Last One 01:32
I'm always the last one to know

Wonder Why 02:49
I find every day of life I'm living that I am never satisfied with the things I've got going on. I've tried asking everyone who should know and I would double all I owe, if I could only know what to do, who to be, and where to go I shouldn't whine, but it's all I know, so I will, cause I know how. This time, I had hoped to see myself through, but it's looking like I've got just a few more tries to get it right. When I get myself the hell out of here, I hope I find a reason why no one gets along, something's wrong, is it just me or us all? You would think someone would know by now, but it seems they're not around. We've been trying many years, doesn't seem to be getting clearer. So why try so hard? You're just going to die anyways. I find every day of life I'm living that I am never satisfied with the things I've got going on.

I guess I know you think I'm stupid Nobody told me how to act I could pretend as if I knew it Only to find it makes me sad I've been never what I ought to and I'm feeling fine Don't tell me what would you do cause I know that you're as confused as I You're swimming in the deep end, and I'm floating by Don't care about what they said, I found out it's all a lie You seem to see something I don't I don't believe that it's there I want to be something you won't Doesn't take much to make you stare Try and ask me where I'm off to in my own spare time I haven't got an answer, when I'm gone I go nowhere I'm never what I ought to, shouldn't be surprised that still I never plan to, no ones given me a reason why

Loser 03:56
Just something new, not all I wanted might stay with you, if I'm allowed not that I will be It's hard to know if I'm wasting my time with you Cause every time it turns out that I'm wrong No way to get my words across Nothing to mitigate the loss What can I do, not what you wanted I wish I knew, but it's alright I'm not surprised It's hard to be so certain what it means to you all in all I guess I just won't think about it I'm waiting at the door Don't want to do this anymore Still I feel like I'm dumb, but that's okay I wouldn't have it any other way At least it feels a lot better to say as if I had a choice How can I say that you're wasting your time with me Especially cause I wish it wasn't true No way to get my words across Nothing to mitigate the loss
5.
Nausea 03:01
My eyes tell me what's wrong, so I look away Sleeping all the day long, trying just to escape And they tell me it's nothing If I gave away that I was afraid, would it still be alright and would I stand a chance When the world out there never has cared could it still be worthwhile Maybe I've got it wrong, mostly I'm fine Lately I've been getting along, give it some more time But don't tell me it's nothing If I gave away that I was afraid would it still be alright and would I stand a chance When the world out there never has cared, could it still be worthwhile I don't know who to trust my gut or my head, seems both want me dead and I'm not sure about what I can't figure out is since I'm alive, and though I feel strange could I still be happy here?
6.
I Might 03:58
I just don't know if I would like to be with you only I can't believe my heart is right, so I'll have to go on as if it wasn't there, as if it wasn't even there If I decide to take a bite, I think I might Just have to go, cause all I know is this just isn't what I've been told, to feel this way, to be in pain, I wish I'd grow up, but it just stays I will admit, you do delight, but I've got a mouthful I wish I could give you my life, but I find it doubtful that I would feel the same so many years from now But if I do leave you behind, I think I might just lose my mind

I know you're bored, I can see I am also, but it's fine with me I always have to wait for inspiration till it hits me but for now I don't have much to say What's wrong with nothing? If it makes you cry, that's on you I'm sick of trying just to think of things to do If it was over now, would you be prepared? I know one thing, nothing isn't scared like you

Bright Idea 02:42
Rewind first time I told you I loved you In fact it was the only time I was asking to be crushed alive How could I dare Why should I care But still I do and I just don't know why I should forget Believe me I've tried I would if I could What if I told you that I've gone months Not thinking of you, and it felt good But here I am, back where I started When I felt happy, but I don't now If only as if I could ever forget it What a bright idea, put it out for everyone to hear Maybe if I play it one more time, that will put it off my mind for good
10.
Fine 01:41
I guess it will be fine this happens all the time at least as far as I know Yes it's best to leave alone so I'll just let it go what else is there to do Thanks for coming to the show I just want you to know that this is all i have for you In the end we're all alone so make yourself at home what else is there to do Half the time you're running from yourself Can't even withstand to sit still But if you never learn to take a breath or two Then you'll just end up right back where you are

bah dah

Decline 03:26
Oh, as time passes by I know some day we both will die Know, that after all's re-arranged You're still dear to me Guess I haven't changed Or maybe I have But I feel the same Though, if given the choice to stay I would still decline How could I want this forever

about

With their bellies full of Mickey D's, a skip in their step, and a wry smile, CREAM DREAM sets forth to destroy the world. Human kind has had a good run, but it's time for better things. By listening to the heart-healthy vibrations of Big D's feather dusted, air tight, karate-chop drum sticks, Garbo Darbey's fwubby bass nugz, and the stilted shimmer of mostly useless Merckx Halfman's out-of-tune stratocaster, your soul will be sucked straight out of your eye balls. CREAM DREAM is reelin' in the big one, so be prepared. You knew it was coming.
