    Excuse me but can I be you for a while

    My dog won''t bite if you sit real still

    I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin'' at me again

    Yeah I can hear that

    Been saved again by the garbage truck

    I got something to say you know

    But nothing comes

    Yes I know what you think of me

    You never shut-up

    Yeah I can hear that



    But what if I''m a mermaid

    In these jeans of his

    With her name still on it

    Hey but I don''t care

    Cause sometimes

    I said sometimes

    I hear my voice

    And it''s been here

    Silent All These Years



    So you found a girl

    Who thinks really deep thougts

    What''s so amazing about really deep thoughts

    Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon

    How''s that thought for you

    My scream got lost in a paper cup

    You think there''s a heaven

    Where some screams have gone

    I got 25 bucks and a cracker

    Do you think it''s enough

    To get us there



    Cause what if I''m a mermaid

    In these jeans of his

    With her name still on it

    Hey but I don''t care

    Cause sometimes

    I said sometimes

    I hear my voice

    And it''s been here

    Silent All These...



    Years go by

    Will I still be waiting

    For somebody else to understand

    Years go by

    If I''m stripped of my beauty

    And the orange clouds

    Raining in head

    Years go by

    Will I choke on my tears

    Till finally there is nothing left

    One more casualty

    You know we''re too easy Easy Easy



    Well I love the way we communicate

    Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

    Let''s hear what you think of me now

    But baby don''t look up

    The sky is falling

    Your mother shows up in a nasty dress

    It''s your turn now to stand where I stand

    Everybody lookin'' at you here

    Take hold of my hand

    Yeah I can hear them



    But what if I''m a mermaid

    In these jeans of his

    With her name still on it

    Hey but I don''t care

    Cause sometimes

    I said sometimes

    I hear my voice [x3]



    And it''s been here

    Silent All These Years

    I''ve been here

    Silent All These Years
