The Twistinside


From "Sparkle and Fade"

We have been sleeping with the lights on
Just about every night
Because we are afraid what the dark might bring
I know, I know it's jsut a childish fear
That grows and grows wild in the middle of me

I'm gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching around my arm
Like a life that invisible and real
I know, I know, it's stupid and immature
I just want to give shape to the face
that twists inside
Both you and me

Breathing fire-doesn't look good on a resume
Neither does anything else we do
We got to get ready for the real world
Yeah yeah we got to grow up
You know I like to die for awhile
Everyday in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar
Wrap around me tight
I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world
Go twisting by

I don't want to die with you,
Or live in the same dark room
I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl-all curls and big brown eyes
Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her

I know the secret of your soul
And I just don't want to know-
Yeah, man we got to grow up
