Matt Wixon wrote the original of this, you should check him out. He's rad! Anyway… My people should be your demise cause if the world was right your house would be a parking lot and I don't care whats fucking right as long as it's my side because we can do no wrong But you're half a world away and I'm sure that you have your reasons and I'd hate to commit treason to my love logic and reason and they'll call be a coward and a traitor and a poseur but I still won't find any hate for you Cause I'm not crazy I'm not crazy I'm not crazy I'm not crazy so much for you I'm not crazy I'm not crazy I'm not crazy I'm not crazy Can't say so much about you Oh how the heathens they conspire against the holy truth that is me and you with their sharp teeth and yellow flesh they'll tear us all to bits if we don't take em out soon But I know I am my very own and I know just what it is I should condone and I can see sometimes the only victim it isn't me and they'll tell me I'm wrong but I know I'm not crazy no I'm not yeah all your hate wont make this stop you've gotta find a better way to feel when one falls down you pick em up if you can't trust em' try your luck you might just make this a better world you might just find you might just find Filed under; Let's hang out

Here I am sitting all alone with the dog watching MSNBC reading time magazine looking at life thinking about things and how they'll never change and you'll sit around and smoke a lot I'd take a ride my bike is shot I'm learning something no I'm not there's 40 grand to watch the clock if look at him is what you say I'll turn around and run cause I'm a stranger in my own damn mouth I spent my whole life staring at the ceiling waiting for someone to call nobody ever calls I'm handicapped for life you see not living that life of fantasy and thats all I'll ever know some of us have nowhere else to go Here I am sitting in this room I don't know what the deal is do you I could use some information open source the situation let it all out into a world where nothing is safe HEY HEY HEY Instead I'll wait in static state for age to bring me what a day where everything falls into place now everything is fucking great! I grow in only one dimension thats just fact cause I'm a coward in a brave new world The voice in my head drowns out my ears it's the same same same same every year whats new, nothings new somethings gotta be new I'm freaking out while you drink your beer I'm never gonna know what to say to you.

I'll write a song in the key of B flat for you since that's all I can seem to do with the same damn words and progessions too since thats all I can seem to use this songs already been sung before so many goddamn times these aren't my chords and you can bet your ass these aren't my lines because everything I do as already been done before and everything I say has already been sung before by people much more talented than me by people that I'll never get to be so take me away to a place where I won't sing no more lock me away in a place where I can't hear no more things I can never write myself sounds I can never make myself I don't really care now about the songs that you can't hear because they're there and I know and I always will till the day death takes my ears you'll say that it's not that big of a deal that no one can even tell but plagiarism isn't what I had in mind when I set this ship to sail I've been here before and every time it's jus the same and I can't even tell if I've moved forward at all so don't just let me be singing songs that I don't wanna sing now this pencils getting heavy I don't know if I can hold it anymore I'm no great visionary, I'm just a stealing fucking whore If I ever find my way I'll bring it back to yeah it's just a lame excuse for everything you got me through Because all i ever wanted was to be grater than the sheep around me but if I give up right now will I ever even be something or will I just stare at my screen, thinking of the fucking should bees going to shows with all my heros knowing that I'll never be like them but like I fucking said. I just wanted to be something no lies and no hypocrisy but I've stumbled into a hole that I can't seem to get out of Filed under; Writing is hard, I'm not very good at it
