Verse 1
I didn’t fall in love at 17
with a cheerleader or a homecoming queen
these things didn’t matter- clothes- old or new
or the people you ran with, as long as I had you
Chorus1
As long as I had you
The world kept spinning
long summer days were always at the beginning
As long as I had you
Verse 2
I didn’t fall in love back in my 20’s
with a college girl who’s only looking for money
These things didn’t matter- you car or your shoes
Or what was in your apartment, as long as I had you
Chorus 2
As long as I had you
the nights seemed longer
with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger
As long as I had you
Verse 3
I didn’t fall in love when I was in my 30’s
with anyone else cause I was still flirting
with the one I found back when I found you
I’m gonna keep holding on so I’ll have you
Chorus 3
As long as I had you
The world kept spinning
long summer days were always at the beginning
As long as I had you
the nights seemed longer
with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger
As long as I had you
As long as I have you

I'm tired of your guff, baby
get off my back, you're like a heart attack
you leave me cold
how do you make such noise
you're like a record baby
skipping like the beat of my heart
heart is heavy hard to tie you down tight as a knot, not not
never knowing how you really feel
take it, take it back, dark as carbon black
never left your side, you see
you've been set to stun like a gatling gun
don't you think you're fancy free
when you built the Sphinx did you think
you'd be sinking in the sands of another age?
I think you'd better think for the long haul
hall of mirrors smoking you out smoking you out again
you should have seen it coming should've trusted me to act
but you were swinging hammers in a suicide pact
and now that you have learned you could've used a softer touch
you doth protest too much
and for the record I would like to add in my defense
you're the one that's guilty of capital offense
and in summation, my duration, lest you be confused
is considerable, and I'm still here
I can see for miles, and I can see a lot of fools
no one's got the guts to come around and break your rules
seven hundred men couldn't tear it down, the wall of truth
I'm the only one who's standing here, and there's your proof
it's proof to you

There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
I’m gonna smile again
I’m not gonna fall again
I’m gonna be strong
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
You’re not gonna hit me anymore
You started this war
I’m not just a hole to throw your trash in
I won’t take it anymore
You’ve awakened the sleeping giant
You might want to run
I’m gonna rise out of the sea
And rain down on you
You’re not gonna beat me
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
And I’m way beyond just trying to get along
I’m gonna smile again
I’m not gonna fall again
I’m gonna be strong
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
Well my rage is so much bigger
Than the abuse that you deliver
The oppression’s in the past
Now it’s time to break the glass
You’re gonna wish you ran away
From somebody’s baby girl
You’re gonna have some shock & awe
When the giant claw comes down and changes your world
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
And I’m way beyond just trying to get along
I’m gonna smile again
I’m not gonna fall again
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
By the time this song is through
I’m gonna know just what to do
I’m not alone and I can win
I refuse to ever let it happen again
You can hear me getting closer from miles away
And remembering every blow
I’ll spread my wings
This will be the final day
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
And I’m way beyond just trying to get along
I’m gonna smile again
I’m not gonna fall again
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song
I’m gonna smile again
I’m not gonna fall again
I’m gonna be strong
There’s a Monster at the End of This Song

Arpeggiated archipelago
Serendipity serenity
Agrarian autonomy
Scruffy scofflaw
Ambulent amphibian
Infrequent forays
Lethargic leviathan
Blotto boffin
Don't wanna win em all
It takes the pressure off
When you're at the top,
and you look around
and you realize that
you're all alone and
it's all downhill from there
Ugsome popinjay
Rusty hurdy-gurdy
Welcoming welkin
Analphabetic soup

I'm a roll right now
13 bodies 13 towns
Little pieces all they found
Voices inside my head
Take my pill put them to bed
Never listened to a word they said
I Cant change anything
Don't wanna deal with the devil again
Shake my hands with an attitude
This time I have to choose
I'm not letting go
I'm not giving in
You're not going to change this
It's my only sin
Can't make it go away
Its coming from within
People call me crazy
The cycle never ends
Here I go again
It starts to rot away
Hurts so much I gotta. say
Down deep it will remain
Take off to another place
No one to stop no one to play
Move on to another day
It keeps on haunting me
Doesn't matter if they beg or they plead
Made a choice They could never see
I can not let them live
I'm not letting go
I'm not giving in
You're not going to change this
It's my only sin
Can't make it go away
Its coming from within
People call me crazy
The cycle never ends
Here I go again
For awhile, the pain is pleasing
Then I wake and I know
I'm not let go
I'm not giving in
You're not going to change this
It's my only sin
Can't make it go away
Its coming from within
People call me crazy
The cycle never ends
Here I go again

Some are lost
Some are searching all the time
For a moment, for a sign of Something true
I find light, in the little things each day
I found peace, in a way I never knew
It's all in front of you...
Your call, you can stand for something
Don't fall pretty little nuthin
It's up to you
This time, you can have it your way
Stand tall, not always easy
Worth the fight
It's your life. go
People change, or they leave the past behind
There's a fear, or fall from grace
Running circles, like a hamster on the wheel
There's another way, to have a taste
Of something beautiful...
Find the place and just go
Don't over think it or they suck u in
If you're doing what u love
Then you always, always win

It came from nowhere invading the cracks in my spine
they took me for granted and gave me a sweet way to die
the straps they keep holding me down and the needle are in my veins
They'll tell the others what they see in me
they'll do their studies and be done with me tonight
now as the second opinion will reach for my head
I feel the warmth of all the liquid under my flesh
I really need to be asleep now
I kinda like the way it makes me feel right now
I'm just their animal tonight
I'm just a creature here tonight
don't act surprised
out of the skies they came
it happens all the time
Before I know where I was they took me and made me their own
The subject of studies, a specimen without no control
This plugging and prying and testing will never get old
I hope they like what they find in me
I bet they tell their friends about me when I'm gone.
I'm just their animal tonight
I'm just a creature here tonight
don't act surprised
out of the skies they came
it happens all the time

This is the one
This is the one where I die
This is the one
This is the one where I try
When I am done
When I am done I will…
This is the one
This is the one
This is the one where we win
This is the one
This is the one again
This is the one
This is the one where I die
This is the one
This is the one where I wonder why
