My Friend

The pain you are in
Is not here to stay
For you’ve already sinned
So just burn it away
My friend
So stay open to living
And stay open to love
Don’t be bound by misgivings
Or by those you’re above
My friend
My friend
Sowing’s harder than reaping
Learning’s harder to do
If it’s not what you’re after
Say you’re just passing through
My friend
My friend
My friend

Purgatory
03:50
|
|||
|
You look so good
When you’re dancing ‘round the issue
When you sing the praise
Of those you involved
You look so fine
When you’re swallowing the feeling
When you’re chewing on a thought
In the hall
But are you hit,
By consequence of your inaction
Are you bruising up
With each silent blow
But float the point
That maybe no one’s here to save you
Will you buy the fact
You’re all on your own
Don’t let me down easily
Purgatory’s harder than the fall
Or pick me up hastily
I can’t wait too much longer for it all
Don’t leave the door open
Or leave the light on
Just speak your unspoken
It won’t do me wrong
You are a gift
To all, who feed on anger
They are present and
accounted for
And from your hands
They will feed until they’re bloated
Proselytes who’ll
Knock down your door
But just inside
Is a chemical reaction
And the fumes ignite
When your whistle blows
“Oh this is fine”
You say, as fire burns around you
How much longer till
Your house explodes
Don’t let me down easily
Purgatory’s harder than the fall
Or pick me up hastily
I can’t wait too much longer for it all
Don’t leave the door open
Or leave the light on
Just speak your unspoken
It won’t do me wrong
Don’t let me down easily
Purgatory’s harder than the fall
Or pick me up hastily
I can’t wait too much longer for it all

Move Your Head
03:55
|
|||
|
Move your head so I can see
The bigger man’s so hard to be
Move your hand and make a change
Till all you feel is something strange
And the one who looks back
Yes the one who looks back
Is the one who knows you
Is the one who knows you
Make your peace it’s for your health
It’s the best gift you can give yourself
Say your piece and make a change
And hope their minds will rearrange
And the one who looks back
Yes the one who looks back
Is the one who knows you
Is the one who knows you

Don't Look Too Far
04:59
|

|
Don’t look too far
Cause you’re all I can see
Stay where you are
Cause I can’t watch you leave
There’s something in the air
That makes it hard to breath
Whyyy are we here all day
Oh you’ve got the hold on me
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar
Don’t look too far
Cause you’re all I can see
Stay where you are
Cause I can’t watch you leave
There’s something in the air
That makes it hard to breath
Whyyy are we here all day
Oh you’ve got the hold on me
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, whoaaa
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, I can’t live without you come on
No sugar, whoaaa

More Than Friends
04:29

Forbidden fruit is much too sweet
But have you had enough to eat?
Cut yourself off a little bit
And make a meal out of it
But I think I know what’s happening here
If it wasn’t already clear
What is this means, but to an end?
I think I wanna be
I think I wanna be
More than friends
These words don’t feel much like my own
Like some sick game of telephone
Though I might have too much to say
I’ll speak my mind out anyway
But I think I know what’s happening here
If it wasn’t already clear
What is this means, but to an end?
I think I wanna be
I think I wanna be
More than friends

Slipping

No I can’t sleep next to you babe
The side of my bed always feels to small
And I can’t keep texting you babe
It feels like you’re living right down the hall
But the way you move
It feels like I’m drinking all day
And at night
I can’t find the words to say
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feeling like I’m slipping
And what the hell? It’s August
Oh you wake me up like the sun
Burnin’ a hole straight through my head
And I have to walk when you run
I gotta slow down now or I’ll end up dead
But when you treat me right
I forget about the things you say
And when you hold me tight
I just hang on and pray
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feelin’ like I’m
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping
Slipping on ice
You got me feeling like I’m slipping
And what the hell? It’s August

