Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find

It's been a few years now
And you're still on my mind
Now I'm stumbling around
Just a trying to find
A different kind of woman
To make my dreams come true
So I'm done thinking about you
We sure had a good run
That much I will say
Making love in the nighttime
Having fun in the day
But something about my loving
Wasn't quite working for you
So now our days are through
I heard it's better to be broken
Than just a little bent
With a clever use of superglue
Things will look good in the end
You threw me out on my feet
But I'm still good to some
And we keep having our fun
Well I had a broken heart
In this chest of mine
Couldn't believe me when I said
I was doing fine
Cuz when you wish upon a start
Only to find a sattalite
You cry all through the night
Sat down for a while
Tried to close my eyes
Make a space where I could work
Out my little lies
But what came up so often was
The face of one I once knew
Glad I'm done thinking about you
Oh no done thinking about you
When you walked out the door
You threw my heart onto the floor
I never hurt like this before
And that's why I dont think about you no more
No more

Swim Away
05:58
|
|||
|
Mind expanded
Reckless abandoned
Running through fields
Trying to work out how this feels
Voices tell me not to stay
Always try to swim away
Hooks and reels
Worst it conceals
Generated energy
Nothing left to set me free
Voices tell me not to stay
Always try to swim away
Chalkboard halls
Plastic malls
Level the plane
Start a new game
Voices tell me not to stay
Always try to swim away
Wandered out into the ocean
Water rose above my ears
This is where I find devotion
Down in the depths of all my fears
Waves took me up and down
Shoreline looked so far away
Then a smile breaks through my frown
I surf it back, the only way
The only way
Seeking love
From above
From below
I'll always know
Voices tell me not to stay
Always try to swim away
Always try to swim away
Always try to swim away

In The Pines

My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Beautiful Girl

Beautiful girl
There is no other one like you
Beautiful girl
Will you please make my dreams come true
Your smile brightens up the skies
If you frown a new desert dries
As the morning sun greets my eyes
Will you be my surprise
Beautiful girl
Will you give your love to me today
Beautiful girl
I'll die if you choose not to stay
You're the sweetest thing that I've ever known
When you're gone I shiver to the bone
After miles of walking all alone
Will you take me home
Every year is getting shorter
But somehow we will find the time
No matter what they try to tell us
We know our love is not a crime
Choosing quite desperation
Will leave you without a word to say
Let it go, move along
Got to find a better way
Beautiful girl
Life may kick you when you're down
And when it does
I'll come to your part of town
Please give me all your love
Seems to me you came from above
I fly you this song on wings of a dove
You're all the things I'm dreaming of

Out of Order
06:25
|

Did anything change over this course of time
Did I really grow if now I toe a different line
Thoughts still go running all across my mind
Got to keep on moving there's another place to find
The morning sun keeps rising day by day
Reminds me that there's plenty left for me to say
A chilly breeze takes me back to the lofty trees
That momentum keeps me sailing through the stormy seas
They say the time grows shorter
They say the winter gets colder
But I keep my feet walking in a swift one two
There's plenty of better things left for us to do
One of these days we will make it through
But we're living out of order
The golden dust of the evening sun falls between the trees
The mossy ground illuminated wanders with ease
Wooden bridges crossing the streams that clean our dirty feet
A place for those with rambling souls to find a bite to eat
I don't know if you've been told the best things in life ain't bought or sold
Although there are those who've said that it's better to be sleeping in a comfy bed
But we shared our stories and reveled in the glories of our broken dreams
Reminding each other the world is sweeter than it seems
They say the time grows shorter
They say the winter gets colder
But I keep my feet walking in a swift one two
There's plenty of better things left for us to do
One of these days we will make it through
But we're living out of order
They say the time grows shorter
They say the winter gets colder
But I keep my feet walking in a swift one two
There's plenty of better things left for us to do
One of these days we will make it through
But we're living out of order
