Fool
02:47

Let out a word
You never heard
It's in my head
Let out a scream
Inside a dream
Remember when?
Don't be faithful
It won't look good on you
I looked good on you
Held in a thought
Like I was taught
Once when I felt
You looked at me
Seductively
I'll never tell
With only the trees watching you and me
And only the moon lighting the innocence of youth
With only the trees watching you and me
And only the moon lighting the innocence
Of what used to be our youth
The moment passed us by
That May night I almost felt again
(You looked like a fool)

All Nighter

I never wanted you to go
I just wanted you to know for sure
That I miss you desperately
And I pray that you'll come to your senses
And hurry on back to me
I've been waiting all night
I've been waiting for you all night
I never wanted you to cry
I never really wanted you to say goodbye
Cuz I think you're beautiful
And despite what you said
I'm confident that you love me still
I never wanted to hurt
Didn't intend to offend
I'm sorry if you misheard my words
They longer on and on
Don't underestimate your smile
Don't underestimate yourself
Cuz you're beautiful

Year Of Low Morale
03:58

Save me from the man I am
I'd bleed to make you understand
Cave out a mind that's full of doubt
Come clean - I see it going south
And I can pray to you if you want me to
Save me from the pessimist
It doesn't matter to me
What about me?
Stand in line to fight your Tuesday war
What about me
And the reasons I was brought here for?
I did everything you asked
And I completed every task
What about me?
What about you?
The union is formed
Save face!
Take me and hide me under dirt
I'd scream - misheard a dirty word
I'm yours in love and death and sin
Breathe out so I can breathe you in
So what can I say to you?
I'll be gone soon
So take me to the hypocrite
It won't much matter to me
What about me?
Had impressions I was worth much more
What about me?
What's mine is ours, what's yours is yours
You got everything everything you planned
As I caved in to your demands
What about me?
What about you?
A rumour is born
Save face!
(Already let you in)

Numbskull
03:56
|

|
What are the chances the circumstances
Could leave me holding on too long?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could turn a right into a wrong?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could make me dumb and numb and cold?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could make me do what I was told?
I know it's a game
But I don't want to play this hand
We said never again
Our friends could never understand
You tear me apart
You tear me apart
What are the chances the circumstances
Could break the tension on my face?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could correct all my mistakes?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could make me sordid, bored and dead?
What are the chances the circumstances
Could make me anything instead?

Leave
03:23
|
|||
|
I don't know anything
But I know deception hides
Throw everything away
Until there's nothing left inside
But you won't say what you're thinking
Cut me open to feel the pain
I only wanted this to be the same
Cut me open to drift away
Maybe in another time or place
The confidence I employed
Came to leaving me in time
You were so overjoyed
Left with no one standing by my side
But you won't say what you're thinking
You had your way with me
Lost all integrity
Thought this was meant to be
Now I want you to leave
I want you to leave

Tomcat
02:46
|

|
The cat's outta the bag
And it's starving for meat
In a maze of thoughts
And hypocrisy
A target in my sights
It looks a lot like you
Can we make this rumour true?
Do you think of me when you're all alone?
A history that I cannot condone
Pictures fade to jaded memories
Has life brought you to your knees?
The cat's outta the bag
And it's broken the leash
Let a secret slip
You're coming on to me
Regret in my sights
It looks a lot like you
I think that you need this, too

Lies And Alibis
03:39
|
|||
|
Wait - I didn't mean to sound unfair
It's just that everywhere I stare I see you making this world worse
Great - I hear you're doing other things
In almost every song I sing there's mention of your deception, dear
But no one wants to hate a mom
Not where we come from
Hiding safe behind some words I wrote
And now I know I don't
Want to hate a mom
Not where I come from
Your lies rained down on me like flames
But I don't think it's hate
Hey - I didn't mean to sound insane
It's just I need someone to blame for every thing that's happened since
So stay the fuck away from me
Over the last decade I prayed and waited almost patiently
Your eyes - they caught me by surprise
My eyes are blue but they see red

Walls
03:41
|
|||
|
Wait - I'm not all right
I feel the weight of the world on these shoulders of mine
Fake another day
We start to fade into a memory that's been torn and thrown away
It's not okay
Because every time they break us
We'll try twice as hard to make us
And the walls we've built around us keep us safe
We will wonder why we fear it
When we're lucky to be near it
And the walls we've built around us keep us safe
I'll keep you safe
Take another way
Caught up in shame and emotions that are hard to put away
Late - it's far too late
Don't hesitate to remember what we were both like in those days

Pedestal
02:32
|
|||
|
Wake up - I think you're living a dream
And you'd scream a lullaby
By now you probably pissed it away
You're downplayed and ostracized
I've never been so afraid
But I'm afraid it's too late
Too late to tell you to change
Back then I'd let it slide for a bit
It's bullshit and consequence
You hide - the past is rearing its head
And that said - I'll meet you there
I've never been so afraid
But I'm afraid it's too late
Too late to tell you to change
I can see the devil in you
And if the rumours are true
Then what's a man to do?
Stand up and be the man that you claim
But you say it's not your fault
Today tomorrow gets in your way
Knocked off your self-made pedestal

Now, Tonight
03:52

I wonder what you're thinking now
You called me out and yet somehow
I didn't mean to break your heart
How did that even start?
Don't fight
I need you here tonight
I need you here
I left a note outside your door
You're not so certain anymore
Am I the man you thought you knew?
I did all I could do

I can't say I'm thankful quite enough
After all you've done for me
You rescued both me and my cat
How can I compete with that?
And you're the only one for me
I can't say I love you quite enough
And I think you feel the same
You opened up my heart and mind
I never thought that I could find
A time when I could feel this way
I got you to hold my hand
You got me to finally understand
That you're my home
You are my home
You're my home
You are my home
I don't deserve a second chance
But here you are
If you're ever needing to confide
I swear to you that I am on your side
Cuz I'm your home
I am your home
I'm your home
Like you're my home
