Sunny Disposition
03:25
|
|||
|
We don't say too much, mostly hellos and goodbyes
If we spoke enough, our deep uglies would rise
Something's thrived between us since we first laid side by side
We're bottling our confessions, but everything'll be fine
Just because I make some friendly conversation
Doesn't mean I have a sunny disposition
Oh, I know how this goes by now
Oh, you'll end up hurt somehow
You are not the first to grow attached this way
I don't appear a hunter because I play the prey
You feel something's off, but it's late to start
We've shared too much fire, like two cigarettes in the dark
Just because we had a handful of sensations
Doesn't mean I have a sunny disposition
Oh, I know how this goes by now
Oh, you'll end up hurt somehow
These moves have lost their charm, it's about time I split
Put all this behind me, and learn how to commit
Don't be bitter with me, in time, you would've done as such
I've got plenty to work through, and you've got just as much
Yes I know my habits could probably use some fixin'
Guess I'll work on having a sunny disposition
Oh, I know how this goes by now
Oh, you'll end up hurt somehow

Eggs
02:21

Don't know what to do with these eggs
I could scramble them, maybe serve them sunny side up
But at the end of the day
I'm too distracted to be thinking how to cook up some stuff
All I wanna do is lay
In this joke of a winter time considering some ways to make up
For all the time gone to waste
You'd hope that I could multitask but I can't even think and make eggs
I want to ignore that somethin' is missin'
let myself enjoy the seasonal kissin'
but breakfast should be simple, yet I'm staring at the pan
maybe if I put a spoon in hand
But I still don't know what to do with these eggs
I could scramble them, maybe serve them sunny side up
But at the end of the day
I'm too distracted to be thinking how to cook up some stuff
All I wanna do is lay
In this joke of a winter time considering some ways to make up
For all the time gone to waste
You'd hope that I could multitask but I can't even think and make eggs
It's eggs

Black Eye Tom

Black eye Tom, there's news to be told
It's the part of your story where the edges unfold
Where you ignored the truth that would scar your heart
Oh black eye Tom, you two have grown apart
Deep down you know why, and you've known it for long
Oh black eye Tom, you can't right her wrongs
It's best for us all if you'd stop hanging 'round her
There ain't nothin' worse than a good liar
And even though she was hardly a harlot
You can't be so giving with your chest of churning garnet
Oh black eye Tom, your eyes shine with tears
I guess I can't blame you, after looking in this mirror
Oh black eye Tom

Purple Loosestrife
03:22
|
|||
|
Surrounded by giants who aren't friend's of mine
Too tall to look at, those small leaved limes
Smiling they drown their liquor in one
I would join but I'm too small to have fun
Am I made for a life of
Following purple loosestrife
Festering a burst in my stockpile of muck
They won't stop yelling and doubt that I am drunk
Death's nails scoop flesh, but my feet are stone
All her friends see that I've turned skin and bone
I'm not made for a life of
Following purple loosestrife
Her bathroom mirror shows how far my eyes have sunk
I hop into the front seat let the engines clear their gunk
Fog chokes the wings, the plane starts to shake
if we land early would it've been my mistake
But the dance is finally done
My heart will pump under the sun
My heart will pump under the sun (x3)
Alone

Man in a coffin
02:45
|
|||
|
Man in a coffin, man in the ground
while you've been sleepin', world turned itself 'round
You've been swept away, never you did crime
you've been swept away, by the shores of time
Man in a coffin, man under the dirt
I hope it was easy, that you didn't feel no hurt
We all think it was early for you to lose your breath
and watch it flow in order, beside the gale of death
Man in a coffin, man sealed away
your courage has ended, your wisdom will stay
The thread of your being finally curled
The world gave you life, and your life meant the world
I ain't much for gods, no I ain't much for powers
I think that there's us and our worldly desires
If you believe separate, by me that's alright
But tell that to my friend down there, who'll never see our light again
Man in a coffin, man in the ground
while you've been sleepin', world turned itself 'round
You've been swept away, never you did crime
you've been swept away, by the shores of time

Sprained Ankle
02:33
|
|||
|
Wish I could write songs about anything other than death
But I can't go to bed without drawing the red, shaving off breaths;
Each one so heavy, each one so cumbersome
Each one a lead weight hanging between my lungs
Spilling my guts
Sweat on a microphone, breaking my voice
Whenever I'm alone with you, can't talk but
"Isn't this weather nice? Are you okay?"
Should I go somewhere else and hide my face?
A sprinter learning to wait
A marathon runner, my ankles are sprained
A marathon runner, my ankles are sprained

Mandatory Fun
01:12
|
|||
|
With a group of lips that smoke
And laugh about things they
Will forget
I want to steal away
To the roof, for some
Quiet dancing
Nothing serious to experience
Something not words that don't stick
Something not words that don't stick

Full Circle, Part 1
01:38
|
|||
|
I can almost see
the first reality
where we know what to be
It's over a horizon
a whole world without revision
finally, the ultimate vision
I hope one day it fills my eyes
with all of the electricity
flowing between you and me
for now, it's sour grapes
surely there's something wrong
if we found a way to get along

Fade Boy, Fade
03:39
|
|||
|
Gold hearts are growin' on sharp rocky shores
I born blessed with earth am bronze to the core
But I try oh I try to be silver and strong
I'll live in denial, singing my
Songs that I write for the people I know
Wishing my little life had more to show
Tell me I'm beautiful, make things alright
It doesn't matter, it all fades to white
Fade boy, fade
Sleeping with an ignorance that shooed away the thought
That I ought take care of the seeds I've been bought
My bones bear their husks, my matrix their mistakes
I could've learned, but here I am, singing my
Songs that I write for the people I know
Wishing my little life had more to show
Tell me I'm beautiful, make things alright
It doesn't matter, it all fades to white
Fade boy, fade
Inside a spiral bruise, the mark of a regretted ram
The cold realization of the man that I am
If I keep running, I'll fall, and I'll die
I am just a boy who is meant to fade to white
Fade boy, fade
Fade boy, fade
