Kiss It
03:14
|
|||
I didn't dream you to life
I never felt against my heart the blade of a knife
I never promised to myself
That I could cut everyone out for my mental health
Until I met you I didn't know
How vast the pain inside my heart could grow
Until I met you I thought
You could kiss it all away
You said you'd love me till your dying breath
But now it seems to me that I must love myself to death
I don't believe in the sun anymore
I've burned too deeply and my heart is sore
I don't believe you when you say you can
Kiss it all away
Won't you kiss it all away

Theater

Drinking in the theater
And I'm feeling dizzy, baby
'Cause I'm trying to explain
It ends in E-R, not in R-E
And you say you don't see the difference
And I ask if you're even listening
And I apologize for calling
Only when I'm feeling lonely
I pretended not to see you
When I arrived at the party
It's not that I don't like you
I just won't say that you scare me
And I'm down to my last smoke
And I know I'm going home alone
Tonight I'll lay in my bed
And curse the words I never said
I'm down to my last smoke
And I know I'm going home alone
Tonight I'll lay in my bed
And curse the words I never said
I'm down to my last smoke
And I know I'm going home alone
Tonight I'll lay in my bed
And curse the words I never said

You Took the Wheel
04:52
|
|||
I feel a part of me has died
We never got to say goodbye
I wait for you, and my heart it yearns
The news assured you won't return
Seasons come and seasons change
I'm afraid I don't feel the same
As when I saw you on that first night
We drew a smoke and shared a light
Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel
Inside the Beverly Hilton
I watched your friend try to summon
The spirit of someone we never knew
That night I fell in love with you
I left your bed before sunrise
Packed up my things and took a drive
I stayed the night in a haunted hotel
There I wrote out all my farewells
Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel
And I suppose I never really knew you
But somehow this feels like a goodbye
Like when you first leave your hometown
Or like seeing your father cry
They say home is where the heart is
I suppose I have no heart
And before we reach our little ending
Let our wounds have some salt
Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel

Fool's Gold
04:41
|
|||
Is it shame that keeps you from showing your face
When have I ever turned you away
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been hiding for a million years
I've been hiding for a million years
I am weary
I am weary
I am weary
I am weary
Are you just a pile of fool's gold
Are you gonna let me die in the cold
When I find out
I can only be told
That you'll only bring me trouble
So many times
I called you were nowhere to be found
I called you were nowhere to be found
My heartbeat, what a terrible sound
My heartbeat, what a terrible sound
I am weary
I am weary
I am weary
I am weary
I feel so small around you
I feel so small around you
I feel so small around you
I feel so small around you
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I called you were nowhere to be found
I called you were nowhere to be found
I called you were nowhere to be found
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years
I've been mining for a million years

Executioner
05:09
|

You're the executioner
I saw it on your computer
You lead the girls to the chopping block
And raise your weapon high
And they thank you when you do it
Because you're so damn good at it
And you say you love them
I'm not who I used to be
I saw it on your TV screen
I don't want more strangers to touch me
Or anyone at all
I'll stay in my bedroom
Pretending I am good for you
And you've fled the country
You're the executioner
(I hide like a fugitive)
I saw it on your computer
(Some days I forget how to live)
You lead the girls to the chopping block
(I go home with nature so placid)
And raise your weapon high
(I know she doesn't care)
And I'll thank you when you do it
'Cause we both know I deserve it
And I'll still call in the morning

Another Day
05:12
|

If you wanted to
You could have it all
We don't have to choose
We don't have to stop
We can just stay here for another
We can just stay here for another
We can just stay here for another day
Another day
It's the forgotten bridge
That I left unnamed
I was never on your mind
Anyway
We can keep treading for another
We can keep treading for another
We can keep treading for another day
Another day
I don't know if I can stop trying
Why it should be you, well, I don't know
You won't see me running home and crying
I'll make it good and I promise to take it slow
Honey, how can you love this city
When it doesn't even care if you live or die
You don't think that I've got it in me
But I could go all night
But I think
It's about time I leave
Before this place
Destroys me
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I think now I'll just wait to die
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I've felt another's touch for the last time
I think now I'll just wait to die

Never Love
02:55
|
|||
I'm ashamed of how I treated you
These last three years
I can't sleep without you here
We both wanted the same thing
And distance is too tiring
I'm still recovering
From when you kissed my lips
Got band-aids on my legs and hips
And conflicting emotions
I'm hopelessly devoted to not losing you
And not being alone too
I know you have someone new
It doesn't mean anything to you
But I'll never love anyone again

Hills
03:09
|
|||
I know you're tired from weathering
The storms and fires for so many years
So I'll tend to your blistered skin
And when you walk again I'll still be here
When you walk again I'll still be here
Your gaze upon me like an open casket
That I'm sure that I will have too
And I'll have no questions to ask
When it comes time to bury you
You looked at me like I was crazy
When I say I can I mean I will
And I'm not sorry I cannot stay
You had me barreling for the mountains
Had me running for the hills
Say farewell, my wayward vagabond
And I will grieve like unto a child
For I'm a drifter chained to fantasy
But I'll dream of you all of the while
But I'll dream of you all of the while
Your gaze upon me like an open casket
That I'm sure that I will have too
And I'll have no questions to ask
When it comes time to bury you
You looked at me like I was crazy
When I say I can I mean I will
And I'm not sorry I cannot stay
You had me barreling for the mountains
Had me running for the hills
Barreling for the hills

California Dread
07:03
|

So long, love of mine
It's high time we part ways
You keep your sunshine
I'll keep my desert haze
It feels I'm on trial
And you're the only judge
And who'd play defense for
A bandit on the run
And I grip my skin till I almost lose my vision
And I tunnel deeper till I can barely breathe
It's hard to love this city when I'm seeing crimson
And it never gave a damn about seeing me
I've had enough of
You saying you love me
When your words and my touch
Don't mean much of anything
I'll fuck the city
And fuck the New Orleans
It never meant much
But nothing meant so much to me
And you prey and I scavenge
And I pray the game will end
And you never once, boy
Considered me your friend
And I grip my skin till I almost lose my vision
And I tunnel deeper till I can barely breathe
It's hard to love this city when I'm seeing crimson
And it never gave a damn about seeing me
You want her so badly I can taste it on you
And I don't mind 'cause I've seen it all before
It's a shame that losing you is an exorcism
When I've never wanted to be taken more
I thought about you
When I was passing the junction on the interstate
And how you bore no surprises
I know you'll come around when it's far too late
I fled the high desert
Lest I be left for dead
But I've never been welcome
In your California dread
In your California dread

Palo Alto
04:19
|
|||
You passed in Palo Alto, and I missed the final call
It's been three years now, and I haven't healed at all
I wait for the day, but it hasn't happened yet
So I'll grieve for three years more for someone that I never met
You long to leave this valley, you say afflictions can't be cured
We cry like we're dying, like chicks to a mother bird
Oh mother, oh sisters, oh brother I knew in heart
I'll dream of you sweetly before my time to depart
Please don't leave before me
I need you here to stay
I don't want to see how strong I can be
So please don't leave before me
I search for a reason, for a culprit to imprison
In time I find it was I who commit the treason
A score of crimes for which I cannot be forgiven
Please don't leave before me
I need you here to stay
I don't want to see how strong I can be
So please don't leave before me
