i'm really gonna breathe more
with these filthy things i call lungs in my so called chest

Is Everything Alright?

i've been having thoughts
ever since that walk
you seemed so distraught
and clouded with those thoughts
and is there any point in really saying how you feel?
well i don't know
and is there any point in ever saying how you feel?
well i don't know
and should i
give my all or my nothing
into something or nothing
maybe god was wrong
placing me into these bones
i've been feeling so wrong
strange love played it's part
landing you into my arms
i've been feeling so far
and is there any point in freely praying to self heal?
well i don't know
and is there any point in freely praying to self heal?
well i don't know
and is there any point in singing words that don't feel real
well i don't know
and is there any point in singing words that don't feel real
well i don't know
and is there any man who truly stands for those he appeals?
well i don't know
and is there any man who truly stands for those he appeals?
well i don't know
and could i
give my all or my nothing
into something or nothing

i know, someday, somehow
i’m gonna find you
we could be two best friends in a picket fence
oh we could make amends
and god knows that i’m trying
and god knows that i’m lonely
it’s so hard being strong
when your love is gone
i hope someday, somehow, somewhere
this love will find you
we could be two dead ends in a loving sense
oh we could make amends
and god knows that i’m denying
and god knows you’re my only
it’s so hard not to sing along
to all your favorite songs
and i fall when you call
and you say you need space
well i’d love to play ball
but you know that i always hated this game
oh tell me how long
how long should i keep trying?
how long should i stay lonely?
it’s so hard being strong
when your love is gone

tell me tell me the story again
the one where you lost your sense
well i’ve been trying to comprehend ends
spell it spell it out for me
all of the things you see, every silly sunken dream
luna, soon enough you will see all of the victories
say you’ve seen it
oh say you’ve seen all of the great upcoming things
i’ve been, been in the dumps again
thinking of pain and death
nothing could really shake it away
i’ll tell you, tell you my stories when
you’re right here beside me and
everything in the world makes sense
luna, soon enough we will see all of the victories
i can see it, oh i can see all of the great upcoming things
luna you cant come soon enough
i’ve just been having it rough
there’s some things i just cant explain yet
luna the best years are yet to come
we’ll have some fun in the sun
and forget about all of our stings
luna, soon enough we will be, writing our history
i can see it, oh i can see all of the great upcoming things
i could see it, oh i can see all of the great upcoming things
but till then, i’ll just wait
oh till then, i’ll just wait
for my friend
for my friend

New Laughs New Jokes
04:09

rattled tales behind your neck
hard headed heads at social events
the good old vintage lovers and friends
i want new laughs and new jokes
but that night
oh how i wish that i could dance
i just don't have what they have
where there's a fault, there is a choice
oh how did we not know we had a voice
autumn came and so did your hand
impressions made onto your laugh
should the leaves fall,
i'd be so sad
i wan't nothing but just you
but my love
oh how i wish that i could dance
be everything you ever wanted to have
but i know,
that i won't,
no i won't
oh she's walking this way, who am i kidding
oh soft skin she's so pretty
i don't want to be like me
a head full of hate and anxiety
i want to be the best, i want to be the one
it's not selfish, it's just love
and these flat chested men who call me their friend
they don't know what it means to just maintain
and time is so tricky when it comes to a halt
everybody looks at you like it's your fault
oh how i wish that i could dance
be everything you ever wanted to have
but i know
that i won't
no i won't

Oldest Trick In The Book

|

well here we go again
losing my first friend
oh care to bother me? one more time?
and teach me again on
how to stand
on what to say
anywhere but here is where i want to be
you can take what you want
you can say what you want
you can hit if you'd like
you can sit if you'd like
anywhere but here is where i want to be
well what would i say?
when the opportunity rises again
to this middle aged man
who, likes to stay so
far away
when he's not so far away
anywhere but here is where he wants to be
you could take what you want
you could say what you want
you can hit if you'd like
you can sit if you'd like
anyone but me is who he wants to keep
time has taken it's toll
on the roads that we drove
and these roads know that
somewhere, somewhere you're still out there
and god knows
god knows that i still care

