I′d be lying if I said I was completely unscathed I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation Would I be letting you win my non reaction? How would I explain How would I explain this to my children if I had them? Because I can′t not Because I can′t not Because I can′t afford to be misread one more time Would I be whining if I said I needed a hug? Would you feel slighted if I said your love′s not enough? How can I complain? How can I complain when I′m the one who reaches for it? Because I can′t not Because I can′t not Because I cannot walk without my crutches Because I can′t not Because I can′t not Because I can′t help wonder why you ask me To all the unheard wisdom in the school yard You think you′re the right ones You think you′re the charmed ones I′m sure How can you go on with such conviction? And who do you think you are why do you question me? Because we can′t not Because we can′t not Because we can′t help laugh at underestimations Because we can′t not Because we can′t not Because we can′t afford to be misled one more time Because we can′t not Because we can′t not Because we cannot help without your willingness Why do you affect me? why do you affect me still? Why do you hinder me? why do you hinder me still? Why do you unnerve me? why do you unnerve me still? Why do you trigger me? why do you trigger me still?
know there′s a reason you′re forcing a smile You hide what you′re feeling and you have for a while I can tell that you′re falling And you feel that you can′t go on But a new day is calling And you′ll see that the feeling is gone
CHORUS: You know you′re not the only one Who has a lot to overcome And when the time has come then you move on ′Cause you′ve been crying for too long Sometimes life is so unkind But change is never a waste of time
I know how you′re feeling, I′ve been there before The hurting is something much to strong to ignore Don′t be waiting for someone Who can take all your fear away When there′s no one to listen That is when you should not be afraid
CHORUS
But change is never a waste... it′s never a waste of time
I pray for peace They require me to kick into high gear We may as well have our Phd′s Might we compose was never taken into account
I pray they let out or talk it out She would give me a wink across the room I would have made a really good lawyer I had a really good strategy for putting things back on the wall of the hoser
Thank God it was the God dammed wall I would have to hide all my valuables Who would calm my mother down? Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I were the official peace makers It was a full time job I would send my mother directly to bed do not collect 200 We′d talk about it till 5am when I′d come visiting her 5 years later
We would pray for peace It was most comfortable and familiar
Dear matthew I like you a lot I realize you′re in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that I would like you to know that if you′re ever single in the future And you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song
Dear eric I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me And think solely about themselves and you were plenty self - destructive for my taste at the time I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90′s your face Comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday
Dear terry I love you muchly you′ve been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available And supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in And pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch And cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which to jump Beyond myself what was wrong with me
Dear marc you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women And you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn′t let me get away With kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around You though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it′s kinda too bad Because we could′ve had much more fun
Dear terrance you were an adventure besides being a few decades older than I was You used to write the most poetic loveletters and I still have them you were in And out of several marriages and you liked them young and naive so you could have The power and the dramas to feel fear I wonder what your wife thought of all of this
Dear christian we learned so much I realize we won′t be able to talk for some time And I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we did As well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always Have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts
Dear taylor I missed you a lot there was a period of time when I was too mad to even bring up Your name and it killed me to hear you discount the time we spent together I knew all along That we had different tastes in moderations and we couldn′t hang out forever and while it lasted It was hilarious
Can you relate to what it says The lyrics are straight from the heart The soul is expressed in the lyrics The virtues and vices are released
Chorus: Keep The Radio On, This song means so much to me Keep the Radio On, The words live right through me The lyrics are comforting Like I expressed them my self Keep The Radio on, the song speaks for itself.
