I just wanna get in But the door won't move. Ain't looking for sin, I ain't trying to prove. You wanna know my game, how about you figure out yours. You're just another dame, I think I'll head for the door. And if you know me, I ain't looking for you. But I just can't tell, would you notice if I am blue. I am perfectly content to rest on my laurels I miss the time we spent, Fleeing from our morals. Eyes drawn to you. Ours meet, but only for a second. I ain't in the mood, To be, lost in your perfection. Looking for old friends, Nowhere to be found. Looking out the ends, I got my head in the clouds. Well I thought I knew me, but I don't know you. But I just can't tell, would you notice if I am blue. I am perfectly content to rest on my laurels I miss the time we spent, Fleeing from our morals. Eyes drawn to you. Ours meet, but only for a second. I ain't in the mood, To be, lost in your perfection.

Kick back and just enjoy the ride Time will slip away so don’t just stand by Life's an hourglass turning like the tide Just when you're comfortable you’re taken by surprise Don’t stop now, don’t slow down and rest A surrender now would defeat the test Just when you thought you’d tried your best Another obstacle arrives with zest A simple black line drawn completes the X Another brick wall that only I object Forward thinking i one day might regret Another cornerstone I will soon forget But not today My father told me to plan ahead These foolish notions won’t bring in bread he said But the sand is nimble, it slips right through your hand The grains of time will pass you by but one day you’ll comprehend Don’t stop now, don’t slow down and rest A surrender now would defeat the test Just when you thought you’d tried your best Another obstacle arrives with zest A simple black line drawn completes the X Another brick wall that only I object Forward thinking i one day might regret Another cornerstone I will soon forget But not today

French Press 03:33
There is no way I can decipher what I am from where I’ve been I’ve been searching for the answer finding nothing at days end Turn Left, Turn Right, this map won’t show My way, tonight , but the creases have broken up the page last chance, first light, I’ll finally lose My way, tonight... Time has come to pick a direction But I can’t seem to find my way all the days just blur i-into one sending, searching, ripped away Turn Left, Turn Right, this map won’t show My way, tonight , but the creases have broken up the way last chance, first light, I’ll finally lose My way, tonight...

Jaded 04:05
24-Hour news, it's streamin' in my ears. 24-Hour news, I'm living in a state of fear. What am I supposed to believe, I thought I put my faith in truth. Shrugged off the cold embrace of these old chains of youth. If you're not jaded, you're not paying attention. The mother of invention won't ease your mind. Too many hounds hounding my thoughts, rattlin' through my mind. Too many hounds hounding my thoughts, but I feel fine. These neon signs scream out with words I can't describe. It seems these suburban dreams are quickly passing by. If you're not jaded, you're not paying attention. The mother of invention won't ease your mind Driving, striving, criticizing, I'm lying on my back and I'm paralyzed. Driving, striving, criminalized, My ships about to sail and I'm realizing. If you're not jaded, you're not paying attention. The mother of invention won't ease your mind

Wildfire 03:53
And I told you what you wanted to hear Would there be noth- oh nothing left to fear And if you knew, oh would it change you And if you knew, oh would it change you And if you knew Just go, Away Every tiny little word that’s left to say And if you’d go and just leave it alone And if you’d go and just leave it alone And if you’d go And now that my mind’s all, all covered up in beer Since the wildfire, things have never been this clear And now you know oh would you change it And now you know oh would you change it Cause now you know Now that I know When you’re left without a home Well now I Know Now that it's over I see why nothing’s left

Fool's Gold 03:38
Girl what are you doin’, what are you runnin’ from. And how is it I’m treated, like I’m some kind of bum. Whoa, whoa, all told, you’re fool’s gold. Why you gotta be that way? Can’t you hear the things that I’m sayin’? Oh, but you say I’m so sweet, then why am I not one to keep. Occupy my mind, with a thousand worldly things. But any hint of affection, and I’m still hanging on your sleeve. Whoa, whoa, been told, two fold. Why you gotta be that way? Can’t you hear the things that I’m sayin’? Oh, but you say I’m so sweet, then why am I not one to keep. Seems you don’t have a clue about my point of view. I know you know it’s true, there’s nothing left to do.

Froggy-Style hang glider Priest-born synthesizer Iron Lies I think the Postal Service Lady Took my baby but I don’t mind I don’t mind gasoline and plaster Plastic and anger be my master Grenadine dreams take me past it Pin-up harpies in my rafters Standing on a hurricane Feeling like I lost my brain Always blind I’ll wear my Sunday face Dress in heavy lace And die outside I don’t mind gasoline and plaster Plastic and anger be my master Grenadine dreams take me past it Pin-up harpies in my rafters I gotta find But there’s nowhere left to hide Sending me across the sea Seen my opportunity

Yeah well the funny thing is It never seems to go that fast One day you’ll be runnin, runnin around But the moment, it just won’t last Darlin I’d love to watch the sun set with you But I’ve got school and work, and all these things to do So please forgive me, I’ve got a lot on my mind I am trying to not to finish this story, but I’m running out of lines To read, or to write It’s one of those little mistakes You can only see when you look back Too much time spent bumming around Before I know it my bag is already packed Man I’d love to watch the sun rise with you But I’ve got responsibilities and too many things to do So please believe me, and tell me if you don’t mind Just what I am supposed to do now, cause good friends are just so hard to find These days So take my word that you should, do what you will do Life’s too short to appease everyone, at least from my point of view Darlin I’d love to watch the sun set with you But I’ve got school and work, and all these things to do So please forgive me, I’ve got a lot on my mind I am trying to not to finish this story, but I’m running out of lines To read, to write

Fall asleep in my hand, I just wanna see you. Disappear, and fade to black. I just wanna see you. And I’ll say it again. Never want to see them, I never want to see them, Never want to see them again. But just say the word, and I will. I’m never gonna tell, Never gonna tell, I’m never gonna tell my friends. But if they already know, then I will. Sticks and stones can build a home, but my words they fail me. So take this down, for your book the words have just escaped me. And I’ll say it again, and again, and again Never want to see them, I never want to see them, Never want to see them again. But just say the word, and I will.
