THE BUBBLE SONG
Everybody’s in their own special world
Only seeing part of the picture unfurled
Everybody’s in their bubble----Don’t take it personally
The cause of all the trouble------Is that everybody’s in their bubble
They’re in their bubble-------Don’t take it personally
It’s about their bubble--------It’s not about me
Everybody’s in they’re own special world
Everybody thinks they’re a boy or a girl
But they’re in their bubble-------Don’t take it personally
It’s about their bubble-------It’s not about me
Everybody in their bubble------Can’t see what they can’t see
Everybody in their bubble-------Just sees part of reality
It’s about their bubble-------Don’t take it personally
It’s about their bubble---—It’s not about me.
Everybody’s in their bubble-------Their own reality
Everybody’s in their bubble------Has nothing to do with me
It’s about their bubble--------Don’t take it personally
They’re all in their bubble
Everyone but me

Manic Moment

MANIC MOMENT
When I Think How Old I Am
I’d Have To Say Five Or Six
When I Think How Lucky I Am
There’s Nothing Broken I Can’t Fix
What Am I To Do?
To Be Rid Of You?
I Am Made Of Rubber
You Are Made Of Glue
When I Think Of The Pain I’ve Had
And To What Purpose It Could Serve
Guess I’ve Had More Good Than Bad
Guess I Just Got What I Deserved
And I Don’t Want To
Do What I Must Do (but)
A Man Has To Do
What He Has To Do
When I Think How Great I Am
I Think The Best Is Yet To Come
Will I Have To Leave My Old Friends?
Just Till This Manic Moment Ends
Moment Ends

Being With You

BEING WITH YOU
Being with you is almost like being alone
I pretend you’re on the other line when I talk on the phone
Being with you is almost like
Never learning how to ride a bike
Being with you is almost like being alone
I feel as if I’m in a movie and I’m playing both parts
Playing in an English pub and I’m all out of darts
Being with you is almost like getting a bruise without the fight
Being with you is almost like being alone
Where do words go when I ask you
To some secret vault?
Do they just bounce off---bounce and get lost
Back into my fault?
Being with you is almost like being alone
Being with you is chicken without any bone
Being with you is almost like getting a punch without a spike
Being with you is almost like being alone.

The Shores of Heaven

THE SHORES OF HEAVEN
You are ----Hurting me
Desire turns to Death
So far-------From Me
I can ----Smell your breath
And it smells like
Daffodils----In a Garden
On the shores----Of Heaven
I sit-----I feel
The cut-----Of the knife
I sit -------I watch
The Day-----Turn To Night
And the nighttime
Brings hope and disappointment
To the shores
Of Heaven
Why is the wind so mad today?
I’ll try and sing my pain away but it comes back again
I drive-----You away
With every false move
The more------I stay
The more you remove
Your desire---Once palpable
Is absent----From the shores Of Heaven

Rules of Enchantment

RULES OF ENCHANTMENT
Flesh without bone couldn’t walk
Teeth without tongue couldn’t talk
Girl without boy couldn’t birth
Body without mind isn’t worth…much
The more I advance You retreat
The more you retreat The more I need
The more that I reach The less I feel
There’s less dazzle there when it’s real (love)
Here are the rules of Enchantment
All based on lies
I just want you to believe in me
Here are the rules of advancement
All in disguise
I just want you to believe in me
Believe in me….again
Believe In Me….my Friend
Lungs without Breath Couldn’t Breathe
Life without Death wouldn’t mean much
Friend Without Friend Couldn’t Love
With no Below No Above (love)

Butterflies & Candy

BUTTERFLIES AND CANDY
I got this power----Inside of me
I got this power-----Strong as a tree
What do I do?----What do I want?
If I was a ghost-----Who would I haunt?
I’d haunt someone out there
Who doesn’t care about me
I’d try to attract them----With butterflies ----And Candy
I got this power----I didn’t earn
I test this power----What do I learn?
I learn to kill-----Learn to create
I learn to love-----I learn to hate
I learn to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines-----That make a man feel randy
What if I got all I said I thought wanted
Would I want it anymore?
Would it’s value be based on hard the hunt went?
How resistant was the score?
What if I got-----What I desire?
Would I still want?----Would I get tired?
Tired of the power-----I never earned
Bored of the power-----What did I learn?
I learned to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines---That make a man feel randy
What if I got all I said I thought wanted---Would I want it anymore?
Would it’s value be based on hard the hunt went?----How resistant was the score?
I learned to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines---That make a man feel randy
Then run away. ..Run Away..Run Away !!!!

