Oddity

this is the way it's got to be...

no fear, so depraved, break

Unspoiled
always cold inside this glass
trust it's hard, i know this trust will never last
it's never been much of my concern
i've grown in size again, still fine?
sleep it all away, just another day
always me in the corner this way
it's never been much of your concern
you've grown inside again, still fine?
do i look fine to you?
do i seem alright to you?
do i look fine?
do i seem alright - to you?
stay - unspoiled
so spoiled you leave cleaner by day
exposed and lonely forever on display
it's never been much of our concern
we fell apart again, kill time

Big Truck
too small, too small don't compromise
so have fast, too fast don't realize
have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me
too fast, too fast don't realize
so have fast, too fast don't recognize
have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me
moving - motion
said move, said move it
somebody better come and drive me
big truck
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold, hold my body, hold my body
big truck, come on

Sway
the roof the roof the roof is on fire
we don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
burn motherfucker burn
burn, burn, burn, burn
just a little and nothing now it's over
just a little and nothing now it's over
what you said, no,
you're never gonna say again
in your own special way you tear me down
sway - so hypnotic
neither up nor down,
just been turned and turned
it just sits inside so it burns and burns
if i can't decide what makes you hurt
in your own special way you tear me down
so ask me please, please
give me something good, now
something
give me something good, now
give me
come sway this way

First
if someone should ask you then say
that he fell away
from what he wanted at first
from what he wanted at first
from what he wanted
if someone should ask you then say
that they fell away
from what they wanted at first
from what they wanted at first
from what they wanted
as he fell away, as she fell away
he won't come out and play music anymore
if someone should ask you then say
that she fell away
from what she wanted at first
from what she wanted at first
from what she wanted
try - tried i couldn't kick it
i'm taking mine, i'm taking mine now
no, if someone should ask you then say
he sleeps all day
that he feels he's gone, son
and always will be betrayed
try, tried i couldn't kick it, no
i'm taking mine
try - tried i couldn't kick
as she - as she

I
let down through the breakthrough
i travel as i hunger for the darkness below me
when i'm praying for the light above
to save this soul inside me
should i? would i? could i?
outcast from my own kind never knowing
soaring through my own mind never knowing
how could they live with what their doing
twist of my spine
oh god fuck
i don't get it
breathe with me
just breathe with me
it's up to me as i hunger
lay slow and still as i wonder
pray for darkness down in this hollow
but i try to grope
it's up to me as i sleep again
my body lays down as i holler
it's all inside but i confess in me
i like me

Clock
clock tick tick tick, tick tock, tick tock
wicked mind you hold the hour
but my mind it holds the power
clock tick tick tick
where did the time go?
what do i have to show?
watching the time fly (go by)
watching the time fly
clock - it counts my fears
my time goes by so slow
my clock goes by so slow
come closer you can do better
you can do better than me
it counts my fears

My Frustration
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
lie in bed and sleep don't come
have some peace then give me some
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
and i can't seem to seem to find my way
i can't seem to find the break of day
i'll stay just a step away
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
and i have become my worst enemy
i will survive this instability
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
again i have become my worst enemy
i will survive this instability
i need to breathe the breath of life
you constantly drain my life
why can't you see the breath in me
i constantly need your need
my butterfy don't fly away
if i could just take this simple breath of life from me
you couldn't take it motherfucker eternity
if i could take this breath of life and come inside of me
you wouldn't take it, i need to breathe
as i creep the monkey's back
now she's gone and oh he's back
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
i will stay, i'll stay
i will stay, i'll stay

Dreamtime
something in my mind keeps me satisfied
shoved aside, pushed to the wayside
if you lead, i will follow you
vague memories in my mind they hide
shoved aside to get thrown by the wayside
if you lead, i will follow you
dreamtime comes quick when broken
keep me satisfied so help me
so long i prayed for dreamtime, so help me
and it's inside of you my friend
who'll save me, who will?
it's all inside of you, dreamtime

Pig
lost and lonely
your colors surrounding me
it's only my way to breakn' free
in my mind i hear the souee
don't you see i'm set free
i'm set gone gone free
lost and lonely

preceding your way after way i hate
in my mind i here the souee
