Ogygia
04:47
|

All my friends
Want to stay inside
They won't ever
Expand their minds
Ogygia
The gods won't save us now
Odysseus
Tried to save us
Tried to save us and failed
The sound of the ocean
Is all they'll ever hear
The sound of the siren
Is drawing near
Ogygia
The gods won't save us now
Odysseus
Tried to save us
Tried to save us and failed
You gotta get up
You gotta get out

Give It Back
04:28
|
|||
I can almost feel my heart decay
After every word I hear you say
I can almost see you cry inside
Every time I look into your eyes
Into your eyes
Babe, you stole my heart
Did you give it back?
Babe, you haunt my mind
With thoughts of our past
Used to think I could
Maybe kill for you
Now I think I would
Rather just kill you
I can almost feel my heart decay
After every word I hear you say
I can almost see you cry inside
Every time I look into your eyes
Into your eyes
Babe, you stole my heart
It's time you give it back
Babe, you rule my mind
Isn't that a laugh?
Babe, you're making me
Start to doubt myself
Make me think I can't be
With nobody else
I can almost feel my heart decay
After every word I hear you say
I can almost see you cry inside
Every time I look into your eyes
Into your eyes
I'm sorry, I
Didn't mean to be mean to you
Just doing what I have to
To try and get over you

Blackberries
03:54
|
|||
It's a cold April night in Mississippi
They say the blackberries come to fruition
And I just want to see a band
With some of my friends
Inside
Where it's warm
But they say I'm not of age
And they know my identity's fake
So I'm left with no choice
Left with no choice
But to turn
And walk away
Well, I miss Elizabeth's hands
You don't, but I think she understands
Fingernails, like a well,
Trap the charcoal pastel
And I can't get them out of
My head
Yes, I smoke too many cigarettes
But what else can I do when upset?
Can't just sit at home
Call her up on the phone
Lay my head on the pillow
Just to chat
Because you see, she's overseas
I can't call her, but she can call me
And her days are so busy
She's living a dream
Yet she says she's still thinking
Of me
Can't believe she's still thinking of me

April Fools
03:01
|
|||
April's just a girl
Just like any other
But she's something special
Waiting to be discovered
April laughs
And April smiles
She'll give you that look
Then she'll bat her eyes
She's everything
Yeah, she'll act real cool
But be careful, boy
April fools
She'll tell you one thing
And then do the other
Try to comfort you with words like,
"I love you like a brother"
She'll fake a tear
You'll sympathize
She'll innocently
Plan your demise
Your friends try to help
But you'll refuse
Be careful, boy
April fools
So be careful, boy
Be careful, boy
Be careful, boy
April fools
Fool you once
That's just fine
Fool you twice
Something's not right
Fool you three times
They ought to teach it in schools
To be careful, boy
'Cause April fools
So be careful, boy
'Cause April fools
So be careful, boy
Be careful, boy
Be careful, boy
April fools

What Beauty Is
04:44
|
|||
Go on
Exploit our home
Brand it the land of
Sand and stone
Or just stone, like your heart
Your eyes see green
One goal in a mind
That's tarnished with greed
You're way ahead of us
On your next edifice
No time to stop and think
What you've done
You've corrupted Eden
If I had the power of the moon
I'd hurl the sea and see what that left you
If I could, I'd use fire to bring your empire down
I'd watch the Phoenix burn to the ground
You don't know what beauty is
You're way ahead of us
On your next edifice
No time to stop and think
What you've done
You've corrupted Eden

But Not Today
04:23
|
|||
I told you I'd take you out
But then you went far away
I'm still gonna take you out
But not today
You told me you loved me first
I didn't know what to say
I swear I'm gonna love you too
But not today
I'm sorry, I
Apologize
Wasn't right
To make you wait so many times
We talked about driving to California
What a fun trip we would take
And maybe one day we'll pack the car
But not today
I told you I'd stop thinking about her
That my feelings for her would fade
That you'll always be my only one
But not today
I'm sorry, I
Apologize
Wasn't right
To make you wait so many times
But not today
You told me that you still loved me
You told me you'd be ok
You told me you wanted to be together
But not today

I Can't Wait
06:23
|
|||
I'll wait in the dark
Perfectly still
I won't make a sound
Move in for the kill
I realize my pain
May have been hard to see
So I'll do to you
What you did to me
I've got a flawless plan
To show you I'm a man
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
To break your heart
I chose you over her
The biggest mistake
You chose him over me
Now you're gonna pay
I'll win your love
I'll make you wet
I'll melt your heart
Till there's nothing left
I've got a flawless plan
You're gonna know I'm a man
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
To break your heart
I can't wait
And I can't rest
Till I make you feel
Like you're second best
And I can't wait
And I can't sleep
Till I make you dream
Of being with me

Happy
05:13
|

She made it look
Like it hurt to smile
Must have been why
I didn't smile for a while
But now all that's changed, yeah
My girl, she make me happy
She make me laugh, and she make me feel
So god damn happy
She got a ring
And a baby on the way
Her mama couldn't be happier
But I wonder what she'd say
If I asked her, "Are you happy?
Are you really so god damn happy?
Does that hippie suffice? Do you still think I'm nice?
And does he make you so god damn happy?"
She made it look
Like it hurt to smile
Must have been why
I didn't smile for a while
But now all that's changed, yeah
My girl, she make me happy
She make me laugh, and she make me feel
So god damn happy

Off To War
07:18
|
|||
You were off to war a long time
I'm sorry I didn't write
But that don't mean that I ain't proud of you
I wouldn't have the courage to fight
I didn't keep in touch but
I think we should talk real soon
You can tell me what you're thinking
I can play you this new tune
We used to be good friends but
We went our separate ways
I'm sorry we don't talk much
But I still pray that you're ok
We can talk about old stories
From the marching band
You can tell me your sad stories
When your friends died in the sand
Sometimes I think about you
When I'm watching the news
I wonder how you're doing
And how your family's doing too
We used to be good friends but
We went our separate ways
I'm sorry we don't talk much
But I still pray, are you ok?
Times are hard, I know
Trapped inside a bad TV show
It'll all be over soon
When there's a new man in the oval room

Don't Answer
03:58
|
|||
Does he shake?
Does he shake, god damn it, does he shake?
Does he make
Does he make the little noises that I make?
Does he make you smile?
Don't answer that
Does he drive you wild?
Don't answer that
He's calling you on the phone right now
Don't answer that
Can I kiss you on the mouth?
Just answer that
Does he write you songs?
Does he make you feel like you belong
With him? Though he may
Continue pushing you away
He's calling you right now
Don't answer that
Can I kiss you on the mouth?
Just answer that