Why Can′t You Relate To my way of thinking Why don′t you understand All the things I am feeling I am not a stranger to opinions In fact i have my own I am no stranger to delusions Although you live through mine

It′s late at night and no one′s around And only my heart is making a sound I lay awake alone in my bed And I can′t sleep should I call you instead
I think of you far too much ′cause you, you′re one of a kind I′m not like an open book ′cause I′ve got something in mind
CHORUS: You know I can′t deny the way I feel inside I won′t be hiding my love You know I can′t disguise you′re always on my mind And now I can′t get enough
Give me love, I know that you can I like the strength of a confident man It′s in my blood and all through my veins You feel it once and you′re never the same
Whenever I close my eyes you′re there. I feel it inside But why am I holding in my love, I can′t tell you why
CHORUS
I think of you far too much ′cause you, you′re one of a kind I′m not like an open book ′cause I′ve got something in mind You know I, you know I, I can′t deny Every day you′re always on my mind You know I, you know I, I can′t disguise Can′t deny the way I feel inside
If it weren′t for your maturity none of this would have happened If you weren′t so wise beyond your years I would′ve been able to control myself If it weren′t for my attention you wouldn′t have been successful and If it weren′t for me you would never have amounted to very much
Ooh this could be messy But you don′t seem to mind Ooh don′t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime
We′ll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you′ve washed your hands clean of this
You′re essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me You′re kind of my protaagaa and one day you′ll say you learned all you know from me I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
Ooh this could get messy But you don′t seem to mind Ooh don′t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime
We′ll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you′ve washed your hands clean of this
What part of our history′s reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don′t tell on me especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world cuz you′re such a pretty thing when you′re done up properly I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
Ooh this could be messy and Ooh I don′t seem to mind Ooh don′t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime

What if there were no more mama′s boys What if no one shares their humble appearance What there were no consequences What if there were no more arguments Well that′d be a shame Wouldn′t that be impossible And you would be board ′cause you wouldn′t want it a little to late...
CHORUS Hold on ′till the weekend ′cause the weekend I′ll get by Hold off ′till the weekend ′cause the man upstairs has the really nice guys Hold off ′till the weekend ′cause the weekend I′ll get high Hold off ′till the weekend ′cause we may look strange but we surely will get by
What if there were no more mama′s boys What if we all had no thinking together Would that be a shame... Wouldn′t that′d be impossible And you would be bored ′cause you wouldn′t want to lead it away
What did you think I′d be doing now While you left me I was thinking aloud Would there be no end to my sorrow Will I make it through tomorrow Fate Stay With Me
Chorus: Oh, Please Fate Stay with me, and guide me along my way There has been so many problems So please stay, please, stay Fate stay with me, will you help me on my way
Will you end my troubles Will you please stay, please... I wanted money and hope and A dream to carry me forever
This is all the hope I got left Help me to get it together, now I can sing or act or dance but I still won′t get far Unless you help me please to be a big star

I am a man as a man I′ve been told Bacon is brought to the house in this mold Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord Years I have groveled repentance ignored
And I have been blamed And I have repented I′m working my way toward our union mended
I am man who has grown from a son Been crucified by enraged women I am son who was raised by such men I′m often reminded of the fools I′m among
And I have been shamed And I have relented I′m working my way toward our union mended And I have been shamed And I have repented I′m working my way toward our union mended
We don′t fare well with endless reprimands We don′t do well with a life served as a sentence This won′t work well if you′re hell bent on your offence I am a man who understands your resistance

Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented I′m working my way toward our union mended And we have been blamed and we have repented I′m working my way toward our union mended

Dear matthew I like you alot I realise you′re in a relationship with someone right now And I respect that I would like you to know that if you′re ever single in the future And you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song Dear jonathan I like you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me And think solely about themselves And you were plenty self - destructive for my taste At the time I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is Whenever I think about the early 90′s Your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday Dear terrance I love you muchly You′ve been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive And nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember How beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself what was wrong with me Dear marcus you rocked my world You had a charismatic way about you with the women and you got me Seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn′t let me get away with kicking my own ass But I could never really feel Relaxed and looked out for around you though And that stopped us from going any further than we did And it′s kinda too bad because we could′ve had much more fun Dear lou we learned so much I realise we won′t be able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do you The long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could We were together during a very tumultuous time In our lives I will always have your back And be curious about you and your career and your whereabouts
