Daughter

Maybe we should talk about this with your mother
my Madonna.
Which side of your face looks most like your mothers
you’re her daughter
And does it haunt you too?
Or is that ghost in you?
Cuz it haunts me too
But I think that ghost is you
You ask me if we’ve met before but know the answer
This aint no movie
But I think I’ll fake for now cuz you’re pretty
And I smile with my teeth
And does it haunt you too?
Or is that ghost in you?
Cuz it haunts me too
But I think that ghost is you
I cleaned up diamonds,
I cleaned up broken windows x 4
I ask you how you got in here but know the answer
It’s cuz you’re pretty, you’re someones daughter
And I think I’ll walk away cuz I’m exhausted,
And you’re a mess I won’t clean.
And does it haunt you too?
Or is that ghost in you?
Because it haunts me too,
But I think that ghost is you.
I cleaned up diamonds,
I cleaned up broken windows x 6

Different Times
03:03
|

|
Those were different times
These times are better,
through the greenery,
we’re still under the sheets gone on vacation.
Dropped my habit for you,
picked it up again.
Told myself to stop,
Cuz cigarette burns still burn without you.
You wore shoulder pads,
like an 80’s pop Queen.
I’m you’re begger man I’m broke,
Still broke without you.
But who is cryin for you?
Not me, no more tears in my eyes
Makes it easier to see.
That some things just don’t go on that long.
And some things are better off alone.
And some things need to be held on.
And you’re my demon charmer,
burning my pentagram,
You were my devil woman,
And I was your cursed man.
And I would bleed for you,
if I got the chance.
But the knife is dull
and now it’s in your hands.
So put it down lady,
walk away.
Don’t make no sudden moves,
Cuz I can’t run any way.
Cuz some things, just don’t go on that long.
And some things are better off alone.
But some things need to be held on.
There’s no such thing as moving on,
No there’s no such thing as moving on.
And it’s bout damn time I moved along.
No there’s no such thing as moving on

Close To You
03:20
|
|||
|
Where will you be?
And how long should I wait?
Cuz I feel like I’m dying,
Like I’m dead weight.
And it must be difficult,
I know you want to be free.
But I’m used to having people
Fall in love with me.
What should I be?
Why aren’t you obsessed with me?
What should I be?
Cuz this happens every time,
I get close to you.
It’s something cosmic but it’s dead,
And I know we’re through. x 2
And now that I see,
You just want me to break.
You’ll just wait there in silence,
I know that you’ll wait.
And what happens to me,
have I made a mistake?
And won’t anyone help me,
to whom shall I pray?
But what should I be?
Why won’t you possess me?
What should I be?
And this happens every time,
I get close to you.
It’s something cosmic but it’s dead,
And I know we’re through.

Lockjaw
05:02
|
|||
|
And if you want me to,
I could sew my eyes shut for you.
And if it makes you more comfortable,
Just let me get one last look at you.
Cuz you know I can’t be cool,
Cuz I got that lockjaw for you,
I got that lockjaw for you.
Could you make me a believer?
Could you save my soul?
Could you wash me in the river?
Or would you drown me in the cold?
And would you take out little parts of me?
Or would you keep me whole?
And would you sell the pieces back to me?
Or would you make sure they all sold?
I have a feeling tearing up in me.
Could you stop that pull?
Maybe make a statue out of me?
You could make me in gold.
And just cuz I don’t know your name.
Doesn’t mean that I know nothing.
I just think you and I could be,
We could be everything or nothing.
CHORUS
Will you fake it that you’re happy.
Will I know how to tell?
Will you scream with me quietly?
Or will I hear it when you yell?
It’s only once that you’ve walked past me,
But you rang my bell.
Don’t know you’re name,
Just that face and you’re body,
just think you and I could raise some hell.
And just cuz I don’t know your name.
Doesn’t mean that I know nothing.
I just think you and I could be,
we could be everything or nothing.
I just think you and I could be,
we could be everything or nothing.
And if you want me to,
I could sew my eyes shut for you. (Sew my eyes)
And if it makes you more comfortable,
Just let me get one last look at you. (Last look at you)
Cuz you know I can’t be cool,
Cuz I got that lockjaw for you,
I got that lockjaw for you. (For you, for you)

Take Care of Me
04:24
|
|||
|
I cut my hair,
I burned my body.
Turned my eyes towards the sun,
on a pilgrimage.
Is that reactionary? x 2
You cut your hair,
Like David Bowie.
It looked better long,
And now I’m sick of it.
Why does it matter to me? x 2
Cuz I bled in my sleep,
I woke up and my sheets were clean.
I need someone to take care of me. x 2
I had a dream,
that we were talking.
And I said I wanna build a pyramid.
Am I a visionary? x 2
This whole things dead,
But there’s no body,
I just missed your bones
And then I got homesick.
Where’s my obituary? x 2
Cuz I bled in my sleep,
But woke up and my sheets were clean.
Cuz I need someone to take care of me. x 2
You say I’m unemotional,
But that’s untrue.
I’d say I’m making progress.
I’m just as sad as you.
And I know that’s what you wanted,
I made your dreams come true.
And I guess my nightmares are too.
What does it matter to me x 4