Losing Glow

strangers when they meet they shy away
but that wasn't the case
wasn't the case for you and me
for you and me
we would walk so close
so unusually close oh so comfortably close
we weren't walking we were falling
we were falling
but your eyes start to close
and your life lost its glow
and your touch starts to fade
when your love turns to hate
well these eighties, ladies, they keep bringing me down
with their heartache partaking into irrational thought
won't life please help me see
how much light there's left for me
well the word on the street, of the third time deceit, has been weighing me down
i can't tell you how it started
i can't tell you how it started
oh god can you make it stop? i've been suffering
with this personal dilemma of not being what i wanted to be
oh god can you make it stop? i've been suffering
with this personal dilemma of not being who i wanted to be
for the sun is shining down onto your skin
and i cant and i won't stop looking at you sleep
every bone in my body tells this is what i've been aiming for
for the sun is shining down onto your skin
and i cant and i won't stop looking at you sleep
every bone in my body tells this is what i've been aiming for

Flowers

now every single instance of love is really starting to freak me out
now walking into cafes with lovers so happy and lots of laughter
why send her flowers? when she’s never home
go to that other boy
now every street that i pass, has her feet printed smack dab onto concrete
now every compliment driven my way is something that i can’t easily take
why give her company? when she’s never alone
go to that other boy
now any small dispute puts her name onto priority lane of my brain
now any simple flinch brings me to not so fond memories of when she would sing
why bring you anywhere? when you, you never play nice
go to that other boy
how can any backhanded sentence mean anything much more to me
love whoever told me to be myself couldn’t have given me worse worse worse advice
why kiss you outside your house
when you’ve got another spot
go to your other place
please take me home
i still feel so alone baby
please take me home
i’ve never felt so alone darling

Lovers Lane

well you tugged on my sleeve
and said you were bored
well i don't appreciate
how much love you give away
and you don't trust the faith
on any given day
well i can't alleviate
how much pain you give and take
and i fall when you call
i'm inebriated
and i just don't understand
what it takes to be a man
and i'll crawl down your hall
i'm inebriated
and i just don't have a plan
within my emotional span
well you learned to achieve
on leaving me floored
how many times can we wipe the slate?
before our hearts reveal their grey
now you're down by the lake
down by lovers lane
and you came to seal our fate
right here on lovers lane
and i'll stall till i bawl
i'm inebriated
he's got charm and sleight of hand
and i heard he's from rio grande
and i'll stall till i bawl
i'm inebriated
he's got charm and sleight of hand
and i heard he's a better man
now my love is littered on lovers lane
out alone with whispers in my head
now my love is littered on lovers lane
and my face resembles one of a broken man
now my love is littered on lovers lane
and my face resembles one of a broken man
now my love is littered on lovers lane
and my face resembles one of a sinking man
and i'm sobering up, it's making sense
there's no point in playing along with rigged games
with my calloused hands, i understand
in tug of war they always end up in flames
and i'm sobering up, it's making sense
there's no point in playing along with rigged games
with my calloused hands, i understand
in tug of war they always end up in flames
so let's call it off

i’ve been waiting for your love
i’ve been waiting for your touch
see the moon and her friends pessimistically start to reflect on your face
see the clock shows it's love when it hides itself in time and in space
we’ve been waiting for our love
we’ve been waiting long enough
now i know
what it’s like to take a loving peck to the neck
now you know
what it’s like to live a life with a heart full of breath
well can you tell me?
what went wrong?
cause it hurts sometimes
you bet it does
i’ve been waiting for the day
for me to make up my own mistakes
see the moon and her friends pessimistically start to reflect on your face
see the clock shows it's love when it hides itself in time and in space
we’ve been waiting for the day
for us to make up our own mistakes
now i know
what it’s like to feel cornered and run out of space
now you know
what it’s like to live a life with much more embrace
well can you tell me?
what went wrong?
cause tori it hurts sometimes
you know it does
what went wrong?
cause tori it hurts sometimes
we know it does
