Damn Well

VERSE
You know damn well how to get me to that place
and just how hard it is to get back
And I know damn well what you're trying to say
and you don't even have to ask
CHORUS
But we do it anyway
Just put off the pain another day
VERSE
We're so well received as we rationalize
that this is going to be the end
But no truth is held in those desperate lies
and it all falls down again
CHORUS
So we do it anyway
Just let it slide another day
SOLO
VERSE
And you know damn well, yeah we both knew all along
Inspiration hits when everything else has gone wrong
Resolve renewed, yeah we saunter forth again
Determined this time, this is it
But we know damn well we're as weak as we've ever been
and the failure seems so imminent
CHORUS
But we do it anyway
Just put off the pain another day
Yeah we do it anyway
And live false hope another day

Anesthesia

In the places no one looks
we have filled in all the holes.
Rip the pages from the books
to anesthetize our souls.
If the worst should come to worst
let the words catch in the throat.
Squeeze until the vessels burst
and the will is without hope.

(He said) Maybe I should do something?
(She said) You've already done enough.
(He said) Maybe I should do something?
(She said) You've already done enough.
(He said) Maybe I should step in?
(She said) You already stepped in it.
(He said) Maybe I should step in?
(She said) You're already deep in it.

Whether

Every breath she uttered was a sigh
and he was in the backseat getting high.
Once upon a time she thought she couldn't wait to kiss him...
Trees and grass give way to gravel.
Dreams turn black as they unravel.
When he said he'd kill himself she wondered if she'd miss him at all...
Left to our devices, we would overwhelm the engines and fall.

Somebody Set Me on Fire

Please...please help me.
I don't know if you can see, but
someone has doused me in gasoline and
set me on fire.
Somebody set me on fire.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
I know you're busy and I don't know you, but
some bad fellas got ahold of me and
now my body is being burned.
Somebody set me on fire.
Never mind. Pardon the smell.
I'm afraid it's me if you can't already tell.
See, I got involved with the wrong people
and now I've been burned to death.
Somebody set me on fire.
And you did nothing. You did nothing.
You just sat there and watched me burn.
You did nothing. You did nothing.
You didn't do a single, goddamned thing.
YOU JUST WATCHED ME BURN.
