Fairweather Friend
We used to be good friends, it wasn't so long ago and I always trusted you even when people told me not to. Rainy days can be upsetting, sometimes down right depressing, and when the sun goes behind the clouds you're nowhere to be found. Never took the time to tell a friend you cared, you blew me off and now you're knockin' on my door, you're my fairweather friend. Have you washed away your mind? Are your friends too hard to find? One day you'll wake up and you'll be the only one Do you think I give a fuck? So all I'll say is "good luck"? I hope you find your calling but don't think your friends will come crawling back to you. And you did it thrice before, why wouldn't you do it again, and claim you've learned a lesson about the importance of your friends Still you call me once in awhile and pretend there's nothing wrong, Confused you're not your own man, I think I knew it all along, You're my fairweather friend.

For What We Are Not
Living our lives day to day, No plans for the future, It's too much to even ask from us. So they say that we have no motivation, No inspiration to do the things we don't want to do, I try to live my life to the fullest, I want to be a part of something that is true and right, Who knows if we'll come around and think the same as the rest of them, I don't want to be a number--I'm a human being. I just want to be on my way--achieving all of my dreams, Then maybe I'll feel comfort and not confusion about this place we live in, Don't push your hand down on me, I am a free man, I am a human being

These Days
Wake up, sunlight pouring in, Time to go to work again, Time to be held down as thoughts of freedom circle around Maybe it's time for a change, Time for me to rerange my priorities, and invent my own authority, I wish I had the time to leave it all behind for awhile, Leave this crowded city, overwhelmed by cars, This concrete holds me down, Keeps my feet stuck to the ground, The air is brown, I feel lathargic, We all get coaught up in our ways, We all have different ways of dealing with our problems, Let's pack our bags and leave today, Is there anyone who feels this way? Todays a beautiful day and I should be outside, It seems so tragic that these days are hard to find, I sleep right through the morning, Somebody wake me up, Today's the day that makes you think twice about givin' up, We all get caught up in these days, Let's pack our bags and leave today, I lie in bed at night, Starin' up at the moonlight, Tommorrow will be the day, Until then I'll just dream my problems away.

When I Was Twelve
When I was Tweleve I knew this girl, We went to school together, I had a crush on her for so many years, I was so shy--she was so nice, I never knew what to say to her, I'd sit across the room and just stare at you, Wondering what you were thinking, Did you see me stare? Did it make you laugh? I could never hide what I was feeling, Sunday afternoon nine years later, Sitting in my room reflecting on my time of childhood foolishness, My love for you was so innocent, Love was pure, still so mysterious, Now I'm older with a different point of view, Too bad I never got to know you, All I want is a nice girl, I still don't have the nerve to call, I'd just lay next to her as she looked away, She'd know just what I was thinking, "God I love this girl", Then I'd catch her stare, Her eyes told me what she was feeling, Walking in the rain my face is numb, My feet are cold, Longlasting lonliness is gerrting really old, I'll find her in time, Somewhere do I ever cross your mind and do you even care? In my experience love can be such foolishness, But crushes never fade, Crushes never go away.

Oak And Clark
I glance to my right, A mother and child approach me, On a late, dark night, "Can you spare some change?", As she holds out her hand, "My kid really needs to eat, why can't you understand?", So I gave her all my coins, Hoping her kid would eat tonite, So I'll tell you why I feel so guilty, Sometimes motives are so hard to see, Why can't a mother realize? Her child should not be used to lead to her demis, And the way the kid looked at me, Wide eyed with curiousity, And I wondered if that kid would eat tonight, And as they walked away, He turned around and waved, I waved and smiled and then I dropped my head, Because I gave her all my coins, It makes me feel good, It can't be right, Because will the mother spend that money on the kid tonight? It makes me feel good, And I know it's not right, Cause I know she'll spend the money, somewhere else tonight.

I need Direction
I feel dangerous, I'm out on a limb looking down to find control within, Unsturdy, I shake as the branch cracks and breaks, I might have fallen, But at least I'm trying. It seems some people think I need direction, But what I've got is a punk rock infection, Don't ask dumb questions about reality, I'm content just livin' in a fantasy, Time after time I try to make up my mind, Focused, Perceptive, Removed from obsession, I look deep inside to see what I can find, Decisions, Decisions, There are so many questions, Sometimes I feel like a rocketship, Blasting through outerspace, Other times I feel so small I go on without a trace, Sometimes I've felt like dying, Other times I've felt like crying, I'm gonna have to keep on tryin', and I wouldn't want it any other way, I'm content living in a fantasy, You don't need to tell me who or what I want to be.

Unwanted
That's me who I don't know, Manipulate, I do it without control, That's me who's afraid to take responsibilities, Those which I cannot take. Am I the only one who feels this way? About the situation that you've started, And if that is so, Take you're love somewhere else, Because I am leaving your ass there unwanted. I really don't know what's going on, So many thoughts and not one word to describe them all, Time moves on and on, I love, I think I do, I won't be held down, You got me climbing walls on these fucked up situations, And your biggest fear is to be left unwanted.

Daydream
Do you feel like running away? Do you need a place to go to? Where your thoughts are kept to yourself, And the environment is what you make of it? All my paranoia and fears are gone, I'm feeling safe, I can do anything. I sit and my problems wash away, Yet I realize that I'm running afraid, Another silly daydream. Just another fucked up dream, Just give me a little time, Patience is what I need, With strangth I overcome all the predicaments, And shape my own destiny, Comfort I get from friends, Answers I recieve from experiences, And whenever I want to run away, I'm destined to daydream again, let go of my fears and pains.

Bound To Change
I grew up so fast, Sometimes I can't believe it, Do I know who I am? I'm supposed to be a man, And when I feel like I'm acting older, I'll just be a kid and do the things I did, Who gives a fuck if I'm a millionaire, As long as I have some time to live, Our world is so dependant on money, At least there are other things that make us happy, Sitting heare in my underwear, I think I'll smoke another cigarette, Stare and watch time disappear, As I inch closer to my death, And who's to say I'm not afraid of the person that I could become, Rearranged and bound to change, I think my time will finally come, I can't stop changing.

Experiences
I was once an innocent child, But as I grew older, I was more exposed to the creulty of reality, And the consequences of foolish decisions, Life is not too easy, With all the problems we face everyday, I believe we've all been exploited, And violated in some way, Experienceing it will make us aware, I've been here 18 comfortable years, Pampered and nurtured through life, Tryin' to find a way around these secrets, Cuz something isn't right, Our life and common sense will clarify, How we will survive.
