Going it Alone
02:23
|
|||
I got a daily routine and it gives my life meaning
I make my body sweat then I stare at the ceiling
Got a SM58 and Mexican Strat
Got protein powder and a yoga mat
Got a lovely little life in a middle class home
But I'm sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it alone
I made myself money when I made the song sappy
But nothing I do ever makes me happy
When I feel real low I can meditate
And when that doesn't work I self-medicate
I can lower my heart rate, I can sit like a stone
But I'm sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it alone
Every time I think I've figured it out alright
I wake up making out with myself at night
Can't fall back asleep I just cry and moan
Yea I'm sick of going it alone, I'm sick of going it alone
No one should have this much introspection
You look outside and all you see is your own reflection
I get myself dirty then I clean myself up
Cigarette after sex, pour the wine in my cup
I made myself king and I built my own thrown
But I'm sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it, sick of going it alone

He just shrugged when you told him you've been seeing someone
He said, "We were never in it for the long haul"
Well two years seems like a long haul to me but I guess it's all relative
Now there's a weight in the air but I only half care
I'm tired of reading too much into these things
If it doesn't feel right we'll just let it unravel like shoe strings
I guess we'll never really know
When it's time to go
For the long haul
We always try to be friends then I end up in your bed
Contemplating the meaning of everything
Given any ideal I don't know how to feel about anything
You say you don't know what to do then I say, "Me too"
If I was certain I would tell you right now, babe
But nothing's ever clear, it's so far yet so near, it's so grey, babe
I guess we'll never really know
When it's time to go
For the long haul
I guess we'll never really know
When it's time to go
For the long haul

Forgetting
03:03
|

Didn't mean to make the wrong impression
In and out again
Seem to push in the wrong direction
I piss where you've just been
What slipped your mind was having fun
What slipped my mind was hit and run
But maybe forgetting was our biggest mistake
Maybe forgetting kept us from that lucky break, lucky break
Cheap denial makes the world go round
It helps you love yourself
I forget the silence, you forget the sound
Til we're strangers to everyone else
What slipped your mind was making love
What slipped my mind was the place above
But maybe forgetting was our biggest mistake
Maybe forgetting kept us from that lucky break
But maybe forgetting was the best mistake to make
To make

I play music with the son of so-and-so
And I smoke weed with the daughter of so-and-so
And I'm best friends with a friend of so-and-so
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so, no
I met so-and-so a the Zebulon
She got me back stage at the Terragram
She introduced me to her so-and-so
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so, no
I made out with the sister of so-and-so
She said she'd get me in the video
Was totally in with the hang at the studio
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so
Cause I've got big things coming my way
I've got got big things coming my way
You'll all say you knew me when
I was just a so-and-so
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so, no
I got drinks with so-and-so's booker
She likes my stuff and she's a real good looker
So now I'm a rock star, no longer a hooker
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so
Cause I've got big things coming my way
I've got got big things coming my way
You'll all say you knew me when
I was just a so-and-so
So don't call me a so-and-so, don't call me a so-and-so, no

The Vanishing Trick
02:35
|
|||
You called me on my birthday, now I know you're alive
Yes and I'm still alone but with a means to survive
And if you still think of me as a regression
Then it's about time I learned my lesson
If there's something to be said I better say it quick
Cause everything I touch does the vanishing trick
I slept for forty days and forty nights
Turned my room to a cocoon, shoot out the lights
And yes I did some comfort drinking
A swimming pool full of liquor to sink in
I was only halfway lying when I called in sick
Cause everything I touch does the vanishing trick
What about you? How have you been?
What about you? Are you happy again?
What about you? Are you really living now?
Good, good, good for you
I got a picture of you left on my phone
And sure I pull it out some nights when I'm home alone
Some call it self-sabotage, I call it therapy
The only evidence left of you and me
It's a memory candle I've burned to the wick
Cause everything I touch does the vanishing trick
Everything I touch does the vanishing trick
Everything I touch does the vanishing trick

She said, "I just need some space"

Time stops moving when we stop singing, "I'll love you til the cows come home"
So we're work work working for the man man man
Nine to five baby when in Rome
As if we're the dumb little children with nothing to do
Fifty cent from the dollar, give the rest back to you
So we dream dream dream of a big big love
Gigantic, gigantic
Seeing animals in the stars above
Man, you're such a romantic
I saw that look that you gave him as you passed in the hall
Supposed to feel something but babe, I feel nothing at all
Time will pass and we'll meet in the Eternal Valley
But until then I'm done scraping the scent off a lily
You're so influential, but I don't mind since I found God
God
God
God
God
God

