All My Yesterdays
04:30
|

When I look back
On all the crazy things I’ve done
I think about the stuff I’ve lost
And the stuff I’ve won
What can I say
Can't make tails, can't make heads
I pull on a corner
And unravel all the threads
All my of time it has passed
Just like a passing phase
And all my yesterdays
Have just vanished in a haze
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon back
When I see myself
In my reflection
All the good and bad
It makes a connection
What is the meaning
What are the conditions
What is reasonable
And what are superstitions
The sun is going down
And the darkness is on the rise
Can't stave it off
No matter how hard I agonize
This life that I've known
Well it's all now in the past
It may have been hell
But it was over way too fast

Don't Take It Easy
03:36
|
|||
|
A little bit of dissonance
Can slay you like a little girl
But like an irritant
It can also make a pearl
Don’t start giving up
When things are at their worst
You may think you’re done
When your heart’s about to burst
Don’t take it easy
When you see a thundercloud
You may find yourself in Winslow Arizona
Bloodied but unbowed
If you go a-looking for an answer
You may be a-wanting
You think it should be simple
When in fact it is quite daunting
But keep all your spirits high
And don’t let yourself give in
You can go a long, long way
When you are truly driven
Don’t take it easy, don’t take it easy
You're not owed a living
That’s what your mom once said
Just find your rhythm
And bang on your drumhead
The world is crazy
But don’t let that get you down
Just keep your head held high
And you won’t ever drown

You Don't Feel Nothing
04:11
|
|||
|
I write these songs all for you
And I mean every single word
I know you don’t listen or so you say
But I remain undeterred
Here is my heart and soul
Whaddaya mean you don’t feel nothing
You are my rock and my roll
Whaddaya mean you don’t feel nothing
Whaddaya mean, whaddaya mean
Whaddaya mean you don’t feel nothing
I’ve built a testment to you
As a symbol to your glory
You can pretend I’m stone crazy
But that won’t change the story
You’re the reason I’m alive
And I know you resist that obligation
If only you would change your mind
And tune into this vibration

Radiate
04:43
|
|||
|
All those things that you say
Circulate around my mind
They are with me all day long
I can’t leave them far behind
They feed my dreams
They feed my soul
They are the food
That makes me whole
You radiate
With the power of the sun
You radiate
Your day is never done
All those stories that you tell
They fill up the pages of my book
I keep them close to my heart
Inside my every nook
They tell me
What I can be
They are the words
That comprise my history
I'm a circle around your sun
All the love that you give
It blows through me like a gale
I hold on for dear life
Savoring each detail
Don’t want you to stop
Don’t want you to leave
You are my last hope
For what I might achieve

What I Resent
05:04
|
|||
|
You say that you love me
But I know that you're lying
You make such an effort
Don't bother trying
It's what you do
I'm sure you're sincere
But haven't you noticed
I'm no longer here
What I resent
You think I should believe
What I resent
You think you don't deceive
What I resent
Is that flicker in your eye
What I resent
Is that it's really all a lie
You say that you want me
But what do you intend
I am flesh and blood
I am not pretend
I will never fit
Your perfect vision
I am good and bad
Heading for a collision
You say that you need me
But what do you need
If you prick me
I will bleed
What hurts me most
Is that you don't see me
You've got no idea
What it is to be me

That Dark Place
04:22
|
|||
|
Don't wanna talk about it
But if you insist
OK here goes
There is a place
Deep down inside of me
You can call it dark I suppose
It is pretty scary
It is pretty scary
That dark place
Yeah that dark place
Can't control it, can't control it
That dark place
Yeah that dark place
Down at the bottom
Down at the bottom
Don't wanna discuss it
'Cause what can I say
Am I really that grotesque
It sickens me to think it
Sickens me to live it
Bizarre and burlesque
It is pretty ugly
It is pretty ugly
Just wanna tear my eyes out
Just wanna tear my eyes out
Just wanna tear my eyes out of my head
Don't wanna ever go there
But I go there every day
And I fear that I might not return
Am I drawn to it
What's the curiosity
Is really so hard for me to learn
It is truly crazy
It is truly crazy

