Something in the Water
03:56
|
|||
Some things go without saying,
Some things come without you asking
Maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
Sometimes the blazing sun isn’t warm
And sometimes your icy flesh keeps me home
But maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
And just maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
There’s this feeling that claws inside my throat
If you’d believe me, I’d say it means the most
But maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
I stare up at my ceiling
And all I need, is another outcast to belong with me
But maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
But maybe, there’s something in the water that I drink
Maybe some day I’ll understand
Why my parents slept in different beds
And fought, fought until the bitter end
But things, things are looking up from here my friend

Plastic for Life
03:50
|
|||
Up from a nightmare
Just to step into another as soon I walk out the door
Consulting the winter air
With A/C this warm is it even worth going outside?
(And who would even know?)
Plants can die
Plants can die,
And my greatest fear is that
Plastic will be there for life
Taking your vitamins
The slowest way to die is to live as long as you can
Getting excited
About not getting invited is a sure sign that
You've just lived long enough
Plants can die
Plants can die,
And my greatest fear is that
Plastic will be there for life
Oh, and what a strange design
User friendly, touch-screen, and the like
Oh, and what a strange life
To be living off wattage
Waiting for the end
Plants can die
Plants can die,
And my greatest fear is that
Plastic will be there for life
And if I had had enough
I wouldn't logged off yesterday and stretched my legs for a change
When life is lived through a screen
It's easy to start seeing low definition and RGB
Oh, and what a strange design
User friendly, touch-screen, and the like
Oh, and what a strange life
To be living off wattage
Waiting for the end
Plants can die
Plants can die,
And my greatest fear is that
Plastic will be there for life

Burn Out
03:58
|
|||
You make it easy
Killing time with weapons of misery
Making sure every piece is gone
But there's a witness
Standing back with a camera in his hands
and blackmail on his mind
It's white and black
You're white and black
I punched you once
You gave a smack
Your Etch a Sketch
Thrown in the mud
You're old, you're old
I thought I told you
Take your little toys and go
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
He took it downtown
and locked her up for half a century
Walked away and swallowed the key
But by herself,
under flourescent light that burned so falsely bright
clawing her way out into the night
It's black and white
We're black and white
Too tired to
Put up a fight
My shattered cell phone
On the ground
You're old, you're old
You know I told you
Take your little toys and go
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?
Don't you wanna burn out with the sun?

Turbulence
04:46
|

Sacrificed on the altar of love
Waiting for my time to come
I was born to the wrong time
Fell out on my head
Concrete disappointment
Waiting for me down below
I woke up
With heads turned all around
Lonely hearts on the wrong kids
Righteous, burning pain
Nightmares under these eyelids
And pumping through these acid veins
These days I'm a walking pushover
For these replayed scenes
I woke up
With nothing in my soul
And if you even cared, you'd say "hello"
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
If you even cared, you would've stopped
I feel a new dawn coming on
But I don't feel the warmth at all
Turbulence
Rough skies and hardened minds
Free falling
I woke up
With tears burning in my eyes
And if you even cared, you'd say "goodbye"
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
If you had the time,
I'd make it up
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is
I know it's something
If you even cared,
You'd look me up

Coming back down from a high
I guess this is goodbye
For a time
And maybe one day we'll find
Another love to ease the grind
Into a lonely life
Against the wind, against the grain
A broken heart's got it all to gain
But it can't with pain
And falling down and falling fast
Is this what I've missed?
I guess it isn't much, but it sure feels like a lot
And obsolete and redesigned
A transition without an open mind
Oh and
My Life as It Falls Apart
I felt the weight of the world when I was 20
But you're never too young to be broken down
And you broke me down
But look at me now
My life as it falls apart
It's beautiful, a brand new start
But I don't want it
I don't want to face the world with tears in my eyes
With opportunity breathing down my neck
It's too much for one broken kid to take
As you walked out the door
We shared an glance of empty reflection
The silence spoke so much to me
It choked out the embers of our burning love
Oh and
My Life as It Falls Apart
I felt the weight of the world when I was 20
But you're never too young to be broken down
And you broke me down
But look at me now
But look at me now

First Joy / First Pain
04:28
|
|||
I felt my first joy in life with my head on her chest
Nothing could ever feel that real again
And fleeting youth is the name of the game
Candle burning at both ends
Routine is a shallow grave to bury your dreams
The people you look up to were once on the ground
People are stories so please turn the page away
People are stories so please turn the page away
Don't say goodbye, don't give up
You've got so much left to give us
I felt my first pain in life with my head on her chest
Nothing could ever hurt that bad again
And fleeting youth is the name of the game
Candle burning at both ends
Routine is a shallow grave to bury your dreams
The people you look up to were once on the ground
People are stories so please turn the page away
People are stories so please turn the page away
Don't say goodbye, don't give up
You've got so much left to give us

