Conversations from gold to red
I know, eventually, you'll see my way instead
I'd carry you over
The weight on my shoulders
Can take one more trip for you
And when we are older
I hope we'll be closer
We'll be safe
Why don't we both skip to the end?
And after we can table our regrets
But you didn't really know me
Could you really know me?
Can you see the way down here?
I just can't wait to push it away
Haystack needle, show me the way
How about we table these regrets
Make up and watch the ocean kiss the moon instead
We could make that our redress
And find some tenderness in words that we confess
I'd carry you over
The weight on my shoulders
Can take one more trip for you
And when we are older
I hope we'll be closer
We'll be safe
But you didn't really know me
Could you really know me?
Can you see the way down here?
I just can't wait to push it away
Haystack needle, show me the way

Fool Me Once
03:09

There's a party outside
But I can't cut loose
Been living on the sideline
Just to entertain you
A new communication
That speech forbidden at the dinner table
"Sophisticated nation"
Masking sadistic ideation
Fool me once, shame on...
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become exponentially lazy
Don't say that the heel is safety
As it comes down
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become unequivocally crazy
Don't say that the heel is saintly
As it falls down
There's a party outside
But I'm locked out
Cause you'll never face the truth
When I pull through
A new communication
That speech forbidden at the dinner table
"Sophisticated nation"
Masking sadistic ideation
"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
These, the words you trust
Even when they set fire to your bed
"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
I'd say not so much
Just look around
It's déjà vu again
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become exponentially lazy
Don't say that the heel is safety
As it comes down
I hate that you've been so careless lately
Become unequivocally crazy
Don't say that the heel is saintly
As it falls down
"Fool me once... fool me, you can't get fooled again"
I'd say not so much
Just look around
It's déjà vu again

I'd Rather Feel Nothing
04:16
|
|||
|
You know it's all too much for me
Every single thing I see
Could be beautiful
Could be obscene
And I know it's not so strange
Just a little bit cliché...
When I'm in millennial company
So kiss me on a Saturday night
Don't leave me when I cry
And I'll show you the face of "I'm alright"
That's the little white lie: I tell you I'm fine
Don't act so surprised
Just keep your head up above the water line
Can't see the forest or the trees
Whatever coloring you please
It ain't so different to me
Ya know, these days...
I'd rather feel nothing
All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...
You know it's all too much for me
Even as we live and breathe
Could be wonderful
Could be ugly
So sometimes I don't want a lover
I don't want a friend
Just wanna be okay in the end
Can't see the forest or the trees
Whatever coloring you please
It ain't so different to me
And after all of this time
I have no reason left to rhyme
I'm pulled up at the borderline
Well sometimes...
Ya know, I'd rather feel
All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...
One day,
Your sweet tooth turns sour
Your cute face looks dour
Can't fight back the hours
So I say...
Neither summer showers
Nor springs blooming flowers
Could give me the power to say something better for you
All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...

Sleepyhead

Do you see in my eyes?
Contrition
What's seen in our bedroom...
Core sickness
Come on, sleepyhead
Won't you meet us halfway?
Come on, sleepyhead
Today's another day
Do you think I like you in this condition?
Every silent morning and quiet afternoon
Come on, sleepyhead
Won't you meet us halfway?
Come on, sleepyhead
Today's another day
Come on , sleepyhead
Won't you meet us halfway?
Hey, it's 5:00pm
Guess today's just not your day

Taken while the giving's good
Hidden 'neath the floor boards
Automate restoration
He's an orchard for the poor
We all wish to leave a mark
Through pain, or pleasure, sparked
You'll tear us all apart
So we'll sing when you depart
Life's hard because we die
Take and take, you'll get the goods
We're cursed to pay the same dues
You're "too important" to lose?
I'm done taking this abuse!
We all wish to leave a mark
Through pain, or pleasure, sparked
You tear us all apart
Still we sing when you depart
Life's hard because we die
Bet you'd give any favor
And I'd give mine
If tomorrow we all survived
I'm sure the suffering would subside
But your molehill's grown 10,000 times its size
And it's no surprise
Life's hard because we die
Life's hard because we...
Life's hard because we die
Bet you'd give any favor
And I'd give mine
Taken while the giving's good
What you win, we're bound to lose
Life's hard because we die

