brightest star (intro)
02:09
|

|
you stop the clock when im with you
and i turn away
from rushing trains in the empty fray
and its ok
brightest star
dampened by the morning grass
i kiss your cheek
back to the road i wont ever leap
never even peeked
brightest star

i fell asleep right by the window
you were downstairs while i stared at the snowfall
rude laughing came up from the floor
what did i come here for?
pretty girl, smiling at me
and everyone walks down the street
gets to their cars and trips over feet
you return to me in the dead of night
tears streaming in the half-light
pretty girl, smiling at me
and who do i dream of in my bed?
a stranger, an empty head
i walked outside in the morning
but you tell a different story
pretty girl, smiling at me

it feels so good when i gaze up into the suns light
even though my eyes water
your face looks like a flower
in the dead light of the shower
even though i cant find you afterwards
im happy, i better end this now
even though i would be in the ground
im happy, i better and this now
even though it would make your frown
i want to fall asleep
and meet you in my dreams
until thoughts of the real you wake me up
when thunder explodes in the night
i think ill give up without a fight
ill just walk away and say that you were right
im happy, i better end this now
even though i would be in the ground
im happy, i better and this now
even though it would make your frown

how i feel
04:11
|

sometimes i cant help but feel
sometimes i cant help but feel
that you dont give a shit
i feel guilty for saying so
but ive gotten past the point where i care if you know
hey lady
do you want to leave me
you cannot deceive me
hey lady
do you want to hurt me
well go ahead
so do i
broken glass on the floor
what are you waiting for
we both know
its what i deserve
white bird in the window
go far away
or come in right now
stop teasing me when i frown
hey lady
do you want to leave me
you cannot deceive me
hey lady
do you want to hurt me
well go ahead
so do i

i am watching terrible things
happen in my mind
i dont want to lie
even though i lie all the time
i am watching you climb right over
the creaky wooden fence
i dont want to guess
as to where youre going
i think i already know
now ill put it to the test
just cause these things happen in my mind
doesnt make them any more alright
everything you say
i take the wrong way
and you know youre my only light
i am watching you walk across the line
even though its pitch black outside
youre sharing your breath with a far away guest
although i know you would never lie
and still i am here thinking
looking at you without blinking
wondering what i couldve done right
still i am asleep, even though i feel awake
watching terrible things happen in my mind
just cause these things happen in my mind
doesnt make them any more alright
everything you say
i take the wrong way
and you know youre my only light

i want to break all the hearts in town
i want to watch everybody frown
i want to kick down every door
cause i dont know what i can here for
the wind is emptying itself on me
all my words are buried deeply in the breeze
what is the point of saying anything now
if it werent for the people sitting next to me
i would break all the hearts in town
i would watch everybody frown
i would kick down every door
cause i dont know what i can here for
when i see your face i really want to cry
this is the only place where i would never lie
what is the point of getting up from the ground
whenever i laugh with you, its to the ground im tied
i want to break all the hearts in town
i want to watch everybody frown
i want to kick down every door
cause i dont know what i can here for

im waiting for you to leave me
because i wont ever say
the things that happen in my mind each day
im waiting for the bar to fill up
because theres nothing to do about it
theres no point in shouting anyways
your hair smells like a flower
and my hands are covered in dirt
theres nothing i can do but hurt you anyways
ill dream of you at night
and in the morning light
ill curse myself for waking up
im waiting for you to leave me
because no one will ever believe me

growing nowhere
01:44
|
|||
|
i was thinking about
how you left me outside in the rain
in the rain
i was crying about
how i cant put a finger on the source of my pain
im growing nowhere, im slowing down
im growing nowhere, i cant turn around
i am about to say
something that i will probably regret
after that, it wont be okay
theres still some things that have to be said
im growing nowhere, im slowing down
im growing nowhere, i cant turn around
i was thinking about
how i fuck up everything i do
and the last thing i want
is to disappoint you
im growing nowhere, im slowing down
im growing nowhere, i cant turn around

my style
02:39
|
|||
|
come now oh sally
you arent paying attention
to my invention
its called watching the rain
we sat on a rooftop and sang out our pain
you stopped listening awhile ago
blown through the wind
to my television
i had envisioned a place we could go
buried deep under the snow
you stopped listening awhile ago
all of my days are hollowed out space
i hide beneath a lonely smile
and when i sit home alone for days ill say
"its just my style"

dreaming about things that wont ever happen
dreaming about things that wont ever happen
there are no kind blue eyes
the sun wont ever rise
you wont comfort me
i wont ever sleep
you will destroy your love
i wont rise above
you will shatter soft light
in the window's glass
down the empty street
ill hear the echo of your laugh
this wont ever end
until i cry tonight
this wont ever end
until the clouds shroud morning light
dreaming about things that wont ever happen
dreaming about things that wont ever happen
ill dream about them anyways
ill dream about them anyways

tumbling down the hill
03:20
|
|||
|
i am not alone
youre always with me
and you always will be
until the clock is reset
youll come tumbling down the hill
as i tumble down the hill
in the corner, the corner of my mind
thats where you reside
darling, youll always reside
in the corner, the corner of the woods
thats where youll remove your hood and ill talk to you
in my sleep
you strum your silent chords
ill hear them when im bored
and listening for your voice
until im flooded with grief and joy
ill be another wooden toy
a plaything and a teddy bear
in the corner, the corner of my mind
thats where you reside
darling, youll always reside
in the corner, the corner of the woods
thats where youll remove your hood and ill talk to you
in my sleep

settling
04:06
|
|||
|
home on the range
you haunt me in the day
i was looking for an answer
when i came across your face
rain on the field
why do you have to steal
all my precious sorrow
i never had to feel
i can feel you settling in my head
dog on a leash
you finally run free
to some endless maze
that you can never leave
just for a moment
i settled in a tree
i sat with you a moment
and i never did leave
oh, i never did leave
i can feel you settling in my head
home on the range
you haunt me in the day
i was looking for an answer
when i came across your face
rain on the field
why do you have to steal
all my precious sorrow
i never had to feel

bad morning
03:38
|
|||
|
wake up and look at yourself in the shimmering shine
you know you are not worth a dime
on this bad morning
i am not staring at you
why the hell would i do a thing like that
i am feeling hostile today
you are impossible
everyday
