Love and Adoration

can you help me out?
can you let me in?
more than just a job,
it's a life of sin
I don't mind at all,
It gives me a sense of purpose
what you seem to recall
was it really worth it?
Morning glories terrorize the children,
they complain but no one wants to listen
get a sense of love and adoration
hated here and all throughout the nation
I don't mind at all
I don't mind a bit
I don't mind at all
I don't mind a bit
I don't mind at all
I don't mind a bit
I don't mind at all
i don't mind a bit
dress me up like a doll
you kick me around your office
it echoes down the hall
the sound of the truly lawless
Morning glories terrorize the children,
they complain but no one wants to listen
get a sense of love and adoration
hated here and all throughout the nation

well I'm no good in a fight
I don't think I could win
in fact Ive never been in a fight at all
and Im afraid of germs
and what they can do to me
even though I know they're very small
oh take me down to the river
teach me how to swim
I can be like you again someday
oh take me down to the river
teach me how to swim
I can be like you again someday
well I don't mean to pry
I just want to go outside
I've been in this cardboard box for years
and you've been taking notes
and color photographs
cataloging all your worldly fears
oh take me down to the river
teach me how to swim
hold me underwater till I drown
well you expect a lot
you get what you deserve

can you see the headlights through the fog
I am nobody's favorite kid
now Im getting lost like my old dog
they tried to find him but they never did
well they say that love is the greatest of these
itll tear the sky in two
and the hand of god will come down
and put me on the path that leads to you
and now Im getting worried that this is just a bit too much to take
and frankly little darling every single thing I do and say feels fake
and I am so afraid that I have realized this but noticed it too late
the memories are stacking up and some of them are really not that great
well you know I like to walk alone
just not all of the time
I have been to every mountaintop
it isn't worth the climb
and oh I hate how bad this feels
and oh I hate how bad this feels
and oh I hate how bad this feels
this shit is the worst

you're trying to be kinder
but you don't know what it means
you want to make amends
but you just make a scene
and uh huh
you gotta be free
and uh huh away from me
and uh huh
you gotta be free
and uh huh away from me
you want to know your family
but you ask the wrong questions
you make bad decisions
and you make bad suggestions
it doesn't really matter
you can't go back in time
oh I'd give anything
for one more day when you were mine
and I know
the way the tidal patterns flow
and love may go
you want it back but its just not so

there's not a whole lot left
no there's not a lot left around
Im here screaming
but I'm not making any sound
cold day hold me
I freeze slowly
as the night falls
making clay dolls
I deserve this
what is purpose
i deserve this
i deserve this
i deserve this
i deserve this
I'm digging something
its buried underground
we're all in our seats
our eyes are facing down
blue water's pooling,
in dark spots in the halls
some sort of something
is dripping down the walls
hold me closely
hold me, hold me
I deserve this x4
there's not a whole lot left
no there's not a lot left around
and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

well you care a great deal about material wealth
and you can ask me about it if you ask me yourself
I'm a polyunsaturated vitamin boy
and you keep getting closer though you seek to destroy
and you can read it in books, you can see it online
it plays on the tv every sunday at nine
now its common enough that ads air on the news
yes you have to choose
and I know the dark places your mind goes
and I might get out of here tonight
and I see what's laid out in front of me
oh yeah
well you can't really tell because you can't really tell
I've no idea what you mean of course I'm feeling just well
doing lines in my car on the way to the park
statues in the dark
you can start all again because it's not good enough
and all the vultures in vogue try to convince you they're tough
keep and eye on the trees and an eye on the time
yes im feeling fine
and I know the dark places your mind goes
and I might get out of here tonight
and I see what's laid out in front of me
oh yeah
well you make a big show about material wealth
you can ask me about it if you ask me yourself
I'm a polyunsaturated vitamin boy
and you're looking right at me like I'm a toy

On Ice

though the wind here is nice
trees bend until they break
they tell ya put it on ice
or the injury is fake
and you want to make friends
with the people you're around
but if they smell your fear
they'll put you in the ground
now I can't tell
where you start and I end
and these surgical scars
prove that we're best friends
so I go to the store
buy paper pens and tape
build my own little world
so we can both escape

you know the moments pass pretty quickly
take a picture it'll last forever
try and find our way in the darkness
sometimes people really aren't that clever
why do I have such a hard time
standing by myself
I want to talk to people
but there's really no one else
and all I want is to come home
and tell you about my day
sit myself down next to you
settle there and stay
keep the memories they have lots of power
if we lose them they will not return
seems like now the fire's getting tamer
small enough to keep two people warm
two sunflowers hanging in the window
all these miles keeping us apart
to all people caring for eachother
two great comets soaring through the stars
and why do I have such a hard time
standing by myself
I want to talk to people
but there's really no one else
and all I want is to come home
and tell you about my day
sit myself down next to you
settle there and stay
wake up
you're gonna miss it all
wake up
you had a nasty fall
wake up
you're gonna miss it all
wake up
you had a nasty fall
you know the moments pass pretty quickly
take a picture it'll last forever
you know the moments pass pretty quickly
you know the moments come and then they're gone

you're full of yourself
both blessing and curse
I made a mess
and now you're making it worse
I dont know why I thought
that I could be self deprecating
I dont know why
Im that surprised
I saw the look
that was in your eyes
and now Im alone
and everything I do is so frustrating
tell me why
I want to know why
why would you do such a thing?
tell me why
I want to know why
why would you do such a thing?
and theres no sense
in making a scene
everyone knows
thats petty and mean
I'll see you around but
it won't be like it was before
and now one thing
is crystal clear
I plan my whole damn life around fear
and when I do
I wake each morning on the floor
tell me why
I want to know why
why would you do such a thing?
tell me why
I want to know why
why would you do such a thing?
