Nirvana – heart shaped box
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel's hair and ba__by's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Nirvana – Dumb
I'm not like thE5 But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
The day is done But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke But I have some glue
help me inhale And mend it with you
We'll float around And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down And have a hangover...
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun Fall asleep
Wish away soul is cheap
Lesson learned Wish me luck
Soothe the burn Wake me up
I'm not like thE5 But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
The day is done But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
{section: Intro}
Contradictionary flies
I take pride as the king of illiterature
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all, I was here first
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt

PRE-VERSE
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins
PRE-VERSE
{section: Intro}
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key
I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke
I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
Second-rate third degree burns
What do I think of me ?
What do I think of me ?
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key
What do I think of me ?

it hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
that you're only supposed to use once and then discard
where do you put it? in the garbage can, my honest friend

she's only five weeks late, but i haven't had a date forever ...

wish i had more ... more opportunity,
more chances to remember some things
so i couldn't have so much pressure on my ...
on my ... on my, um ... ah, on my ... um ... um ... head
(bass n drums)
we'd have so much more diversity,
and so much more input, so much more creative flow,
if we had someone in school, a 'git' ...

no, gwc, fuck man this is a waste of time ...
one more solo? yeahhhhhhhhh! yeaaaahhhhh!
you're personally responsible for ...
the entire strip ... to be washed away ...
cleansed ... as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
flowed through the strip and were set on fire.
it didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight.
and then perry ellis came along with his broom,
and his ... silk ...
and he ... he erected a beautiful city ...
a city of stars.
