You wanna travel the world
So many sights to see
Feel new land upon your feet babe
It all comes down to if you love yourself wholly
And it all comes down to whether you pack your things and leave
Feel the wind on your face
Forget all of the unimportant thing
Embrace the world around you
And enjoy all the culture it brings
Well it all comes down to if you love yourself wholly
And it all comes down to whether you pack your things and leave
So pack your things and leave for the winter and don't you come back Till the summer and I'll be waiting for your grace
It all comes down to if you love yourself wholly
And it all comes down to whether you pack your things and leave

The Fall

You've got your bleached blonde hair and your pretty blue eyes
Your looks could kill and that's no surprise
I'm gone.
Well I'm that fast talking kid and people call me obnoxious
I'm a fighter not a lover and I'm only sensitive to certain subjects
I'll probably tell you how it is
& We're falling
We're falling in love
I've my friends hanging on me to go approach you
I don't wanna look dumb so I slowly mosey on over
Your friends are saying "oh boy, look here he comes. He's looking Rough girl you better not fuck this up."
I slowly start to say
I said:
I'll probably have you home before ten.
She said:
My parents would probably hate you if you were any later than that.
I said:
You know you're something special, I hope you know that,
She looked at me and said:
I thought that romance was dead.
& We're falling
We're falling in love

Still

I wrap myself around the ideas of you like water surrounding a thrown stone as it dives into a lake. Captivated by the sight of you, I'm shown stifled in place. I've become the stone, cold, alone but have not grown old to the sides of you that you rarely show. I want to sink in to your head like the soft bed we used to lay in and feel comfortable along side the thoughts of you I've created.
I'd grasp the water and hold it still for as long as i can and watch as it seeps through my hands. The ripples from the drops of water hitting the bank resemble the sound waves of our conversations that would often instill laughter but after only moments without movement would disappear
forever.
Standing still I ask myself: "Is this loneliness being tempered?"

Nickel Blood

I feel the nickle in my blood love
It burns my bones to a cinder
I wonder days and days
In search for you babe
Now all that I can do Is watch the flames
As the nickel in my blood can not be tame
Now I've done all that I can do
I'm like an animal in search for food
I'm like a wolf, Alone howling at the moon
I bite my tongue but show my teeth
I've slowly succumb to the poison
I wonder days and days
In search for you babe
Now all that I can do Is watch the flames
As the nickel in my blood can not be tame
Now I've done all that I can do
I'm like an animal in search for food
I'm like a wolf, Alone howling at the moon
Now I'm done waiting, I'm less patient for you babe.

Sleep
02:40
|
|||
|
Wake up alone again
Feel the space between the edge of my bed
What is this feeling I compress
Is it loneliness
Remember the words you used to say
Now they're false and hold now weight
Like a dead man with no soul to pay
I can squeeze the debt with my bare hand
A sleepless man without a plan
What is the intention I intend to send
Is it hopelessness
So you can hold your horses high
And you can count your sheep to sleep at night
But know your words don't trouble me
I'm not losing sleep.
