lover boy
- How was I supposed to know I'd feel it like that? / How was I supposed to know I'd need it so bad?
- And now I'm acting like a nice guy / Playing the fool, fool, fool / And now I'm acting like a nice guy / And now I'm missing you
- Here I stand / Whoa, whoa / More than a feeling / Take my hand / Whoa, whoa / I need something to believe in / Here I stand, alone / Take my hand to hold
voodoo magic
- Possible voodoo magic / Someone else controls my pain / Possible voodoo magic / No one else there is to blame / Guess it's possible and more likely / I'm just unlucky, but who's to say
- Embarrassed they found a knife / Went back and they found it twice / It's good to know we both get smart / You in your head, me in my heart
- Get a dance in the parking lot / Like we were waiting for a jump start / It's good to know it falls apart / You in your head, me in my heart
end of summer
- Crystal ball, crystal clear / I am far away from here / In my mind, a little nervous / Cause in a weird way, I deserve this / How was I supposed to know / When in my heart, and in my mind / Everything seems to remind / When in my heart, and in my head / I try so hard to forget
- I'm reminded / Of that summer / I'm reminded, of that summer, of that summer
- Now I know what I shoulda did / Gone all day to the beach with you / Next time I know what I'll do / I'm gonna go all day to the beach with you / Your long hair, I comb it with my fingers while we wait / I will love you, until my hair falls out or all turns gray / You sleep, I sleep, / Watch TV, like tea leaves / Play video games, it's all the same / Everything I do negatively affects my brain / But I deserve it, and you deserve it too
- Hindsight twenty twenty true / But at the time I didn't know what to do
outlook (reminds me of my papa)
- Young American mechanic / Turns his back on blood and spreads open his chest / There's no point in being high and mighty / Broken down on the side of the highway
- You followed your path and it led you here / Now you do your work in a neighbor's driveway / Pictures still hanging from a rearview mirror / Distracted by your past so far behind
- You've got the power / To drive around here / A hundred miles an hour / And I am not impressed / Any more / Or any less / And that feels good / Mark that down / That feels good right there like that / Let's mark that down
- It breaks me up thinking back to last Wednesday / It breaks me up thinking that's how it goes / Will this be the last time it happens / Close your eyes / No one knows / What a thing to happen on your birthday / Offering shelter from the attack / I believe once you go to the doctor's / There is no going back
- Same old story, so distracted / That I drove right past the exit / Circled back to learn a lesson / And I still got a couple questions / In my heart / There's a hole / And I fill it up with smoke / I got no control / Just get old / And I'll watch it take its toll
joanie (BANGER!!!!!!!!)
- Swallow it down or spit it out but either way lets move along / I'm radioactive I'm in pieces but I am still feeling strong enough / to walk away from all of this the car is crashed I just don't care / my followers abandoned me cause Poppa bear was unprepared
- If only you could hold me / my sweet sweet Joanie I know I'd be so brave right now
- Maybe I'll get back to you maybe I haven't learned a thing / Maybe it's the last time for you but it's not the last time for me / I love the things you have to pay for that knock you down and make you dizzy / I got distracted along the way shaking hands and looking busy
- Do you ever think maybe I could be one of those things / that you hate at first but eventually learn to love / and then trust and then touch and then cut yeah I bet you will / Yeah I bet you will
- I took a lot of day trips, trying to get away trips / sorry I have cold lips nothing left to say lips / I'm calling double or nothing on everything I have / I finally am what I am a fucking bag of bags.
tighten up
- So, please, allow me to shed some darkness / Step into a summer time zone, oh / I don't care if you people like me / It won't make a difference if you don't
- You wouldn't even recognize me no more, I've changed / I can roll a cigarette with my eyes closed, too hot to feel pain / You hurt me but it ain't all that bad
(those two are under the title 'needy when im needy' which i very much appreciate)
banger time!!
wolfman
- Deep and slow, but that's how it goes / If anyone asks, yeah I already know / Cause I got this pain in my chest / Every time I swim to consciousness / And I misspelled every word perfectly / Every mistake made was purposely / And my head is pounding to the beat of my heart
- You are a broken heart tattoo / I'll have forever on my chest / For a love that I have lost / But never could forget
- Say what you have to say / Try not to cry / This is just not what you wanted / At this point in your life / It's so hard to stay / When all you want to do is ride / I totally get you, I was a birdcage / And you were meant to fly
- I shook ‘til I came out of it / Let’s sit down, we’ll sit down proud
- Nothing matters, the importance of nothing / That's what you taught me / While I was barely listening
handcuffs (this is just the whole song cause its a narrative)
- See I was in handcuffs / No one stood by my side / No one to help me prove my charge was a lie / Well, some prosecutor screams "I'm a terrible guy" / That I am guilty and I deserve twenty-five to life
- See I lost my temper / And the cop lost his cool / A whole can of pepper spray / Man, makin' me look like a fool
- And he started stompin' / As I was gasping for air / Already on the ground / Man, I don't know / That fight don't seem fair
- But with my pain came rage / A light so bright I feel blind / So I reach with my hands / And a rock is what I do find
- He stops for a moment / I gather my strength / Just enough to swing quickly and put the rock right through his face
- And that's how it happened / How he met his fate / And how my left eye got burned out by the pepper spray / Some called me a monster / Things got super intense / But I don't think I did nothin' wrong, / Your honor I claim self-defense
- First they talk to his cop friends / And then they talk to his wife
They all said the same thing / He never hurt nothin' or no one in his whole life / They made it seem pretty obvious / That I was the one to blame / Even my public defender / Didn't have all that much to say
- The jury comes back in / I try to look em' all in the eyes / Try to make em' feel like takin' / Another life that don't make takin' / The first one right and I hope that they realize / I hope they truly understand / Just how sorry I am, things got so outta' hand
just stay (written by kevin divine not tfb)
- I found my fickle friend / Out in the alley way / He said, "You don't look so good" / I said, "Hey doc, that's great" / You started practicing? / I never got the note / So let's shake and trade / And be on our way
- Under embarrassed light / I try to hide myself / I tuck myself away / And we both grab hold / Say, "No you don't"
- The morning's hot and harsh / My notebook fills itself / The words come thick with sweat / But it feels like someone else / Is writing all of this / Someone I just can't believe / So I mop my brow / Set my pen back down / It's still me, still me
- I'm grabbing at a feeling now / That I could never name / Some signpost to remind me / How I wanted things this way
- She says you're pretty / But you hate yourself / I could hear it clear as day
