Constantly Travelling Leftovers

So how do I tackle the introduction to these leftovers?
If I’d released Constantly Travelling on here in its original form (which can be found on the Fireteddy National Library,) every one of these things would be in the main grouping. It wasn’t until years later that I realized just how over-stuffed and flawed the whole thing was. It’s hard to believe that I actually put something out with 15 lyric pages — 16 if you include the secret/bonus link that originally led to One For The Road.
Despite revisiting that grouping several times, I still didn’t remove Morning Rush and Nothing Left To Say until uploading the lyrics to this current site. The former makes me cringe, but I tried to make it passable to include here. If you’re a masochist though, you can still read it in all its shitty glory in the library.
Self-deprecation aside, I actually like E.V. and One For The Road quite a bit. Oblivious has also come a long way and Nothing Left To Say isn’t too offensive, but Morning Rush…. ugh!

E.V.
Who’s the lesser of two evils?
When they’re pretty much the same
There were spaces where I loved one
Now I can’t recall her name
Well maybe it seems stupid
To accept what I can’t kill
Sometimes it gets so sickening
As the sickness overspills
Tell me when you’re out on break
And the feelings that I’ll have to fake
Tell me when you’re out on break
So I can turn away
Pick the nicest of the dog pound
When they’re pretty much all gone
With hands together, kneel down
Until you find that it’s all wrong
Maybe she was lovely
But now she’s just so plain
Conforming to her heart strings
But I guess it’s all the same
Tell me when you’re out on break
And the feelings that I’ll have to fake
Tell me when you’re out on break
So I can turn away
So I can turn away
Why are you so scared?
When you’re laying in your bed
You know there’s nothing there
It’s all inside your head
Oblivious (The Wonder Boy)
I’m aware of a guy who isn’t that bright
Yeah we get along great but that isn’t his plight
He’s a stand alone guy, though I really don’t care
Half the time I’m wondering if he’s even there
If you stopped all the talking, we could wait and see
While he’s cooler than you, he’s no better than me
You can only be all the things you want to believe
And I don’t believe in anything
I don’t believe in anything
Well I’m friends with a guy who isn’t too smart
But he’s the one with the girl because he’s got a good heart
He’s really oblivious but the joke’s been on me
Because I think that he has the one thing that I need
If you stopped all the talking, we could wait and see
While he’s cooler than you, he’s no better than me
You can only be all the things you want to believe
And I don’t believe in anything
I don’t believe in anything
Find this number, get up, get the phone
Look into her eyes, you’ll only turn to stone
You can’t see, but I’m telling you now
This is your chance to get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out now…
If you stopped all the talking, we could wait and see
While he’s cooler than you, he’s no better than me
You can only be all the things you want to believe
And I don’t believe in anything
I don’t believe in anything now
I’ll try to be your monster
But you’re never gonna know
I’ll never be your puppet
And now it’s time to go
Now it’s time to go
Nothing Left To Say
I want to be your monster
I want to make you sick
You wanted to be blissful
No alternatives to pick
I know just how you look at me
I’m so proud to be your freak
But can you tell me when you’re dreaming?
I’ve been waiting here for weeks
The road we use is winding
The gears that turned are grinding
And for the first time it feels like
There’s nothing left to say
Raised to be a liar
That’s all you ever were
Sometimes you kept me happy
It’s co-incidence I’m sure
I know just what you think of me
Don’t you think that we’re both whores?
I wish you’d tell me all your nightmares
‘Cause I’m kind of getting bored
The road we use is winding
The gears that turned are grinding
And for the first time it feels like
There’s nothing left to say
For the first time it feels like
There’s nothing left to say
Morning Rush
The morning traffic never moves
It never changes, what’s left to lose?
A buzzing sound, the tires squeal
I hear the horns, it’s so surreal
Now try and feel what you can’t touch
You’ll never beat the morning rush
The feeling when you’ve had too much
You’ll never beat the morning rush
This stupid car, it always stalls
Get out the quarter, I’ll make the call
A fuzzy noise with breaks that crunch
Don’t look back, left over hunched
Now try and feel what you can’t touch
You’ll never beat the morning rush
The feeling when you’ve had too much
You’ll never beat the morning rush
You’ll never beat the morning rush
When every morning stays the same
There’ll be nothing to fear and no one to blame
One For The Road
We’re going on a ride
We’ll be gone for days and days
Let your fear subside
Let your consciousness give way
You’ve made a lot of enemies
Still I’m your lasting truth
I will always be behind you
No matter what you do
With a gun shot to the head
Now that man is dead
We’re going on a ride
We’re going far away
Maybe you could hide
If you had somewhere to stay
You’ve had so many heartaches
But now I know the truth
And behind you I will follow
No matter what you do
With a gun shot to the head
Now that man is dead
So what was that you said?
Well now that man is dead
Now that man is…
