Lyrics - Lim

All the string, I put into my pocket
Wraps around my finger but you got it all
tangled in a knot around your body

And every time I tell myself
to reel it back in - I try
I cry because I know I can't win
this game, I'm ashamed of my stupid thoughts

So tell me something I don't know
I'm stuck in this rut with no rabbit's hole
in sight ...na na na right?

(You've got to)
You've got to unwind now
And take it down and out (take it down and out)
You've got to unwind now and let the tears pour down
You've got to unwind now and lose that ball of string (You've got to)
You've got to unwind now but dont tie that string to me

[Second verse, same as the first!]

Lyrics - Lim

Bright red signs will point the way
where thousands have been to everyday
and i dont want to go there
i see the trees behind the glass
but are they real you never ask or you'll be let down
be let down by me

but no one ever tells me what's around the bend

Pretty pictures in a bag
I watch with eyes glazed over as the cars roll by
I'm in the backseat i have no say
the tank is full on empty brains
but I don't complain
I don't complain not at all

But no one ever tells me what's around the bend
from the corner of my eye I see there's nothing left

Take warning or you'll never hear from me again
Cause Im stranded on a highway

I'm on a journey into the night
its fast and its amusing but it isn't mine
I'm in the back seat I have no say
the tank is full on empty brains
but i dont complain
don't complain not at all

Lyrics - Teller

walkin' rollin' feelin' blue
across the street I think of you
up and down and through the room
there's not much to see thru my view
why should I be unfairly crossed
its not my fault that I'm so lost
can't afford what it'll cost
after all the love we brought

lemme take you on a ride the el rey's just a walk away
but you'll still hate me so cuz its so hard to explain

and if you knew what i was trying to say to you

you wouldn't be with that (      ) dude

it'll take a lot to make you famous in my eyes
you know what you'll give up to face the big surprise
you're taking from yourself what can't be helpful to your health
so let my borrow back my heart so I can just survive

jets are streamin' thru the sky
the bright night light it hurts my eyes
its so big you wonder why
but its just a cliche gone awry
I'll just talk I can't abide
funny to chill and watch fun fly
still the blues don't pass me by
so good, it must be a lie

Lyrics - Teller

I wrote a song about you
Far from yourself you left me in the dust
I wrote my life around you
Past the start there could never be an us

so just shut your mouth
I don't wanna hear no more
just leave me alone
my glass is full of your senseless reason

life has flipped you up
down and out - out of my thoughts
I'm a sick puppy with ADD
you're a sad kitty, dropped

but why do I always talk to your friends
instead of just going up to you
maybe its cuz you're so cool
but maybe its the way you look in dark blue

so I wrote a song about you
far from yourself you left me in the dust
i wrote my life around you
but its not Anna interrupting us
no its not Anna interrupting us

Lyrics - Lim/Estrada

The riots on holiday
and nothing you do can make us douse the flames
3 piece suits will pave the land
but we'll burn on through while your heads in the sand

and if nothing comes between us for never and a day
we'll rewrite the endings
don't you rain on my parade

gotta say gotta say gotta say that its over
won't you tell it to my face

4 kids on our own
and we're not listening to what you got to say
we've got a life to lead
and we dont really need your poison anymore

Lyrics - Lim

She called me back on Saturday
for the message I left a month ago
and she said "Life is getting rough"
and she said, she wants to drop off my stuff

so I hung up the phone and I hung up my head
I took a shower but the feeling of dread was still there
and i cant believe shes not there-
no i can't believe that shes gone

My friends they tell me that shes way out of my league
But i don't care at all, 'cause when you

Look at me once, Look at me twice
send me one word, give me one night
no i wont give up without a fight
so just look at me once, Look at me twice
send me one word, give me one night
a girl like you extroadinary with a guy like me so desperately yours

I left my 15th message today
she screens her but i have something to say
'cause theres a fire burning today
and i'm up in the smoke
but the words they burned inside my throat
cause my heart has reached a brand new low and
my mind had found a new revenge
and i'm pulling myself out of this train wreck

I heard she'd die before she was ever seen with me
well i would die for her

[sick fuckin' rap]
Hey there napoleon got battles in my mind i want to start
think your something special that will tear my heart apart
spit it with your tongue i never been so sure that your
rivers and the waterfalls will turn red with your remorse
got a signal for the wrong way, turn it up to the highway
your engines will never get started by me
dont ask another question, i'll let you choose your weapon
please tell my folks at my home they have one less kid to feed.
You got a second tune, you got your special one
your jokes will all be old and the lessons will be told
as one we stand together underneath the sky-
its a beautiful and im just waiting for my ride

My friends they tell me that shes way out of my league...

