See my face, I don't, I don't
Hear my voice, I don't, don't know
I'm so lost, in my own mind
what am I, from the outside
so hard to explain, i'm self-unaware
but if i let you show me, you'll show me what you see
so hard to observe, who i really am
i don't wanna see no i don't wanna see
See my face, I don't, I don't
Don't come near, just go, just go

how do you get up everyday
and act like everythings okay
you're very strange
how do you keep it up all week
is it an image that you put on
just for me?
you try so hard to get me on
your little sinking ship
just cus theres nowhere left to go
dont mean i'll roll with it
this parody
i dont understand
this parody
of adult life that you chase
this parody
i dont really care
i dont pay attention,
you are not important to me
how do you smile when you are sad
and look so good when you feel bad
i do not know
how do you make your body move
when there is nothing you can do
i'd like to know your secret
you always laugh at my analogies
cus its a comedy, that's all it's ever been
and so this parody of what you want
just feels so funny when you tell me that
i'd die without
this parody
i dont understand
and i never will
dont bother to explain
this parody

not good enough, tellin me you're not good enough
not good enough, what'd'you tryin to say?
not hard enough, sayin you dont work hard enough
hard enough, hard enough for who?
don'cha know its all been bet against you from the start
don'cha know thats how its supposed to be
don'cha know they love to see you tear yourself apart
and you do, so eagerly
dont be scared, this'll do
cus you're still gonna do
all the things that you knew
that you'd do
don't be shy this'll do
cus we already do
all the things that we wanted to do
this'll do
honey bee, i know you got a problem
taking it easy,... you're so rough with
yourself and it's hard
to see you angry
honey bee, you're always buzzing
busy bee, you oughta know that
the honey you make
theyre always gonna try to take cus
don't be mad at yourself,
if you work for someone else
and you screw it all to hell
then oh well
this whole thing is unfair
and you really shouldnt care
its the rules that they use
its not you
this'll do

I dont want it to hurt
it's not supposed to be this hard
...all i can do
is never enough
I don't want it to kill me
no i don't wanna fall behind
....the lines i have drawn
strangle me to sleep
these days its hard to find
respite from temptation or
a little peace of mind
i do not want this life
someday i know i'll make it through
or at least i hope i do
these days, these days
these days, its hard to
relax
(cool instrumental bit)
i'm tired of the bullshit
yeah i just want to sleep all day
....is that so much
to ask
i just wanna pace myself
take it one day at a time
everybody seems to rush me

come and sit and have a drink with me
i do not know you but
i'd love to get to know you if you'd let me
i don't have much money left
but i will buy you something nice
i'd rather not spend all of it on me
let's spend the night together while we have it
let's get to know each other while we can
i'd love to see what you would love to show me
and if it all goes well then we can keep in touch
come and sit and have a drink with me
if you aren't bothered by my hair
i know it's strange but that's just me
i'm the type to wear the things i like
i hope it makes me look punk rock
and that it makes you want to
get to know me
and if it all goes well then we can keep in touch
it's nice to meet you

about a chapter a day, once a week
judy works for pennies in a dollar store
and she's walkin away, someday
she just wanna take it easy
she's writing it down, it's getting around
she just wanna get some sleep but
its never enough
she still gotta get to work
shes doin her best, shes passing the test
she just wanna get away but
its never enough
and judys just sittin there writin her book she's like
like where will you go, where will you take me
the books just sittin there thinkin the same
its like ohhh
oh no...
judy gave her novel to her publisher friend
he said its decent enough, but needs some work
you need to cut a paragraph here and there
she asked him where would you say? he said anywhere
judy puts her book back in here bag, shes like
"why do i bother, what is the purpose?
if i dont make a million then why do i care?"
oh no...
do do dod do
judy wrote a novel in a coffee shop
just to find an escape, from the dollar store

its unhealthy to expect someone of something too much
they will not respect you if you feed them your lunch
do not be so cruel
baby just be cool and you will
find it in your house
find it in your couch and they will
love you very much
all you have to do
just be kind don't pour your feelings
all over their floor and make them clean it for you
just because they try to help don't mean they're able to
pick up all your pain
don't just go insane when they don't
know what else to say
oo oo
its unhealthy to expect someone of something too much
know that they will love you if give them enough
kindness gets you there
makes them want to care if you just
give them what you can
don't be so demanding give them
something
give them something

goodnight

i'll never wake up, i'll never wake up
it won't let me go, the dream never dies
i am alone, this is goodnight
it won't let me leave, i'm trapped in this sleep
i'm trapped in its world, i can't even scream
i wish it would say something to me
and yet it just stares, directly at me
and with a kiss, an inky black tongue
i am now his, the darkness has won
