Creatures (For Awhile) Lyrics

edit | print 
My name is volatile
I've been this way a long while
I'd surely like to rest
but the energy gets the best of me
(check it out) and
it's been a wild ride
I wouldn't change a minute
I can't slow down inside
I guess that's why I live it
(watch it now!)

The years of mischief
followed by weeks of thrift
I land on earth's hard face
no legs could keep that pace
and through the rest I sift

Is there ever a time
when the state of sleeping
willingly leaves my mind

Highly frustrated wanna feel elated
come monday morn you feel checkmated
you can be uncool and become the rule
exceptions were made to drown

I'm not used to it, you'd think I'd be by now
the ins the outs the ups and the downs

I wanna make a mess, I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire, just creatures for awhile
I wanna make a mess, I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire, just creatures, just creatures

Comes and goes it comes and goes sometimes
I go a little crazy, sometimes
I go a little crazy, just like you, I do

I know what you were gonna say
but were afraid to cause dismay
your lyrics switched around
the mixture watered down
and now a pointless display

It's something one won't understand
unless they're in it with me, or hand in hand

Don't buy the fear, don't buy that my dear
the things you love you must keep near and
carry on and you won't feel withdrawn
even if you're coming down

Sometimes it's wearable, sometimes it's bearable
I careen towards balance til' the glass is full

I wanna make a mess, I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire, just creatures for awhile
I wanna make a mess, I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire, just creatures, just creatures

Comes and goes it comes and goes sometimes
sometimes, I get a little out there, sometimes, I go off
sometimes, just like you, (watch it now!) woo!

I go a little crazy, sometimes
I go a little crazy, just like you I do, sometimes
I go a little crazy, sometimes
I go a little crazy, just like you I do
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!
