16-17
(Witwer)

She plays the way and you don’t know her at all
A familiar kiss, you press your fingers in ‘er
She takes a pull, you roll your eyes back into your head
And rolls some green and send her packin
You don’t know how right you feel Ms. White Girl
The minutes pass and you feel hungry again
So you hit the gas to find your lady friend
A present bliss she blows the new john a kiss
Your eyes become your eyes become wet
I did not know pain til just this moment
I did not know I could feel like this
16-17, I’m protecting alabaster prom queen A maid
A woman 18 never made me feel like this or feel like that
And you’ll find out if you do that
She wants a place to stay
So you take your penis from her mouth
And make my day
Now I’m gonna deal with you Jack
Jack you in the back of the hat with a baseball bat
(the john is dead)
You’ve won the girl, but she don’t speak anymore
Wouldja tell me your name? Cuz you got the blood
on your hands now
Gimme a smile. Ya better give me something
Cuz I could give you
A punch in the face or a slap on the ass
You know I’ve waited so long, over the years
Cried so many tears and now you’re here
So la la-lala la lala – la la la lala lala – la lala
16-17, I’m protecting alabaster prom queen A maid
A woman 18 never made me feel like this or feel like that
And you’ll find out if you do that
She wants a place to stay
So you take your penis from her mouth
And make my day
Now I’m gonna deal with you Jack
Jack you in the back of the hat with a baseball bat
It rubs the lotion on its skin, it does this whenever it’s told
Put the fucking lotion in the basket
You are nothing to me
I’m so happy

Alone
(Witwer)

I know you are real
I close my eyes to the others
Cuz I’ve made a promise, I’ll stay here
I’m alone
All that I am – I’ve made so I would deserve you
You may never know, but I believe
I’m for you
Sometimes I see it clearly
A fleeting feeling
A life that I may never have with you
And if this faith betrays me, will I regret this
Life lived alone looking for you
Was it lost before we met, still I can’t forget
I miss you
And do you feel the same, or do I fool myself
I miss you
I’m alone

Below
(Witwer/Hirstius/Hibben)

Drowning in a sea of frustration
A thing of painful elation
All this for what
I don’t remember the good times
I just remember the bad times
As seen for what it was
Will she show me the way I need to go
Will she save me the pain that awaits below
Wading in a pool of my own tears
Shunted pain from my dead years
Tell me it’s changed
I don’t remember the good times
I just remember the bad times
As seen for what it was
I’m drinkin pain for my crimes
That I commit on my own time
As seen for what it was
Will she show me the way I need to go
Will she save me the pain that awaits below
Where am I going, what am I feeling
Why does my pain feel so good
Where am I going, what am I feeling
And my pain’s understood
Swallow your pain in your hunger for pride
No matter what it takes
Forget what part of you that has died
Rot in your sorrow for what you think is happiness
And I’ll be happy to see you in your loneliness
Will she show me the way I need to go
Will she save me the pain that awaits below
When am I going, what am I feeling
Why does my pain feel so good
When am I going, what am I feeling
And my pain’s understood

Black Dress
(Witwer/Hirstius)

You. You are my special person
I. Need not know what your name is
Drive. Follow my need to find you
Cry. Weeping beside your grave
Love. I was too late to taste you
Breathe. Kissing the ground you sleep in
Pain. Tasting my tears in the grass
Dream. Touching you in your black dress
And I’ll stay with you – whispering little nothings
That will melt the snow off of your stone house
And I’ll pray for you – even though I’m godless
Are you coming home

If what we have is nothing
Then I can never lose you
Nothing can last forever
And it’s forever now

Speak. I swear I almost hear you cry
Warm breath from empty lips
Breathe. I’ll breathe with you my last breath
Please. I will give everything
And I’ll stay with you – whispering little nothings
That will melt the ice from your frozen soul
And I’ll pray for you. And for you to take me
I am coming home

If what we have is nothing
Then I can never lose you
Nothing can last forever
And it’s forever now

Forgotten
(Witwer)

