I'm Gone 03:55
Burn this … burn this. I won’t feel it. I’m sorry if you think I Earned this. If I could I’d burn this, Like acid smoke to the sky. But it’s all up in me and I’m GONE. You can hardly feel it. Gone … you can hardly feel it. Time is blind. It wrecks my mind and Makes me feel so useless. All inside is wrong, and I’m in A state of half existence. And half of nothing’s nothing. I’m GONE. You can hardly feel it. Gone … you can hardly feel it. She said, “I want to hold on to this.” She said, “I’ve lost touch with what this is.” She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said, “Where are you?” (Burn this) She said... I’m gone. You can hardly feel it. Gone. You can hardly feel it. I’m gone. You can hardly feel it. Gone. You can hardly feel it. You can hardly feel it.

You really scared me there for a second. I took a breath and lost it for a second. You had me going. You had me going. I thought that maybe… "You and I" was just about to die. The world jumped by. I thought I’d lose it. I thought I’d lose it. I shook with every word that you said. All the things that we say need to be said. They mean nothing. No, nothing. When every morning… You and I were just about to die. The world jumped by. I thought we’d lose it. I thought we’d lose it. Goddammit, don’t you ever do that again! This is our life, every second. Our only life, every second. I hope you want it. You better want it. ‘Cause every moment. You and I are just about to die. The world jumps by. We’re gonna lose it. We’re gonna lose it. You and I are just about to die. The world jumps by. We’re gonna lose it. We’re gonna lose it. We’re gonna lose it. Ooh….

Stop It! 02:34
I got an invitation to your pity party. I had to go because I care, I really do. Is it an invasion of your precious space to say I like you? But I wish that you would Stop it! Stop it! See now you’ve gone and done it. It took me some time to get perspective, and now you made me lose it. I’m all out of patience. And that is why you’ve got to Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Why all the time do you cry, bitch & whine When I try, oh I try, yeah I try, I really try? (Stop it) Step on back. Don't say a word. Step on back. Shut the fuck up! (Stop it) I feel it coming … so step off! Been working so hard to identify the source of my aggression, And I’m getting there, but right now I don’t think that I can Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Oh there you go again, choking my inspiration. If you could just tune out your brain, I'll take you to a place where there's no hesitation, And you don't have to be afraid. 'Cause if it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. We can never foresee.... Oh what's a boy to do when his girl won't come out to play? If you would only drop the game, I'll take you to a place where love is all around you, And you will never be the same. 'Cause if it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. Yeah if it feels all right, we can go all night. Baby, all you need is me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. Yeah if it feels all right, we can go all night. Baby, all you need is me. If it feels all right to you, all right, then it feels all right to me. We can never foresee.... If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right… If it feels all right…

Gold 04:01
I had a chance. I had a chance to take you to my soul. I had a chance. I had a chance. I took it. Now it’s gold. Oh, it tingles in my fingers and in my toes. Oh, the jingles I would sing if you could be sold. Like gold. It’s gold. I had a chance. I had a chance to fill in every hole. I had a chance. I had a chance. I took it. Now it’s gold. Oh, it tingles in my fingers and in my toes. Oh, the jingles I would sing if you could be sold. Like gold. It’s gold. I had a chance. I had a chance. My heart as black as coal. I had a chance. I had a chance. I took it. Now it’s gold. Oh, it tingles in my fingers and in my toes. Oh, the jingles I would sing if you could be sold. Oh, it tingles in my fingers and in my toes. Like gold. Like gold. Like gold. Like gold. Like gold. It’s gold.

Mine Alone 04:08
There is a song I sing, and it’s mine alone. The only song I sing to no one. There is a song I sing, and it’s mine alone. The only song I sing to no one. There is a song I sing, that you’ll never know. The only song I sing, and it’s mine alone. There is a song I sing to make time move slow. The only song that you’ll never know. And it’s mine alone. And it’s always on in my little heart. And as times moves on, it’s the only part That will never grow old. And it’s mine alone. There is a song I sing, when I’m ready to quit. The only song I sing, when the pieces don’t fit. There is a song I sing when I’m low low. The only song I sing that let’s the world go. And it’s mine alone. This song will die with me. This song will stay alive in me. This song will keep reminding me to never count the times I breathe. This song will die with me. This song will keep reminding me. This song will keep reminding me, reminding me, reminding me. And it’s on … And it’s on … And it’s always on in my little heart. And as times moves on, it’s the only part That will never grow old. And it’s mine alone. And it’s mine alone. And it's mine alone. And it's mine!

