SR-71 Album

I can be as humble as the next guy
Or I can blink and make you crumble from the inside
I could be every nasty thing, you ever thought a man could be

Cuz they all fall down (down)
Cuz they all fall down (down)

I can make you see the beauty of a new sun
or I can be the source of your desperation
I could be every nasty think, you ever dreamt a man could be

[chorus]

Jaded, dated, I'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, I'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, I'm what you've always wanted [x2]

you can turn away like you don't even see me
Yea, you can smile like you got something I need
but every night you go home alone
and dream about being underneath me

[chorus]

Jaded, dated, I'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, I'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, I'm what you've always wanted [x2]

can't you see through this disguise 
Find the little boy inside
I'm afraid of falling
Love is pain and now she's calling
and she's, 
Jaded, dated, I'm the type you hated
haunted, taunted, I'm what you've always wanted
yeah, yeah, I'm what you've always wanted [x2]

Is it any wonder why I'm scared, 
If I was a little younger would I 
care, 
feeling like the walls are growing stronger, 
i don't know if this cage can hold me any longer

you never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded, 
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded

I'm not afraid of tomorrow, 
I'm only scared of myself, 
feels like my insides are on fire, and I'm looking through the eyes of someone
else

I never thought they'd want me to go even faster, 
never thought I took my foot off the gas, 
everybody loves to be in on the pressure, 
but I know they're all waiting for the crash

you never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded, 
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded, 
things have changed you've become a complication, 
can make it through another days 
humiliation

I'm not afraid of tomorrow, 
I only scared of myself, 
feels like my insides are on fire and I'm looking through the eyes of someone
else

someone else...

is it any wonder why the answer keeps me petrified , 
is it any wonder why , 

The fastest man in the world, fast asleep at the wheel
Nobody wants to be alone, so how did I get, here
When I look at you, I see him staring through
Awake and a smile, cuz he's been inside of you
Is he all the things you, tried to change me into?
Is he everything to you?

Does he make you high, make you real?
Does he make you cry? Does he know the way you feel?
Love is all around you, your universe is full
But in my world, there is only you

I can still find the smell
On my clothes and skin
I can still see your face, when you're sleeping next to him
Is he all the things you, tried to change me into?
Tell me does he

[chorus]

I've had enough of fears, you let them out
Now I wrap myself around you 
Like a blanket full of doubt
He's your everything

[chorus]

You make me high! You make me real!
You make me cry! Now you know the way I feel
Love is all around you, your universe is full

Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the words that made you feel you weren't alone
Now it's funny how we find out
Time can solve the mystery but love is only temporary
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just
For show
Inside you screaming let me go
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I head back underground
Hello Hello
I bring you letters from the man you used to know
Give in let go
To the images that made you feel at home
Now it's funny how we find out
How age can change a man
Confused but now I understand
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello
Loneliness doesn't make a sound
Till I head back underground
Hello Hello
The smile on your face is just for show
Inside me you're screaming let me go
Hello Hello
You're swimming faster than you know
But you can't fight the undertow
Hello Hello

Blood and dust have changed all the colors in my mind
Black has made me see but the truth has made me blind
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
In your sympathetic Sunday night I don't belong
Till all the hate that lines the face of my enemy is gone
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has leaked but I can't breathe
The new day is a prison for the souls who've lost hope
But I've been taught change comes to the ones who need it most
All the fears
All the lies
They were here

I'm everything you know
You wonder friend of foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow
But you spit me out
Your stomach full of doubt
And still you're faking every word out of your mouth
But you won't let go
It's all about control
Understand I'm born to lead you will follow
I don't wanna stay
I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Goodbye...so long...nice try...I'm gone
You don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget the way you made me feel
I won't regret running away from here
You think you see the world well you see nothing
Time is only gonna make it worse in the end
So I'll say goodbye again
Now it's there to see
You've forgiven me
Ever since I was the prince among thieves
So you hold me down
Strip away my crown
Can't contain me knowing all the truth I found
Always thinking small
Helping me to fail
Now you're jealousy and hate consumes us all
I don't wanna stay
I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Don't hit me with you fears
I won't fit with your ideas
You missed what I'm about
I earned my way out
And in the end

From the minute that I met here she was different than the rest
But I didn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
And I wish I would have listened 'cause I think I might have seen the signs
Now it's been a couple months and I can't take another word
She's been pushing every button she's been working every nerve
I've got something she can swallow it sure as hell's not my pride
And I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth instead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
Till the minute that we said goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish... she was dead
I used to hang out with my homies gettin stupid every night
Till I met her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
I got to get away from her I think I'm running out of time
'Cause I think I'm gonna die whenever she's behind the wheel
And it drives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel
I don't really want to talk so I tell her that I'm doing fine
There's got to be a way that I can get it through her head
I'm going crazy and she won't let me go
The lease gets tighter every day
Already told her she's Miss Right Now

You see yourself being so small
Running into every brick wall
It's not as far as you can go
The road is twisting turning
A life is living learning
There's so much more for you to know

[Chorus]
If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
If I could change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

Not every problem can be
Solved so easily
Not every answer is the one
Above the flood of emotion
It's all about forward motion
Define your place in the sun

[Chorus]

Try to hide
It's all inside
You can find a place where the pain and guilt can fall away

If you're spitting truth
Bulletproof
Crashing through the walls that separate me and you

Now you'll find with everything you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose

If you could lock the past away
Step back through the doorway
This ride has just begun
Change your point of view
Is there someway I can show you
The best is yet to come

[Chorus]

Is there someway I can show you

If you wanted to
Could your heart be true
If you wanted to
Could you not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
If you wanted it
Just break off a bit
If you wanted a taste of it
Somebody else's world
I'm a Broken Handed Superman
You're a Krypto-Nightingale Snow White
Now I understand
It's something I understand
Some things I understand
If I wanted to
Could my faith be true
If I wanted to
Could I not want
Anyone else's world
Anyone else's world
When I wanted it
I'd break off a bit
If I wanted a taste of
Someone's world
Somebody else's world
There is no sin and virtue here
Always see me
All my demons

I drowned my girlfriend in her wishing well
I'm not afraid of afterlife hell
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I lit a fire on my neighbor's lawn
I didn't know to me they were were my pawns
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I know it's not considered right
The way I live my days and nights
I always thought I'd rather be considered lucky than good
I buy my porn off the internet
I get so much fucking junk mail...my only regret
'Cause I live it everyday
I live it every day
I know we don't think alike
Your always wrong I'm always right
Acting not so secretly

Make this moment last forever and a day
Watching you drive by
Not letting you drive away
Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
'Cause I need to see you one more time
You'll always be there in my mind
In my dreams you can hide
And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
They're in my mind
An angel bathed in light
Telling me everything's gonna be alright...
If I can fall asleep tonight
Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
So I'm skipping the last page to see how this will end
Have you ever felt so helpless
When the walls built to protect us
Suddenly are gone
And you hate everything that's breathing
The life you're used to cheating

(Mitch Allan)

I'm one of those things you'll save forever, but never need.
Like an old newspaper no one has time to read
This child has grown into a dead end
Since I lost the power to pretend

But it's all right, that's who I am inside
Not much to say on this non-toxic, ordinary day

That's no superhero standing right in front of us
So take this pocket full of Kryptonite and beat it back to Metropolis
There's only room for one on this microphone
In my finest hour I'm still alone

But old news can change, as memories float downstream
