I’ve got one less regret
Tonight I pay my debts
Whatever it takes to survive
So what kind of trouble you in?
Is it clover or crimson?
You keep the truth at arm’s length
Or right by your side?
I’ll meet em out in the cold and dirt
Tonight I’ll prove my worth
We’ll find our own kind of freedom
Where the grass grows through the sidewalk crack
We might leave but we’ll be back
We don’t gotta hide
We don’t gotta run
From the subway to the bus
It’s just the two of us
Nowhere fast
Or someplace slow
I still believe in a neighborhood
I still believe in you my love
And that most things
I’ll never know
I’ll meet em out in the cold and dirt
Tonight I’ll prove my worth
We’ll find our own kind of freedom
Where the grass grows through the sidewalk crack
We might leave but we’ll be back
We don’t gotta hide
We don’t gotta run

Bad Luck

Security makes you feel calm
You’ve got a roof and lover on your side
Along for the ride
But nothing gold can stay
You place your bet and you feel so safe
The rain held out another day
Statistics will help you sleep
Oh, numbers for the keep
But I’ll still lie awake
I still lie awake
So I’m leaving, I’m leaving
A loss of sense and a lack of believing
Defeated, defeated
I place all my chips and now I’ve got nothing
I’ve got nothing
And you can blame the stars
Shake your fists and curse at the cards before you
Or take some time to realign
Feel the calm in the air and feel your lungs,
your lungs
I’ll come back around
Oh I’ll find a better sound
Oh, I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
So I’m leaving, I’m leaving
A loss of sense and a lack of believing
Defeated, defeated
I place all my chips and now I’ve got nothing
I’ve got nothing
So I’m leaving, I’m leaving
A loss of sense and a lack of believing
Defeated, defeated
I place all my chips and now I’ve got nothing
I’ve got nothing

Gimme gimme gimme
Gimme bubblegum
Gimme gimme gimme
Gimme bubblegum
Cause I got that Elvis syndrome
And this ain’t enough
Gimme gimme gimme
Gimme bubblegum
Gimme gimme gimme
Gimme bubblegum
Cause you all talk so loud
But ya don’t say much
You don’t know
What’s in my soul
No you don’t know
What’s in my soul
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what I need
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what I need
If not for happiness
Than for some relief
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what I need
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what I need
I’m chasing something simple
Or it’s chasing me
You don’t know
What’s in my soul
No you don’t know
What’s in my soul
I think she knows
What’s in my soul
Yeah she knows...

Hollywood Smog
02:25

Apologies are turning stale
As I watch you run out of tales
I’ll believe anything you say
With a smile plastered across my face
Making plans to skip town again
Sleepless for hours looking for
someone else to blame
I bet it’s hard to complain in LA
where they never see rain
Our shoulders were singed by the sun
As we watched all the we had come undone
You are too tired to talk
And my head is filled up
Filled up with Hollywood smog
I knew it had gone too far
When I squashed your tired heart
Couldn’t get a hold of it
Honesty couldn’t pull me out of this tar pit
Our shoulders were singed by the sun
As we watched all the we had come undone
You are too tired to talk
And my head is filled up
Filled up with Hollywood smog

This Year
01:50
|

Spent the first day of this year
Shivering on my bathroom floor
I don’t want to do this anymore
Spent the last day of this year
Doing shots of whiskey with my friends
I’m not good at learning
I don’t want to wake up early tomorrow
I don’t want to go to the hospital again
Hallways filled with beds
Everybody’s kids
Visiting out of love or guilt
I’m tired of errands and chores
I did when I was young
And I’m tired of traveling
To finish what you’ve left undone
To finish what you’ve left undone
To finish what you’ve left undone
To finish what you’ve left undone, undone
Spent the first day of this year
Shivering on my bathroom floor
I don’t want to do this anymore
Spent the last day of this year
Doing shots of whiskey with my friends
I’m not good at learning

Candy Canes and Cherry Coke
Looking through mirrors and smoke
To try and find someplace
To settle down
Oh please try to make me dumb
Keep me right under your thumb
Some place that’s never
Safe and sound
Baby needs a brand new parasite
Someone to keep me nervous
Through the night
Cause yesterday’s another day
So we can sort it out
And every word you spoke
Candy Canes and Cherry Coke
Sleeping off a bloody nose
Subway train, rose colored clothes
You know you feel
So close to home
A TV fever dream
Some psychotic fantasy
Left hanging on
The telephone
Baby needs a brand new parasite
Someone to keep me nervous
Through the night
Cause yesterday’s another day
So we can sort it out
And every word you spoke
Candy Canes and Cherry Coke
We’ve got time
Cause yesterday’s another day
So we can sort it out
And every word you spoke
Candy Canes and Cherry Coke

Marie

You fell in love when you were young
Cigarettes and Pom-ade
Daughter collecting recipe cards
And the polaroids that you would take
You never lied, you told it straight
Leaving notes in the linen closet
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
At first light, you took a breath
Slipped away in the morning
Broken voice, son in law
On the other end of telephone
You never lied, you told it straight
Spools of thread, color coded
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own

Wet Blanket
02:20

She don’t know where to start
Or what to do with her exploding heart
A dying wish in a living hell
Not unsatisfied
Something I can’t define
Ain’t bored or lonely as far as I can tell
The air was dry
And it got caught in my throat
But I’m a wet blanket
And I’m ringing out over your clothes
I’ve got these violent fantasies
Sometimes they get a hold of me
There’s something down there
Trying to get free
Fear comes out in funny ways
Is this normal?
Is this strange?
I’d like the truth but I’d settle for some sleep
The air was dry
And it got caught in my throat
But I’m a wet blanket
And I’m ringing out over your clothes

Water Signs
02:42
|

Face your problems
they’re going nowhere
Or leave them at the door
before you enter
Face of regret
painted as a smile
You want to be anywhere else
but I know you’ll stay a while
Crocodile tears in your eyes
Too sorry for yourself to realize
There’s a body of water
Pulling you further from land
But if you swim long enough
It’ll swallow up your arrogance
High ceilings
Double flights of stairs
Hurt feelings
Overpriced taxi fares
A victim mentality
You took whatever they could lend
Just to mess it up again
Crocodile tears in your eyes
Too sorry for yourself to realize
There’s a body of water
Pulling you straight from hell
And if you swim long enough
You can handle the swell
I’m a body of water
Pulling you further from land
And if you swim long enough
It’ll swallow up your arrogance
Swallow up your arrogance
Swallow up your arrogance
And if you swim long enough
It’ll swallow up your arrogance
I’m a body of water
I’m a body of water
Pulling you further from land

These disgusting anthems
I’m sifting through
A savage detective
Looking for clues
I tell myself
that they got a choice
But these souls are missing
This voice white noise
Always looking for someplace
I wanna get out of my own head
For one night
One night on earth
Sleeping
In a cotton tomb
With all the lies
That were fed to you
Born on
The other side
Worn thin
But ready for a fight
Always looking for someplace
I wanna get out of my own head
For one night
One night on earth
She’s a Shangri-la
A New York Doll
And I’m there to catch you if you fall
But fear it crawls
Up your side
So stand down and wait for the light
I wanna get out of my own head
For one night
One night on earth