Used To Be

Hey...
Remember when I used to be so bold?
You were oh so bubbly
And I know you loved me
Well I think your prescription's turned rosy
But I feel so ugly
When you tell me that you're bored
Won't you
Spit it out
If you're not down
What's this all about?
Are you in, or are you out?
Can you leave me with no doubt?
Hey...
Remember when you used to be so bold?
Things were mostly bloody
Was that your brand of loving?
But that was then, so what is this?
Taken into an abyss
I know, I've been so remiss
I know...
Won't you
Spit it out
If you're not...
What's this all about?
Are you in or are you out?
Can you leave me with no doubt?
Either way, it's okay
What's this all about?
Are you in or are you out?
Can you leave me with no doubt?
What's this all about?
Are you in, or are you out?
Can you leave me with no doubt?
Spit it out, if you're not down
Either way, it's okay
What's this all about?
Are you in, or are you out?
Can you leave me with no doubt?

Anniversary
04:42

Lately, I feel your bequest is unending
Summer reprieve is a blessing
You could've called
And I would listen close every time
Sometimes to forget the truth
Is just a curse from our youth
Every year this day arrives too soon
Do not believe the fools
"These years will heal the wounds"
Cause tonight I feel like...
I'm stuck remembering the pain you orchestrated
From A to Z
Caught listing every single memory you hated
Then gave to me
I'm dedicating every melody 'til I'm sated
From A to G
I'm bleeding ink until the letters can explain it
From A to Z
Now tonight...
You're gonna hear me talking 'bout it, baby
I've been holding back the tears
So please don't hate me
It's only once a year the words escape me
Oh, they escape me
Well, I'm hoping that tomorrow brings
The closure that I've needed
Once and for all
Maybe someday I'll find out
But tonight I feel like...
I'm stuck remembering the pain you orchestrated
From A to Z
Caught listing every single memory you hated
Then gave to me
I'm dedicating every melody 'til I'm sated
From A to G
I'm bleeding ink until the letters can explain it
From A to Z

Wish You Well
03:55
|

I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
Wouldn't care about it either way
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
And it'd feel, to me, like any other day
I heard through the grapevine you're single again
Of course that thing would run its course
And I saw those terrible things that you said
What you thought I wouldn't have read
I heard that your first born is going to hell
Cause that's the story you would tell
And I think you should be just a bit more careful
Cause at this rate I'm sure that you'll wind up dead
I cannot bring myself to care
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
Wouldn't care about it either way
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
And it'd feel, to me, like any other day
I think that you see what I see...
This blood don't mean a thing
Will you wake up,
Or face the concrete at record speed?
That blood won't mean a thing
I cannot bring myself to...
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
And if by now you couldn't tell
You'll never, ever, bring me to...
Care
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
Wouldn't care about it either way
I don't wish you ill, but I don't wish you well
Cause you could take your breath away
And it'd feel, to me, like any other day

I Believe...

Some days, these kin don't feel like mine
He said, "(he was) probably just checking her out"
Didn't even think twice
And I mean this with love
You're becoming a part of the problem
And you know it crushes me
To have to show you why I believe
Amen
To those who dare speak on what's broken
Amen
To those who wish their true name spoken
Amen
To those with no fear of emotion
Amen
A little love would go a long way
If you don't understand, it can still be okay
And I hope one day the privilege will make you see
And these words will show you why I believe
In the wisdom another can teach
So, to them I say...
Amen
To those who dare speak on what's broken
Amen
To those who wish their true names spoken
Amen
To those with no fear of emotion
Amen

With Another

You might have to wait forever
Can't promise that things will get better
Once would have seen it as clever
Cursing in vain at the weather
I've lost the strength of brevity
Drowning in a hundred year long dream
Wanna give you what you need
A flare up of selfish woes...
It's coming around tonight
Would you rather sleep alone?
It's coming around
Sometimes you're better off with another
To grace your eyes with a vision of patience that isn't jaded
Sometimes you're better off with another
Selflessness, from a wellspring, flows
Every word would make you glow
You might have to wait forever
Can't promise that things will get better
Is it enough for you that we're simply together?
I've lost the strength of brevity
You don't deserve this "woe-is-me" routine
Hope there's something to believe
A flare up of selfish woes...
It's coming around tonight
Would you rather sleep alone?
It's coming around
Sometimes you're better off with another
To grace your eyes with a vision of patience that isn't jaded
Sometimes you're better off with another
Selflessness, from a wellspring, flows
Every word would make you glow
