Cynical

Maybe my brain is not as dark as you think it was
Maybe I am just cynical, maybe that's not bad, it's not bad at all
Maybe my head ain't alive or dead at all
Maybe it's somewhere in between, where I don't have to think about anything
Maybe my heart ain't the work of art that you said it was
Maybe I am just body parts made to die and rot and feed other organisms

Getting high and getting into the Cure
A whole lot of shit we should do but we're not really sure
If we're living it right, if we're really alive
I've gotta find myself before I go out tonight
Getting older but we're not growing up
"Oh my God," everybody here is just so fucked up
I am sick of getting wasted and dumb
I wanna get over this, I wanna grow up
I'm living a lie, saying I don't really care
I just wanna relax, pretend that I'm not really there
Getting drunk and now we're dancing around
Everyone laughs like we are all fucking clowns
We don't wanna die, but we're not really here
Maybe death's the only thing that we don't have to fear
And I'm not ever gonna die

Oh my God, what are we doing here?
I've got a lot of things to say but I can't make them clear
I just want to be at home alone with you
But instead we're on the telephone, talking of all of the things we'd do
I'm a ship sailing out to sea
But I've lost all of my sails and now my rutter's floating free
Could you be my crazy captain for a while?
We could go on forever 'cause this trip is finally gaining some miles
Come down
Stay with me
We won't be lonely anymore
Come down
Stay with me
We won't be lonely like before
Oh my God, what are we doing here?
Because it feels like I am dreaming, will I wake up and realize that you're not near?
So I pinch myself awake
And call you and realize that this is better than any dream I'd make

Tasted Wasted

I've been moving for the longest of times
I haven't done that much, I just need to rest my mind
So I call and we talk about the stars
I stopped smoking cigarettes, I stopped crashing my car
Wasted, oh my God
One more night like this again
Wasted, oh my God
Come with me and we'll go find a place
Where we won't answer to no one, we can just go fly away
To the mountains where we'll be free and wild
We will never have to grow up, we won't have to lose our smiles
Wasted, oh my God
One more night like this again
Wasted, oh my God
It has happened
It is happening again
Amen

Big One

I've got a big one, he bit me on the mouth
Inside his old cage, he took the boy right out
It's something freakish, it's something animal
The keeper locked in, he's given all control
But now it's no remorse
God's stepping off her higher horse
And coming down for tea
I'm deep inside of me
And I'm a big one
I've got a bad one, she's such a separate mind
I try to hold her, she comes out all the time
Now it's not going back
God's stepping down to lend her back
And take me out for drinks
It's a wicked kind of thing
But I'm a big one
I've got a big one, she's eating off my face
And as she's gnawing, the blood pours out my veins
I watch the TV just like everyone
And she comes on out when that big man comes on
And the screen goes black
Where is God to lend her back?
She's skipping out on tea
It's a wicked kind of thing
But I'm a big one

Spaceboy

The stars don't look so different, but they lead to where you are
I fell in love with Spaceboy and Spaceboy stole my heart
And I used to be indifferent, but those were different times
I've been moved and I've been changed and I've started to cry
Oh my God, look at the sky and find me there
Spaceboy put on his space boots and stepped inside his ship
He was flying over Atlanta, when his rocket it got hit
And he met me on the driveway and hugged me from behind
And ever since that day Spaceboy hasn't left my mind
Oh my God, look at the sky and find me there
After a short while, Spaceboy put me in a chair
He said, “Do you want to see everything?” I told him, “Take me there.”
So we flew out in his rocket through the whole damn galaxy
And I fell in love with Spaceboy and he fell in love with me
Oh my God, look at the stars and find me there
And we crashed inside that spaceship on Planet 39
The outside got so beat up, but on the inside we were fine
And I promised dear old Spaceboy that I'd love him no matter what
There wasn't any kind of changing that could hurt that kind of love
Oh my God, look at the sky and find him there
The stars don't look so different, ‘cause they lead to where you are
I fell in love with Spaceboy, and Spaceboy stole my heart
And I used to be indifferent, but those were different times
I fell in love with Spaceboy, I am his and he is mine
Oh my God, look at the stars and find us there

I'm scared to death of losing you
Not for anything real, it's just the thing that I do
My anxiety's got the best of me today
I'm scared to death that you're gonna change
Really drastically, not the natural way
And it's fine, like I said, I'm sure it's not gonna happen at all
I'm scared to death that I'm just a bore
That one day you'll realize that you want something more
"It's okay," you said, "That's not gonna happen to me"
But I see it so clear, since I can't come to you
That you will decide that this thing you can't do
And I'm scared to death of when that day might arrive
