It helped again
Such a Thrill
No big deal
Let them lose
Feel my eyes getting tired
Nothing could inspire me
When I’m with you
This is what I desired
I didn’t expect to retire
When I’m with you
It’s so intense
I can hardly breathe,
It must be me
Starting the trend
Feel my eyes getting tired
Nothing could inspire me
When I’m with you
This is what I desired
I didn’t expect to retire
When I’m with you

Judy's Lament

I’ve been awake for days I’m ruined
I know my eyes are glazed for nothing
Is there a reason you’re here,
(Is there a reason you're)
Ugly as sin?
Now I know why people,
(Now I know why people)
Take it on the chin
Let’s talk away you phrase so smoothly
You’ll need a day or two to soothe me
If I talk about leaving,
(If I talk about leaving)
Can you please tune in?
When I start sleeping,
(Now I know why people)
I have a grin built-in

Old and hard to find
The best ones are broken but in disguise
Condemned again
Is anyone complete?
Everybody wants their own disease
There’s always a match
I need someone to help me understand
When I know I’m wrong,
It’s hard to make amends
Oh, well
It’s designed for us
The panic only fuels the genius
I’m feeling detached
My mirror answers back
I hold contempt towards the maniac
I won’t confess
I need someone to help me understand
When I know I’m wrong,
It’s hard to make amends
Oh, well
My mirror answers back.

I'm Happy (In No Way)

I’m happy to go to you
I shouldn’t care at all
I’m happy to go to you
Carry on if I don’t
I hope you value my love always
It’s never mentioned at all
I hope you value my love always
Carry on if I don’t

Real Time/Good Time

An idiot’s move
Together, with good measure
The actuality
Leaves it alone
Something’s hit my face
It’s more than I can take
All in good time
Real time, real time the swelling will leave
I know
There’s no morale
Something’s hit my face
It’s more than I can take
Something’s hit my face
I don’t mind the ricochet
I’m shaking above the waist
A damaged aftertaste x3

One more rest wouldn’t hurt
I suppose I’m just curious
Don’t change a thing
(Ba ba ba ba) x2
I’ve got a better way
Don’t take a thing
(Ba ba ba ba) x2
It’s too much
Tell me what you think you’re worth
I know what I would prefer
I don’t like the pace
(Ba ba ba ba) x2
I’ve got a better way
Don’t take a thing
(Ba ba ba ba) x2
It’s too much
*Repeat Chorus x2*
