Fat Man and Little Boy
03:44
|
|||
|
You were big and I was small
You crushed me beneath your weight
I screamed and cried
Hey knock it off
You laughed and said checkmate
You’re my stooge boy
You're my stooge
Fat man and little boy
Twice as big as me
Fat man and little boy
Big ol’ chicken and a tiny chickadee
You loomed large above me
Like great big towering oak
I was a just a mere seedling
You were ornate and baroque
Get out of my way, boy
Get out of my way
Fat man and little boy
Destroyer of worlds
You were as vast as an endless sky
I was unseen star in the daylight
I dissolved into your oblivion
While you maintained a great height
Get along little pony
Get along

Shredding Me Up
04:31
|
|||
|
I wrote me a book to explain just how I feel
To make what I feel be real
And the reason that I did it
Was to get through to you
But you were through with me
Now you’re shredding me up
You’re shredding me up
You’re tossing me out with the waste
Yeah you’re shredding me up
You are shredding me up
You are doing it post haste
Wouldn’t have done it without you
So I only have you to blame
It took all I had and then it took some more
And in the end
I was beaten up
Beaten up and broke down
Like it don’t mean nothing
I t don’t mean nothing
It don’t mean nothing at all to you
I wrote me a book to explain just how I feel
I wanted to say my piece
And a whole lot more
But to you I am a busted toy
And you will put me in the trash
When you are done

Forgiveness
03:57
|
|||
|
We all make mistakes
And man I've managed some doozies
Said I lived a wild life
Ran around with some floozies
But I was pulling your leg
With my verbal mumblety-peg
Won't you forgive me
Forgive my transgressions
I am sorry for the harm that I've done
Won't you forgive me
Let me off the hook
Don't kill off the fun
We all screw shit up
It's part of the human condition
But we can patch things up
If we make an admission
Admit you're a dick
Do that right quick
If you forgive me
If you really mean
Then we set each other free
We all get things wrong
And we get it wrong more often than not
Just listen to with your heart
And you will find the plot
Open up your mind
Leave the past far behind

Long Time Gone
04:25
|
|||
|
Living in a dream
A twisted, endless dream
It feels weirdly familiar and strange
I try to hold on to it
But then it slips away
As it moves in and out of range
Long time gone
I am long time gone
I am no longer here
Long time gone
I am long time gone
Where did I disappear
Who do I know
Don’t know no one
I am an outlier in my own town
The faces I see
They all look foreign to me
And their voices make a alien sound
I am long time gone
I am long time gone
Don’t expect to ever see me back
I am long time gone
I am long time gone
Even I can’t even keep track
Wish you could see you
The way I see you
And then you would know how I feel
But you will never know
Just what I think I know
And I know is beautiful and surreal

You Done Me In
04:30
|
|||
|
Thought that I was safe here
But I thought wrong
You took ripped me up and tore me down to pieces
I didn’t see it coming
When you lowered the boom
Now I got hurt that never ceases
Why did you do it
I don’t think you know
You just did it like a commando
You done me in, you shot me down
You knew exactly what to do
You done me in, you blew me up
You thew my whole wind world out of true
You done me in
Thought that you loved me
I thought wrong
Turns out you did not give a shit
You took my heart
And stomped it with your foot
You’re a cruel and wicked hypocrite
You knew just where I was wounded
And then you stuck your finger in
When it comes to transgressions
That’s the worst kind of sin
Ii thought that maybe deep down
You had a soft spot
But that soft spot is really just a black abyss
And I fell into it
And then I disappeared
In Kafka-esque metamorphosis
I never mattered
And I never will
Once I’m gone I’m gone like a wilted daffodil

Leave Me Alone
04:26
|
|||
|
Don't get too close
Don't stand in my way
Don't block my view
Six ways to Sunday
Don't you be hurtful
Don't you be cruel
If you're mean to me
I will kick you like a mule
I don't want you no more
You hurt me down to the bone
That's it, that's all, I am gone
Leave me alone
Don't get in my face
Don't block the door
Don't try to stop me
You hateful carnivore
Don't you abuse me
My scars run deep
I am an open wound
You mother fucking bleep
You can't catch me
You can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close
I'll be gone like a breeze
Don't pretend to care
Don't do your schtick
I ain't buying in
No not one lick
This is the last time
You get to beat me
Until the next time
You mistreat me

