Don’t want to be unwanted that’s what you want Or rather be not wanted, at all You say you’re empty and your soul is scorn You waste your time, watching porn In the morning, In the morning, morning Too many coffee, cigarettes Thrill your thrills, boost your confidence Blink yourself when you comb your hair Five steps to clear the air In the morning, in the morning, morning Read the truth on the internet Save energy for your pet Seven steps to better health Eighteen ways to increase your wealth In the morning, in the morning, morning You don’t know what you got until it’s gone You don’t know what you got until it’s gone Sell your soul to buy a new believe Buy happiness to kill your grief Thirteen ways to read a magazine About million ways to become a beauty queen Black and blue is the new green Forty something, the new teen Exercise is a therapy Rock & Roll is an old believe In the morning, in the morning, morning

I’ve been minor, I’ve been a major There’s no excuse for my behavior The way I let you down The way I hang my head My constant frown The things I’ve said Now there’s nothing left to say There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m sick of our endless conversations There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m saved by my own contemplation There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m saved, I’m saved You’ve been a minor, you’ve been a major My demon and savior Sometimes been blind The demons I’ve fed Can’t speak my mind The things I’ve said Now there’s nothing left to say There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m sick of our fucked up conversations There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m saved by my own contemplation There’s no need for you to rescue me I’m saved, I’m saved

Solitude 04:15
Stillborn ideas Never reach your ears Words that fade Fall in the shade Burn the fallen leaves My sorrow and grief Won’t mend this bleeding heart Torn and scarred And tears keep falling Can’t hear you calling anymore Burn your dead believes Cursed opportunities The everlasting sleep Promises to keep Behold the faded face Memory to trace Down a dotted lane Sustaining the pain And tears keep falling You stopped calling Long time ago

The man said it’s all one song Now I try to pick and strum along My guitar sings for me And I sing for you Write a song or two When I’m feeling blue I’m the clown Out down town Try to mingle Hate being single I’m the fool In the pool Full of people With elegance I’m looking for my confidence I’m looking for you

Stalker 03:11
The smell of your hair reminds me Of a melancholy movie While your smile A fiction itself Trying to force myself Being more than spectator Finding it hard to do For myself Keeping my admiration With me like a secret My passion becomes A self-inflicted pain This is why I I can’t look you in the eye When we make love In my head (It burns, it burns) Look in your face descends me Into spiral Losing my sense For time and place Trying calm, myself Facing your presence Directed by man A fiction himself

Shandy says 04:36
If I could have some, you would have some too You look so handsome in those silver shoes If I could have some, you would have some too You look so handsome yeah! Baby you Shandy says she loves Little more than hugs She’s been getting enough From the lord above If I could have some, you would have some too You look so handsome in those silver shoes If I could have some, you would have some too You look so handsome yeah! Baby you Shandy says she’s fine As long as she has a line And partner in crime To show her a good time

I met a roly-poly candidate Who asked me for a vote Promised me a better life For the week and the poor I said, “let’s form a legal syndicate” To unite the people of this world Invest in parity For the capitalist and the whore He said “that ain’t nuthin” While he was laughing, and coughing Stuffing his face with food and wine All dressed up, feeling fine I met an independent film maker Asked me for some dough Promised a prosperity For me and my family I said, “let’s shoot a documentary” About the rich and the poor Show folks the disparity From the gutter and the tor He said “that ain’t nuthin” While he was laughing, and coughing Stuffing his face with food and wine All dressed up, feeling fine
