Don’t worry me
I’m all alone
I’ve got my words and my friends
You watch the world
It’s spinning fast
And no one knows your name but that’s alright
I’m not the same
I guess its not what you want
What I needed
I watch her die
This is why I give up
Never to have lived
I’m so sorry
You’re so sorry
We’re so sorry
That all this went wrong
And It’s who I could’ve loved
Who I never could’ve been
And I still see who I cannot be
It’s that certainty in doubt
When you wander out again
And you used to be an ocean
So deep
I’m so sorry
You’re so sorry
We’re so sorry
That all this went wrong

Some people think
Some people are weak
Insecurities
Heavy on their wings
Some folks can be
More than we can see
What do they need?
They really aren't
less than you or me?
You don't need no recipe
Yeah you don’t need no recipe
On ebt
Burnout or Ex Marine
On silver screens
Dropout or PHD
Low self esteem
It’s time to see past these few things
No reason to be
So reckless and mean
You don't need no recipe
Yeah you don’t need no recipe

Maria
I left you a message on
Your cell phone.
Did you hear the truth through my slurred speech?
When will I know?
Did you hear it ringing?
I waited up
All night long
Can I tell you something?
It can't wait
Til I get home
Maria
I left you a letter on
Your night stand
Does it even hit you?
I'm leaving now
For the last time

Temporary colors
I always wear one
No one sees the difference
No not even me
You stop the world from looking in
You stop the world from looking in
You stop the world from looking in
You stop the world from looking in
Temporary colors
Cover up your name
No one gets to know you
When you’re hidden from within

Gold Paint

I left out a line
Who am I to you?
It’s long faded and gray
Im not used to things this way
Waiting for someone to tell me what they need
Waiting for someone to tell me that its me
And then you paint me gold
Just to watch it drip
Front row seats for everyone
It must be pretend
You’re waiting for someone to tell you what you need
You’re waiting for someone to tell you who to be
And now I know it’s hard to see
And now I know it’s hard to be
So I watch them dig
And I’ll get used to it
And what it display
Let me slip down the banks
You’re waiting for someone to tell you what you need
You’re waiting for someone to tell you who to be
And now I know it’s hard to see
And now I know it’s hard to be

Twice

And I remember
Standing riverside with you
I was younger
You were young then too
And we were lost
Well I've always been this way
I never talk much
About the things that I don't say
Try to calm me down
Seems you've lost the touch
Theres never been a reason
I must be out of luck
Didn't I think twice? It's the way I guess
Didn't you think bad about yourself?
Didn't you still try to hold me back?
To hold me back for all this time
For all this time
And I remember
Looking back at you again
I was younger
You were young then too
I don't care
Where it raises from inside
I always felt it
But felt I had to hide
Try to tell you now
I've been feeling stuck
Should I just keep quiet?
This seems to lock you up
Didn't I think twice? It's the way I guess
Didn't you think bad about yourself?
Didn't you still try to hold me back?
To hold me back for all this time
For all this time
I'm not home do I get back?
I’m not home do I get back?
I’m not home do you get back?

So when I
come back over
Is this it?
Do you love her?
You said I...
always hold back
I know why.
Will you save me?
I know I know
It’s over
I know the truth
Im old news
No highway
Back to you
And I never thought you’d
See things through
I know.
Cold Water
Bottles in rows
No one stops me
Whenever I go
Cold water
Troubles in tow
No one sees them
Cause they never show
I know I know
It’s over
I know the truth
Im old news
No highway
Back to you
And I never thought you’d
See things through
I know.

Every time
I have conversation
I’m left without
You returning the question
And now I know
It's hard for you to listen
When you're so damn important
I keep quiet for the rest of the night
I think I'm saying way too much
I think I'm saying way too much
I think I'm saying way too much
To you, to you
And only you entertain me
Now I'm wondering
And then you leave
I’m solo dancing
On the 8th floor balcony
This slow motion champagne
I was no one til I got home
I think I'm saying way too much
I think I'm saying way too much
I think I'm saying way too much
To you, to you

Curse
03:53
|

|
You watch me crumble around the corner
You start to shut down
The wolves will come out
And then you wonder
When is this over
Why am I always here
Well it must
Be a curse
It’s a curse
Oh it’s a curse
You have your troubles
You hide them so well
You start to sweat now
The truth will come out
And then you wonder
When is this over?
Why am I always here?
Well it must
Be a curse
It’s a curse
Oh it’s a curse

Trill

There are starlit everglades drifting through your fingertips as I watch you
These are trembling stuttered words that are stuck inside my mouth well I’m just a fool
Another steady word pressed against some perfect page just a daydream
And I don’t need no bar of gold or your sympathy for me when it’s over
And you bring it out of me like I always knew you would but I cave in
Lay me down again thats the way this always goes, must be easy
