This One's For You

In my dreams your silhouette slowly unfolds
To touch you would stop my breath if truth be told
But your hand goes right through mine
I can't help but wonder why
I wrote this at 4 am when my dreams kept me alive
So this one's for you to remember me sometime
An evening, morning, afternoon let me rewind
This aching feeling stops when you tell me
What's on your mind
So reach out to hug me and hold me
Your touch would be divine
Blooming flowers
Peach colored roses every time
Mosaic of cowards
All coming closer
To make what's mine
Mine
Your hand goes right through mine
I can't help but wonder why
I wrote this at 4 am when my dreams kept me alive
So this one's for you to remember me sometime
An evening, morning, afternoon let me rewind
This aching feeling stops when you tell me
What's on your mind
So reach out to hug me and hold me
Your touch would be divine

Testify
04:03
|

|
Your Honor I'm on trial
The jury pulled my file
Pass your judgement down on me
So open up my case
Read up on my mistakes
And know that I'm guilty
Now I testify
I'm runnin for my life
Sit back and hear my side
Hand to God I tried
I don't deserve whats mine
I'll be locked up for all time
My innocence is gone
I know that I'm the one she sees
As the enemy
And it tears at my
Ability to lose
So now I testify
I'm running for my life
Sit back and hear my side
Hand to God I tried
I don't deserve whats mine
I'll be locked up for all time
Maybe thats my crime
I can't escape the prison life
Though I may try
To get back home
To where I used to be
I'm at the end of the line
So now I testify
I'm running for my life
Sit back and hear my side
Hand to God I tried
I don't deserve whats mine
I'll be locked up for all time
Now I testify
I've opened up my eyes
Sit back and hear my side
Hand to God I tried
I don't deserve whats mine
I guess that thats my time

Be Happy
03:24
|
|||
|
I saw you today
And you looked happy
That used to be so rare to find
You were with
Those friends I hated
The ones who helped
And I despised
I didn't go up
Cause I never showed up
When you needed me most
But I see without me
You could be happy
I don't deserve it
Cause I never earned it
Brought down by my mistakes
But I see without me
You could be happy
I walked away
And hid my face
I couldn't stay
And taint your grace
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
I didn't go up
Cause I never showed up
When you needed me most
But I see without me
You could be happy
I don't deserve it
Cause I never earned it
Brought down by my mistakes
But I see without me
You could be happy
You should be happy
You should be happy

Dyed Hair
03:11
|
|||
|
I see that you dyed your hair
Like you always wanted to
I tried my best not to care
Still here I am wanting you
Did you even think of me
When you chose my favorite color
I know that I should let it be
Still I can't help but wonder
Now I've known it all too well
How you avoid
To me that's just certain hell
To you it's a choice
Did you even think of me
When you chose my favorite color
I know that I should let it be
Still I can't help but wonder
Good bye
Don't cry
When you find
It's not the only thing thats died

My Hero
02:33
|
|||
|
I'll admit that I've been feeling
Like I might let you down again
These kind of thoughts could hurt my healing
But I still get them now and then
It's when I look up at the ceiling
See the roof is caving in
I wish that I could give a reason
But I don't know where to begin
All my good
All my bad
And what I've been through
Suddenly becoming zero
For what it's worth
I didn't think you'd be that sad
But how could I let down my hero?
Thanks to you now I'm not hollow
(Hollow)
Gave unto me a beating heart
Cause after all you held my sorrow
(Sorrow)
Like I should've from the start
All my good
All my bad
And what I've been through
Suddenly becoming zero
For what it's worth
I didn't think you'd be that sad
But how could I let down my hero?

Nervous Is Normal
03:07
|
|||
|
Smoke
In the air
Hands
In her hair
Hope
Never clear
Filled
With the fear
Embrace the stormy weather
Emotions long overdue
They're not so different together
Nervous is normal too
Surrender
Lightening thunder and rain
Hold me close when it gets too cold
And as I call your name
I want you with me when I grow old
Embrace the stormy weather
Emotions long overdue
They're not so different together
Nervous is normal too
Surrender

