the time was ten o’clock
talking to a woman in a parking lot
the conversation didn’t get very far
she said she’d been touched by the hand of God
shruggin my shoulders, I remember thinking “I’d rather not…”
It’s crazy to think, that I could write someone off without a thought.
so here I stand with my tail between my legs
burnin through all these thoughts as I think of my mistakes
plenty of reasons to be scared, but I ‘aint afraid…
the entire drive home my thoughts were fogged
that maybe, if I spoke, I could receive a response
what a shallow concept, oh, what a regal idea.
that maybe the Teacher would teach me a lesson, if I were to appear
so here I stand with my tail between my legs
burnin through all these thoughts as I think of my mistakes
plenty of reasons to be scared, but I ‘aint afraid…
there you go, just another mistake.
wrote this last night. recording is less than stellar, but that’s what this project is about. crappy songs.
….i keed, i keed.
the mood for this week. 2 sets of strings later…
Tear me down, wear me out
Blend me into the crowd
All I know is lost,
Never to be found…
Let me go, set me free
Take all that you need,
Then leave me be
Why do you care about me?
I can’t breathe, help me out
Yell at me, scream and shout
Maybe if we get loud,
We’ll be found somehow..
Let me go, set me free
Take all that you need,
Then leave me be
Why do you care about me?
To the nights I couldn’t sleep,
Lying awake, I would dream,
Of better things, of the person you used to be
Of the open sea, where I would kill to be
On a sailboat lost at sea
Searching for my anchor,
At the bottom of this bottle of J.D.
Singin’ “If this is how God built me, then why am I so guilty?”
Tear me down, wear me out,
Let me go, set me free
I can’t breathe.
Why do you care about me?
Kamikaze!
been running since i was fifteen,
holding onto pipe dreams,
brought to you by a tv screen.
humming the melody to “T.V. Family”
while this guitar rests in my hands
Kamikaze! no, don’t stop me
i’m headed face first into a bad idea
heads and tails both agree,
i’ll never get out of here
been feelin’ like all my times been spent,
sittin’ on this park bench
tell me, what have i got left to lose?
I’ll write your name out in the sand,
and watch the waves come wash it away again
whispering, “hello, my friend”
Kamikaze! no, don’t stop me
i’m headed face first into a bad idea
heads and tails both agree,
i’ll never get out of here
Come, sit by the fire
please, just stay awhile
we’ll write out words in the grass…
Kamikaze! no, don’t stop me
i’m headed face first into a bad idea
heads and tails both agree,
i’ll never get out of here
“Demons”
tear me down, wear me out
blend me in, to the crowd
all i know is lost,
never to be found.
let me go, set me free
take all that you need
then leave me be…
what do you care?
why do you care about me?
to the nights i couldn’t sleep
lying awake i would dream
of better things, of the person you used to be
of the open sea, where i would kill to be,
on a sailboat lost at sea.
searching for my anchor,
at the bottom of this bottle of JD.
what do you care?
why do you care about me?
i can’t breathe, help me out
yell at me, scream and shout,
maybe if we get loud
we’ll be found somehow
let me go, set me free
take all that you need
then leave me be…
working on new material. (:
“The Truth”
when i’m alone and i start to question
everything i thought that i knew
i get so lost in my own head
and all of the signs just point to you
you’re the sand in my lungs,
you’re the salt in my wounds.
you’re everything to me,
and i’m nothing to you.
the truth?
You’re the sand in my lungs,
You’re the salt in my wounds,
You’re everything to me,
and I’m nothing to you.
“Rebuilding?”
One day, when the wall we’ve built comes crashin’ down
And the bed full of lies is the only place to lie down
I won’t be there to lay the bricks again
There’s a reason I don’t consider you a friend.
This fantasy we’ve created will shatter like broken glass
What’s left now, but the burnt remains of our past
Only Ashes, to remind me of a song.
You’ve probably never heard it, but I’ve been singin’ it all along.
Rebuilding,
We were the contractors of our own demise
Rebuilding
We’ll sort out this mess in due time
Rebuilding.
The foundations cracking, by hearts been attacking,
my head just says I need to move on.
Kinda choppy, but I like where this is going. (:
