Kool-Aid
I was sitting all by myself just thinking
And as I lye awake in bed
I can't forget about what you said
Tell myself hey man you should know better
You've got to act like nothings wrong
And you've got to stand up and be strong
Don't blame me for butting in
(Don't blame me for butting in)
These F'in walls are closing in
(These F'in walls are closing in)
And if everything does not seem cool
(Everything does not seem cool)
It's cause I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do
But everything's fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I've got this thing for losing my mind
I wish I could tell you all the things I want to say
Somehow I think I will this time
I don't suppose I feel like we are sinking
It's not as bad as yesterday
And you can make everything OK
If you start to feel like we are nowhere
I'll have my memories of you
And you can think about me too
Don't blame me for butting in
(Don't blame me for butting in)
These F'in walls are closing in
(These F'in walls are closing in)
And if everything does not seem cool
(Everything does not seem cool)
Not sure what I'm supposed to do
But everything's fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I've got this thing for losing my mind
I wish I could tell you all the things I want to say yea
So now I think I will this time
And everything's fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I've got this thing for losing my mind
I wish I could tell you all the things I want to say
So now I think I will this time
And everything's fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I've got this

Closing In (Rosetta Stone Mix)
I can't see ever feeling right again
I'm on a raft in a river that's roaring away with me
What good does it do me to have what I want
When I'm in no shape to enjoy what I have
Boiling
I'm burning
I'm losing my hold
On the life that I had
Running
I'm hiding
I'm telling myself
That these things aren't so bad
I can see there's just no way out of this (one)
I can feel the walls closing in on me
The door at the end of the tunnel is far too small
And there's 24 metric tons of fear closing in on me

All Things Considered
All things considered I'm doin' just fine even though
You left a hole the size of Texas deep inside of my heart
The way I feel I should be losing my mind
But all things considered
I'm doin just fine
Woke up this morning to the sound of you slammin' the door
I got served a piece of paper for breakfast that said
You don't live here no more
And the dog won't let me pet him, he just lays around
And growls at my feet
And the paper boy forgot me again
I should have stayed in bed asleep
All things considered I'm doin' just fine even though
You left a hole the size of Texas deep inside of my heart
The way I feel I should be losing my mind
But all things considered
I'm doin' just fine
Well my car broke down again right before it ran out of gas
Yeah my boss is still ringing in my head
One more time and your out on your... yeah
Well I can't wait till that five o'clock whistle blows
So I can sit in traffic all day
And end up going home alone
All things considered I'm doin just fine even though
You left a hole the size of Texas deep inside of my heart
The way I feel I should be losing my mind
But all things considered
I'm doin' just fine
All things considered I'm doin' just fine even though
You left a hole the size of Texas deep inside of my heart
The way I feel I should be losing my mind
But all things considered
I'm doin' just fine

Walls
Walls of stone and walls of brick,
Some walls thin and some walls thick,
Walls so high and walls so low,
Walls to hide and walls to show.
Walls quite short and walls quite tall,
Some walls, last well, some walls fall,
Walls for comfort, walls of hate,
Walls for security, walls ornate.
Some as a barricade, some to support,
Walls of wood and walls of iron wrought,
Walls as a barrier, walls to enclose,
Some are to sit on, some to lean and doze.
Walls we build ourselves, these aren't good,
Walls for privacy, walls that have stood,
So many years through weather foul or fine,
Walls, that are yours, walls that are mine.
Brick by brick they are built to last,
Whether built now or in the past,
They shelter us from so many things,
And shield us from whatever this life brings.

Blame It On Me
(Bruce Robison)
You're standing there, that look in your eye
You're looking for good ways to tell my good-bye
Something 'bout people, how they never know
They're loving somebody, then lettin' them go
You're looking for reasons but there ain't no need
You can blame it on me
Blame it on me, I was the one
I had no right to turn it all wrong
I held you too close, I couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
I'll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me
I am too rough, I work too hard
I got no cool friends, I drive an old car
I'm not the picture of any man's dream
Handful of bluebonnets, boots and old jeans
I was a fool to think it could be
So blame it on me
Blame it on me, I was the one
Acting like real life was some old love song
I held you too close, couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
Thinkin' forever, ever could be
So blame it on me
When you start looking for ways out of love
Then I've been making mistakes by the dozen
So if you want to leave
You can blame it on me
I held you too close, couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
So I'll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me
Blame it on me
Blame it on me

The Mind Killer
My mind is closing in
sanctuary is receding
this time this place
is merciless mind bender.
Walls are closing in
collapsing all around
caving in dangerously
oppressively.
Entropy
is filling all
the empty spaces.
Blowing out
candle
enshrining mind.

