I found a bunch of notes I took in Kindergarden
Holy fucking shit the colors and the shapes
The world is beautiful we just forgot to shut our mouths
And listen for a minute
I found a picture of myself I drew when I was 17 years old
How terrible to see the way I saw myself
When I had no regrets and no responsibilities

Both hands on the wheel
Three more days to go
I heard god caught a cold
And it would not go away
I thought I should be home
And I felt like I should stay
February skies
Falling down on me
I held my head up high
But I could not catch a break
Old familiar roads
Could set me back in place
Both hands on the wheel
Three more days to go
I heard god caught a cold
And it would not go away
To see him on his back
Put fear upon my face
To see you on your back...

Electric Chair
03:56
|

So we gave our lives up to god when we were young
And he threw them back like fish that were too small
So we never knew what it was like to feel called
So we hung our heads and decided
"This is life from now on..."
Yes I know the world don't care
If I ever come back from there
I built my own electric chair
And now it's time to sit for just a while
So I found the body, found the blood, and found out what they mean
I found there's not a chance in hell for a sinning man like me
So I did my best to justify and I did my best to find
Some holy voice inside my head and trust it as my guide
Yes I know the world don't care
If I ever come back from there
I built my own electric chair
And now it's time to sit for just a while
So we gave our lives up to god when we were young
And he threw them back like fish that were too small

Box

I want to box you
Cause I want a story to tell all the grandkids
A scar on my face I can name
That says "I am not the same."
I want to race you
Cause I want to know
What it fells like to push myself
Hard as I think I can go
And still come up broken
Maybe we're changed and maybe we're changing
Your fist my face your place or mine
Cause home is a place that doesn't exist the way we remember
As hard as you can
I promise that I will not be fine
I want to box you
Cause I want to know
What it feels like when everything
Inside my body can't take anymore and lets go
When I hit the bottom I'll tell it that you said hello

There's teeth inside my head
That I won't ever see
Yea time's a funny thing.
When you're older
He took his pound of flesh
But he won't let me be
Yea God's a funny thing
When you're older
To want the world for her
Instead of for myself
Yea love's a funny thing
When you're older

Just enough to be numb
But not enough to be okay
What does happiness take?
It isn't easy
I know
Just enough to fall asleep
But not enough to have a dream
My mind is listless as the sea
When it just wants to lay
Still and unafraid
Oh I am terrified of every moment spent alone inside my head
Oh I am hatching up a scheme to pull myself out of this bed
And see what's next
Just enough to check out
But not enough to get back home
My mind is somewhere on the road
Thumbing for a ride
Please let him inside
Just enough to be numb
But not enough to be okay
What does happiness take?
It isn't easy
I know

God Turned His Head
04:21

Drinking again
'Cause good news never lasts
Good news never lasts too long
And we waited on your front porch
For the rain that never came
And we put out our hands
And made demands
And God just laughed
And turned his head
Clouds hang low
And give our thirsty hearts some hope
But rain never comes
And all our schemes remain undone
And we waited on your front porch
For the rain that never came
And we put out our hands
And made demands
And God just laughed
And turned his head

Speak to Me
04:05
|
|||
I spoke these lines and then
Called your name again
I swear you answered once
Or did I just pretend?
To hear some kind of voice
To feel like I could be forgiven
I don't want to waste my life
Just wandering the empty depths
Obsessing over pretty words
To someday be my epitaph
I acknowledge and accept
The bitter-sweetest thing is
Every mark I bleed to leave
Will be erased with time
To take in my next breath
Or drink myself to death?
Surrendering to outrageous fortune
And might I ask for what?
The slings and arrows
For what dreams might be left
So speak to me and I'll believe again
I'll take back all the stupid things I said
I just wanna feel the way I felt
When I was sure that there was someone in control

I saw you in a cross hair
We took hold and released again
I picked you from a lineup
A soul that I might recognize
Some electrical shock in your eyes
We hung out on the weekend
Your hair was softer than animal fur
I did not believe in love anymore
'Til you stole the fear from my spine
And put back the stars in the sky
I'm sorry for what I am
there's not much money in sad songs and poetry
Or rant's about Radiohead's rock and roll dominance
No matter how true they might be
No matter how right I might be
