"The Company Dime"

i watched it all come crashing down on teh verge of a world profound
standing on unstable ground adding insult to irony
i think it's really gonna happen this time,
all out calls are on the company dime
reluctance ties up the line with irresponsibility
no matter save for a friend no argumentt can amend
irreplaceable but in the end,
one star player doesn't save the team
now you're open to attack,
our burden rest on your back
replace, re-track responsibility
i'm still waiting for you to get over this
anonymos until the ending,
spent a long long time pretending
and a longer day spent accepting what the world ahead would store
you only learn by not believeing that the industry is unforgiving
everything that you've been giving isn't what if was before
i'm still waitng for you to get over this

"My Apology"

You'll be accepting my apology for taking things too seriously.
Sometimes I'm old enough to to keep routines,
sometimes I'm child enough to scream
for everything I broke in two,
You're barely missing me, I'm missing you and everything you do,
I really do, I really do, sure I do.

My once photographic memory for recollection's sake is failing me.

I can't remember for the life of me.

Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong,
Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong,
But we move on

Get a job where I can tell all of my accounts of someone else
I'm quick enough to judge that they were wrong and that we knew it all along

sing a long, long-winded song I would be content to hum along.

If I state that my fingers know where to show what everyone should have known,
I'll let it go.
Hopefully you'll forget that words that I put in print
my luck, you'll change and have strength enough to walk away

Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong.
Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong.
But we move on.
Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong.
Sometimes I can think to recite words that I read and rewrite,
my pens paint people that I've proven wrong.

"I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel"

come tomorrow i'll be on my way back home
in the morning call from a roadside telephone
one night doesn't mean the rest of my life
if i go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong
so, let go because i'm afraid to try
keep my hands by my side
i won't come back
i hope someday you'll understand i want to try
and make it right but dont' know if i can
last night everything was right and the reain was gone
one summer night's the only time we've known
shut your eyes and when you wake i'll be gone

"Long Goodnight"

every attempt to... is filled with holes
it reads like a plygraph i'm told
i'[m not bitter anyway
let it go
i never sleep still lest i forget
tied down by handicaps instead
i'm not bitter anyway, but i didn't want it to turn out this way
sing a long goodnight, forgeit any fight
refuse to rest assured
it comes with no reply
hold on too tight
i hang on every word
if it wall ended tonight, you know that i wouldn't mind
it'd be back to the good old times before it won

"Close To Home"

summer swallowed us whole;
we waited for you to come around
every word you wrote down,
we read it over to know... would they believe is us now?
there's no shame like no sound from sources hits close to home
everything that we've found says make your own destiny
but you're unaware that you should be scared
maybe you'll learn from mistake that we make
we're not waiting forever
we know you'll never be there
we're not waiting forever, but if you get out we'll see you there
you're not awake as i'm aware
maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong
there's been a misunderstanding we've had all along
you can read about it when we're gone

"I'll Catch You"

can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time?
an unspokenbalance here,
unabridged for so many years
that i should stare at receivers to receive her isn't fair
don't worry i'll catch you
don't ever worry
your arms in mine, anytime
i wouldn't trade anything
you're still my everything
to my surprise, before my eyes, you arrive
don't worry I'll catch you
don't ever worry
i'm still breaking old habits, habits when you pulled the wool over me
i can see everything, everything remembering "jinx removing"
don't worry i'll catch you [x2]
don't ever worry
no need for reminding... you're still all that matters to me

"One Year Later"

Wandering the K-10 As anniversaries end,
Pondering events that brought us here.
If anyone remember when Around the world and back again
Was a dream not quite so clear?
Overwhelms Over the hills and away Was not a mistake.
Did that straight and narrow,
Nailed self-righteous arrow Get to be so decadent?
Could you trade your lessons To have grown up in the process?
Remarks never relent.
Learned by your examples
And we learned by your mistakes.
Argue our positions, It's a decision that we have to make.
It's not a mistake If we had known What we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
Got your full attention Over hours of speculation,
Don't you know who knows:? I know.
Finally make decisions? Finally work it out?
Finally let it go?
We're not running backwards.
Don't you know, That we love reunion shows.
This is not a swan song: But it goes:
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around,
around, around.

"Red Letter Day"

you're got some nerve
i never knew what with the world we gave
away in front of you
i see it all much clearer now
you're just a phase
i've gotten over anyhow
it's over
i'm not giving in again
we're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this to me?
red letter day that i learn i'm sure you get what you deserve
i see it all much clearer since i'm far past the point
of this if it's a lie i don't want to be the one who signed
i'm not the one who falls down
it's over now
if you want to try... try and forget it
it's over
i'm gone
