED HER JUST FINE - SHE'S A NICE GIRL - BUT NEVERMIND!
WOULDN'T WANNA BE ANY OTHER WAY OUTSIDE THESE WALLS
I BELONG ON MY OWN
I'M THE SUM NOT A PART NOT THE WHEEL ON A CART
NOT A LINK IN A CHAIN NOT A SEAT ON A TRAIN
I BELONG ON MY OWN
I'M THE SUM NOT A PART NOT THE WHEEL ON A CART
NOT A LINK IN A CHAIN NOT A SEAT ON A TRAIN
I BELONG ON MY OWN
NOT A PIECE OF A PIE NOT A PIT IN A PEACH
NOT A FIX IN A PINCH I'M MY OWN RIDE
I NEVER KNOW JUST WHEN IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
I NEVER NOTICE
WANNA BE A GOOD GIRL STICK TO DESTINATION
KINDA MAKES YOU CRAZY PUTTING OUT YOUR BEST FOOT
MAMA PUT YOUR BAD SELF ON THE EARLY BUS BACK
IT'S A LONESOME STREET AND IT STILL HAUNTS SOME
PUTTING ON A TOUGH SHOW UNDERNEATH YOUR BELLY
WHEN YOUR THOUGHTS TAUNT YOU BUT THEY'LL NEVER STOP YOU
PUTTING ON A TOUGH SHELL HEAVEN KNOWS THE BEST THING
THE WORLD WILL SURROUND YOU BUT IT'LL NEVER CATCH YOU
AH HA! BROUGHT YOU DOWN AGAIN
AH HA! BROUGHT WITH THE BEST DOWN
I CAN SEE THE TENSION FULL OF FRUSTRATE
BE FORCED TO RENOVATE FOR THE SAKE OF FATE
DEPENDING ON THE SUNSHINE DEPENDING ON THE RAIN
DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER TO KEEP YOU STRANGE
WELL YOU KNOW YOU'RE BETTER
YOU KNOW KNOW YOU'RE BETTER • CYCLOPEAN
THAN TO BE BROUGHT WITH THE BEST DOWN
AH HA! BROUGHT YOU DOWN AGAIN GOTTA DIG A HOLE RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE EPICENTER
AH HA! BROUGHT WITH THE BEST DOWN STEP UP TO THE GARDEN GATE AND LET MYSELF IN
GOTTA DIG A HOLE RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE EPICENTER
MARCH OUT TO THE FURTHEST EMPTY PLOT AND BEGIN
DIG A DITCH IN INCHES DEEP BY THE METER
IN THE COMPANY OF FISH • GONNA
AS BIG AS IT NEEDS TO BE TO CAPTURE THE SUN
SHOVEL BIT BY BIT TO THE BOTTOM OF IT
TELL THE GUESTS GOODNIGHT GONNA
BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS WHEN UP HERE WAS FUN
BUT I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO GET
IN
THE
OPEN I GET LOST
THANK THEM FOR COMING
LIKE BEING UNDERGROUND
SAVE THE REST FOR NEXT TIME IF THERE IS ONE SEEMS
BETTER
THAN DROWNING IN QUICKSAND
SHOW THEM TO THE DOOR
RID OF OLD NEWS - I WON'T READ IT
THANK GOD THEY'RE LEAVING GET
RID OF LOOSE TIES AND THEIR NEEDY GREED
DON'T FORGET YOUR THINGS GET
OF LOVE HUNGRY REALITY

YOU KNOW YOU GOT THE BEST OF BOTH THE HEAD AND THE TAIL
• CONTORTION IN TRAINING
GENERAL DOME • FARE UP IT'S A GOOD THING
GIVE UP GUILTY PAST TIME
TEAR UP PLEASURE FOR THE SKIN
FARE UP FOR THE LAST TIME
REMEMBER THE BOYS THEIR ICE CREAM AND NOISE
REMEMBER THE STING FOR COMPARISON
TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE THE RULES AS THEY BREAK
THE CUES YOU'RE GIVEN ARE ALL FLOODING IN
TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE'S NEEDS
WON'T BE MUCH FUN WHEN I'M THE ONLY ONE
BEND BENDING BACK
THERE'S NO JOY IN AN UN OPEN
FARE UP IT'S A GOOD THING
GIVE UP GUILTY PAST TIME
TEAR UP PLEASURE FOR THE SKIN
