My Ideal

When I think of you
What can I do, what can I do
It seems so perfect and so true
You're all that I want, all that I want, all I want
You bring out the best in what I feel
You are my ideal, my ideal
Even though I know it's not real
You are my ideal
When I look at you
What can I say, what I say
You lift me up when I am blue
You're all that I need, all I need, all I need
You take my wounds and make them heal
You are my ideal, my ideal
Even though I know it's not real
I look in your eyes and I fantasize
The perfect girl I canonize
When I dream you
You slip away, you slip away
Can't make you stick like glue
These are desperate days, desperate days
Maybe that's part of the appeal
You are my ideal, my ideal
Even though I know it's not real
You are my ideal

Better Bittersweet
03:41
|

Yeah, I know it won’t happen
Not a chance in hell
Just the thought of you and me together
Well that’s a hard sell
I can always fantasize for the good it’ll do
But I know I’ll never get to get
Inside of you
Don’t wanna be bitter, better bittersweet
Yeah, I know I’m pretty stupid
To even think it
Shouldn’t bother to open my mouth
And try to lip sync it
I can always masturbate to the picture in my head
‘Cause I know I’ll never get to get
Within a mile of your bed
You can say that I am a fool
You can say that I’m dumb
But put a pair of sticks in my hands
And lemme bang on your drum
You can say that I’m hopeless
That I don’t have a clue
I spend days and night obsessing
It’s made me beaucoup blue
I can always ruminate, stare at my feet
Don’t wanna be bitter
Better to be bittersweet

Transference

Something's missing
That much is clear
There's a hole in me
Beyond a thin veneer
I need to fill it
With all my might
But I'm afraid
The object will take flight
I put the load on
Put the load on
I put the load on you
I kneel on down
And say a prayer
Keep reaching out
But no one's there
As a last resort
I turn to you
I say my piece
For all the good it'll do
Something's missing
Can't be filled
I cast about
I'm not so skilled
You lick my wounds
You watch me bleed
You say it's not you
Not you that I need

Likely Story
04:25
|

|
There is you and there is me
We built a life
And baby made three
We did our best
As best we could
We did more than we thought we would
And who knew, yeah who knew
Who knew, yeah who knew
I shit you not
This really happened
I shit you not
This really happened
There is them and there is us
We fight like dogs
We kick up a fuss
We built our cities
We dug our graves
We went to castles from living in caves
And who knew, yeah who knew
I shit you not
This really happened
I shit you not
This really happened
There is good and there is bad
From a heart so pure
To a deadbeat dad
Which one are we
It’s hard to say
Maybe we’ll find out
Come judgment day
I shit you not
This really happened
I shit you not
This really happened

A Slight Disturbance
04:55
|
|||
|
What was that
What was that sound
It always seems to happen
When there’s no one around
Wish I could describe it
Just so I can be clear
‘Cause every time I hear it
I feel fear
It’s not in the closet
It’s not under the bed
It’s a slight disturbance in my mind
It’s not in the walls
It’s not in the world outside
It’s a slight disturbance in my mind
It’s kinda spooky
It kinda freaks out
It’s got an ugly mug
And a piggy snout
I think it knows me
It calls out my name
Wish I understood it
Wish I knew its aim
I hear it breathing
I hear its laugh
The look in its eyes
Cuts me in half
I wanna kill it
Wanna send it back to hell
But it lives within me
Inside my every cell

I Am Your Mirror
04:11
|
|||
|
Wake yourself up it's a beautiful day
Open your eyes
Don't you while away
Face me
I stare back at you
I do what you do
Do what you do
I am your mirror
Do you like what you see
I am your mirror
What you see is me
The better the light
The clearer the reflection
Not so pretty
On closer inspection
Let the light pass through your eyes
To the spot
Where there's no disguise
Dream me
I have your face
No one takes your place
Takes your place
I am your rags and bones
And all your sticks and stones
Only shatter the two of us
I am he as you are he
As you are me
And we are all together
Get out and take your stupid face
No sense in messing up the place
Love me and I'll love you back
I make up for what you lack

