Not There for Me
Waiting alone
In the places
That you won't come
Come and you'll see that I've gone numb
Will you be sad at the song I'm singing?
Will you be sad at the picks I'm picking?
Will you be sad at the ghost you made of me?
No tea, No tea, No entity
Don't be stupid
Don't be sad
Life's too short
Ahh that's too bad
For me
For me
You were not there for me
Can't you forgive a friend for being dumb?
Come and you'll see that I have none
Will you be sad at the fraud surrounds you?
Will you be sad at the farce abound you?
Will you be sad at the songs you've prayed for me?
O.C., life's DDT
You're not sorry
Don't be sad
Life's so short
But that's too bad
For me
For me
You were not there for me
when when you pick those notes again
And strike that chord with another person
In the places we used to wait
Knowing that you'll never come
Where have you been waiting
Laughing away new beginnings
As my health gently worsens
I still remember those old songs neigh well enough
To sing them alone
To sing them alone
I'll sing them alone
Not there for me
Not there for me
Will you laugh with them
And with them will you cry
Never Knowing why, that tear might come
Cause I'm stuck in the places we lingered
won't I be sad
to pick that sorry note again
And pinch no note without no friend
I was wondering where you are
pawning my guitar
No place left to go
Do you think I can
sleep in the van?
It's a hard time come upon
I looked for you but you were gone
Not there for me
Not there for me
Is there something wrong
can't you fix with a song
It's a hard time come upon
I search for you but you were gone
Not there for me
Not there for me
Looking up cheats for a videogame no one plays anymore
Waking up late going to the liquor store
Not there for me
Everybody gotta be who they're gonna be
Everybody gotta be who they're gonna be
Not there for me
Not there for me

Searching a Del Taco Bathroom Urinal for the Blues
Something broke out
Through the corpus
Of the bathroom tile
Bruising all purpose
Forced perspective
Proving mercantile
Ah tell big brain that's been beat up badly
Heidegger Patty broke a bawled up baddie
Named Pom Pom Chomsky and the Transcendental francophiles
I'll see you on the road in that box office velvet of your mind
Coming out fast like a vacuum backing adamantine
Something's in the back that can't be no more
You can't stop stopped if your heat death's poor
And Schrodingger's cat's got the front row to your dreams
At Del Taco searching for the Blues
For the Blues
Now coming on
To diddy kong
Well diddy kong
He won't be long
He's in a thong
Your diathong
My Parthenon
Encephalon
To chance upon
Mesmeric dawn
You ponce pupon
Icosahedronic line
Awww, I got a pocket full of quarters
And my memory's split the check
Gosh, this credit card's expired, but I never paid the rent
Gotta get a pulse, get out of here
You're pulchritudinous then disappear
Fine
Girl they're gonna put us in a picture directed by Fellini
So go put on your comparative literature bikini
Cause it's veni vidi vici
And we’re going swimming in the Blues!
At Del Taco searching for the Blues
You gotta go bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold
Or go home
Go bold or go home
I was searching a Del Taco bathroom floor for the
For the Blues
Go bold or go home
For the blues

Love's a game
And it's a shame
But sometimes you don't win
But don't you do
What other's do
When I see you again
Cause I'd rather be your enemy
Than hear you call me friend
I'd rather be your enemy
Than hear you call me friend
In a time
When I was blind
I let you take me in
But don't you do
What other's do
When I see you again
Cause I'd rather be your enemy
Than hear you call me friend
I'd rather be your enemy
Than hear you call me friend

Asked You for Banh Mi or a Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich but Then You Got Me The Blues
This joy makes me dizzy
Unused to happiness
So Take it from me,
And we'll meet in a vacant space
Youve got the whole place inside yourself, and you call it loneliness
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth-- whether it's scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth. It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based.
Now if you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don't deserve to wear that uniform.
And i wonder why i still dont know who you are
Speaking honestly,
because if im making you quesey
Im sorry,

I wish that I could be as happy as you
I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend but I'm afraid
I wish I had my own way
but I really do
And I wish that I could have kissed Andrew
I'm a loner
Loner
Been a loner since high school, oh yeah
And a loner ain't cool, oh yeah
A loner just stands there, oh yeah
I'm a loner
I'm a loner in my car, oh yeah
sometimes it gets scary, oh yeah
And you don't know what to do, oh yeah
Just get loner and loner still, oh yeah
But I wish I could be as happy as you
And I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend
but I'm afraid
I'm a loner
I'm a loner
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Loner
