Colorful
Written by brian vander ark
The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well theyre reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this losers living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way
Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldnt pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this losers living fortunate

She Loves Everybody
She loves everybody she loves everyone
Like the picture taken twenty years ago that she keeps in her portfolio
He wants everybody he wants anything
And they part the rope outside the whiskey bar
A glitter gown in orbit left to satellite a waning star
I touch down in the heated land
And shiver in my bones as I look up to greet the clouds that wait for me
Washed aside by circumstance
The watercloth had cleared the answer in my mind
And you were there with me, there with me again
She loves everybody she loves everyone
The evidence sits in the vcr
Hes choking on apologies, shes channeling a superstar
I tiny elbow through the crowd
Flashing lights, the musics loud, Im questioning if this is destiny
Disappearing from the rants
Ignoring risen sycophants, I close my eyes
And you were there with me, there with me, there with me again
She loves everybody she loves everyone

Honest
Who will leave your bed this morning?
Who will be the one
To leave you now amidst adoring light
Cause it feels right?
Who will be the one
To leave you as tomorrows dawning?
And though Im asking, please dont give specifics
Im so unterrifically honest
Who will hold your door this evening?
Who will be the one
To steal the smile through shining candlelight
Cause it feels right?
Who will be the one
To leave you as tomorrows dawning?
Im not trying to be scientific
Im not trying to be anything at all
But this chemistry just turns me
Turns me terribly honest
Honest
Who will leave your bed this morning?

Supergig
Turn the cushions over, tonight were coming over
Angry once, were not so anymore
And all that we desire is sweep the stage of fliers
It was funny once its not so anymore
Me, Ive got a supergig, got a brand new rig
Ill crank it for you all
The drummers got a hard-on for every song he starts on
Once seemed loud, hes not so anymore
The catalog of ballads we played to clean your palates
We used to care, we dont care anymore
Me, Ive got a super sound when I play around the gyms or parties
Me, Ive got a super sound either way
Theres not a missing link no matter what you think
Right before the break up we turn around and make up
Once stupid we are not so anymore
The fear of bargain basements are gone without a trace, yeah
We used to care, we dont care anymore
There aint no way any super girls gonna change my world
Or keep me down cause
Me, Ive got a super rig whether at a gig or playing in my room

What You Wanted
Through the remains I have been sorting
Seeking refuge underneath flourescent skies
An apocalypse of pity
I know she is safe and building her disguise
Bracing for the scavengers
Who reign upon my humble domain
Fills my face with anger
Into permanent distortion
Im ugly getting over you
Its what you wanted
Youre gorgeous running out of me
Its what you wanted
Im ugly getting over you
I know that youre more beautiful now
Everdays survival lesson
Brings another scarring session to sustain
I anticipate a lesion
Its a chemical reaction to my pain
7,000 weathered faces
Hide my beautiful and buried smile

Hero
I cant believe that it was good for anyone, to me worth the wait
I doubt that anybody got their moneys worth
But the attention sure felt great
With all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, some couldnt see
It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle, but a heros what I wanna be
Keep it moving people cause theres nothing more for you to see
Im just a jerk, but a heros what I wanna be yeah, oh yeah
Love me, love me sweet cowardice
Now that the thrill is mine for the moment
We really didnt need another suicide
Or a song explaining why, but its not dignified
But I cant seem to kiss it goodbye
It burned like a cancer...
Keep it moving people...
It burned ...
Keep it.....
Erase this disaster even faster than you came to see
A creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be
For your abuse, but not intended for internal use

The F Word
Ive got to get arrested to keep you interested
I should have known that I cant change the world by staring at it
My arms have little feeling from lifting to the ceiling
A recipe for stealing hearts I have no power in healing
And I suppose the jesus pose is tired and superficial, lame
I wrote a song, Im moving on, Im praying you can do the same
Im changing my direction making a correction
Oh my god, Ive dodged the unexpected bullets behind accolades and
Shake your head of leisure get your head and body into seizure
And battle with whoever hides assault disguised as dancing
This rotting phase of hands that raise, bumping heads that pass each other
Its a boring phase, so part the wave and drop the dead as driftwood surfer
Another song, it all went wrong, the radio refused to play it
Im not afraid to serenade, the f word saved and sucked the life from me
Ive got to get arrested to keep you interested

The Freshmen
When I was young and knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now Im guilt stricken,
Sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a babys breath and a shoe full of rice
I cant be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I wont be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
Wed never comprimise
For the life of me cannot believe
Wed ever die for these sins
We were merely freshman
My best friend took a weeks
Vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks worth of
Valium and slept
Now hes guilt stricken sobbing with his

Spoonful Of Sugar
I adore a confrontation, and I should be ashamed
A carnival of complication, everyones to blame
We can see the rockets red glare
Pipe bomb bursting in the air
As we proudly hail our taxis out of the fight
Singing born of this nation of white bread foundation
Were taping a king, beaten of his crown
My country tis of thee, sweet land of irony
Spoonful of sugar to wash it down
I have seen the hungry faces, and I have been removed
Evidence in welfare cases, never being proved
Weve written books on education
Summoned federal regulation
Skeleton hid deeply til its bones turn to dust
I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I dont know why exactly, I guess shell die
My country tis of thee, sweet land of irony
Spoonful of sugar to wash it down
And God save the queen, oh, and pardon the king
And our ballots well stuff, then drink till we drown

Martyr Material
Its different now
I feel that all those looks were just a game
You smoked and choked on cigarettes
And acted cute and lame-and lame
Your parting lips that wrapped me up
In promised company
Now mumble that each breath I take
Takes from the air you breathe-and breathe
You were to share these dreams
But from this bed its different than it seems
Youll have to drag me everywhere you go
And youre not martyr material
You fell in love, you fell so hard
You said it must be days
I said that I am not quite ready
For your newest phase-your face
Conceding, lying, cheating
Deceiving relentlessly
My voice got softer
You could no longer hear me-hear me
