Don’t Forget
01:26
|
|||
|
Don’t forget to lock the door
Before you go to bed
Don’t forget to say goodnight
To the people in my head
Don’t forget about all the people
Living in a hole
Try not to forget about them
Even thought they’ve lost control

Who’s that Knockin’?

Who’s that knockin
At my door
What do they want
What are they here for
Should I let them in
Should I ignore
I’m still wondering who’s at my door?
Did I break the law
Should I run and hide
Is it the police
They wanna take me for a ride, ride
Should I let them in
Should I ignore
I’m still trying to figure out, who’s at my door
Who’s that knockin
At my door
What do they want
What are they here for
Should I let them in
Should I ignore
I’m still wondering who’s at my door?

So Slowly (2)
03:39
|
|||
|
So slowly, our life leaves us alone
So slowly, all of our thoughts are crucifying to the bone
So our hearts are broken
And its not the kind that you’re thinking of
So slowly, our hearts are broken
And its not from love
It’s not the kind you’re thinking of
...I dont know what you’re thinking of
So slowly, all of our steps are crucifying
So slowly, all of our thoughts are infantilized
It’s another late afternoon
I’m sitting alone
Waiting on nothing to do
So slowly, all of our life
Passes us by
So slowly, its the kind of life
I’m not sure that I want

Honesty

|

|
I’m looking for a little honesty
Lets put away all the smoke and mirrors
I’ve had it, thats enough for me
Sometimes simplicities the best

Something Wrong
02:32
|
|||
|
I don’t know what I should do
I really do love you
From time to time
I make mistakes
I’m afraid, Ill cause your heart to break
I try and try and I don’t know why
I always seem to make you cry
I really don’t know whats wrong with me
I need help and I need it now
I dont know where and I don’t know how
I know they’ll always be something wrong with me

Sunny Day
02:35
|
|||
|
It’s a sunny day
And I’m thinking things could turn out my way
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to say
It’s a sunny day

the angels
02:26
|
|||
|
The angels fly east
To another site
And all my heart and grief
Is left her to subside
I don’t know how long it takes
To find a cure for your heartbreak
And all the innocence has left me here to repent
The angels fly away
Nothing more here to say
I found my heart on my sleeve
Will a million diamonds and the dream
The angels fly away
Nothing more here to say
They’re all gone anyway
So I sit here today
All the clouds out in the sky
Left all the imprints today
One more
And I'll be taken away

Sound that’s in My Head
01:28
|
|||
|
I’m in love with the sound thats in my head
I know I’ll never find it but I’ll chase it till I’m dead
I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop
And if it does than I know it’ll finally stop
Ahh, but enough about that
It’s 73 with a little breeze, but rain is on the way
I’m in love with the sound thats in my head
I know I’ll never find it but I’ll chase it till I’m dead

I Don’t Care About You
03:03
|
|||
|
I don’t care about you
Go to hell if you please
Hells too good for you
A fictional place to get ice cream
Fuck you

I Killed a Spider
02:48
|
|||
|
I killed a spider
Came into my house
I took it out
And it came back again
And again and again
I finally killed it
And that was the end
I picked it up
And I carried it out
But it came back in
Without a doubt
The very same spider
The very same spot
I flushed it away and
I miss it a lot
But now its gone
And it won’t come back again
I went and killed it
It wanted to be friends
But now that its killed
It’s gone and its not
Coming back here
I miss it a lot

Over & Over
03:28
|
|||
|
I waited up all night
But you did not arrive
I took the photographs down last night
Can’t stand to see them around
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
Sometimes I hear the songs
That we used to sing along to
And I feel I’ll never escape
The brokenness of fate
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
I waited up all night
But you did not arrive
I took the photographs down last night
Can’t stand to see them around
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
Hear you say when you feel better make the call
Or just lose it all over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