Now That I'm Free...
03:22
|
|||
I stopped sleeping so well the night you threw me away
Me and Jamison cuddled, til night turned to day
As our little love nest transformed into a thorny thicket
If I said it was easy, you best believe I was lying
Professing love for my life, you best believe I was dying
Sucking every last drop out of one drink ticket
And it's so easy to say that I'm finally one with myself
That the forced isolation was a milestone to my precious health
You kept the necklace I gave you, I kept the trampoline
Wasn't surprised when you left me for a pyramid scheme
Took the appropriate actions but it's never enough
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
I wrote so many songs trying get over you
Til it started to seem like the wrong thing to do
As I looked in the mirror and saw your face in my reflection
No friend that I had could ever stop the obsession
Any cordial little push in a better direction
So you ask how things are, I can't answer, it's a loaded question
And it's so easy to say that the Heavens have begun to awaken
And that the Almighty light replaced the piece of my heart that was taken
But the truth is revealed in the tears in my eyes
The lows always outnumber the few and far between highs
Still desperately searching for diamonds in the rough
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
They say time heals all wounds but sometimes time wounds the heals
If you've ever been addicted then you know how it feels
Every lover since you has been methadone to the actual habit
And I've lived long enough to know that a good thing was tried
You don't truly know the good thing til the good thing has died
And then you're clawing at thin air in a last ditch attempt to grab it
And there's an unknown destination and I'm trying to get there
As the automatic time bomb in my throat says a quarter to nowhere
It'll all simmer down like the psychiatrist said
Double the prescription and send me to bed
But the pain won't subside, I need more of that stuff
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love

Junkie
02:17
|
|||
She said, "I'm tired of hurting you"
And yea I'm tired of you hurting me too
But I feel like a junkie when we talk on the phone
I feel like a junkie crying all alone
But I would take you right back cause I'm a junkie for you
I never loved nobody as much as I've loved you
And if you love him more then I guess there's nothing I can do
Cause I feel like a junkie when you leave me in the dark
You took my Blue and my Court and Spark
But I'd take you right back, cause I'm a junkie for you
Stupid addiction, got me fighting a war I won't ever win
Stupid affliction, just a holding on is my worst sin
I'm a fish out of water every time that we talk
You're the air I was breathing through
But I would take you right back cause I'm a junkie for you
So forget those words, forget that stupid thought
And I'll forget this mess that I thought I already forgot
Cause I feel like a junkie when the feeling comes back
My sky turns grey and my heart turns black
But I would take you right back cause I'm a junkie for you
Cause I'm a junkie for you
Cause I'm a junkie for you

I Think I Saw You
03:40

I think I saw you somewhere in a dream
In a place where no one cares about what's right or wrong
I think you caught me out there, singing someone else's song
You looked up from your dirty magazine
I think I saw you somewhere in a dream
I think we met before I was conceived
Dancing round a motel in our underwear
It's an inside joke that no one gets cause no one else was there
It's a tale I told that nobody believed
I think we met before I was conceived
But we all need something, something
To get us through the night
And I've decided, decided
That for me it's you
So give me something, something
Tell me everything's alright
Tell me all these nightmares ain't as real as they seem
Cause I swear I saw you somewhere in a dream
I think I might be crazy but that's alright
Small hallucinations, they get the best of me
But I'll take these delusions if it means they'll set me free
Anything just to shed a little light
I think I might be crazy but that's alright
And all these thoughts can boil into steam
But I swear I saw you somewhere in a dream

Everything's Okay
04:22

Rest your weary head, little angel
Soon the pain will slowly fade away
I know the good life takes a toll on you
And it hurts just to walk it out for one more day
But do you know how beautiful you are?
How beautiful you are as I lay you down?
You should know how beautiful you are
How you beautiful you are as I lay you down
You can rest your tired eyes, everything's okay
When the thing that you love is what ails you
And a fever is hanging over everything
When the darkness tries to lay its dirty hands on you
To make it go away I would do anything
Just so you know how beautiful you are
How beautiful you are as I lay you down
You should know how beautiful you are
How you beautiful you are as I lay you down
You can rest your tired eyes, everything's okay
Do you know how beautiful you are?
How beautiful you are as I lay you down?
You should know how beautiful you are
How you beautiful you are as I lay you down
You can rest your tired eyes, everything's okay

Took the training wheels off the bike
The trampoline is folded up by the trash
We run outside, then I play dead
Some things don't change
We still want attention
To prevent the low
And sustain the high
Just like we used to
So young, so dumb
Repeat, repeat, repeat
From toys to laptops, from racecars to fetishes
It comes around, you're still a little kid
From Capri Sun to Jamison
The poisons change, but the birds are still singing
Prevent the low
Sustain the high
Just like we used to
So young, so dumb
Repeat, repeat, repeat
I pick the memory that's not so mean
You and I on the trampoline
I pick the memory that's not so mean
You and I on the trampoline
Now there's dirt where it once stood
The birds are still singing