[Verse 1:] So it starts with the pauses As singular and quiet It′s still and it is patient Intended as it grows And we go From sunrise to sun falling From daughter to sister Angels through Maria
[Verse 2:] Our reaching is daunting But perfectly far reaching And our mission is joined With our children returning There′s blood and there′s sweat And there′s fears unabated And there′s grief in the night time While the phoenix is rising Rising high leading me home
[Chorus 1:] So this is the morning We′re more keen to blending We′re led by the senses We′re serving our family We′re graced by the tender We′re upping the ante We can′t help but orient Homebound t′ward unity
[Bridge:] And this sight of inclusion This [?] protected [?] safe by intention Educate me far and wide
[Verse 3:] And this small section of the world It calls me to my highest To true collaboration
[Alternate lyrics:] Senses are delicate And fashion toward the whole The tales, they′re high The vibes, they′re high The tales, they′re tall My specialty I am carrying by This shaky arm
[Chorus 2:] So this is the morning We′re more keen to blending We′re led by the senses We′re serving our family And these are our sisters And this our specialty And this our commitment to whole
There′s a little black spot on the sun today That′s my soul up there it′s the same old thing as yesterday That′s my soul up there There′s a black hat Caught in a high tree top That′s my soul up there There′s a flag pole rag and the wind wont stop That′s my soul up there
I have stood here before in the pouring rain With the world turning Circles running round my brain I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
There′s a fossil that′s trapped in a high Cliff wall There′s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall There′s a blue whale beached by a springtides ebb There′s a butterfly trapped in a spiders web There′s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There′s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There′s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There′s a skeleton Choking on a Crust of bread There′s a red fox torn by a huntsman′s pack There′s a black winged gull with a broken back There′s a little black spot on the sun today it′s the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before in the pouring rain With the world turning Circles running round my brain I guess I always thought you Could end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
Dear momma′s boy I know you′ve had your butt licked by your mother I know you′ve enjoyed all that attention from her And every woman graced with your presence after Dear narcissus boy I know you′ve never really apologized for anything I know you′ve never really taken responsibility I know you′ve never really listened to a woman
Dear me - show boy I know you′re not really into conflict resolution Or seeing both sides of every equation Or having an uninterrupted conversation
And any talk of healthiness And any talk of connectedness And any talk of resolving this Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to love you Try to love you when you really don′t want me To)
Dear egotist boy you′ve never really had to suffer any consequence You′ve never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes You′d never understand anyone showing resistance Dear popular boy I know you′re used to getting everything so easily A stranger to the concept of reciprocity People honor boys like you in this society
And any talk of selflessness And any talk of working at this And any talk of being of service Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to help you try to help you When you really don′t want me to)
You go back to the women who will dance the dance You go back to your friends who will lick your ass You go back to ignoring all the rest of us You go back to the center of your universe
Dear self centered boy I don′t know why I still feel affected by you I′ve never lasted very long with someone like you I never did although I have to admit I wanted to Dear magnetic boy you′ve never been with anyone who doesn′t take your shit You′ve never been with anyone who′s dared to call you on it I wonder how you′d be if someone were to call you on it
And any talk of willingness And any talk of both feet in And any talk of commitment Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to change you try to Try to change you when you really don′t Want me to)
You go back to the women who will dance the dance You go back to your friends who will lick your ass You go back to being so oblivious You go back to the center of the universe
through you I see I) Between a broken nose and a fake smile Between piety and gunpowder Between fighting and fleeing the scene Between murder and diplomacy Between aggression and ????? Between brutal and realistically well behaved Between screaming and pulling in the reins Between tiptoeing and ambleing
What am I to do with all this fire (I′d like to hit you but I′d never hit you) Would you stay with me in this red space (I′d like to slap you but I′d never slap you)
Chorus Between violence and silently seething Between my fist and my pollyanna flower Between fuck you to your face and it′s alright Between war and denial
Between flying vases and secretly weeping Between loose cannons and ever downplaying Between bruises and rudely differing Between bursting and boiling
What am I to do with all this burning (I′d like to hurt you but I′d never hurt you) Do I overwhelm you in this place (I′d like to kill you but I′d never kill you)
What am I to do with all this fire Can you understand me in this place?
