Tragic Kingdom

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming i like what i hear

And now i'm stuck in the web
You're spinning
You've got me for your prey...

Chorus:
Sorry i'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And i'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And i'll call you back

You take advantage of what's mine
You're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please just let me be

Communication, telephonie invation
I'm planning my escape...

Chorus:

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone too deep
You wake me in my sleep
My dreams become nightmares
'cause you're ringing in my ears

You see in the past i had a dream
A fantasy
I thought that we would last
Become a little family
Then one, two, three, four
The years were flying by
They soared
And it's my gut feeling
It's not happening for me, so...

Let's end it on this
Geive me one last kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

You see it's hard to face
The addict that's inside of me
I want to fill my glass up
With you constantly
I've been here before
But i've never ever felt this sure
But i've never ever felt this sure
And now i know i've been dreaming
And your actions
Have inspired me, so...

Chorus:

I open up, you ignore me
You're not the same at all
And if i could turn back
The pages of time
I'd rewrite your point of view

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance
To try somemore
But i'm tired, i'v freezing
Let's stop and call it history

You've been a juvenile
With a dolphin smile
With no elbow room
You've had in your little backyard
Portected by big walls
You didn't dare look over
'cause you've been too small

Now you're finally sixteen
And you're feelin' old
But they won't believe
That you got a soul
'cause you're only sixteen
And you're feeling real
But you can't seem to cup a feel

Why do they have to force us
Through this metamorphose
Little butterfly
No matter how you try
You'll be segregated
You're gonna be closed off
You're callow and you're green
'cause you're caught between

You're only sixteen
Try to cross the line
But your little wings are interwined
You're only sixteen
And you're such a tease
And there's nothing you can do
That can really please

These children
They're not really bad most of them
They're just products
Of rotten neighborhoods
And bad family situations

You know you can't forsake it
So sit back and take it
You see you're just not ripe
So don't try and fight that

You're only sixteen
You wanna catch a peek
But they look at you
Like you're such a freak
Well you're only sixteen
With a lot to say
But they won't give you
The time of day

You're only sixteen!
You're only sixteen!!
You're just sixteen!!!
You poor little thing

You had the best
But you gave her up
'cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time i mean it

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought clouded shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing
There's no looking back
This time i mean it

Chorus:

No more leaning on your sholder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, i'm not that easy
The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last
You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time i mean it

Chorus:

You're by yourself,
All by yourself
You have no one else,
You're by yourself

I'm like a beggar with no luck
I'm holding signs up
On your streetcorner stops
Like most you try not to see me
You stare straight ahead
Ignore the responsibility
Excuse me...excuse me mr.
I've been waiting in line
And i'd like to buy some of your time
I'm every anxioux, eager, willing.
What's your billing?

So please excuse me mr.
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't comfuse me mr.
I've know you too long
And i need is a little of your time
For most love comes for free
They don't pay the high cost
Of mental custody
I'll pay bail for a guarantee
Please make space for me
In the time yet to be
Excuse me...excuse me mr.
And i'd been saving up my life,
What's your price?

Chorus:

What should i do
I'm about to crack
And there's a force
That comes over for me
It's almost as if i'm tied to the tracks
And i'm waiting for him
To rescue me
The funny thing is
He's not going to come
He's not going to find me
This a a matter of fact
The desire you lack
Thius is the way i guess it has to be...
A little of your time
Please, a little of your time

Chorus:

I'm in line to buy time
I'm in line to buy time

Things can be broken down
In this world of ours
You don't have to be a famous person
Just to make your mark
A mother can be an inspiration
To here little son
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life,
Just with her gentle hum

So different, yet so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It's rare that two can get along
But when they do, they're inseparable
Such a blessing comes to few

The sky is full of clouds and
My world's full of people
All different kinds with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one's exactly the same

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And get a spectacular surprise
'cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn't know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow

Chorus:

Once in a while i sit back
And think about the planet
Most of the time i trip on it
To kick back and think about
How massive it all is
And how many others are one it

I often think about the world
In which i live today, of animals and plants
And nature's gift set on display
But the most amazing thing
That i've seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds
And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's exactly the same

So many different people
So many different kinds
So many different people
So many different kinds
Look at me, i'm a person
Look at me, i'm my own person
So many different people
So many different kinds
For better or for worse, different people

Since you've been gone
Since you've been unglued
It's hard to figure out
You're next move
One minute here
The next you're gone
Let's make an end
To this sad, sad song

For you it's hard to take
'cause the pull has an awful taste
Just open up and swallow down
Once it his bottom
Things may turn around

Unfortunately this is the case
You've got to catch up
And win the race
Straighten yourself out...
You can do it

One minute here
The next you're gone
Let's make an end
To this sad, sad song
They can't understand
That you mean to do good
I guess you could say
You're musunderstood

I know you're meaning well
But you're been shot to hell
Just come back and join us now
'cause i know that you know how

Chorus:

I know it seems
They're messing with your mind
But you don't have to go
Forward blind
So let the bygones be hygone
And let's make an end
To this sad, sad song
