A[ The Day Began Well ]
[ Why It Went Left ]
[ I Could Not Tell ]
[ Was This Something On Which I Wanted To Dwell? ]
[ Maybe What Is To Blame ]
[ Is The Hours That I Spend On That Game ]
[ Maybe It Is Predictable ]
[ That It Would Be So Addictable ]
[ One Game Leads To Four ]
[ That Is Not Enough ]
[ So I Play Many More ]
[ Sometimes It Only Takes Two Minutes To Complete ]
[ Sometimes Words Will Always Repeat ]
[ Those Are The Easy Ones To Find ]
[ I See The First Two Letters ]
[ That Drift Into My Mind ]
[ Then I Have To Remember ]
[ To Hit Rewind ]
[ But The Day Started Off Alright ]
[ But The Day ]
[ Turned Into Night ]
[ & In A Small Way ]
[ Lost Its Light ]

[ There Is No Other Person Around ]
[ Was The Noise ]

[ Was Just Me ]
[ Standing Here ]
[ Then How Do I Get Away? ]

[ What If I Spun Around Until My Head Will Spin? ]
[ I’d Probably Fall On My Butt ]
[ & Never Want To Do That Again ]
[ I Don’t Want To Go Outside Because Of All Of The Violence ]
[ I’d Stay In & Create My Own Silence ]
[ Sometimes Silence Is A Good Thing ]
[ Sometimes I Like The Smiles ]
[ That It Brings ]
[ The Smiles & Good Times ]
[ That Are Not Attached With Strings ]
[ Nothing Asked For, Nothing Borrowed ]
[ Not A Single Demand ]