Are you still mad I kicked you out of bed? Are you still mad I gave you ultimatums? Are you still mad I compared you to all My forty year old male friends? Are you still mad I shared our problems With everybody?
Are you still mad I had an emotional affair? Are you still mad I tried to mold you into Who I wanted you to be? Are you still mad I didn′t trust your intentions? Of course you are Of course you are
Are you still mad that I flirted wildly? Are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you? Are you still mad that I had one foot out the door? Are you still mad that we slept together even after We had ended it? Of course you are Of course you are
Are you still mad I wore the pants most of the time? Are you still mad that I seemed to focus Only on your potential? Are you still mad that I threw in the towel? Are you still mad that I gave up long before you did? Of course you are Of course you are
You′ll complete me right? then my life can finally begin I′ll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am?
But this won′t work now the way it once did And I won′t keep it up even though I would love to Once I know who I′m not then I′ll know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
But this won′t work as well as the way it once did Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss And though I know who I′m not I still don′t know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
I′ve spent so long firmly looking outside me I′ve spent so much time living in survival mode
I went to your house Walked up the stairs I opened your door without ringing a bell I walked down the hall Into your room Where I could smell you And I Shouldn′t be here Without Permission Shouldn′t be here Would you forgive me love If I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love If I laid in your bed Would you forgive me love If I stayed out left and new oh... I took off my clothes Put on your rob Went through your drawers and I found your cologne Went down to the den Found your CD′s And I played your Johnny And I Shouldn′t stay long You might be home soon Shouldn′t stay long Would you forgive me love If I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love If I laid in your bed Would you forgive me love If I stayed out left and new oh... I burned your incense I ran a bath I noticed a letter that sat on your desk It said hello love I love you so love Meet me at midnight And no It wasn′t my writing I better go soon It wasn′t my writing So forgive me love If I cry in your shower So forgive me love For the salt in your bed So forgive me love If I cry out left and new oh...
I had high expectations It′s something I could not compromise And when I saw you I wasn′t ready It completely took my heart by surprise
Who... And when I think of the time I med you The situation looked harmless It wasn′t long before I got confused enough And soon I realized that your...
CHORUS: Love is just an emotion away I know it′s gonna get to you Love will be only a moment away A moment away you know it′s true
Lately the way I′m feeling It′s something I could never have planned I knew that one day I′d find a love thing Now I′ll never stop believing in chance
I put my heart on a shelf forever I never thought I would find you I didn′t know any better baby But then I realized that your...
CHORUS
Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you′re gonna get some (Ad - lib)
Testosterone in large amounts Your little sister just kick out of God you can′t shave your head Come to the show The boys rock harder Your mother lent you her slip She lent you her bright red lipstick And your shoes are hurting your back But boy don′t you look gorgeous
You look gorgeous You look gorgeous You look gorgeous How you look gorgeous
This is but an observation You put a bullet in your foot You make it hard for us bitches inconsequential in your back bends And your taste in men leaves something to de desired You love them to be aloof and self obsessed They love you in your mini dress
You are looking gorgeous You′re looking gorgeous You′re looking gorgeous How you look gorgeous
When your voice is raised above a certain level I′m afraid you must go to the ladies room I left your competence in curlers
You look gorgeous You look gorgeous You′re looking gorgeous How you look gorgeous
I am the harm which you inflict. I am your brilliance and frustration. I′m the nuclear bombs if they′re to hit. I am your immaturity and your indignance. I am your misfits and your praised. I am your doubt and your conviction. I am your charity and your rape. I am your grasping and expectation.
I see you averting your glances. I see you cheering on the war. I see you ignoring your children, And I love you still. And I love you still.
I am your joy and your regret. I am your fury and your elation. I am your yearning and your sweat. I am your faithless and your religion.
I see you altering history. I see you abusing the land. I see you, your selective amnesia, And I love you still. And I love you still.
