Bittersweet Heart

Why you always wanna get the best of me
I’m like a seeing eye dog and
I can’t even see they’re naked and
they’re followin’ my master who’s blind and
my mind’s gone to pieces,
I could use some piece of mind so
I picked up the pieces and I made a new start stole and
a old stiletto started stabbin’ in the dark and
I can’t live without it
I would surely fall apart but
it’s hard to make arrangements round a
bittersweet heart bittersweet heart
art better get yourself little street smart
bittersweet heart
sad but true it’s a bittersweet heart
that’s a hard heard to cure it’s like a suicide mission
when you can’t see no end tired of
compliment fishin’ and impressin’ your friends
I never kissed no one just to kiss and fall
it’s a little bit of heaven and
a whole lot a hell in the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start
but you always seem to end up with a bittersweet heart
there’s a darkness looming but the sun is shinin’ bright
I can live to see the morning if
I stay up all night bittersweet heart bittersweet
heartare you in there,
are you beating beating me up
until I’m bleeding how much blood con
you spare bittersweet heart think
just a drink might get you to the game part
lying in bed just wonderin’ what to do it’s a bittersweet heart
that’s a hard heart to cure in time you find inside
you always wind up with a bittersweet heart

Hopes Up

I there’s just no substitute for fun
I’ve tried every single one
And no one can take your place
Everybody gets replaced
My time has neither come nor gone
It just slips out when I yawn
Without hope I can’t go wrong
Can’t go wrong.... Don’t get my hopes up
It’s so hard to settle down
Don’t recognize my hometown
Home is where I hang my head
Lost it on all these things I said
Been holding my breath for so long
I don’t need air more
If you never let me breathe I’ll never breathe
Don’t get my hopes up now
I don’t know what I was hoping for
I feel like feeling better than
I’ve ever felt before don’t want to be bored
No more I know there’s so much more don’t get my hopes up.

Caged Rat

Why don’t you go home and
spend some time alone in the corner
I looked across the room
I know I’d be there soon in the other corner

Why don’t you go home and
crawl into your hole from the corner
I looked across the room to the other corner
I knew I’d be there soon

Just Like Anyone

She walks into the outhouse the cold night breathes into her face
The flies are standing still now the moon spill, trough the place
and she starts wondering what it’s like to be liked by everyone
and like everyone be just like anyone who just wants to be so...

Just like anyone (x2)

She reacers trough the darkness her fingers touch the porcelain seat
she spins and pull her pants down the cold air holds her like a thief
and she starts wondering what they mean do they just mean to be mean
and thinking about the scene do they just want to be seen try not to seem so...

Just like anyone (x2)

The door comes screeching open she walks into the evening air
she disappears in the darkness all that’s left is the faint smell of her hair
she’s done wondering what it’s like to be liked by everyone
and like everyone be just like anyone who just wants to be so...

Just like anyone

wondering what they mean do they just mean to be mean
and thinking about the scene do they just want to be seen try not to seem so...

Just like anyone

Misery

They say misery loves company we could start a company and make misery
frustrated incorporated I know just what you need I might just have the thing I
know what you’d pay to see put me out of my misery I do it for you, would you do
it for me? We will always be busy making misery we could build a factory and
make misery we’ll create the cure we made the disease frustrated incorporated
frustrated incorporated I know just what you need I might have the thing I know
what you’d pay to feel put me out my misery all you suicide kings and drama
Queens forever after happily making misery did you satisfy your greed? Get what
you need? Was it only envy, so empty, frustrated incorporated,
frustrated incorporated, frustrated incorporated, frustrated incorporated.

Promises Broken

Streets are filled with broken glass
You get buried by the past
Give me just a little taste
Lay this mess to waste
Take me home
My mind is racing
Take me home
My body’s achin’ so alone
I’ll make you wanna stay with me
Befriended by the enemy
One more time
 
Every little thing about tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words I hear spoken
Just promises broken now
 
Looking outside from my window sill
Throw another coin in the wishing well
You’ll never find what you’re looking for
15 miles your dim light shines from
So far away your sad smile
Is all I see when I say
 
From the hotel satellite
Don’t look like you’re livin’ right
Here’s a deal you can’t refuse
You ain’t got as much to lose
But I don’t mind can you tell you troubles to
Someone who won’t laugh at you
It’s alright
And as I watch you walk away
Hope a part of you will stay
It’s alright

Shut Down

I’ve been vindicated
I’ve been loved and hated
I’ve been pulled aside and told that life was overrated no,
I don’t believe it I just can’t conceive it I can write all night
But in the morning I can’t read it oh no,
I don’t know what’s the matter stuck up on a ladder scared
of coming down if I don’t get what I want and there ain’t
enough to go around I became oblivious to the obvious just
ridiculous as I flip the pages you’re a time that’s ageless
in between us lies a calm before a storm that rages thought
we were related couldn’t be separated tried to get a head but
only got decapitated if I don’t get what you want and you don’t
get what I dysfunctional shut down when I can’t keep from
getting down and I grow tired of hangin’ ‘round I become invisible,
unlivable, just dysfunctional shut down

To my own devices

Shouldn’t a got so loaded
damn near explode
oh Lord, you know
I shoulda know it
whatever the price is
whatever the crisis
please don’t leave me to my on devices
please don’t leave me to my on devices
she was pretty good waitress
said she waited on Elvis
said she talks too much
please don’t leave me to my on devices
please don’t leave me to my on devices
Save it up for a rainy day
it just rained yesterday
whatever the prices is
whatever the crisis...
