I can't take a shit on cue like you expect me to
you will have to wait until I'm full
you can't make it fit like you had been elected to
you just can't shove square pegs into round holes
it just goes to show
I won't take a hit from you like I was pressured to
no one will be there to break my fall
they say it only hurts a bit at first but it will grow on you
you will learn to like it more and more
why don't you let it go?

Off Guard

now that you have me nice, all hot and bothered
you now lost your chance to catch me off guard
I hope you don't mind me turning down your offer
come over anytime you wish but call first
hungry man has no bread in his cupboard
lonely man has no one to call his lover
sick man has no chances to recover
holy man has nothing new to uncover

Feel Something
03:01

there is a problem with me
something that nobody sees
I try to keep it inside
just to keep you satisfied
it's nothing to do with you
or anything that you do
I just become desensitized
lost the element of surprise
you don't know what I would
give to feel something again
I've lost all my innocence
I'll never feel it again
way back when we were young
there was so much to try
now all has been said and done
really nothing more to find
we always look for that place
where no one has been before
but now we've run out of space
no void to fill anymore
you don't know what I would give
to feel something again
I've given all I could give
now I feel nothing
I try to keep a fresh point of view
and try to keep an open mind
these days there's really nothing new
I feel like I'm caught in a bind
I just don't know how to express
what I feel in an original way
I think you couldn't care less
about what I have to say
you don't know what I would give
to feel something again
I've taken all you could give
now there's really nothing left

a warm sensitivity
my lips on your naked skin
need to feel myself inside you
when can I taste you again?
with me you'll feel what you want to feel
you'll give to me what I won't steal
there is nothing for you to conceal
you think our love cannot be real
close your eyes and let it go
free your mind and let it flow
surrender yourself to me
little girl
you think all I want is up your dress
the way you look so content
I swear, that's not my intention
not without your consent
with me you'll be what you want to be
you'll show me what I want to see
I promise whatever you reveal to me
will be protected in secrecy
close your eyes and let it go
free your mind and let it flow
surrender yourself to me
little girl

There For You

you hurt yourself and I was there for you
but when I needed you there was nothing you could do
I tried as hard as I could just to keep you amused
but everything I had to offer you refused
you started to cry while we were making love
then I cried to you just because
I tried as hard as I could just to make you smile
and to make every moment we shared seem worthwhile

Never

you promised me that you would
stop sleeping around
but recently you've gone back to your old ways
now you're all over town
I tried to give you another chance
at somewhat of a normal life
but now I realize that you only came to me
so that you could just get by
you never felt anything
inside
you promised me that you would try
to get back on your feet
but recently you've gone back to your old ways
now you're working the street
I tried to bail you out of this whole mess
I thought it would do you some good
but now I realize that you are just hopeless
and I wish I understood why
you never felt anything
inside

Unwind

I've been trying so hard to keep my head up high
while I've been feeling so damn low
I want to crawl somewhere to die
I've been working so hard to live my life
I've cut so many corners just to keep on the path
I've almost crossed the line
that's why I smoked myself into a foggy haze
it took me away from the strain
for a little while
I've been slaving away just to get by
turning the wheel as tight as I can
now I just need to unwind
that's why I drank myself into a stumbling haze
it took me away from the pain
for a little while

confined to my abilities, I attempt to speak
deprived any stability, so docile and so weak
I try to open up to you but your arms are out of reach
hoping to learn everything but only so much you can teach
you appear to be above everything else
but all your tears and all your love you keep to yourself
then it gets more interesting when you share these things
even somewhat embarrassing something still seems missing
a spark of curiosity, desire came into play
trust and generosity, let me have you another way
you appear to be above everything else
you gave in and let me have you all to myself

when I feel you it hurts me so bad
but when you leave me you make me so sad
and when I hear you your words make me so mad
but I forgive you and you should know that
because you are my favorite uncomfortable feeling
you are my favorite uncomfortable feeling
and when it all goes away
it seems like I lost the only thing I ever had
when you touch me it hurts me so bad
but when you ignore me you make me so sad
when I see you things you do make me so mad
but I love you and you should know that
because you are my favorite uncomfortable feeling
you are my favorite uncomfortable feeling
pain is just another way
of letting us all know that we're still alive
