The news
03:26

shut up the voices inside my head
who put you there anyways?
go on right on back to your bed
go on and lay down your heavy head
I don't wanna worry you tell my I do
now I'm gonna look at you, you the fool
I don't wanna doubt but you tell me I do
now I'm gonna shout at look whose the fool
was it Mom or Dad, or Mr. President?
or Mrs. Kindergarten
who told me to lament about the news?
out with you worry you've troubled me long
I've just listened to a song
now I know that you've always been wrong
ever since I listened to that old song
if you come back I'll greet you "farewell"
have a nice trip to your non existent hell
was it Mom or Dad, or Mr. President?
or Mrs. Kindergarten
who told me to lament about the news?

I used to wander
04:17
|
|||
falling freckles of water slip through the silence in unseen ways
lifting up the soft light in flashing fancy movements and dashing arrays
finding it's way out as always, these things never seem to stay quite the same
a small hint turns to a puddle of the truth
reflecting it's thoughts out in it's very own ways
I used to wander around thinking of you
and I still wander around too
stirring 'round so feverishly
churning and murmuring pure insecurities
and true masterpieces through time
combined with the echos of every one of it's drops in my mind
sunlight shoots through a crooked roof of leaves
leaving only a faint whisper of what we used to be
charming song flies by fills my head
with full memories of glasses of wine and laying in your bed
I used to wander around thinking of you
and I still wander around too
creeping shadows slowly block the haze from view and rearrange a ruined photograph of you
silent film sounds fill my ears and fix my eyes to a wall very far from here
a clear front on the cusp of insanity
holding on lovely to your women, their grenadine
pulling back a smile from your face
petals spinning smoothly
descends with your addictive taste
I used to wander around thinking of you
and I still wander around thinking of you
I used to wander around thinking of you
and I still wander around thinking of you
I used to wander around thinking of you
and I still wander around too

That's number two
03:44
|

if I stayed up all night
waiting to hear from you
but I never heard from you
what the hell would I do?
if the night turned to day
and the birds began to sing
I think that sunrise
would be the loneliest thing
I could stare at the phone
and talk to a lonesome trombone
it wound do me any good
cause I'd still be all alone
I might go out for a walk
just a bit around the block
if the block should never end
I'd be caught without a friend
I could can worry forever
I've done it before
but my life without you
would be a fucking bore
drinking alone could be fun
but it only makes me think of you
and then once again
I'd be stuck without a clue
well I know that I love you
it's one thing that true
I would never hurt you
and that's number two

All I need to know
01:59
|
|||
my love, my love
my sweetheart tonight
it don't take much to know when it's right
you're the one
so soft tonight
when I lay next to you
everything is alright
I don't need shit
I don't need money
all i need to have
is you here, my honey
I could walk away from you
but both of us know that it could not be true

Try and let it go
03:43
|
|||
Are you feeling kind of slow?
are you feeling like the weather wont ever let you go?
if you're feeling like the snow
then pack your bags and lift your feet
head someplace that no one else will know
and try and let it go
I can stay, or pass alone
I can make you feel so low, make you all alone
don't ever try and be so bold
old jealousy will steal your heart
turn you into someone you don't know
so try and let it go
