The light peaks through my blinds as I lay down I think about everything I said I'd do wearing a frown Cause it's hard to keep those spirits high when the sun's around I think about how I spend my time when the night hits ground Why do I spend these nights alone? Why can't I wake before it's noon? Why can't paranoia set me free? Or why can't August end and I can go back to living? I guess it's just a summer daze The orangey glow follows me around I don't want to feel the humid breeze I want the cold to envelope me I want the cold to eat me I want to be a big feast for all the northern provinces and territories I want to be frozen to death And I want to see my last breath

I'm a monster in the morning When I've just rolled out of bed I don't want love I don't want wealth I just want to be fed And I can taste you on my tongue And feel you in my pores I wanted to adore you You wanted something more And I'm crawling through the memories Summers long ago Where did I go wrong? I really just want to know My love for you is dead and gone I just want to be fed I need the taste I've been missing I wanted you to love me I carved the perfect man I spent hours on his mind And I spent hours on his hands But he was a monster And he would not be stopped Endless nights of crying And questioning our love

And I can't forgive myself When I sleep all day The sun just shines so bright All my energy, it fades And I can't forgive the girls Who give themselves to me I want nothing in the world But to be the one to please Even when I grow weary And all these thoughts they fill my head I think these girls help me see clearly But they just make my memories dead And I hate when I see That I've become the thing I hate I wander the streets breaking girls one by one I wish they'd tell me to wait So take me back to the old days When summer made me smile Sitting under streetlights late into the night But friends only last awhile And I'm sad all the time Even when I smile But I don't want to see no professional I'm afraid of what they'll say So put me on the bus to a new town One where I can grow I'd like to think I'll miss the bridge But I really just want to go And I'm sorry mom and dad for moving far away I promise it's temporary At least that's what I'll say

I can only sing about one thing for so long I start to grow tired and I need a new song One that brightens my day and makes me smile One that's made for me and makes me go wild I want it all I want to be whole I ride my bike to the lake On a rainy summer day I see their faces in the water Songs of summer Awfully dusty Crying for my attention Calling out They're calling out for me They're calling for me Why can't they see I don't need their wondrous melodies? My remedy Wondrous Melodies Sweet dreams, Brian...

I train myself to sleep Because my brain won't let me And I deal with this disorder Of unknown variety I collect nothing but books on my shelves And they collect nothing but dust for me And I collect nothing but memories And they collect nothing but pain for me And I want your mother to know That her girl is coming home And I want your father to know That I won't bother him again I want to get hurt I collect nothing but friends And they do nothing for me I collect nothing but hearts And they do nothing for me I collect nothing but sounds And they do nothing for me And I collect nothing but pay stubs And they've done nothing I want to get hurt
