She came back home
Five weeks away
Dressed in white lace
A porcelain face
Held back my tears
Let out my pride
I could not trust my eyes
Like my old love had died
Everything’s wrong but I can’t move on
I just won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my mind
We used to run
We used to play
On the grey raining days
Just two kids without shame
Filthy and scared
They took her from me
And when she returned
She was too good to see
Everything’s wrong but I can’t move on
I just won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my-
Won’t get her off of my mind
I wish I could be someone
I wish I could be a rich man
I wish they didn’t hate me
I wish I could be someone
I wish I could be a rich man
I wish they didn’t hate me
I’ll come back home
Wealthy and wise
Stamp out her friends
And make sure she cries
Everything’s wrong but I can’t move on
Listen everything’s wrong but I must move on
Everything’s wrong gotta move along

Mr. Parson

Poor Mr. Parson
Locked him out again
These games we play
Seem to upset him
Really shows his age
Well curse him either way
Trashed his room today
He laughed I’m afraid
Roommates are fondling
There’s one that I admire
But Parson’s tired
We never let him
Sleep throughout the night
There’s bags under his eyes
He’ll crack like thinning ice
He laughs while he cries
You felt nothing
When I hurt you
I deserve you
You need me
You felt nothing
When I hurt you
I deserve you
You need me
Going faster
Never slower
I will hurt you
Till you bleed
Going faster
Never slower
I will hurt you
Till you bleed
Can you trust me
Please believe me
I’ve got a hold and there’s nowhere to go
We tossed a paint brush
Landed on his head
His face went red
Once day I’ll find him
Hulking past the den
A shovel in his hands
And blood stained on his pants
Ending my friends

The Great Outdoors

There’s a world outside
But the light hurts my eyes
Oh well
It’s a trick of the eye
What a beautiful lie
Oh well
See them laugh see them joke
See them stoke up the smoke
Oh well
They got soul I do not
But what have I got
Oh well
Sometimes I feel
I need to open the door
But I’m afraid
That there really is more that I see
If I joined in the crowd
If I spoke really loud
What now
Would they laugh in my face
God I’m such a disgrace
Oh well
Fear is more than a dream
It’s painful to me
Oh well
It’s a pain so obscene
Makes me weak in the knees
Oh well
I had my chance
Turned my eyes toward the sun
But cold winds blow
And I knew I must run in defeat
I can see you grin
Oh the places you’ve been
And toiled
You tell truth I tell lies
I don’t move I just hide
Oh well
There’s a death in the air
And of that I’m so scared
Oh well
I can die in here
Or I’ll perish out there
Oh well
Sometimes I feel
I need to open the door
But I’m afraid
That there really is more that I see

Breathing Just for Fun

What’s your day been like
Have you done enough
Did you just wake up
Screens and blinks and yawns
Taking in the mail
Lying on the couch
I know what it’s like
Day in and day out
Breathing just for fun
Far from numb and now
It’s too late for that
(Not too late for that)
It’s too late for that
(Not too late for that)
The things you say you want to do
Do them for you
What do your friends do
Gyms and cars and jobs
Girlfriends and new shirts
Don’t you long for that
Energy and strength
Laughing while you run
You were so young but now
It’s too late for that
(Not too late for that)
It’s too late for that
(Not too late for that)
The things you say you want to do
Do them for you
I know what it’s like
Day in and day out
Breathing just for fun

Tied to a Tree
02:11

Remember when you tied me to a tree and I cried
You stole away from mother expecting a fight
Mud under your feet
The driveway to the street
The crows cackle above
Do what you want if you want to I replied
Captured upside down the blood rushed to my head
The forest made a sound we can’t hear what she said
Ginger has a light
The doe off to my right
She stares you in the eye
Sorry about your rabbit my fault that he’s dead
I’ll never get to play another game with my mates
The maples know the smoke rising up from the glade
Nothing to be said
Nothing to be done
Our friends have their fun
Vengeance is the name of the game that we play

You Know Me

He told a joke
To brighten her day
Reaches out to touch her face
She rolls her eyes lights up the place
Gives him a look
Reads him like a book
He folds it in his memory
This is how it’s supposed to be
They make it look so easy
Bring a watch to my room
Set it back a few hours
Let me see the things you do
Memorize your face your moods
I don’t want to compare
Us to ones with more time
Keep your secrets keep your tasks
I know I’m moving too fast
And I can tell why you are tired
Why can’t this be easy
When I was not trying did I do much better
Do you long for someone less careful more clever
I am not sure when we changed
Have I overstayed
You know me
But do I know you
You know me
But do I know you

Chameleon Man

Did you decide what you’re gonna do
Chameleon Man’s got his eye on you
It’s quite the honor if you look his way
He wants to save your terrible day
Chameleon Man says you’re all he needs
He thinks you’re pretty and he’s begging you please
He doesn’t care about your ups and downs
He wants to see you in a beautiful gown
Loving is easy as long as you’re breezy
Yeah loving is easy as long as you’re breezy
Yeah loving is easy as long as you’re breezy
Yeah loving is easy as long
Chameleon Man won’t come anymore
He only has sex on the living room floor
He’ll ask for love when your world is gray
But turn your head and he fades away

Having a party in my room
Just like when you hurt my eyes yesterday
You held mud in my face
I could not breathe
I got some nose mud
Terrible terrible terrible friends I got
One day new shirts
Will have anti-mud sleeves
Love is dead
Love is yesterday
Love is stained
oh well
Love is a laugh in my face
Love is a disgrace
Love is girlfriends laughing while you watch paint cry
Love is numb
Love is terrible
Love is FILTHYYYYYYYYYY
