Empty In Time
02:15
|
|||
|
if you just got in my space
maybe then i could face
all of my days
and i would sing every hour
"o, i'm found"
until i fell from your grace
empty in time
and if i wanted my proof i'd just
look out from the roof
of your sky divine
but i'm just down in my room
takin' swipes at your tomb
that fills up my mind
empty in time
i'm runnin' out of my wings
empty in time

Cemetery Circles
01:29
|
|||
|
work so hard
just to pay the rent
but i can't swing it anyway
so i'm writing all my letters to you
blinkin' bizness creators
drink blood of plasma donors
take a lick on my
usps envelope
after i've written all my letters to you
i've written all my letters to you
cemetary circles

Love Is Dead
03:26
|
|||
|
trapped in a room
vibing with truth
kept you under my thumb
couldn't keep my cool
soothed
by your reclused
tailored mind to produce
all these goddamned reasons to
open myself to the world
when i'm feeling myself in this world
i'm tryna treat myself to this world
but i'm shutting out the whole world
again
cus as for me
love is dead
at least for now
love is dead
but i'm still driving all my
feelings away
tryna make some sense
out of it every day
i left myself too open to pain
didn't give you your space
now i hope i can
open myself to the world
when i'm feeling myself in this world
i'm tryna treat myself to this world
but i'm shutting out the whole world
again
cus as for me
love is dead
at least for now
love is dead

Ponderin'
03:11
|
|||
|
takin it slow
til the end of my days
ponderin' how
to make it
not a waste
synthetic shows
at the edge of my mind
wonderin' why
it feels so hard
to try
fidgeting past
all the memories that last
circumstantial trash
that keeps me
down for laughs
but i still don't know
what you're all about
figurin' out
how to act
around you
takin it slow
til the end of my days
ponderin' how to make it
not a waste

Wonder Why
02:00
|
|||
|
if i had a problem
i couldn't keep it to my own
i had to wonder
anytime you shuddered
i wanted to go home
but then i'm feeling all alone
i had to wonder
handing down your problems
as you look into my eyes
cells metastisize
i had to wonder why
i can't believe my
mind
to drown into your sigh
and that flashin thru yr
eyes
i can't believe my mind
still running but resigned
never knowing if i'll find
if there's a kindness left denied
did i have to wonder
to be just what you wanted
i had to wonder why

im about 5 miles away
from your autograph
but hey that's just my love
that you'll sign away
im about 5 miles away
from your autograph
if i can't stay
well hey that's just my love
that you'll sign away
it's been a whole three long months
since you've left me
but it's been a whole ten long years
since i've held your keys
and now you've finally got the courage
to set me free
well come on baby please
is that a guarantee?
im about 5 miles away
from your autograph
but hey that's just my love
that you'll sign away
im about 5 miles away
from your autograph
if i can't stay
well hey that's just my love
that you'll sign away

On The Line
03:06
|
|||
|
why'd you have to go and do
all those things when you left me
why'd you have to go and
break my heart
things were so much different
when the smallest little things
would make you cry
so when i came right home to you
how i hoped to catch your sigh
and though i got nothin i can say
im still standin' by your side
i've got one
more good reason
on the line
this time
why'd i have to go and
try to know your blessed mess
wanderin' into your head and find
nothin' of tenderness
and though i got somethin i can say
i find it so hard to confess
i've got to ask ya
hey am i dreaming?
well thank the lord
i guess
when i first saw my companion
she could only say goodbye
when you left open your window
you just hoped i'd catch you cryin'
and though there's so much
i just gotta say
i'm silent layin
by your side
ive got one
more good reason
on the line
this time

Who We Are
02:03
|
|||
|
waitin'
for the time i'll finally see
what this life has made of me
feelin'
like i got to know right now
like i've got to figure out
like it's simply lost and found
but i'll
always
be
let down
hopin'
that you'll help me right along
that you'll help me sing my song
that you'll make me big and strong
singin'
on my way out to the bar
but will we ever
get that far
cus we always got to know who we are
and if we don't
well we find it hard
cus we always got to know who we are
will we know our part
who we are
we're always in the dark

Tell Me The Truth
01:42
|
|||
|
you wanted your proof
yeah you expected me to
know all of the things
that you expected to lose
tell me the truth
here's your favorite excuse
that you would always abuse
you knew all of the words
that you would carefully choose
tell me the truth

It Wouldn't Be So Hard
01:20
|
|||
|
it wouldn't be so hard
to put me under yr wing
just say something
and think of all
the happiness it would bring
it wouldn't be so hard
to put me under yr spell
oh girl you might as well
the candlelight
that little ring of the bell
it wouldn't be so hard

The Man Without A State
03:28
|
|||
|
they say that someday everything changes
well my only problem is i'll have to wait
spoken like a man that lacks a state
the motel 8 was vacant at midnight
on the only vacation i had to waste
spoken like a man that lacks a state
i'm gonna take me down
to the place i need
figurin' how
i heard the whisky bottle hum like a saucer
such a silly way to nudge me awake
spoken like a man that lacks a state
honestly i couldn't tell ya the difference
why you gotta criticize my lack of taste
spoken like a man that lacks a state
i'm gonna take me down
to the place i need
figurin' how
you're the little one
i believed
but the epilogue wasn't the ending
of the only smile i didn't have to fake
spoken like a man that lacks a state
|

i'm so alone (but that's cool)
i just like to sit in my room
writing all my songs
but none for you
i'm so alone (but that's cool)
i'll ignore my friends at school
cus they'll just ignore me too
make me all my plans
i'll never follow through
don't make me ignore you too
when i got some place to be
i'll just frown at every person that i see
i'll convince myself i'm not your fool
cus now i'm all alone (but that's cool)

Dance
01:12
|
|||
|
i don't wanna sing no more
i just wanna dance
i don't wanna fuck no more
i just want romance
but i'll sing
while i dance
we still need lovin'
and we need romance
i don't wanna sing no more
i just wanna dance

Hot/Cold
03:07
|
|||
|
well first yr hot
(i feel yr warmth)
but then yr cold
(an icy burn)
in the effort to end the difference
thru the throes of my persistence
sing to me
that's all i require to perceive
if it's what you need
i'll let you be