You make me wanna be stupid ooh
You make me wanna be stupid ooh
You make me wanna be stupid ooh
Can’t get my head straight when I’m with you
Can’t get my head straight when I’m with you
You make me wanna say stupid things
You make me wanna say stupid things
You make me wanna say stupid things
No I can’t talk right when I’m with you
No I can’t talk right when I’m with you
You make me wanna do stupid things
You make me wanna do stupid things
You make me wanna do stupid things
I guess it’s better I live without you
I guess it’s better I live without you
I guess it’s better I live without you
I guess it’s better I live without you

I want you to hurt
With me
No Matter Who
Is Loving You
I’ll let you into my house
You’ll stop and stare
The words come out of my mouth
And keep us there
They keep us there
I want you to hurt
With me
No Matter Who
Is Loving You
Your words they float through my house
I’ll gasp for air
You breathe them into my mouth
And hold me there
You hold me there
But why can’t you hurt?
With me
No matter who
Is loving you
Oh your hurt is safe
With me
I’ll keep loving you
Like I always do
Oh I’ll keep loving you
Like I always do
Yeah I’ll keep loving you
Like I always do

Take Your Sorry Ass Home
03:51
|

You can take your sorry ass home
You can take your sorry ass home
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
Yeah you can take your sorry ass home
And if you think apologizing absolves you of your sins
Yeah
Well maybe you are too strung out
And if you think that just by knocking I will let you in
No
You’re someone I can live without
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
You can take your sorry ass home
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
Yeah you can take your sorry ass home
And though you say the cost of living is far too much to bear
Oh
What you are given you burn down
You always seem so caught up in what is or isn’t fair
No
Can’t even stop to look around
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
You can take your sorry ass home
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
Yeah you can take your sorry ass home
You think I’ll stand here and take it baby
Won’t leave you out in the cold
Oh but the way you’re treating me, oh treating me
You know it’s getting so old
You can take your sorry ass home
You can take your sorry ass home
Oh baby yeah
You can take your sorry ass home
Yeah you can take your sorry ass home

Bailing From Heart
04:50
|

|
You probably think this song is about you
And you’re probably right
But you’ve got nothing to fear for
I’m not here to pick a fight
In the autumn we tried the first time
But about half way up the wall
It was not the height that scared you
But the length of the fall
Now
You’re bailing from heart
You’re bailing from heart
It was in the depth of winter
That the gap that we had found
Was one that I would have to solo
And you would have to turn around
But there is something you should know dear
Held up just by one hand or two
While you’re no longer with me
I’m only here because of you
You’re bailing from heart
You’re bailing from heart
And I just want to thank you
For opening your heart
For without the love you showed me
I could not have come this far
Belay on belay on
Belay on belay on
Belay on belay on
Climb away

Note To Self
04:59
|
|||
|
I’m trying not to lose the line of sight
I nearly thought that I had
But everyday is slipping out of view
no matter how I turn my head
All these things are spinning and
I’m starting to get dizzy
Not to mention got the candle burning
at both ends
Mama didn’t raise a juggler, oh no
Just a freak in a tent
It’s feeling like I’m barely holding on
To the visions that I saw
They leave me like an ocean
getting sucked out of my mind through a straw
I’m reaching out to grab em
but I just can’t seem to fathom
The permanence of all the damage that I’ve done
Mama didn’t raise a star boy, oh no
Just a fool of a sun
The other day I realized that
I don’t think sleep ever came easily
It’s my imagination that just
Keeps on disquieting my body
But maybe there’s a way
To break through these reservations
With some medical assistance or a
Cup of tea
Mama didn’t raise a drinker, oh no
But maybe I ought to be
Cause we’re gluttons for punishment addicts and freaks who want nothing more
Than to find the next thing to withdraw from, to love and to lose
But you’ve got a feeling tonight
That you might just give up your fight
But I ask you to know, that you’re not the only one here
My dear,
My dear.
Finally it’s clear the point of reference I imagined in my head
At 27 years you’d think I’d almost have it
Yeah that’s what they said
But just the other morning I could see that
It was crazy and that all this time I’d thought about this game all wrong
Mama surely raised a dancer, oh yeah
So I’m moving on
Mama surely raised a dancer, oh yeah
So I’m moving on
