Move On (Demo)

Why don't I care? I mean I know I should.
Maybe it's cause I know crying'll do no good.
I won't waste my time here if you're done with me.
Why stay chained when I'm better off free?
I'm sorry that things turned out this way
but now it's over and I cannot stay.
I think I've been here for way too long,
so I guess it's time that I move on.
Don't think I'm glad that I'm rid of you --
we both know that I wanted to see this through.
But there's better things for me to care about,
so I guess I can learn to live without.
I'm sorry that things turned out this way
but now it's over and I cannot stay.
I think I've been here for way too long,
so I guess it's time that I move on.
Woke up early at two in the morning,
wasted an hour in self-pity and mourning
lying in my bed in the darkness of nighttime,
trying to ignore the things going through my mind.
I'm sorry that things turned out this way
but now it's over and I cannot stay.
I think I've been here for way too long,
so I guess it's time that I move on.

Princess (Demo)

So now you've found yourself a new guy
and have fashioned yourself a new life.
Well, we're delighted for you.
You're sayin' everything is just fine,
but don't you know we can tell you're lyin'?
Why don't you tell the truth?
You never did when you talked to me
and now I know that you didn't mean
any of what you said.
But you must think you're better off with
someone who's just tryin' to see if
he can get you into bed.
Ruler of all she surveys,
she always gets her own way.
The sun never sets on the princess
but I know that it will one day.
You must think you've got a better man --
someone you feel who can understand
everything that you need.
I know I never was all that tough,
I guess I must not have been good enough;
at least that's how things seem.
Ruler of all she surveys,
she always gets her own way.
The sun never sets on the princess
but I know that it will one day.
Realize that you are not beyond reproach --
your feet flip, head hits the ground.
You aren't the only person here with problems;
I think you should take a good look around.

Steve (Demo)

Steve lives in a hotel down the street
from the corner store he shops at every week.
Steve don't have a job to feed himself
but he always has cash to drink to his health
and the brilliant way that he cares for the world.
When he thinks about it, he don't think much.
It hurts too much to think.
The cord has been cut, the light is too loud
and now he's lost in space.
Steve walks his dog in the local park
in the early morning when it is still dark.
Steve is in love with the girl on TV.
He wonders why she cannot see
that he's the greatest friend to the world.
When he thinks about it, he don't think much.
It hurts too much to think.
The cord has been cut, the light is too loud
and now he's lost in space.
Steve has always been the perfect guy,
the kind who lets his goldfish die.
The tank turned brown as the weeks went by,
so he flushed them down the drain.
Steve is the same now as he was.
High school hero lost his audience because
Steve never got a job or moved on.
Last night he passed out on his neighbor's lawn
and he thinks about the end of the world.
When he thinks about it, he don't think much.
It hurts too much to think.
The cord has been cut, the light is too loud
and now he's lost in space.

Bored (Demo)

Life could be better
from my point of view:
down here on the floor
with nothing to do.
If I had a life,
I'd have somewhere to go.
But I know no one
so I'll stay here alone.
Bored, and tired of living like this.
Thinking of everything good that I miss.
Bored, and wishing that I could just leave
because around here it's too hard to breathe.
Another great day
for me to forget
all these missed chances
I'll later regret.
Just when did I let
my life pass me by?
I'd be out living
if I felt more alive.
Bored, and tired of living like this.
Thinking of everything good that I miss.
Bored, and wishing that I could just leave
because around here it's too hard to breathe.
I watched some TV
but nothing was on.
So I just sat there
for way too long.
Wait by the phone
to see if it'd ring.
Just a waste of my time
'cause no one's calling.
Bored, and tired of living like this.
Thinking of everything good that I miss.
Bored, and wishing that I could just leave
because around here it's too hard to breathe.
