Creatures (For A While) 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 

 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

 

 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 we're gonna say 

 But were afraid to cause dismay 

 You're lyrics switched around 

 The mixture watered down 

 And now a pointless display

 

 It's something one won't understand 

 Unless there in it with me hand and 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 Carry on and you won't feel withdrawn 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

 

 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
