Under the Stairs

You know you're too young for your age
I feel kind of sorry for you
Cause it's such a shame
You won't be laughing when I'm dead

Under stairs and no one cares I'm dead
And that is where I'll wait for you

Nothing here has changed
Maybe you should go and find
Someone else to blame
Cause you are gonna be sorry when I'm dead

Under stairs and no one cares I'm dead
And that is where I'll wait for you

To Die For

Tighten your tie boy.
You're something to die for.
But don't hold your breath now.
You're just killing time.
Tonight you can dream boy.
Imagine a whisper.
If you can keep secrets, then I'll tell you mine.
Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to.
Though it brings me to tears now, I need you to know.
Look in my eyes boy. Nothing like yours now.
It seems that a lifetime is passing us by.

So open your eyes.

This is forever but it won't last long.
This is a memory that fades away in never-ending.
In the death of all that's long been said and done before,
we'll wish that we were something more.
Stop wasting time boy.

You're late all your life boy.
They won't have the patience for someone like you.
Your memory's fading. I'll love you forever. I'll try to remember.
I'll try to hold on.

You're standing alone boy. Waiting for dreams boy.
Waiting for something to make them come true.

Don't ever leave boy.
I'd miss you too much boy.
I'll never forget you, as long as I'm here.

Video Kid

Next phase, next craze, next nothing new.
Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue.
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two.
Turned him into a video kid like you.

I know you're just pretending.
There's no window for mistakes.
I know you see right through me.
There's no promise left to break.

Shot the pretty boy killed him on commodore.
Need a new game, need a new something more.
Got a new face got a new way to score.
Got a voice like something I've heard before.

The message misleading.
We're lying, we're cheating.
We're only repeating.
The motions preceding.

Over

He watches her while she is sleeping
He wonders if he could watch her forever
He wants to know every secret she keeps
He wants to know what it is that keeps them together
He doesn't know what is real anymore
He tries to read the reflections from her eyes
He never stopped to think about love and direction
He only took the truth from his paranoid lies

Sometimes the beauty starts to die
When it's over
Torture yourself by asking why
But it's over

She watches him as he is leaving
She waits all night till he comes home
She fabricates another reason to stay
She's always so afraid of being alone
She doesn't know what is real anymore
She tries to read the reflections from his eyes
She never stopped to think about love and direction
She only took the truth from her paranoid lies

Sometimes the beauty starts to die
When it's over
Torture yourself by asking why
But it's over

Broken

Time is the promise
It turns and tells them what to do
It makes them dishonest
They let the suspicion kill the truth

Broken Heart, Broken Mind
When you let me in
Did you not know where I had been?

And love's what they wasted
A lie that makes their dreams come true
They're hiding their faces
Their smiles can break the heart in two

Broken Heart, Broken Mind
When you let me in
Did you not know where I had been?

The Dream

Her fabulous invention, What strange imagination shown.
Her glorious intentions, a sea of doubt beneath her own.
It said "You're not the first to dream this, little girl.
You know it's never happened once in this world.
It never crossed my mind that one so young
could hope to find a power greater then my own."

She never did what they told her to,
and they'll never see her dream come true.
The edge of revelation, believing all the stories told.
A final moment taken before this story's end unfolds.
