Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care

Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin, and I'll
I'll be waiting
Living like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel

Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
God it's good to be alive and I'm still here waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
I'm blind and waiting for you

You and I got something
But it's all and then it's nothing to me, yeah
And I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions for me, yeah
And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be, yeah

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
We got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

And I want to get free, talk to me
I can feel you fallin'
And I wanted to be, all you need
Somehow here is gone

I have no solution
To the sound of this pollution in me, yeah
And I was not the answer
So forget you ever thought it was me, yeah

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

And I want to get free, talk to me
I can feel you fallin'
And I wanted to be, all you need
Somehow here is gone

And I don't need the fallout
Of all the past that's in between us
And I'm not holding on
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here

And I want to get free, talk to me
I can feel you fallin'
And I wanted to be, all you need
Somehow here is gone
And I want to get free, talk to me
I can feel you fallin'
I know it's out there, I know it's out there
And I can feel you fallin'
I know it's out there, I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone, yeah
I know it's out there, I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone, yeah

You never know
some folks think the world just moves too slow
But was it you?
Who told me I'm your everything

You hit me like I never felt before
Hit me like a soccer punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I've never felt before
Silly for the last time

You never take
A promise from a man who sheds his skin
You had to wait
For my achin' heart to break

You hit me like I never felt before
Hit me like a soccer punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I've never felt before
Silly for the last time

Oh, everyone gets angry
I feel it when you're holdin' me
But in the right place, at the right time, to the right degree
It's a breeding ground
For the pain i've found
From dealin' with your scene
And you know that ain't easy

When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again
How does it feel
When you drop down everything's all the same
Oh yeah
Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum
Yeah it tastes sweet but it's not for long
And I just think you thought it would be

And when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine
How does it feel
When you find out what you're not gonna be
Oh yeah
They give you your image and the things you believe
Open your eyes and tell me what did you see
And I just think you thought it surreal

Chorus

How does it feel when you're out on your own
And now its too late to go home
And its hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy
Till you make it alone

Now you're a supermarket punk rock television comedy
Out on the scene
Yeah I bit down but now there's no hand to feed
Oh yeah and all the beautiful images lining your walls
Pop radio screaming down the halls
And now you think you found something real

And when its all about money and the things that you need
Live a big lie and they all believe
Now I just find that somehow obscene

And how does it feel to be out on your own
And now its too late to come home
And its hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy
Till you make it alone

Take it easy
Till you make it alone

What a scene...yeah

Its all been said before and all been done
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy till you make it alone

Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
And I wished for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
It's all I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees
Oh yeah, everything's all wrong, yeah
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?

Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And now my head's been filled with doubt
And it's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
When all your lucks run out on you
All I wanted
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget, yeah
And you choke on the regrets, yeah
Who the hell did I think I was?

And stranger than your sympathy
And all these thoughts you stole from me
And I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one
To kneel before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk
And all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
Yeah
Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy

Hey. . .what are ya thinkin'
I tried to read your face
Say. . .say what you're thinkin'
Don't carry round that pain

Everytime I see you . . pickin' at yourself
I love . . .I love when things work out

Smash. . .I heard ya cryin'
Seven times this year
Crash. . .cause now you're smilin'
Holdin' back those tears

Everytime i see you pickin' at yourself
I love . . .I love when things work out
Everytime I see you torturin' yourself
I love . . .I love when things work out

And I see it from another place right now
I'm comin' home before I hit the ground
Right back where I want to be right now

Smash
And I feel it
Smash
And I feel it
Smash
And I feel it
were i am now

Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away

I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

Chorus:
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her momma just called and said she's extra sad today

Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves

I wanted to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

Chorus

Now why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I'll take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all

Chorus

Truth is a whisper and only a choice
Nobody hears above this noise
Always a risk when you try to believe
I know there's so much more than me

Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing while you sleep
And no one can see

Chorus:
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

Sometimes you choke on the smell just to breathe
I need to question what I need
Rhythm of silence that beats through your mind
Still you forget what you deny

Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing in your sleep
And no one can see

Chorus:
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

Who's the one you answer to
Do you listen when he speaks
Or is everything for you
And do you find it hard to sleep
Or is it easy on your own
Will you ever find some peace
Before you're gone

Chorus:
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something
