Butterflies
02:34
|
|||
Oh, butterflies in my stomach
Butterflies when I walk to you
Butterflies make my body plummet
I fall right to your shoes
There's pasta on your head
Cuz you got angel hair
Your body's young and pretty
Your skin looks soft and fair
Wanna talk to you and feel you
I'm paralyzed, I'm not sure why
But then I feel that tingle
And I know it's butterflies
Chorus
Start itching when I'm near ya
Wolf under a full moon
Everything inside me
Just broke out of its cocoon
By the playground, my emotions
Burst by the billions
Seeing your pigtails, my tummy
Could be a whole pavilion
Chorus
It's hard to see you every day
Cuz I can't come out and play
I was told I have to stay
At least a hundred fifty feet away
Chorus x2

Oh! Allison
02:09

Oh! Allison, you left too soon
I didn't get to tell you how I really feel yeah
Allison, come back to me
So I can let you know that my love was real yeah
Never thought I'd know a
Girl with such an aura
Steely eyes of a cobra that drew me in
Thought the night sky, the moon or
Stars, something lunar
Would tell me to meet you sooner but it didn't
Oh! Allison you left too soon
You hopped into your car and then you drove away yeah
Allison I may've asked you out
But once you were gone I didn't know what else to say
Never thought I'd meet a
Girl with such features
Say one wrong thing, she'da knocked me out
I kept my lips in line
Kept my nose to the grind
I was working overtime all to taste her mouth
Hard to believe she's gone, we
Didn't deserve this quandary
The thought of her is staying on me like a tattoo
No I never kissed her
I missed being her mister
Though I ended up dating her sister, don't let that distract you
No, no, no, N-Oh!
Allison, you left too soon
I didn't get to tell you how I really feel yeah
Allison, come back to me
So I can let you know that my love was real yeah
Allison... Oh! Allison
Allison you left too soon

Obnoxious Heart
03:31

Obnoxious heart
You hurt so bad
You make me cry, I'm sad
Obnoxious heart
You run my world
Why can't I date my own girl?
Obnoxious heart
Put your feelings 'fore mine
It's my body, I'm fine
Obnoxious heart
You've heard my plea
Now for God's sake get out of me
Silly boy
You aren't a man
Without me, you'd have no plan
Silly boy
Walk to my beat
You're in my class now take a seat
Silly boy
I'll teach you love
Disobey, and in plain view there will be blood
Silly boy
With all that flack
It may build up and I'll attack
Obnoxious heart
The words you preach
Are meant to hurt and not to teach
Obnoxious heart
Fall behind
I'd like to catch up with my mind
Wise young man
As you said
Listen to me: the voice in your head
Wise young man
You have a brain
And understand your heart's inane
Wise young man
I'm all you need
Plus your heart may let you bleed
Wise young man
Take that knife
Remove your heart and take his life
Obnoxious heart, he is no more
From the hole inside my body on the floor
Demonic mind, you're in my head
I'm above... I see my kitchen tiles running red...

CruciFix Us
03:34
|
|||
I got a friend named Christian
He's got no religion like me
But he's forced by his parents
To go to church, apparently
We're some kinda people you can boss around
We're ones who need to find the path
Don't try to lead us onto holy ground
Don't try to wash us in your Sabbath
You can try as much as you want to
You can try as much as you wish
Hopefully no holy spirit will haunt you
Cuz we can't be cruci-fixed
Now isn't that ironic?
Christian ain't Christian and Ronoc just ain't...
We don't worship the Holy Father
I guess that shows I'm not a saint
So put down the nails and giant crosses
So what if our eyes don't meet?
Just goes to show you ain't our bosses
Just stick to what you wanna believe
Chorus
Man, don't wanna think about Jesus and God
Man, I need no reason why I'm alive
Only Nazareth I care about's the 'Hair of the Dog'
Band back in 1975
Chorus
Oh no no cruci-fixed
Can't be cruci-fixed
Cruci-Fixed

