TROY (Wright)
late last summer 4 a.m.
what’s the deal Troy did you
want all of me or just a part
did you want in my pants did you want in my heart
go home mad and burn out gracefully
Troy everybody knows what you said to me
for this moment you’d give anything
you’ll do whatever you have to
to get away from me and then you say
you wanna come in but I tell you no way
go home mad and burn out gracefully
Troy everybody knows what you said to me
and if I had to do it over again I wouldn’t
but hold on wait a minute…I lied
everybody knows…everybody knows…everybody knows
go home mad and burn out gracefully
Troy everybody knows what you said to me
everybody knows

GIRLFRIEND (Wright)
I will be your girlfriend
I moved half way across the country
now I’m tired and I’m hungry
and I’m feeling determined
I said I would not be alone again
I said I would not be afraid
I said I would not be afraid
and I will be your girlfriend
and all I need is to be bold again
I lost all my confidence
and now I’m taking off my makeup
so I think that we should breakup
and isn’t that so just like me
well I thought I’d never be alone again
I said I would not be afraid
I said I would not be afraid
and I will be your girlfriend
and all I need is to be bold again
I’m running out of good reasons
a fire alarm went off in my head
you could be with someone else instead
all this time I’ve been wondering
if you’re not with me who have you been with
I said I would not be afraid
I said I would not be afraid
and I will be your girlfriend
and all I need is to be bold again
…and even if I am not your girlfriend
something’s come alive in me again
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
CELLULOID (Wright)
Take all the angels take away their wings
and you have what looks like me
and I know you said that you’d be my friend
but you have me on celluloid
what does this take away some part of me that is afraid
my heart is broken and I am paralyzed with fear
since you have not been here
and all these strangers live inside me
but your face is all I see
am I standing on some pedestal in your mind
or am I falling off it blind
what does this take away some part of me that is afraid
my heart is broken and I am paralyzed with fear
since you have not been here
still feels like you’re here but with twice the fear
I’m walking around paranoid
and I know you said that you’d be my friend
but you have me on celluloid
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
FALL APART (Wright)
do we have a pending expiration
at what point is this a mistake
and if we are still meant to be together
why would you want to take a break
I do I do I fall apart
Why do I do I fall apart
I’ll do whatever you say
I’ll do whatever you say
I do I do I fall apart
and what’s up with all this damn mass assumption
something inside me wants to scream
fighting for your attention is just sickening
feminine wiles will be the death of me
I do I do I fall apart
why do I do I fall apart
I’ll do whatever you say
I’ll do whatever you say
I do I do I fall apart
Two bodies breathe as one a monster I’ve become
not bad for a bad girl you’ve become my whole world
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
CRAWL (Wright)
Any other version of me
sounds good to everyone else but me
bowl me over mend it away
he is an echo calling to me
I am a mess so come home with me
bowl me over mend it away
jesus a liar crawl into me
bowl me over mend it away
gives us an excuse crawl into me
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
HELLO ANGEL (Catolico/Wright)
enemy don’t you say
I fell from a cloud and you caught me
you said that I am a light on that I illuminate
I say that you are a liar I want you anyway
hello angel
I know what you will say
cause we just don’t communicate
you said that talking is crazy but you initiate
so I’ll just sit here and listen forever if I may
I feel it and I’ll get through it and I know this
hello angel
I feel it and I’ll get through it cause I know you
hello angel
I know you
hello angel
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIRED OF FLOATING (Wright)
you may hover over me a while
I may turn and run away
and you will stop and you will wonder how
I could ever be afraid
and I may hover over you sometime
wonder how this got so lame
the inner monologue inside my head
my words don’t come out quite the same
I go for days without speaking
and days without singing
I get so tired of floating
my ears are still ringing
drowning in metaphor
always thought I had clear head
the further that I get away from you
the more pensive that I am
and you may hover over me sometime
wonder how things got so strange
the inner monologue inside your head
your words don’t come out quite the same
I go for days without sleeping
and days without dreaming
I get so tired of floating
my ears are still ringing
days without being
days without seeing
I get so tired of floating
my ears are still ringing
days without screaming
days without breathing
I get so tired of floating
my ears are still ringing
days without feeling
days without believing
I get so tired of floating
my ears are still ringing
you say what I’m gonna be
it sounds derogatory
our talks meant nothing to me
you never validated me
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
HOW DO I FEEL (Wright)
If I was breathing would you laugh again
would you despise me if I was alive again
festering inside myself again
something’s eating up your heart
I can’t be any other way
I’m negative I’m inflamed
and everyone’s stupid in their own familiar way
what the hell is wrong with me everything just bothers me
If I gave into all you’ve said to me
if I eliminate all the mystery
would I still fear all the things I’ve been warned about
would I avoid it all would I still avoid it all
what the hell is wrong with me everything just bothers me
how do I feel
I saw the way you looked at me I couldn’t believe the irony
just walk away before I open my mouth
you wouldn’t want this to get out
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
FOR ANYTHING (Wright)
There’s nothing precious about this moment
nothing special has been said do me a favor
and get out of my car
cause I’ve been feeling it again and I’ve been
feeling it’s the end I know myself I know what I said
If you don’t need me for anything I guess I
will not hear my phone ring I won’t ask questions I will not ask why
And she was waning sober and now I’m leaning in your doorframe
I got my keys in my hand I’m gone
and how could I say to you I was just using you
I know you would not believe me anyway
If you don’t need me for anything I guess I
will not hear my phone ring I won’t ask questions I will not ask why
And now tomorrow in a cold sweat you’ll wake up full of this regret
don’t misunderstand me I’m not expecting
there’s nothing precious about this moment and nothing
significant has been said do me a favor and get out
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
DIVIDE (Wright)
The pressure is there
but it’s so easy to deny
and all the signs are right here
but we’ll stay together for life
don’t hate me if I say we should divide
there’s just one reason to stay
and even that is fading away
it’s grating on my brain
we cannot sleep and we both have changed
don’t hate me if I say we should divide
I just can’t waste time on being empty inside
