Here Comes The Sun Rise

Look here comes the sunrise again Smoke makes lazer beams in my room And they'll set alarms If you make attempts to escape You're mine until my high goes away Don't leave me now Stay See we were meant for this place Inside the calm The pure content we display See it fills me up With something I don't have alone You're mine until the sun doesn't come Don't fail me now I don't think I'll remember this ever happened But I don't want to forget it did just yet Lord if you exist now's the time I've been waiting such a long time Waiting such a long time But I'll wait on forever it seems to be 'Til someone can give me that dream, that dream You're somewhere that I'll never be So it seems But I'd be there if it was up to me Don't fail me now

Chevy

The Chevy you own That your father had loaned to hold onto It doesn't start up like it use to The leather is torn and the blinker is worn out in both ways It sits at the side of your driveway Ever the sign of the good faith you hold without effort Sometimes you lose Sometimes you win I think I fell apart again I never said I'd pay all my debts Now I have to It don't make them less true Down in a hole Where you've been dying to go to a deep sleep A tribute to part of your instinct What was the cost to the blood that you lost by your own hand? You say you're alone yet here I stand Ever the sign of the friend that you can't shake Although you've tried to Sometimes you lose Sometimes you win I think I fell apart again I never said I'd pay all my debts Now I have to It don't make them less true

Stupid Words
04:03

If you could live inside my head then you’d agree that what you say is all nonsense, just lies, my mind ain’t clear but the thoughts are mine
You always say “it’s all in your mind” I wish you wouldn’t waste my time with the stupid words that you say
You understand that times get tough and all your bullshit will just pile up and beat you down and move along you’re left with nothing unless you get strong
You always say “it’s all in your mind” I wish you wouldn’t waste my time with the stupid words that you say
You don’t seem to understand that life goes on, so god damnit, just move along to someone else or something new, just forget that I knew you
You always say “it’s all in your mind” I wish you wouldn’t waste my time with the stupid words that you say

Give me the sequence and feed me your memory I need it to make sense I need you to hate me because what you said wasn’t love well it wasn’t love, I ain’t gonna leave you I need you to make me Give me your dark dreams I swear that I’ll eat them down in my bloodstream and sink in my system because what you said was the truth well it was the truth Just tell me which wreckage you think I should crawl from and if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want, and if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want, if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want just tell me you’re in love, tell me you’re in love What was the point then of beating a dead thing? I need you to teach me the parts that I cant sing cos when you told me to go and I didn’t go some call it bravery you just call it losing cos if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want, if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want and if you fool me hard enough then I’ll believe anything you want just, tell me you’re in love, tell me your in love, oh tell me you’re in love Give me the sequence and feed me your memory I needed to make sense I need you to hate me because what you said wasn’t love well it wasn’t love, I ain’t gonna leave you I need you to make me

Family
04:03

I hope you never fear traveling to the wilds again and pick fights you can’t win burn down your candle at both ragged ends and be good to your friends and if you ever fear drowning in the foam covered sea I’ll be your family, I’ll be your family Travel the country before you go to school, get called reckless and a fool chase down your passions and beat down your doubts but if things don’t work out well there ain’t no shame working so your loved ones can eat cause they’re your family, yeah they’re your family Track down the girl that heats up your blood and fall stupid in love but know the fire weakens when the going gets rough and the flames aren’t enough but if you ever get lonely then right here I’ll be cause I’m your family, well I’m your family. Beware of the salesmen that peddle their faith and the mongers of hate but if in your troubles god throws you a rope no I don’t think you’re a joke but no god could love you half as much as me cause I’m your family ,oh I’m your family If life don’t work out like you thought at the start, well fail often and hard brush from your shoulders the old sticks and stones and know you’re never alone cause through all your failures you’re perfect to me cause you’re my family, you’re my family

