Before She Can

It's beady eyes
Long snout
A pink end
My little one
Trys to pretend
Tries so hard
She's sweet
Her little face
Her pink nose
She couldn’t
She would never
She wants to
I stop her
Chorus:
Before she can
She resents me

A Little Piece
01:34
|
|||
|
A little piece
A little piece of me
Broke today, broke today
Something happened
I can't explain
I'm smiling
I don't mean it
Don't be tricked
This isn't how
It is supposed to be.

Looking Back At You

2, 3, 4
I gave you all that I had
But it wasn't enough
So sad
I gave you all that I had
But it wasn't enough, too bad
I gave you all that I had
But it wasn't enough, so sad
I tried, to not be so bad
I guess I wasn't enough
Now it's in the past
Now it's in the past (repeated until end)

Confusion (Ages 15-27)
01:12
|
|||
|
it doesn’t matter so much anymore
this structure has seen better days
when you were here and it was still warm
now everyday i wear my sweater
i am hoping that this might change
it seems i get myself stuck often
this confusion is a state of comfort
what have i done to live up to these expectations?
someone else is here, it is warm
then they leave and i feel it again
i tiptoe around the center of the room
for fear if i near the edge, i will fall in
this is what happened when your exit arrived
you stepped off and forgot about me
i was able to save myself once from falling
but i am losing it every time i step near
i look down there and think, what if i fell?
it wouldn’t matter much to you anymore
your cordial ways, how you act like it’s okay
what is there left to burn? you already took it all

Love Sick Fool
03:25
|
|||
|
Sitting by a campfire with your friends
Look over and wonder if you believe in them, who are they, really?
You wonder if you'll ever trust again she broke your heart now she wants to be friends, god damn
Let's get a beer I'll pretend I'm okay it'll seem like that till the end of the day
Then I'm lonely, then I'm sad
Let's watch your favorite movie I'll pretend it's cool
you'll tell your friends later I'm a love sick fool, who still wants you
Did you show them my face did you show them what I wrote I'm beginning to think this was all a joke, and I'm fucked

This is Where We Are Now

This is what we learned about
This is what we dreamed about
This is what we talked about
This is where we are now

Holding On
03:06
|
|||

sometimes i feel the compulsory need to talk when i don’t need to
and i’m embarrassed by my unnecessary language, the words i didn’t need to say
can you trust that i am just, nervous around you I’m not this way all the time
and you’re leaving, i’m worrying about what, could happen what, might be these things fade
i know it to be true, but i will still chase you until, i am sure of what i know won’t be
the pulse on your neck and the way that you kissed i could tell that you were scared for a while
you, closed your lips tight, and it, didn’t quite feel right i’m confused by your, unusual ways, hey
flirt with me at the end of the night but you say you’re not ready for what i feel is right
i am giving up on all of this i’m with it
and i hate myself for trying so hard for giving in
i know it’s not the right time but i am still lying
to myself and it’s okay that i won’t be broken again the same way

i saw you, last week you were fine
now i think, you’ve reached your time
in the garden
you stood next to me
in your garden
under a tree
you told me
this could be it
i didn’t believe it
this time it’s it
in your garden
standing with me
in your garden
you look so lovely
i saw you laying on the bed
i was wondering
do you have somewhere better to rest your head
in your garden
you showed me around
in your garden
i had found
you, you’ll be there for us still
you, i’ll never forget you
oh you, were something that held us together
all of the time
now i’m wondering
where did you go
when you were leaving us
a few minutes ago
in your garden
you left a piece of me
in your garden
oh i can see
87 years it was so different
you’re leaving us now
it’s so painful
in your garden *
you planted for me
in your garden
you loved to be
and i love you, i always will
i will remember
everything you told me
in your garden *
standing with me
in your garden
a sun ripe bee
and the way
you loved this place
it was so beautiful
the look on your face
in your garden
stay here with me
in your garden
you’ll always be

Love's Not
01:36
|
|||
|
Breaks a long time, hurts along the line
Couldn't stop the crying blank mind isn't lying
Gently go away now, left alone again how?
Softly let me breathe, drift away, away from me
Love's not here, find it
Love's not here, blinded
Love's not gotten kinder
Love's not a fighter

Today's Ways
01:04
|
|||
|
Dishonest and cruel
The way of modernity
Bright light here
Screen constantly
Trying to adapt
Trying to be accepted
Fate is not waiting for me
I am without direction
In this world
chasing the shadow
Of something I'll never see
I don't know what to say
When I do, it doesn't help
No responses
No one is getting back
It doesn't matter
I suppose
It's just the way it is now
|

Leave
02:30
|
|||
|
Well I look to the west
See the sun in your eyes
This might not last
I'm afraid I'll still try
I thought about you today
And everyday before that
Im waiting for your release
Leave me please

Pieces
03:00
|
|||
|
I'm just thinking of you
I just don't know what to do
The pictures still hang in the same place
Of the room you told me our life was a disgrace, to you
I'm so, sorry I blew it with you
I'm so sorry I blew it to
Chorus:
Pieces love oh, pieces love
Pieces love oh, pieces love
I blew it to, pieces love
I blew it to, pieces love
I saw you, and you wanted to hang
At a bar where we used to stay
For hours love, it was me and you
Now I'm, so sorry cause I blew it all to
Repeat Chorus

Don’t Wait Forever
02:20
|
|||
|
this place is so scary will you hold my hand
we are both dying let’s try to pretend
we will live forever, i can be naive
i’ll take you along if you want to see
but please don’t wait forever
it’s happened to me before
you’re so beautiful, is this real
from my dreams you unfurled
now we are sharing a meal
please tell me you’ll stay here

|
1,2,3,4!
I'm melting away, from the others
Walking in darkness, is there another?
I try to save face as I hear a rustle
Let me take a chance to fix this
Relapsing on you, my mind wonders
I can almost see beyond her
For so long, I believed
I was the person you said I would be
I'm thinking, my time was wasted
I'm thinking, my time was wasted
I'm thinking, my time was wasted
Time, time, time, was wasted
|

You’re Still Here
01:07
|
|||
|
I wish your face would leave my brain
But I see it everyday, I don't know what to do
I'm just wondering, where do you hide out?
Where can I find you? Here I come and here I go, hey
