Direction Is Relative (to Where You Stand) Paroles

it couldn't really be all that bad
i start to speak - my tongue gets weak
i probably should not say a thing

how do i begin to compete with all these custom built machines?

your best friends can make the worst dents
if you let them know what you have inside
and for two years a smile here
when it would commit suicide

i can't cope i need something to close
i mean this fizzling out a friendship is wrong
the questions were hard but you went too far
when you reminded me i only had one

how do i begin to compete with all these custom built machines?
how should i take what i recieve in messages you sent to me?
how do i begin to compete with all these custom built machines?
why can't you finish anything? all i need is some closure
more than a friend - no never again
you say my name and "its over"

inside this heart there lies a beat
inside you somewhere i'll find me
i'll make this distant dream come true
if the last thing that i do
