Maybe
02:42
|

I'm begging you to leave.
Pardon me if I don't choose to grieve.
Pardon me if I tell you, just hit the grass.
Hit the past, become a snake and then never last.
Take me through back home, where slithers suffice.
Leave me as empty as the glass or the vice.
Believe in me, as I do,
As I bleed, as I lose.
Take what you want out of me.
Maybe you'll have something left to believe.
Maybe some memory, maybe some breath,
Maybe you'd leave and then there'd be nothing left
Skeleton closet, mark on the wound,
Never a room it was always a tomb.
Suicide girlfriend, treble in clef,
What is you basis, and where is he, heh?
Take what you want out of me
Maybe a lie and maybe belief,
Maybe an answer, maybe a grief
Maybe a dream or maybe a reef
Maybe the ocean, maybe the breath
Maybe the artist, or maybe the deaf
Maybe a cancer, maybe a smoke,
Maybe a choice, and then, baby, you'll choke.

Always Know
03:20

You weren't there when I was most alone
A dead body crying out for a home
I meant to change, to know your face
All I have are empty places
I go back but it's not at all the same
Here I sing another song
It's beautiful but it feels long
Any time I take to think of this
I won't walk away
I've changed for days
I look to grow, I hate to show
I invite you closer
But you'll never know
Just what's happened
I will not give a bit
And change I don't feel in your countenance
You're a countess and I am a counterfeit
I'll countdown the days you were not ever ashamed
And I'll count forever
And I'll sever
Don't make me go
There's only one thing I hold on to
When I am alone
And it's all I can think of
I'm ashamed it came to this
But I will always know that your love is bliss
Yes I will always know that your love is bliss
Yes I will always know that your love is bliss
Yes, I will always know
Yes, I will always know
Yes, I will always know

Cement

They'll never hear you out/ Nobody has a clue what you're all about/ Despite the fact that you shout/ Your message so loud to that big crowd/ How do you feel now?/ You alpha male/ Did you just ruin?/ Did you just fail?/ I will not walk around/ Thinking my head is attached to the ground/ I'm not some decent clown/ That someone can poke at and laugh around/ I never did any more/ Their open doors are all lost just like the cement/ That we all wanted in our intent/ That we all wanted in our intent

Forest Hollow

Like a change that you feel in the night
So come, and come out alive, alive.
Oh they want the tide from me,
No waves but the ones you've seen.
Out, alive, alone.
You come out alone, you come out alive
And one more taste, but then they go inside
Go inside
'You do what you want' the title screams
And beg all the life, the life from me.

I Know
02:41
|

I hear you on the top side
You sing of better days
And I will never mention this place
It's not about anything except what you are
The things you've taught me
The things you've torn apart
If I could go there now
If I could affect
Any change, anything left
Nothing will happen, now
I go there alone
I know. I know.
Waiting in motion that I could cease
While I wait for you on an empty beach
And never go back, back home
Those sleepless, endless nights
Oh, those birds in the trees
How empty they look
How empty they shook
I still feel the Winter
And I still feel the crash
I still feel the kiss
And I still want to ask
Of course, I will not.
I will only be all that I've been.
Nothing. Nothing.

Love
04:38
|

From all I said I'd wish
I'll never grant another kiss
And I'll hold my face up to the stars
I'll claim my faith in love and hate
And know what I have has been fate
I won't say it now
Because I did love
But what do I know?
You change time as time grows
Into a face of tired hope
That you will know
Though it changes everything
I've ever felt before inside
I know I can hold on because all of this is right
I will hold on, and I will hold on.
And I will never let go
I will never let go
I will hold on, and I will hold on
And I will never let go
And love
And love
Love

Binary Dichotomy

Follow me into a world
With all you ask of me
At the end of leash
At the end of a girl's hand
Call it catastrophe
Wearing a face that I don't even know
Call it consistent
Call it forced growth
Call it what you want and all that you need
To ruin myself so you feel happy
Do anything to stay in this entrancement
After I answer in riddles, you call it romance
And you have me, inside out
I just want to love
I've been working for too long
To have this fall apart
I've been bleeding in dark
I just want to love
I am a human landslide
And energy of sparks
Shoots from my eyes
I just want to love
I am worth as much as these liars
I just want to love
I'm more valuable now
I can see my soul
I can do whatever I want to
I just want to love
I can't even do that
Sing till the heart pumps battery acid
Just keep pumping songs out
Until a girl asks it
Where did you come from
And how can I live without you
I heard your soul inside of your song
And I don't even know what to do
I just want to love
Could it be you and me now
I just want to love
Have you heard me out
I just want to love
Are you capable of listening
To everything above
That I might have to shout
And it just goes on, on, on, on, on, on
It just goes na, na, na, na, na ,na
Yeah it just goes on and on and on, on
Like all those little child songs

