So why don't you just tell me now and stop procrastinating? Can't go this far and turn it down, let's start the celebrating With these two hands I'll make ends meet so you won't have to worry These days are short and nights are long so let's just tell a sto...

My thoughts are my doctor's excuse for medicine But I find it healthy to get lost inside my head And come back with all that I can find And write it down on light blue lines It's far more useful than reading the Contra Costa Times 55 up YV road Encina o...

So this is what I get for trying to be nice Like its the only time I've ever cared These blank walls make me sick Like excuses made up quick I'd move forward if I only could I'd like to thank you for this effort It left me barely breathing on this stretc...

I doubted the way that the space could be filled for so long I was so headstrong that maybe just maybe I was dead wrong Tried to see if I could speak about it And now I don’t know how to live without it right in the dent of my chest Feeding off your mind c...

I'd say this more but I'm feeling troubled today I'm stuck, my mind has been sinking for miles I'm losing touch with my old friend Next time my finger slips I've gotta learn to grip this Till it hurts. This time is taking away from a stable heart A year...

Her heads so big i need some breathing space! And he'd brake his back just to know your safe... Got a confident suspision thats his cell phones in the kitchen It's ringing again, It drives me around the bend. He jumps into her bed again, Forgetting al...

(I'm an evil motherfucker Joe, you know that?) I'm losing sleep over you Sleep until noon Wake up when the sun hits my back in my room Poetically inspired by this steady growing fire It's cuz people like you let me down People like you let me down. 

I think you'll notice when things become different The good vibes in our lives won't feel so consistent And less becomes more cause the weight is too heavy I swim in the water that's breaking your levee The way that you left me is alright, it's alright I...

Say what you need to say for the last time. State all the premises figuring you’ll be just fine. So I’ll get mine you get yours and if we’re both happy it's settled forevermore. Holding the impression of a man when I was still a boy. Said no regrets but it's h...

These chains are heavy, but these hand stay steady Grasping the anxiety of decision But these walls are breaking, times up we're putting Our thoughts into actions so let's take What WHAT we WE Want and apply it to what we have To figure out what we need...

Before you twist your tongue Know there's no chance at all Came here against my will And my wills tested strong Until now, I know we've never met But I don't want to talk and I'm already upset That you'll meet your demise in a drunken man's bed Take another p...

Tell me how your life’s played out down south in the sun Missing school, so you go out every night and try to have fun And you still deny and try to hide the smoke from your gun Think I’ll slip inside and start making you aim at everyone [Chorus:] Why’d...

(Hahaha) I'm getting closer and I don't know what to do My bed's still messed up and my clothes still smell like you We'll go together through this town, we'll walk But recently the only deep thing is your talk I know it hurts to be alone, But all this...

All that I know Is your space is empty It’s buried below The streets and the envy All the places I go It still hasn’t left me I hated it then And now it consumed me I dwell on it nightly Tread swiftly and lightly Make up the lost ground And see wh...

I let the furnace of my anger Heat where you lay It never burned you, it just kept the cold at bay Write it over and over again The same chords the same end How many times did I offend? Is it so hard to think like we used to? It’s nothing I can’t prov...

All my friends have gone away. Sailing vessels leaving the bay. For the best four years and the promise of pay. But they don’t even know what they’re chasing. Greater men have tried and failed. And all this time I thought that I’d stay. As a ghost who would ha...

I still think on you, the place, the time And all the solitude There’s nothing I hate more Than pushing you away with my fucked up attitude I’ve been counting paces Since the last time we touched faces It’s a lot like trading spaces Where I’m the dorman...

Let's talk this over, give it the time of day. Cos when I'm sober I won't hear you (hear you), Won't stay sane. Count the hours, run through my veins Tonight is ours. Time and time again. With friends like these, who needs enemies? Relentless begging,...

There I was talking backwards or might aswel have been All these faces the same old faces some I've known and some I've seen The time has come its worth the wait I need some time to contemplate Questions and answers And these constant disasters I'm no...

Barter and trade always passive aggressive In spite of who you say you are Smother my name under soil & dirt In the earth Widen the distance apart Fuck an apology, I'm not sorry for anything I've been holding back my apathy for far too long You don...

Gone now I keep my distance But still show persistence in trying to find out how you are It’s really testing my patience, watching you waste this Life that you have of yours in a bar And I get the feeling that you’re gonna leave him Cause you just can’t s...