Haaaaaaaaahh I see you averting your glimpses. I see you cheering on the war. I see you ignoring your children, And I love you still. And I love you still. I see you altering history. I see you abusing the land. I see you, your selective amnesia, I love you still. And I love you still.
I am your tragedy and your fortune. I am your crisis and delight. I am your profits and your prophets. I am your art, I am your vice. I am your death and your decisions. I am your passion and your plight. I am your sickness and convalescence. I am your weapons and your light.
I see you holding your grudges. I see you gunning them down. I see you silencing your sisters, And I love you still. And I love you still. I see you lie to your country. I see you forcing them out. I see you blaming each other, And I love you still. And I love you still.
Haaaaaaaahh I see you holding your grudges. I see you gunning them down. I see you silencing your sisters, I love you still. I love you still. I see you lie to your country. I see you forcing them out. I see you blaming each other. I love you still. I love you still. I see you.
I don′t want to be the filler if the void is solely yours I don′t want to be your glass of single malt whiskey Hidden in the bottom drawer I don′t want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine Lend me some fresh air I don′t want to be adored for what I merely represent to you I don′t want to be your babysitter You′re a very big boy now I don′t want to be your mother I didn′t carry you in my womb for nine months Show me the back door
CHORUS: Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 Well I already know that you′d find some way to sneak me in and oh Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom You see it′s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don′t want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon I don′t want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2 I don′t want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face at midnight Hey what are you hungry for I don′t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together I don′t want to be your idol See this pedestal is high and I′m afraid of heights I don′t want to be lived through A vicarious occasion Please open the window
REPEAT CHORUS
I don′t want to live on someday when my motto is last week I don′t want to be responsible for your fractured hear and its wounded beat I don′t want to be a substitute for the smoke you′ve been inhaling What do you thank me What do you thank me for
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and For continuing my numbing love endlessly. For helping you and myself: not even considering For beating myself up and overfunctioning.
To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No oneas been crueler than Iave been to me.
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable For myself love being so embarassingly conditional. And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible And for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.
And To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No oneas been crueler than Iave been to me.
I′m sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. I′m sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
For blaming myself for your unhappiness And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was. Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready, And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.
To whom do I owe the first apology? No oneas been crueler than Iave been to me.
And Iam sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. Iam sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ? Forgetting you or forgetting myself... Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter, I wouldave naturally loved the former.
For ignoring you: my highest voices. For smiling when my strife was all too obvious. For being so disassociated from my body, And for not letting go when it wouldave been the kindest thing.
To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No oneas been crueler than Iave been to me.
And Iam sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else Iam sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else. Iam sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else Iam sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else
You hadn′t seen your father in such a long time He died in the arms of his lover how dare he Your mother never left the house She never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her
You reminded her so much of your father So you were banished and you wonder why you′re so hypersensitive And why you can′t trust anyone but us But then how can I begin to forgive her under so many bridges with dirty water She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me
I don′t know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring Who are you younger generation to tell me that I have unresolved problems Not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labour
How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were It was much harder in those days we had paper routes up hill both ways We went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood
I walked into his office I felt so self conscious on the couch He was sitting down across from me he was writing down his hypothesis I don′t know I′ve got a loving supportive wife who doesn′t know how involved she should get You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit?
