You Avoid Parties

	作曲 : Auer, Stringfellow
	Isn't it nice how things resolve
	To test your will would take the skill of crazy ants
	You fit your mind into smaller and smaller jars
	You find them clutching the last straw
	As if it's worth the worse for wear and tear you look
	But why try to understand someone that you don't even know
	Even though he brought you up, beat you up
	Shut you up when you cried?
	And now you avoid parties
	Because they remind you
	Of someone who you used to know
	Pretty soon you'll want to avoid yourself
	A popular phrase from the same year
	Would draw no tears save for the fears of looking back
	You find you hide for weaker and weaker reasons
	The battle you lost in the mirror
	Earned you no thanks but wooden planks were soon withdrawn
	And you couldn't run away even if you tried
	And you tried and you cried 'cause you knew that laying flat
	In your parents' car
	And now you avoid fathers
	Because they remind you
	Of someone who you used to know
	Pretty soon you want to avoid your own
	And now you're finally on your own
	You draw your choices from the voices you despise
	You find you're drawn to tighter and tighter circles
	Flashbacks, flashes forward
	You are insane though you have gained such wide appeal
	And all the car rides, cheap insides, laughter at the right people
	At the right time at the right line in the right frame of mind
	And now you avoid thinking
	Because it reminds you of someone you used to know
	Pretty soon you'll only think about yourself
