Never knew how bad bad could be Never knew I was so angry Always thought I had one pretty side Saw how ugly I got when I let it slide And took you for a ride ‘Cuz it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad little world And I’m a sad, sad, sad, sad little girl Sad Little Girl Sad Little Girl And you know that it's true I’m just like you I’m just like you Is it too late to say I’m sorry? Too late to apologize? I tried once, you wouldn’t let me Wouldn’t look me in the eye ‘Cuz its a mad, mad, mad, mad little world And I’m a sad, sad, sad, scared little girl Sad Little Girl Sad Little Girl Sad Little Girl And you know that it's true I’m just like you Sad Little Girl Can’t you see through me? Sad Little Girl Can’t you see through me? Sad Little Girl Can’t you see through me? Sad Little Girl Can’t you see through me? Can’t you see through me? Can’t you see through me? Can’t you see through ME? I’m so opaque I’m so opaque Sad Little Girl

Destroy You 03:22
My fine old friend “Good to see you again,” he said Have a seat in my heart And blow my mind again My comforting companion All the solace I can imagine Why do you cling to Things that destroyed you? It’s a mystery You’re a mystery Commence to pick things apart Deconstructive Art, I guess Piece by piece Keep those I like the best The rest I’ve had to swallow To ensure I’ll have tomorrow So, why do I cling to Things that destroyed you? It’s a mystery My mystery Time will heal the way Time will heal the way Time will heal the way OOoohhhhhooooooohhhhhhh B-b-bye

Cat Scratch 03:07
Cat scratch Bitch black I wonder Am I evil? I’ll stare at you From across the room I’m yer #1 fan I’m in love with your band My good intentions Are in the wrong direction With you standing there Cat scratch Bitch black I fumble Drop things without seeing Did I do it To myself Or did i Do it to you? My one obsession Was to molest him So I fell apart Cat scratch Bitch black I ponder The logic of your meaning We are fluid I do melt No wonder I am bleeding My one concession Is that I learned my lesson From that cold, dead stare

Mister L.A. 01:52
not having you by my side to laugh and play with is building up a well inside big enough to find some fish and i just think it ain’t fair fate's gonna deal me a hand to do no bidding with and you and I will never be, well i just wanna make some sense of what my life was meant for and i won’t let you burn both ends of my candle you don’t need her anyways all she does is bring you down, but you won’t want me on your back always hanging around, yeah you’ll be needing a bit more time to settle your thoughts but i can’t fight this battle it’s already been fought, well i just wanna make some sense of what my life was meant for, but i won’t let you burn both ends of my candle, yeah

Obligations To relations Steps we’ve taken, yeah Compensation Through revelations Time we’ve spent, yeah What’s it for? What’s it mean? What will it bring to me? Where ya goin’ and where ya been? Where will you be in the end? You get so caught up in hopelessness And a concrete life Never seeing all that’s passed you by You get so caught in the rapture of Fast paced living You’re looking away from all the gifts you’ve been given Well, what’s it for? What’s it mean? What will it bring to me? Where ya goin’ and where ya been? Where will you be in the end? You get so caught up in hopelessness And a concrete life Never seeing all that’s passed you by You get so caught in the rapture of Fast paced living You’re looking away from all the gifts you’ve been given Infatuation With copulation I got my deviations, yeah I’ve got some Stagnation in relation To my growth What’s it for? What’s it mean? What will it bring to me? Where ya goin’ and where ya been? Where will you be in the end? You get so caught up in hopelessness And a concrete life Never seeing all that’s passed you by You get so caught in the rapture of Fast paced living You’re looking away from all the gifts you’ve been given

Saw and wanted to know you From the very first time And as the story grew longer Knew I could never make you mine On this lonely Sunday night Could you give me good reason? Make it all seem worthwhile? To do what I shouldn’t Allow myself no denial On this lonely Sunday night On this angry Sunday night Oh, you never would Oh, I never could Keep this hushed up inside me But I wear it on my sleeve And if you tell me something different I’d never believe On this lonely Sunday night On this angry Sunday night Oh, you never would Oh, I never could Sour For a reason Oh we never should. No. No. No. No.