Just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203 I walked up the stairs in my mind′s eye I remember how they would creak loudly She was only responsive with a drink she was only responsive by photo I was only trying to be the best big brother I could
I′ve walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide Sometimes indignant sometimes raw Can you imagine I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes It feels like highway robbery And sometimes its peanuts I wish it could last a couple more hours
So here we both are battling similar demons ( not coincidentally) You see in getting beyond knowing its solely intellectually You′re not relinquishing your majestry You are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big And I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life
There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two Even though the neighborhood thinks I′m trashy and no good I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through, that′s a thing I′d never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away On a dream that won′t come true I could hurt someone like me, out of spite and jealously I don′t steal and I don′t lie, but I can feel and I can cry A fact I′ll bet you never knew But to cry in front of you, that′s the worst thing I could do
Give me what I′m askin′ for Stop bringin′ me down or I′ll slam the door You′re getting out of line with the Beverly Boys You start makin′ the moves they start makin′ The noise
You know you′re not getting lucky Livin′ the life because you′re movin′ to The jungle and paying the price You′re livin′ right along with the New Brady Bunch
Have your people call my people and let′s do lunch Reaction to the actin there′s more to me Than human flesh I′ve had enough distractions I need some tenderness
CHORUS: Human Tough I gotta know it′s real I′m tired of people sellin′ their sex appeal Human Touch I need human love No imitations of oh baby
A bird in the busy is worth two in The street - you know the kind of people Never want to meet you′re sitting really Pretty in your swimming pool with your Rock ′n roll tan you keep thinkin′ you′re Cool
You know you can′t reach Jesus on your Portable phone he ain′t speakin′ to the people In their Hollywood homes with a toot In your snoot and your loot to boot You don′t even give a hoot about the Minds you pollute
Lookin′ for deceptions there′s more to me Than human flesh I′m finding new Directions I need some tenderness!
CHORUS
I′m lookin′ for the real thing there′s more To me than human flesh I′m gonna Stop at nothin′
I was afraid you′d hit me if I′d spoken up I was Afraid of your physical strength I was afraid You′d hit me below the belt I was afraid of your Sucker punch I was afraid of your reducing me I was afraid of your alcohol breath I was afraid Of your complete disregard for me I was afraid Of your temper I was afraid of handles being Flown off of I was afraid of holes being punched Into walls I was afraid of your testosterone
I have as much rage as you have I have as much pain as you do I′ve lived as much hell as you have And I′ve kept mine bubbling under for you
You were my best friend You were my lover You were my mentor You were my brother You were my partner You were my teacher You were my very own sympathetic character
I was afraid of verbal daggers I was afraid of the Calm before the storm I was afraid for my own Bones I was afraid of your seduction I was afraid Of your coersion I was afraid of your rejection I was afraid of your initimidation I was afraid of Your punichment I was afraid of your icy silences I was afraid of your volume I was afraid of your Manipulation I was afraid of your explosions
I have as much rage as you have I have as much pain as you do I′ve lived as much hell as you have And I′ve kept mine bubbling under for you
Chorus You were my keeper You were my anchor You were my family You were my saviour And therein lay the issue And therein lay the problem
My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots At that particular time love had challenged me to stay At that particular moment I knew not run away again That particular month I was ready to investigate with you At that particular time
We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding At that particular time love encouraged me to wait At that particular moment it helped me to be patient That particular month we needed time to marinate in what us meant
I′ve always wanted for you what you′ve wanted for yourself And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt And in the meantime I lost myself In the meantime I lost myself I′m sorry I lost myselfaa. i am
You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted At that particular love encouraged me to leave At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me That particular month was harder than you′d believe but I still left At that particular time
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled I would run away and say good riddance, soon enough I had grown disgusted by your small - minded ceiling Imagine myself bolting had not been difficult
Soon be my life Soon be my pace Soon be my choice of which you′ll have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and Iam heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last I′d invite you but I′m busy being unoppressed
I hit the ground running, although I know not what toward I hit the town feeling, forgetting all that came before I felt primed and ready, once surrounded by the pawns I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not
This is my town This is my voice This is my taste of which you′ve have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and I′m heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last I′d invite you but Iam busy being unoppressed
One day Iall saddle back and speak of foreign adventures One day Iall double back and tell you about these unfettered years One day Iall look back and feel something other than relieved Glad that I left when I did before, I know you, you can′t get the best of me
