Words at my Fingertips
03:43

|
I wasn't focused on the task that I never had seen in my thought my god it's a lot, but it's not when it ends so wake up and light up. Let it burn til it stops if you know you will loose.
(Chorus)
I was waiting to explain, or find a way to jump off of this burning plane.
Don't hesitate to call my name.
The words at my fingertips are burning through my tongue and lips,
and Iv'e got to go insane.
I wasn't focused on the job that I wouldn't have tried.
Yeah well maybe I lied to your face, but I'm right so piss of I'm not you. Know no rules and don't throw the first punch if you know you will loose.
(Chorus)
I was waiting to explain, or find a way to jump off of this burning plane.
Don't hesitate to call my name.
The words at my fingertips are burning through my tongue and lips,
and Iv'e got to go insane.
..I was waiting to explain...
I was waiting to explain, or find a way to jump off of this burning plane.
And I know I'll go insane.
The words at my fingertips are burning through my tongue and lips,
and Iv'e got to go insane.

Can't be Killed
03:13
|

|
Drag it out
Dirty Bruise
Turning colors and breaking news
Step in time, a painted world
Cold in sunlight and warm in bed.
A whore to belong, a smile that could kill.
Words spoke softly on a prim rose hill.
breaking my fall, tell me it all.
Passion to hate and never breaking the wall.
Chorus
And I have become another soul to be thrilled.
Too true I can not be killed.
Hold it in.
Loss of breath.
Skin tight skin and lack of rest.
A friend of mine 8 of 9.
Smoke in shadows and choking on wine.
Back from the start. Bleeding heart art kept in a jar and in the back of my car.
Swimming in lead. a blow to the head. Plastered and stagnant and you're turning red.
Chorus
And I have become another soul to be thrilled.
Too true I can not be killed.

Give me a sign. Hit me right between the eyes.
I know they're not coming home.
Sing me a song. Close the door behind you.
I know they're not coming home.
Chorus
She gets by on somebody just to save herself.
So take your teeth out of me and find somebody else.
Sit alone with your bones that you put on the shelf.
So take your teeth out of me and find somebody else
Welcome aboard. The parties just beginning.
I know were not coming back.
Lay me down. Don't look at me I'm not for sale.
I know we're not coming back.
Chorus
She gets by on somebody just to save herself.
So take your teeth out of me and find somebody else.
Sit alone with your bones that you put on the shelf.
So take your teeth out of me and find somebody else

Sheets on the Wall
02:38
|
|||
|
Saturday night I put my sheets on the wall.
Go to the sink, put my hands in the waterfall.
Curtsey for all the faithful fathers.
They can rest while I will find their daughters.
Yeah
Morning comes I don't know where I am.
Calm enough to find the promised land.
You and I you know we've seen it all.
Stay a while, we'll watch this kingdom fall.
Yeah

Sweeties Kiss
03:31
|
|||
|
I was thinking. Are you thinking?
I know you know me, but you dont know me.
Just scratching the surface now, but they'll never find me.
These selfish antics, they lead me on.
No shame in wanting more.
No shame in wanting more.
you sit an lie awake and let it burn inside you.
I hope you run away.
I hope you run away.
Chorus
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
I don't care.
These selfish antics, they lead me on.
No shame in wanting more.
You're already gone.
I hope you run away.
I hope you run away.
Chorus
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
I don't care.
Solo
Chorus
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
Sweeties kiss is like a rose, but I don't care
Sweeties kiss is like a rose X2
I don't care.

Wayside
03:27
|
|||
|
I know it takes a little bit of thread. Stitchin back your head.
I know it takes more than just one shot. Gonna give it all Iv'e got.
Iv'e seen a hundred candles on the hill making me so ill.
I feel like I do most every day, getting me some play.
Chorus
I went to break these walls for you.
And I broke a few to make it back again.
I walk the wayside to see you.
Gonna give it up and set it into view.
I live in a place most like a dream in front of a green screen.
You know the images seen there breathing up my air.
Chorus
I went to break these walls for you.
And I broke a few to make it back again.
I walk the wayside to see you.
Gonna give it up and set it into view.
Solo
Chorus
I went to break these walls for you.
And I broke a few to make it back again.
I walk the wayside to see you.
Gonna give it up and set it into view.

