One Girl Moshing

I stand onstage
Alone
In front of thousands
Millions

Emotions astir as I fool them into thinking
I never meant to
But it had to come true

All the people who don't know me love me
But those who know believe

All who don't know me trust me
But those who know me run

They fear me,
When they hear me,
They kill me,
'Cause I'm still me

And though I feed this pressure
With my foolish immature ranting
I still look down and see on the ground
A single fan still standing

I hear the words she speaks to me
All the things she screams at me
There's nothing I can do you see
To ignore the one girl moshing

There's one girl in the mosh pit
She's the only one at all
She's standing, dancing, running, yelling
Banging on the wall

She's cooler than cool
And hotter than hot
But what she thinks I am I'm not
And so she follows me again
To the beginning
Or to the end

What do you say to the one girl moshing?
What do you do to make her leave
What can convince her that you're not worthy
Of anything you receive

This is the sound of one girl moshing
Strange
Deranged
Totally insane

This is the sound of one girl moshing
Eating her heart out
Just to hear you sing

This is the sound of one girl moshing
It rips me apart every day
On the outside I scream for her to leave
But on the inside I want her to stay

She's not perfect
But neither am I
And who is, nowadays

I just can't stand that she's loving a lie
A person who can't make up his mind
So confused...

She can't console me
She can only hold me
And stand there in the line
Waiting, waiting
For a signature
To add to her collection

She'd sacrifice so much for me
Or is that what she thinks
She crouches before the final song
Like a wildcat, a lynx

She leaps up on the stage
After all the music's gone
Her voice it stings
The tune it sings
The pitch it rings
But it's all wrong

Because she thinks she knows someone
But he's all but gone

Will he ever come back

I really don't know

Until then I have to just go with the flow

I can't seem to follow

This wake in my mind

So I'll ride the surf

Till the end of time

And hear the waves splashing

Hear my heart throbbing

And the sound

Of the one girl moshing
