Settle Down

It takes one phone call to mess me up for a week or two,
I wish that this was well, but I know you, and what you do.
I’ll play this little game, you say that little lie,
Drink up now honey, because where we’re going, you get yours, and I get mine.
Settle down, the time has come, where you face yours, and I face mine.
If all is good, as you say, if all is good, as you say...
Settle down, the time has come, where you face yours, and I face mine,
No better place than here, no better time than now.
All the things that I want to do, all the places, that you’ll go.
Hold you back if I hold you tight, but if I could I’d never hold again.
The little man on the moon was right, “You’re beautiful, but you’re empty. No one could die for you.” No one should die…
Settle down, the time has come, where you face yours, and I face mine.
If all is good, as you say, if all is good, as you say...
Settle down, the time has come, where you face yours, and I face mine,
No better place than here, no better time than now.

Don't you look back to me, now that you've thrown it all away
Handed out on silver, should've been here to stay
I hear you cry about your new life
This mistake was all too obvious
Oblivious to the fact you take everything for granted
Handed out on silver, should've been here to stay
I hear you cry about your new life
This mistake was all too obvious

For Better Or Worse

So I single out people, who crave your attention, who sink in their own vile soot,
Stare a distance, you’ll never find answers, I know that you’re under control.
You seek out humanity, what’s wrong with the day’s of old?
You’re reaching the masses, be told all for better or worse.
My father is waking up at dawn, the sun has no chance,
You reach out and forget what is taught, in every class, and every lecture hall,
I did, and look where it got me, I hardly see.
What’s obvious to everyone, yeah you’re under control.
You seek out humanity, what’s wrong with the day’s of old?
You’re reaching the masses, be told all for better or worse.
I haven’t told you, things that I heard, the TV is turning us into clones,
The waves are crashing, destroying your bones, I tried to tell you, but you said, they’re just words.
I tried to tell you, but you said, they’re just words.
Yea you’re under control,
You seek out humanity, what’s wrong with the day’s of old?
You’re reaching the masses, be told yea you’re under control,
You seek out humanity, what’s wrong with the day’s of old?
You’re reaching the masses, be told all for better or worse.

My Oh My

My oh my I think Iʼm getting old.
My hair is graying, my feet are often aching cold,
Itʼs friday night iʼm sitting on my couch again,
and I donʼt plan on getting up, so why should I even pretend?
I am still alright,
I guess that I am still liked,
My mind is still in tact,
and works beside the fact that I donʼt care, I donʼt care!
I don’t think that I belong here,
I’m sticking fast, my friends think I’m weird,
My idea, is my idea, is my idea,
I shake it loose, my friends abuse, and it’s fine, and it's fine.
I am still alright,
I guess that I am still liked,
My mind is still in tact,
and works besides the fact that I don’t care, I don’t care!
Why canʼt all the others kids just run around and let me have my fun?
Why canʼt all the other kids just let me have my day in the sun?
I am not immune, but I can try, and I guess thatʼs what Iʼll do.
Leave it here, or leave it there, it doesnʼt matter and I donʼt care, I donʼt care!
Why canʼt all the others kids just run around and let me have my fun?
Why canʼt all the other kids just let me have my day in the sun?
I am not immune, but I can try, and I guess thatʼs what Iʼll do.
Leave it here, or leave it there, it doesnʼt matter and I donʼt care, I donʼt care!
I want you deep within my heart, but I’ll never let you know it’s true,
I need more than I know I should, but I’ll never let you know it’s true.

Ash

I want to sleep in this bed forever,
I want to drink until my body’s numb again,
I want to find somebody like me,
I want feel the cool air on my skin.
I want the rain to wipe my slate clean,
I want this dust to clear away,
I want to go outside in the sunshine,
but sunshine’s gone away like everyone...
The ash outside is getting heavy,
My family is half a world away,
My friends are gone, but i’m still wandering,
This land is barren, nothing left to see.

My hands they shake tonight,
White sand sits on my brow,
as I look out across the sea.
Is that your face out there?
All blue it’s in the air,
Do you still often think of me?
What if I was wrong, about that night?
What if I was wrong, and you were right?
If I could change one thing, I think I’d change it all,
but i’d still have this alcohol.
I’ll take one last sip and i’ll go,
November sitting on this shore,
My mother’s probably worried sick.
Yet what am I supposed to do?
Forget it all this isn’t true?
I’m setting course, bon adieu.
What if I was wrong, about that night?
What if I was wrong, and you were right?
If I could change one thing, I think I’d change it all,
but i’d still have this alcohol.
The sky is clear, and black and blue,
If nothing else, I’ll get to you,
I’m holding tight, to myself.
My lips they quiver silently,
These fish, they swim so close me,
Goodbye, I’ve lost my strength, I’ve lost it all, I’ve lost the girl, I’ve lost it all...

When I’ve nothing left to say, I’ll be alone, I’ll be ok.
But who’s to say when that will come, I only ask, I’ve nothing left to tell.
Because I’m young, and usually wrong, about everything, and everyone.
So why can’t I see, what my mind still feels,
Theres nothing wrong here, it’s gone away, but not from me.
So why can’t I see, what my mind still feels,
Theres nothing wrong here, it’s gone away, but not from me.
My brother tells me things are fine, I trust him more after some wine,
So raise a glass, so let’s raise hell, this book is empty, just like this hotel.
Because I’m young, and usually wrong, about everything, and everyone.
So why can’t I see, what my mind still feels,
Theres nothing wrong here, it’s gone away, but not from me.
So why can’t I see, what my mind still feels,
Theres nothing wrong here, it’s gone away, but not from me.
Where did my mind go, where is my soul?
You bottled it long ago, now no one knows.
Why does this feel wrong? Well I want to know.
You’re covered in jealousy, or so I am told.
Where did my mind go, where is my soul?
You bottled it long ago, now no one knows.
