My mind’s on shuffle lately
I wrote the words all in reverse
How do I put this lightly?
You look pretty when you hurt
And if there was no consequence
The things I’d do
Veo a la fisheye lens
In a dream safe from view
Thanks for trying
I had fun tonight
No, it was really nothing
Or maybe that was a lie
Head held underwater
What have I got but wasted years?
My what a lovely daughter
I love how she spits out all her fears
These words are for building bridges
Not for sanding down to the bone
If witches are only legends
Then why aren’t you alone?
Keep everyone away from me
Keep everyone away from me
Keep everyone away from me
Because it’s getting to the point
I can’t control what I say
And I can’t sleep
Crowded in by empty space
The empty threats of my enemy
Keep everyone away from me x4

No Here From Now

The goth grows up and gets out of town
Miss Teenage Pregnancy tries on her gown
The streaks of paint arranged on the wall
All our anthems, they meant nothing at all
Oh, oh, oh x2
The calmest thing that I ever did see,
a plastic bag float down the street
What a life, to follow the wind
Only care for your own scattered convenience
Oh, oh, oh x2
No here from now!
Oh, oh, oh x2
Teacher, teacher can I ask you a question?
Where are the answers for the why (Y) generation?
Oh, oh, oh x2
No here from now!
I want to get away
From what it all means
Find the lies
In the gold paved streets
And it scares me
That people change so easily
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me where you’ve been
This whole time
I’ve found a new girl
We have an understanding
She’ll be headed west
And I’ll be stranded

Where did you find God?
I have something to tell him
There’s more to this life
Than hell and heaven
Good city, good people
Please adore me
I want to win your hearts
And I need the money
I watched my empire decline
I watched my empire fall
I lost all that was mine
And I laughed through it all
I owned an asphalt dominion
Where the heat burns up the mind
I don’t care for opinions
The idea lives or it dies
I destroyed the world
I destroyed the world, with one single word
I destroyed the world, with a single world
I built an army of sand
The water washed it away
Where the ocean meets the land
But I will conquer the waves
If God can hear me
I want to thank him
For all he hath given
And all he hath taken
I controlled the world
I controlled the world, with a single word
I controlled the world, with a single word

Black Sheep

Someone whispers down the hall
I guess it’d matter if I cared at all
And I don’t
(With ears pressed up, up against the wall)
I shouldn’t have done it
That’s what they all said
I found you here in her place instead
I can’t say that I do not disagree
Black Sheep, she’s lying on the ground
Black Sheep, she wants to know how
But she has things that I don’t need
Black Sheep, she’s lying on the ground
As she wipes the blood from her brow
And she wants answers I don’t have
Staring at me, she’s not mad
She’s just a little angry
She’s like this about most everything
Blaming me like it’s my fault
Over shoulders, grains of salt
I can forgive, but I can’t forget
(Chorus)
Let’s have a good time, let’s find someone
Let’s have a good time, let’s jump the gun
Let’s have a good time, there’s no need for sleep
Let’s have a good time x3
There’s no need to speak
Someone whispers down the hall
I guess it’d matter if I cared at all
When she’s out there all by herself
Staring at me, the people are gone
And it’s an empty street
All I can say is…
Glad I could help

Tomboy

There’s a place I’ve come to know
But memories fade with time
Melodies that comfort me
Slowly pass behind
As I go, to greet the morning
Tomboy, there’s nothing to recognize in me
But idle idolatry
Tomboy, go and play with the girls
Dress until you’re beautiful and whole
Then come to me, as nothing
It rises from the earth, it rises from the earth
Save me
Because I’m inches from the ground; I’m inches from the ground
Look to the only Lovebird
(repeat)
There’s a face I’ve come to know
But friendships will run their course
Sing to me, through your teeth
Just sing until the singing hurts
And we’ll go; yes we’ll go, as guilty
It rises from the earth, it rises from the earth
Save me
Because I’m inches from the ground; I’m inches from the ground
Look to the only Lovebird
Tomboy, there’s nothing to recognize in me
But idle idolatry
Tomboy, go and play with the girls
Dress until you’re beautiful and whole
Then come to me, as nothing
It rises from the earth, it rises from the earth
Save me
Because I’m inches from the ground; I’m inches from the ground!
Look to the only Lovebird, Tomboy