We Ride at Midnight
01:55
|
|||
We ride at midnight
Until the break of dawn
We ride at midnight
Until we see the sun
And we won't come home until the battle's won
Until we win the fight
We ride at midnight
We ride at midnight
Means midnight's when we start
We ride at midnight
Tearing the countryside apart
And we won't leave home until it's pitch dark
Then we'll be out of sight
We ride at midnight
We ride at midnight
Unless you want to stay home
We ride at midnight
I'll be fine out on my own
Under the cool desert moon, sand dry as a bone
I think I'll be alright
I ride at midnight

Abuser
03:43
|
|||
I walk among the two dozen twenty-one year olds
Wondering how I could just get you and me alone
When our eyes meet I keep a shy, sweet smile on
Stalking you like nylon, not stopping till I get what I want
I'm the ruler of my own little world
But a loser in a public hell
I can ruin Daddy's little girl
An abuser, but you can never tell
I'm your temptation, I'm not pretend but your mind's made up
Cuz what's in your cup is helping me with my mental manipulation
Make you darker when I'm on ya; bronzer to a platinum blonde, it's
Not often ya encounter a monster from your skeleton's closet
May be true when you say I made a big mess
Of you, sure your life's a living hell
I may have ruined Daddy's little princess
An abuser that you know so well
You just couldn't tell
Until it was too late
After only two dates
I didn't want to wait
'Baby it's just me
You know you can trust me
This is love, it must be'
Then after I come to
I leave you in the dust, 'Do you
Really think I loved you?'

When the Bed's Empty
04:28
|
|||
We had a home in the countryside on the greenest grasses
We had a toddler and two tabby cats
That's when our love was strongest but that was 7 years ago
Now it's clear as crystal our love's fallen flat
I don't know where the time went
But the sands of time eroded us
I know I meant less to you than you meant to me
Now my head's erased of all the outside times we had
I can't remember the times when the bed was empty
Our light was brightest when our smiles were wider
The times we drove for miles were indeed the best
We used to stroll through fields and meander the meadows
Those times ended abruptly... who could've guessed?
I don't know where the time went
But some time along I fell asleep, so
If you gotta wake me this time please wake me gently
Now my head's in an amnesic state
All the good times we had are gone
I can't remember any times when the bed was empty
SOLO
I don't know where the time went
But some thing made you change your mind
The split didn't hurt me on the outside just mentally
Now my head's stained with heart-shaped tears
My sheets are stained with sin cuz girl
I can't recall the times when the bed's empty

Crazy'd Raise Crazy
03:10
|
|||
I don't want a baby cuz they'd be crazy like me
A maniac manic mini-me
Would leave me panic-stricken, the
Idea simply gives me anxiety
Cuz crazy'd raise crazy
And nobody wants more of
Crazy'd raise crazy
I'd say one me's enough
I ain't cut out for fatherhood so no kid would do me good at all
Self-proclaimed dumbass, pervert, weird
Dude whose true use is [insert here]
Can't be a dad if I'm too self-involved
Chorus
On the contrary, kids are the best
When it's not up to you whether they become a mess
I was lucky to have a dad that taught me shit
Like that he was a dick which made me the opposite
Maybe I'm too cynical or it's just a lack of bravery but
Either way I don't wanna run the risk of birthing a child that's crazy
Chorus x2

What's Wrong With Me?
03:24
|
|||
My friends are out having a good time without me
Behind my back I know they're talking about me
They're asking why it takes me so much time
To build up strength to get over my mind
Something there is pushing my body away
From the good time I'd be having if I went out to play
What's wrong with me? I hate how I'm so dull
Eating through the friendly piece of my skull
Screams ring through my head cuz I'm a coward
Walk into a funhouse and my mood's soured
Sitting 'gainst the wall with my ass on the floor
Didn't know I wanted to leave till I came through the door
Waiting for the herd to thin but they keep coming
Could be having as much fun as my thoughts which are running
What's wrong with me? This feeling's never occurred
I'm shocked but 'shock' to me is just another ock-word
Like the sun is going down
My reality's set in
Self-doubt is proudly gouging at me
Leading to a dead end
Questions arise, getting a rise
Out of my XL skin
School of bad thoughts, I'm ready to expel them
Oh yeah
What's wrong with me? I'm unlike the usual
Versus my brain, the feeling ain't mutual
What's wrong with me? I'm a fucking weirdo
Why the hell am I so fucking weird, OH
