Roller Coaster Ride
02:22

I was on a roller coaster ride with you
When I noticed you were looking for
Another thrill to set aside
Seemed like I was just an easy thing to do
than be alone and bored
but you should know you stabbed me deep inside
I don't appreciate your lies, nor do I sympathize
when hiding truth with lust became your game
I was spinning up and down and falling deep
While your lips distracted me
Your eyes were searching for another ride
Though I freely gave my heart for you to keep
Guess I should have locked it up
This roller coaster's left me all untied
I don't appreciate your lies, nor do I sympathize
when hiding truth with lust became your game

Of Poetry
03:02
|
|||
|
It started out unshapen clay
The night divided from the day
And you chose what side that you'd fight on
And every word you spoke with fire
Always aiming to inspire
Not content to move like any pawn
Though others try to just be
Your soul ignites to set you free
Cuz You live a life of poetry
Some battle for their accolades
Throwing opinions like grenades
They don't care about who's gonna bleed
You pick the pieces up and try
to rebuild and fortify
Just to prove that love is all you need
Though others try to just be
Your soul ignites to set you free
Cuz You live a life of poetry
And when this empty canvas world is numb and gray
You'll paint a melody that brightens up my day
It takes more than a single spark to push away the numbing dark
But enough to start the world aflame
As inspiration moves you on, toward a vacant paragon
Set a path, then go and stake your claim
Though others try to just be
Your soul ignites to set you free
Cuz You live a life of poetry

Evolves

There's words I'd like to tell you
And songs I’d like to sing for you
A simple view of my thoughts
Just like this one
I'll take a single red rose
And lay it sleeping on your bed
So you will understand me
And how I'm feeling
Then you'll say you like me
Then you'll say you want me
Then you'll say you need me
Til this evolves to love
Late I'll be at your window
And serenade you off to sleep
Then we can use our dreams for
Building memories
Then you'll say you like me
Then you'll say you want me
Then you'll say you need me
Til this evolves to love
Three gentle words I'll sing you,
To leave your broken thoughts behind
Forget the past together
As we move forward
Then you'll say you like me
Then you'll say you want me
Then you'll say you need me
Til this evolves to love

Her
02:34
|
|||

She walks my way, and colors my gray,
While moving hazy shadows, from blocking my horizons
Shows me the moon, then pulls me in tune
And now my head is spinning, her voice is tranquilizing
I never tried to look around, disjointed and obscure
Cared only for my shallow world, but now I care for her
Breaking it down, she turns me round
And life is so inviting when I can see through her eyes
Open my mind, helping me find
A vibrant color palette to paint a brighter sunrise
I never tried to look around, disjointed and obscure
Cared only for my faded world, but now I care for her
I can't recall feeling so tall
And now I'm floating over the movements synchronizin'
She walks my way and colors my gray
While moving hazy shadows, from blocking my horizons.

Push Me Down
03:14

All your ugly lies and 'pretty please'
You still can't take it back with apologies
Don't try to shut me off then turn me on
Cuz you will not erase the lines you've drawn
No need to try to start new fights
I'm here to read you your last rites
It's much too late cuz you can't spin it round
Stop trying to build me up, when all you've ever done is push me down
There was once a time I could believe
that love like ours could last and never leave
But then I saw the truth behind your lies
And now it's time that we said our goodbyes
No need to try to start new fights
I'm here to read you your last rites
It's much too late cuz you can't spin it round
Stop trying to build me up, when all you've ever done is push me down
All your ugly lies and 'pretty please'
You still can't take it back with apologies
Don't try to shut me off then turn me on
Cuz you will not erase the lines you've drawn
No need to try to start new fights
I'm here to read you your last rites
It's much too late cuz you can't spin it round
Stop trying to build me up, when all you've ever done is push me down

The Noble Cause
03:30
|
|||
|
The splash from his car
The ring of your phone
I've lost you again
Now you’re heading home
But not the same routes
That we’ve walked before
I’m traveling alone
You’re earning rapport
And every day since you’ve started to play
The strategies move and the traps fall away
I’ve seen every mask and respected each line
And simply adore each surmount you design
I’d never blame you for this or consider you cruel
I admire your brilliance, and give applause
Like the queen ordering pawns into self-sacrifice
So the rook can advance in the game, It’s all for the noble cause
I’m back in our room
Collecting my spoils
And recounting all
The enemy’s toils
And though it’s 4:10
I doubt you will come
You probably think now
That playing is dumb
Cuz gaining new friends has forced you to change
And publicly hide that you ever had brains
But the true genius lies in the charade
As you’re commandeering floats in this parade
I’d never blame you for this or consider you cruel
I admire your brilliance, and give applause
Like the queen ordering pawns into self-sacrifice
So the rook can advance in the game, It’s all for the noble cause
The night of the prom
You’re in a new dress
You’ve certainly won
With the way you impress
I see you’ve moved up
The boy on your arm
Believes you’re the real prize
Not a trinket or charm
And the small games that we played in our club
Are rolling in large scale with a soundtrack redub
You’ve set into motion every phony brigade
And now you have checkmate from the pawns you have played
I’d never blame you for this or consider you cruel
I admire your brilliance, and give applause
Like the queen ordering pawns into self-sacrifice
So the rook can advance in the game, It’s all for the noble cause

