Now I'll Never Know

You looked at me
And I walked away
What was I thinking
I should have stayed
I don't know your friends
I never got your name
What the hell was I thinking
We could have had it made
I can't believe
You're just a fish in the sea
You are different than the others
The way you swam up to me
And I let it slide
Let it pass me by
What the hell was I thinking
You are a ten out of nine
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
You looked at me
And I walked away
I only had to make a move
But I moved away
I don't know your friends
I don't know your name
What the hell was I thinking
I should have stayed
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know
I said now
Now I'll never know

Tell Me I'm Bleeding

Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive
I was-a-dreaming of a place
Down by the oceanside far from these growing pains
Your venom is circling through my veins
Tell me you bit me, now is it too late?
To climb out these confines that you've walled around my face
Whenever I smile no one's there to see it's fake
Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive
You can't live without me
You can't sleep without me
I saw the ocean, the waves were red
They crashed upon the shore, upon the bloodied sand
You say it's nothing, but a fleeting dream
But I've heard the prophets speaking omens in my sleep
Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive
You can't live without me
You can't sleep without me
You can spit, but you can't talk
You can cry, but you can't walk
You can trap me in my bed, but leave a pillow 'neath my head
Please tell me I'm bleeding
I can live without you, I can sleep without you
I can talk, no I won't spit, I can walk, yes I will win
You can't trap me in my head
I'll give my pillow to the dead
I know I am bleeding

Numb

A disorder
Is in my bones
I keep on moving
They up the dose
What's the solution
To my delusions
The doctor says here
Here's restitution
If you take this, you will be just like everyone else
Unanimous, anonymous, a walking shell
They'll be no pain, they'll be no joy, at least you'll fit in well
So take a seat right over here, right next to everybody else
In a world of dissolution, it's easier to be like the rest
Here's the resolution, dillution till your numb in the head
An affliction
Is in my brain
I keep on thinking
They say insane
What's the prognosis
Of my neurosis
The doctor says stat
He needs hypnosis
Look at what I'm holding, don't you look away
The shining, golden pendulum that is your fate
They'll be no life, they'll be no death, there's only this watch and chain
Just keep on staring till you can't even remember your name
In a world of symbiosis, it's easier to be like the rest
Here's the diagnosis, psychosis, medicate and forget
In a world of peace and reason, it's easier to be as we are
Idle, tame, respectable, numb
Prescribe me a reality, where I can think
I'm dancing like a puppet being held by strings
The only real illusion is that I am free
To be exactly who I am and what I want to be

The Monday Specials Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Classic Rock Magazine-
"A two-man wrecking crew from Milwaukee. It’s sorta like
the blues, if the blues were made of hellfire and whiskey. And, let’s be honest, the best stuff always is. Wondering about the name? They met on a Monday. Which, it would appear, turned out to be a pretty special one."
