Walking Down the Road

I see you
Come around me
Now you're driving by
This city
Is nearing
This lighting
Is so blinding
Just hurry
don’t deny
I see you running
To say Goodbye
What is left
This is more
What is gone
I see you
Walking down the road
I feel
This is real
What it may
What it all shall be
Come sundown
You feel rundown
You want to stay
I know what to say
Whats missing
Is something
You are slightly
compromising
I see you
Come around me
Now i’m driving by
Walking Down the road
I see you again
What really calms is inside
What really drives me now
What's left inside
Is it me you compromise?
Walking Down the road

Divided Unity
05:01
|
|||
Acrobatics on a tight rope, one inch off the ground
Unlikely luck, the deaf can feel sound
Plainly apathetic, because chaos is beautiful
Abundant spiritual poverty, monkeys can use tools
With the apathetic interest, and my humble arrogant ways,
I balance my own insanity, with a casual formality
My heart is burning true,
Through colourlessly (motley crew)
Because everything is lost
As the world is criss-crossed
For what goes up, must surely fall
When it’s mother on the line
No one takes her call
Too late you've never gone away
Too late you're someday, you're not ok
I said never enough, you said never enough
Never enough
Consistently inconsistent, with critical acclaim
Explicitly ambiguous, pretend you’re not the same
Diminutive giants, diligent in our own sloth
Cheerfully cynical, the valid replica
For what goes up, must surely fall
When it’s mother on the line
No one takes her call
Too late you've never gone away
Too late you're someday, you're not ok
I said never enough, you said never enough
Said never enough
Binging on moderation, are the phonies of truth
Abundant spiritual poverty, monkeys can use tools
Please proceed with caution, it is dangerously safe
And if you’re a deaf listener, something might just penetrate
But use circumvention, from point A onto point B
For doubting our believers, in divided Unity

Careless
03:17
|

Here’s the thing we started out real nice
But we couldn’t see, cause we couldn't see, cause were blinded, you left me
Here’s the thing we started out by friends
But by the time of twelve we couldn't be, because we ended
Here’s what we tried
This thing you did to me
You did so carelessly
You meant so much to me
You broke my heart into three
You didn’t even care, couldn’t stop and stare
You broke my heart into pieces,
And now I’m left to pick up the pieces
You did, all these things that were kind of cute
I even made you this little tribute
But you only looked away
You even missed my birthday
Here’s the thing we should of only been friends
I look around seeing you with all your boyfriends
You just laugh at me (Ha ha!), with all your gross acne
This thing you did to me
You did so carelessly
You meant so much to me
You broke my heart into three
You didn’t even care, couldn’t stop and stare
You broke me heart into pieces,
And now I’m left to pick up the pieces
I probably got what I deserved, or maybe not
I just needed you to apologize to me
You Fucking Bitch
This thing you did to me
You did so carelessly
You meant so much to me
You broke my heart into three
You didn’t even care, couldn’t stop and stare
You broke me heart into pieces,
And now I’m left to pick up the pieces

How Do You See Me
04:03
|
|||
I know you shake things off
I know you’re in too deep
So you go acting this way
Even without any delay
This whole time confronted me
Even you are who's distracting
I feel as this was fate
Like as if you were always were awake
How do you see me?
Inside I’m bleeding
I’m gasping for air
Outside I’m slightly
So slightly
Why did we break apart?
I feel that I finally need you
And for the last five years
I feel that I finally failed you
I hope you’re watching down
Down on us
I’m wondering how you see me
I’m mixed up so completely
How do you see me?
Inside I’m bleeding
I’m gasping for air
Outside I’m slightly
So slightly
How do you see me?
Inside i'm bleeding
I'm gasping for air
Outside i'm slightly
So slightly
How do you see me?

Take a Picture
03:29
|

I know you couldn’t see
What it meant eventually
Been a long year
You couldn’t believe
Why I couldn’t do this
Here I am
Take a picture
So you can drown yourself to sleep
Here I am
Take a picture
You can keep it longer
Here I am
Drowned inside
You don’t care
Then why should I
Hold my breath
Close my eyes
I think I’m lying down
All your secrets
Here I am
Take a picture
So you can drown yourself to sleep
Here I am
Take a picture
You can keep it longer
Please take her hand
Off that ledge
I don’t think you know what you’re doing again
Please take her hand
Off that ledge
I don’t think you belong in this photo album
Here I am
Take a picture
So you can drown yourself to sleep
Here I am
Take a picture
You can keep it longer
Take a picture

Home
04:48
|

Far away from nowhere I turn away
I can’t remember what to say
Follow me to a time where I know a way
Just a chance that I can turn it around
I want to go home, back again
I’m coming home
Gently I will wait till the time comes
I can’t wait till yesterday was found
I was remembering the time when I was young
I still see the time when I could still feel it
I still want to go home
Back again
Back to a time
I couldn’t describe
I’m coming home
I had this smile when I was back and true with moments with you
Even when I didn’t know what felt close to me and you
Back to a time and place that was simpler in time
This feeling I hide, deep inside I don’t know why or how it’s gotten to be this way
I'm coming home

