Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
when I said "I'll put my money where my mouth is"
and I put my money where my mouth was
until I couldn't breathe through my nose
and now I'm starring at the floor
where my second life just ended,
where I lost not one, but two friends.
yeah, I had it all
sitting on top of the world
but I threw it away.
just to prove that I could,
I put my money where my mouth is
see, I recall quite perfectly who I was
both before and after the drugs
both before and after the drugs
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth was
I got a strong will, just weak hands
and I don't know what to do
with either one of them
yeah, I had it all
sitting on top of the world
but I threw it away.
just to prove that I could,
just to prove that I could,
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
you're the knight in shining armor
with a mother and a father,
you had everything
everything you needed
and it was made crystal clear
that would not change
yeah, I had it all
sitting on top of the world
but I threw it away.
just to prove that I could,
yeah, I had it all
yeah I had it good, so good
but I threw it away.
just to prove that I could,
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
yeah, I had it all...

Feeling This
Dammit
I'm simple, yeah, I'm plain.
I'm colored all the same.
I have meaning if you find it in yourself.
I'll sell myself or not,
like I really give a fuck
I'm just an artist on a shelf.
I gave my things away.
I called the people that I only see on holidays,
this next year's going to burn a hole in me.
I spent my weekdays in my car
and the weekends drinking hard enough for two.
I think I'll settle down one of these days,
till I catch my breath.
I feel the weight of the world on my back
but I'm not feeling sick to death.
Because I laid awake in bed and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy
in laying down and never waking up.
Never waking up.
I learned a lot today
cus' there's a reason why I'll never live the easy way,
I'm trying to be real.
I wrote down words inside my arm
that say "I'll never walk alone" 'cause I get tired.
I know I'll have my friends in every way,
so I caught my breath,
and for the first time I found what I'm looking for.
I laid awake in bed and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy
in laying down and never waking up.
Never waking up.
I laid awake in bed and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy
in laying down and never waking up.
Never waking up.
Yeah, I went down.
Yeah, I found a way.
In the city where my father was born
I had a dream I moved out west.
I finally found out what I wanted to be
so I picked up where I left;
and I waited two more years
and covered up my ears.
I think I'm ready to sing this time.
I really think I'm gone.
I laid awake in bed and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy
in laying down and never waking up.
Never waking up.
I laid awake in bed and thought of better times.
I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy
in laying down and never waking up.
Never waking up.
After you came and went
How can you say you meant anything different
To anyone standing alone
On the street with a cigarette
On the first night we met
Look to the past
And remember and smile.
And maybe tonight
I can breathe for awhile.
I'm not in the scene
I think I'm fallin' asleep
But then all that it means is
I'll always be dreaming of you.
And hardly ever to anyone else
It's not that I have nothing to share
I'm just not quite ready to reveal the faults I bare
But I'm pretty sure that I'd prefer some company
Now every night I find myself here
Battling good and evil and facing every fear
So I turn off the lights and I turn off my phone
Lay on the floor and face being alone
It's not as bad as you'd think
But I'm pretty sure that I'd prefer some company
So I've got this problem with talking to myself
About learning to live with the hand life has dealt
I discover solutions over and over again
But I drown them out over every weekend
I'm still pretty sure that I'd prefer some company
Not cold bodies but someone to expect more from me
So just pour a drink,
Let’s talk it over.
I’m back after all these years.
Don’t be afraid my dear,
Now I’m older.
‘Cause people change,
Can’t you see my eyes?
Are they not the same after the lies?
I know I’m like a machine,
But I still have dreams.
I know one day we will…
Sleep for days.
Come over, come over.
I won’t make the same mistakes.
I’m dying not to hurt you.
In our dreams we can be complete again.
When you were young,
You kept a list
Of the things you miss as you got older.
I know you in every life I’ve lived.
Yeah, I’m still a kid
Even though I’m colder.
When you were a child
I was lost in the wild
But you built a home for me in the grove.
I was born in the cold,
Turn up the heat,
I know one day we will…
Sleep for days.
Come over, come over.
I won’t make the same mistakes.
I’m dying not to hurt you.
