Open Up

What's the nicest way to say "I'm done caring"
In a little while you'll smile and give up the fighting
I've sunk so much time in this climb
That though I'm still sinking, I'd rather do that than be with you
It's been a while now since I opened you up
Strike another nerve, you deserve to be lonely
I can't wait for you to fall through 'cause you miss him
Picking up the parts for a new start
And though I am lost now it's better than being found with you
It's been a while now since I opened you up
Don't say that I told you so
I'm done, I'm done

Carry On (And On...)
02:20
|
|||
|
Up or down, I'm losing ground
I'm out of bounds
Flagrantly vain
If I fall don't stop at all
Keep what you've drawn
Leave me to catch my breath
It's in the way she talks to me
It's on the faces of all I see
It's in the way we carry on and on and on and on and
In good time I'll take what's mine
It's nothing divine
That ship has sailed
Far from here, we disappear
We have no fear
Talk for the first time
('Cause I'm listening now!)
It's in the way she talks to me
It's on the faces of all I see
It's in the way we carry on and on and on and on and...

Boyfriend

I don't love you so much that I'd lie
I could never love you if I tried
All you really want is the night life
It doesn't even matter who you're beside
You could spend hours on your hair
Just to make sure people care
All that really matters is who stares
There was no reason for me to be there
It's the way you know
'Cause I know it's the way you wanna go
Take a look away from your phone
You might even realize you're all alone
How could you think that a brick wall
Could be something I'd come to love
It's the way you know
'Cause I know it's the way you wanna go

Audrey Hepburn
02:31
|

Boy you're not the first to say you've fallen in love with Audrey Hepburn
Like you did with all the other girls
You'd take them home in your head but then you got burned
Nothing that you didn't deserve
You'll be fine the next day
And it's like it never happened in the first place
Tell your friends that it was all her fault
'Cause you don't even care that much anyway
You've got all the right answers to questions you have had since you were just a kid
No better prepared to answer them now than when you first were kissed
I'm not any different
I'm a narcissist who can't even admit it
When we're grown, we'll live in separate houses
And it will be like you never existed
Nothing that I don't deserve
(I don't deserve) a girl who likes me for the reasons I like her
I've said too much
You've said not enough
Speaking my mind is my biggest flaw
So I'll bite my tongue and let the silence hang

Well if you loved him so much
Never mind that laundry list
How'd we ever find ourselves here
If you swore you never missed
You never, no never
Would've come this close to tears
Remember, remember
I'm no good as your pastor's ears
We know, we know
And it really goes to show
That you can't burn away
All the flags that fly over your broken throne
When it comes time for a purge
And will there ever be
when they condemn your whole lot
I'll bring the kerosene
I'll betray, betray you
Without a second thought
No keepsakes, erase you
Then you'll see what you've really got
We know, we know
And it really goes to show
That I can burn away
Anything that to my core I truly loathe
Oh, God are you at fault
I am climbing over walls to the other side
Is this just my being
You owe some explaining to the ostracized
We know, we know
And it really goes to show
That we can't turn away
From the things that anchor us to softer tones
It really goes to show
It really goes to show
We can't turn away

Life After Death
01:19
|
|||
|
When they lay me down to rest
With my arms crossed o'er my chest
Rotting in my Sunday best
Soon to join the forgotten rest
It's then that I can resurface
If just one person finds this
These words, these demos, my music
I live on if they persist
A common inclination
Fighting the inevitable conclusion
So do not weep as I'm lowered down
It won't be hard to keep me around
So let me rest

Confess!
02:59
|
|||
|
Dream on, accept what I've done for you girl
Now it's time, confess it, you felt sure
Each day I look to your past
We would test each other every night through your smile
We won't know why our heart thins and captures our minds
But you weren't having much fun after a while
Wistful are your sighs rolling off your tongue
Deaf to facts we try to live outside

First Week of January
02:41
|
|||
|
Off to where I leave you
I need to be alone
Here is where I've been to
I've seen you, it's grown old
You have fully shown me
The only perfect soul
I can't explain why
I must try this on my own
I've been unfair
I'm aware, I'll atone
Just give me the option
I'm starting on my own
On my own

Distance (Interlude)
02:22
|
|||
|
My point is this: if people miss me
And now I have to try as hard as I can to let myself be okay with one person liking me
I hate talking to girls, they're so much prettier than me, they're so much cooler than me
And why should they care if I left
And no one would know
And no one would notice
And no one would be able to tell
But they would be happy
And I'm afraid to make friends, mostly because I know she won't like them, and mom wouldn't want me hanging around the bars
But I should've met more people tonight
I could've made some new friends tonight
And now I'm lying down with her
But she's right here and so I should hide my feelings
It's too hard making friends
It's harder maintaining them
I want to be alone for the rest of my life but I'll wake up tomorrow and convince myself to stay positive
They're all friends, and I'm alone, and I'm tired of trying
And all the girls that I said "I love you" to played my mind and soul
But they've got no soul at all
The other ones have no soul at all
And I hate them with all of my heart, but I miss their touch

Oh I Said It
03:15

Oh she said it, she said it well
How he's 28, a hipster, and a pretty good kisser
When I answered I laughed to myself
You say you're happy now but your heart says something else to me
I'll stay here and wait
'Til you throw away that picture frame, that picture frame
Oh I said, I said it well
It was only a few months and it was all in my head
I didn't believe what you said
But we should still hold hands and ignore the falling sand
I can, I can dig a grave for my dead dreams
I can fill it with all my feelings, all my feelings
I bet my heart will beat on
Without my dreams, without her words
And this how hearing works, how listening works
What all of this is worth
A dream of her is all I have
If I wasn't average
If I was more attractive
I'm so full of pity
Will you wallow with me
Wallow with me
Oh she said it, she said it well
How he's 28, a hipster, and a pretty good kisser
When I answered I laughed to myself
You say you're happy now but your heart says something else to me
I can dig a grave for my dead dreams
I can fill it with all my feelings, all my feelings

I found my god in a blind man's backyard
He made his living through a god he never touched nor saw
And when I joined him each day, I never saw any more than he
A sometimes vociferous god, and sometimes an absent, silent lull
Unannounced and always vague enough to, to let you down
I'm down
I thought purpose was a call to service
And yet impressions of god were never meant for more than one
I could tell you what makes it only my god
And I've met plenty others who could never stay for long
40 days and 40 nights I tried, and it worked
It worked!

Threats, Not Promises
02:33
|
|||
|
I'd keep the half-empty glass
And I'd cut the fabric of the past
But I won't come back
No I won't come back
I'd catch a break and take her home
I'd trespass just to skip some stones
I'd watch the static clear the sky
But I'd never set foot outside
Behind the steel door
When caspases degrade my soul
Well it's been fun as you would know
This is that hallelujah moment
I've been through tears with dad
(A simpler, sadder side of me)
I had a memory of you
(Stays in my heart just like the sea)
But I won't come back
(I'd tell a pastor what went wrong)
No I won't come back
(But I'd never let him think of calling)

The Abstract
02:53
|
|||
|
The corners where people miss me
And now I have to try to harness the abstract
And bite my tongue that you carry with me
It's obvious that sometimes I say what I'm thinking and not what I mean
I'm so much colder than what I mean
And if I left, call my work phone
But I'm faulting waypoints
The worst thing is my own ship won't hold up
Time will not want you hanging around the halls
I should've met more people tonight
I could've painted some
It's obvious that sometimes I say what I'm thinking and not what I mean
I'm so much colder than what I mean
And if I left, call my work phone