Say Enough
02:13
|
|||
Sunshine as clear as ice
With no clouds I've got my eye on love
And I've lit candles inside
To keep alive the dreams that drift away
When shadows fall upon them
And you don't say enough when you say 'enough'
And you don't say enough when you say 'enough'
Moonlight as bright as dawn
Can blur the lines that keep hope hanging on
Without signs when you're lost,
Waiting in the darkness with your eyes on a star that isn't there
And you don't say enough when you say 'enough'
And you don't say enough when you say 'enough'
And you don't say enough when you say 'enough'

Get In Line
04:38
|
|||
If I talk too loud
If I talk too long
Would you please bring me round?
And talk me down?
These nervous words
that float in fear
into unresponsive air
Please give me an ear
Give me some time
Help me clear out my mind
We were scared
of our own home
And if we wanted a savior we had to get in line
Get in line x2
If things went right
From dark to light
You'd be in my arms tonight
But there's something else
A someone else
Keeping my fate on a shelf
Leaning over cities
Clawing at our ceilings
All I know is I don't want to have to get in line
Get in line

Paint Chips

Don't ever say
"It's just a day away"
Cause you don't know what you're missing
When you're missing out
You can drink your drink
With your silly straw
But you don't know,
You don't know what's
Going on, Going wrong
With you
Going on, Going wrong
With you
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone
Light travels fast
When you've got your eyes closed
And you don't know what you're missing
When you're missing
You don't know
You don't know
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone
It comes fast and then it's gone, it's gone

Hey, Smooth Operator
I've got a question
Where does this piece go?
And here in my own skin, I'm no pro
We're so witty, such a pity
That we couldn't figure out how to grow
Such a pity these young souls
Grow old with broken bones
Aching joints, a respirator
For pain I get no points
So what's the point
Of rolling out of bed in the first place?
Sometimes the hardest things in life to find
Are the easiest to lose
We wouldn't have to say much, dear
Just a moment of burning silence
To remember what it was and why we were
We were cruel and we were selfish
It wasn't the exception,
But it certainly wasn't the rule
We wouldn't have to say much, dear
Just a moment of burning silence
To remember what it was and why we were
I don't really remember
Maybe that's the worst of it
Maybe moving on means forgetting her
On your way out
Leave a trail for me to
Hound your memory and chase my own tail
What it means, to be alone?
You really wanna know?
It's when you're laying on your back at night in solitude performance
Of a dead man walking forming dormant scars that mourn your chorus of love
After all this?
Over nothing that even happened?
I'd call you a dog, but at least dogs are loyal
Over just a change in attitude?
You "have to find yourself"?
I don't know what the hell that means and I don't care to know

Frequent traditions often end in boredom
It's so easy to think that you're strong enough
But you're not
Put on your pretty little mask to hide behind
You seem to make up your mind
With the luxury of not breaking any hearts
The oceans turn to stone
And you fake your understand
Put on your pretty little mask to hide behind
Put on your pretty little mask to hide behind

Love is a Noose
05:00
|
|||
I used to pray
For
I used to pray
Don’t delay
Things that never came
Dreams that forever stayed
Crashing down hard
Nightmarish shards of my broken remains
Some losers say
You won’t last
Love’s not a game
It’s an ashtray
But I was born of brass
Half empty corpse optimistic and naive at best
Crutches of glass
Propped up my mortal remains
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
For my folks,
I guess it all went too fast
Forlorn with scorn,
Wearing balls and chains
For me,
I’ve seen rivers of gold
Been out on my knees,
Without a sieve in the rain
Years ahead of me,
Don’t fill me with childlike glee
An uphill battle,
Is the hill I’ve been destined to lay
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself

Is he there
Breathing in your breath?
Under the covers,
Telling secrets I’d bet.
Does he know
Exactly what he has?
A love so poignant it can scar a hardened man for all his years.
Is he there
When you’re upset?
Filling in the shadow
That I wish I left.
Does he feel the same to you or is it better round this time?
If I had
I had to guess
I’d guess that you were over me
And that you weren't such a mess
Does he know
That indent on your chest?
Does your imperfection make him feel you're more perfect than the rest?
Does he know
About me?
About the pillow forts of love we made
That tumbled down so spectacularly.
When you’re doing
Your dirty laundry,
When you’re cleaning
Plates after you two dine
I hope I creep into your mind the way you creep into mine.
If I had
I had to guess
I’d guess that you were over me
And that you weren't such a mess
Is he there
Holding your hand?
Are you there
With your fantasy wedding planned?
Are you there
Being made to laugh?
Is he there
Breathing in your breath?
Breathing in ghostly vapors
Of forgotten lovers like me
Breathing in ghostly vapors
Of forgotten lovers like me
