Mad Hatter

If you think I'll always tell you
Everything that's on my mind
Well darling, just get ready
'Cause you'll only tell with time...
And if you really want it badly
Wish upon a star
Because I want to see you better
But I won't get you far...
Oh I'm a mad, mad, hatter won't you see?
I keep my emotions under my lid, so please don't follow me
Oh I'm a mad, mad, hatter won't you see?
Don't know how to make you understand, so please just let me be.
I've got fear and paranoia
Dancing in my brain
I'm really scared to show ya'
I'm really not that plain...
I'm one and two-thirds human
But greedy as can be
My head is a mystic wonderland
So Alice, try my tea...
Oh I'm a mad, mad, hatter won't you see?
I keep my emotions under my lid, so please don't follow me
Oh I'm a mad, mad, hatter won't you see?
Don't know how to make you understand, so please just let me be.

Do You Know?

Do you know what I’m really like?
Do you know how I really feel about you?
Do you know what it’s really like?
Do you like to be trapped, and always feel blue?
The only way to the inner self is to show how much you really know
And I know enough to ease the pain, till it gets back on top again
As you know, it’s always what’s inside that hardly ever shows
How can I explain?
How can I explain the pain I know?
Can I ever be cured?
Can I ever be found and treated the same?
The only way to the inner self is to show how much you really know
And I know enough to ease the pain, till it gets back on top again
As you know, it’s always what’s inside that hardly ever shows
We all have the days where we skip on through
But you never know what’s what and who is who
The only way to the inner self is to show how much you really know
And I know enough to ease the pain, but it gets back on top again
As you know, it’s always what’s inside that hardly ever shows

Despite Everything

I don’t know you anymore
You’re not the person I knew before
And I leave you in good hands
I couldn’t fit your high demands
I met you out of jealousy
Now there’s nothing for my eyes to see
And I love you platonically
That was the beginning of you and me, you and me
Is there a reason why, you drag me down?
I’ve grown out of my unforgiven crown
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day
And maybe then you won’t push me away
I met you out of jealousy
Now there’s nothing for my eyes to see
And I love you platonically
That was the beginning of you and me, you and me

Celebrity Status
04:31
|

Listen to the wind blow right through your door
But right when you trust it the rain starts to pour
The power of music is a simple strum
Little notes in your head come out of your thumb
What do they think of me? Why do I care?
Every time I try to, it turns unfair...
Celebrity status is knocking us down
All these big people are pushing us around
Every young seed has big hopes and dreams
They’ve made up their minds which are bursting at the seams
How have you noticed? Is it all true?
Am I the one? Or is it you?
Do what you want to is what they all say
We have to teach them we want it our way
We are all crazy, crazy in love
Accomplishing nothing as we push and shove
Celebrity status is knocking us down
All these big people are pushing us around
Every young seed has big hopes and dreams
They’ve made up their minds which are bursting at the seams

Where We Stay
03:32
|

|
We’ve been driving alone, not even looking back
Just a singular road, our lunches in a sack
All the friends we have made are simply just a dream
Any problems we have, we push through as a team
With every town that we pass through I wonder
Why do we leave this today?
Through every job, every big blast of thunder
Why can’t this be where we stay?
I’ve been hired at least 300 different times
I’ve been fired at least 300 different times
Every job that I’ve had, tomorrow in my past
Every dollar I make, is spent on getting gas
15 years on the road can really take a toll
It’s exciting at first, but equally as dull
A new house every night to wander and to roam
But at this point my love, I really want a home
With every town that we pass through I wonder
Why do we leave this today?
Through every job, every big blast of thunder
Why can’t this be where we stay?

Utopia
08:24

|
I’ll fly somewhere that no one can judge me
I wish I was a bird or a bee
But in front of me a bright new horizon, baby
So sit back and wait and see.
I’m free out here to buzz where I want to
The air is cool and fresh as can be
Livin’ in utopia’s easy, baby
So sit back and wait and see.
I flew somewhere that no one could judge me
No telling what tomorrow will bring
Livin’ in utopia’s easy, baby
Just sit back and wait and see.
