Hey You
Once is not enough
Getting to my insecurity
It's always been too rough
Seems to get the best of me
My timing's all fucked up
Verging on a total breakdown
Before we self-destruct
Before you try to burn my house down
You should hear me out
Hey You! Why can't you tell me that you're lonely too
Hey You! Why can't you tell me that you love me too
Not much going on
But neither one of us could make time
To fix the damage done
Make me out to be the bad guy
This used to be more fun
Or maybe I was high the first time
We're starting from square one
And tell me what you want to feel like...and it's alright
Hey You! Why do you tell me that you're lonely too
Hey You! Why do you tell me that you love me too

Geisha Girl
I've got a friend who was at wit's end
He tried love but his heart broke down
Fearing the worst his response at first
Was to call on the geisha girl
Don't even know where it's coming from
Feeling things that he can't define
Still, standing there fully unaware
In the trance of the geisha girl
Fell in love with the geisha girl
She's the only girl who brings joy when she speaks to you
Nothing in the would could mean more than she means to you
Right where you belong when she bends over back for you
From this moment on this is where it is at for you
How can he help how his feelings felt?
She had grace and a cultured mind
Dressed to impress like an Emperess
Perfect taste and a face sublime
Drink, dance, sing she was born and raised to entertain
Try as he might he just couldn't fight
His desire for the geisha girl
Fell in love with the geisha girl
She's the only girl who brings joy when she speaks to you
Nothing in the would could mean more than she means to you
Right where you belong when she bends over back for you
From this moment on this is where it is at for you
Oh...and you can't stand the thought it
Knowing you're just a small part of it
No matter how you may care for her....
Tomorrow it's somebody new
That's what she's trained to do
Did you think it was only for you?

See Things As They Really Are
You can make your argument
From the halls of Parliament
Posterboy for punishment
Sounding like a bureaucrat
Selling that the world is flat
Never knowing where it's at
Changed your mind? Well fancy that!
Speaking your mind as it comes to you
Riding down a one-way track
Because it's always feel true when it touches you
Hits you when you're looking back
Are you seeing things as they really are?
Playing to your audience
Shower them with complements
Never mind the consequence
You can spend eternity
Writing your apology
But meaning it is everything

BACKFIRE
What I want to be is at the mercy of your actions
When you summon clarity it emerges more as passion
"Not today you"
What I know is you have a custom of trying to win my favor
Put on a pretty face
Stand up and make your case
But we know it's too late...that will backfire
Up on your feet again
Act like a gentleman
But we know in the end...that will backfire
I can always call the move as the situation's shaping
What may appear as a boundary here is the action that I'm taking
"Not today you"
Curling up in your frustration and you take your swipes at me

Promise To Burn

Promise to Burn
Hurts more than you know
Seeing there is so far to go
Lock myself inside
These things tend to multiply
Seems like the gravest weight is in my heart today
And I can't put the thought away
Wearing it on my sleeve
Is there no more relief?
This is the hour of my greatest need
And when the room stops spinning
A new beginning
With all things even
For what it's worth, I had promise to burn
Silent is my dream of being what I ought to be
All the work I've done
I'm calling out to anyone
Seems like the gravest weight is in my heart today
And I can't put the thought away
Wearing it on my sleeve
Is there no more relief?
This is the hour of my greatest need
And when the room stops spinning
A new beginning
With all things even
For what it's worth, I had promise to burn

Just Like I Remember It

Just Like I Remember It
The miracle of memory
Just close your eyes to take care of everything.
No matter if it’s been too long
You can go back, just hearing that certain song.
Memories from a love affair
To be there again, a picture can take you there.
A rush runs through my veins....
Kind of like morphine back in the bloodstream
It’s amazing......It’s just like I remember it
I’m like an addict back at his habit’s call
It’s the cravings... It’s just like I remember it
Something’s got you like a drug
You can recall the feeling you’re dreaming of
By breathing in the evening air.
Triggers the time, reminders are everywhere.
But living in this deja vu just can’t compare
There’s only one thing to do...
A rush runs through my veins....

Living With The Static

Living with the Static
Holding down my curiosity
You are drunk with animosity
I know a place where I’m all alone
How does your heart pump blood that cold?
Hiding how I’m feeling
and the things that I’ve been dealing with
Living with the static
Monumental fussing but at best you won’t discuss it
I’m living with the static
I think nearly I’ve had it, it’s too traumatic
I’m living with the static
Is it any wonder with the pressure that I’m under that I’m panicked.
I will find things that mean more to me
When you’re high on your authority
I know a place where I’m all alone
How does your back not break from the weight?
Hiding how I’m feeling
and the things that I’ve been dealing with
Living with the static
Monumental fussing but at best you won’t discuss it
I’m living with the static
I think nearly I’ve had it, it’s too traumatic
I’m living with the static
Is it any wonder with the pressure that I’m under that I’m panicked.
I know a place where I’m all alone and I’m going.

A New Kind of Low
Here I go again
Isn't it a shame
Caught inside myself
Trying to explain
Isn't it a shame
I'm half way there
then I'm nowhere near
This must be a new kind of low
Impossible to fake it
Isn't it a shame
Here I go again
Isn't it a shame

The Very Marrow
I was just ten when the news came in
I remember the day ...December 8
I was up in my room just listening.
Come right here, don’t delay, have a seat right away
There’s some tragic news...I can’t find the words to use
At the scene, on TV, Is it true? Can it be?
“There has been a crime, and the man who changed your life
Well today that man has died...”
And I fell to the floor in disbelief
I said to myself, How can it be?
And the shock of it had gripped me
Where were they? What was seen? Who would do such a thing?
And I wondered why, as I watched the crowd arrive.....
Holding signs at his door “He will live forever more!”
But the bullets blazed.
As the tears ran down my face, I could hear the music play.
Years have passed, times have changed, but it still remains the same
Some things strike so deep as to effect the lives we keep
If he never came around tell me where would we be now???
After all these years....
It means more to me today
The songs still play

Monterey
Monterey I'm crazy for you
Am I just wasting time when it comes to us
Am I just a toy when it comes to love
Open your heart to me
Bleed out your misery
Monterey Marry me
Oh...
We can take the weight as long as it's together
All we would give is a piece of the rest of our lives
Oh...
I can see my life reflecting back from your eyes
Oh I can see that the future is gonna be fine