Layin down on the floor of my apartment
I play with the shattered glass in my hand
I stare at the pieces, they’re so pretty
I find that they cut my fingers
Layin in shattered pieces of what was possible
I find that my heart is broken
And I meant you no harm, but I had to break this
Was already cutting me
I’m glad I made my choice
Free. Ask me for time, leave you behind
You’d never really be there
And I’d have my half-pleasure of a half-girl half-friend
Rebound to me – can I have your number
And I’ll be damned if I ever call again
You said you wouldn’t fuck with me
And you were right – we never made love
Have you forgotten
I did everything for you
And I find I miss you
And I’ll never admit this to you
Have you forgotten
I tried so hard for you
In my dreams we’re happy
I still want to be close to you
You said you had my back
Pain. Lyin awake, thinking of
You never really cared for me, yet
Every day you couldn’t bear to be without me
Juts who do you think you are
I was fine til you entered my life, you
Wanted me to love you
And I’m glad that you’ve gone away
Lookin into the glass I see your face
Layin down on the floor of my apartment
I play with the shattered glass in my hands
I’m turning the pieces, you’re so pretty
I find that you’ve cut my fingers
Will you forget me
I wanna know that I maybe mattered
Do you have trouble sleeping
Do you think about me
Have you forgotten me?

Gentleman Caller
(Witwer)

Hey there. I’ve only come to learn your name
And I was wondering if you’d help me
Put an end to the game
Sophie, you say
Well could you go for a milkshake?
And maybe we could talk and get to know each other
So tell me. What do you think of your life now
Well could it be any better if, perhaps, you had someone
Maybe that’s me. You never know until you try
So why don’t you come home with me tonight
Bitch slut
You’re only good for me to bust a nut
I’m gonna put you in the ground, whore
And maybe then a little skull fuck
Bitch slut
I think it’s time I said enough’s enough
You got a motherfuckin attitude. So if you wanna live
Give it up (give the muff)
Let me show you what I am used to
I won’t take this. I know what I am
I deserve much more, that’s why I have expectations
The world’s turned upside down
And nice guys turn into booty thieves
And it’s all because of you and your kind
And your kind
Oh excuse me, I dunno what came over me
I’m really upset and misunderstood
Take my hand and help me get better
You see I’m not such a bad guy deep down inside so
Why don’t you come and find out
Bitch slut
You’re only good for me to bust a nut
Tonight I’ll treat you like an asswhore
And you’ll know you’ll be back for more
Bitch slut
You’re the reason that nice guys turn into me
Nice guys to into me
(even now your creamy white shoulders are aching for the lash)
I won’t take this. I know what I am
I deserve much more, that’s why I have expectations
The world’s turned upside down
And nice guy’s turn into booty thieves
And it’s all because of you and your kind
And your kind

If I Could
(Hibben/Hirstius/Witwer)

It’s a painful thing to admit this
I’m nothing more than you see
Why do you insist to stay with me?
What am I to you?
Can it be true?
Break it down for me sister
Cuz I will
Fuck it up. All I do is fuck it up
And then I will cry. And then I will cry
This patience you afford me
I don’t know that I’m worth it
You insist that I can play your game. Yeah
And I’m sorry to disappoint you
I’m so sorry to disappoint you
I’ll save you the suspense
I’m not the man you need me to be
I won’t take this. You don’t know what I am
You deserve much more than I could ever give you
So turn and run from me. Cuz I’ll perform as predicted
And I’ll never let myself see
That you’re the one for me
And if I could
I would walk the earth with you until I die
But I just can’t, and so goodbye
Fuck it up. All I do is fuck it up
And then I will cry. And then I will cry
I’m a shallow false advertisement
With the depth of a rancid kiddy-pool
And I’d sooner watch you drown than
Watch you drown in me
For your own fucking good
What am I to do?
This can’t be true
I’m gonna fucking run away
I won’t take this. I know what I am
I’m a dirty hermaphrodite gay rapist
This is true
And if you act now, I’ll guarantee you suffering
And it would kill me if I hurt you
And if I could
I would rage against the truth and make things right
But I just won’t, and so goodnight
And if I could
I would walk the earth with you until I die
But I just can’t, and so goodbye
And I’ll tell you a secret
You can’t love me

King Of The Robots
(Witwer)

