I Don't Mind
03:30
|

I don’t mind the things you say
I’ve been feeling fine since you went away
I could fall in like and do what you say
Or I could run and hide ’til the end of the day
Throw me in the gutter baby, make me feel alright
All we ever want is to get by
Who am I?
Who are you?

Take Away
02:48
|
|||
Who’s looking in your direction?
I hope that you see me there, you make it so hard to breathe
In the light of all I’m living
‘Cause all that I see I fear, It’s just too heavy for me somedays
All I’m asking if will you come take me away?
I won’t bend, won’t listen to a word you say
Who’s standing in all the long lines?
And falling on bended knee, you must be so hard to please
In the earliest of evenings
I know that you think of me, you’re just too foolish to see somedays
All I’m asking is will you come take me away
I won’t bend, won’t listen to a word you say
You could break, but all I want to say
Is you could take, but won’t you listen any other way
Lord I’ve tried so hard to reach you
You give but you take away, it’s just a poison to me somedays

Replacement #3
03:43
|

It’s funny how people all tend to miss
The people that leave them on evenings like this
And it’s funny how often we still believe
We fall for ourselves and the tricks up our sleeves
I’m not who wants me and I’m not who I want
I’m just what’s left of all the things I’ve forgot
I get lazy and busy, I’ve been happy and blue
But I’m nothing without what I’ve since learned from you
It’s true nothing replaced you but heartache and wine
And a memory that lingers around from time to time
And a notion that everything around seems to be fine
Till I hear sudden silence, the heart that stopped was mine
It’s a shame to be leaving this blossoming noon
But someday be thankful for parting so soon
Ain’t it funny how people will lend you a kiss
I gladly accept them on evenings like this
I’ll admit nothing replaced you but heartache and wine
And a memory that lingers around from time to time
and a notion that everything around seems to be fine
Till I hear sudden silence, the heart that stopped was mine

Strawberry Pie
02:56
|

I wanted to cry but instead I drank pesticide
How could everything now just go without strawberry pie
I’m killing my time my plants all have died and everything’s fine
You told me it’s true I would be fine too so where do sign
And every dewfall’s led by two unmade beds
And when I do fall it’s with you in my head
I slept in my clothes, cornet’s morose, blacken my eyes
And punch on in once again. I’d say we were friends, but then I’d have lied
And every dewfall’s led by two unmade beds
And when I do fall it’s with you in my head
Why does everyone say she’s only the day, the nighttime awaits
When none other than one shines bright as the sun as morning time breaks

My Mind Is Not Right
03:37
|
|||
What is it that you meant to say?
When time passes slowly you’re okay
But everything seems to fade away
Into nothingness
Into nothing
On your own
Whatever that you saw your eyes are not mine
Give it a week to fall, my mind is not right
What is it that you’re living for?
Your friends are all gone, your jobs a bore
And nothing is moving anymore
Towards anything
Towards something
You’re alone
Whatever that you want, your desires are not mine
Give it a week to fall, my mind is not right

Not For You
03:22
|

So she calls and tells me it’s okay
But it’s been a long long time
Since I could separate the days
It’s the hardest part of life
What’s the use in trying to explain
If I’m so beneath you now?
When I was younger I could wait
It’s the brighter side of me
But not for you
Count down the reasons I should stay
As I’m walking out your door
What a useless gesture what a waste
Of the brighter side of life
But not for you
Think of what has come to pass
And I’m not there
I could hardly stand to say your name

Daisies #4
03:40
|

When you were looking down at me was it easier to see me on my knees, was it easier for you?
And is a tree a tree if it’s cut down, lying on the ground around the fallen leaves, is it anything to you?
A flower in the hand simply dies at your command
A piece of glass cuts through the sand and into you
A single match is lit, a moving target for you to it
Was just a mirror all along hidden from view
Is a carpet burn concern when you see the ashes in the urn, a broken vase, the time to learn that the problem was you
But when you were looking back at me what did you see, the needles in my feet, were they all showing through?
A flower in the hand simply dies at your command
A piece of glass cuts through the sand and into you
A single match is lit, a moving target for you to it
Was just a mirror all along hidden from view
We’ve believed the power up our sleeves could leave a flower for to grieve an open casket for to breathe
‘Cause we’ve conceived the emptiness in me, an open curtain call to grieve, to breathe the life back into we

What’s the matter with the ticking clock?
Does it never stop?
What’s the point in drinking every last drop?
You’ll get what I got
Oh love
If you do what you’ve always done
You’re gonna end up where you belong
I’ve been looking for a room with a view
A good pair of shoes and a sky bright and blue
My lonely lovers in a seaside tomb
She spoke with the moon just a little too soon
Oh my
If you can’t keep up with the time
You’ll be alone till the day you die
Here she comes now here she comes now
And you’ll wait all day
All we loves been lost
And everything looks dark and grey
There she go now there she go now
Was she ever even here?
I’m not one for love
But I’ll take it as it comes my way

Tail Lights
04:00
|

Way out here nobody’s lonely
And to themselves there’s no one else
Way out here nobody knows me
Seems I don’t even know myself
In the darkness there’s no shadow
In the light it’s plain as day
In the day it’s bright as glass gold
With some sort of blind man in the rain
The kinds of reds like in the tail lights
Get to your head all just the same
There’s no help if you don’t want it
Spend my days looking through a screen
There’s no hell if you confront it
What does hell even mean?
The kinds of reds like in the tail lights
Burn just as bright as roaring flame
The kinds of reds like in the tail lights
Get to your head all just the same

Hey sister sweetly
Could you release me
I’ve got dangling apparitions in my eyes
Cut down and broken
Old wounds reopened
Am I only just as brave as you desire?
Call it love or call it hapless circumstance
Hand in glove with the one you’re dreaming of in your eyes
And you’ll remain optimistic
As the world around you burns and true love dies
But no matter what you say
I am still your friend
Or is it only just to prove what you deny?
What’s the point in breathing?
I don’t wanna choose
All you know is the pain of being used in your eyes
Was it mine?
Give it enough space and some time
Give it some words and make them rhyme
Give it a name and we’ll be fine
Well I’m alone now
I’m almost home now
I can barely hear the echoes of your lies
Or We’ll go back to what we have always done
Hand in glove with the one you’re dreaming of in your eyes
