Trapped Inside

when we were young we would hang around in a beat up cul-de-sac
we'd leave the school yard at 3 o'clock and would never ever look back
i wanna go there in my mind
sticks and stones would break my bones but a kind word would never mend
the older we got, the harder it was to tell an enemy from a friend
i wanna go there in my mind
lord, i'm still there, all my life
trapped inside!
every night we would lie asleep, waiting for the night to end
in the morning we would fall awake and do the whole thing again
i wanna go there in my mind
street lights would flicker and burn through the cracks of the window shades
i would watch as i talked to the wall, and my candle would slowly fade
i wanna go there in my mind
lord, i'm still there, all my life
i can't go there in my mind
cause i may awake there and find my life
is trapped inside!
wherever we would go, you'd chase us around
wherever we would go, you'd chase us around
you followed us to the shoreline
you followed into the sound
you followed us to the shoreline
now you've run aground
the day is done, the time has come for us all to call in our bets
wave goodbye and let it go so we can freely look ahead
i wanna go there in my mind
lord, i'm still there in my mind
trapped inside!

when she was young
you never saw someone more alive, happy, or free
pictures and songs
speak of days long gone, we're not who we should be
are you lost now that you're on your way?
do you always say what you mean?
you won't go out of your own way anymore
words and games
it's such a dull refrain, she is playing out of key
through her pain
she'll see a brand new change, and it'll turn to harmony
are you lost now that you're on your way?
do you always say what you mean?
you won't go out of your own way anymore
it's not like you heard me say goodbye
it's not like i didn't try to say goodbye
when she was young
you never saw someone more alive, happy, or free
now she's grown
she's off on her own, for just as long as she need be

Flies

i remember when we were all in this together
together, now, we're all dropping like flies
dropping like flies, we're not together
i remember when we were all in this together
together, now, we're all dropping like flies
dropping like flies, we're not together
some have gone off on their own
some still haven't made their way back home
i guess it's true we've all been drawn to a lesser light
a lesser light, now we're all dropping like flies
dropping like flies, we're not together
some have gone off on their own
do all their talking through a telephone
some have gone off on their own
some still haven't found their way back home

don't know what to say today
i don't know how to say it
tires roll down the street today
i can see you're gone
don't know what to think today
i don't know how to think it
kids, they play in the park today
how i wish it was me
hold on brother
we're all on your side
we'll kill those monsters in the night
hold on brother
we're all on your side
dance with me 'til the morning light
don't know how i feel today
i don't know how to feel it
lines running down the street today
i just can't get over
hold on brother
i am on your side
we'll kill those monsters in the night
hold on brother
we're all on your side
dance with me 'til the morning light

Pink Eye

pink eye at the dawn
the smell of smoke surrounds you
the feeling that it's gone
a family split in two
yes...
it's over
amen
though the old is passing
the new comes when it's gone
a love that's everlasting
takes some time to come
but yes...
it's over
(it ain't over 'til)
it's over
(it ain't over 'til)
it's over
(it ain't over 'til)
it's over
it's over
amen

it's time to start
today is your first day home
it's time to start
today is your first day home
don't give up my child
it's not what it seems
we're gonna make it
i had a shot
but i gave it all away
i had a shot
but i blew it all away
don't give up my child
it's not what it seems
we're gonna make it
i don't know what i want
i don't know what i want
i don't know what i want
but i need you
please just stop
i can't believe it's gone
please just stop
you've torn it all away from me
don't give my child
it's not what it seems
you're gonna make it
i don't know what i want
i don't know what i want
i don't know what i want
but i need you
