That Song

So I always get nostalgic with that song
But in my room it's forced
It has to be in some car across the street
And I always catch the back of your head in a crowd
Just don't turn around
It's never you and you ruin those memories
And those photos are great if I catch 'em with the side of my eye
But if I stare it just turns into you and me
We're just standing there
And now it's over
Would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
And when you go there
Would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
So I always fool my friends and we head down there
You think that we are rude
We just drove past your old house and you weren't there
And I'm always great when I'm hanging with your buds and they lie
They think that I'm just fine
It's always been that way
Just a "Pocketbook Brando"
And when you hold him
Would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
You love my whisper
But did you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
So you crank that song
And it might sound doom
So just leave the room
While I sit and stare
'Cause this is rare
I really love that tune
Man, I love that song
I really love that song
I love that song
So when you go there
Would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
And when you hate it
Would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs
So you crank that song
And it might sound doom
So just leave the room
While I sit and stare
'Cause yeah, that's rare
I really love that tune
Man, I love that song
I love that song

Look What I Found

It's fully operational
We don't even have to sell
I rooked it but what the hell
It's someone else's soul, oh well
It's stolen, but it's OK
If integrity says no way
Well, now it's here to stay
So let's go outside and play
Well, I suppose so
Well, I never did really want to know
How can you walk around
With your feet up off the ground
How can you steal their sound
Keep your ears below the ground
Take a look around
Look what I found
No one will ever notice
That all your shit is bogus
And never go for the fear
That someone like me might hear
This schtick is getting thinner
But you'll come out a winner
Check's already in the bank
You've forgotten who to thank
And weak is what you bring
And what I need is the real thing
How can you walk around
With your feet up off the ground
How can you steal their sound
Keep your ears below the ground
Take a look around
Look what I found
Well, I suppose so
Wonder will we ever know

Blown Wide Open

So all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
And I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
And there's a pile in the closet
That's where I threw some yesterday
Maybe under the rug
That's where I swept some the other day
So the mess is drawing forces
Outside I hear them say
Just come out with your hands up
So we can blow you away
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I'd put away
And I wasn't even warned
Just blown wide open
Now the mess is where I lay
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
And if I'm a slob
Well, I never looked at it that way
Irresponsible
Well, you're not the first to say
But I told her I'm sorry
I never wanted it this way
Yeah, I still need her
But the mess won't go away
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I'd put away
And I'm out on the porch
Just blown wide open
By the mess is where I lay
Yeah, blown wide open
Blown wide open
The gun's still smoking
Blood keeps flowing
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
Why's she going?
All surrounded

How Would You Know

I want ya in the wrong way
What's tomorrow if you've got today
And if you subscribe to my way
You erase all this anyway
Out in the mountains and granola
Ah, there's a little man lease-to-own ya
Hold out your hands
Oh, such little hands
Well, lie to your man
Stay wise to the plan
So driving makes no sense
'Cause I don't even have a license
We could walk and get as far
It just might take a little bit longer
And is your dealer on the corner
Hold out your hands
Stay wise to the plan
If what ya got is what ya need
hell, then I don't wanna hear the rest
And if you ever had a thing to sell
Then you know what ya got
Why would you care
If it's everywhere
Don't leave me here
I'm always alone
But how would you know
I fall down the shaft
Nothing to grab on to pull me up
Just like long ago
But how would you know
How would you know
So ya need me for the wrong things
Now you've got yourself a bird that sings
And ya left me for your owner
Out in the mountains and granola
Hold out your hands
Oh, such little hands
If what ya got is what ya need
hell, then I don't wanna hear the rest
And if you ever had a thing to sell
Then get rid of the lie
If what ya got is what ya need
hell, then I don't wanna hear the rest
And everybody's got a thing to sell
Don't need what ya got

  Oh My

You say I'm obssessive
I don't wanna hear
Overly possessive
Who, when and where
When your arms go 'round another
I'll turn my back
Why bother
The importance of what I mean to you
I'll drown all the rodents
That chase after you
And I've made my mistakes
I know it
I need a chance
To blow it
Oh my
Who's stolen my ride
Am I getting greedy
For what's already mine
I need all the rations
I won't stand in line
And I'll scale the wall
Only if you feed the rope
But I'll slip and fall
Oh my
Who'll ever believe in why
Oh my
I will rest tonight
You say I'm obssessive
I don't wanna hear
Overly possessive

