Everybody Knows

Expect nothing; receive nothing.
Give nothing; become nothing.
I want to be...
I went looking for that monster of mine.
The one with dreams growing out of the sides.
The bars of chocolate, acetaminophen
couldn't keep you away.
Guess it's time to come home.
I've been playing house, not in my home.
It's funny, repeating the word "home"
As I open the door alone.
Everybody knows, but they don't say a thing.
Everybody knows...
I've been hiding it, but everybody knows.
They see it when I don't.
I kinda wish I tasted blood.
I kinda wish I'd watched the universe
fall off the edge of the earth.
They keep saying that Earth is flat.
Well, I think they mean something, but it doesn't make sense.
Looking for a friend for the end of the world.
Anyone will do, with a heart of gold.
I sought the edge, but found a pit.
Everybody knows.
I've been dropping it in conversations,
But they already know.
It's been buried in the fields where
The grass won't grow.
Everybody knows, but they won't say a thing.
Everybody knows, but they can't stop the rain
from falling down.
The world is just a dream
that you can't take from me.
I should ju--
I'm ov--
(I'm not me.)
Just st-- (fu--)
Don't give up.
This isn't f---
I'm so---.
They know, but they don't say a thing.
Everybody knows, but they can't stop the rain from coming.
Oh, this life is just a dream.
But you don't have feelings for me.
They already know.
They already know.
Because everybody knows.
You couldn't possibly know.
But they do.

You take a line, then you come back.
It's all so simple in oxygen.
Rewriting surplus as innocence.
I couldn't be more proud of you
For taking something you never had
And fulfilling its prophecy.
You shouldn't come back, but that won't stop.
You're a champion of all things equivalent.
Tell me, have you picked a fruit before?
I do it best in winter.
Do you know what you were going for,
Or is your mind still being written?
Oh, I won't call you baby.
But you let go, let go,
Turned off, shut it down.
Have you ever seen a thrill before?
Have you ever seen love before?
Have you ever touched my hand and started all again?
...but I won't call you baby...
---
I'd sell my latest privilege
For a chance to fix you again.
You seem so far from me,
And i can't see why.
I'll give up collector matchbooks
For your eternal security
So you can stay here with me, for me.
How can I hold onto you this time?
Why don't you want to be mine?
I found another cigarette
With just enough weed to get us there.
So who's turn is it to try?
Not seeing. Too weepy.
You broke me for the last time.
I may seem demanding
For the same reasons you push me away.
This echo, fixed posture,
Hurts the natural ebb and flow.
You ebb, I flow...
How can I hold onto you this time?
It shouldn't be so hard to try.
I think I've found my liquor of choice.
Do you lock it up for safe-keeping?
Leave it out before goodbye.
(If I love you, could I let you go?
If I want you, should I leave you alone?)
If you don't like me, if you don't want me, if you don't care, if you don't.

I've been hurt before.
I guess it'll happen again.
You've been around here more.
I guess you'll be my friend.
Wouldn't you prefer it if I looked this way?
Wouldn't you prefer it if I spoke this way?
Would you like it better if I had nothing to say?
But I promise you, I have it under control.
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I have problems now,
But they can go away.
You might want me more.
You might want to stay.
Wouldn't you prefer it if I looked this way?
Wouldn't you prefer it if I spoke this way?
Would you like it better if I had nothing to say?
But I promise you, I have it under control.
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I can be a vessel for your feelings.
Open the door and let them fall through to me.
I've learned from all of my mistakes,
And I can be better. I'm gonna be better.
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)
I wanna be better, better, better
(Better for you)

I Don't Want to Cry
02:50

I pray for the strength to make my escape.
Give thanks for the words I never say.
You wanted me, I think, once before.
But you don't say anything anymore.
Now it's over. Now it's over...
I don't want to cry.
There's nothing in my eyes.
I was staring at the sun,
And I fell into its lies.
It took me for a ride.
I couldn't help but burn.
It wasn't your concern
If I live in denial.
But, I don't want to...
Appeals to a ghost, a non-entity
Afraid of your own shadow.
Speak up to the crowd, explain listlessly,
The sun will come out, but the rain won't follow.
You couldn't me, for me, something more.
Now we stray, broken things, as before.
I don't want to cry.
There's nothing in my eyes.
I was staring at the sun,
And I fell into its lies.
It took me for a ride.
I couldn't help but burn.
It wasn't your concern
If I live in denial.
But, I don't want to...cry.

Trash Day

I've got your shit in a trash bag
on my doorstep.
I'm not taking it to you.
We've done enough to each other.
Time to get rid of the proof.
I threw out all the thoughts you didn't really believe.
I'll keep the ones that mean something.
Look back and cry
Because this was a life without you.
Revising all our memories
to fit the frames we spent our last dimes to buy.
I want to think you never liked me.
I want to think you lied.
The truth couldn't surprise me, baby.
I can see alright.
It's still sitting there.
I might as well be out there with it,
Waiting for you.
You couldn't send me a friend to pick up,
Someone I could talk to.
I don't want to send a message.
I know you won't hear it.
I want to hear you're sorry
And you'll never do it to anyone again.
