My lover’s like a young antique
A jukebox heart and a face like a dream
But Annabelle’s got a little thing
For her buddy, Buddy and the way he can sing
She needs a love that I don’t understand
He’s got big thick glasses and he plays in a band
She’s holdin’ out for a superstar
So I’ll shave my face and I’ll paint my guitar
But Buddy, Buddy, he took my love
Cause he’s the one she’s been dreaming of
And oh my Annie, she’s gonna regret
She wants a love that she’ll never get
Days gone past
You wanted happiness that couldn’t last
I hate to say it, but Buddy couldn't love you
Last night I passed out in my chair,
I opened my eyes but Annie wasn’t there
She packed her things and she got on a plane
Like Buddy Holly, now she’s flying away
She’s taking off with the heart from my chest
My love is gone but I wish her the best
Cause Buddy’s only gonna give her tears
When she sees he’s been gone almost sixty years
But Buddy, Buddy, he took my love
Cause he’s the one she’s been dreaming of
And oh my Annie, she’s gonna regret
She wants a love that she’ll never get
Days gone past
You wanted happiness that couldn’t last
I hate to say it, but Buddy couldn't love you

The Lizard King

I draw the curtain
She's fighting polite but looks uncertain
I wasn't what she was expecting
Five hours ago she was open for business, her eyes full of bliss but now rejecting
She's all done being Cinderella
I'm finished being the fella
To put down his jacket for you
Ten hours ago she was searching the room
And she came over looking for her third strike
“This wallflower's clever but he just might be
Dumb enough to give me a try”
And nine drinks later she turned out to be right
But I'm not the Lizard King, I can't do everything
Am I irrelevant or am I just dying?
You gotta let me know, hey man it's time to go
I'll see you later or whatever I don't know
Exasperated
This part must’ve been anticipated
I can’t shake the grease but it’s been slated
Your eyes, they were lakes now they’re buckets of crusty cake mix
Spilling in my kitchen
Your jeans were cuffed but I won’t listen
To your heartbreak music now I’m wishing
You never played the Smiths while
You laced your old Chuck Taylors and ditched
Cause I can’t shake the feeling I’ve never felt
My wallflower withered and died when I knelt
Down at the foot of your bed
Your heart was open so I gave you the world
But I'm not the Lizard King, I can't do everything
Am I irrelevant or am I just dying?
You gotta let me know, hey man it's time to go
I'll see you later or whatever I don't know
Disappointment has got a name
And it’s expectation
I can’t be your king
When you’re telling the prince to get out
I draw the curtain
I’m all on my own but I’m not hurtin’
For some reason I feel I deserve it
Maybe not this time…
But I'm not the Lizard King, I can't do everything
Am I irrelevant or am I just dying?
You gotta let me know, hey man it's time to go
I'll see you later or whatever, so what
I'm not the Lizard King, I can't do everything
Are you pissed off or is that just ‘your thing’?
You gotta let me know, hey man it's time to go
I'll see you later or whatever I don't know
She’s so cool
But she’s so mean
She’s my Lizard Queen

Superego
04:13
|

|
Heart streaming, mind screaming
Kissing face, but you're just off center
Back seat and, windows steaming
You wait it out, till the bass kicks in but you
Don't, see that it's just you want
A midnight blue eyed confidant
That's fine, you'll get the next one
Mind reading, reason fleeting
Big mistakes
Cause you thought you knew better
Let me go, Superego
I can't steer, when you're grabbing the wheel
Cause I tried to make myself love you
But I, just think you're too nice
So I tried, to make you be meaner
Keep dreaming away, Superego
One day you'll wake to find the one
Come another day, Superego
Your timing's never right and when you're done
You're by my side but I'm on my own
You make me feel alive so
Superego, shut up and take me home
Cuffing season, bye to reason
You want him now, the instant satisfaction
Time borrowed, there's no tomorrow
For you, but he's planning your lives
So why, do the stars come out
When you cry
They're shining for another
Heat seeking, secret keeping
Domino, you're the next to fall over
Let me go, Superego
You might be the one, but you're stuck in my head
Cause I tried to make myself love you
But I, just think you're too nice
So I tried, to taste a little sweeter
Keep dreaming away, Superego
One day you'll wake to find the one
Come another day, Superego
Your timing's never right and when you're done
You're by my side but I'm on my own
You make me feel alive so
Superego, shut up and take me home
Shut up and take me home