Eggshells
03:13
|
|

|
Here I am juggling eggs A few of them they fell to the floor So before you come into your house tonight Try not making any sounds on those things I've ignored But age has added weight to your feet And your patience fades with each heavy step You'll say to sweep up all this yolk and these shells And I say I will as soon as I wake up But both of us know I'll just sleep And only you could know what that means While I'm selfishly indulging my dreams You'll go and grab your broom to come clean up after me And I know that isn't fair But I still felt tired when I awoke And I'm staring at this bed that you made I'm only making messes And you forgive me every time I'm getting out I'm seeking work I'm still not sure if that will make up or not

Avenue A
02:53

|
We were young but only relative to future mistakes A generation made on making it whatever it takes But failure left a mark that was dark And dug as deep as it could And a promise from a liar is only what you'd expect I never said that I'd keep it just that I wouldn't forget And hope can do as much as it can Just not as much as it should So praise to the gods of crust punks and bar queens Blue collared bloods, booze hounds and dope fiends White trash brigades and debt ridden settlers Ink dripping scribes and change hustling buskers Oh my god I've been asleep for too long When my thoughts turned to flashes of your face turned blue I cut a ribbon of flesh to try and lighten the mood I think of every dream of stardom we had And what you thought at the end And I'll never be the one to paint your life as a saint You were a liar, and a bigot, and a cheat, and a flake But you were beautiful when you were alive And you were my best friend So lord give me love from ghosts of my dead friends A house in the hills and clean sheets to sleep in Give me my baby from North Cupertino Wash me of sins and leave me the fuck alone Oh my god I've been asleep for too long When I get home Do me a favor, leave the porch light on And burn the evidence Oh my god I've been asleep for too long

Someone Else
02:54

Sound off Because I see There's something you're hiding inside That you don't feel you can tell me And I thought you'd thought more of me But you think I can't handle it I swear I can handle You can tell me anything And I know that you're scared Yeah you're soft But the silence is killing me I'm starting to think I already know what you hide So get on then Get it out Because you're bad at secrets Eventually the news will come find me anyways Is there somewhere else that you'd rather be? Is there somewhere else that you'd rather see? Well get on, get on without me If there's someone else who's better than me

The Clap II
03:17
|
|
||
|
Clap your hands if you like having sex And if it feels so good you don't give a shit who's next If you clap your hands through the remainder of this song Know that your a piece of shit just like everyone else But that's alright Clap your hands if you ever wanted to kill a man If it felt so just you thought the whole world would understand If you feel uneased by the thought of this here plight There's no apology I could say to make it right But that's just life So clap your hands I have been a bad man once before Hope I never am again But I probably still am Clap your hands if you ever thought of suicide Just nibbling at your wrist and avoiding eyes There's a shred of respect I could give without knowing why That's your here to fucking clap and to kill some time So clap your hands it'll be alright I have been a selfish man before Hope I never am again But I probably still am Clap your hands You'll meditate and remember your actions vaguely enough To forget what an asshole you've been Do I have to wait until you start to mind your manners again You better stomp your feet Stomp your feet if you hate having to work If following orders feels like lowering your worth If you clap your hands at all you're a fucking fool I have and I regret each clap I do Oh I have been a bad man once before Hope I never am again But I probably still am

I come once a week To say that I went To say that I tried I tug at a heart string Like my father taught me I openly lie I've seen her before Said "I'll get her home" Before I arrived Because a confidence practiced Can get what you lacked at the start of the night Give it a try I see it in steps I brush back my hair He turns to his left He sings as he asks me if I come here often And I smile yes We collect our miscues And all stripped of meaning We connect and collide A dream kept in secret A lie that's worth keeping A plea just to try We're both sure of where we belong That we're both better off alone If only we tried Then we just might Sharpen our edges And carve out a life Well we're getting old A little too quick We burn the rope at both ends And death seems so tasteless A life cut and pasted when remembered again There's always tonight though There's always tonight to go and get it right Let's try 'Cause we don't know if we have a home If we're both better off alone Would we both know if we were wrong? We're trying God, try it Let's try Or should we just drink? I'm so fucking over this I'm done, been done Should we just drink?
