Lyrics:
Sensation, I believe in. Love is loving your frustrations through every rotten thing upon your vine. Vital wines, that arcane science. The source or reality of contagious lying. After all the drunks have gone to bed, it’s someone else’s problem, isn’t it? Why are you wasting time on these little things? I don’t have the patience for anything. Framing up the biggest crooked picture on the wall. I guess it takes that high to fall. Aww, she’s a car accident, look how her thoughts are crushed and bent. I bet her pride could use a drink or two. Isn’t that just the way it goes? You take your eyes off the road, and before too long, you’re inextricably close. After all the drunks have gone to bed, it’s someone else’s problem, isn’t it? Why are you wasting time on these little things? I don’t have the patience for anything. Framing up the biggest crooked picture on the wall. I guess it takes that high to fall. They may take what you worked hard to earn, and destroy everything you know, and make you feel like a fool. They’ll make you feel so…lower yourself you will not do. You’re never giving up, you’ve made some big mistakes, but there’s a lot more to life than this…is not someone else’s problem, it’s your own. This is your problem, isn’t it? Why are you wasting time on these little things? I don’t have the patience for anything. Framing up the biggest crooked picture on the wall. I guess it takes that high to fall.

Nobody's Going Home

Lyrics:
Do you ever feel that wherever you are affects you like a natural disaster? Well, if so, I’m an earthquake. Or maybe I’m a mudslide, or a fire. Maybe I’m just a bird on a wire watching everything go down. Watch it all go down. But I don’t even like it here, and everybody likes it here. Does that make me weird? ‘Cause I don’t even like it here. Everybody loves the dream. Everybody…and nobody’s going home. Do you ever feel that wherever you are should just fall into the ocean? But everyone escapes just in time. I guess, in a way, we’d all be casualties. We could start again someplace where it’s nice and friendly. But this is not the movies. But I don’t even like it here, and everybody likes it here, does that make me weird? ‘Cause I don’t even like it here. Everybody loves the dream. Everybody…and nobody’s going home. Everybody. Everybody loves the dream, and nobody’s going home.

Lyrics:
Darlin’ please don’t lock me up, I know we’re playin’ for keeps, and the last time that you said these words, I knew I had to leave. And you break my heart at every glance, I swear I will not try. Only this time it’s just getting worse, I think I saw you cry. And every time I see you, I swear it’s for the best. And every time I leave you, you’re asking for the rest. So hold on tight my darlin’, ‘cause tonight I get no rest. Without you I am empty, without you, I’m just a mess. But tonight, I’m leaving. Tonight, I’m leaving you. Darlin’ please pick up the phone, I’m yellin’ for God’s sake. And the dent I kicked into your door, I think it broke my toe. And the people walking by my car, they think I’ve gone insane. Only this time it’s just getting worse, I think it’s gonna rain. And every time I see you, I swear it’s for the best. And every time I leave you, you’re asking for the rest. So hold on tight my darlin’, ‘cause tonight I get no rest. Without you I am empty, without you, I’m just a mess. But tonight I’m leaving. Tonight, I’m leaving you. It didn’t matter to you. It didn’t matter anyway. I said all that I’ve gotta say. It didn’t matter anyway. So hold on tight my darlin’, ‘cause tonight I get no rest. Without you I am empty, without you, I’m just a mess. But tonight, I’m leaving. Tonight, I’m leaving you.

Lyrics:
Don’t take me while I’m young, or just do it quickly. Don’t take the times when people cared and put them into some facility. Someplace so clinically clean, so hospital clean this place, where waste is turned to water, and I’m recycled and forgotten. I will fight you until I am no more. There’s a fire. Dear God, if there is one, please don’t kill me while I’m still young. Please don’t confine me. Don’t make me pretend to try. On the elevator, I put the ground far behind me, you put the ground far behind you, and remembered. Someday you’ll understand. Someday. I won’t pretend I care, so just do it quickly. You’re wearing me down like a battery until I’m brainwashed and sickly. If I can’t fight you, I’ll join you. Yeah, I like nice things too. Might put my soul in the garbage, and I’ll be just like you. I will fight you until I am no more. There’s a fire. Dear God, if there is one, please don’t kill me while I’m still young. Please don’t confine me. Don’t make me pretend to try. On the elevator, I put the ground far behind me, you put the ground far behind you, and remembered. On the elevator, you put the ground far behind you, I put the ground far behind me, and remembered.

Lyrics:
Never look back at who you were, it’s who you’ve become. With all of the features they prefer, right down to the lipstick. So when was your final farewell, a decision you made on your own? If feelings were static and bodies were plastic, we’d still be getting along. Was it hard for you to turn into what you hate? I see your face in the crowd, along with everyone else trying to forget a lifetime of regret. Will all of the new friends that you made still be around whenever you wake up from this dream? Or is it a nightmare? So when was a change of friendship worth everything you’ve ever known? If feelings were static and bodies were plastic, we’d still be getting along. Was it hard for you to turn into what you hate? I see your face in the crowd, along with everyone else, trying to forget a lifetime of regret. Now I see your face in the crowd, alone like everyone else, trying to fake a smile that never breaks. Now I see you face in the crowd, along with everyone else, trying to forget a lifetime of regret. Now I see your face in the crowd, along with everyone else trying to fake a smile that never breaks. Was it hard for you to turn into what you hate?

We Are Electric

Lyrics:
All she does is sing songs about the boys who broke her heart. And all he does is think about the man that he did not become. And all they do is pass commercialism off for art. And all they do is try to stop your world before it starts. And we pretend that we care. We pretend. We are more than machinery. We are electric, floating in sparks and conductivity. We are electric. All she does is wake up each morning and watch the news. And all he does is daydream about another life that he could choose. We are electric. We are more than machinery. We are electric, floating in sparks and conductivity. We are electric. We are electric.
