I’m looking through the window
To the life I left behind.
I am not liking this
Dark depressing side.
Friends are few of many
With little on their mind,
But they will always try,
And they will, they’ll take my side.
And I hide behind a mask of guilt
And of every single lie,
And the mirror shows my true reflection for
Once in its life.
There’s no one left but me,
No one left to see
The pain I see.
Everybody suffers but they look away.
No-one cares for themselves anyway.
But I will believe in everything, I will
Be the savior, yes I will,
I’ll be the king.
And I hide behind a mask of guilt
And of every single lie,
And the mirror shows my true reflection for
Once in its life.

I asked the man in the moon some hard questions.
He stared at me with sunken eyes.
Now I’ve gone blind
With everything I’ve seen in those eyes.
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to say?
Yes, I did go insane,
But I will be okay.
I won’t believe in a god
That doesn’t believe in me.
See, I’m just a man
Who wants to be free.
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to say?
Yes, I did go insane,
But I might be okay.
I am running out of time,
I am running from my mind.
I don’t know when I will die,
But Joe Jersa will cry!
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
Yes, I did go insane,
And I’ll never be okay!

Cold

Back when the air was cold,
Ground was colder, and your heart froze.
I knew what I had to do.
You left me out in the cold,
And I had nowhere left to go.
So I went to the parking lot
Where we talked and they would fuck,
Just so I wouldn’t feel alone.
I just needed to clear my head,
But now I’m stuck here instead.
I knew that this day would come,
When everybody I ever loved
Would condemn and forsake me.
That’s why I’m all alone.
I just needed to clear my head,
But now I’m stuck here instead.
I’m all alone
Out in the cold
I need to be the kind of guy
That I don’t know,
I just don’t know,
I’m all alone,
Out in the cold.

Sheep

When you hate the smell of your own home,
That’s when you realize it’s time to go.
Leave everyone else behind,
Do not tell them what’s behind the lies.
You’re just a sheep in wolves’ clothing
With no control at all.
You’re just a sheep in wolves’ clothing,
With no power at all.
Your soul is flowing down the street
Like a plastic bag in the summer heat.
You can’t seem to go out at night,
Because you fear the Dreadwolf’s bite.
You’re just a sheep in wolves’ clothing
With no control at all.
You’re just a sheep in wolves’ clothing,
With no power at all.
Travel as far as you can,
Realize you made a mistake.
But you can’t go back now,
You’ll be burned at the sake.
You’re just a sheep in wolves’ clothing
With no control at all.
I’m just a sheep in wolves’ clothing,
With no power,
Oh no power,
With no power,
At all.

I know what went wrong
In every single song.
I worried too much,
And I didn’t think enough.
I try to sleep at night;
It’s almost six AM.
I turned to you for comfort,
Pulled back the sheets, but there,
There was nothing there.
Nothing but air,
Nothing but air,
Just a waste of space.
There were no friends
And no sign of my dear.
I ran away
And I found an empty field.
There was nothing there,
So I laid down my shield.
Nothing but air,
Nothing but air,
The space was full
Of my former friends
And the ghost of my dear.

I was at my dad’s house when my mom got married.
She went to Vegas for a quick wedding.
She was crying in the bathroom, she didn’t want to do it.
But she had to for my sister that wasn’t born yet,
She wasn’t born yet.
We’re files in the filing cabinet,
Slowly being filled,
Waiting for the day we can finally spill,
Finally spill.
Grew tired of telling my family
Why I don’t want to go to school.
So instead, I tell them I plan to
In a year or two,
Though it’s far from the truth,
So far from the truth.
There is no truth.
We’re files in the filing cabinet,
Slowly being filled,
Waiting for the day we can finally spill.
Finally spill.
I remember going to the quarry
With some friends and acting dumb.
We climbed a tall conveyer belt;
Had to sing NSP
Just to bring me down.
We’re files in a filing cabinet,
Slowly being filled,
Waiting for the day we can finally spill,
Finally spill.
The story we gather
Throughout our long years,
We finally get to tell them
What they want to hear,
What they want to hear,
What they want to hear.

Girl At The Show

“You can do this.”
It’s about 10:53,
The band’s about to play.
You walk up beside me,
I ask “What’s your name?”
We start to talk
For a little while
I found out
You drove a couple of miles.
Hell, it’s okay
If you live far away…
(Despite what everyone else will say.)
You’re the girl at the show,
You’re the only one that I want to know.
You’re the girl at the show,
You’re the only one that I’ll ever know.
You’re the girl at the show,
You’re the only one that I’ll ever know.
You’re the girl at the show,
You’re the only one that I’ll ever know.
The band finished up,
And you walk away.
I murmur to myself:
“What’s your name?”

"Nine."
You’re so literal,
I’m forgettable,
Wrote out stories I was in…
You’ll spit it out,
I’ll just choke it down,
Like the Flintstone gummies we had as kids…
Feel the blade within my feet,
Can’t see more than twenty feet ahead of me.
But I can’t stop now,
No, I can’t stop now….
My legs are numb,
Yet I am standing so strong,
‘Cause I have the spirit deep within me.
Used to play the saxophone,
But I can’t stand to pick it up.
Memories of friends long since gone
Come rushing back every time.
My legs are numb,
Yet I am standing so strong,
‘Cause I have the spirit deep within me.
My legs are numb,
Yet I am standing so strong,
‘Cause I have the spirit deep within me.
Go beyond the impossible,
And kick reason to the curb.
Don’t believe in yourself (don’t deceive with belief);
Believe in the me that believes in you.
Your legs are numb,
But you are standing so strong,
‘Cause you got the spirit deep within you.
Your legs are numb,
But you are standing so strong,
‘Cause you got the spirit deep within you.

What To Do

Thought I lost everything in the flood,
Then I found a picture of our love.
We were in the park where we met.
I fell down and silently wept.
I knew I could be something great,
Even in spite of fate.
Only if I had another muse
Besides this old picture of you.
I don't know what to do
At the sight of you.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do
At the sight of you,
At the sight of you.
But then I realize I have my friends;
I have to stand beside them.
Have to be there when they pass out,
To put the caps back on their 40-ounce.
Now I know what to do
At the sight of you.
Now I know what to do.
Now I know what to do
At the sight of you,
At the sight of you.
