Emotional Heroin
03:37
|
|||
When you talk to me
It feels so saccharine, so down again
You might turn the tables once
But I'll find my way back up
When I talk to you
I feel so young again, so wise again
And you just sit there staring
Like I really don't have a clue
What I heard you say
It felt so nonchalant, my heart it stops for you
I need platonic amusement override
I feel it too
What I saw you do
It made me lose my mind, made me cry
In time for you
I reach out knowing exactly what you're gonna do
Shoot me up
You're emotional heroin
It won't work fast
If you pave the way again, cause
I've been on my knees and I've been begging for it
Please, please, please
Shoot me up
You're emotional heroin
It won't work fast
If you pave the way again, cause
I've been on my knees and I've been begging for it
Please, please, please
Most every day is such a chore for me
Such a bore for me to think
In terms of right or wrong
I see you spin
Don't denigrate the ones who care so much
Use them as a crutch, you'll see
The things they say
Will be found in double time
What if I woke up and asked of you
To describe what you see
Swirling memories of lost time
Want to reclaim all they've been
If you can afford to jump
Don't try and say I would not mind
I think you know by now exactly how
I picture you in mind
Shoot me up
You're emotional heroin
It won't work fast
If you pave the way again, cause
I've been on my knees and I've been begging for it
Please, please, please
Shoot me up
You're emotional heroin
It won't work fast
If you pave the way again, cause
I've been on my knees and I've been begging for it
Please, please, please

Lakes
02:45
|

The lakes look different when you're near
When you're near they're gone
Upper ceiling windows have no license to be here
I know your name very well
Happen on me once well I'm not doing so swell
We'll find ourselves dressed in sin
The roads will close slowly and they'll try to upend us
We'll change gracefully
Oh how you'll age gracefully
And we will come to see
That nothing stays the same
I see myself on holiday
Drifting off slowly as they turn all the lights up
Introspection is here to stay
Battered old clinics with their knives all around them
We'll change gracefully
Oh how you'll change gracefully
And we will come to see
That nothing stays the same
What do you want from me
This time I cannot provide guarantee
I never knew the things you hide
Could be so destructive, did you have me in mind
We'll change gracefully
Oh how you'll age gracefully
And you will come to see
That nothing stays the same

Vanishing Act
02:51
|

What you want from me
Is impossibly complex
And your dying laugh
Had us turned around, your love is halved
Pass the rosary
I am losing faith and I
Cannot bear to see
Flagrant suicide, so plain, so clean
I am stringing on devotion
I can barely even start
You, clamor and commotion
How long must I play this part
And I've come to see
What you want from me
Vanishing act

Better Than The Rest
02:33
|

Y'know, something's just not clicking, y'know
It's coming into my head but it's just not
Getting to where it needs to
I'm not using it the way I need to use it
What you said to me
Is no ordinary top-of-heart decree
I put your head in a daze
You can key my car
You said you'd be a star
You said it's all about
True love in the ending
Makes me wanna scream
Makes me wanna shout
I got my eyes set up
So I can pull yours out
Two birds of a feather make it through
I'm in for stormy weather, how bout' you
Say it loud
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest
I don't know how the story ends
And I can't see if I'll be your friend
Cause I don't know if that other door
Gives the same truth
The one we found on the floor
Just one short minute alone will do
On and on fun, we can make it a few
If you don't mind reassurance can pay
For my emotional psyche you've left this way
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest
I can't say that I'm better than the rest, babe
I can't say that I'm better than the rest

Good evening
I would kindly ask of you
To take a seat, you will be satisfied
Please comply
Ask no further questions
I want to sing
And I don't care who says my name
And suffering
Poison chalice, drops of fame
They'll come to see
That it's not all in our eyes
They'll sell you out
And then they'll try to act surprised
But you will see
Cause they don't know you and me
Oh yes, you will see
We'll do it through their muted pleas
Psychedelic hymns in rainfall
Make me feel so good
We'll do it sans the help of alcohol
It won't make you understand
Maybe breathe the morning mist
So it makes me terrified
Forever nervous that you want to call
Phone rings and I'll go to hide
What is it you wanted
I can only provide so much
I know my place
And I know it's not with you
You come up short
And all this work to see it throughh
You want something
And I'm afraid I can't give up
I can see the way you think of
The people, so mollified
Scared to death of the next hurdle
You point in between their eyes
If you wanted you could remove
Things that intend to harm
Time itself would have a warning
Live lives underscoring charm
We appreciate your cooperation
The ride is not yet over
Please remain seated
Keep all arms, handbags, thoughts, limbs
Inside the car
Until we come to a complete stop

Evergreen Snakes
02:35
|

I saw a message that would turn me around
Evergreen Snakes can dance just as well as you can
And though it really didn't stand any ground
We watched it fall, we watched it sink, we watched it drown away
When it hit the water it made no sound
Images of shot dead pioneers won't help the lost be found
A choir sung at last, so hear
Fruits of sacrifice and dreams come to die, hold them near
Why won't you let us walk away
How could you just fly by
A million non-traditions sing in key
How could you let them hear your sound
I saw a message that would turn me around

Eight Days
02:19
|
|||
Cause when you look to me
It's just like when I want to be your fool
To love and then you seem impatient
Every day
I'll cure what ills you now
If you'll afford to thrill us
Now you're gone, away, afraid
To speak to some dying coat of arms
It's been
Eight days, nonstop rattle from you
Eight days, you lie, you lie, you lie
We'll sing together
And we will find the end together
And we can hold our hands together
And we'll be fine
Cause what I want to see
Is just your own dichotomy of hate
I wait to say the words
That can make you lose your mind
And most importantly
I'll run away and find a sea of love
To drown you
And all your loser heartbreak friends
It's been
Eight days, nonstop rattle from you
Eight days, you lie, you lie, you lie
We'll crash together
And we will meet the end together
And we can touch our hands together
And we'll be fine
We will be fine
And we'll be fine
We will be fine

Why Won't You Adore Me?
04:23
|
|||
I never thought of asking you
More than you would ask me
I never dreamed the things you do
Could wash away to sea
But if I'd have you back
It would be such a ball to play
We'd forget all jealousies
Keep pleasantries at bay
I saw something that you could not
Stand to have so seen
As the martyrs infiltrated
Sketches of your dreams
Riding high on toxic clouds
Of heady iron fists
Undeserving, self interested lips
Are what you kiss
Why won't you adore me?
Why can you feel so unmaligned
It happens to floor me
When I see you so ahead of time
Something more could never kill
The thoughts you have inside
Every drop of reasoning
Just makes you want to hide
If I had it all, you'd come right in
As if to say
Candy coated plans of action
Never go my way
I knew that you had it
When you walked across the room
Cozy up to disaffected losers
In the tomb
Why won't you adore me
Why can you feel so unmaligned
It happens to floor me
When I see you so ahead of time
Why won't you adore me
Why can you feel so unmaligned
It happens to floor me
When I see you so ahead of time

Heard about it from your friends
Guess they really know me well
Better than you'd want them to
When you're putting me through hell
Said they saw you at the park
Playing games with broken hearts
Sowing seeds with which to kill
The people who you used to thrill
I could never ricochet
Images of you in May
Hand in hand a lullaby
Of all the things you wouldn't try
Laughing at his funny jokes
Just burns me up and serves to stoke
Embers of insanity
I write this song for you and me
But I don't need you, no I don't
I'm still alive all on my own
When you're living all alone
You never hear "Oh I'm not home"
All these words we used to say
They mean so little nowadays
Pick up the pieces, build my wall
I can't believe you let me fall