I Know Your Name
04:04
|
|||
|
I remember what you said
And the way that you said it
I was listening much closer than you knew
And I agree with some of it
But I must say not all of it
You were never 100 percent true
I know your name
I know your name
It is scrawled across my memory
I know your name
I know your name
Your name is, your name is
I remember how you looked
When I looked you in the eye
You had a look that stopped my heart
Your face was perfect
But not too perfect
To me it’s just like abstract art
What’s your name
Who’s your daddy
Is he rich, is he rich like me
Has he taken
Any time
To show you what you need to live
I remember how you moved
And the way you moved me
It was a movement as fluid as a swirl
You sashayed over
And wrapped me your curves
And I swore I would never forget this girl

Fear of Missing Out
05:22
|
|||
|
I am living close to the edge
So close I’m spilling over the top
Can’t hit the breaks and slow myself down
Can’t make myself stop
Don’t know what's leading me
Why I have this strange compulsion
Tethered as I am
Tethered as I am
Tethered as I am
And stirring up the emulsion
For the fear of missing out
For the fear of missing out
Lost in loathing and self-doubt
And my fear of missing out
I am hanging on the rim of a cliff
I am about to fall into the abyss
No one’s coming to rescue me
Boo and hiss
I am gathering up momentum
And I am hurtling like a stone
And it is gonna hurt
It is gonna hurt
It is gonna hurt
It is gonna hurt down in my bone
It’s all getting away
It’s all getting away from me
I can feel it banging, banging like shivaree
I am living life without a net
And I am losing the last of my strength
Take someone with balls of brass
To go that extra length
Wish I had what it takes
But I’m a lousy excuse for a man
I am going back
Yeah I am going back
Going back to where it all began

As Easy As Pie
03:41
|
|||
|
Why is everything so frickin’ hard
Why can't it be easy instead
We always get in our own way
Why can’t we get out of our head
When will we get it right
When will we see the light
It’s as easy as pie
It’s as easy as pie
Either we live or we die
It’s as easy as pie
Why are we so frickin’ stupid
Why do we get our shit wrong
If we only changed our point of view
We could learn to play along
But that’s not what we do
As we twist the thumbscrew
So many flavors to be tasted
Apple, cheery or Boston cream
There's so much more if we wanted
And we’d be living the dream
Why don't we grasp what is simple
Why do we overcomplicate
There’s a whole wide world of loving
But we always turn to hate
Why is this our lot
Why can't we change the plot

Burned Me Down
04:28
|
|||
|
Why did you do it
Just gotta wonder
You had no good reason at all
But you went ahead and did it
You knocked me down
You made me feel so small
Only one thing I can figure
You burned me down
Burned me down
Burned me down like dry wood
Why did it you do it
Why did it you do it
You did it 'cause you could
Didn’t see your cruel streak
Till it came clear
Then I wondered why I missed it
It was always there
In plain view
Once upon a time I kissed it
Now I want that kiss back
The strong prey on the weak
Throughout all history
I opened up a door to you
And you preyed on me
Why did you hurt me
You didn’t need to
None of it did I deserve
I begged for kindness
I begged for mercy
But then you went and threw me a curve
Now I am broken

Hit Me Where I Live
04:23
|
|||
|
You know my whole life's story
I've told it all to you
There are no secrets I've got hiding
All the lies and all what's true
No mysteries left to unscrew
So if want to gut me
In a way I can't forgive
You know just where to hit me
Where to hit me where I live
You know where I am vulnerable
You know my weakest spot
You know right where to hurt me
Where it hurts me a lot
What is cold and what is hot
You know all about my suffering
All the shit that I have lost
All those very precious things
How most of it got tossed
Blown away like exhaust

World Without End
04:49
|
|||
|
There is a place
Beyond all time and space
And it is waiting
Waiting 'round the bend
As it was in the beginning
Is now and shall forever be
A world without end
Come along with me
Come take this ride
Together we will go to the other side
Come along with me
Come take my hand
Together we will go to the promised land
There is a life
A life like none I’ve known
It is real
And it is pretend
As it was in the beginning
Is now and shall forever be
A world without end
There is a world
A world where dreams come true
Where hearts
Hearts go to mend
As it was in the beginning
Is now and shall forever be
A world without end
