Let Your Dim Light Shine

they say misery loves company
we could start a company
and make misery

frustrated incorporated
i know just what you need
i might just have the thing
i know what you'd pay to see

put me outta my misery
i'd do it for you, would ya do it for me?
we will always be busy
making misery

we could build a factory
and make misery
we'll create the cure
we made the disease

frustrated incorporated
i know just what you need
i might just have the thing
i know what you'd pay to feel

put me outta my misery
all you suicide kings
and you drama queens
forever after happliy
making misery

did you satisfy your greed?
get what you need?
was it only envy, so empty

frustrated incorporated (x4)

There's just no substitute for fun
I've tried every single one
And no one can take your place
Everybody gets replaced
My time has neither come nor gone
It just slips out when I yawn
Without hope I can't go wrong
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now
It's so hard to settle down
Don't recognize my home town
Home is where I hang my head
Lost in all these things I said
Been holding my breath for so long
I don't need air anymore
If you never let me breathe
I'll never breathe, I'll never breath
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now
Don't know what I was hoping for
I feel like feeling better than I ever felt before
My time has neither come nor gone
It just slips out when I yawn
Holding my breath for so long, for so long
Don't want to be bored no more
I know there's so much more
Don't know what I was hoping for
I feel like feeling better than I ever felt before
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now
Don't get my hopes up, don't get my hopes up
Don't get my hopes up now

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see
They're naked and they're following my master who is blind
And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind
So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start
Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark
I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart
But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart
Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
Better get yourself a little street smart
Bittersweetheart, sad but true
It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
It's just my bittersweetheart
It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end
Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends
I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell
It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell
In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start
But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart
There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright
I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night
Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
Without a shortcut, without a head-start
Bittersweetheart, sad but true
It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
My bittersweetheart it's the hardest part
Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
Are you in there, are you beating
Beating me up until I'm bleeding
How much blood can you spare
Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
Think just a drink might get you to the good part
Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do,
It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure
In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart

You got me going, so get me out of here
I should be blowin', in someone else's ear
I'm looking forward to looking back
On days like today
Though I wish you would go away
Stay, won't you stay
I'm gonna crawl, cra-ha-hawl, cra-ha-hawl
I never felt better just crawling home
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone
Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home from here
Some respond to pleasure, some respond to pain
I'm hangin' out to dry, in the pouring rain
Victims of temptation, never can complain
I could use the sensation, you see I can't feel pain
I'm gonna crawl, cra-ha-hawl, cra-ha-hawl
I never ever said I'd never make it home
It's just a stone's throw, a crawl home
Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer
I'm just a crawl home, crawl home from here
I could use someone, to drag me out of here
I am that someone, it's all become quite clear
So get me out of here
I never felt better just crawling home
I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone
Good to see you, see you later, and I'm outta here
I'm just a crawl home, crawl home from here

Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole
Why don't you go home and spend some time alone

In the corner I looked across the room
To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon

Caged rat (x12)

In the corner I looked across the room
I knew I'd be there soon, in the (other) corner

Caged rat (x12)

Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole
Why don't you go home and spend some time alone

From the corner I looked across the room
To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon

She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face
The flies are standing still now
The moon it spills through the place

And she starts wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone

She reaches through the darkness
Her fingers touch the porcelain seat
She spins and pulls her pants down
The cold air holds her like a theif

She starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone

The door comes screeching open
She walks into the evening air
She disappears in the darkness
All that's left's the faint smell of her hair

She's done wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone
And wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone

Hold up in a dressing room without a dress
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess
And I knew all about my surprised party
I was spoiled and deppressed
But I acted surprise and I told lots of lies
Yes I did my best

Stop the truck at the truck stop
I need something to help me crash
Food stamp cheque and credit cards
But they only accepted cash
That was sweat beating on my brow
My heart was beating out of my chest
So I stole everything they couldn't give away
Yes I did my best

And I did the best that I could do
With all the mess that I've been through
What did u expect me to do
I did my best for you

I was waiting for a chain reaction
With a missing link
Waiting for that trickle down
Forever circling the sink
I was tired of being tired
I could not get no rest
So I kept sleepwalking and talking in my sleep
Yes I did my best

And I did the best that I could do
With all the mess that I've been through
What did u expect me to do
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
