Home Sick
03:19
|

|
homesick, I feel so homesick
so many miles away from where I have been
helpless, i feel so helpless
underneath the sheets where I can't get no rest
lonesome, I feel so lonesome
and no one around can take that pain away
but notice, oh won't you notice
when I hit the ground, cause it's hard for me to say
Chorus:
I need a little help sometimes
I got bad thoughts inside my mind
and if I'm feeling good today
well I just hope that it will stay
working is a waste of time
school is close to suicide
can't sit still or watch the TV
nothing is as good as sleep
complaining, I am complaining
about all of the things that I still haven't done
remaining, I am remaining
in the same small town where I always have been
happy, no I'm not happy
but I'll try to deal with it 'til it can be resolved
madly, I am madly
tryna find a way that I can be okay without lying
Chorus
trying, oh I am trying
to find a way that I can be okay without lying
someday, oh someday
the clouds will open up and let go of all their rain

Madeline

Madeline, she's so fine
all the neighbors know I'll make her mine
she spends the night, it feels alright
something's hiding in the back of my mind
she carries me away all through the day
makes me forget about the work I hate
and then we walk, and then we talk
and I can never say the things I want
oh believe me
I didn't mean to make you my enemy
I want the best but I have to leave
you look so nice but I'm so lonely
I wish the right words would just come to me
days go by, and then we try
pick up the pieces and get back on the line
push our feelings aside, I let them hide
that's how you live when you think you're gonna die
but when we touch, I know it's too much
and when we kiss I can't hide from this
oh believe me
I didn't mean to make you my enemy
I want the best but I'm so lonely
you look so nice but I have to leave
I wish the right words would just come to me
it hurts to hold when everything's gone, gone away
I got a problem that I don't think will go away
oh believe me
I didn't mean to make you my enemy
I want the best but I have to leave
you look so nice but I'm so lonely
I wish the right words would just come to me

So Sweet
03:28
|

|
my head is a mess
your head on my chest
I can't believe it
I must be dreaming
but I'm still awake
in bed next to your place
all of the night
I lose my mind
I can't take this so sweet feeling
glowing stars stuck to my ceiling
while the world turns and stops breathing
you're something I don't want to miss
watching and waiting
oh what are you saying
in between lines
and lost in the skies
there's no other way
oh while you stay
give me your time
just for today
I can't take this so sweet feeling
glowing stars stuck to my ceiling
while the world turns and stops breathing
you're something I don't want to miss
while I have your attention
oh could I mention
I spend my time
lost in your eyes
I can't take this so sweet feeling
glowing stars stuck to my ceiling
while the world turns and stops breathing
you're something I don't want to miss

Weight Of The World
04:46

Sam, what a man drinking on a tuesday
he's got to get his rest before tomorrow
likes to watch his movies, got to eat his food
he's working cause we need him to give us strength
staying up 'til sunrise, telling me about the time
he used to sell coke in santa cruz
got so many stories, he knows just what war means
can't believe he even tells the truth
and that is the look of a man
with the weight of the world on his shoulders
doesn't stop after seventeen shots
cause there's more souls to save out there
Chris, what a mess goes to church on any day
he doesn't hit the bar before two
goes a lot of places, remembers all the faces
doesn't find it hard to find a friend
his favorite kind of beer is a glass that is clear
and filled up all the way to the top
gets a little angry, says "god must forgive me"
but this mess is someone else's fault
and that is the look of a man
with the weight of the world on his shoulders
doesn't stop after seventeen shots
cause there's more souls to save out there
he's got to make decisions that no one else could comprehend
and got to make them all alone
when he's tired of running, he goes and hides his gun
and finds another family to call home

Alone
05:04
|

|
Heaven's up in the sky
past the clouds, I know it is
heaven's down in my mind
and when I sleep, is when I find it
so here's the plan, don't wake me up
I'll let you know when I've had enough
and if that day never comes
I'll need someone to pull me back again
alone, I'll always be alone
alone, I'll always be alone
dream up different ways to ride
around the city to the mountains
as if the hills had a way to hide
everything I feel inside
and all those plans of running away
there's no escape, not from this
so I stare into an endless sky
at all the land that surrounds me
alone, I'll always be alone
alone, I'll always be alone
I wanted to wake up next to you
I wanted to stay so close to you
write a story that felt true
make a memory stay for good
maybe it all just falls into place
I don't think I can make that change
maybe I got things all mixed up
it's hard to find someone i can
trust so i'll always be
i'll always be alone