Some things happen. Some things happen. You can get on your knees and pray, yeah, but some things happen. Some things happen. Some things happen. You can stay in your head all day, but some things happen. This is not – the change you're hoping for. This is not – your long lost love. This is not – the hot new miracle. This is, this is, this is IT. And some things happen. Some things just occur. My mamma used to say that there’s always a way, but I just stopped listening to her. And I know you see yourself in everything I say and do. Well hate to burst your bubble, love: you are not the unnamed you. And this is not – a balanced argument. This is not – an old old friend. This is not – a full ride scholarship. This is not – a happy end. This is not – your affirmation call. This is not – a self-help club. This is not – your mom’s denial song. This is, this is, this is, this is, the TRUTH. This is not your daughter’s fairy tale. Some things happen. Life goes wrong. Blackout babies will go away as soon as the lights turn on. Blackout babies die as soon as the lights – turn – on. You are NOT the unnamed you, in anything I say or do.

I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. So you are really happy. You think you’ve discovered something: Hey, you don’t really need me. Is that what you say? So there’s a million like me in every state and cunt-ery. It’s easy to delete me. Is that what you say? I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. So you just need to be free to follow your own trajectory. And this is not about me. Is that what you say? Oh, and it don’t mean shit if you're running away. Oh, I can rock your shit if I’m having a bad day. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. Oh, and it don’t mean shit if I’m having a bad day. Oh, you can try to quit but you’re not getting away. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. I got love. I got love. I got a beautiful love. I want you to love love, to love my beautiful love. ‘Cause I got love. I got love. I got a……. And you know that you want it. And you know that you need it. And you know that you need it. And you know that you want it want it want it want it Want it want it 1 2 3 4 !!

Fall 03:12
In time there is a crush that grows. It’s something everybody knows. It’s on you. Can’t you feel it now, Pushing you? And you don’t know how, But you wanna lose it all. All you have to do is fall. You find the break and you fall. You’re wide awake and you fall. Yeah, you don’t feel the earth at all. There’s nothing new for you to see. More of the same old misery And you can never let it go. Better than the devil you don’t know. But it’s not like that at all. All you have to do is fall. You just lean forward and fall. Take one step over and fall. Yeah, you won’t fear the hurt at all. The face you fake, the walls you raise, will crumble into you And all you say you sent away will never disappear until you fall. You just let go and you fall. You just let go and you fall.

Break You 03:52
There’s something I wanted to tell you, That I don’t know how to say, So I’ll only speak when I’m spoken to. Oh, what do I have to do So I won’t break you? I’ll whisper into the pillow, Cover my mouth with black tape, Tie up my hands with a rope or two. Oh, what do I have to do So I won’t break you? Oh, it’s silly To even have to say, But I’m thinking, really, You’d be better off running away. Or I can just throw away all my frustration, Bury my anger & rage, Toss out the clubs, knives & ammo too. Oh, I’ll do what I have to do So I won’t break … You…. You…. You…. You…. You…. You…. You…. You…. Oh… Oh… Oh… Oh…

Before all of this happened, I was the captain there in your soul. Now that we’re back together, I know the weather has taken its toll. I’m in the spaces between. If you know what I mean, maybe you won’t be scared to explore. Oh, but if that’s too upsetting, don’t go forgetting there’s always an open door. And it’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. Oh, if you still can believe me, there is a party waiting for you. A party here in my psyche…. If you still like me, come on through. And it’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like… And we are stronger than we’ve ever been. And we are stronger than we’ve ever been. And we are stronger than we’ve ever been. And we are stronger than we’ve ever been. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like this.

Don't be afraid of me. I'll show you how good I can be ... If you just come a little closer. Come a little closer. I'll make you safe in spite of me. I'll give you everything you need ... If you just come a little closer. Come a little closer. I'm not as sick as I seem to be. There's a SCARED BOY inside of me Who loves it when you kick and scream. But I will tie him up for you ... If you just come a little closer. Come a little closer. If you just come a little closer. Come a little closer. No, closer ...