When Iad speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward When Iad speak of spirituality you would label it absurd When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head If I had stayed much longer, Iad have surely imploded
These are my words This is my house These are my friends of which you′ve had no part
Unprodigal daughter and Iam heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last Iad invite you but Iam busy being unoppressed
Unprodigal daughter and Iam heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last Iad invite you but Iam busy being unoppressed
Why do I feel it′s all up to me to see that Everything′s right and it′s how it should be Why don′t they just leave me alone I′ve got to prove I can Little girl with stars in her eyes they′ve Got her all figured out and there′s nowhere To hide why can′t they all see who I am When will they understand
It may take some time they don′t know how It feels because they can′t read my mind They always say I′m too young and they Feel they should help me But I can make it all alone out here on my own
Every day I feel so in demand and all I Wish I could find is a place I can land One day I′ll feel comfort inside cause I′ll Know who I am
I can hold the line if I know in the end That I won′t be left behind I don′t regret What I′ve done I don′t think you can blame me Now I′m standin′ all alone out here on my own
I′m not thinking ′bout leavin′ home But I need to be on my own Doesn′t mean I have a heart of stone I won′t even ask them why I can′t ever let them see me cry Here I′m standing all alone out here on my own... Out here on my own
Feeling lost in a world full of lies I can′t help thinkin′ that love is just Passin′ me by Hold on to what I believe And keep an open hand
Can I have it all if there′s no one to Turn to when I stumble and fall Is there a secret I need because no one Has told me - all alone
It may take some time cause I know How it feels to have a lot on your mind I′ll never feel all alone cause! Know that I have me Now I can make it all alone out here on my own
My misery has enjoyed company And although I have ached I don′t threaten anybody Sometimes I feel more bigness than I′ve shared with you Sometimes I wonder why I quell when I′m not required to
I′ve tried to be small I′ve tried to be stunted I′ve tried roadblocks and all My happy endings prevented Sometimes I feel it′s all just too big to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
I could be golden I could be glowing I could be freedom But that could be boring Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true I sabotage myself for fear of losing you
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
This talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down Under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone
I could be full I could be thriving I could be shining Sounds isolating Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
Please be philosophical Please be tapped into your femininity Please be able to take the wheel from me Please be crazy and curious
Papa love your princess so that she will find loving princes familiar Papa cry for your princess so that she will find gentle princes familiar
Please be a sexaholic Please be unpredictably miserable Please be self absorbed much (not the good kind) Please be addicted to some substance
Papa listen to your princess so that she will find attentive princes familiar Papa hear your princess so that she will find curious princes familiar Please be the jerk of my knee I′ve fit you always You finish my sentences I think I love you What is your name again no matter i′m guessing your thoughts again correctly And I love the way You press my buttons so much sometimes I could strangle you
Papa laugh with your princess so that she will find funny princes familiar Papa respect your princess so that she will find respectful princes familiar
Please be strangely enigmatic Please be just like my
You′ve been my golden best friend Now with post - demise at hand Can′t go to you for consolation Cause we′re off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me It burns in my stomach And I can′t stop bumping into things
I thought we′d be simple together I thought we′d be happy together Thought we′d be limitless together I thought we′d be precious together But I was sadly mistaken
You′ve been my soulmate and mentor I remembered you the moment I met you With you I knew god′s face was handsome With you I suffered an expansion
This loss is numbing me It pierces my chest And I can′t stop dropping everything
I thought we′d be sexy together Thought we′d be evolving together I thought we′d have children together I thought we′d be family together But I was sadly mistaken
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we′d be genius together I thought we′d be healing together I thought we′d be growing together Thought we′d be adventurous together But I was sadly mistaken
Thought we′d be exploring together Thought we′d be inspired together I thought we′d be flying together Thought we′d be on fire together But I was sadly mistaken
Sarah′s only 10 and she′s attracted to older men And they seem to like her back ′Cause she′s intelligent Billy′s a football star And he drives around in his muscle car But he really really wants to be a ballerina And he wonders who am I? Who am I? And he wants to be a man But he doesn′t understand It′s alright to be what he wants
I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos Can you hear me call tonight? I know you′re alone in your world Full of fear though But the more you run the harder it is to hide
Well, Jonny studies rockets With his plastic protected pockets so his pens donat leak out upon the floor Where Jenny′s rolling And she′s scared of growing ′Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door And she wonders who am I? What the hell am I? And she′s got a lot to offer But she doesn′t look like Cindy Crawford And it makes her cry
