4) Why Go
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child
Won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years and counting
Since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck
And mommy agrees yeah
Whoa yeah hey yeah
Why go home (x3)
She seems to be stronger
But what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend she could join the game boy
She could be another clone
Ooh whoa ah yeah

Don't come visit mother
Sing it

5) Black
Hey ooh
Sheets of empty canvas untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the
sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh and all I taught her was everything
Ooh I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter so why do I sear
Ooh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning oh I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see all that I am all I'll be yeah
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a
star
In somebody else's sky but why why why can't it be a can't it be
mine
Oh...ohh yea oh
Do do do do do do do (x20 total)
Yeaa...Yeaa...ha
Ha (x6)

6) Jeremy
At home drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top
Lemon yellow sun arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked oh ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (x2)
Clearly how I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin' ooh dropped wide open
Just like the day oh like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection no
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked ooh ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (x3)
Woo (x14)
Try to forget this...try to forget this
Try to erase this...try to erase this
From the blackboard

7) Oceans
Hold on to the thread the currents will shift
Glide me towards you know something's left
And we're all allowed to dream of the next
Oh ohh the next time we touch
Oooh (x3)
You don't have to stray the oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts hold tight the ring
The sea will rise please stand by the shore
Oh oh oh I will be
I will be there once more
Oooh... (x3)
Uh huh...oh (x2)
8) Porch
What the fuck is this world running to you didn't
Leave a message at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield this could be my time by you
Would you hit me (x2)
Ohh...whoa oww
All the bills go by and initiatives are taken up
By the middle there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch (x2)
Oh...Hear my name take a good look this could be the day
Hold my hand walk beside me I just need to say
Uh huh..uh huh yea uh huh...uh huh yea uh huh
Oh hear my name take a good look this could be the day
Hold my hand lie beside me I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know when I would not ever touch you
Hold you feel you in my arms never again
Yeah (x12)
9) Garden
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here she
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here
The direction of the eye so misleading
The defection of the soul nauseously quick
I don't question our existence
I just question our modern needs
She don't wander in here don't wander in here she
She don't wander in here
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk with my face blood
I will walk with my shadow flag
Into your garden garden of stone yeah
After all is done and we're still alone
I won't be taken yet I'll go with my hands bound

Into your garden garden of stone yeah

I don't know I don't care
I don't need yeah for me to live yeah...yeah
Uh huh huh (x8)
10) Deep
Ahha-yea
On the edge a windowsill
Ponders his maker ponders his will
To the street below he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view and he sinks the needle deep yeah
Whoa can't touch the bottom
In too deep yeah uh-huh can't touch the bottom
Ooh on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior the age had come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view and he sinks the burning mask deep yeah
Ooh can't touch the bottom
In too deep yeah uh huh can't touch the bottom in too deep
Ohh... Ohhh
Oww
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin down from heaven ohh visiting hell
To the man above her she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (x2)
But he sinks himself deep oh can't touch the bottom
In too deep yeah oh can't touch the bottom can't touch the bottom
Deep yeah
Oh...yeah the bottom...yeah...wo (x5)
