The SOCOMTONAR Collection Volume 1

5. trainwreck 2 

she tried to not grow weary

she kept her head held high

high enough for him

to chop it off when she rode by.

her smile was so thin

you could barely see it

when against the white shirt

that we'd come to learn

was thickened skin.

she tried to make things easy

she tried to make things right

she tried to do the stand up thing

and not fold every night.

they never meant to break her

they never meant her harm

but after 50 million lies

thier smiles had lost thier charm.

and she screamed out from way down:

"i say

theres better ways

for me to spend my time.

i say

theres better ways 

for me to carry on.

all around me

what surrounds me

wears me down."

he tried to not go under

he tried to get it straight

he tried to make a man

out of this mountain of mistakes.

his eyes were way too heavy

like they went ten miles down

where things made sense

behind that half-assed stare

and vacant frown.

he tried to make things easy

he tried to make things right

(how long since youve seen me?)

he tried to do the stand up thing

and not fold every night.

(im two feet in front of you.)

then one day she stopped breathing

she held her breath inside

(how long since you listened?)

and when he saw her turn blue

something deep inside him died

(ill do whatever you do.)

and he screamed out from way down:

"i say

theres better ways

for me to spend my time.

i say

theres better ways for me to carry on.

all around me

what surrounds me

wears me down.

i say

to hell with everyone!

youre on your own.

i say

to hell with where we live!

its still our home

all of us here

every long year...

so you listen up:

youre just lucky we dont lash out.

6. the corner song

five steps behind her

might as well be a mile

her fake conversation

my nervous fake smile

mumbled reassurance

i cant get away

im stuck in the corner

and ive nothing too say.

does she know im not listening?

does it matter at all?

or is she just waiting

to jump on when i fall

and ride me down all the way

right into the ground-

cuz i sit in my corner

and i dont make a sound?

(i dont make a sound.)

no no no no no

yo yo yo yo yo 

is that how you'll thank me?

ill be blamed 

blamed for everything.

EVERYTHING.

that is why 

why i sit quietly here- im just wishing you away.

yo yo yo yo yo

go go go go go

is that how youll thank me? theres no need to thank me.

THERES NO NEED TO THANK ME.

cuz i know your kind

and i know your type

i know your style

and i KNOW im right

to leave well enough alone.