Something's Missing
05:04
|

Cocktail coming from a waitress,
in her little sundress she’s so fine and sweet
Caught up in a mile, she’s in denial; I’m just standing there in line
She’s so fine and sweet, she’s mine to keep, I am coming from the ninth street
With the rain falling hard, I turn around and I’m caught off guard
By this well radiant and all smile girl.
I see her resting her eyes, in this fairytale
Hoping that there is more than what we read on
I’m just taking my order; she just takes my eyes,
Maybe I should of ordered something then a coke and some French fries
I’m trying to be all witty; I know I’m amusing
She just smiles and waves, I know something’s missing
I’m trying to sit here, dreaming of us two,
maybe in a few years, even have a few clues
Any time of day, any given week,
I know that I can be there with my puny physique
I see her resting her eyes, in this fairytale
Hoping that there is more than what we read on
I’m just taking my order; she just takes my eyes,
Maybe I should of ordered something then a coke and some french fries
I’m trying to be all witty; I know I’m amusing
She just smiles and waves, I know something’s missing
I know I tried, I wrote out my own number,
on that greasy napkin, she crumbled into the garbage
Even left her the tax for the tip, I know when I tell my friends,
They'll tell me not to eat that bean dip
I see her resting her eyes, in this fairytale
Hoping that there is more than what we read on
I’m just taking my order; she just takes my eyes,
Maybe I should of ordered something then a coke and some french fries
I’m trying to be all witty; I know I’m amusing
She just smiles and waves, I know something is missing

Yesterday
05:34
|

I really need to know
About a girl I met that day
I really like that feeling
That she left with me
I will, I will
But today I will come clean (I will)
Yesterday was you with me (You with me)
Why can’t you remember?
Why can’t you discover what we've seen (We have seen)?
Yesterday was you with me
Yesterday was you with me
I really need to know
I really need to see why
Why are you not next to me?
I really miss your skin
I really can’t hold within
But today I will come clean (I will)
Yesterday was you with me (You with me)
Why can’t you remember?
Why can’t you discover what we've seen
I remember that look you gave
Mesmerized in just a gaze
While the sun just shined on you
Just that day you knew I’d be with you (Yesterday)
But today I will come clean (I will come clean)
Yesterday was you with me (You with me)
Why can’t you remember?
Yesterday was you and me

Crash
02:55
|
|||
It’s late on a Friday night,
You don’t hesitate
He just got paid last night
I hope it won't start a fight
Walking to the table he’s looking outside
Looking through his jacket; they’re nowhere in sight
Just throwing things, he can’t find his keys
He grabs them off the floor, he's pushing out the door
He’s (underage with a fake ID )
Workers at the store don’t take him seriously
He just stole forty dollars worth
Out on the streets he’s just a mess
Falling all over, this is not a test
Jumps into the car and turns it on,
Speeds out on the highway, with the music on
He’s out alone, and no one cares
Without a thought, hope he won't get caught
He's out alone
He’s out of sight
He’s swerving,
He’s sliding, and brakes
Crash into life
Like broken shadows
Pulls out like a knife
Every broken dream
We only share
Life’s so fragile
That you can’t compare
Crash into life
Crash, crash, crash into life
Crash, Crash
Into life

Pushed Away
02:39
|
|||
Down by the bottom it’s a shock that this is real
Way back I began this list as this was so surreal
I know, I know, I know this is without delay
We are, we are, we are just pushed away
I can’t, I wont, I know you'll see one day
This is, or was, a new pushed away. Pushed away
You think you know me but you don’t know yourself
You think this is child’s play, and now you’re just yourself
I know, I know, I know you’ll see one day
This is, or was a new pushed away
I can’t, I wont, I know you’ll see one day
This is, or was, a new pushed away. Pushed away
I can't, I won't, I know you'll see one day
This is, or was, a new pushed away. Pushed away
Pushed away

I Won't Give In
05:19
|
|||
I wont break down
This had a problem
We never solved yet
Left with no regret
It was black and white
Even at first sight
It was all mistaken
Now we'll end our faith
I wont give in again
Another sad sin
Always taking shit
Now we can all begin
I wont give in again
It’s all so fresh within
I won't, I won't give in
We never used to say
It was all plus delay
Now we're always our fate
Now we're always too late
Animosity
Generosity
Just a waste of time
Now we're end of this
I wont give in again
Another sad sin
Always taking shit
Now we can all begin
I wont give in again
It’s all so fresh within
I won't, I won't give in
Give in, Give in
I won't give in
I won't give in
No I won't
I won't give in
We cannot begin
We cannot begin
We cannot begin
Oh no we cannot begin
We cannot begin
We cannot begin
We cannot, we cannot
I won't give in again
Another sad sin
Always taking shit
Now we can all begin
I won't give in again
It's all so fresh within
I won't, I won't give in
Give in, give in, give in again

One Big TV
04:47

This life I see
Is wasting away
, but tomorrow
Is what I’m looking for
This life I see
Is carried away
To embrace this
Fiction reality
These hours I spend
Is carried away
But what may see
You’re always wanting for free
It's one big tv
Do you need a Masters Degree?
What happened to society?
I need you to see
In what may need an admission fee
My views. My choice
Never forget the way
We’ll watch on a rainy day
My life my choice
This is how it gets real
Refuse the way
We escape election day
This world has gone Type B
What we need
My one big tv
My views are meant to change
Let’s trade security on a stock exchange
All this reality in this TV
Clueless someone’s with some green tea
All these condos and broken cities
Walking around with plastic pretties
With men in suits that are worth wearing
Homeless folk saying “Thanks for sharing”
My one big Tv
It’s my One big TV
Channel 8 at a quarter past ten
This is what it is till the end