Clear your head, so self-centered Yet you’re very well read Leave your bed, all that oil gonna kill you dead Got my check, lost my center in a deep mud debt I know you’re upset I’ll stop it, I’ll quit My choices let down Some of my closest people But...

We're all we have! We'll walk through this park in December We'll close our eyes and try to remember If this was just all for fun Talk to friends anticipate and hours start to separate when today There's a time to live and a time to die But right no...

Count me out of tradition, I think it's time for a change of style Picking up where we left off, so come on in and stay a while Reasons keep me from the truth, and push me farther away from you Why do you act the way you do, to make a mess to fix with glue...

How can I just break it off, to leave for good and never talk? I’m about to write it out for you to mock. Clear my mind for the thousandth time. I’ve been too involved to call it off. I've been away for so long all I’ve got are weak foundations, wishful...

Everything about you is somebody else You're a product of environment and middle class wealth And sleeping that much won't improve your health Your interest in me is like dust on the shelf Easy to brush off despite your mood Call me a liar I'll show you a fak...

I bet it hurts to read permanence. I used to think on all of this and how you don't. Damn it's hard to find sustenance when all I had was love for this and now you don't. Now I just abuse substances to drown out your accomplishments, however few. All...

You made me different from all I have been It’s only getting harder to keep it out in the open My nights feel longer my lips are stretched thin It’s not getting any better What kind of pain are you having? There’s no more patience, I almost hate this Th...

Hard shove, feel the heavy weight It's the same love that I push away It be the same thing I always debate Why you left me here for another These days I tend to see red 'Cause all the women swimming in my head Are not the same ones laying in my bed But...

Leaning on a bad knee Don’t really wanna be with anyone Can you hear in my key? How can you not see it’s not always fun Wait and score, speed back Lock the door, just pour, I’m getting numb Not enough, gimme more soda Soaking through the floor of 51 M...

It's harder to attract you Used to dye your denim In my parents bathroom I can feel your phantom All of me is dark blue Picture you just dancing Dancing in your old room Damn it's such a bad view Cause it's hard to attract you Got me so dark blue .....

This body's closed until further notice Wandering too close will get you nowhere fast I'm looking for an option that won't involve you at all Some help to hoist my sail off of its mast And its haunting me, but I feel fine War of worlds in real time Bett...

Crushing you inside of my grip again You’re breathing in Pushing this aside till when? Ignoring that pain Felt you creep inside of my head again It all depends on where I am and who I’m there with It’s rough when we’re both square one With so much undo...

I should have told you, when we were younger, Talk quenches thirst but does nothing for hunger And I'm starving, it's been like this for three years now. They tell me take it easy but I don't know how. I've got nothing in common with anything, anymore. I've g...

All I really want is to stay right here right now There’s so much more to talk about The mind you broke and the price that it costs me now Me now Do you see good intent? When you read me, you’re trying to test me You don’t get my mindset You only see t...

Give up and go home. Alone, and suffer some more. This head of stone let’s no one in anymore. My effort is never enough. I’ll start unpacking all of my stuff. Cause I’ve come to know my place. So let’s wreck everything I’ve built except the base. You h...

Tell me, did you practice what you said to me? Was never there when I was supposed to be Is that supposed to be some kind of joke to me? Leave home, tour hard, then we’ll see Change up your face, attempt to erase But you’ll never feel the void in my spac...

I know it's been a while But I will not fake this stupid smile ‘Cause you robbed me, fed me the line Your bounty was me, took all you could see And worked just side by side The trust and love we’d abide Until you left home thrust with the tide And put t...

We walked through Arbo at 2 AM last night For lack of a better idea to pass the time Our eyes were heavy but our hearts felt light We chopped the tree to the ground And broke the silence with sight Cause we saw the sky in a darker shade of blue And we w...

Hard to clench my fist well with all of the things I should tell Tension and an ill will towards you and I It’s not the same as you feel, it used to be a light teal But that shade was never real for you and I [Chorus x2:] Can’t ignore, won’t ignore That...

could it be, that i'm your fantasy? I'm everything you need, I'm everything you breath for. For I'm the prodigal son; my battles already won. It's no surprise I'm not wise to my obvious demise. As a personal favour, would you please sign my picture? On y...