Just to Be With You
03:44
|
|||
|
I would lay my life down
Lay it down
And I would do it with no thought
I would give you my heart
I would give you my soul
If you'd on have this have-not
Just to be with you
Just to hold your hand
And never, never let you go
Just to be with you
Just to hold you close
Just to bask in your glow
I would listen close
I would hear you out
I would write down every word
I would make a book
Put it in your drawer
You would know you've been heard
What I wouldn't do
What I wouldn't do
Just to be with you
I would hear your jokes
I would laugh out loud
You would know that someone gets you
I would hold you close
I would hold you tight
You would know that someone fits you

Ressentiment
04:58
|
|||
|
You would like to keep me here
Chained to the old ways
You’d wanna lock me in your dreams
Back from those old dreamy days
It’s not like we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that
Keep me here, darling keep me here
Keep me here, honey keep me here
You only see me as I was
More than a little bit dumb
Who’d ever have predicted
All of the things to come
It’s not like what we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that
You say, don’t go changing who you are
Don’t go changing my memoir
I prefer the way I like to recall
The past don’t need no overall
You’d like to stick me like a bug
And pretend that everything’s the same
I hate to shatter your fantasy
But you knew me by a different name
It’s not like we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that

Stuck on You
04:33
|
|||
|
Sorry you had to see this
Sorry you've been a witness
You see I'm all screwed up
Not good with my mental fitness
I've grown quite attached
Yeah there's no denying
If I said I did not love ya
I would be lying
I am stuck on you
What do I do
Stuck on you
Through and through
I am stuck on you
My world's askew
Stuck on you
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo
Sorry I'm such a pain
Sorry I've caused you grief
You want to run and hide
Just to get relief
I wish I didn't feel this
Wish the feelings weren't so strong
But what I get from you
Is what I've wanted my whole life long
Sorry you've had to listen
Sorry you've heard my story
Wish things were getting better
Wish it were hunky dory
Wish I could be different
Wish I could change my mind
Wish I could be done with you
But that's not how I'm designed

Misery
03:36
|
|||
|
Can't say what good you do me
The pain it courses through me
Hey I just want to let you go
Wish that I could damn you
Or maybe Son of Sam you
And get away from your shadow
I call your name
Call it right out loud
I call it out my chickadee
I call your name
Call it right out loud
I call it misery
I feel so broke and weak
I can hardly speak
I'd like to punch in the guts
You flipped on all my switches
I am a mass of glitches
More than a little bit nuts
I remember all the little things we done
Can't you see you are my only one
Your memory it taunts me
Like a ghost it haunts me
And it will haunt me to the end
I am caught in your spell
Living in this living hell
Down, down, down I descend
|

Don't Call on Me
03:58
|
|||
|
Each to their own
Each to their own they say
It's the only way we've ever known
Find your own path
And find it for yourself
In the end, they say, you will wind up alone
Don't call on me
'Cause I won't be there
Don't call on me
'Cause I don't care
I am not who you want me to be
I am only here for me
Don't look to me
Don't you look to me for answers
Gotta find it in your own way
I am not a god
I am not an oracle
I am not the writer of your screenplay
Got my own life
My own way of living
And you need, you need to let me go
I know that it hurts
I know it will break you down
I say goodbye and you say hello

Let It All Be Forgiven
05:45
|
|||
|
Can’t you see
The look in me
The look in me
And can’t you feel
It’s not easy loving you
And I don’t ever see you trying
And I keep fighting what’s meant to be
Let it all be for forgiven
Let it all be for forgiven
Can’t you see
The fire in me
And can’t you feel
It’s not easy loving you
And I don’t ever see you trying
And I keep fighting what’s meant to be