Highlight Reel
04:18
|
|||
|
My bed feels empty.
That's fine it's only big enough for one
But barely
My feet hang off the end, it's fine with me
I wake up
I can't believe that you were just right here
I sleep in
Trying to forget it's afternoon
Why am I tired
I just slept the whole night through for eight-
Teen hours thinking
Maybe you'll come back
But either way
You wouldn't fit
I barely do
You walked away
And I should too
But what else can I do but overthink
I'll close my eyes and watch the highlight reel again
(I'll close the door)
It looks much better on replay
(Why did I have to ask for more)
I can't stop thinking about what she's doing now
(Probably not this)
Maybe it's time to turn the lights on in
My private abyss
My heart's debating
We went down to the park but all the bums
Were mating
Underneath the swings
I wish that we
Were sober
The bottle flowing down always but now
It's over
Reality bites but I guess that you
Do harder
Drawing blood was never much my thing
For starters
Maybe I should eat something
But I
Can't bring myself
To go down the stairs
Because the kitchen
Still feels like you
So what else can I do, Ill overthink
I'll close my eyes and watch the highlight reel again
(I'll close the door)
It looks much better on replay
(Why did I have to ask for more)
I can't stop thinking about what she's doing now
(Probably not this)
Maybe it's time to turn the lights on in
My private abyss
I'll close my eyes and watch the highlight reel again
(I'll close the door)
It looks much better on replay
(Why did I have to ask for more)
I can't stop thinking about what she's doing now
(Probably not this)
Maybe it's time to turn the lights on in
My private abyss

It’s not over now
It’s better than nothing
Why’d you stay the night
We coulda been something
I’d buy the time
And save it up, useless
Thought I’d change your mind
With naive excuses
But that’s not what we do
I can’t shake the roots
Why’d you stay the night

The Jungle
04:31
|

|
Don’t be alarmed this is the best it will get
You’re in the Jungle, please don’t mind the mess
You wanna get out? But you were always free
Self deprecation floating down the halls
Look out the window, an army of brick walls
You wanna get out, but you were always free
Let me out I’ll run with you
Two years of Escape the Room but
There’s no panic button, there’s only solitude
Let me out, please set me free
I wanna be with the hills and trees cause
There’s no sign of life, there’s only birds and bees
Nobody’s comin for me (please let me out)
Oh won’t you run with me (please let me out)
Life’s a struggle, in the Jungle
We’re all just makin’ believe, oh won’t you run with me?
Creatures roam in, they think it looks like fun
They bring their mates but somehow they never come
They wanna get out, but they were always free
You wake up early to the smell of cigarettes
Conspiracy theories to a dangerous extent
You wanna get out, but you were always free
Let me out I’ll run with you
Two years of Escape the Room but
There’s no panic button, there’s only solitude
Let me out, please set me free
I wanna be with the hills and trees cause
There’s no sign of life, there’s only birds and bees
Nobody’s comin for me (please let me out)
Oh won’t you run with me (please let me out)
Life’s a struggle, in the Jungle
We’re all just makin’ believe, oh won’t you run with me?
You learn to live with the monsters in the drain
You can’t say goodnight when there’s no sense of day
Try not to freak out cause someone’s at the door
We wanted you but you’re not welcome anymore
Down in the Jungle, you live with company
We wanna get out, but we were never free
Nobody’s comin for me (please let me out)
Oh won’t you run with me (please let me out)
Life’s a struggle, in the Jungle
We’re all just makin’ believe, oh won’t you run with me?

Love
Look what they're saying about you
That you found someone new
But I know that couldn't be
Love
Where do you go to late at night
Feels like something isn’t right
But that's me
Love
I can’t stand what they’ve done to you
I know there’s no way that it’s true
God knows I've been wrong before
Love
I see the way they look at me
Like they know that you don't need
Me anymore
Ohhhh
Nothing’s ever enough
Cause when God made you
The angels took the day off
Ohhhh
Your ego’s starting to show
To die by your side
Would be a shit way to go
I’ve got this feeling
You don’t believe in
We won’t ever beat it and
I know you don’t need it
Now uh
Where’s your confession
You keep me guessing
You got two right hooks
Now which one is for me?
Love
This ember’s running out of life
Probably for the seventh time
Am I being mislead?
All these voices in my head
Talk it up till I see red
I'm sorry but I'm busy
I'll just call back when I'm dead
Ohhhh
Nothing’s ever enough
Cause when God made you
The angels took the day off
Ohhhh
Your ego’s starting to show
To die by your side
Would be a shit way to go
I’ve got this feeling
You don’t believe in
We won’t ever beat it and
I know you don’t need it
Now uh
Where’s your confession
You keep me guessing
You got two right hooks
Now which one is for me?
I’ve got this feeling
You don’t believe in
We won’t ever beat it and
I know you don’t need it
Now uh

