About That

It takes a lot of thinking
It takes a lot of time
About That heart I gave to you...
She says I've got a problem
I say I feel so deep
I say "where does that leave us?"
you don't speak
It takes a lot of searching
to tell me what you find
about that heart I gave to you
It's MIIIINE
It's Mine
It's like we're stuck in traffic, while they punch out my teeth
( I wanna speak your language, I got to see your greed )
And as the blood dries down my face
I'm me
It takes a lot of searching
Don't tell me what you find
About That heart I gave to you
It's mine

Easy To Forget

Oh... :/
You gave me the world...
guess I'll take it.
Well don't you look so broken hearted
Looked so bright eyed when this started
Don't you look so absent minded
God, I hate to see you like this
It's easy to forget
Oh, it's easy to forget
And my image is loud
How long, how long do I fake it?
Cause don't I look so absent minded
When I set out, hoped I'd find it
Don't I look so broken hearted
Engine stalling
Brakes
Restart It
Oh and it's easy to forget
Well, who am I? I nearly lost it
Helicopters, cameras watching
Screens will burn right through my eyes
the need to use the things you like
But aren't i discombobulated
Getting lost in conversation
God, I hate to see me like this
Don't know where in the hell i've been
Oh It's easy to forget

Not Better

Okay I guess I’m bitter
But it took a lot of time
if it don’t get better…
You wanna hold my collar
You wanna pull me from my spine
Because I won’t get better
They cant throw you in the fire, so they boil you like a frog
they don’t cage you like a chicken they just walk you like a dog
You can’t see me, you can’t feel me
And you’re farther than I feared
Just projections from old memories
And I gotta disappear
I thought I climbed this mountain
But I was moving to the side
So I lay down and shiver
You say I’m like your father
But I think that you’re like mine
You wanna hold my collar
So you don’t feel undermined
Wears me out, when…
They don’t throw you in the fire, but they boil you like a frog
If they don’t cage you like a chicken they just walk you like a dog
They just keep you real distracted
Driving cars and doing jobs
It’s that empty feeling, babe
being caged and rearranged is why you feel strange
Okay I guess I’m bitter
Because I wanted to be fine
And I cannot get better…

Scaredy Cat

Cold inner light from my cellphone
I’d be better off with the lights on
Drunk in your bed and I wanna go home
I never knew night was that long
Oh just barely
But you wear me down
I’m a scaredy cat
I’m skipping town
The boldness of that, the audacity
The things that you get away with telling me
I try to dream of my future home
I’d be better off with the lights on
Oh just barely
But you tear me up
I’m scared of you
You’ve had enough
-and you’re gone
I’m losing it all here
I had the future in mind, it was so clear
gimme just a scrap
Ill take what you have
I won’t fight back
Tell me what you want, I want that.
Cold inner light from your cellphone
I’d Be better off with the LIGHTS ON
Oh just barely
But it tears me up
I’m your scaredy cat
and I am on the run
-And you’re gone
I’m losing it all here
I had the future in mind, it was so clear
Gimme just a scrap
I’ll take what you have
I won’t fight back
Tell me what you want, I want that
