I Don't Mind 03:30
I don’t mind the things you say I’ve been feeling fine since you went away I could fall in like and do what you say Or I could run and hide ’til the end of the day Throw me in the gutter baby, make me feel alright All we ever want is to get by Who am I? Who are you?
2.
Take Away 02:48
Who’s looking in your direction? I hope that you see me there, you make it so hard to breathe In the light of all I’m living ‘Cause all that I see I fear, It’s just too heavy for me somedays All I’m asking if will you come take me away? I won’t bend, won’t listen to a word you say Who’s standing in all the long lines? And falling on bended knee, you must be so hard to please In the earliest of evenings I know that you think of me, you’re just too foolish to see somedays All I’m asking is will you come take me away I won’t bend, won’t listen to a word you say You could break, but all I want to say Is you could take, but won’t you listen any other way Lord I’ve tried so hard to reach you You give but you take away, it’s just a poison to me somedays

It’s funny how people all tend to miss The people that leave them on evenings like this And it’s funny how often we still believe We fall for ourselves and the tricks up our sleeves I’m not who wants me and I’m not who I want I’m just what’s left of all the things I’ve forgot I get lazy and busy, I’ve been happy and blue But I’m nothing without what I’ve since learned from you It’s true nothing replaced you but heartache and wine And a memory that lingers around from time to time And a notion that everything around seems to be fine Till I hear sudden silence, the heart that stopped was mine It’s a shame to be leaving this blossoming noon But someday be thankful for parting so soon Ain’t it funny how people will lend you a kiss I gladly accept them on evenings like this I’ll admit nothing replaced you but heartache and wine And a memory that lingers around from time to time and a notion that everything around seems to be fine Till I hear sudden silence, the heart that stopped was mine

I wanted to cry but instead I drank pesticide How could everything now just go without strawberry pie I’m killing my time my plants all have died and everything’s fine You told me it’s true I would be fine too so where do sign And every dewfall’s led by two unmade beds And when I do fall it’s with you in my head I slept in my clothes, cornet’s morose, blacken my eyes And punch on in once again. I’d say we were friends, but then I’d have lied And every dewfall’s led by two unmade beds And when I do fall it’s with you in my head Why does everyone say she’s only the day, the nighttime awaits When none other than one shines bright as the sun as morning time breaks
5.
What is it that you meant to say? When time passes slowly you’re okay But everything seems to fade away Into nothingness Into nothing On your own Whatever that you saw your eyes are not mine Give it a week to fall, my mind is not right What is it that you’re living for? Your friends are all gone, your jobs a bore And nothing is moving anymore Towards anything Towards something You’re alone Whatever that you want, your desires are not mine Give it a week to fall, my mind is not right
6.
Not For You 03:22
So she calls and tells me it’s okay But it’s been a long long time Since I could separate the days It’s the hardest part of life What’s the use in trying to explain If I’m so beneath you now? When I was younger I could wait It’s the brighter side of me But not for you Count down the reasons I should stay As I’m walking out your door What a useless gesture what a waste Of the brighter side of life But not for you Think of what has come to pass And I’m not there I could hardly stand to say your name
7.
Daisies #4 03:40
When you were looking down at me was it easier to see me on my knees, was it easier for you? And is a tree a tree if it’s cut down, lying on the ground around the fallen leaves, is it anything to you? A flower in the hand simply dies at your command A piece of glass cuts through the sand and into you A single match is lit, a moving target for you to it Was just a mirror all along hidden from view Is a carpet burn concern when you see the ashes in the urn, a broken vase, the time to learn that the problem was you But when you were looking back at me what did you see, the needles in my feet, were they all showing through? A flower in the hand simply dies at your command A piece of glass cuts through the sand and into you A single match is lit, a moving target for you to it Was just a mirror all along hidden from view We’ve believed the power up our sleeves could leave a flower for to grieve an open casket for to breathe ‘Cause we’ve conceived the emptiness in me, an open curtain call to grieve, to breathe the life back into we
8.
What’s the matter with the ticking clock? Does it never stop? What’s the point in drinking every last drop? You’ll get what I got Oh love If you do what you’ve always done You’re gonna end up where you belong I’ve been looking for a room with a view A good pair of shoes and a sky bright and blue My lonely lovers in a seaside tomb She spoke with the moon just a little too soon Oh my If you can’t keep up with the time You’ll be alone till the day you die Here she comes now here she comes now And you’ll wait all day All we loves been lost And everything looks dark and grey There she go now there she go now Was she ever even here? I’m not one for love But I’ll take it as it comes my way
9.
Tail Lights 04:00
Way out here nobody’s lonely And to themselves there’s no one else Way out here nobody knows me Seems I don’t even know myself In the darkness there’s no shadow In the light it’s plain as day In the day it’s bright as glass gold With some sort of blind man in the rain The kinds of reds like in the tail lights Get to your head all just the same There’s no help if you don’t want it Spend my days looking through a screen There’s no hell if you confront it What does hell even mean? The kinds of reds like in the tail lights Burn just as bright as roaring flame The kinds of reds like in the tail lights Get to your head all just the same
10.
Hey sister sweetly Could you release me I’ve got dangling apparitions in my eyes Cut down and broken Old wounds reopened Am I only just as brave as you desire? Call it love or call it hapless circumstance Hand in glove with the one you’re dreaming of in your eyes And you’ll remain optimistic As the world around you burns and true love dies But no matter what you say I am still your friend Or is it only just to prove what you deny? What’s the point in breathing? I don’t wanna choose All you know is the pain of being used in your eyes Was it mine? Give it enough space and some time Give it some words and make them rhyme Give it a name and we’ll be fine Well I’m alone now I’m almost home now I can barely hear the echoes of your lies Or We’ll go back to what we have always done Hand in glove with the one you’re dreaming of in your eyes
