House of Pain
A little past supper-time
I'm still out on the porch step sitting on my behind,
Waiting for you.
Wondering if everything is alright.
Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time." I said, "I've got time.
Well, he'll be here soon."
Five years old and talking to myself.
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy, can't you tell?
I'm not trying to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame.
There's no one home
In my house of pain.
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged.
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
Wasn't I worth the time?
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time
I looked up to you.
I paced my room a million times.
And all I ever got was one big lie, the same old lie.
How could you?

Well, I was eighteen and still talking to myself.

No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
And I'm alone again
Well, if I learned anything from this... It's how to live on my own.

Sunshine
One a-one time, yeah.
Am I too contagious
Full of sick desire
Am I that I promise
Burning corpsed pyre
Then some dude came down to touch the Mother.
Mother touched
And dude ain't here no more.
Suck your woman down.

Melting mirror smile
Am I worth the value
Do my love defile
Then some dude came down to touch the Mother.
Mother touched and dude ain't here no more.
Ain't no day the sun don't crack.
Try brand some name across my back, so you care?

Talk Talk
ey, hey, hey
Well, did I tell you before when I was up?
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you talking in rhymes
Twisting 'round to make me think you're straight down the line

The Party’s Over
The Party’s Over
I never thought you'd stay
The love of laughter
My truth's no longer sane
The party's over
Much older than you'd say
This friend of no one
Time creases on your face
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
I never thought you'd stay
The love of laughter
My truth's no longer sane
The party's over
Much older than you'd say
This friend of no one
Time creases on your face
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
The Party’s Over
I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason
This life of masquerade
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being
Uncertain of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
Take this punishment away Lord
Name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue
Name the crime I'm guilty of
I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason
This life of masquerade
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being
Uncertain of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
Take this punishment away Lord
Name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue
Name the crime I'm guilty of

It’s My Life
My reasoning
Wonder
Commit yourself
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
What good do you do?
It's my life
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself, how much do you do?
Commit yourself
Wonder
Commit yourself
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
What good do you do?
It's my life
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself, how much do you do?
Commit yourself
It’s My Life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd

Falling To Pieces
Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shuttin' tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets of yes and no
In an ocean of maybe
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shuttin' tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets of yes and no
In an ocean of maybe
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love, my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Between, my love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together (between)
Somebody put me together
Somebody put me together (between)
Whoa oh oh oh (my life is falling to pieces
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between

Somebody put me together
Somebody put me together (between)
Whoa oh oh oh (my life is falling to pieces

Melancholy Man
Some people say that I'm a melancholy man
When all is said and done
It's just the way I am
The sun is blazing as I wander into town
A long grey overcoat which trails along the ground
And when I'm walking past the children in the park
They stop their games, they shout my name
And run behind my back
If only they could see how happy I can be
But sometimes they must look away
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am
But if you have the time
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man
When all is said and done
It's just the way I am
The sun is blazing as I wander into town
A long grey overcoat which trails along the ground
And when I'm walking past the children in the park
They stop their games, they shout my name
And run behind my back
If only they could see how happy I can be
But sometimes they must look away
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am
But if you have the time
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man
The sky is blue today
Here in your nowhere land
And how are you today, my melancholy man?
You saw us looking through a window of a bus
We smiled at you but you didn't smile at us
And when you're old and grey
Your days are at an end
You'll wish that you had someone who
You could call a friend
Yet only I can see how happy you can be
Oh, sometimes they must look away
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am
But if you have the time
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man
When all is said and done, my melancholy man
The sky is blue today, my melancholy man
"And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"
As beautiful as you, my melancholy man
Here in your nowhere land
And how are you today, my melancholy man?
You saw us looking through a window of a bus
We smiled at you but you didn't smile at us
And when you're old and grey
Your days are at an end
You'll wish that you had someone who
You could call a friend
Yet only I can see how happy you can be
Oh, sometimes they must look away