Fall Again
05:20
|
|||
|
Your purple are gasping for breath, but I do not pretend when I hold you.
I'm not calloused enough to save you.
Chorus
I wanna fall with no one there to see me fall from grace.
I wanna fall with no one there to pull me from this place.
I wanna fall with no one there save me from my self.
I wanna fall with no one there to put me on the shelf.
Another pressing state of mind presents itself to me and I'm longing.
I know it seems like enough to blame me.
And come away and stay naive with me.
I'm not afraid of it all.
I'm not afraid of it all.
and I know it seems like enough to blame me.
Chorus
I wanna fall with no one there to see me fall from grace.
I wanna fall with no one there to pull me from this place.
I wanna fall with no one there save me from my self.
I wanna fall with no one there to put me on the shelf.

All Along
03:48
|
|||
|
Well I heard something of interest from a sweet sub-urban princes. The future might be killing me.
And I was hanging on the doorstep about to take the wrong step to my car with my keys in my hand.
Chorus
And I swear I never knew it all along, but I'm pretending now. and I will try to relate to your plastic conversation and I'll give you another smile.
I took a key this morning and heard Cinderella's warning, whisper in the back of my mind.
Something jumped and bit me when the words they spoke had hit me. Making jokes pretending not to care.
Chorus
And I swear I never knew it all along, but I'm pretending now. and I will try to relate to your plastic conversation and I'll give you another smile.
Living in the movies when the bullet passed right through me, piercing through my chest and my lungs.
With a melancholie statement making words too far from fragrant hanging from my lips as I spoke.
Chorus
And I swear I never knew it all along, but I'm pretending now. and I will try to relate to your plastic conversation and I'll give you another smile.

Rays of Sun
03:39
|
|||
|
I'm sitting here to soak the sun, to warm the thought of everyone.
We are all just rays of sun confused because we think it's fun.
Thoughts are thick most everywhere.
I saw them penetrate your hair.
floating in those reddish curls. we were young to hate the world.
Couldn't see what was unfurled. Shaking now your lips are curled.
Warmer days gone in a whirl. Numb is beauty little girl.
We had grown so far apart that I couldn't see the pistons in your mind.
My ego makes me arrogant and vain I know I can't complain, but every now and then it feels so right.
Hear my thoughts on symmetry. Perfection in the flaws we see.
they can love their misery, but I'll stay numb through what I see.
Missing things is not a choice. on the phone I hear your voice.
now and then you get a clue, but somethings still fucked up with you.
I'm shedding light on past events, but i wish I had my future self back then.
Songs are memories and tastes are thoughts and visions take me back where I belong.
Watch the tides return to sea. Singing what you said to me.
The sand is filling up my pores fusing me onto this shore.
Falling faster to the earth. merging with it in rebirth.
the day is breaking once again and I'm about to loose a friend.
No I could never see what I could never be.
and maybe...
A god could never be more than what we see.
Take you back and spin you in. break the day 'til we begin.
the day is falling on my face warming me in a better place.

Wind City
05:37
|
|||
|
Wind city brings a warm breeze to my mind.
Drinking in all the thoughts that I can find.
Crowded streets, suited people with clearer brains.
Taking back all the feelings combined it pains.
Walking down the ridge of an imprint deeply laid.
Along the edges of the cloth, the threads are frayed.
I loved you then, but I did not take you back.
and it aint easy to erase to get on track.
Chorus
Call on me for you to see the tiebreakers low.
I cant believe that I would chance this on my own.
You will see. Trust in me. You're not alone
Tide is turning got a place to make a stop.
From the store out the door watch the feelings drop.
Amplifier sounds ringing endless on this plane.
Lick your wounds I assumed to be your bane.
The day is dawning and my bed smells just of me.
It's just another night flying high on LSD.
Chorus
Call on me for you to see the tiebreakers low.
I cant believe that I would chance this on my own.
You will see. Trust in me. You're not alone

Plastic Shadow
03:19
|
|||
|
Spitting thoughts of loneliness down a hallway I created.
nothing more than empty bliss when the souls are solely mated.
I was sleeping on the thought that you were thinking on the line of all the times that you were taught to let your love rot on the vine.
Chorus
Tomorrow and the days that follow cast another plastic shadow.
Waiting for the sun to find me and call my name.
Another time to start again. Reinventing with you friend, but the world is too damn shallow.
Plastic shadow.
Couldn't wait to find the day. now I have it's duly noted.
Like a dream that I once had. I could have sworn that I had wrote it.
Falls faster everyday. Starts to pick up speed I see.
Never thought I'd have to pay, but the price is fine with me.
Chorus
Tomorrow and the days that follow cast another plastic shadow.
Waiting for the sun to find me and call my name.
Another time to start again. Reinventing with you friend, but the world is too damn shallow.
Plastic shadow.
