Lightning Shoes
03:59
|

|
It's hard but I'm trying
to keep my passions from dying
to keep my brain from frying
I can't do it alone
ah
Me, I'm a phantom in these streets
No one else wants to see
no one else wants to get near me
walking, like a paper bag of dreams
shit in and set on fire
so that someone else could be mean
ah
you, you put lightning in my shoes
and make it impossible to lose
and make sure that I stay true
keeping compassion from dying
my cranium from frying
I guess I know I need you.
ah

Happy

I am happy
there's no reason that I shouldn't be
I am happy
cus that's what I'm supposed to be
I am happy
You can see it in the lines on my face
I am happy
maybe they'll believe me if I don't leave this place
but I have to, it's the only thing that keeps me from moving on
if I have to, will you let me go in peace
I am happy as can be!
when I'm alone I can't stop talking in my sleep
cus I'm happy
I am happy as can be!
When I'm alone it feels that there's people all around me
cus I'm happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I AM HAPPY

Chronologic
05:10
|
|||
|
the days are too long, or maybe thats all wrong
because the time it moves differently, since the world has moved on
and our youth is gone, it so with us and our songs
and we sing our hearts out, we will be forever young
what are you waiting for?

Serpentine
04:20
|
|||
|
I didn't tell him he's not mine
but he comes round all of the time
tell him lies so he won't whine
you can see I'm serpentine
I told him that I could be his
those feelings just did not exist
suck his blood and his free will through this
give him feelings he will miss
can't tell if he's in love or taken away
but he won't leave now so lets get him to stay
and he won't go today
but he might get smart if you give him space
I dropped my guard and let her in
she fucked me over made me dim
and make it so much easier to live
but our time was growing thin
I asked her what she thought that night
I think I caught her by surprise
told me she loved me but she lied,
now I stay out of her sight
can't tell if he's in love or taken away
but he won't leave now so lets get him to stay
and he won't go today
but he might get smart if you give him space

Dead Ends
04:14
|
|||
|
thought that you were a friend
we only ever hit dead ends
told you an eye for an eye
you only ever told me disgusting lies
thought you'd be compassionate
but ignorance is the only thing I'll get
told me an eye for an eye
now you're standing in front of me telling me to go and die
WOO!
HEY!
AH!
I don't need you anyway!

Partial to Marshall
05:24

black hair, dark as night
soaking in color and light
erasing the moon and stars
made to forget who you are
I see it coming after me
I see it screaming for me
blonde hair, blue eyes bright
invigorate, demon eyes
castrating my broken heart
waiting for life to start
I see it coming after me
I see it screaming for me

Puddley
03:15
|
|||
|
see, suddenly
the road, puddley
my mind, gullibly
not taking the time
to keep track of my life
so utterly
my hands, callousing
with all, this practicing
my legs, running
from all of the trouble
my decisions keep on
encompassing
and you know I care,
whether or where, and when I'm not there
write six hundred songs
all about how I know I don't belong
drop into 5th gear
my fingers know me best and I have no fear
write three million words
when will my intellect just let me learn
I know my friends struggle with their competence
sometimes so do I, I lose track of my common sense
but nothing feels worse than dying without purpose & excellence
mediocrity is a perfect example of pestilence
life, questionable
death, inevitable
my mind, gullible
to wonderful romanticisms of life, oh so troubleful..
and you know I care,
whether or where, and when I'm not there
write six hundred songs
all about how I know I don't belong
drop into 5th gear
my fingers know me best and I have no fear
write three million words
when will my intellect just let me learn

why can't I talk to people?
I don't know how to talk to people
I dont know whats wrong with me.

The Walls You Build
06:41
|
|||
|
Running, Running away
From something, something that isn't even there anyway
Searching, searching away
Searching for something you'll never find if you dont learn to step outside
Of these walls you build that stand so high and you treat them like they were not your design
Hiding, hiding away.
Hiding yourself and any thoughts that you had in the first place.
Trying, trying to change
Thrying to change things that were never up to you in the first place so you hide behind
Walls you build that stand so high and you treat them like they were not your design
I need something to keep my head from coming off my shoulders
I need something to keep my head from coming unglued
