Orange County

The plastic sun that hangs over Orange County
Is as beautiful as all of its surroundings
Neighborhoods are quiet and empty
Everybody does the same old fucking thing
And I feel quietly erased
Always ignored and out of place
And out of touch with myself
When you sneak into the hills late at night
Instead of stars you look at all the city lights
Do you think that anything is meaningful
If everything you see is artificial
And all the things that aggravate you
As loneliness just permeates you
All you want to do is scream
(interlude)
I don't really know how to have shallow fun
Like Disney Land or house parties of the undie run
And so I spend a lot of time just by myself
Sometimes greener grass is really somewhere else
And the one I love is out of state
I feel like all I do is sit around and wait
Until I get to see her face
New York is very very far away
From this place that I am really beginning to hate
Yet there's still a feeling that I cannot shake
What if it gets worse what if its a big mistake
But without chances that you take
Your circumstances never change
But the choice is always yours to make
I will choose to try
Leave it all behind
To be with you

No one told her she could choose
I guess they just assumed
It was something that she already knew
So she got all tied up with string
And even if the knot was loose
She would never try to undo it
Bound by all her puppeteers
She couldn't find her tears
And now she only listens with other peoples ears
And sees with other peoples eyes and cries other peoples cries
Why oh why do I seem to feel so fucking empty all the time
She asked me, I had no reply
Sometimes she stares at the sun
And the light stains her eyes
All she can see is beautiful designs
Its better for her not to see the world
In all its grays and browns
So she looks up at the sky instead of looking down
But her escape is always short lived
It's never long enough to forget or forgive
To take or to give
Why oh why do I seem to feel so fucking angry all the time
She asked me with tears in her eyes
Why oh why do I seem to feel like I am living a lie
Everyone tries to explain but no one is right
All of the sudden
One of her strings came untied

Beat Myself Up

I don't feel like thinking of something to say
Because I can't make it go away
Somethings you just can't erase
Without making a bigger mistake
But if I beat myself up
I know just when to stop
I can say when enough is enough
It's a terrible gift if you're prone to it
A memory that just doesn't quit
The film loops around where you're trapped in a pit
Always ends with you losing your shit
It's a beautiful design I was tracing the lines with my eyes
Now I'm hypnotized
A hand is raised questions arise
Are you alright
But if I beat myself up
I don't know when to stop
I can't tell when enough is enough
That's enough that's enough
(guitar solo)
If you beat yourself up too much
You'll never stop
There's a part of you that can't get enough