I am the king of the robots, the king of the robots
You cannot stop me, I’m the king of the robots
King of the robots, mightiest robot
King of the robots, mightiest
I have trouble keeping up with them
And I’m not as fast or funny
And I never caught the ball at recess… at recess
I’m still the king of the robots, the king of the robots
You cannot stop me because I am like Voltron
I’m a Transformer, fire my missiles
I’ll fire my missiles, I’m mightiest
(the robot is attacking the city!)
He the king of the robot, the king of the robot
And you cannot stop him, he the king
I’m sure the king of the robots, the king of the robots
Ask me ‘bout robots, I’m mightiest
I have trouble riding bicycles
And I’m not as fast as everyone around
But I got something
I may be a robot, but I feel love
I may be a robot, but I feel love

Out Of Love
(Witwer)

I’m afraid that our time has finally come
And I feel that it’s time to live as one
And you are so beautiful
And I am so fortunate
What more is there to say
I can’t be any less to you than me
You can’t be any more to me than you, you see
And there is my problem
I swear to you I’m happy now
Just how long will now last
And you should know
I guarantee I’ll fall out of love with you
I guarantee it’s just a matter of time
I guarantee I’ll fall out of love with you
And I promise you that I’ll be fine
I guarantee you’ll be yesterday’s porn
I guarantee I’ll make tongue in cheek jokes to my friends
I guarantee my means will justify the end
And you’ll be alone
Can you tell me that I’m wrong
And that you will be my angel
As unlikely as this sounds
Get out, get lost, scram
Find another boyfriend
Get out. It was nice knowing you
Nice fucking you
Get out, get lost, pick it up
Find another man
Hit rock bottom
I’m afraid that you’re foolish if you stay
It’s your choice, we’re lost either way
And you are so beautiful
I swear to you I’m happy now
Just one last thing to say
I guarantee I’ll fall out of love with you
(like gravity) it’s just a matter of space and time
I guarantee I’ll fall out of love with you
And I promise you
I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine
My record is 6 and 0, ya know
What have you got that they did not
And I make a habit of collecting trophies
In the way of pain and tears, and shame
Can you tell me that I’m wrong
And that you will be my angel
And everything I give to you
I’ll never want it back
Can you tell me that I’m wrong
And that you will be my angel
As unlike me as this sounds
Can you tell me that I’m wrong
And that you will be my angel
And everything I give to you
I’ll never want it back
Can you tell me that I’m wrong
And that you will be my angel
And you’re the one I’ll run to

Reflex
(Witwer)

Perfect girl found her world in a man of strong conviction
Found your place, warm embrace
And you won’t be cold again
She found a way to tell you what she hides
Inside at night
So drive your car – so fast, so far – and lose yourself
So whatcha gonna do
You never thought that there was more than just to
Slip a ring on her finger
And you never will again, so it’s time that you look
In the mirror and find a real man
And bring him to the dark side, cuz what you heard
Tonight, it means a motherfucker’s gonna die
And you know that you can’t, you know that you won’t
But then it maybe happens again, happens again
I’ll be fine, I’ll redraw the line
Make sure that I stay far away from the mirror
We’re OK, we’ll live for today
Because my girl is safe in my arms asleep
Close your eyes, while she cries
And you’ve made the right decision
Find your grace, make your peace
Or you’ll never sleep again
Look at your girl right there motherfucker
How do you think she screamed motherfucker
How does it make you a better man to let it stand
Get up, get up! Motherfucker get up!
Get up, get, get, get down
Meek eyed girl asleep in her sweet nightgown
And now it’s time to skip town, make yourself a man
Not gonna wake up today, I’ll pull your plug
The picture fades, now watch my morals decay
Cut a motherfuckin throat with a razor blade
And you know it’s a good time
Clean myself in the sick, take a drink, don’t think
I was never really here
And I just want to go back home
I’ll be fine, I’ll redraw the line
Make sure that I stay far away from the mirror
We’re OK, we’ll live for today
Because my girl is safe in my arms asleep
Now I can be with my baby
Breathe with my baby
Bleed for my baby, yeah
I hate me

The Date Song
(Witwer)

