No Different

It gave up on itself -
You gave it up for yourself,
No less - you’re no different.
So much left, you could help with,
You can help me,
When I’m broken up again.
When the old man -
Took up the nightly routine -
Of knocking too many back,
On the beach of a liquidless dream.
One day you will get there too,
And see a current still runs,
It isn’t all that bad,
Some water still moves,
Down by the southern bank,
Where we could meet.
Beneath that ridiculous bridge,
The one that connects you to me.
You can come and see for yourself,
‘Cause the water’s up to your knees,
All because you never cared,
So walk as far out as me.
It isn’t all that bad,
Walk as far out as me.
It gave up on itself -
You gave it up for yourself,
No less - you’re no different.
If it’s too much, a burden -
To put the pieces together.
Not wrong about you yet.
It isn’t all that bad,
So walk out here with me.
Everything will soon forget us,
As we march into the sea.
But nothing could be as good,
As the day you sang to me,
Hold back the tears you waste,
On flooding a liquidless - beach.
Everything will soon forget us,
Just walk out here with me.
Everything will soon forget us,
Beneath the water we can breathe.
It gave up on itself -
You gave it up for yourself,
No less - you’re no different.
So much less, you’re not special -
You’re not gifted.
And I’m choking up again,
Please don’t make me sit through that,
You’re not special,
You gave up in the end.
It gave up on itself,
You gave it up for yourself,
No less - you’re no different.
It gave up on itself,
You gave it up for yourself,
No less - you’re no different.

Lately

We were too young,
To remember it well,
What were we doing?
Way too young,
To be thrown into hell,
But lately
It’s been hard to forget.
Some things never change,
But people do.
Some things never change,
But people do.
Some things haven’t changed,
But they might just soon.
You’re remembering wrong,
That’s not how it went,
You were already gone,
And I might leave too.
You’re remembering wrong,
This isn’t how it went down.
This might split quite soon,
If I never change,
‘Cause you’ll never change.
(This might split quite -
This might split quite -)
We were too young,
To remember it well,
What are we doing?
Way too young,
To be thrown into hell,
But lately.
It’s hard - hard to forget.
Some things never change,
But people do.
If it isn’t my fault,
Why do I feel used?
What did I do wrong?
And why do I have to choose?
You were already gone,
I swear I’m leaving soon.
You won’t regret it for long.
So I’ll hold on for you.
We might split soon,
If we never change,
‘Cause we’ll never change.
(This might split quite-
This might split quite)

Blue Hair

If we go to jail tonight, remember me as a good man,
I’ll remember you - the way you are,
Right here - right now - in front of me.
Stop staring, stop staring, like she’s your idol.
I’m out of my body again,
And I can’t think of anyone -
I can’t think of anyone,
Who’s interested in knowing -
My state of affairs.
I don’t imagine she’d care -
Even a little bit.
But what do i know -
what if she did.
I’m hearing everything that she breathes,
But I can’t believe what she says.
Blue haired girl, I want you.
But now you know that I can’t stand,
I can not withstand,
Losing a hold on your world.
I’m hearing everything that she breathes,
But I can’t believe what she says.
You cut your hair much shorter than mine,
In a strange attempt to be free.
Short haired girl, I await you,
But you’re all on your own,
And I’m here delirious.
I’m hearing everything that she breathes,
But I can’t believe what she says.
There’s a fly in her drink, and all she did was laugh.
Beat me to the punch -
And when she beat me to the punch - yeah,
All she did was laugh
There’s a fly in her drink, and she won’t send it back.
Won’t cause a commotion.
Doesn’t wanna stir it up.
She doesn’t wanna do that.
If I close my eyes til I see black,
It starts to feel like you’re right here.
And I promise you might feel the same way,
We’re more alike than you’d feared.
I’m hearing everything that she breathes,
But I can’t believe what she says.
You cut your hair much shorter than mine,
In a strange attempt to be free.
I’ve closed my eyes and I see black,
And it feels like you’re right here.
I’m hearing everything that she breathes,
But I can’t believe what she says.

Cave In
03:05

Hanging the world from my shoestring
To dangle it all on my thumb
The angle you shot was the one,
That did them in.
The whole world’s commanding.
The whole world hanging, and you gave in.
Is that what you meant - what you meant to do?
Are we to pretend - this doesn’t fall back on you?
I’ve been managing in spite of my loose lips,
You happened to shut me out.
I thought I was done -
When you wanted to run,
From the sinking ship.
But it had already landed,
I gave in.
To tell you the truth, I could never begin,
To tell you the truth, I won’t say it again.
The line we’re walking is thin,
The line we’re walking is thin,
I don’t want to feed you a lie,
But you are forcing my hand,
And I don’t think that I’ll ask why,
It’s getting too much to take.
To tell you the truth, I could never begin,
To tell you the truth, I won’t say it again.
The line we’re walking is thin.
(The line we’re walking is thin)
The world’s hanging off of my shoestring,
It’s just sitting there - right on my thumb,
The angle you shot was the one,
That did them in.
The whole world hanging -
And I caved in.