Great White Shark
04:45
|
|||
|
I'm in the dark and lost at sea
with a great white shark coming for me
it's curtain call and black is all I see
and worst of all I can't breathe
cause there's nothing at all in front of me
no future for me to believe
all it takes is a steady breeze
kindness carried on the trees
but the air is still
and nothing is green
i do my best to sow a patient seed
nothing extra, just what I need
so take your time
if you're feeling lonely
cause I'm in the dark and lost at sea
with a great white shark coming for me
it's curtain call and black is all I see
and worst of all I can't breathe
cause there's nothing at all in front of me
no future for me to believe
I'm a little bird in a nest I made
all by myself and I'm still afraid
I don't know
which path I should take
I want the brightest star in the sky
the one that shines all through the night
I wanna shine
like heaven's golden light
but I'm in the dark and lost at sea
with a great white shark coming for me
it's curtain call and black is all I see
and worst of all I can't breathe
cause there's nothing at all in front of me
no future for me to believe

Strange Dreams
04:48
|
|||
|
I love the way you want me
there are some nights that haunt me
mornings I can't turn around
ringing ears that I can't stand
I can see another way
only sometimes, not today
crossing wires in my brain
I wake up and it feels strange
it never ever helps me sleep
it never ever helps me eat
and if I'm patient I can beat it
but I'd have to see it
go away and come back stronger
vacation getting longer
and while it's been away
I've been trying to say
I saved you a place
I saved you a place
I saved you a place
I wouldn't listen it'll get you down
give it a minute it'll show you around
something brighter than the sun
burning up everyone
do you feel afraid
of what you want to say
it's the end of the world
but I've heard better stories told
I've been living a dream
not the best one it seems
caught in old memories
get high and then fall asleep
what the world means to me
changes almost daily
and nothing is what it seems

Down
03:59
|

|
I'm drowning in the water
fishes swimming over my ahead
floating above
looks like I'ma wind up dead
this weight is gonna kill me
it's gonna try and bring me down
open my mouth
but I can't make a sound, I'm
Down
Down
Down
Down
I wish I was a crocodile
I'd sharpen my teeth every day
I wish I was an alligator
I'd make sure I got paid
they're lowering the hook now
they're gonna try to bring me in
it's all up to me now
I'm gonna have to learn to swim
Down
Down
Down
Down

Quietness
05:13
|
|||
|
the quietness of a prius gets
in the way of the words I've saved
I'm nothing new
and nothing to you
the blackout blinds and the safeway sign
stay true to prove there's nothing new
that can't be shut out
or put up on a shelf
so I write to you and I think it through
but the letters sent without a stamp
can't make it down the hallway
to your door
they say it's summer here and I won't drink beer
cause it makes me sad and I still can't feel
there's no one new
and nothing to do
so while you try to figure
all those things out in your head
you make good friends with doctors,
long white halls and uncomfortable beds
every broken promise
quickly sinks itself like lead
don't know what you wanted
before you wanted to be dead
we all try to find the time
to waste our lives on friday nights
but they slip so quickly
deep into our minds
I go back just like a diver might
below the surface with a neon light
in hopes that I can find
some way through
and on the other side is a child like
the one I was when I had no right
to think that any miracle
needed proof
caught in those seas of memories
is a whisper carried on the breeze
that says "I'd be movin' on
if I was you"
so while you try to work out
everything that's in your head
you make good friends with doctors,
long white halls and uncomfortable beds
every little promise
quickly sinks itself like lead
don't know what you wanted
before you wanted to be dead
everyone is holding their breath for you
hope that you'll make it through
though the adderall is nothing new
and the acid was so good to you
I am starting to understand
that living's not in everyone's plans

Lonely
04:02
|
|||
|
sometimes I feel so lonely
when everyone has gone away
and sometimes I can be only
half of what I'd like to be
cause I'm stuck in this town
and I'm stuck on the ground
and I'm stuck in my head
and it's hard to pretend
that anyone could be
anything like me
feels like I am the last
of a dying breed
so sometimes I feel so lonely
walls caving in, I move so slowly
it's getting better but only
when I can see where I'm going
I'm floating far from my body
watching my hands as they ignore me
and watching the TV's boring
closing my eyes, I'll sleep through the morning
cause I'm stuck in this town
and I'm stuck on the ground
and I'm stuck in my head
and it's hard to pretend
that anyone could be
anything like me
feels like I am the last
of a dying breed
