Certain Curtains

|
A son of a gun
Born and raised to misbehave
Never you mind though
I never went that way
Everything I learned I want to forget
Speaking your mind is the original sin
Death and all her friends
Keep me up late into the night
Making me doubt almost everything that I decide
Left alone for too long I think it’s about time
Certain curtains were never meant to be opened in my life
[.....]
What is this?
In the last days of light
When all returns to night
The wolf in your bed
Will be you instead
In the last days of light
When all returns to night
The wolf in your head
Will no longer be dead
Child of the wild
Born and raised to be forgotten
I don’t mind thought I never wanted to stay
Everything I know now has made me mine
Certain Curtains were meant to be opened in my life

History Lessons
04:24
|

|
Bad blood turned brothers into rivals
Friends lost by past and future lovers
Dirty looks made from misconceptions
Lives broken by old traditions
We should have seen it all coming
We should have learned from these History Lessons
And I know if it wasn’t for these History Lessons
I would be nothing short of a question
And I know if it wasn’t for these History Lessons
I would be in your arms just like you always wanted
How long must I wait
To let go to let be to learn from others and them from me
To live and forgive the things I have done and I haven’t done yet.
Same game that cheaters only win at
Mixed up with no way out except lying
Old tricks that honest folks fall for
Down and out as if it’s already over

Two Sided Mirror

Two sided mirror what do you see
Two sided mirror is that really me
Two sided mirror will I ever get to see
What’s it is you’re hiding on the other side of me
We were getting high in the parking lot
After class crammed into the back of your truck
Laughing and singing along
Wondering where we would be
Seven years is a long time for me
Forgetting everything is easier than I thought
Two sided mirror what do you see
Two sided mirror am I seeing me
Two sided mirror will I ever get to see
What’s it is you’re hiding on the other side of me
We were just talking not so long ago
Over weeks, damn these things feel so real
Living in a dream wouldn’t you know
Wondering what it could be
Seven years and I haven’t even seen me
Forgetting everything is easier than I thought
Under this setting sun
Sucking the smoke into our lungs
So tell me what are you thinking
Under this secret sun
Sucking the smoke into our burning lungs
So tell me what are you thinking

Blame
03:22
|

|
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
Just sitting here hearing my words disappear
Finding what works ain't hard
I'd rather just let it be
Sipping melted sundaes
Being just the right kind of lazy
It might be harsh like your first smoke
But truth be told it’s getting old
With each day it get’s a little better
Knowing this isn’t forever
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
Just sitting here hearing my words disappear
As the sun bakes my brain
You appear from time and time again
Like a bitch in heat I can’t seem to let you ventilate
You can call me what like
We can argue all through the night
Like sand in a hourglass
All I ever wanted to do is fall like the rest

Love is a Hologram

Love is a Hologram
When you don’t understand
You can look right through
That’s when you’ll see
When your light is true
And you won’t need to find someone new
Because everything exists within you
Love is a Hologram

Nothing Stays
05:22

I DON’T KNOW WHAT IM DOING
MOST OF THE TIME I JUST PHONE IT IN
IT’S BEEN GOING SO WELL/I THINK I MIGHT EVEN BE DEAD
JUST WALKING AROUND MAKING THESE SOUNDS AND NODDING MY HEAD
I FEEL LIKE NO ONE WILL NOTICE AS LONG AS I PRETEND
I LOST TRACK OF TIME TRYING TO GET OLDER
TRYING TO GET SOME PIECE OF MIND
BUT NOW I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I SAID
WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT THESE SIMPLE FATES
EVEN IF IT’S ALRIGHT AND NOT ALREADY TOO LATE
IT’S NO SECRET THAT NOTHING STAYS
WE ARE JUST PASSING THROUGH UNTIL THE END OF DAYS
I LOST TRACK OF TIME TRYING TO GET OLDER
TRYING TO GET SOME PIECE OF MIND
BUT NOW I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I SAID
IT’S NOT ABOUT ME, AND IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
ITS HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE JUST YOU
IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY AND NOT WHAT YOU DO
IT’S LEARNING HOW TO LAUGH
ITS ABOUT LETTING GO
GIVING TIME LONG ENOUGH FOR THE HUMOR TO WASH OVER YOU
AS FAR AS I KNOW IM DOING JUST FINE
AND THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME TONIGHT
EVEN IF I CANT SLEEP AT LEAST I CAN STILL DREAM
LIFE’S NOT A BOAT IT A FIGHT TO SWIM UPSTREAM

Live it Up

HOT IN THE HEAT OF MY WICKEDNESS
PALE BLUE SKY GIVES ME NO REST
MY SOFT HEART IS STILL BEATING
EACH BREATH I TAKE PROVES ME BEST
THE FLESH THINKS IT KNOWS BEST BUT IT DON'T
MY SOFT HEART IS STILL BEATING
I’VE BEEN DECEIVING SO LONG
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE MYSELF
SOMEWHERE I’LL BE, IN THE DARK, WAITING ON A LIGHT
NOT HERE BUT CLOSE ENOUGH
IN A PICKUP TRUCK DRIVING AROUND
ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS ONE
THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOING NOWADAYS
IS THE THOUGHT OF YOU
MY MIND MELTED WHEN I FIRST TOUCH YOUR LIPS
I REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME YOU CAN'T KISS YOURSELF
THAT YOU WOULD NEED SOME HELP WELL DARLING
HERE I AM ALL I HAVE IS YOURS
SO PLEASE LISTEN GOOD AND LISTEN WELL
ENJOY EVERY SECOND WHILE YOU CAN
BECAUSE IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN
LIVE IT UP
LIVE IT UP
LIVE IT UP
