“And I’m not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
It’s not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is”

- Lua

"And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:46:24 -0400

“And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I’m not a gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won’t exist.”

- Lua

"Love’s an excuse to get hurt And to hurt"

“Love’s an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt”

- Lover I Don’t Have to Love

"I want a lover I don’t have to love I want a boy who’s so drunk he doesn’t..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:43:55 -0400

“I want a lover I don’t have to love
I want a boy who’s so drunk he doesn’t talk
Where’s the kid with the chemicals
I got a hunger and I can’t seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind”

- Lover I Don’t Have to Love

"I want a lover I don’t have to love I want a girl who’s too sad to give a..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:42:47 -0400

“I want a lover I don’t have to love
I want a girl who’s too sad to give a fuck
Where’s the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet him here but I’m not sure
I got the money if you got the time
He said it feels good, I said I’ll give it a try”

- Lover I Don’t Have to Love

"And so I’ve learned to retreat at the first sign of danger. I mean, why wait around, if..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:30:46 -0400

“And so I’ve learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
I mean, why wait around, if it’s just to surrender?
An ambition, I’ve found, can lead only to failure.”

- Lets Not Shit Ourselves (to love, and be loved)

"And the world’s got me dizzy again You think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin And..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:17:24 -0400

“And the world’s got me dizzy again
You think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking away”

- Landlocked Blues

"I thought about my true love, the one I really need With eyes that burn so bright, they make me..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:05:03 -0400

“I thought about my true love, the one I really need
With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
They make me pure
They make me pure
I long to be with you”

- June on the West Coast

"And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you I just assumed that you eventually..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:03:33 -0400

“And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you
I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn’t have to bring up my so badly broken heart
And all those months I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly, I guess it did it’s part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat”

- June on the West Coast

"And I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose But I know that that is impossible now And so I..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:59:34 -0400

“

And I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
But I know that that is impossible now
And so I drink to stay warm
And to kill selected memories
Because I just can’t think anymore about that or about her tonight

But I give myself three days to feel better
Or else I swear I’ll drive right off a fucking cliff
Because if I can’t learn to make myself feel better
Then how can I expect anyone else to give a shit?

And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow
Because I swear that I am dying, slowly, but it’s happening
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
Just take me there

- If Winter Ends

"I dreamed of a fever One that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart With heat to melt these..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:55:36 -0400

“I dreamed of a fever
One that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart
With heat to melt these frozen tears
And burned with reasons as to carry on
Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow
But I swear that I would follow anything
Just get me out of here”

- If Winter Ends

"And we’d get drunk and kiss Our bodies twist like shoelaces And we never came untied I guess..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:46:00 -0400

“And we’d get drunk and kiss
Our bodies twist like shoelaces
And we never came untied
I guess you were just my type
You know that summer never stopped
I still pretend I’m there”

- I Will Be Grateful For This Day

"I just got myself to blame Leave everything up to fate When there’s choices I can make When..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:37:47 -0400

“

I just got myself to blame
Leave everything up to fate
When there’s choices I can make
When there’s choices I can make

Now my heart needs a polygraph
Always so eager to pack my bags
When I really wanna stay

- I Believe in Symmetry

"And you think I’m an asshole now Well, you’re probably right But at least I’m not..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:35:34 -0400

“And you think I’m an asshole now
Well, you’re probably right
But at least I’m not blind to the facts
I’ve been wishing were all lies”

- I’ve Been Eating For You

"Sometimes I pray I don’t die I’m a goddamn hypocrite But then night rolls around and..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:29:34 -0400

“

Sometimes I pray I don’t die
I’m a goddamn hypocrite

But then night rolls around and it all starts making sense
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
And so I do what I do, and at least I exist
What could mean more than this?
What would mean more, mean more?

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:27:58 -0400

“cause there’s this switch that gets hit
and it all stops making sense
and in the middle of drinks
maybe the fifth or the sixth
I’m completely alone at a table of friends
I feel nothing for them
I feel nothing, nothing.”

- Hit the Switch

"I guess that it’s typical To cling to memories you’ll never get back again And to sort..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:26:00 -0400

“

I guess that it’s typical
To cling to memories you’ll never get back again
And to sort through old photographs
Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
And there below
His frozen face
You wrote the name and that ancient date, that ancient date
And you can’t believe that he’s really gone
When all that’s left is a fucking song and

I’m sorry about the phone call; and waking you.
I know that it is late,
But thank you for talking, because I needed to.
Some things just can’t wait.

- Happy Birthday to Me (Feb 15)

"All eyes on the calendar Another year I claim of total indifference To here, the days pile up With..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:24:00 -0400

“

All eyes on the calendar
Another year I claim of total indifference
To here, the days pile up
With decisions to be made, I’m sure all of them were wrong
Into this song I send myself
And with these drinks I plan to collapse
And forget this wasted year, these wasted years
Devoted friends, they disappear

And I’m sorry about the phone call and needing you
Some decisions you don’t make
I guess it’s just like breathing or not wanting to
There are some things you can’t fake

”

- Happy Birthday to Me (Feb 15)

"But I talk in the mirror To the stranger that appears Our conversations are circles Always one..."

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:22:10 -0400

“

But I talk in the mirror
To the stranger that appears
Our conversations are circles
Always one sided
Nothing is clear

Except we keep coming back
To this meaning that I lack
He says the choices were given
Now you must live them
Or just not live

But do you want that?

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:18:04 -0400

“You said you hate my suffering
And you understood
And you’d take care of me
You’d always be there
Well where are you now?”
