Was an honest worker, yes he was Didn’t have a family He would wait all day for his command Till he lost his only friend I thought I knew him But I was mistaken, yeah He is not my brother He is not my friend When the time has come to go back home Back to your families Hope it can go back to the way it was When life was easy I thought I knew home But I was mistaken, yeah I am not your brother I am not your friend What a way to wake up once again When the sun is shining Hope I can go back to sleep and then Find myself in hiding I found a new home Till I was awakened, yeah I am undercovers I am out of breath I thought I knew home Till I was awakened, yeah I am not your brother I am not your friend

You’re the biggest waste of time I’ve ever met, no that’s a lie Cuz 20 hours in a day Is not enough to get away You’re the only one I need But you’re the only one in need You’re the only one in need You’re the cause of every pain The sooner you can run away From dirty dollars, dirty deeds It’s not enough to make it clean You’re the only one I need But you’re the only one in need You’re the only one in need Just tell me how to make it right Cuz if I could I’d take all night But if I told you what to do Would you even follow through? You’re the only one I need But you’re the only one in need You’re the only one in need You’re the only one I need But you’re the only one in need

The undertaker in the afternoon, what a scene He breaks the silence with his beckoning What a sight to see But I’ll run away, and I’ll stay Stay away from you The ocean liner on the open sea, bustling She drops her cargo to the ocean floor What a waste of time And I’ll stay away, but I’ll stay Stay awake with you Don’t make me stay with anyone Don’t make me speak to anyone Don’t make me live with anyone Cuz I’ll make believe you’re anyone else And I’ll stay Stay away from you But I’ll stay Stay awake with you

Was the strangest thing that happened to me Never thought that it would make a fool of me As I stood beside the open window I was waiting for a voice and then I saw her In all her wonder And then I saw her In all her wonder I was sitting in the chair for hours Slowly dripping little poison through my veins From the distance I could see the mountains I was waiting for a voice and then I saw her In all her wonder And then I saw her In all her wonder In all her wonder In all her wonder

Cut me open and I’ll turn white Cut me open and I’ll turn away What kind of mother wouldn’t wanna watch the sun shine? What kind of mother would let her son die? What kind of mother would let her son die? Split me open now I’m black and blue What a way to be awakened in time Leave me waiting in an empty room While the residue is drying inside While the residue is dying inside Rip me open and I’ll run dry Leave me hanging on the telephone line Turn my fingers to a plastic wire If it lingers I don’t feel for awhile While it lingers I won’t feel for awhile Cut me open now I’m 24 Every hour I’m awake for one more What kind of mother wouldn’t wanna watch the sun shine? What kind of mother would let her son die? What kind of mother would let her son die? The kind of mother that would watch her son rise The kind of mother that I want to be mine The kind of mother that I want to be mine

I am sitting stately in a pentagon Waiting for my vitals to return I am taking patience for a spin again Hoping to remain another hour Oh well I lost another batch of cells Oh well I fought another battle I am dripping slowly from a plastic bag Waiting to absorb another poison I am taking liquids to relieve myself Hoping to retain a second cycle Oh well I lost another night of sleep Oh well I found another needle I am growing backwards in the mirror again Waiting to receive another symptom I am pulling levers to reveal myself Hoping for a chance to get on TV Oh well I lost another patch of hair Oh well I lost another tangle I am ringing slightly in my ears all day Hearing every scream and high pitch whisper I am wearing headphones to replace myself Hoping to erase another sister Oh well I lost another frequency Oh well I gained another vital I am singing softly in a hospital Trying to remain a silent patient I am humming whispers to my phone again Hoping to forget another sorrow Oh well I lost another melody Oh well I gained a new tomorrow Oh well I lost another memory Oh well I gained a new tomorrow
