The Black
05:26
|

|
stack of books
next to the bed
disjunctive thought
still in your head
and in your lap
a clenching fist
how many years now
tryin' to resist
I saw an opening
I saw a crack
I saw an opening
I saw the black
invite us over
but don't put on airs
a tiny house
without any stairs
the stupid things
you said on tv
you should be more mindful
when you speak
or when you think
I saw the opening
I saw the crack
I saw the opening
I saw the black
the black
and never occurred
to you
that I might like it
down here
that's true
it's true
it's true
it's true
got my eyes on you
I got my eyes on you
I got my eyes on you

Do You

was I supposed to
was I supposed to
make it alright for you
for you
you don't know what you're doin'
do you
you don't know what you're doin'
do you
I don't know how many months
it seemed to happen all at once
and I've got to admit
I don't miss it
I don't miss it one bit
not one little bit
you don't know what you're doin'
do you
you don't know what you're doin'
do do you
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
we all make our mind up
sooner or later
end up gettin' eaten
by an alligator
I'm tired of steppin' out
into a world that's full of things
that can take you down
I always dreamed didn't I
I always dreamed didn't I
look into my eyes
I'm not dreamin' am I
I'm not dreamin' am I
am I
am I
am I
am I
am I
am I
am I
you don't know what you're doin' do you
you don't know what you're doin' do you
I guess I'm through

Can't It Be Both
06:17
|
|||
|
followin' the beat
feel like a freak
tired of waiting
all this time
losin' count
doesn't amount
to anything
in my mind
shufflin' my feet
never felt like
an elite
kind
so what do you do
it's right there in front of you
are you gonna strip
or are you gonna climb
can't it be both
I don't think so
can't it be both
another month
I had someone
but all I see now
are the ropes
hangin' overhead
they'll hang me when I'm dead
until then I just slide
down the slope
of total collapse
total collapse
you don't have to ask
I'm saving my money
you don't have to ask
I'm saving
here I am on the line
pretending to be one of the divine
but I know that's an illusion
will you fall for it
tell me you won't fall for it
cause it's a long long
and foolish foolish fall
into the hole of the world
the hole of some stupid
stupid stupid thought
that kept you awake
you can have it
but you'll have to make mistakes
is it for you
or for them
is it for you
or is it for them
can't it be both
I don't think so
can't it be both

Now's Good

I've been alone for so long
I'm starting to forget
your face your voice
I saw you in a dream
with dyed pink
hair
I believe all this
will work itself out
I believe all this
will work itself out
but I don't know when
I've been alive
for so long now
I can't even recall
who I am
but I believe
sure as the trees will grow new leaves
that I
I saw the truth
and it was shining
just like you
I believe this
will work itself out
I believe all this will
work itself out
but I don’t know when
what about right now?
ooh ooh
uh huh
ooh ooh
uh huh
ooh ooh
uh huh uh
ooh ooh ooh

A Ghost
06:21
|

|
a ghost
floating in
your head
again
a ghost
from the past
taking
away all you had
all you ever
ever had
a ghost
in your car
follows
wherever you are
a ghost
of your fears
and yah never know
when it will appear
or when it's gonna go
hard livin'
hard livin'
hard livin'
with a ghost
a ghost
of your self
appears and disappears
and it's affecting your health
a ghost
of your dreams
reminding you
they're never quite
what they seem
to be
nightmare
nightmare
nightmares
when you sleep
a ghost
of who you were
always there and it always
gets the last word
a ghost
of your dad
always gets
the last laugh
he's laughin' at you
as you try to improve
a ghost
a ghost
exorcised
takes somethin' with it
when it dies
a ghost
you start to miss
you wonder if there's any way
out of this shit
out of a hole
you feel the hole
hole
when you're livin' with
the soul
of a ghost

The Light
04:14

is that what you really think
or have you just had too many to drink
is that what you really want to say
or would you like to put it some other way
is it really the truth
or do you have something to prove
is that really how it is
or are you just trying to resist
awake at night
can't sleep
awake at night
can't see
the light
can't see
the light
can't see it
the things that she said
when you wished she was dead
they're comin' back
how you gonna react
miles and miles away
you still hear 'em til this day
and you you won't ever stop
until the shoe drops
can't sleep
can't sleep at night
can't sleep
can't sleep at night
can't see
the light
can't see
the light
you can't see it
can't see it
can't see it
can't see it
