TALK ABOUT WHAT
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

She always said that she's a mess
and given half a chance she'd do it again
but to me you know that didn't matter
I always thought, hey I can find a way to fix her

So I struck a match and I soon struck out
how fast a fire can turn into a melt down
I was wrong I was just so wrong
you can change the key
and still play the same song

So lets talk about
talk about what
lets talk about what has happened to us
I can't get around, can't get around it
I can't get around what happened to us

I'm in a black car on a dark street
I'm being followed by the cops in a bad dream
I fake a left, then hang a hard right
but they've got a road block
set up at the next light

And thats just like it
thats just like what
thats just like what has happened to us
I can't get around, can't get around it
I can't get around what happened to us

Pictures and letters stored in boxes
I only wish I could remember wht the truth is
who says you have to leave it
like you've found it?
you will romance the past
when you can't dance around it

So lets talk about
talk about what
lets talk about what has happened to us
cause I can't get around, can't get around it
I can't get around what happened to us

I wish you'd change your mind
I wish you'd change your mind
I wish you'd change your mind
oh won't you change your mind?

HEAD SPIDERS
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

Well it's so late
and I'm chasing spiders in my head
somehow I've learned to crawl along their webs
into the corners
where all the dirt gets swept
where missing things are
lost and found, and kept

I'm feelin' like a bum
going through a pile of junk
but there must be something here that I can use
it's hard to figure out
what I could live without
and what I should have the sense to hold onto

I count the seconds
that fill the darkness in between
the thunder and the flash of light I've seen
but I get so nervous
so keep this storm away from me
and shelter, it's the least of what I need

I'm just a fake grenade
that's been put out on display
still everyones afraid to pull that pin
well they might be surprised to find
there's not that much inside
it's just a fuse that burns beneath my skin

These crazy patterns
are making faces in the clouds
they've helped me smile
though I have felt left out
and I spend hours
with no one else around
and watch these shifting shapes above my town

I am a crooked board
that has come loose from the floor
everyone be sure to watch your step
soon I'll be replaced
and they'll put me away
where missing things are
lost and found, and kept

BLUE IN THE FACE
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

I am pale green
swirling around in a sailors nightmare
where the waves like to play their games
that wash me out and pull me under

But I think that I might stay
in this whirlpool and just surrender
and give up on everything,
but determined to hold my breath forever

I am pitch black
trapped inside the frame of a coffin
the only sound I hear is the ground
it's a safe place where nothing could happen

So I think that I might stay
you can nail the lid, I'll just be remembered
I'll give up the light of day
but determined to hold my breath forever
I'm determined to hold my breath forever

I am ghost white
afraid of just what it is I've become
something in here isn't right
hey, I should leave, yeah I should be gone

But I think that I might stay
I'll cover my head with fear 'till I smuther
just give up on everything
but determined to hold my breath forever
I'm determined to hold my breath forever

WHAT I MISSED
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

I know that I'll be O.K.
just gotta wait it out
and though there isn't a deadline
I don't want to put it off
but I can not help but tryin'
maybe I should stop
if I could just reset my mind
turn the switches off

I can't think about it now
no I should keep moving
or I'll just keep loosing ground

So it's come down to this
I guess you've made your choice
but I want to know what I missed
I've used all of the pieces,
but the puzzle is still not done
and the box you came in is empty
Damn! this is so much fun

I can't think about you now
I should keep moving
or I'll just keep loosing ground

Yeah I know that I'll be O.K.
just gotta wait it out
but I want to know what I missed
I wanna know what I missed
Oh what did I miss?

MAKE US PROUD
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

I have heard the voices in the dark
And I have let the strings pull at my heart
I can feel it leap inside my chest
When I'm too tired to resist
It seems that change can be so hard
But that's what sets me apart

I have leaned on both sides of the fence
And I've kept my mind in suspense
If everything was black and white
Then I could get some sleep tonight
Cause I'd know right where I fit in

I won't walk away from this
So don't count on it
Cause I want to be
Someone who's proud of me

I won't walk away from this
I wouldn't dream of it
Cause I want to be
Someone who's proud of me

I know I'm gonna make mistakes
And I should watch what I say
But let's get one thing clear
I won't break down in tears
When I don't even feel ashamed
Cause I know things are gonna change

FALLIN' OUT
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

No one else knows
But there is a place where I go
Where the weather is never the same
Heatwaves are cold and ice storms explode
Into rivers of bright yellow flames
Oh I'm fallin' out

It's a terrified jungle
It's crawling with angels
Who smile and sneek up from behind
The night sky it's dead
They've hung signs up instead
That are written in brail for the blind
And I've fallen out

There are seventeen flowers
They bloom from addiction
There are seventeen choices to make
They grow in a pattern
It's a special arrangement
And it cleverly spells out your name

No one can get to me now...
That I've fallen out

Oh I've fallen out of my mind
I am out

TELL ME
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

You sneak out of my room
As I freak out on you
But to scream is just my blood type
Though you have the will
To see me through this season
Depression and confusion
they flood my mind

Tell me again
as I lean around the corner
I am looking out the window
as you gently take my hand
I didn't mean to ignore you
But I get so lost without it
If the sun has gone behind me
I am staring at the moon

If you'll read to me
I'll turn off the t.v.
And though I know the ending
I'll still act surprised
Like every word is true
And I want it to be
The room gets warmer
as I close my eyes

Tell me again
what I said when I was sleeping
There is something from the bible
and a necklace made of gold
I didn't mean to alarm you
But I screamed 'cause I was frightened
And I swear I felt the devil
wrap his fingers 'round my throat

You won't turn around
but I know that you've been crying
Though I never meant to hurt you
That's exactly what I've done
We both know I'm sorry
but some things can't be forgotten
If the Son is shining blindly
you'll still see it when it's gone

WHO'S NEXT
Copyright © 2005 Trespassengers

I didn't send out any invitations
I checked twice so I'm sure I locked the door
That voice I heard, it must have been imagined
Cause it's just me here with my guitar

I turned off all the lights in the basement
Just to find out that I'm not really scared
It's pretty dark, but I can see a little
Just enough to make it to the stairs

I'd go out but it won't stop raining
I found out what loneliness is for
Nothing's wrong, I'm not complaining

There's no point in putting up resistance
There's things inside of me I can't explain
I'm digging up stuff I never knew existed
Put it back before I go insane

Is there a park where they really sell amusement?
With cheap thrills they think I've never had
An idle mind can be quite a play thing
Hell it's easy to make the devil laugh

I'd go out but it won't stop raining
I found out what loneliness is for
Nothing's wrong, I'm not complaining
I'm not braging about my education
But I know what loneliness is for
A sad song can't make me change the station

I just relax and listen to some records
Who's Next is lying on the floor
I count the days it's been since you left me
Who's next? What are they waiting for?
