Love Song
02:02
|
|

I tried to write you a love song
But I gave up
Cause all the words come out wrong
That i made up
I could put you in a glass box
I could stare at you all day
I could get down on a knee
And I could try to pray
But this is not a love song
For you i cannot write
It wouldn’t do you justice
Cause no words would be right
And if you would ever leave
And i should have to grieve
You would be so naive
To not believe
That the words I would write
Now by candle light
Would be just right
To make you mine tonight

Winter is a Hungry Giant
03:52

We have been idling
In the jaws of a hungry giant
We have been siding
with the dark we became reliant
We noticed our worlds moving away
The “what ifs” were keeping us at bay
But we didn't fall into that gray
We pushed on to where we are today
Our eyes adapted
To the silent blackness in it’s grip
The ice unwanted
Eases us down as we slip
We noticed our worlds moving away
The “what ifs” were keeping us at bay
But we didn't fall into that gray
We pushed on to where we are today
Waiting is the hardest part
Longing for the beat of your heart
We can gaze into each other eyes
and beat the sunrise
We noticed our worlds moving away
The “what ifs” were keeping us at bay
But we didn't fall into that gray
We pushed on to where we are today

Hymie's
03:18

I'm playing a show at a record store,
And all my heroes live here.
Cash, Dylan, Cohen, and more
I'll play so load they can hear.
My chords echo down the aisle
as people grab what they see
you know it always makes me smile
to know theirs other like me
For Music Changes everything,
It always puts up a fight
I've spent hours listening,
Just to get the words right
As a push down these strings
I aline myself with the sound
These aren't just any old things
oh how they can Astound
For Music Changes everything,
It always puts up a fight
I've spent hours listening,
Just to get the words right
I've spent hours listening, just to get the words right

Change
02:55
|
|

The promises we made, Were in vain
For we didn’t grow, We just stayed the same
Now The rooms we haunt, The friends we taunt
They all look so strange
I want to change
Lost in a sea of lakes
In the middle of nowhere
I am getting the shakes
With the sun’s glare
For all over the land
Snow blankets the old
The frozen deserts sand
We’ll die in this cold
The promises we made, Were in vain
For we didn’t grow, We just stayed the same
Now The rooms we haunt, The friends we taunt
They all look so strange
I want to change
Winters slowly breaking
Waiting for the thaw
Trying to stop shaking
My character’s flaw
A longing for the light
Old habits to drown
Please hold me tight
I’m stuck in this town
The promises we made, Were in vain
For we didn’t grow, We just stayed the same
Now The rooms we haunt, The friends we taunt
They all look so strange
I want to change

My Symphony
03:42
|
|

Your beauty
Is the kind worth waiting for
Not only that of skin
But the kind worth loving and hating for
And your ways
Are so foreign and graceful
In my mind stays
Your thoughts and words so tasteful
My symphony
My song
My whistling bird in spring
My love when hope is gone
You chose my hand
To be the one you hold
When you feel scared
Feel happy or cold
I chose your eyes
To be the ones I gaze
When i need to smile
And remember happy days
My symphony
My song
My whistling bird in spring
My love when hope is gone
From now until forever
You are the song I sing
From now until whenever
I need some joy to bring
Like a soft piano
Or thunder far away
You are the one voice
That soothes me every day

Little Crow
03:18

|

I saw a crow, flying low
And in her mouth, was a tiny straw
She’ll build a nest, where she can rest
Up in a tree, she is Free
I saw a boy, playin' with a toy
A smile as big, as i'd ever seen
He's peeling bark, in a city park
And with his Glee, he is Free
That little crow, as free as can be
Can never, ever be me
That little boy, with all of his glee
Can never, ever be me
I saw love, from up above
When i had faith, it was enough
I felt his grace, in everyplace
With is decree, i was Free
That little crow, as free as can be
Can never, ever be me
That little boy, with all of his glee
Can never, ever be me
I saw a crow, flying in low
And in her mouth, was a tiny straw
She’ll build a nest, where she can rest
Up in a tree, she is free

Girl Who Cried Monster
02:43

The monster that I hold inside
Will not rest until I’ve cried
For days and nights
To gain back myself I’ve tried
It comes and goes
As well as it pleases
Though the terror that i feel
Never really ceases
Hold me down
Writhing and screaming
That horrible sound
Like a kettle steaming
I’m somewhere inside
The jaws of this beast
Until in three days
The horror has ceased
I once was so pleasant
Innocent and kind
The most polite
Girl you could find
But some how she drowned
And in it’s dark place
The monster i hold inside
Sometimes bares it’s ugly face
Hold me down
Writhing and screaming
That horrible sound
Like a kettle steaming
I’m somewhere inside
The jaws of this beast
Until in three days
The horror has ceased

Control
02:50
|
|

You took from me
But I still set you free
I hope you learned your lesson
But I doubt you ever will
And you make me relive
What should have been mine to give
And I regret never teaching you
And I hope you got your fill
Cause every time I hear that word
It makes me sick to my soul
You made me so unclean
If you had known what I had seen
You took my control
You stole from me
I should have made you see
that what you did
neither can ever take back
You think you made me scared
But I am only more aware
And I can use this
Pain as an attack
Cause every time I hear that word
It makes me sick to my soul
You made me so unclean
If you had known what I had seen
You took my control
Because you do not have the power
That for a brief moment you thought you had
I am my own, and I belong to someone else
I am not a wounded animal
i am glad
Cause every time I hear that word
It makes me sick to my soul
You made me so unclean
If you had known what I had seen
You took my control

Leaving Paul
02:23
|
|
||
Spinning wheels and broken glass
All good things will come to pass
Summers dead I wasn’t scared
Fall is here I'm not prepared
For the coffee, tea, and cigarettes
I’ll make a list of all my regrets
Called you on a telephone
You know I can’t be alone
Lets leave everything
Throw it all away
Escape the pressures
From all the preachers
Lets leave today
Throw it all away
Boiling blood and heavy hearts
I need fewer moving parts
Rest my head on a makeshift bed
With all the memories I will shred
Guitar strings are useless things
The blood on my hand stings
Broken shattered cracked chords
I will take my pens over your swords
Lets leave everything
Throw it all away
Escape the nay Sayers,
With their saviors
Lets leave today
Throw it all away

Dreaming Valentine

Dreaming valentine
Until they're dry
You hush my mind
To end the cries
And sometimes it seems like
The hardest thing we've known
But the true test of it is
If others would have flown
We have so much more to learn
To know our hearts and how they yearn
For one another and each other
Our love, our life, our dream
Dreaming valentine
You are finally mine
Until the day I die
I will always shine
And sometimes it seems like
This cannot be real
You remind me with a kiss
To send me into bliss
We have so much more to learn
To know our hearts and how they yearn
For one another and each other
Our love, our life, our dream