Unspoken

Excuse me, missus,
I was wondering what your kiss tastes like
I'm bleeding and I got no one to stand beside
Excuse me, missus,
If I see you in the morning light,
I'll think I'm dreaming.
Then I'll go back to the night I've seen.
From all of this, dream.
I'll never get out.
I'd rather scream to the end.
But I'm almost out.
Change is coming
And I feel it running through my veins
They say that the Spring will come back again
Change is coming
And I feel it running through my veins
They say that the Spring will come back again
I don't know if I've been alone too long.
All I've felt is what I'm singing in these songs.
Never once did I ever ask for another one,
Not another one.
Change is coming
And I feel it running through my veins
They say that the Spring will come back again
Change is coming
And I feel it running through my veins
They say that the Spring will come back again

Is This A Joke?
03:02

An evening walk,
I take the night alone.
I think to myself
Under the stars.
I think of faces
And the memory's grown
I think of lives that have been torn apart.
I will believe you.
I will walk with you now.
I will do anything that you ask.
My life is servitude and I have grown
To me a man in a mask.
Oh baby, oh darling
Can you just tell me who I am?
Oh baby, please darling
Can you just tell me who I am?
I smoke a joint,
I huck a cigarette back.
I think of you with every drag that I take.
My life has never looked the same since you left
But I have only been awake.
If we move as fast as we can run
We can get back to the start.
But as I get there I'm only confused
Because the start looks so dark.
Oh baby, please darling,
Can you just tell me who I am?
Oh baby, please darling,
Can you just tell me who I am?
It gets quiet
I can't see
The milk runs
It won't bleed
And it lasts
Until I know

Whatever It Takes
02:56

Something in your eyes
Burns just like the sunshine
Feel it in my heart
But I wish it was always the last time
Nothing moved, beyond the spine
Nothing will, nothing stand in line
Nothing goes so fast through my mind again
Let it all send
How it's always been
Perfect
Getting up the line
I don't want to see your face somehow
Too important to see for what these eyes
And this world allows
Reality has kept me in check so far
If I go further I will go dark
I will go dead, I will be quiet
I will move faster than anyone in sight and
If it was a ghost that I should become
Then I'd fly over the sky and never bother anyone
Let it come from my choice
Let it come from my heart
Let me just say that we can start over
We can start over
Never lose hope
Those things you want to say, say them today
I don't want to take this, I want to just play
The world is a playground and all these sounds
Are my swingsets
Nothing should ever be less than innocent
Know your human life, got it?
What you invented!
If it was created, you probably made it!
And I know how these old things go
If you want it in life, well, then,
It just comes and finds you
And I don't want to go quiet tonight
I don't want to go gentle into that good night
I don't want to die
But I know I'm alive
And I'll do whatever it takes just to stand by your side

Losing Summer
03:33

Summer is here
And outside
It's clear.
I float on the lake.
With balloon under my back.
I call out to my friends,
And they're able to call right back.
So can you tell me
Where does it go?
And why does the world say no?
I could talk for hours
About smells alone
I could meditate on flowers
I could take a million hours
And I would drone right on
And all the while, the sun shone
Shine to show the everglow of this dawn
Change me back
Just change me back
I want to feel the warmth always
I want to know right in my bones
Change me back
Change me back
I want to feel the regrowth
I want to always know
The sunshine
This sunshine

Enemies

A Sunday drive
I let that speed beat down again
And soak it in
From places I've never seen
And all you hide
Divide me again
And hide me in sand
Hide me
I may finish this song now
End where I am not allowed
I just need this moment of peace
There's nothing else I can see
People by the wayside
As far as the eye can see
Enemies are everywhere
And the boy inside is still scared
But I'm a man now
Enemies, everywhere
And the boy inside is still scared
Enemies, everywhere