Common Sense
02:21

Let’s make a deal to disagree,
You aren’t as lenient as me,
Make a deal to disagree,
You couldn’t let this one be,
Be a problem -
At least not - yours.
Immune to conflict -
Close your door.
Let’s truly start to believe, that it’s time for us to leave.
Too bad you’re as stubborn as me.
Let’s make a deal - disagree,
You’re as stubborn as me.
Let’s make a deal - disagree.
You never use your common sense - and only I know why.
I can‘t remember where I went - but I left when you got high.
Well I left you five -
Five too many miles -
From a place where you were safe enough to come on inside.
You never use your common sense - and I can tell you why.
I can tell you why.
Let’s make a deal - disagree,
You’re as stubborn as me.
I can‘t remember where I went - but I left when you got high.
When I left you five -
Five too many miles -
From a place where you were safe enough to come on inside.
You never use your common sense - and I can tell you why.
I left when you got high -
Left when you got high -
Far too many times.

Warnings

Listening across the hall -
For a shred of evidence this is my fault.
Sitting across the aisle -
From the equal and indifferent other side,
And side effects are adding up to little boxes painted with warnings, read the warnings, written in plain text, please take caution.
You were so small.

White Noise
04:27

I want to need you
To be - near you,
Immediately, immediately,
We’ll have this, soon as can be
Soon As can be,
We’ll get to see, we’ll get to see, what happens,
You’ll get to see, you’ll get to see,
exactly what I meant.
Immediately, immediately,
We’ll have this, soon as can be
Soon as can be,
We’ll get to see, we’ll get to see, what happens,
You’ll get to see, you’ll get to see,
exactly what I meant.
Tearing down the walls, reveals the white noise,
A static that can insulate me.
Tearing down the walls, and all the white noise,
To see what it’s a buffer between.
Tearing down the walls, reveals the white noise.
Tearing down the walls, and all the white noise.
Laid out here, sidewalk bound, face down,
Thinkin’ about how,
I should’ve taken you up,
on the ride to my house,
while the offer still stood.
You know it should’ve been anyone else.
I want you to need me,
I want anyone.
It’s immediate.
Or it should be.
Tearing down the walls, reveals the white noise,
A static that can insulate me.
Tearing down the walls, and all the white noise,
To see what it’s a buffer between.
I want you to need me,
I want anyone.
It’s immediate,
Or it should be.
Because I really need the helping hand
And I don’t see yours extending.

Lives
02:55

I’m tired of the excuses,
You keep pointing to the door,
Well I don’t want to leave,
But I’m too out of it - to get into it,
I can’t let you be, I could never let you be,
And now you’re out of this,
When you were pulling me in,
You made sure I wouldn’t last.
But how long has it been -
Now I’m too out of it, to get into this - again.
Can’t you just tell me goodbye,
Instead of wasting our lives,
Please just open your eyes, your lying
will catch you in time,
You can’t go on leading the blind,
No you can’t go on leading the blind.
I’m tired of the excuses,
Let’s just tell them we can see,
Better now than never said.
If this is how it is - I can’t live like this.
Now’s not the time to pretend,
Choose your next words with care,
‘Cause they can’t help but believe,
That I’m too out of it, to resist the influence - just yet.
Can’t you just tell me goodbye,
Instead of wasting our lives,
I need you to open your eyes,
They’ll find out the truth anytime,
You can’t go on leading the blind,
No you can’t go on leading the blind.

Man or Boy
02:13

I am a ... man..
Back when, they started the war,
The one you tried so hard to ignore -
I was still - a boy -
Now just enough has changed - since then.
So - I - am some man - I guess.
Most of me - seemed to be, better off a boy..
To keep from chewing up and spitting out.
I seemed better off a boy..
Until those softer days -
Got too far apart, for me to count...

Who I Be
03:59
|

|
I’m not sure who I am
And I’d like it if you could fill me in.
I’ve been telling you, all that I know,
That doesn’t seem enough.
What would be ...
(That couldn’t be enough)
What would be ... enough?
I want to know who I am,
So if you’re willing, please let me know.
If you go I’d never know who you are,
So don’t ask why, don’t follow the charts,
Don’t stick by -
Don’t go too far.
Don’t stick by -
Don’t go too far.
Don’t stick by, don’t go far.
You saw the ten cents in this,
and thought it worth the chance,
But it wasn’t - worth the look - afforded to
Get him home - get to know me.
I don’t know who I am.
But would you - could you, lend a hand?
So don’t ask why,
Don’t follow the charts.
Don’t ask why,
Don’t follow the charts.
Don’t wander off,
You’re feeling too far.
Might follow suit,
Forget who you are.
Kept at arm’s length,
I’ll do what I can.
So don’t ask why.
Don’t know who I am.
Don’t ask why,
Don’t know who I am.
