If it does, it’ll finally stop

Flake plastic flowers
Grow on your grave
I’ve seen your face
All over the place
I hadn’t been to funeral
Since 1978
All these houses with their windows
But no escape
Call me an idiot
Whatever you please
I wear nothing but necklaces
All over me
Once more I ask you this
You refuse to take me in
Once more I’m showered in pain
But no one is left to blame
Fake Plastic flowers on your grave
Story says you died away in 1978
December comes, December goes
I can’t grow with all these clothes
They’re taking me down the road
Onces more I shout saying
It goes
I watch the trees
I watch the sun set
In a cemetery filled with thoughts and regret

Broad Brush
02:49
|
|||
|
Why you wanna go and paint everyone with such a broad brush?
Why you wanna go and treat everyone that way?
Why you wanna go and paint everyone with such a broad brush?
That ain’t the way to make everything ok
One day you’ll see...
That’s not the way that you’re supposed to be

Star Down
03:01
|
|||
|
Have you come to take my star down?
You won’t like it when I fall
Have you come to take my star down?
You won’t like the results at all
Don’t you know that you was born to lose
And you won’t be anything at all
You’ll just end up looking for a side to choose
And feeling very, very small

French Revolution
02:48
|
|||
|
I was thinking a lot
About what I haven’t got
And How it all goes
To the man at the top
While we all scrimp and foil
And watch these companies fall
They take everything
And we get nothing at all
And it’s about this time
I get really fucking mad
When I think about the things
That I don’t have
French Revolution:
It could be the situation
I ain’t sayin’ it’ll happen
But someone’s got to pay
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
Hey!
I heard you say
That you want to come and get me
You’ll be ok
You’ll stay away
If you wanna know what’s good for you

Dear Mortgage Lender
Please, don’t forget about me
For its supposed to be cold tonight
And I’ve got not place to be
Dear Mortgage Lender
Please, see it my way
I been looking for a job real hard
And I’m thinking it could be ok
Dear Mortgage Lender
Are you coming for my home?
I don’t know whats going on
But I wish you could let me be
Dear Mortgage Lender,
Is that you at my door?
I’ve got a bullet and
Nothing left to live for
Dear Mortgage Lender,
You can have my house
But before you put it on the market
You’re going to have to have to carry me out
Dear Mortgage lender,
I lost my job in the factory
And I could really use some help right now

Daylight
03:09
|
|||
|
I’ve walked a thousand miles
I’ve never seen anyone’s bright smiles
I’ve heard your stories in coffee, dime stores
I’ve always chosen to ignore
Truth and lies they paralyze
My insignificant of being around you
I’ve always been the one to stand
In the corner of everything you’ve chosen to do
When will summer end
And spring time will rush right back in
I’ve walked a thousand cold nights
To think about finding you in middle of daylight
Shining on through
Coming back from your window to you
Daylight, is all I see
I chose to find nothing carelessly
Onces more, call me a fool
I’m more than anything
But nothing to you
Onces more, I’ll find a way
To find some other smile at the end of the daylight
I’m going home at the end of the night

Like a Sun
02:45
|

|
I don’t wanna buy
What you got for sale
I’ve already sold out
Or can’t you tell?
I’m gonna burn out like a sun
I’m gonna burn out like a sun
I’m gonna burn out like a sun
I’m not going out
The suns too bright for me
I'm hanging my head
Or can’t you see?
I’m gonna burn out like a sun
I’m gonna burn out like a sun
I’m gonna burn out like a sun

Bright Faced People
05:50
|
|||
|
All the bright faced people coming to help me out
I used to to think that I could do it but now I’m in doubt
I hit me knees and I try to pray real hard
But I’ve got no faith so I doubt that it’ll get me very far

Sleeping/Memory Loss
04:34
|
|||
|
I used to rather be sleeping
But now I’m not so sure
So many things to consider
I never thought of before

Jesus didn’t die for me

When the Flowers Go
01:30
|
|||
|
When it flowers go
So do you
Kinda makes me wonder where you went to
No note around
Nothing to be found
You left and didn’t make a sound
When it flowers go
So do you
Kinda makes me wonder where you went to