Line Is Fine
Look at me Im so disgusting
I will never find another
Quite like you
You make me blue
With the things you do
Look at you youre so familiar
We could be so cool together
All the time
Could all be fine
Were on the line
The line is fine
Open up ma window
The line is fine
Standing on the ledge
Well I dont look down
Looking at the people
Well they all look fine
Its not just life or death
Yesterday we talked together
But tonight its just the weather
Chillin me
Whats the point in silly talking
We could get there quicker walking
Down the line
Could all be fine
But were on the line
The line is fine

Standing in a row

Awkward Age
I should have know that you were only just fifteen
You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen
Old enough to stand out but to young to stand with pride
So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin
And the cool parties never let you in
I can still relate to being so high and dry
Don't cry...
You're just at an awkward age
We'll all be fine
Disgraceful under pressure
Don't toe the line
You're just at an awkward age
Don't cry- just an awkward age
Don't cry
You're just at an awkward...
You look at me like i know what's going on
I'm looking back and i wonder what went wrong
I really thought by now a few things might clarify
I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days
And a body that sometimes disobeys
I get into the parties but i hate them 'cos i'm shy
Oh my...
I'm still at an awkward age
We'll all be fine
Disgraceful under pressure
Don't toe the line
You're just at an awkward age
Don't cry- just an awkward age
Don't cry
You're just at an awkward...
We're supposed to be happy
Supposed to be tough
Supposed to be flawless
Snd buy the right stuff
They want us all swimming
Don't care if we drown
Do don't let 'em take you down
It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide
Besides...
We live in an awkward age

Iam Alone
I am scared of love
yet it is what I need
I feel alone
like no one cares
but no one knows
it's a deep secret in my soul
I am alone
I don't know who to talk to
who to turn to
no one understands, don't want to
it's not their problem
no one takes me seriously
I am alone
I am alone in the dark
walking around seeing one thing
at a time
everyone else can see everything
with much light
I am alone
there is plenty I can do
but where do I start
who can I go to
no one understands
what is wrong with me
I don't know but I need to know
I am alone
I see no me in the future
where am I
I feel lost and confused
somebody please help me
I don't know what I’m gonna do
but I don't wanna die
I am alone
I feel like the walls are closing in on me
I’m running out of time
but no one can help me
because they can't see what I’m going through
I am afraid I need help
but no one can rescue me
I am alone

Cool It Now
Everybodys saying, seeing things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And theyve been checking all the time
My friends say Im love sick cause i...
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And I wont be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
Everyday I walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And theres no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind
Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
And I wont feel the same until she is mine
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And Ill never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you cant mess with her mind
If she feels the same shell letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
And I hope this message stays in your mind
Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
Theres one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(got to see what love is all about)
And Ill never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me..
You got to cool it now
You got to cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Youre gonna loose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love
Why you all coming down on me
Tryin to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know youre only trying to help me out
Tryin to show me what life is really about
But this time Im gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, bobby, ricky and mike
If I love the girl who cares who you like
Cool it now
Cool it now
Ooooooh watch out
Gonna lose control
Cool it now
Slow it down
Slow it down...
Youre gonna fall in love

Under Construction
His accent serenades me
And presses at the door
Broken promise to be
Around for my mind war
And my accomplishments interrogating me
Todays become tomorrow
Before I wanted it to be
And desperate discussions
The start of the destruction
Our sign, in my mind
Ill be fine
Ill be fine
cause Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
I always had to try harder
I never really could keep up
Sitting in the corner
With my illness and bad luck
But in this humble place Im feeling like red wine
And I hope to get better
With some time
Ill be fine
With some time
Ill be fine
cause Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Confection
Modification
Motivation
Of construction
And the rituals that soothe
And disgust me will be gone
With some time
Ill be fine
With some time
Ill be fine
Ill be fine
Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Im under construction everyone
So youll have to mind the mess
Im under some construction
Under construction
Construction
Feel better with some construction

