Yeah, I made a promise to love myself
But somehow I don't think that I'm gonna make it
Yeah, is that me behind the screen?
I see some shapes but I can't see any faces
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself but I think I need some help

I dont know where i went
my brain is up for rent
i fell like my whole is spent
I dont know where i went

What do you do
when its suddenly everywhere
When Nobody Really cares
When its Cool to Fuck with you

Do you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
and you cant even ask yourself

I dont know where Im at
I think i killed my cat

i'm president forever
i'm head of state and here to stay
the officer elect all of your life
i'm the leader till the end of your days

i'm president forever
accountable to no one no more
daddy look at me, i'm a big boy now
a brat to the manor born

who wants to go back to war with iraq
who wants to shoot a sling shot full of rocks of crack

No, I'll cut you in a minute
You know you should admit it, oh yeah
There's no turning back
I guess that you knew that
My eyes are turning black and my brain is getting fat
I'm staring at some ants that are swimming in shellac
I won't do this again, no
No, I'll cut you in a minute
You know you should admit it- oh yeah
Here I go again
I should be among friends
I'll let you know when

Born to be down
I've learned all my leasons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get use to it

And you just don't get it
Keep it copasetic
And you learn to accept it
you know you're so pathetic
And you just don't get it
keep it copasetic
and you learn to accept it
you know you're so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

Born to be down

You...You're not asking questions that I don't have answers for
You're hard to fool
But not too hard to do
You played it cool
But cool can get you screwed
And I'm way too fucked up on that to allow myself a way to get back
You..You're not taking actions for responsibilities
And these are only words
And, yeah, they are yours
And you know that of course
But we have tricky words

You pin me down - you box my ears
I'll get you back - Motherfuck - I'm no baby
I've made a meal - the first course is crow
Choke it down - cause you suck - I'm no baby

You never said smart was your strong trait
But smart never seemed to be a trait at all
And I never wanted to see you go down
But I must admit that I'd like to see you
Fall right back into your tar trap

You pin me down, you box my ears
I'll get you back... Motherfuck, I'm no baby
I've made a meal... the first course is crow
Choke it down, cause you suck, I'm no baby
You never said smart was your strong trait
But smart never seemed to be a trait at all
And I never wanted to see you go down
But I must admit that I'd like to see you
Fall right back into your tar trap

Yeah - I made a promise to love myself
But somehow I don't think that I'm gonna make it
Yeah - Is that me behind the screen?
I see some shapes but I can't see any faces

An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself but I think I need some help

Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool
You go ahead, as good as dead
Okay...I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?

I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Mess around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you... and that includes you
Mess around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer

I never said I wouldn't lie to youI never said that what I said was trueReal strong now- Manipulated

Writing what you say and saying it all back to you
Mayonnaise and malaise to go
The catcher in the rye caught a catch 22
Keep it at a pace - my life is like a crawl to me
Catatonic face - I’m marking time randomly
Mayonnaise and malaise to go

Dull and null and void and all my best instincts stink
They pay me by the hour and I don’t even have to think

I believe in someone
I believe in someone
You change my mind all the time the only one I know
I know it’s kind of sudden
But I believe in someone
I couldn’t say - how this would play
I’ve made my purpose clear
I believe in someone
I believe in someone
I believe in someone I believe in ones I love

I’ve never been this naked
I don’t think I could fake it

I believe in someone
You change my mind all the time the only one I know
I know it's kind of sudden
But I believe in someone
I couldn't say, how this would play
I've made my purpose clear
I believe in someone
I believe in someone
I believe in ones I love
I've never been this naked
I don't think I could fake it
It's as I've feared, I don't feel scared
I'd trick you if I did

Fucked up - drunk and stoned
Every choice has a no
Speech slurred - I called you again
You're not even my friend
I did it again
Choked up - I gotta go
every choice has a no
I'm broke - I don't belong
They're raping my favorite song
And every time I wake up I feel sad
I dream about the things I used to have
And how did I get into this? - I'm tied to it
Teased up - high hair disgust

You - you’re not asking questions that I don’t have answers for
You’re hard to fool
But not too hard to do
You played it cool
But cool can get you screwed
And I’m way too fucked up on that to allow myself a way to get back

You - you’re not taking actions for responsibilities
And these are only words
And, yeah, they are yours
And you know that of course

And I
can act like I don't see
Just who I want to be
But only for so long
And you
You can guess that I would know
Just where I wanna go
But I guess that you'd be wrong...
Why kill myself
To find out who I am?
When I really only want to be you...
Don't really see the harm
In lending me your charm
And it seemed to make you smile
But I could see how I could lose
