Her Name
03:43

i can never shake
the feeling that you betrayed
someone else may
have suffered the hidden shame
but you say
her name
when we are laid
miss her
you never really kissed her
the same way
i can never tell
if your eyes are lying to me
i may be caged
but the truth will set me free
then you say
her name
under the blade
miss her
you never really kissed her
the same way
will you believe if i
ever told you something that burns
upon touching your ears
upon touching your very soul
if i say
her name
when we are made
miss her
you never really kissed her
the same way
if i say
her name
when we are made
miss her
you never really kissed her
the same way

i keep loose threads
from your green dress
now that you're gone
away from here
rode behind my father
while you
have disappeared
black cars in line ups
like a parade into
the stormy seas
sun shines bright
rain falls like
a marriage in the mist
coffin lowered, tears falling
and drowning me
sweet, false, melancholic whispers
distant memories
can barely remember your face
mother like a mystery

Cavalry
03:11
|
|||
|
streets are crawling with hypocrites
creeps are falling with lies to tell
no guts no glory
no shame no story
shoot em up like the cavalry
no guts no glory
no shame no story
gotta face up to your enemy
my desire leaves the option open
to yourself but you don't move a muscle
you don't bat an eyelid
you don't move an inch
my skin is sensing
your touch is nearing
but you don't answer my calling
you're locked in your room
you're locked and you're dying
no guts no glory
no shame no story
gotta face up to your enemy
no guts no glory
no shame no story
shoot em right up inside of me

Good To Know
04:56

good to know where i stand with you
where you're taking this whole thing
good to know why i'm feeling like
i'm heading nowhere
good to know that i'm wasting my precious time
so you say this is a final warning
so you say i'm out of second chances
so you say it's over after another shitty thing i do
good to know that i'm worthless when i make mistakes
good to know i need to plan my exit while i'm still here
good to know i'm knee deep in poker faces
good to know you're just like everybody else i know in this hellhole
so you say this is a final warning
so you say i'm out of second chances
so you say it's over after another shitty thing i do
so you say this is a final warning
so you say i'm out of second chances
so you say it's over after another shitty thing i do

I Don't Say Goodbye
04:17
|
|||
|
i know we're in the same boat
and it's sinking
but i need someone to hate
i know you're just being yourself
you're not thinking
but i want to claw at your face
i don't say goodbye to you
because i don't wish you well
i don't say hello to you
because i don't want you to stay
i know we're in the same sky
and we're falling
but i want you to go down in flames
i know we have the same fate
and we're dying
but i want you to die first
i don't say goodbye to you
because i don't wish you well
i don't say hello to you
because i don't want you to stay

God and Demon
04:24
|
|||
|
went home alone again
still inside the bubble of
the lonely regiment
i imposed on myself forever
i took it as a sign when no one
would ask me out
that i deserved just hatred
and self doubt
just hatred
and self doubt
i can't understand
i don't believe in a god
who will want for me to shout
inside my mind
my brain exists to underscore
every pain i feel
tormented like a demon in my bed
like a demon in my head
going back to work again
not knowing why i'm bothering
to make money, what for am i living
what for am i saving
what life is waiting on the other side of struggling
to keep afloat
to keep abreast
with the new ways to make myself such a better, so much better, such a better individual
i can't understand
i don't believe in a god
who will want for me to shout
inside my mind
my brain exists to underscore
every pain i feel
tormented like a demon in my bed
like a demon in my head

Cute Little Pandas
02:52
|
|||
|
dust on the surface of my book shelves
pages with letters fading from the edges
memorized this passage a long time ago
before i felt like a fool for staying
the same for you
the same for you
i line up the saucers with my middle fingers
i dim the lights until only a hint of hope remains
i breathe into the darkness of the corners
the room seems larger with more shadows
just keep repeating to yourself we're all here as punishment
you can try to escape but you'll just get dragged back and get extra time
write a song about cute little pandas learning to walk

the schedule for this week
was posted early thursday
it says i work during christmas eve
there must have been a mistake
so i'm planning a fool proof excuse
a sick leave for christmas morning
i don't wanna be here anymore
i know i'd rather be
spending christmas alone
in my room, watching television
the holiday episode
it's politically correct, no more baby jesus
to connect
with other religions
like the jewish
they don't even have christmas
so i order from jollibee
regular yums and spaghetti
they don't even have chicken

Starry Eyes
02:25
|
|||
|
i was born thinking that
there's a sound of silence
i was born knowing that
things stay the same
if you really wanted them
to remain hidden
i was sworn to secrecy
about this thing we have
starry eyes
starry eyes
starry eyes
starry eyes
i was born wondering
if you were born this way
if you see the same damn thing
happening to you
if you can understand
if you can believe
all the lies
all the lies
starry eyes
starry eyes
you keep starry eyes

Side of The Bed
03:33
|
|||
|
inside my head
you're on the wrong side of the bed
you should roll over instead
to my half, facing the window
the moon in the sky
the smoke from the cigarettes
being choked
by the mouths of the youth
that we used to resemble
you never left
that's what you say
as defense
for your lazy ways, your beating heart
your frozen face, your beating heart
and i am left speechless
tucking my tongue under my cheek
and i am left speechless
and i am left loveless
in here, in my side of the bed
it burns without you
in my head
it sinks me deeper in the crevices
light years in distance
separate
and i am left
and i am left speechless
tucking my tongue under my cheek
and i am left speechless
and i am left loveless
in here, in my side of the bed

you sent a message
it said LOL
LOL
i thought you told me
lots of love but you meant
laugh out loud
laugh out loud
last time you broke my heart
last time you tore it apart
before you even know it
you sent a message
it said LOL
LOL
i thought you told me
lots of love but you meant
last time you broke my heart
last time you tore it apart
last time you broke my heart
last time you tore it apart
inadvertently
accidentally