IF YOU LOVED ME (you'd help me kill myself)
Kill this pain
Visions of the END of my my life
Insane
Not so perfect plans with my wife
My life will soon be over
I’m in pain
Deep below the surface Again
In Pain
Apparently for no purpose again
With love I will complain
If You Loved Me You’d Help Me Kill Myself
If You Loved me You’d put me back on the Shelf
Kill this Love
Get it outside of my body Will you
Tear it Up
I don’t want nobody fuckin’ with me
With Love Pretend With Love
If You Loved Me You’d Help Me Kill Myself
If You Loved me You’d put me back on the Shelf
If You Loved Me You’d Help Me Kill Myself
If You Loved me You’d put me back on the Shelf
Hurts So Much
Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck
So much
Where did I get this god damned fuckin’ luck
In Love In Love In Love
If You Loved Me You’d Help Me Kill Myself (I think that’s what you’re doing)
If You Loved me You’d put me back on the Shelf (I shouldn’t be screwin around)

I LOVE BEING IN LOVE
I Love Being In Love
As Long As I Don’t Have To See You
I Love Being In Love
As Long As I Don’t Meet The Real You
You Are Very boring------Naturally

But in my fantasy
You are fascinating -----Infinitely
Stay indifferent to me
It just makes me want you more, love
Keep your distance from me
It’s better I feel unsure, love
You Are Very boring-----Naturally
You’re Not Interesting-----Naturally
But in my fantasy
You are fascinating -----Infinitely
Fascinating----You Are-----In my heart
Infinitely-----You are---In my art
You’re Great
I Love Being In Love
As Long As I Don’t Have To See You
I Love Being In Love
As Long As I Don’t Meet The Real You
You Don’t Listen to Me-----Naturally
Want Someone Other Than Me----Naturally
But In My Fantasy
I Am All You Need
Infinitely
Fascinating----You Are-----In my heart

HUMAN GARBAGE
I give and I give and I give
And you take and you take and you take
You repeatedly and throw me away
Meeting you was a big Mistake
I give and I give and I give
I can’t live I can’t live I can’t live
You repeatedly throw me away
Feeling utterly worthless today
Meeting you was a big mistake
Mistake
My love for you you never earned it
The Silence I get in return it
Is killing me day after day
I feel worthless to you when you say
Nothing (while I give you everything)
Nothing (while I give you everything !!)
Breaking the spell now requires
That I damn you to hell and retire
That pedastal I put you on
Put you down
Put you down
Put you down
You’re nothing
But Dirt
You do nothing
But Hurt
Me

It's Not Working
01:17

IT’S NOT WORKING
It’s not working I don’t know why
It’s not working. Can’t bother to try
Time to move on to something that works
Got to stop being attracted to jerks
I don’t get mad that must get to you.
You thought I was someone who would yell at you
So you could play victim and I would abuse
So people would love you and you could refuse
To give what they needed the most out of you
Deny them their oxygen. Deny them their food
It’s not working. I don’t know why.
It’s not working. Fuck off and die

The Power of Passivity

The Power of Passivity
The Power of passivity
No blame if no activity
And no responsibility
If nothing's what you do to me
Once you got the hook in me
You took off and then you were free
To tease and tease and teasing me
You dance and never answer me
It needs the vital oxygen
Of talk and conversation
It needs the water feeding we
Or die of dehydration
I suffocate
Dying of thirst
Your talk is cheap
Silence is worse
I write and I write I get no reply
I die and I die and I die and I die
So I ended the friendship
(You say) "I don't deserve this" Yes
Yes, you did nothing
Did nothing to preserve this
You did nothing…at all

INNER WIZARD
It’s time to sit in peace And silent grief for a friend
It’s time for letting go. Enjoy the show till the end.
When I’m angry gonna listen To my inner wizard
When they hang me gonna listen To my inner wizard
When frustrated gonna listen To my inner wizard
My inner wizard knows
When I’m hated gonna listen To my inner wizard
When elated gonna listen To my inner wizard
When the world is pissin me off My inner wizard’s boss
My inner wizard knows Where I’m supposed to go
And when he says mum’s the word It’s not absurd
When the world is cruel Turn to my inner wizard
Flunking out of school Turn to my inner wizard
When they’re all there laughing at me
All my enemies don’t know shit
It’s time to sit in peace And silent grief for a friend
It’s time for letting go. Enjoy the show till the end.
My inner wizard knows. What I cannot control
I turn over to him and let him win

YOUR BUBBLE
Tell Me About Your Bubble
What’s It Like Inside
Tell Me About Your Bubble
Is It Anything Like Mine
Describe Your Bubble
And I’ll Describe Mine
Describe Your Bubble
It’s Useless But We Try
Can You Truly See Me
Is That Really You?
Does It Really Matter
If none of it is true?
Describe Your Bubble
And I’ll Describe Mine
Describe Your Bubble
It’s Useless But We Try
To Find Our Way
Through The Fog And Haze
Through The Days And Daze
Will I Die Not Knowing
Who You Ready Were
Was It Truly Showing
Or was it just a blur?
Describe Your Bubble
And I’ll Describe Mine
Describe Your Bubble
It’s Useless But We Try
To Find Our Way
Through The Fog And Haze
Through The Days And Daze