Alone, Not Lonely
04:13
|
|||
|
Said I wanna be alone,
I don’t want to me lonely. x 2
When you tell me all the good ones are taken
Then you tell me mine will come.
Well I laugh at you and keep on walking,
cuz I been this way too long.
And I know I choose this path that I’m walkin,
I just wish I knew for how long.
And don’t remind of how much she has taken
Cuz that’s another song.
Said I wanna be alone,
I don’t want to me lonely. x 2
When you tell me that your happy I’m happy,
I’m just glad you’ve moved along.
Cuz I can’t say that I’m quite past it,
But that’s another song.
Please just let me be there for the breakdown,
Cuz I know that it will come.
And when it does I’ll remember the reason,
The reason I left town.
Said I wanna be alone,
I don’t want to me lonely. x 2
This is just the broken stones of how I feel,
and I don’t feel much,
Been moving like a wheel inside a wheel. x 3ish

I reached out my hand,
the heat was off
and you were gone.
But this is no it’s not you, it’s me type situation,
Cuz I know it’s me.
But you know I’m cold.
I thought you knew
that I was froze.
Or was this just a clean up and go home, type situation,
If it was then I never knew.
Wind blow, threw my skull.
Hand hold, clear my throat.
Cuz I can’t make this up,
And this stone is heavy.
Or are we a shade of blue,
Cut lip, broken tooth,
when I’m around you.
I was on the floor,
I fell asleep cuz I got bored.
And this is no rest in peace type situation,
Cuz I leave the rest to you.
And you’re out the door,
The wind was cold, I start to choke.
But this was no hold my hand as you go type situation.
And we never held hands too.
Cuz I can’t make this up,
And this stone is heavy.
Or are we a shade of blue,
Cut lip, broken tooth,
when I’m around you. x2

There’s a skeleton on my wall,
There’s a cigarette in my car,
Smoke signal I can’t read,
is it something you wrote for me.
Scratching dirt on my hardwood floor,
took a walk just so I could breath,
swept it up but it’s still unclean,
you always said I was ungodly.
And why would you lie to me x 4
Now the paints chipping of my walls,
Broken windows in my car
Still hear the scratch on the hardwood floor,
Kept the portrait you made of me,
Hung it up by the bedroom door,
you always said I was so pretty.
And why would you lie to me x 5

Whenever I’m leaving,
I feel it in my bones.
Like I could dissolve.
I feel in my breathing,
There’s water in my lungs,
Like I’m drowning.
Whenever I’m dreaming,
I dream that I’ve come home.
But whenever I do,
it’s empty.
Where am I,
Where are you?
There’s something about this distance,
That makes me forget you.
Should I go on?
What should I do?
I need you to remind me,
How to push through,
I need you to remind me.
I’ll never stop bleeding.
My veins might run me dry,
But just in case they do,
Don’t save me.
I’m tired of drinking,
Cool water from hard stone.
Stop cleansing me,
I’m filthy.
Where am I,
Where are you?
There’s something about this distance,
That makes me forget you.
Should I go on?
What should I do?
I need you to remind me,
How to push through,
I need you to remind me.
Where am I,
Where are you?
There’s something about this distance,
That makes me forget you.
Should I go on?
What should I do?
I need you to remind me,
How to push through,
I need you to remind me.
Where am I,
Where are you?
There’s something about this distance,
That makes me forget you.
Should I go on?
What should I do?
I need you to remind me,
How to push through,
I need you to remind me.

And I wonder what would happen,
I wonder what would happen.
If you didn’t have him.
If you didn’t have him.
Would it even make a difference?
Would it even make a difference?
Or are my chances too thin.
Or are my chances too thin?
Cuz I always dress up for you.
Look in my eyes cuz I don’t blink around you.
But it’s just another pointless confrontation.
Another stupid unheard conversation.
And why do I, keep on thinking that I want you,
trying to get close to you?
When watching from a distance is just fine.
But I can see it in your movements.
I can see it in your movements.
How do you move around him?
How do you move around him?
But I guess there’s nothing to imagine.
I guess there’s nothing to imagine.
Do you ever wish I was him?
You ever wish I was him?
Cuz I wanna be that mistake for you.
That little ghost always haunting you.
But it’s just another pointless confrontation.
Another stupid unheard conversation.
And why do I, why do I, and why do I
Keep on thinking that I want you,
trying to get close to you?
When watching from a distance is just fine.
And you make me bleed.
Do you want me to? x 4

Lobotomy
03:51

The phone rings again,
what do you want from me?
And no, I don’t care,
the times you remembered me.
There’s grey in my hair,
not old but you’re killing me.
And no I’m not dead,
just put me in quarantine.
I’m stuck in you’re head,
I’m haunting your memories.
I thought you’d forget,
I need a lobotomy.
I heard what you said.
I just stopped listening.
And I read you’re letter,
you just can’t write poetry.
And why would you want to bring life to this again.
Make me bring flowers to this funeral again?
And why, why would you want me to hear it all again?
Are you trying to make me go deaf again?
Why would you want to bring life to this again?
Bring life to this again?
Bring life to this again?
To hear it all again?
And why would you want to bring life to this again.
Make me bring flowers to this funeral again?
And why, why would you want me to hear it all again?
Are you trying to make me go deaf again?