The Universe and I
02:19
|
|||
|
When I found out that the world didn't want me
And I'd have to fight on my own
Who knew moving forward would be such a problem?
Surrounded yet all alone
Whenever I do right, it seems that fate still gets it wrong
The Universe and I don't get along
Taking it back to a simpler beginning
So I can rebuild from the start
Trying to undo every word that I've given
Will never mend broken hearts
Whenever I do right, it seems that fate still gets it wrong
The Universe and I don't get along
Adding it up shouldn't equal a lost cause
When actions are not quite mistakes
Struggling to choose a list of bad options
And still the fragile life breaks
Whenever I do right, it seems that fate still gets it wrong
The Universe and I don't get along

No Perfect Way
02:20

Riding 'round in your Converse sneakers
Through an empty morning cul de sac
Switching gears keeps your left hand steady
Trying to let the cool air clear your mind, instead it pushes your memories back
So where you going?
You think you've swung and missed
But there's no perfect way
To navigate this
Swimming in a sea of stupid
Trying hard to never blend in
You can tell that you don't belong here
But still there doesn't seem to be a better place for you to try and swim
So where you going?
You think you've swung and missed
But there's no perfect way
To navigate this
You don't need to scream to make a sound
And you won't feel tied up as you're running around
Saturday the kids are outside
Trying to escape the tyranny
There's a cost but the price tag's missing
Deep down you know you'd like to join but there's another place to be
So where you going?
You think you've swung and missed
But there's no perfect way
To navigate this

Stumbling
02:30
|
|||
|
I don't believe you understand
To be together was never planned
I've lost control. You've lost your mind
Why is escape from you so hard to find?
It seems to me I can't win
You got me wound up, stumbling
You pull me left then push me right
I'm waking up in the middle of the night
I try to run. You hold me back
Can't figure out a good counterattack
It seems to me I can't win
You got me wound up, stumbling
I'm tired of feeling so confused
Discarded and abused
Where should I begin?
I'm stumbling
I don't believe the words you say
They contradict your actions everyway
You play the part like you're a friend
But now this cruel charade has got to end
It seems to me I can't win
You got me wound up, stumbling

Lullaby
02:33
|
|||
|
You don't recall sending that message to me
And through it all there is residue that I see
I'll sing a lullaby to pass the time away
But still I wonder why you look at me this way
Stepping outside only to stare at the rain
Wanting to hide but longing to soak in your pain
I'll whisper quietly the words inside your head
And hum a melody to ease myself instead
I'll sing a lullaby to pass the time away
But still I wonder why you look at me this way
24 pounds of paper I can choose of its fate
Maybe a plane or have it hold what I contemplate

Till It's Over
03:22
|
|||
|
I've missed you, since you've gone
My heart breaks, I can't go on.
Still I try to hide
Every way I know to feel inside
But this feeling cannot be denied
Till it's over
The darkness in this room
Feels heavy like a tomb
It is hard to breathe
And I struggle not to pack and leave
But I have to hold my ground and grieve
Till it's over. Till It's over.
Writing every letter to you
Hoping inspiration comes
Still it's getting hard to live without you
Knowing there will be a day when
I can have you here with me
I'll pretend my bravery is true
Now this verse goes to Jane
Your absence causes pain
Still I know that I
Don't want to let you see your daddy cry
So I'll smile and say I'm getting by
Till it's over. Please be over.
Writing every letter to you
Hoping inspiration comes
Still it's getting hard to live without you
Knowing there will be a day when
I can have you here with me
I'll pretend my bravery is true
I've missed you, since you've gone
My heart breaks, I can't go on.
Still I try to hide
Every way I know to feel inside
But this feeling cannot be denied
Till it's over. Till it's over

Fuzz Off
02:23
|

|
Take a number
Go sit down and wait your turn
It's only living
Pacifistic fires burn
Opposition is something we can all dissolve if we want
Recondition - the conversation weapons are an affront
Numb civilians
Causing civil woke unrest
Push a bullet
Through the unprotected chest
Opposition is something we can all dissolve if we want
Recondition - the conversation weapons are an affront
We tried to reason
Listen to our grievance song
You hear aggression
And take our simple message wrong
You take my simple message wrong

Raining In My Head
02:40
|
|||
|
Images come dripping from my pen
They vocalize as something new
I'd like to tell you what I mean
But words might end up hurting you
As so I'll sing about the things
That mean the least to me in life
So how's the weather down in Galt?
Well it's Raining in my head
In the evening there's teardrops on my bed
As I try to forget the things you said
But I know that I can't
Oh no, I can't
Sitting on a bed that isn't mine
Inside a temporary home
I know I could be leaving soon
To find another life to live
With all the simple things I've found
I really want to be alone
And now I only feel confused
Well it's Raining in my head
In the evening there's teardrops on my bed
As I try to forget the things you said
But I know that I can't
Oh no, I can't
Somewhere west of here there is a girl
Who I still want to be my friend
But I don't think that she would care
No matter what I tried to give
And so I'll wander 'bout the sky
With life and storybooks and love
I'd like to draw inside her mind
Well it's Raining in my head
In the evening there's teardrops on my bed
As I try to forget the things you said
But I know that I can't
Oh no, I can't
Can't you see that it's Raining in my head
In the evening there's teardrops on my bed
As I try to forget the things you said
But I know that I can't
Oh no, I can't

music for any 'everyday' occasion.
Did you fall in love in second period, but then fall back out of love by lunchtime? He's got you covered.
Metaphorically, anyway. Your clothes probably have you covered literally.
