311 - Creatures For Awhile LYRICS

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

It's been a wild ride

I wouldn't change a minute

I can't slow down inside

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 a while



I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures, just creatures



It comes and goes and 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

You 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 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Carry on and you won't feel withdrawn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 is 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 a while



I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures, just creatures



It comes and goes and comes and goes



Sometimes, sometimes

I get a little out there

Sometimes I go off

Sometimes just like you

Watch it now (whoo)



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
