Don't You Think

Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course
Dad don't you see that you're nothing like me
I don't give up easily
I put my heart and my soul into everything
I got my sights set on the dream
This mid-life crisis is your whole life
It's got nothin' to do with me
So don't expect a call or a post-it on the wall
You get this fuckin' song for free
He said
Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course
Your mom is pretty average but that's what I get
Well, Dad I think you're full of shit
My mama she's an angel she's there 'til the end
She won't leave us for dead
Mr. Money, Mr. Money what do ya' know?
You got a hundred thousand dollars for your cash flow
But not a penny is spent on the ones that you left
You fucked us over so you could go
He said
Son don't you think you'll find a date in Utah
The good girls are perfect but the bad ones are worse
Son don't you think that you should move to Portland?
Where the bad girls are better of course
Dad don't you know that she don't get much sleep?
The nightmares of you make her weak
Therapy does nothing when your soul is gone
And the ones that you loved made you weep
Go back to your parents who taught you to live
With a convincing voice but a lie as a shiv
Dad don't you see you're fuckin' nothin' like me
Now in my mind you are dead

Sleep Well, Annabelle
05:56
|

|
The wind blows through the crack in the window
As I think of her and watch the time just flow
I could lie right here and talk to you for hours
With eyes ablaze from being scared to go
You are my angel in the night rocking me to sleep
All my heart forever yours to keep
A rustle from the trees, a whisper in the breeze
I wish you were here with me
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the sun is shining bright
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the world is full of light
You grab my hand and tell me not to leave you
My heart is ripped to pieces from the strain
I can feel the end near approaching
Tell me what you have to gain
The memories rush in like chalk on sidewalk
Slipping to the gutter from the rain
I can't stay right here with you forever
For now goodbye's the only way
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the sun is shining bright
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the world is full of light
I don't know what I will do without you
The colours of the Earth all fade to gray
I know I am blind to beauty
All I've ever known is pain
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the sun is shining bright
Sleep well Annabelle
Goodnight, sleep tight
I'll see you when the world is full of light

The Point

What's the point of trying
If you know it won't last?
What's the point of living
In the past?
All my bones are shaking
I stare into the glass
My eyes start bleeding
And my voice turns to ash
And I am stuck here waiting
All my water is gone
My food is waning
Resourcefulness won't last long
What is it I'm chasing?
I just want a piece of you
I bet your memory's fading
Of the words that I thought were true
I can't be your everything
Can't lead you to your eternity
I can be your William Marshall
But my soul will be cast to the sea
I will tell you I love you
But it's not enough for you to breathe
You turned away and said "fuck you harder
Than you'll ever fuck me"
(You turned away and said fuck you harder)
Than you'll ever fuck me
What's the point of trying
If it don't mean a thing?
What's the point of lying to God
So the mortal can sing?
I will tell you I love you!
Oh the smile it'll bring
But you left for a little while
And I can no longer sing
My hopes of hearing you
Whispering my name
Are gone forever now
And God has fucked me
God
God has fucked me

A Grave Situation
03:55
|
|||
|
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
With every boy that she'd ever meet
They'd have her taken off her clothes and gettin' under the sheets
They'd be crawlin' up beside her as they said farewell
"Baby you won't live to see another day if you tell"
So she'd walk back home, cry her makeup off
Call me up and say "it happened again, speak soft"
Baby, you ain't got a clue what I told you to do
So many times before
And now you're sleeping on the floor
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
With every song that she'd ever sing
I heard her beautiful voice and the ukulele's twang
I watched her change from an angel to a devil
Everybody's got their problems
Everybody's on their level
I don't know where to go from here
So I'll kick it on my couch and forget about her
She'll be doing her drugs and gettin' fucked up
But I don't care
No, I don't care
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway
She was a good girl
Never got herself into trouble
But the way she's living has me working on the double
I don't know what I'm meant to say
But I'll tell her that I love and she's great anyway

The New Me
04:24
|
|||
|
I can't stay holy anymore
The new me is starting to come forth
Your sick philosophy broke up my family
This place is rotten to the core
Give up your gold to all the poor
Those fancy buildings they can't afford
I had to get inside, my ghost tried suicide
Why is salvation such a chore?
Whooooa
Whooooa
Who cares what race or sex you are?
God never changes but your church has changed by far
If there's a hell well then I will go there when I die
Lucifer is better than your Lord
Dancing with scholars of the world
They brought me in and now my soul's unfurled
So you can't fuckin' tell me what is expected of me
My power's stronger than those words
The new me is starting to come forth
I had a calling but is that all I'm worth?
Another fuckin' robot to obey all of your called shots
I don't feel human anymore
I can't be sorry anymore
Long gone are days where I was so secure
I'm guilty of it all, the great will surely fall
I don't feel sorry anymore
I don't feel sorry anymore
