We leave in the morning, I know you're gonna be there
We still aren't speaking and it feels like such a shame,
But despite your unfaltering apathy that's aimed at me
I can't help the feeling that it's going to be a good day
So I start the day feeling not a bad emotion
I don't even feel bad that I don't even feel bad
And I could say sorry, I know you'd enjoy the notion
But at the end of the day you're still gonna be mad
And I don't care that you don't care that I don't care
And believe me, I so wish that I could
But right now the sun is burning through the atmosphere and even you can't stop the day from being good today, so
Fake a winning golden globe smile
And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while
And for the sake of everyone around, you keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue
And I'll keep this up until I'm completely over you
'cause I think it's impossible to just be cool
I love you or hate you, there's nothing in between with me
You and I never can be friends as a rule
So I pull your hair feeling not a bad emotion
I don't even feel bad that I don't even feel bad
And I could say sorry, I know you'd enjoy the notion
But at the end of the day you're still gonna be mad
And I don't care that you don't care that I don't care
And believe me, I so wish that I could
But right now the sun is burning through the atmosphere and even you can't stop the day from being good today, so
Fake a winning golden globe smile
And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while
And for the sake of everyone around you, keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue
All of this time and I haven't said a word
I kept my back bent and my head down
It was all about you, never anything new
I can't believe how long that I was bound to have you around
And can you do me the favor of keeping this between you and me?
You and I have, shall we say, "a colorful past"
The next chance we get, I swear to you we'll talk it through,
The last thing I want to do is make this last, and
Fake a winning golden globe smile
And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while
And for the sake of everyone around you, keep the feelings that surround you buried under your tongue
Fake at least a skeleton's smile
And pretend like you don't want to ruin me for a while
And wake up, I don't want to date you, 'cause I swear to God I hate you, you were never any fun

Liar

Take me to bed or maybe
take me to bedlam
Who ever thought it'd be
So tough to hang tough?
I've got a fever
My head is on fire
Maybe none of that's true
And I just don't want to get up
Take me aside
Or maybe to the asylum
Can I still call it crazy
if I know that it's wrong?
And if I do it again
But then immediately rescind
Am I still bound to spend
My life here, however long?
I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't
Know which ones I said to who
Born of the flame but then burned by the fire
We were doomed from the start,
Maybe I don't want to be liar
And I take nobody's word
Because from all that I've heard
Nobody keeps it real long or holds it high anyway
But if you tell me your side
Then I'll decide for myself
The truth is somewhere between
Whatever you and I say
I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't
Know which ones I told to who
Born of the flame but then burned by the fire
We were doomed from the start
Maybe I don't want to be liar
Only a pig thinks that everyone's filth
And only a dog thinks that everyone bites
And only a thief thinks that everyone steals
And only a liar thinks that everyone lies
And only your best friend can swear it's the truth
Holding your hand looking dead in your eyes
And only a fool will believe every word
And only a liar thinks that everyone lies
I've holed myself up in so many words that I don't know which ones I said to who
And after so long without saying a word, I don't think I can tell you the truth
I've done it before and I'll do it again, but I suspect that you already knew
Adam and Eve can't have known the entire
World was doomed from the start, maybe I don't want to be a liar

You're the face that sunk a thousand ships
With sarcastic little quips,
Your devils sense of humor somehow gave me a large tumor on my face
You're the girl that guided me from hell
Beatrice with Pavlov's bell,
Salivating like a dog, i will be yours and before long you'll be my girl
But now that you mention it, Let's get back to the question
Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous
I know it's strange to think about, and don't give me to harsh a judgement
But I think I like it
But now that you mention it, Let's get back to the question
Why do I try?
(Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous)
Quite simple that the answer is your love can be quite cancerous
(I know it's strange to think about, and don't give me to harsh a judgement)
But I think I like it

They wrote a story about us a long time ago
It's out of print but you might still find it in an old store
It's gonna cost you a few petty dollars 'cause it's rare
And the library doesn't carry it anymore
I heard a song on the radio I hadn't heard before
I only caught the end coming home from work this afternoon
It was an oldie but a goodie and it had a familiar choice of words
And it was about me and you
But Solomon, whoa-oh-whoa, did you really say that?
Or is it only something you read somewhere?
The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say
So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets
So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore
The world's heard everything twice
So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before
There's nothing new
Under the sun
The ugly truth
Is still a smoking gun
And what a grandiose but humble piece of theatre we live
It's entertaining but a bit longwinded for most
I'll just keep passive-aggressively torturing her
I'm neither ready nor willing to give up the ghost
Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that?
Or is it only something you read somewhere?
The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say
So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets
So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore
The world's heard everything, everything twice
So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before
There's nothing new
(An easy lesson, but much deeper rooted than that)
Under the sun
(I can't forgive that two timing son of a gun)
The ugly truth
(she meant the world to me, she meant the world to me)
Is still a smoking gun
(but then again she meant the world to everyone)
Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that?
Or is it only something you read somewhere?
Because if that's the case, then I dare you to say it again with your own paper and ink
But you can't, can you now? The funny thing isn't how
You're not original, it's that you can't be
Because it's all been said before, even I'd be hardpressed to ignore
All the things that are right in front of me
There's nothing new
Under the sun
The ugly truth
Is still a smoking gun
Whao-oh-whao, did you really say that?
Or is it only something you read somewhere?
The world's exhausted itself twice over of original things to say
So put your money on the bad songs and unoriginal poets
So much for original thinking, 'cause thinking's a bore
The world's heard everything, everything twice
So you can hardly blame me if you've heard this before
There's nothing new
Under the sun
The ugly truth
Is still a smoking gun
An easy lesson, but much deeper rooted than that
I can't forgive that two timing son of a gun
She meant the world to me, she meant the world to me
But then again she meant the world to everyone

Chapter 21

I couldn't tell you why I act this way
some rotten part of me deep inside
Tells me to start fights, 'cause art means suffering
And if it isn't hurting, it isn't justified
I never told you what you meant to me,
Least not in a way you'd ever understand.
I made it hard for you, 'cause it was hard for me
It was never hard, though, still, to hold your hand.
You meant everything
Now that it's over, you don't have much to say
Time takes it's toll, but it heals all wounds
So what does that mean? Does it get better or worse with age?
Will I ever find a heart to crawl into?
You were the start and end of each and every day
And I wouldn't have slept if you hadn't talked me through
I've messed up a lot of things in all my lonesome life
What a fool I was, though, to have messed up you
Oh, You meant everything
We haven't talked in months but every part of me
Is still devoted to every part of you
I thought you left because you never once loved me
But after all this time I know that isn't true
I made you feel so guilty
About everything you'd say
I think the best thing I could do for you, now, is go away
Movies you didn't like and
Songs that I couldn't sing
If I could have that back again, I would give anything
You meant everything