FARE UP FOR THE LAST TIME
REMEMBER THE BOYS THEIR ICE CREAM AND NOISE
REMEMBER THE STING FOR COMPARISON TO THE REST OF THEM
TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE'S NEEDS
WON'T BE MUCH FUN WHEN I'M THE ONLY ONE
BEND BENDING BACK
BENDING JUST TO SEE EVERYTHING BUT ME
RIGHT-SIDE-UP FOR ONCE
HARDTIMES • BENDING BENDING BACK
I CARRY A CREST OF WEIGHT
CHEST DENSE WITH GENERAL DOOM
I AWOKE TO FIND
THIS AS MY VITAL STATE
TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE
I CHOSE THE SOUL OF A MAN
AND I'M NOT THE LAST PAWN
WITH A GUN
I AM A FORCE TO BE DECREED
BROKEN FROM ALL THAT ONCE ENRAPTURED ME
BLIND ASSASSINS FROM BEFORE
BECOME FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF THE POOR FOUNDATION
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY THEY KNOW
THE SEVERAL SIGNS OF SOLUTION
THOSE WHO CLAIM THIS HARD THEY PREY
THEY TALK TOO MUCH AND SELDOM TRY
I WILL BE THE LAST ONE TO DENY REAL PROOF
WITH A GUN
DIGGING BENEATH MY FINGERNAILS AND FINDING DIRTY EVIDENCE
OF SCRATCHING TO SATISFACTION ALL MY HEALING EPIDERMIS
LUCKY FOR ME I'VE GOT VITAMIN E
THAT MIGHT STOP THESE SCARS FROM OVERTAKING MY ENTIRE BODY
TEMPTED TO PEEL AWAY THE PART OF YOU THAT HAS IDEALS
SEEMS SUCH A SHAME TO LOSE THE HIGHER HOPES OF CORPOREAL
IF I COULD OPEN WIDE MY INNER SIDES
EXPOSE THE FLESH AND SHOW WHAT BEING OPEN REALLY LOOKS LIKE
MUCH AS I CAN AS MUCH AS I COULD
MUCH AS I SHOULD MUCH MORE THAN I DO
I COULD PULL TOGETHER
MUCH AS I CAN AS MUCH AS I COULD
MUCH AS I SHOULD MUCH MORE THAN I DO
I COULD PULL TOGETHER
GIVEN SUCH A HARDTIME
I KNOW THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE GIVEN SUCH A HARD TIME
THAT I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY
ALREADY SUCH AS IT COULD BE EASY
GIVEN SUCH A HARDTIME
DIGGING BENEATH YOUR FINGERNAILS AND FINDING DIRTY EVIDENCE
OF SCRATCHING TO SATISFACTION ALL THE HEALING EPIDERMIS
UNTIL I CAN REDEFINE WHAT HOLDS US ON
EVEN THE SOFTEST TOUCH WON'T DO MUCH
MUCH AS I CAN AS MUCH AS I COULD
MUCH AS I SHOULD MUCH MORE THAN I DO
I COULD PULL TOGETHER
TWISTING THE LASSO OF TRUTH •
FITE GODDAMNIT STAND UP AND FITE
GIVE ME YOUR REASONS ASIDE FROM YOUR FATIGUE
FROM BEING BUSY ALL DAY WITH SLIPPING PAST THE COMPETITION
GIVE ME YOUR REASONS ASIDE FROM YOUR FATIGUE
FROM BEING BUSY WITH THE GIRL SCOUTS
AND SAVING THE WHALES ONLINE
FIGHT GODDAMNIT STAND UP AND FIGHT
MAYBE YOU'RE TENSIONED
TIGHTER THAN BROOKLYN BRIDGES' PIGTAILS AND PULLSTRAPS
TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
MAYBE YOU'RE WAITING FOR INSTRUCTION
I THINK YOU'RE JEALOUS
OF ALL THE OTHERS WHO AFFORD TO BEHAVE THEIR TAILS IN TIME
FIGHT GODDAMNIT STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR ME
• MY BEST ANDRE SHOT
ALL YOU CAN STAND TO BE WRESTLED TO THE GROUND
TALL IN DEMAND OF THE LESSONS THAT ABOUND ON THE GROUND

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH THE MESSAGE ON YOUR OWN
