Desperate

I don't care if it looks desperate
It's hard enough playing hard to get
Take what your given
I don't know the difference yet
Between you and me, there's no secrets
I don't know the words you don't wanna hear
But I talk louder when I know you are near
I can't fall in love, can't fall in love with you
Handful of shells, rolling cigs, running out
Glass half empty, pocket holes
I don't know, I don't know.

No Doubt

Last year you said to me,
Regarding us it'll never be.
I didn't meet your expectations,
So much I didn't see.
You got bored, I didn't bother to see,
How you bit your lip and always cheated on me.
You'd think I'd know, you'd think I'd have a clue.
But instead I lost you.
***And it goes on and on, the argument's the same.
If you ignore the problem, it'll never go away.
Let this be a lesson on to you,
When you lie and cheat, for me it will not do.
So you left and I moved on.
Stopped feeling sad and I wrote this song.
Met a girl, she made me feel safe...
and she loves to kiss my face.
She cares for my health and well being.
She holds my hand in a public scene.
Now I know, now I have a clue,
That I no longer need you.
***
Now I know I'm not alone. I have a partner and not a clone.
So in the end it all worked out. Today I have no doubts.

Hourglass

You say you need just a little bit
The hands of time got an ugly grip
Take a chance but you'll take a pass
Too much sand in your hourglass
It's ongoing: the stop and start of my heart
Once upon a time I was falling apart
And I'm keeping track with a list too long to read
Callouses and candlelight, I'm spilling ink
I'd describe the pages to you if there was sense to read
Thinking this is the end of it
The hands of time got an ugly
We're in deep and sinking fast
Too much sand in your hourglass

Silent You

Saying things are fine, saying these things happen all the time
Doesn't make it true, and now I gotta write to you:
Is it historical? Your argument's rhetorical
I recall the days when we had nothing to say
And the sun came up around us
Comfortable silence that put talk to shame
Never wanted to be someone you could blame
Saying things are good doesn't mean you should
Avert your gaze
I long for silent days
Never wanted to be blamed
Never wanted to be someone you could blame
I don't want it, silent you.

The Fool
01:02
|

|
First things first, a little piece of mind.
Work overtime.
Make the money, invest your riches then.
Ignore the poor.
***You walk like you are a big man,
But we all hate on you!
You talk like you have got a clue,
But we think you're a fool!
Lesson two, won't take much time.
You waste of space.
Make a noose and then wrap it around your neck
And hang yourself.
***
You are a fool

Angel in the Offo

Getting lost again in the suburbs it's really a drag
I heard they close at 10 and a hangover's all I had
And you're living at home it's getting so old
Pick me up at 9 get the car from your mom and dad
Angel in the Offo
What do you have to offer?
It could be less than awful
You're not my regular type of shopper
Getting high again in the city but it wasn't a plan
I know you're sitting at home, wishing you were my man
And you're studying hard to make it outta that cul-de-sac
Pick me up at 10 we'll drive around the block and back