Never Enough
04:30
|
|||
|
I claw my to the mountaintop
And the air up here is pretty clear
I look down on the earth below
And my soul it sheds a tear
How much is enough
And how much is too little
As far as I know it's never enough
Never enough to be second fiddle
How much, never enough
How much
I spend my life doing shit I hate
Just to make enough to survive
There's always someone on top me
Someone more alive
As far as I know it's never enough
As far as I know it's never enough
There's a hole in me that can't be filled
It's as deep as a bottomless pit
There ain't no light shining down on me
Just a voice saying I should quit

Take Me Home
05:06
|
|||
|
Well I wander through this old town
And I don't know where I'm going
What is around the bend
I have no way
No way of knowing
Could you take me home
Could you take me home
Well I ramble through this old world
And I have no real connection
I put myself out on the line
Just looking for a little affection
Well I know I'm a hopeless case
There ain't nothing to be done
You can scream your head off at me
But I'll always be the unfortunate son
Well I hope you're doing well
And your dreams they all come true
As for me, I'll be on my way
But I'll always
Always think of you

Give me what I want
Or I will take it
There are certain things that I require
I have basic needs
That need to be filled
I need to fill my heart's burning desire
I want all you got
And if I don't get it
I will make you rue the day you were born
Don't give a shit
What you think of me
I don't care if I'm the butt of your scorn
I can feel it
I can feel it in my veins
They will find it
They will find it my remains
The heart wants what it wants
And it's gonna get it
The heart needs what it needs
Won't let you forget it
I won't let it go
Once I get it
I hope you don't take me for some kind of fool
I'm no easy mark
No pushover
I don't care if I got to be cruel
Got a gaping hole
Right in my middle
And I will fill with the guts of weak
At the finish line
I break the ribbon
I step right over tender hands of the meek
I can hear it
I can hear it growing stronger
Can't control it
Can't control it any longer
I want everything
Yes I want it all
Want all the money
Want to be ten feet tall
I want your love
I want your respect
Yes you heard me clear
Yes you heard correct

The Curtain Came Down
03:43
|
|||
|
We took our bows
The curtain came down
On every stage
On every stage
The lights went out
The curtain came down
The end of an age
And the weak will inherit nothing
No brave new world at their command
Yeah the weak will inherit nothing
There will be no promised land
New order reigns
The old departs
On every stage
On every stage
No sweet farewells
No songs in our hearts
The end of an age
You can be so sentimental
You can be so sentimental
But the change is elemental
New world begins
Lo and behold
On every stage
On every stage
New world begins
Toss out the old
The end of an age

It was a lifetime ago
But it seems like only yesterday
Well I gave it all I had but then I
Then I just had to get away
I'm sorry if you are mad at me
I didn't mean to bring you down
But I just couldn't take it
No I just couldn't take it
I just couldn't stick around
It was a lifetime away but it feels just around the bend
When I go to sleep at night
It's into that world I descend
I don't mean to get you all worked up
I don't mean to raise your ire
But I can't see me, see hanging 'round, no
That's not my desire
I won't be seeing you again
Never and a day, never and a day
I won't be seeing you again
Won't come back this way
It was a lifetime of pain
One I can't seem to shake for the life of me
Can't you see what I was going through
Poke your head out of your canopy
I know I said it a thousand times
But I finally made good on my word
Look out side your window my friend
That's me, that there bird

While You Could
05:24
|

|
It’s not the end
It might surprise you
A little time will tell
My heavy head has taken over
With everything you’ve said
Whenever the memory
Hits you in the heart
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
While you could
While you could
I’m disappointed
But I'm not sad and done
Even if I’m broken
My heavy heart has taken over
With everything I've lost
Whenever the memory
Hits you in the heart
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could
While you could
Whenever the walls come down
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
Find a piece of me
Somewhere inside you
Find a piece of me
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could
Regrets you didn’t love me
While you could