I got a date – She’s really pretty
I can finally shelve the idea that I’m a fucking loser
I got a date – She’s really sexy
Maybe one day I’ll find myself in love with her
Will she be everything I want her to be
Will she be the kindness that I need
I got a date
I got a girl, got a baby, gotta find me a pedestal
Before my girl gets down
I gotta get up on the down swing
I gotta bring it one time yo
Maybe baby I got nerves and two strikes
Maybe I’m afraid my cover’s blown
Babies don’t know how to chill
When I can’t produce the bills
The Benjamins, the millions
I’m less than broke in a city with a bunch of rich folks
And I promise you – Cuz I got nothing
And I promise you I’m really something
And it’s been a long time since I’ve been here
Do you feel me girl
I’ve got a date and I find myself and I find that
I’m scared
Dontcha fear me girl
Cuz I promise you – Cuz I got nothing
I promise you what you see is what you get from me
(some of em try to rhyme but they can’t rhyme like this)
I got a date got a girl got a baby
Gotta find me a pedestal
‘Fore my girl gets down I gotta get up
On the swing gown
Because I come on pretty strong
Baby I got nerves and two strikes
So a man’s afraid of bein alone
You scare the hell outta me cuz you’re so pretty
And I’m just me
I got a date I gotta hide I gotta run
I look at you again
And I promise you cuz I got nothin
I promise you there’s more to me
I promise you cuz I got nothin I’m really somethin
I promise you what you see is what you get from me

The End
(Witwer)

I don’t want to walk away walk away
But everything we have is gone. Gone
You were there
And I’m not here to save you
Cuz I don’t have the time
And everything I did was wrong
And I don’t know why I’m here
I have a question
Do you think you’ll be on your own
Will you remember me for the time we spent alone
Not so long ago
You never looked so beautiful
But turn your eyes, don’t look at me
Cuz it makes me remember
I’m not here to fight for you
Cuz I don’t have the right
When everything I did was wrong
And I don’t know why I’m here
I have a question
Do you think you’ll be on your own
Will you remember me for the girl who
Lives inside of you
She was once for me
One day I’ll find my way back home to you
And try to find you
Hidden away, but I can’t stop myself
From reaching
Can I touch your hand, cuz it’s real
Or maybe my imagination
I guess we’ll find out tomorrow
I have a secret
I think I’ll be on my own
And I’ll remember you for the things that I was shown
You were once my true love
One day I’ll find my way back home to you
And try to find you
Hidden away, but I can’t stop myself
From reaching
Can I touch your hand, cuz it’s real
Or maybe my imagination
I guess we’ll find out tomorrow
I guess we’ll find out tomorrow

The Mermaid Song
(Witwer)

You would live in the water – away from me
Away from me
And I try to find you there
In the blue, your golden hair
You weren’t meant for me
We seek excuses, but I know I see you
In the sombre deep you keep me warm
For every wish that I suffer, you suffer two
And wait for me
It’s not a lie, I swear that I know you
It’s in your eyes
It’s a place called home
And I’ll descend and learn to breathe water
Or drown in your arms
But I won’t be alone
Tell me what do you see when you look at me
You look at me
And there’s northing like a dream to make us understand
The word no. The word no
I could never believe that you’re just a dream to me

And if you need to return to the depths
Let me swim in you one more time
And you can hurt me, and I think I’ll let you
Just to prove to you that
I can’t swim but I try
And now that we’ve reached
What compels you to return to the secret earth
It’s not a lie, I swear that I know you
It’s in your eyes
It’s a place called home
And I’ll descend and learn to breathe water
Or drown in your arms
But I won’t be alone

The Night I Knew
(Witwer)

All alone, I think of what I had
Never ran away from the truth
But I needed to, I wanted to
When I learned what I’d lost
All alone, I think of what was lost
And I lie awake
And I feel, and I’ll keep
And I’ll never let go
I have felt so empty
I’m the only one to blame
From the day you left me
It could never be the same
Sometimes my dreams are touched by past
And I feel right
There’s no death. There’s no wrong
The it leaves me
Can you hear me?
Takes more than death to silence me
Can you still feel me?
Takes more than death to kill a memory
What you call bad timing, I call tragedy
From the day your life left
It killed a part of me
