Nasty Little Thoughts

Stroke 9 Nasty Little Thoughts Lyrics
1.Angels

If it's not that far from where we are
I'd like to wait if i could
Until the day that the angel comes around
I won't find the solace that i'm seeking

You can't make me run, you can't make me free
The only thing i trust is what's inside of me
If i rely on you what am i gonna do
When you crush and kill the core connecting us
Protecting us, in all we go through

Is this my conviction... will it last forever?

So sad and hard it hurts for awhile
I feel it all... stop feeding off me
Don't ask me how you will survive
Or try to stay together amputated

Is this my conviction... will it last forever?
Do i belong to this?

Don't try to make me love, 'cause you can't make me see
The only time i'll know is when happiness is free
I won't rely on you...
'cause that won't get me through
All we've got is this crazy core connecting us
Protecting us from what we'll go through


2.Are You In This?

Sit still, take a trip into my eyes
You're unstable still to my surprise
Be honest but never catch my lies
Don't say you're the one who always tries

And don't say...
Really are you in this
'cause i can feel you pulling away
Not to mention all the things you'd never say

Now my visions gone to hell
I keep it in a box... with my memories
Don't bother with me... i can't take it
I'll be on the road with less a load
You're feeling used..... a little bit confused

Don't say...
Really are you in this
'cause i can feel you pulling away
Not to mention all the things you'd never say
So really are you in this
'cause i can feel you pulling away
Not to mention all the things you'd never say
The only thing that you really should say

More than a little bit confused about this 'n that
Can i have back all the things we lose
I wish it were that simple, yeah i really do
I'll be on the road with less a load
You're feeling used again


3.City Life

What's your story send it over to me
I'll take a look and see what there is to see
At least jot a few things down
Anything to let me know i'm in your head
And not on the ground
With the cigarette butts
From the mouths of all those little sluts that want me
I'm lying here with the negative thoughts running my brain
Over again, look where i've been, feel me try, feel the sky
Feel that your able to do what it is you need to when

This city life is dragging
This city life is dragging us down
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Anyway, well i can barely face the day

Is it already a quarter to ten?
How can i drag my body from this bed again
When i feel so heavy from the weight of nothing
It's not about you as i said
Now it's a quarter to two, another night run through
Without connecting to anything

This city life is dragging us down
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Anyway, cause i can barely face the day
I can barely face it
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Anyway, cause i can barely face the day

I'm already so far away from where i need to be
I'm already so far away

We move a mile a minute
Just to keep ourselves in it.
Now i think we've come to far not to win it
What is it?
If i wasn't here all of this shit would just go on anyways
If you weren't here
Everything would just go on anyway
That's what you learn
Why do you stay
When this city life is dragging us down


4.Down

Frozen fingers on my skin
Guilty hands clutching gin
Your tin, thin eyes can't see within
Soul to soul and skin to skin we burn
And the silence won't subside
As i crawl to your scaly side
Your eyes could never hide
My eyes and all their pride

My shoulder to your face is so warm
Dim light from the moon outlines our form
You're sinewy and shiftless and so forlorn
Between here and there and everywhere you're torn

Carving out a piece for me, saving three for you
Squeeze me tight and that's all

Waiting........waiting for you

To call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alright to be on the wrong track
Call out my name, speak to me
And say that it's alright to be on the wrong track

There's a warm breeze in the city tonight
Soft light makes every sad sight seem alright
And i'm spinning around and we're holding tight
Soul to soul and face to face we turn.....


5.Letters

You're leaving me here, dear
Alone with all your letters
You're letting it go, no
Like innocence and feathers
You're putting it down
Sounds slipping into songs
You're leaving me here, dear
Alone with all my wrongs
You're pulling away
Pray you're making the right choice
You're pulling away
Stay and listen to my voice
To my voice

Sooner or later you will long
When you wake you will see
Sooner or later all the songs
That make you shake will be by me
Sooner or later all the throngs of feelings
We used to appreciate
Will come rushing back

You're thinking about
How you thought you knew me better
You're looking around town
Wondering how i met her
You're pulling away
Pray you're making the right choice
You're pulling away
Stay and listen to my voice
To my voice

Sooner or later all the throngs of feelings
We used to appreciate
Will come rushing back
When you wake you will see
Don't wake me as you leave
Don't make me
Believe i have a chance in hell
Don't tell me what i know too well
Don't wake me

As you're leaving me here dear
Alone with all your letters
Don't let go of your innocence and feathers
Now i find every sound reminds me of our song
Since you left me here dear
Alone with all my wrongs
With my wrongs.


6.Little Black Backpack

Well i know it
It's a shame, a shame i can't show it
And i see it
I can see it now, but i'm so far below it

Don't wanna
Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back and
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think i'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

And i can feel you, yes i can
What about that don't you understand?
And i sense you
It's something sensual
But it's less than i planned

Don't wanna
Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back and

Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think i'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

You're trying to find a reason for the way you feel tonight
You're mind is lined with layers of lead
Have you heard one thing that i've said?