Under The Lighthouse

Down here under the lighthouse
Upstairs, I see for miles
Keep my name under the white out
Just let me miss you all the while
Now, I sit here with your letter
It's pushing hard on my brain
You think they should shrink it
Well baby, I think that's insane
No, you would've left me anyway
And I just bow my head
I swear you might've left me anyway
So I'll leave you instead
When I told you that I'm sorry
Ya told me that I'm full of fear
When the music is just too loud
Well, it's not your voice I hear
Well, you would've left me anyway
So I just bow my head
I swear you might've left me anyway
So I'll leave you instead
Be alone
Let me bow my head
'Cause I'd rather be alone
Be alone

  Fall Through The Cracks

So I won't hear
Unless you tell me to
And I won't see
Unless I look for you
'Cause my opinions
They don't mean that much to me
So if they're clashing
I'll trash 'em happily
Let me fall through your cracks again
'Cause you only notice now and then
'Cause I've made this mistake before
I was only coming back for more
So close your door
I'm back for more
So don't be fooled
By what you see
'Cause I fully realize
What was happening to me
Apologies
Well, I don't know what else to say
It was never meant to be
But I had fun anyway
Let me fall through your cracks again
'Cause you only notice now and then
Well, I've made this mistake before
I was only coming back for more
So close your door
I'm back for more
Let me fall through your cracks again
'Cause you only notice now and then
See, I've made this mistake before
I was only coming back for more
So close your door
I'm back for more

  Waste

So I knew you were faking
About your dreams
'Cause when you're waking
Everything's what it seems
I know you got roses
You wanta throw on my grave
But all the time you
You can't seem to sleep
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reaching
Words and excuses lame
While it's time for leaving
So mama don't hit the fruit jar
I'd rather see ya hit me
Just 'cause you go too far
And I'll lose what's real
You'll turn out fine babe
Like father like son
I was wasted at the forkroads
I'm too old to run
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reaching
Words and excuses lame
While it's time for bleeding
So if it's pity I need
Or retraction I bleed
'Cause I never
Asked for nothing
So mama don't hit the fruit jar
I'd rather see ya hit me
Just cause you go too far
And I'll lose what's real
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reaching
Words and excuses lame
While it's time for bleeding

By The Way

One two three four
So you would be my one bad thing
Never when you tried
I let the fire burn out again
And then inside
So let my tears be realized
Before my eyes are turned
And every lie I've tried before
Won't work no more, I've learned
Drowning or bathing
I've found out what you meant, by the way
Knowledge unexpectedly
That you and me could be
Quiet the voices in my head
Warm my bed tonight
So you could be the one again
Never when you tried
Drowning, bathing
I've found out what you meant, by the way

Between You And I

So now she's on her way
Home from work, alone for dinner
You close the door to the microwave
Underneath that phone that just won't ring
Sitting on the bus
Stare a hole right through the floor
Listening to the squeaky door
Open and close at a stop that's never mine
They say if It's well enough
Just leave it alone and they would never think to call your bluff
The lie believed 'till you're standing all exposed
Oh you confide
And all those fools will fly
Between you and I
Between you and I
I've seen that look before
On someone else
Years ago and it's come around again
Excuse me while I place a blame on you
The game has conned you now
And It never was your fault
The wind just seemed to carry this spit your way
My time is spent
So all those years can blend
Between you and I
Why'd you confide
Now all your friends can slide
Between you and I
The effort to forget
Nature's moving far too slow
The effort to forget
I still recall the effort to forget

  Prayer

Fair well old friend
A season ends
And your conscience lends all your lies a hand
'Cause you're a star
And you'll go far
You stand in the flame just to make a name
You glance at the ceiling
Buy another round
Lonely but for feeling
I can hang around
The clock on the wall
It takes time to fall
And so fall I'll do
If only for you
The chance to run
Has left me spun
Right around the core
Of what I need you for
It's a disaster
And after all, I need you to remind myself
That it's my fault, it's not my fault
I can hear the pain
Well, pause no more
And I've never prayed before
Never prayed before
You glance at the ceiling
Buy another round
Lonely but for feeling
That I can hang around
I can hang around

  Overemphasizing

Once was a man
Our age
He's all for himself
On stage
It turns a page
All through this time
He'd outgrown
'Cause he'll go through life alone
Don't answer the phone
Overemphasizing
The time we spent
On stuff that you left
Overemphasizing
All the looks you gave
That i forgot to save
Not long ago we moved
Still much was left to prove
I was removed
Overemphasizing
The love we made
That i forgot to save
Overemphasizing
All the looks you gave
That i forgot to save
Once was a man
Our age
He's all for himself
Onstage
