JAR OF FLIES
ROTTEN APPLE
Hey Ah Na Na
Innocence is over
Over
Hey Ah Na Na
Ignorance is spoken
Spoken
Confidence is broken
Broken
Sustenance is stolen
Stolen
Arrogance is potent
What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start
Hey Ah Na Na
A romance is fallen
Fallen
I repeat tomorrow
Tomorrow
Is suspended my sorrow
Sorrow
Recommend you borrow
NUTSHELL
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Oooh...oooh
Oooh...oooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Oooh...oooh
Oooh...oooh
I STAY AWAY
Yeah, I want to travel south
This year
Aaah, woah, woah
Won't prevent safe travel here
Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shady
Yeah, hey, yeah, tears that soak a
Callous heart
Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you'll see
I Stay Away
NO EXCUSES
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disgusting truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's Okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well
I'll love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
WHALE & WASP
(Instrumental)
DON'T FOLLOW
Hey, I ain't ever coming home
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow
Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and don't know how
And it hurts to care, I'm goin' down
Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done and where'd I'd been
Sleep in sweat the mirror's cold
See my face it's growin' old
Scared to death no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I said
Read the page it's cold and dead
Take me home
SWING ON THIS
Mother said come home
Father said come home
Sisters said come home
So my friends said come home
I said
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep, anyway
Then I heard a voice
Said "Son you have a choice"
I then slapped my face
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake, anyway
It's too bright, over there
I can shift, cannot steer
So I drive them anyway
For awhile, then I stay
(solo)
Now I have to go home
Do as, when in Rome
Let me be, I'm okay
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