You got two right hooks

Sleeping Giant
04:03
|

We were young
Our bodies could take the blows
Time wasn’t of the essence now it’s ugly face still shows
We wanted everything
And we got it
Now where do we go
We said we would
But never dared
We’ll climb up Sleeping Giant
Maybe something’s waiting there
It’s steeper than we’re used to
And my knees are weak
But I don’t care
We’ve got forever
So no time to talk
How will we fly away
When we can’t walk
This Giant’s getting bigger
By the day
And it won’t stop
The echoes
Of songs unsung
I wish that I could still love
Like when I was young
Our boots laced up
Tight and ready
But now they’ve come undone
But we’ve got forever
So no time to talk
How will we fly away
When we can’t walk
This Giant’s getting bigger
By the day
And it won’t stop
Now we’re still young
I’m solid where I stand
We’ll climb up Sleeping Giant
If you really think we can
We were too messed up to do it
Before now
We’re where we began
We’ve got forever
So no time to talk
How will we fly away
When we can’t walk
This Giant’s getting bigger
By the day
And it won’t stop

Caroline (Amazon)
05:03

She sees the light far through the trees
But sunshine’s muffled by falling leaves
She needs paradise but it’s not that much
So she picks up her ax and cuts through the brush
An Amazon hero, she’s ten feet tall
A heart measured only by the way she falls
And climbs back up, time and again
She knows she’ll make it out in the end
If tomorrow takes forever we’ll just
Have to wait
I know we’re fighting our own battles but we
Don’t mind changing fate
If forever takes a day
It shouldn’t be worth a life
If the world has got a plan for you
That doesn’t mean it’s right
Since she’s been gone, the world’s been colder
A world now quiet that painfully sold her
The idea that she had to be best
So it gave her a bottle and started to test
Just how well she could carry herself
And left her alone with nobody else
To fight under a sun that’s blinding
She forgave the world, now she’s the one shining
If tomorrow takes forever we’ll just
Have to wait
I know we’re fighting our own battles but we
Don’t mind changing fate
If forever takes a day
It shouldn’t be worth a life
If the world has got a plan for you
That doesn’t mean it’s right
You carry on greeted by worried smiles
But twelve steps for you is a thousand miles
For anyone who could stand in your shoes
When there’s so much to gain, and nothing to lose
The world that dragged you down in to hell
Kept spinning so you changed it yourself
You slashed down anything stood in your way
The Amazon will fight another day
If tomorrow takes forever we’ll just
Have to wait
I know we’re fighting our own battles but we
Don’t mind changing fate
If forever takes a day
It shouldn’t be worth a life
If the world says it has you figured out
That doesn’t mean it’s right
If tomorrow takes forever we’ll just
Have to wait
I know we’re fighting our own battles but we
Don’t mind changing fate
Whatever comes your way
We'll be prepared to fight
I'll be right there beside you
Knowing it's gonna be alright

High in the Water
03:24
|
|||
|
Back up to the late nights
Call me by your name then let me go
When my only worry
Was finding out how am I getting home
But then we had to find out
All our waves and shooting stars
Weren’t all we expected
They were planes and passing cars
What I would give to float away
Wish I was high in the water
Sucked into a riptide
Waving to my love
Standing on the shore line but there’s
No one else around us
Just anemones
If I start drifting outward
My love
Don’t rescue me
Sometimes I’m guided by the weather
The sun tells me to love and where and when
If I start to treat you better
Maybe we’ll be better in the end
But then we had to find out
All our stars up in the sky
Weren’t all we expected
It was Fenway the whole time
What I would give to float away
Wish I was high in the water
Sucked into a riptide
Waving to my love
Standing on the shore line but there’s
No one else around us
Just anemones
When I start drifting outward
My love
Don’t rescue me
If I start drifting outward
My love
Please follow me
Mahalo
Aloha baby
Wish you were here
