star of the play
stepped onstage and then broke a leg
went in for a surgery
woke up amputee
but he'll walk it off
and if he can't, crawl
cuz he must adjust
life's all about moving on
once your will is gone
I'm not dying, only trying to remember a dream
the wall that we built
suspended our guilt and our disbelief
it's a gun loaded in the first scene
of an old tragedy
but we'll shake it off
dance and convulse til we can't recall
what made us so sad after all
alcohol!
I'm not dying, only trying to remember a dream
ooo...ooo
floating around with your head in a cloud
on a bright sunny day
and getting happy in really sad ways
is easy enough
used to be fun
now the man on the run's waking up on his knees
and it's getting so hard to believe
his life is not a disease
baby, save those mistakes
cuz in this place
they'll buy anything
oh, and hide your effort well
if you don't try
you'll never fail
i'm not dying, only trying to remember a dream

He Just Doesn't Get It

Hooking up with someone you like
wouldn't be the end of your life
if it wasn't someone you knew
and he wasn't all over you
sitting in the garden of love
making up excuses to touch
"that's a pretty sweater you got
now let's work on taking it off"
but you don't
you're calling it off, and you choke
you're starting to cough as he moves close
and now you're telling yourself
for your own mental health
you'd be better off kissing a stranger
always when they start out as friends
end up enemies in the end
hitting on you causes a bruise
should have worn your running shoes
sitting in the garden of love
making up excuses to run
"that's a pretty sweater you got
now let's work on taking it off"
but you don't....
"hey, hey, trying to reach you
since when does a friend turn into a back-stabber
come on."
