Is It Sad
00:38
|

Is it sad I know I could kiss you a thousand times and it still wouldn't feel right?
Is it sad I never get tired of your face. I could stare at it for days, always.

Lost in your voice I found myself out of choices but I chose you
Trapped in my head I don't know what I said but I found you

A Cigarette and A Porch
01:51
|

Could I get a bottle of wine to go with this depression?
I'm just attention seeking and self loathing, it's an obsession.
A cigarette and a porch is all I need.
A cold pillow and a place to sleep
Could I get a noose to compliment my position?
Tie and knot my thoughts around my condition.
A coffee mug and ink is all I drink.
A sketchbook outlining all my dreams.
But there are worse things than being alone
Like being isolated inside what was a home
And there are worse things than being by yourself
Like all those hurt things you tried not to delve unto
Could I get a bottle of wine to go with this depression?
I'm just attention seeking and self loathing, it's an obsession.
A cigarette and a porch is all I need.
A cold pillow and a place to sleep

I'm shedding all my leaves
The winter is coming and setting me free
I'm planting a new seed

while you're out there
driving around somewhere
do you read the words I wrote
while you're away from me
playing and sleeping
Am I the place you call home
cause my heart is telling me you're leaving
You're just another burn into my jeans
your heart is not worth keeping
if you're just another fleeting dream

Veins and Arteries
00:50
|
|||
What did you see in me?
And why did it fade away so quickly?
Forgotten and replaced memories
I told you everything but does she?
All the secrets in veins and arteries
Find a diary in every thought you think
Wash your blood in the salt of the sea
But your imprint is all I can see

Forget Me
00:46
|
|||
I can't stop thinking about you
you cross my mind all the time
and I know you don't want anything with me
but i can't help my mind
I know it's hard for you, it must be
I don't want you to forget me

Undone

I'm sick of singing the blues
I'm sick writing about you
You never caused me anything but pain
I'm sick of seeing you and your face it always proves me wrong
You always prove me wrong
I'm always just the one that sits here watching everything come undone around me
sitting here picking up the pieces of what used to be what we did
now you're somebody else

A Muse of Some Sort
01:41
|

as i sat in your car
you weren't far,
you were getting gin from the store
and i thought to myself
i can't die or be anybody else
because i saw your eyes
in that delicate shade of green
and it meant everything to feel seen
I've been so hidden recently
you've unveiled my secrecy
And I love the way you speak
Everything you say makes me feel weak
Only in the knees, for my heart is strong
At least enough for me to sing this song
And I felt your skin
Only once but it was mine
Until then I wait, until the next time
When I can see your eyes
That delicate shade of green
Intoxicating thoughts of what we will be

Easily
02:09
|

I've been traveling to all the places you frequent most
And I haven't had any luck on my search, to find you.
I have been searching for a place you might be where we can meet
But I am starting to see that you are simply avoiding me
But that's not a problem at all,
I'll keep going until I fall.
That's not a problem for me,
I don't give up that easily

Cold Hands
02:41
|

You were over there
And I was over here
And I shook
I mistook you for someone else
You were sitting there
and you're reading a book
and I tried to look away
But it's hard to forget a face like that
The winter feels colder now
The winter feels colder now
I was sitting here and you were sitting there and we drank
We jumped right in and didn't hesitate
I was laying here and you were laying there
And you thought of those red Curls you had eyes for
I can feel your cold hands on me
That sweet breath in your sleep
I can feel your cold hands on me

One Of Those Nights

sick and tired of this cold
shivering and wishing for a hand to hold
would you drink coffee with me?
we can laugh for forever and stay up til three
snow falls, my father calls
i have to go; i don't want to
seasons change
i remain the same
hoping that you would too

Bedsheets

You're just like the bed sheets
That used to cover me
in that room where we used to sleep
You're just like the rain
Bringing me down for days
Remember when we all those board games
You're just like my scarred mouth
Lord knows it won't heal now
I tried I tried to figure you out

Flowers

I found her in the garden
with flowers in her hair
I found her in the garden
lying there
I found her in your thoughts
I found her where she rots
I found her in your mind
where she will rest in time
what did they do to you? What did they say? why are you so mistaken, baby?
what did they tell you? what did they say? i am so ashamed
They found her in the bath tub
with raindrops on her face
you found her in the bathroom
What a disgrace
I could've saved you
I could have saved you
I could have saved you from this
What did they do to you? What did they say? I am so ashamed baby
I could've save you, and erased
I could've made you stay

The Only Thing, I
02:25
|
|||
The only thing I have in common with my dad is a cigarette drag
In the morning, I pour my coffee and sit back
and I laugh at you all who think you've got it all figured out
for a closed mind, you've sure got a big mouth
And I woke up with a sadness in my head
waiting for you to come back to bed