A Toast to the Men
Here's to the men! Since Adam's time
They've always been the same;
Whenever anything goes wrong,
The woman is to blame.
From early morn to late at night,
The men fault-finders are;
They blame us if they oversleep,
Or if they miss a car.
They blame us if, beneath the bed,
Their collar buttons roll;
They blame us if the fire is out
Or if there is no coal.
They blame us if they cut themselves
While shaving, and they swear
That we're to blame if they decide
To go upon a tear.
Here's to the men, the perfect men!
Who never are at fault;
They blame us if they chance to get
The pepper for the salt.
They blame us if their business fails,
Or back a losing horse;
And when it rains on holidays
The fault is ours, of course.
They blame us when they fall in love,
And when they married get;
Likewise they blame us when they're sick,
And when they fall in debt.
For everything that crisscross goes
They say we are to blame;
But, after all, here's to the men,
We love them just the same!

Strong Enough To Break
Well I haven't been myself today
Just a figure in a big Monopoly Game
The struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
There's something 'bout it floating away
Just throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
The fabric is about to fray
The fabric is about to fray
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Oh
You've been running through my mind today
Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy
No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
Nothing ever seems to change
Oh nothing ever seems to change
We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh Ho
Oh carry on just a pawn in this same old song
I'm still holding on
The fabric is about to fray
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stopping them
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Hey girl how you doing
Do you feel like talking?
Or do you need me to call you back
You from round what way and when's your birthday
Or what's your zodiac sign (I'm an Aries)
Well I'm a Virgo so my sign's compatible
We gone get along just fine
What you do for fun cause I don't drink or club
I just like to chill with somebody like you
[Chorus]
Everything is cool when love is all brand new
Cause you're learning me and I'm learning you (its cool)
When love is all brand new
Cause you're learning me and I'm learning you
What type of work you do or are you still in school
Or do you have any kids (and if I did what?)
Now if you did its alright
See I'm the type that dont mind
Cause I can understand that things happen sometimes
By the way I'm wondering are you cool with your family
Cause I would like to meet your parents someday
Let's hang out this weekend
Maybe we can begin something wonderful and
Beautiful cause
[Chorus]
Girl it's so cool (yeaaah)
Talking with you (yeaaah)
It gets better every moment I spend with you
Girl you're so nice (nice)
And you so fine (so fine)
Plus you're real and thats just what I like

Hollow Rain
The rain is falling down again
I reach for the end an act of no faith
I see future been set
My childhood a link to regret
I roam in darkness
A sign from my past
Losing my freedom
Closing the rest
My mind is healing with the time
New seasons will come harvest of pain
Every sin the last one will gain
The air seems cold but I never change
I roam in darkness
A sign from my past
Losing my freedom
Closing the rest

Bad Girls

That bad girls do)
Bra top, tank top
Doesnt really matter cause theyre all so hot
Im going loco in puerto rico
Dark hair, tanned skin
Skating on the beach, playin innocent
They drive me crazy in miami
They know, how to, make me
Want it, crave it, need it
I love how they tease me
Its the good things that bad girls do
That makes me want to sweat, feel them wet
All over my body
Its the good things that bad girls do
Each city day or night
Theyre so fine
Im going out my mind
(good thing, good things

Nice smile, so wild
Every girl wants to get her party on
They break all the rules, in cancun
So sweet, you need
You constantly pinch yourself to believe
The games that they play, down in l.a.
They know, how to, make me
Want it, crave it, need it
I love how they work it
Its the good things that bad girls do
That makes me want to sweat, feel them wet
All over my body
Its the good things that bad girls do
Each city day or night
Theyre so fine
Im going out my mind
London city and madrid got some bad girls
Mexico and brazil got some bad girls
Dublin city and djakarta got some bad girls
Stockhlom city and berlin got some bad girls
Kuala lumpur and miami got some bad girls
Gotta really really love those bad girls
Got a thing got a thing for the bad girls
And the things they do
