White Moon

White moon, won’t you tell me where the good stuff lies?
Like a chicken with his head cut off I stumble round
They say Jesus saves but I think you’re my best bet
White moon, you’re a friend of mine
White Moon, you’re the voyeur for these broken times
Watch the world suck itself into the bitter end
Well I bet you lost count of all our hopeful tries
But white moon, you’re a friend of mine
White moon, you’re a friend of mine
I’ve been longing for that true love that give, I’ve felt it before
Just a taste of Heaven leaves you feeling distraught, and needing some more
White moon
White moon, it’s kind of sad but you’re all that I got
To keep my own hands from tearing this skin away
It’s a mess down here but I want you to know
That white moon, you’re a friend of mine
And white moon, some of us down here ain’t doing so well
From the sidewalk tents to the daddy’s boys
I’ve been somewhere in the middle, I just can’t connect
But white moon, you’re a friend of mine
White moon, you’re a friend of mine
I’ve been longing for that quick fix that you give, I’ve felt it before
Just a taste of Heaven leaves you feeling distraught, something you can’t ignore
So white moon, let me in on the big secret
Cause I’ve been wasted looking for a way to live
It’s the path that I chose that makes this water run dry
But white moon, you’re a friend of mine
White moon, you’re the only one that makes it okay
Yes, the Gods must be crazy for hanging round
But I don’t care cause when night falls I look to the sky
And white moon, you’re a friend of mine
White moon, you’re a friend of mine

Self-Love

My true love lives inside of my brain
I’m gonna take her out tonight and we’ll go dancing again
You know she tells me sweet lies that make me feel like I’m a man
She’s no hit it and quit it, she’s no one night stand
She’s my baby, and she’ll love me forever
And when I go dying, I know that we’ll die together
She don’t have a name but that’s okay with me
As long as I can call her darling I’m as happy as can be
Although you can’t see her, she’s as real as my pain
She’s my Aphrodite, she’s my everything
She’s my baby, and she’ll love me forever
And when I go dying, I know that we’ll die together
She’s the girl inside of my head
When I can’t love myself I love her instead
When I need her to go, she’ll fade away
Whenever I need her she’ll always stay
She don’t give a care about the things I’ve done
All the people I’ve hurt while trying to make my run
Anything that I ask, you know she always complies
When I say that I’m stupid, she always says that I’m wise
Cause she’s my baby, and she’ll love me forever
And when I go dying, I know that we’ll die together
She’s my baby, and she’ll love me forever
And when I go dying, I know that we’ll die together

Some Kind Of Heaven
03:05
|

|
Back here at square one
Where reality’s coming on
There must be a place where everything glues back together
Where the biker finds his bike
And the junkie finds his spike
Where the once estranged will live in love and light forever
It must be some kind of Heaven
Where the fine print’s understood
And love is always there for you
No matter if you’re bad or good
Just some kind of Heaven
I’ve been laughing at the present
I can’t waste no more time crying
You gotta be the change, you gotta be the go-getter
As your little world’s falling apart
No one gives a shit about your aching heart
You gotta bite the bullet before it gets any better
It must be some kind of Heaven
Where the glasses never drain
In fact there’s no more need for drinking
Cause there’s no such thing as pain
Just some kind of Heaven
No fire and brimstone, baby
Just an eternal vacation
Where you’ll always be my lady
True love without expiration,
Some kind of Heaven
Well they said one day I’d get there
If I just prayed to the Divine Mother
I’d find the light and be just like the Master
Well I tried and I tried
The Divine Mother never replied
Time and time again to all the questions that I asked her
It must be some kind of Heaven
Where all the special people go
And all the rest of us are simpletons
Just too stupid to know
If there’s some kind of Heaven

The Money Game
03:01

You don’t know the money game till you’re losing it, babe
You don’t know the money game till you’re losing it, babe
You grew up with a silver spoon, always nursing your precious mouth
And everything was ay-okay until your ay-okay went south
You don’t know the money game til you’re losing it, babe
You don’t know what it is to live till you’re die, die dying
You don’t know what it is to live till you’re die, die dying
Now you live downtown in a sleeping bag, with a cardboard sign that says “Help”
Now you know what help will come when you can’t even help yourself
You don’t know what it is to live till you’re die, die dying
You don’t know what it is to fast till you’re forced to fast
You don’t know what it is to fast till you’re forced to fast
Your trust fund’s all tabbed out, my friend, and you don’t know what to do
We could post by the 7/11 and I’ll share a 24 with you
You don’t know what it is to fast till you’re forced to fast
You don’t know that money game till you’re losing it, babe
You don’t know that money game till you’re losing it, babe
Now all your friends have left you and your will is running out
You can tell them you have three kids when all you have in an empty bank account
You don’t know the money game till you’re losing it, babe
Till you’re losing it, babe
Till you’re losing it, babe