I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos Can you hear me call tonight? I know you′re alone in your world Full of fear though But the more you run the harder it is to hide
It′s a total rejection of the system It′s the honest opinion for the very first time It′s a different position, of living And its time that you made up your minds
I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos You′re not alone tonight I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos Can you hear me call tonight? I know you′re alone in your world Full of fear though But the more you run the harder it is to hide
I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call tonight? I′m calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos

Dear dar(lin′) your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine she was frantic Saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with yourself I guess she thought i′d be a perfect resort because we′ve had this inexplicable connection since our youth and Yes they′re in shock they are panicked you and your chronic them and their drama You this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion If we were our bodies If we were our futures If we were our defenses i′d be joining you If we were our culture If we were our leaders If we were our denials i′d be joining you I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more than you thought you should know You said I don′t ever want to be brainwashed and you were mindboggling you were intense You were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful If we were our nametags If we were our rejections If we were our outcomes i′d be joining you If we were our indignities If we were our successes If we were our emotions i′d be joining you You and I we′re like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive And question mightily and find god my tortured beacon We need to find like - minded companions If we were their condemnations If we were their projections If we were our paranois i′d be joining you If we were our incomes If we were our obsessions If we were our afflictions i′d be joining you We need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often
I wouldn′t have compromised as much So much of myself for fear of Having you hating me I would′ve sung so loudly It would′ve cracked myself! I became self conscious Of anything exuberant I would′nt have sold myself short I would′ve kept my eyes Glued to the ground If I had′ve known my invisibility Would not make a difference I would′ve run around screaming proudly At the top of my voice I wouldn′t have said it was in fact luck I′m talking idealism here I would not have been so self deprecating I wouldn′t have cowered For fear of having my eyes scratched out! I wouldn′t have cut my comfort off I wouldn′t have feigned needlessness I would not have discredited Every one of their compliments It was your approval I wanted Your congratulations
A million times in a million ways I will try to change you A million months and a million days I′ll try to somehow convince you
I have waited for you and adjusted for you and I′m done I have deferred to you and enabled you and I′m done
You′re too young or you′re too old or you′re simply not inclined You′re asleep or you′re withholding be that my cue to crave you
Several times in several ways I′ll try to squeeze love from you Several hours and several ways I′ll feast on scraps thrown from you
I have bent for you and I′ve deprived for you and I′m done I have depressed for you and contorted for you and I′m done I have stifled for you and I′ve compromised for you and I′m done I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you and I′m done
It won′t be long before I am reclaimed It won′t take long and I′ll be on path again It won′t be easy for us to disengage I′m at the end of self deprivation stage
You′re afraid of every woman afraid of your inner workings You cringe at the thought of living under the same roof as me god and everything
A million times and a million ways I′ve tried to alter to match you Several times every several days I′ve tried to uncrush on you
You know how us Catholic girls can be We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I′ll see you next Sunday
CHORUS: We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brothers they never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question
REPEAT CHORUS
What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven
REPEAT CHORUS
We all had delusions in our head We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did
These are the thoughts that go through my head In my backyard on a sunday afternoon When I have the house to myself and I am not Expending all that energy on fighting With my boyfriend Is he the one that I will marry And why is it so hard to be objective about Myself why do I feel cellularly alone Am I supposed to live in this crazy city Can blindly continued fear - induced regurtitated life - denying tradition Be overcome
Where does the money go that I send To those in need, if we have so much why do some people have nothing Still why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning Why do you say you are spiritual, yet you treat people like shit
How can you say you′re close to God, and yet you talk behind My back as though I′m not a part of you, why do I say I′m fine When it′s obvious I′m not, why′s it so hard to tell you what I want Why can′t you just read my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am The less you will listen Why do I care whether you like me or not Why′s it so hard for me to be angry Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck And not the other way around
Will I ever move back to Canada Can I be with a lover with whom I am a student And a master, oh why am I encouraged to shut my mouth When it gets too close to home, why cannot I Live in the moment