In our dreams we can be complete
If we go to sleep
We can wake up home again.
(Come on over again, over again.)
Sleep for days,
Come over, come over.
I won’t make the same mistakes.
Come over, come over.
I’m dying not to hurt you.
Sleep for days.
I won’t make the same mistakes.
Come over, come over.
I’m dying not to hurt you.
In our dreams we can be complete
If we go to sleep
We can wake up home again.
Come over, come over, come over
Come over, come over, come over.
I'm a mess,
turn a page,
I'm a book half unread,
I want to be laughed at,
laughed with,
just because,
I want to feel weightless,
and that should be enough,
but I'm stuck in this fucking rut,
waiting on a second hand pick-me-up,
and I'm over getting older,
If I could just find the time,
then I would never let another day go by,
I'm over getting old,
Maybe its not my weekend,
but its gonna be my year,
I'm so sick of,
watching while the minutes pass,
as I go nowhere,
and this is my reaction,
to everything I fear,
'cause I've been going crazy,
I don't want to waste another minute here,
Make believe,
that I impress,
that every word,
by design turns a head,
I wanna feel reckless,
wanna live it up,
just because,
I want to feel weightless,
'cause that would be enough,
If I could just find the time,
then I would never let another day go by,
I'm over getting old,
Maybe its not my weekend,
but its gonna be my year,
I'm so sick of,
watching while the minutes pass,
as I go nowhere,
this is my reaction,
to everything I fear,
'cause I've been going crazy,
I don't want to waste another minute here,
This could be all I've waited for,
this could be everything and I don't want to dream anymore,
Maybe its not my weekend,
but its gonna be my year
and I've been going crazy,
I'm stuck in here...
Maybe its not my weekend,
but its gonna be my year,
I'm so sick of,
watching while the minutes pass,
as I go nowhere,
this is my reaction,
to everything I fear,
'cause I've been going crazy,
I don't want to waste another minute here.
that everyone can see right through
there's some part of me that has died
and I don't know which hell it went to.
See I've been locking my self away
so the world doesn't have to see
the boy who is made out of glass
and everyone can see I'm empty.
but I never give any time
to fix the things I've left undone.
I'm not so tired
I'm just lazy of all I've become.
Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.
Now there's a problem with myself
and everyone thinks they've got me figured out,
but I'm made up of stories
that are mostly true until someone finds out.
I've just built up this wall
from the ground up and I'm not taking it down
until I find a good reason to wear my heart on my sleeve
but you can't expect that from me (anymore!)
but I never give the time
to speak words that you can't describe.
I'm just so stuck up
with my world.
Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.
so I'll smoke myself to sleep
and burn the bed out from under the sheets
until the house is in flames
and no one can escape
but I drift off peacefully.
And when I go I'll see the light
of ships that are lost at sea
I'll see them start to sink
and I'll drown with the crew
peacefully.
Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.
I remember like we were alive.
I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls.
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her.
Licking young boys blood from her claws.
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
Her hair was rabid and her heart was like a tomb.
My heart's like a wound.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life.
Better safe than making the party.
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
With papers and poetry about Estella.
Great expectations, we had the greatest expectations.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
It's funny how the night moves.
Humming a song from 1962.
We were always waiting...always waiting.
We were always waiting for something to happen.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you.
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
May I never lose my youth and If I do, may I be forgettable.
Freshly from the wash
Still hot from the dryer
Even now I can smell your skin
To wrap you in a towel
Lay you on the bed
And try to love you
Even now I can feel your arms
I can feel your breast
I can hear your songs
And I always can find you again
Even now I can feel your hand
Gently over mine
With almost no weight at all
Even now I can feel your eyes
Watch me as I strum
Much too late at night
Even now I can see you smile
I can hear you hum
I can hear you sing
And I always can find you again
Even in the dark of night
Even in the lowest light
Even as the world outside
Is spinning, and spinning
Even now I can feel your hair
Blow across my cheek
As we sit in one of two chairs
Even now I can feel your face
Resting on my chest
Wrestling for sleep
And failing at it
Even now I can see you sleep
I can see you dream
I can see you fly
And I always can find you again
And I always can find you again
And I always can find you again