Living This Way
02:45
|
|||
|
I’m sick of being broke all the time
I’m sick of losing my mind
I’m sick of living alone, making love to myself
When I know you’re out there making love to somebody else
I’m sick of living this way
I want it all to go away, want it all to go away
I’m sick of living this way
I’m sick of trying to heal
When the smile never feels like it’s real
I’m sick of taking the walk to the same damn store
I get the usual like every time before
I’m sick of living this way
I want it all to go away, want it all to go away
I’m sick of living this way
Watching it all fall down
Face first to the ground
The dying light of day
I wanna find me a rope
Knock the chair and let go
I wanna write it all out on a sticky note
Saying “Sorry everybody, I just lost hope”
I’m sick of living this way
I want it all to go away, want it all to go away
I’m sick of living this way
sick of living this way
sick of living… this way

If You're Not My Lover
02:28
|

|
Sleep through the day and wake up at night
You know it’s time for sleeping when the morning sheds its light
My internal clock is altered since the change that you led
But if you’re not my lover, it’s someone else instead
They say the key to happiness is loving yourself
Deny that which ails you, put the pain on the shelf
But I throw away that prescription, I find a new girl in my bed
Cause if you’re not my lover, it’s someone else instead
No diet plans, no exercise
No nine to fives, no enterprise
No Demerol, no handshake deal
Could ever change, the way you feel
When you lose the one you love
When you lose the one you love
So that’s why I’m a-seeing that girl from the bar
With no predisposition, she don’t know who you are
So don’t dare come back to me, and say you were mislead
Cause if you’re not my lover, it’s someone else instead
If you’re not my lover, it’s someone else instead
If you’re not my lover, it’s someone else… instead

It’s so funny how your mind changes overnight
It’s so funny how your mind changes overnight
You’re so quick to buy a ticket to ride, when I challenge your wrong from your right
It’s so funny how your mind changes overnight
It’s so funny how your love withers when you’re mad
It’s so funny how your love withers when you’re mad
You lose your long-term memory, you forget all the good times that we had
It’s so funny how your love withers when you’re mad
Well that’s alright darling, It’ll be what it’ll be
I’d rather be your nothing at all then your enemy
I’ve never been a beggar, cause I can’t swallow my pride
So if your love you’ve killed then my love I’ll hide
My love I’ll hide
It’s so funny how you still got a hold on me
It’s so funny how you still got a hold on me
It must be cause love is blind, there’s no better reason I can see
It’s so funny how you still got a hold on me
It must be cause love is blind, there’s no better reason I can see
It’s so funny how you still got a hold on me

Minimize The Damage
04:44
|
|||
|
I know you’re scared about what I got to say about you
I thought that with love, not fear, is what you’re trying to do
Just cause you wrote it on your arm don’t mean it’s that way
Just like I wrote on my arm that everything’s okay
Only trying to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that we can manage
Everything is fleeting so don’t get mad
You’re not the only reason that I feel so bad, that I feel so bad
I took you in my arms graduation day
Said we can leave the problems for tomorrow, but for now just stay
And you did, yes you did, ‘bout as long as you could
It wasn’t up to me to decide if loving me was good
When you were only trying to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that you can manage
Everything is fleeting but I still get mad
I’m not the only reason that you feel so bad, that you feel so bad
When all smoke and mirrors have finally blown away
It feels like the first time you’ve seen the light of day
You get tossed, you get turned and you end up here
There’s no form in the chaos, we’re spinning round
There’s no comfort in the up when you’re heading down
But you can live, you can live without your baby near
And if your baby’s not your baby no more, no need to fear
Cause you can learn to live without your baby near
It’s a riptide, darling, that sucks you right in
And your heart becomes your brain and your faith runs thin
No this is not about all of the fish in the sea
If it’s not for you that I’m living it’s gotta be for me
If only just to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that I can manage
Everything is fleeting but I won’t get mad
Cause after all the bleeding, I’m tired of feeling so bad
Feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so...

Living In Color
05:06
|
|||
|
We don’t look much alike but I know we deal with the same things
Bad luck, mean people and the pain that love brings
I may never know your struggle or the hard times you’ve seen
But we’re all ants in this army, we’re all serving the same queen
So when you point your finger at the guy on TV
Just remember he’s just as clueless as you and me
And when they show the high school shooter and you call him pure evil
Don’t you think maybe he just never learned how to relate to people
Well we all do terrible things but we like to think we’re on the good side
I don’t even think Adolf Hitler thought of himself as a bad guy
We like boil everything down to black and white
But we’re living in color, It’s more than wrong and right
It makes me think of the kid who used to do things to me
When my parents found out they said I needed therapy
I refused to talk to anyone, I kept it together
To this day I don’t blame him, I know he didn’t know any better
I could blame it on his parents for giving him bad mental health
I could blame it on the community, I could blame it on myself
But the more I go blaming, the less I feel like I’m right
Cause we’re living in color, not black and white
We’re all weathered and damaged from the ungodly truth
You can’t tell me with a straight face that nothing’s happened to you
You can’t boil it all down to black and white
Cause we’re living in color, It’s more than wrong and right
You might think that the devil is finally taking us in
You might think you’re absolved from your life of sin
You might think that your high road is gonna make it all fine
But I think that your high road is just as low as mine
There’s no concrete answer, there’s no resolution
There’s no happy ever after, there’s no real solution
Just a world full of people, confused by the light
So they dumb it all down to black and white
But living in color is more than wrong and right
Living in color is more that wrong and right
