carry youwhen Iknow I’m all alone I say your name slowly and I know that I’m alone but I carry you does it feel good?like the memory? when you try some history it’s a dream to come around the rule doesn’t bend because thetaste doesn’t taste the same again It’s easy feeling righteous when removed all you’ll get is what you want tohear it hurts because it should how else am I to make it clear? I could never be the one that you want don’task here’s to living in the moment, cause it passed maybe a lie is what I need sometimes you told the most,the best of anyone you said to keep me in your pocket so I carried you better choose your words carefullybecause I’m not your anything going to stay here in my place and you’ll stay in yours because you’re onlygood as what your good for I pace around the room to spend the time waiting while the burning pictures fadeit’s one thing to make your mind and another to say its name I could never be the one that you want don’t askhere’s to living in the moment, cause it passed I’m still carrying a little hope that maybe, things could be dif-ferent now is that so wrong? is that so…wrong? would I see you tonight at a place we’d go could goingthrough the motions lead to real emotion I want to make things right before time runs out it was like you saidthe taste don’t taste like it should roll down the windows let the cold air come in slap my face just to feel justto feel you somehow again I could never be the one that you want don’t ask here’s to living in the moment,because it passed

electable (give it up)I came up like everyone they taught us all the same I said what they told me to say and then from that,they grade give up repeating the facts fact can be arranged here I am I’ll take my chance now, play therecord straight give it up talking points from talking heads with automated smiles… “there’s no higherground to stand than bottom of the pile” give up acting unaware you can’t ignore the crime the enemyis you as well the enemy is I give it up not in my name you don’t speak for me I am my voice and I wantto scream you want my air? you want my love? I act as one but I’m not alone give it up
