Not Ready
03:14

I realized tonight
That you're not ready
I don't want to fight
You're too unsteady
I don't want to wait around
Hoping things will improve
There ain't nothing here for me
There ain't nothing left for you
I'm gonna say goodbye to you tomorrow
I'm gonna wave my hand with no sorrow
I'm gonna move on and drop my weight in the morning
I'll once again be care-free, no more mourning
I didn't realize how much you
Care what others think
You're flirty with other guys
I felt my heart start to sink
I wish this was a dream so
I could awake
Cause I don't wanna bend I don't wanna break
So I gotta turn and walk away

Tied Down
04:07
|
|||
|
I have to take you, drive you, walk you
Everywhere that I go
You can't stand that there's something
That you might not know
I don't see my friends
My time is not my own
Anger and suspicion
Are your only tones
Now we're all gone
I'm tied down
Got no breathing space
I'm tied down
Why can't you just get off of my case?
When we first got together
I thought I was in heaven
Had no idea what was coming my way
Wasn't paying much attention
Then when to walk
I found a ball and a chain
wrapped round my leg
But that innocent and beautiful face
You're pulling me down
You clipped my wings
Just wanna get away
I'd give so many things if I could
You're pulling me down

So
04:40
|
|||
|
It's evening
And he is not near
Closes the shutters
Blocks out another fear
She wants to fight it
But the truth is all too clear
Another morning
Light shines through the blinds
She rolls on over
But there's no one on the other side
So
Take us away
So
I don't feel alone
I don't feel alone
Es el noche
He walks right through the door
She says where have you been?
It's easy for him to ignore
She gets a lump in her throat
Can't take this anymore
She hears his voice again in her mind
For the one thousandth time
Turns up the radio to drown out the sounds
Can't fight it, can't deny it
Will it always be this way?
Another voice says turn around and believe

Hold You Forever
04:52
|
|||
|
Hold you forever
Hold you inside
I know you're here
But most of you has died
Nothing I said could
Change your mind
Your addiction left
Everything behind
I wonder would you still be here
If you weren't so blind?
I remember the Mondays
We spent together
You made me so many things
No one else was better
The person you were I will
Love forever
And when I look at her
She reminds me of what she isn't
Now she's only
The ghost of what she used to be
No one else was better
Maybe I'll see you again

Denial
04:00
|
|||
|
I'm lost again
I can't find the meaning
But don't explain to me
How my soul's depleting
You're wrong
I can't be this way
Addicted song
Press it, I will not play
I'm in denial again
And my conscience will not bend
I'm in denial again
Like a song I hate, it's stuck in my head
I'm blind again
Don't ask me to reason
I want and I'll get
How is that treason?
Will I be forgiven?

Falling
03:17
|
|||
|
Drape me in beautiful things to
Hide the hollow feelingless space
Give me some glistening wings to
Lie that I am free
I want to feel free
I want to fall
See me falling down through the air
Slow and calming I do not care
See me falling I feel the air
And I know it's a dream but
Please don't wake me up
Wreathe my bland zombie presence in fire
To hide that I have no ambition
Give me some shallow followers to lie that
I am loved
I want to feel loved
I want to fall
Please don't wake me

Stupid
03:26
|
|||
|
I'm crazy
I feel stupid
I'm lazy
I need cupid
So lonely
I can't stand it
If only
I were a bandit
And I need some excitement
Far from this place
And I happen to know that
I'm a disgrace
Don't want to look at my problems
Face to face
Maybe I'd have fun if I had some..
Well I need something to look forward to
And I want someone to hold on to, but not you
Too many problems of your own
I'd much rather be on my own
I like candy
Not pajamas
Don't want to be handy
I hate karma
I like to dance
I love to sing
Do you like romance?
Does this mean a thing?
I'm crazy
and I feel stupid
So lazy
and I feel stupid
So lonely
and I feel stupid
If only
and I feel stupid

She's A Snake
05:20
|
|||
|
She says
It'll all be over soon
But I know those lies
And she says
I'll make it up to you to me
But I know that angel disguise
That leads and pains me on
Life's such a dagger
Poised and ready to stab
When you live
For things that drive you mad
Oh and it's you
Who makes it fall and cut you a part
I wait
And I hope to expect her to call
But the phone don't ring
Drunk sweet
She flutters in and fills me up
But none of my wounds will mend
I get to passive to voice a complaint
So I will burn
Cause I stick my face in the fire
How can I learn
When I know what's right
But I won't answer?
I make it fall and cut me a part
Help yourself
By getting a smack in the face
She's a snake
So just find a new happy place
I said get away
Or you'll wind up
Cold and miserable
I said get away
Find something new for that space to be filled
He got soul he got fire
He got man-eating poison
Cannot defeat desire
For life, and something higher
Now no one's bringing him down
And he feels inspired
Soul fire yeah

Not Right Now
04:33
|
|||
|
Don't ask me
Don't even start
Can't you just let me
Rest my heart?
If there was some way
For me to talk to you
Believe me I would
When my mind is clear
When I can see
When my fears are gone
When I am brave
When my wounds do heal
I will tell you how I feel
But for now just let the melodies
Of my voice soothe your concern
I'm sorry if I seem
Insensitive
Confusion
Has scribbled my love away
I know this is hurting
But I'm sure we'll find a way
I think in the end
It will make us stronger
I think in the end
It will bring us closer
But not right now
Not right now, no

Turned
03:06
|

|
You know what missing turned to?
A beautiful new world
That is
Smiling at me
Smiling at me
You know what longing turned to?
A wonderful new girl
That is
Smiling at me
Smiling at me
You know what I shouldn't have done for me?
I shouldn't have sat in my little sea
Swimming with regret and self pity
I should've let things go
Oh I should've let things go
You know what crying turned to?
A warm soothing bath
That is
Holding me
Cleansing me
Loving me
I learned a lesson
From pain
I learned a lesson and I'm not
Going to make
The same mistakes again
