Little Boy 02:38
I don't want to die But If I ever do I hope I die alone Far away from you I'm just a little boy I'm just a little boy In these big boy shoes I don't ever want to die But I don't want to live Soon I'll pay the price Got nothing more to give I'm just a little boy I'm just a little boy In these big boy shoes

Outer Space 01:52
When we were young you said You wanted to travel to outer space Well, that's a long way from home And it's dark and it's lonely And you don't know what you'll find So you decided to take another path You went to college, then to high school And now you make a lot of money But you hate your job And you don't love your wife And you wanna kill the kids You wanna kill those fucking kids So kill those fucking kids You belong in outer space You belong in outer space

Noise Poem 01:32
I don't need the money And I don't need the job Living with no future Twiddling my thumbs I don't need your opinions All of them are wrong I got everything I want I got nothing at all I don't need television I don't need your love I don't need medication And I don't need the drugs I don't need your politics And I don't need no clothes I don't need the world I'd rather be alone

I'm in a rock & roll band I'm in a rock & roll band I do a lot of drugs And I don't sleep at all I beat my head into windows I set my skin on fire No one loves me cuz I can't love myself I'm in a rock & roll band I'm in a rock & roll band
7.
Go Back 01:10
Go back to your former location Go back to your hideaway nation Leave me out of your decisions Don't put me in your situations Go back to your boyfriend's dreams The ones that don't mean anything He'll teach you how to rot You're so young and he's not Go back to your rundown hotel Go back to your liquor and piss smell Go back to early day TV Go back to before you met me Your boyfriend don't know how to live He takes everything you give He makes a chipped statue of you Come back to me when he's all through

Black River 02:54
The sky is a river The river is black

I Know 03:51
I know why the sun don't shine no more And I know why you don't smile no more And I know why the world is painful, so painful And I know why the world is so evil, so evil I know, well I know, that there ain't no where for me And I know, yeah I know, that I am free To go, yeah to go, nowhere. Anywhere To go, yeah to go, somewhere. Everywhere

Girl 02:46
Girl , I'm crazy about you And every little thing that you do Girl, I'm crazy about you There's no one I'd rather be with than you But I'm sorry I can't date you My mind is a little unwell I freak out at every family gathering But I love the way your shampoo smells Girl , I'm crazy about you And every little thing that you do Girl, I'm crazy about you There's no one I'd rather be with than you I'm sorry I can't take you to the movies My mind is a little unwell I don't know what's wrong exactly I guess there's no real way to tell I'm sorry I couldn't buy you flowers I'm sorry I'm not interested in your parents I'm sorry I drink until I black out I'm sorry I tried to kiss your roommate I'm sorry that I thought she was you I'm sorry I know so little about you I'm sorry I think you're beautiful Girl , I'm crazy about you And every little thing that you do Girl, I'm crazy about you There's no one I'd rather be with than you

Empty 03:02
The coldness of your flesh Tears right through me Until there's nothing left But an old hanged memory Neck on a noose Dangling legs, a turned over chair Eyes bulging from the skull In a world that never cared A cold relation Come too close and you will find An unsolved equation I won't conform to a state of mind Tied to a cross I see you for who you really are Empty like me But you're too blind to see
14.
Without You 00:59
You're always late You're never on time But you're always on Somebody else's mind Cuz you're not on mine I'll make sure of that I'll get real drunk Real real drunk And I won't tell you that it's hard for me to breathe Without you, without you
15.
Everyone's looking at me I don't see them at all They just won't leave me be My back's against the wall So I try to smile Subside the fear And hope after a a while They all will disappear Everyone's looking at me I don't see them at all Everyone's looking at me I don't see them at all
16.
Don't tell me why Just close the goddamn door Don't tell me why I won't see you no more Don't tell me why You're leaving me to die Don't tell me why All I can do is cry Now I'm alone Everything is clear The sun, the trees, the clouds The sky, the morning dew Don't tell me why I'm sleeping on the floor Don't tell me lies I've heard them all before Don't tell me why I dream of you tonight Don't tell me why I don't wanna know Now I'm alone Everything is clear The sun, the trees, the clouds The sky, the morning dew
