Album: Return to Struggleville
i guess i'm just a square trying to fit in all the wrong circles
it's hard to see your dreams when your eyes are black and purple
getting broken by the beat down in each and every small town
some call it love, i call it a heart-attack with a new sound
population: you and me. tonight we're speaking gospel to a handful
turn up the lights so we can see 'em, put our problems on the anvil
this place in an ashtray and you're anything but
the used up end of a cigaret where the nicotine cuts
so, filter this second-hand smoke and mirrors routine
we can all be friends, i promise it won't hurt to bled
all i have are these deaf, dumb, blind scribblings
every single word, mile, and prayer for the regard
is retarded and never heard
this all i have, it's all i know, it's not a lot
all i have are words. here, this is all i got
and i said "hey, i'm sorry. i've been away for such a long time
but i'm here now and you're here now. can that be enough? or do i need to try
please, i promise to always think of you and give you my life
but we're together now and it's better now. i've got to go, so please don't cry."
i hit the pavement again, but all my knuckles are broken
and there's no use saving 'em cause all i'm doing is choking
it's a hundred more miles on this long-way road
i'm trying and another hundred dies in a row, i'm diving in
that glass of water so i can feel, maybe something to fill the soul. we're all thirsty, i know
i won't be your clown tonight. sorry, all i got no tricks
but i'm willing to take a look at what you need fixed
that's all i have to offer, i'm the cheap version of what you need
i'm a liar, a cheat, and a steal. it's all for me
this is my deepest secret, please tell everyone you meet
this is all i have, i have nothing but attention when i scream
