Hey Dina. You said, with a fake laugh on your tongue, That you were a single mom with five kids. I bet when you were young, You thought you could conquer the world. You thought you’d be a happy girl, But life came to you in the form of a man and he fucked you up with his dry, dirty hands, And you were left thinking no one understands, especially some kid from a shitty band, But I know. You lied through your teeth, but not through your eyes. Hey Nick. You said that you worked for your mother, And that job was not a bad job, but you wanted another. You opened up pretty quick, but your stories made me sick. With your hands in your lap, twiddling your thumbs, you told us your old boss was totally dumb. But then you took my words right out of my mouth. You go to county college, but want to get out, And I know. You lied through your teeth, but not through your eyes. One couldn't cut the sadness in the room with the sharpest machete. We were all headed for doom but we were not ready. Hey Mary. You said your kids are in their forties And you kept stopping the program to tell us little stories. I could tell you were annoyed to help the recently employed, 'Cause you kept asking why we wouldn't talk, and I saw you clenching your fists on the walk, We took through the store, but what would we say? We just do not know each other that way, And I know you lied through your teeth but not through your eyes. Hey Dan. You said that you were in a band, And that you love music. Hey man, I fully understand. You dropped right out of your school. Society sees you as a fool. But under the surface, I'm sure there is good, 'Cause nobody's dumb, we're just misunderstood. And you were so quiet. You didn't say much, but I could just tell you hadn't a clutch, On your life. You lied through your teeth but not through your eyes. We're only halfway through employee orientation and I know all of you better than I know myself, 'Cause it's true: I lied through my teeth but not through my eyes. And I really hope that you like my disguise. I guess I'll see you around as we work away our lives, And lie through our teeth but not through our eyes.

I waited for your call, but you were busy typing reports. I couldn't sleep at all, and late at night my mind resorts, To a bitter state of mind that you know all about. I cannot take such time, I want to let my feelings out. And it's sad to know that we live in this world perpetuated by capitalism. We're going off to college so we can make money to spend it. If that's the life I have to live, I might as well just end it. I keep finding traces of you in my head and in my home. Those traces help me through all of these bitter nights alone. It's sad to know that we have grown. It's sad to know we're both alone tonight. Timing is something that I never was that good at. And after driving for hours, I finally understood that, The human capacity for love can't be measured in a jar. But rather in the miles and minutes that I spend in my car. I would drive to the ends of this giant fucked up world for you. 4 U (for you) - A number and a letter.

Life keeps moving faster for an unlucky bastard like me. We're both getting older. Your leaning on my shoulder, I need. And oh, you know the feelings that I feel. Hello, you're so admirable and real. So you want to run away, from nothing at all besides the life that you dread. Rules you don't want to obey, Make you want to try to live your life before you're dead. So I thought I'd write this song to say I'd gladly go along and live with you. Life keeps getting harder and I'm not getting smarter at all. I'll continue grieving at the fact that you are leaving this fall. You were the first to call me broken. And what's a broken boy supposed to do, But give up all his broken heart to you? It doesn't even matter if I see you again. I can use my imagination and enjoy my false creation.