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back and

Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think i'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think i'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back


7.Make It Last

The fire flickers out, making movies on her skin
And in the embers she remembers all the places that she's been
Four letter words fly from her mouth
She thinks she's breaking ground
Time takes it's toll, she feels his soul
In everything around and i say

The way that you feel now
It's cool as long as i know
The way it's gonna be

Make it last for an hour
We'll never feel this way again
Make it all that you want
And everything that i need

The booze reaches her blood
She forgets his name
The wood has turned to coal
But our desire feeds the flame
Will we surrender to the night?
Or will our conscience win the fight?
She won't regress, but can't confess
That everything's alright and i say

The way that you feel now
It's cool as long as i know
The way it's gonna be
It's gonna take more
Where we're gonna go....


8.Not Nothin'

Hello i'm sitting here
Thinking and writing
Writing and talking
Without you

Situated in the corner of the corner
So far from nothing
Suspecting not accepting
That it's true

It really hits me when i'm
Walking into the market
I hear things i used to say
Is it wrong to be here anyway

Fade away
What was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay
What was i thinking when i thought i was right
Not nothin'

I'm on to something here
It's all becoming clear
Clearly confusing
Less than amusing
Castrated like a corpse to a coroner
So close to nothing
Forgetful not regretful
Of what i am

It really hits me when i'm
Hanging with other monkeys
Thinking of shit to say
Is it wrong to be here anyway

I'm on to something
It's something i'm on to
But it's really nothing


9.One Time

one time

I gave up 'cause i couldn't feel
And i gave in 'cause it sounded like a steal
Spending time on my back now
Thinking 'bout the facts now
How 'bout this and how about that...well here we go
I like to think i'm on top of things
But this life will bring what it will bring, you know
I like to think i'm on top of things
But this life will bring what it will bring

And my less that larger brain is contorting the synapses
Sent from the ends of my dangling nerves

Give me just one time
Two times
You know it's just where i'm at
I'm waving as i go

I got up, i never thought i'd get there
My mind doesn't mind 'cause my mind won't dare
Wake up, shake up and wind up on my back
How 'bout this and how about that
I wanna wipe the plastic smile off my face
I wanna win without entering the race
I want to say what i mean and mean what i say
I just need something to mean anything

And my less that larger brain is contorting the synapses
Sent from the ends of my dangling nerves

Give me just one time
Two times
You know it's just where i'm at
I'm waving as i go
You gotta give me just one time
Two times
You know it's just where i'm at
I'm waving as i go
I just wanna get through
I don't know how i'm gonna do it
I wanna get through


10.Tail Of The Sun

This is the summer that'll never come
It's like someone's holding on to the tail of the sun
I wanna waste time and walk the line
From my best routine to where i'm feeling alright
I can't hold out, i don't care about offending
The world's descending....

I know it's way to short, it rarely lasts too long
I'm just finding the floor, but when i look down, it's gone

This is the way it should always be
I've never had the propensity to work, breed and die
I prefer to spend mine on the fly
The be-er's got to be and the flee-ers got to flee
But as for me, well....don't worry about me

I know it's way to short, it rarely lasts too long
I'm just finding the floor, but when i look down, it's gone
I know it's way to short, it rarely lasts too long
I'm just finding the door, but when i turn around
When i turn around, it's gone

It seems like today i'm looking back
Well maybe tomorrow i'll see further
Than my little head allows me to
I'll be cruising then i'll crack
Oh something better happen to these feelings
That i'm going through


11.Tear Me In Two

I know it's hard please try to coax me
Try to elevate me to the level of choice
A scarlet sky, a silver moon is a veil before my eyes
How can she be so in tune

Tear me in two
And bore a little hole
That i can see right through
Your diversions my digression
Take me apart
Suck my blood until you stop my heart
You encumber my progression

And then you save me

It slips by, it slips right by
Much to my surprise
And you think that i drink to much
Yeah, well i don't mind
I don't mind

I think of all the time we've wasted
I think of all our time apart
Your scathing tongue is not the one
That i need anymore


12.Washin' + Wonderin'

This just in...where to begin
Grin and bear it, it's bear and grim
Adoration, titillation, i'm the victim now
Because she's figured me out
She lights my candle, she has a handle on me
It's going well but i'm scared as hell
That she'll figure me out
She thinks it's sacred to be naked
But i don't care, 'cause she's had me there
You see she's figured me out

And i wanna shout at the top of my lungs now
But oh my god, if she hears me she'll come running in...
These are my hands, these are my faults
These are my plans
These are my nasty little thoughts
I wrote 'em down for you to contemplate
At a later date

Well the word is out, what's it all about
Doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt
In moderation, this sensation would be fabulous
But she's figured me out
She's in my shower for an hour
She's just washin' and wonderin'
And trying to figure me out...

It's a little bit of something that i feel...
Oh man, i just can't deal...
And other than this distance that has covered me
Can't you see that you have smothered me

Well, you're out there, just stay out there
Just when i was on to something else
That's when she figures me out
