I know a secret, kept way too long
Punch full of regrets, I’m feeling wrong
Wanda doesn’t like me
Sheila says I’m frightening
I am a pawn
I don’t care what you can see cause I am not alone tonight
You can’t get the best of me cause I am not alone tonight
Poached like the egret, they got me dumb
Winding a cassette, biting my thumb
You can’t make me jelly
I can be compelling
Chasing my crumbs

Would you really do this to me?
Would you really do this?
How could you do this?
Well I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t stop the war
Pick up the pieces, hey you been there before
Not only recently, I think you meant to say, no
Well I could turn my back and watch the tables turn on you
Cause i been having dreams where I don’t have to play the fool
Well I could walk it off,and wouldn’t be much worse than fine
Would it fucking kill you to be happy that you’re mine?
Please be happy that you’re mine
The window the bleeding the book you were reading
The look on your face that said thank you for leaving
The keys to apartments now vacant and dark and
The way that you smile and I get in my car I don’t know

Alone

Don’t you worry baby, I know I’ll be just fine
You cut me down to pieces and slipped a disc inside my mind
I don’t feel frustrated, this message is belated
Cause I think, I’m better off alone
Don’t you worry darlin, I have some other friends
They laugh about my issues, and the tissues stuffed behind my bed
I don’t feel frustrated, in fact I’m quite elated
Cause I think, I’m better off alone
Without you, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep I can’t dream, I can’t write
Fingernails gliding over my face and my back and my thighs and on my heart
Don’t you worry honey, don’t need a second wind
I bought a brand new notebook to write all of these fun thoughts in
I don’t feel frustrated, but this can’t go unstated
Cause I think, I’m better off alone

Carried Away

I'm looking back to the day
I got carried away
To when I noticed you
To when you noticed too
We were carried away
I remember the times, when I looked down at my feet
I remember the words, how they dropped me to my knees
But now I am sworn to a temporary vice
And it's yours, and I can't escape these
Things that have formed
Watching myself watching you, wanting you
I remember the rhymes that I wrote, oh how discreet
I remember the verse, the chorus and the whole damn thing
In high school, I watched you
Intent to be the one
Reliving misgivings
Not having any fun

Stick On Brick

You look at me
You hold in your hand a little stick from a tree
It’s easy to see
That from the look in your eyes you’ve come up with a
Scheme to get
The best of me
But i won’t fold so
Easily
Write a song called stick on brick
So i did, you said that it was good
But I forgot that song, you said write it again
So i did, you said that it was good a second time
I can not see
Why you don’t care that you’re laughing at me
Remind you to breathe
But from the look in your eyes, you’ve come up with a
Scheme to get
The best of me
But i won’t fold so
Easily
Don’t tell your friends that I wrote this song cause they
Can’t know I’m a sentimental guy
But if you insist then I’ll sing along to the
Recording of my voice
Well if have no other choice
I guess it’s worth it if that’s what makes you mine

Hi-Five

Maybe we could go
To the place where we first
Met and then we could sit down
Take a pen and then just
Cross out all the names that
We don't want to be around
Wouldn't that be nice?
Wouldn't that be nice.
This one goes out to the thugs and the losers
Jealous girlfriends, punks and abusers
Low-five to them and hi-five for being my wife
I remember when we
Used to talk about it
When the words were only sounds
Didn't need a witness
Or rings to validate this
Cause we know just what we found
Maybe we could go away somewhere warm and sunny
Say a couple words make a couple vows and then be free
Well I don't know about you
That is something I could do
And maybe, yeah maybe...

You had never dated another guy before me
My torn sweaters making me itch and disappointing
Me and you, girl, isn’t a very likely story
In the night time, I write a script where you adore me
You break me to pieces
You tell me you’re true
I’m down on my knees now baby
Holding on to you
Two-timed by self-deprecating self it’s only
Right that I try, but seeing me try is disappointing
Oh in my 15th year I
Thought I could make amends with
Everything I had done and
Everyone I had wronged

Bullet Necklace

She looks good in a bullet necklace
Damn I'm already invested
Preemptive feelings of rejection
I thought my heart was protected
No I don't wanna see what happens next
I've been here before but it hasn't felt like
This is something more
Why take a shot when you might miss
Trying to think of common questions
Do you like guys with big pensions?
Maybe a musical suggestion
Please check out all my obsessions
No I don't wanna see what happens next
Miss the part where she accepts your
Feeble attempts at conversation just
Talking and holding and sleeping and dreaming
Wishing, convincing, deciding, believing

Forever Hold Your Peace

Kiss me now or forever hold your peace
Shifting clouds, the rain comes as we speak
I’m not so strong that I can forget all my crimes
Kiss me now or forever hold your peace
Cause we’re the fire burnin’
I feel my body yearnin’
To keep myself alive
To keep you by my side
Kiss me now or forever hold your peace
Casting doubt, the world is up your sleeve
We can’t still this motion, our fires, our poison
Kiss me now or forever hold your peace
