Monsters 03:10
Please not another chance at absolution put me on the waitlist to the institution 'Cause I can feel the monsters climbing back under Please not another chance at retribution put me under, put me in some deep confusion 'Cause I can feel the monsters climbing back under But I can feel the monsters climbing back under

Okay 03:49
Okay, I talked to you all day the things some people say I wish you'd go away Find somewhere else to stay Okay, I threw my phone away and learned where not to lay you just won't stow away I have to pay and pay Is this some fantasy of yours? Always knocking at my doors I've got things to do I swear I have to wallow in despair I have to shave off all my hair Okay, I talked to you all day the things some people say I wish you'd go away Find somewhere else to stay and never meet my day Okay, I read you loud and clear Okay, this road is ending near Someday, I will forget my fear Someday, it could take years and years Okay, I'll be the hand that steers Away, I'm smiling ear to ear Someday, I will forget my fear Someday, I will get out of here

Last night's squabbles are hanging in the air I'm trying not to care, but I just can't Stop objecting, 'cause every interjection brings you closer to rejection and disgrace Just give me something I can take in my hands Just give me something I can feel and understand After hours, I'm sifting through my day I picked out every mistake that I made I tried talking, but every word I spoke came out like it was from the script of the tirade I can't help it if everywhere I walk I'm stepping onto somebody's fingers Just give me something I can take in my hands Just give me something without question or demand Just give me something I can take in my hands Just give me something I can feel and understand

Channel Two 06:09
On your own now, maybe closet filled with hanging ladies but they're all too slow On your own now, baby transported somewhere else lately someplace where the earthquakes glow But you don't own me my television does and it's not governed by your laws On Channel Two do, do do do do do, do, do, do, do To the bone now, baby don't hold back and act all shaky it won't help you now But hold the phone now, baby I thought life wasn't worth evading it just comes back to hunt you down But you don't own me my television does and it's not governed by your laws On Channel Two do, do do do do do, do, do, do, do

And then it's torn up, taken from my insides taken for a ride I'm somewhere on the tundra, trying not to hide We're waking up at midnight and wasting all our time I'm somewhere in the ether, trying not to hide Ooooohh, oh, oh ooooh ohhh We're waking up in cold sweats and breaking out in hives I'm somewhere in my own head, trying not to hide