Lyrics - Teller

staring straight ahead
faced crushed like a soda can
but we all march ahead in your head
too caught up to see whats going on
eyelids can't be lifted
from your sleepless nights
but why do you insist
on keeping at a losing fight

falling for the sound so soon
so soon the blackness is broken
you could hear what i said
if i hadn't already spoken-

flip on over
to the cool side of the pillow
go and slip away to a place
that i can quickly understand
but its too hard to get to
and just makes more feedback hum
so just give it another frown
and again and again its six and one

falling for the sound so soon
so soon from my sight the blackness is broken
you could hear what i said (what i said)
if i hadn't already spoken-

go turn over
and pull the shield over your head
stay away so far away
away from popular demand
but sooner or late
your cover'll be blown and gone
so just smile up ahead
and again and again its six and one

Lyrics - Lim

I don't wanna be on the cover of Spin magazine
glossy pages advertising candy coated rock 'zines
all of that hype didn't do shit to me
i'm making lots of money cuz i'm marketing for cheap
selling outs not a problem if you do it with dignity

my god there's nothing left to do
knowing you was fun but now i'm getting older

i will meet you there on the radio dial
come and meet me there on the radio dial
and I know that you know I won't leave without you
don't pretend i'll go without you
i will meet you there on the radio dial

i still got anarchy taped on the side of my limosine
i'm still political cuz i listen to rage against the machine
the songs that i sing don't mean much to me
if you say shit then i'll call you naive
gimme a mic and i'll unite the whole world under me
just u see

everybodys looking up to me
but i'm still the same because i got my values

Lyrics - Lim

I've got a message
but you dont seem to understand when i say its for you
you got a light?
so i could show you how theres no one here but me
The parties over - mines just begun so finish your story
the words that i ate - I'm wide awake with another selfish dream

don't want you to say... your sorry...

'cause you could say that you're the only way
I want to spend a sunday morning
but any day you want to kill some time with me
don't leave me lonely

because im sick of hearing apologies
so just ask me please
and i'll tell you
tell you now

I have my guess
but what I need is another couple weeks
this isn't the season
to doubt my reason or to second-guess beliefs
I know you thinking
my blood is trickling cause the cold is sinking in
My pride is waning
but things are changing and I dont want to give in

Lyrics - Lim

Some may die with the sunrise
the impact of the hammer never fades
Boats will hit the eastern shore
my fingers in the air to test the breeze

And will you be the one with the courage to reach
will you take my hand and we'll stare down the sun today

The trampled feed the ocean green
i'd like to come and tell you how i feel
there's turmoil in the wind today
the current last without a cause to yield

And will you take up the arms of the thousands regime
or will you stand your guard with the music machine
becuse the icy cold cigar has no sympathy

For me-
cause i can't find the words to set me free
the air is so thin and no one's ever taught me how to breathe

Quiet as the hills are dead
i walk around so silent i can't hear
the steps you take, with nerves you break
like the firecracker aimed at my worst fear

And will you be the one with the courage to reach
will you take my hand and we'll stare down the sun today

Cause i can't find the words to set me free
the air is so thin and no one's ever taught me how to breathe

And will you take up the arms of the thousands regime
or will you stand your guard with the music machine
because the icy cold cigar has no sympathy

For me-
cause i can't find the words to set me free
the air is so thin and no one's ever taught me how to breathe

Lyrics - Teller

hey look at me
i can be creative
thom's not the only one
who can play crazy chords
i can make weird noises too
but why won't you look at me
i'll be the lead singer
i'll learn to make the media want me
i can be just like Thom
see i'm introverted
don't give interviews
who looks british now

disregarding the other four's easy
the media f*cks it up
its a tough life to lead being artsy
but still Thommy does the job

come on look at me
i'll be antisocial
the other guys
can be left behind
if i act quiet and pensive
and sing off rhythm and key
will you put me on the cover then
i can blow off all the questions they ask me
just like Senor T
taking the credit
5 minutes of drowning
who's the rock star now

Lyrics - Lim/Estrada

I wish that i could be there with you
everyday, but you've got your excuse
and i wish that you please don't walk away
all the time cause time moves so slowly
cause i'm in my own world
from behind the glass i can see the smiles
of the passerby's, they're pacing down the Blvd.
see my reflection in the window
i don't care if i see nothing
casue i'm content with the way that i'm dying

And i'll watch the world around me pass me by
And i'll watch the world around me pass me by (fly me by)

I've got my island my isolation
in my ocean and the carnage doesn't reach me here
i'll take those gifts and opportunities
that you denied me and i'll throw them in the water
you know i thought that you'd be there
under my porchlight every summer afternoon
when the days lasted longer
but i guess it's too late
it turns out that you left meon the pavement
your back is turned and you're laughing away

And i'll watch the world around me pass me by
And i'll watch the world around me pass me by (fly me by)

I wish that i could be there with you everyday
but you've got your excuse
cause i'm in my own world
from behind the glass i can see the smiles of the passerby's
they're backs are turned and you're laughing away

And i'll watch the world around me pass me by
and i'll watch the world around me pass me by (fly me by)

Lyrics - Lim

Got your pen and your guitar
someone's got a brand new car
need a dosage of intellect
but all in all a social wreck
all you want is sympathy
but all you spread is apathy
ate the key to your ball and chain
shoved a knife straight through your brain

and you ask me to tell you
all the things that have come undone
but what about you
what about you