It's Just Late
03:27
|
|||
|
Time is a grand illusion
When I can't remember my day
Lost and left in confusion
Why did it end up this way
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe it's just late
The aching change of seasons
Oh how I'm missing your taste
And I died
When you looked in my eyes
Burned into my mind
Wish that I could rewind
Time
Time
Passing by
Now that you
Left me
Behind
I didn't get things right
And now it's all stuck in my head
As soon as you left my sight
I wish you had heard what I said
I gave up on the reasons
gave up on the hate
But now the changing seasons
Remind me of your taste
And I died
When you looked in my eyes
Burned into my mind
Wish that I could rewind
Time
Time
Passing by
Now that you
Left me
Behind

Woman I Need You
03:12
|
|||
|
I woke up one day
To my father cryin
In my bed
And he said
"I don't know what to say
To hopelessly dyin
In my head"
He pled
I could not see her
No I would not see her
As she left
Our door
No more
You'll burn old pictures
Cut off your sisters
Feel no emotion
In your head
As you said
"I don't need you"
But woman I need you
You brought me in
Now take me out
I've had enough
Don't want it rough
Just kill me now
I'll suck it up
And trade my luck
Abandon what she's done for me
Or end up crushed
I've lost my trust
You'll burn old pictures
And cut off your sisters
Feel no emotion
In your head
As you said
"I don't need you"
But woman I need you
And all you had to do was
Hold me up and give me trust
Now look at what you've done
I've had to stand with no one by my side
But I guess I can't blame you cause
You don't know what you can do
Instead I'll blame a God that recently
I've learned that I despise
You'll burn old pictures
Cut off your sisters
Feel no emotion
In your head
As you said
"I don't need you"
But woman I need you

The City Stays The Same
03:24
|
|||
|
I was scared it had changed
From the last time I came
Like something had broken
And the fix was your face
But The city's still lovely
It's all still the same
The heavenly body
Venus worships her name
LA
Wherever the sun goes
I'm walking down Melrose
Larchmont and my heart
Could never stay apart
Cause the city's still lovely
It's all still the same
It's a celestial body
Even Griffith can't tame
It shines so bright
It's never night
Beauty can't contain
LA

Stuck Holding On
03:04
|
|||
|
I'm stepping out of the sunlight
This nights all mine
There's whispers from the deep
They tell me it's alright
But it's asinine
Let go of what you keep
My grip just gets tighter
Thinking about her
Doing as she please
She can't get much higher
Using that lighter
Living in the streets
Now I'm out here
Dripping down tears
Living in fear
Stuck holding on
I'm not into it
There's no benefit
Die without it
Stuck holding on
She's stepping out of the spotlight
Into the moonlight
It guides her down the streets
It shines like a white light
Tells her it's all right
Her minds slowly released
My grip just gets tighter
Thinking about her
Doing as she please
She can't get much higher
Still using that lighter
Living in the streets
Now I'm out here
Dripping down tears
Living in fear
Stuck holding on
I'm not into it
There's no benefit
Die without it
Stuck holding on
I held you up
Built up my trust
You let me down
Now I'm living with out it
You filled me up
Drank from my cup
Flipped upside down
Now I'm living without it
And I'm out here
Dripping down tears
Living in fear
Stuck holding on
I'm not into it
There's no benefit
Die without it
Stuck holding on
Stuck holding on
Stuck holding on
I'm not into it
There's no benefit
Die without it
Stuck holding on

My Bedroom (dum dee dum)
01:40
|
|||
|
I'm at home
And I'm alone
What can I do
But sing my song
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum
My bedroom
Is where I think
Can't drown my thoughts
In the kitchen sink
I'll write my songs
And lay in bed
Write down the thoughts
Within my head
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum
Dum dee dum

Black Cherry
02:23
|
|||
|
My heart flutters sometimes
When I got you on my mind
Black cherry
I try to stifle my thirst
I'd fill my mouth with your dirt
In fact I think I'd do worse
I don't know if we flirt
But I know it'll hurt
Cause I know it can't work
So at night when I'm lonely
It's only the songs that I write
That'll hold me
Yeah my heart flutters sometimes
When I got you on my mind
And how we said our goodbyes
Black cherry so fine
I'd pick you up every night
Stay out till the sun shines
And I'd stumble the earth
Cause it's worth it
The search for the perfect new person
But at night when I'm lonely
It's only the songs that I write
That'll hold me

You share your drink
With another man
Then you think
Of when I let you down
The times you got lonely
Wishing to only have someone
It weighs me down slowly
Knowing I wasn't the one
So I sing a lullaby
When it gets late at night
Whispering softly
That you'll be fine
But the times that you think of
I've thought of them more
I can't forget the countless times
I hurt you before
