Get Rad

Willing. Waiting. I never knew this was inside of me.
I'm Dreaming. Facing my future now whatever it may be.
I'm on the brink and wide awake.
An open mind. An unknown fate.

I've still got time so I won't fight destiny.
At times I feel like I'm alone, but then I think about my friends.
I know that they're in the same boat and I have sympathy for them.
I know they feel the way I do, not knowing there is to come.

They know I'm feeling that way too and they know that they're not alone.
Nothing to lose.

Who do you think you are?
And what is your answer base
Be careful cause everything can change
Head up
Matter of seconds all off
Your recollections might
Become all that you've got left

It feels like fear
Like someone slapped me in the face
And then punched me in the stomach
My security erased
Its like alone with one subtle impulse
Has no subject
No object
Just a rest without a pulse
And I want to do it all again

Dumbstruck and disenchanted
I won't take anything for granted
That was the worst mistake I made, I made
Harmless remarks
For example these
Wet behind the ears and weak behind the knees
Well they all never seem that harsh
A simple call for concern
But now it hurts so much
Its the hardest way to learn,
Its the hardest way to learn

Promise
Whatever happened to you
Take care
Ambition and put it all into his mouth
No
There's some days I can't get out of bed
Cause I'm reminded what it's like to doubt you

Whenever another second passes
And I'm expected to be some merry god of strength
But lets hope I make it through this week

its feels like fear
Like someone slapped me in the face
And then punched me in the stomach
My security erased
Its like alone with one subtle impulse
Has no subject
No object
Just a rest without a pulse
I want to do it all again
I want to do it all again
And I'm gonna do it all again
Again, again, again

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You call me Al
Call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You call me Al
Call me Al

Inside, it's so peculiar,
Everything feels so frozen and overgrown.
I've seen ten thousand faces,
But they'll never be the ones I've always known.
And nothing feels the same when you're alone.
No one knows how bad you've got it.
Far away and long forgotten.

No one knows that the roads seem cold wherever I go.
I know that I'm old and alone until the day I come back home.
Outside my breath is smoke
As everyone waves goodbye to me on their way home.
I smile like a best friend might,
But I'll never be the one they think they know.
And nothing feels the same when you're alone.

Wide of the mark. It makes me sad.
But grief like this is healthy
When you've had the dreams I've had.
No one knows how bad you've got it.
Far away, but not forgotten.

And the roads seem cold wherever I go.
I know that the roads aren't cold back home.
I know they're gold.
I'm someone different now.
