Her Middle Name
02:47
|

|
her middle name was marie
we shared so many different things
she told me that she didn't see
but she used to want us to be
wish i would have known your goal from the start
definitely would not have taken part
of what you might call a game
and now i can't recall your horrible name

Knight in Dull Armor
02:45

i am lost in my mind, and i feel empty inside
i am lost in my mind, and i feel empty inside
no i'm not everything you dreamed of
but i can be so much more
i can be your knight in dull armor
someone heal this broken mind, and all the madness that's inside
won't you save this broken mind from all the madness that's inside?
no i'm not everything you dreamed of
but i can be so much more
oh i can be your knight in dull armor

For Someone Far Away
03:01
|
|||
|
sometimes when i cry
i think of all the good that has happened, and try to get by
i try to get by
just open your eyes
and see there are others who love you, to help you get by
you don't have to cry
and i know you just can't fuckin' take it
please know that you're not alone
and i wanted to tell you, you don't have to do this on your own
and i know that i'm just a stranger
but i think we've been through the same
oh you're so beautiful, don't you say?

Flaunt

remember the cold night we rose and walked the town?
oh, it must feel nice to forget by now
i wonder if you know that you broke me down
oh, i bet you do. i bet you saved your sound
your sisters, your brothers, your misters and your mother, they'll say
"oh how he loved her, but better luck next time kid, this one is gone.
of her love the new one mugged her."
you said you just had to be with me
sittin' straightly under the elder tree
and ever since that day i've been waiting for you
and ever since that frame, oh the hell you've put me through
run away from me
i beg you stay where i can't see
where this torment can't feed

Entry #1
03:07
|

collect the souls that make you whole
my colored plum, it takes the toll
lie covered love is your only roll
don't dare run back to me now, darlin'
because i will say "run back home."
home

Guts
04:02
|
|||
|
you've got guts, kid
but bad luck, kid
who is it that makes you tumble?
what do you see in her, that makes you crumble?
it must be her perfection, or her complexion
either way your heart still rumbles
she sits upon a bed, with a needle and thread
testing your patience so greatly
you gave her your heart, you gave her your soul
you gave her everything that made you whole
and when all is said and done, you're still with no one
you're just left talkin' to yourself
she deserves so much better than this
how her hair, it reacts to the wind
and her smile can brighten the darkest of days
too bad she'll never know that i felt this way
as i play these strings on my guitar
and i sing these words of sorrow
she shows no remorse
and now our plans have fallen, way off course

Asleep With the Devil
03:04
|
|||
|
i saw the devil and he saw me
i saw the devil and his offspring
where are you, god? you know you owe me
waiting led nowhere, love left its sting
oh no
held again in the bed so tight
he is not worried, he has no fright
the smell of smoke has passed
your eyes stumble another, the thrill feels right
oh no
you made me lose hope in somethin' so beautiful
proven deadly in your own way
you said "come here, love. let's shift that sight
i'll catch your fall, close your eyes."

Summertime Blues
03:22
|
|||
|
i've got the summertime blues
no girl, no job, no money, no food
i feel like i need somethin' new
maybe a little break from you
'cause you just make me cry
it's when i like to setup and hide
somethin' that's hard to describe
can oddly fit in the shape of rhymes
oh i want to get away from it all
i can't take the fuckin' phone calls
you already made your choice
and i don't want to hear your voice
you said you'd stay close to me
but it seems as if you have been freed
no, this song wasn't written for you
here's a toast to findin' someone new
