You Can't Help Your Habits
She calls out my name, and I just can't turn away
So I let her in, and she lets out the pain
People say that I'm crazy, she's stuck in my brain
But I can't let her go, it's so hard to explain
Feelin' insane, I look to my old girl Mary Jane
But it's useless, it just isn't the same
And some people claim it goes away with time
You'll be fine, it's in your mind
But deep inside I know that I need her
So I rip out my heart and throw on an old beater
Cover it up with a t-shirt, and pretend it's all good
But inside I feel like I'm lost in the woods
With no way to escape, but I would if I could
But I can't so I won't, and I'm losing my hope
That I'll ever be found, my walls crumble down
And my head just keeps spinning around and around
So I look to the sky and pray to get by
But I'm nothing without her, I hope I just die
So I panick and I call up my man
And he says I can see her for a small cash advance
Then I hop right to it, just like a rabbit
I'm hooked like a magnet, you can't help your habits...
Filthy Beauty
a timid disguise, that look in your eyes
a whole lot of what but not a single why
nobody cries, and nobody mourns the wicked
I think my head's twisted
I've been infected with a sickness
it eats at my brain with a quickless
and leaves my whole body listless
so I get up every morning against my better judgement
and I do something I thought I was above, yet
there's a filthy beauty in it
like watching the sun set from a bomber jet
and I don't know why I put up with all the hurt
but it feels like it's all I'll ever deserve
til they throw my body in a hearse
and bury me deep in this earth
so I sit and rehearse songs that'll never be heard
written for somebody that will never understand
who I am or how I feel, because for real
it was all part of the deal
so I try my best to conceal
everything, but it eats away at me
I can't have a day of peace
without a bag of weed
or a fifth, at least
to put my mind at ease
and try to find a piece of mind to speak
but I'm kinda weak
so I'll keep my mouth closed forever
until you find this letter
or I get fed up
and walk out the door to find something better.
The Moon & the Sea
The waves part beautifully as I sail along blissfully
Unaware that the moon looms so close to where I'm going
And with the sun in the sky, I felt like I was high
As I put my legs on the table and just enjoyed the ride
But then the sun started to sink, and the wind was blowing
So now all anybody will remember about me is a tragedy.
I feel my lungs collapse as the water seeps so fluently
Through my entire body, and I can feel my heartbeat slowing
I have to kick and I scream, beg and plead not to die
So I close my eyes and leave my body behind, the water still flowing
And as I feel myself slip away, my future is a mystery.
As I awake, all I can do is look to the sky ignorantly
And that's when I realize how bright the moon is glowing
It saved my life that night, but my suspician is growing
Because the more I think about it, I see it all differently.
The moon didn't save me, it demolished me viciously
And I just had to be content without knowing
What had really happened during that late-night symphony.
So as I look up at the moon, seeing its intent so visibly
I realize inside of me that the conclusion was forgoing.
So I walk calmly back to the sea and jump in... this time willfully.
Wishful Thinking
I long for your hands in mine, fingers intertwined
They say love is blind, but your beauty is divine
Hair long and radiant, and lips sweet as wine
Your face is adorned with azure pools, big enough to swim in
And you don't play me like a fool, unlike other women
But because of how we're livin, you've always felt forbidden
Like a King's crown, or the most delicious fruit on the vine
Your personality so rare, and your tastes so refined
You must have taken God a millenium to design
You could not say a word, and to me it would still make sense
I'd fall asleep every night, and awake to your presence
Then I'd see your perfect smile and my world could commence
I know you may not be ready, and to me that's fine
But on that one magical day, when the sun always shines
Maybe we could be together, and you could be my Mrs. Kline
The world is our oyster, don't be afraid to look
Just like you can't rob a bank if you're afraid to be a crook
You'll never know our story if you don't open the book.
Relieving Stress
a jigsaw puzzle, missing pieces and mixed up // use me up and drink me down like a big gulp
take what you want from me, drink from my cup // then turn around & potato me like i'm a big muff
but i don't give a potato , i keep strivin // and i stay in the deep end like i dived in
control my life like a movie, i'm a drive-in // and i crashed twice but i aint dyin
i refuse to quit, so potato what you heard // and i look forward to it, i miss bird
its been hard without you, there are no words // to describe how i felt when i saw that hearse
you can't imagine my pain or what i've been through // but at the end of the day i just miss you
but we'll be reunited, you know it's true // when i finally leave this earth to the big blue
and i feel like there's nothing left for me here // as i sit back, relax, and have a beer
people i thought were friends don't have ears // when times get tough and it breeds fears
and all this time, you know it's weird // i've cried so much that i'm out of tears
ultimately we choose our own fate // so in life you can blame yourself for your mental state
and as i sit alone, i can only contemplate // why my goals in life just can not wait
immediate satisfaction i know will never come true // even when i lay it all out for you
and its sad but you really don't have a clue // but its better that way... i want you to be happy too
For You
it's absurd how anyone could be made so perfectly
more beautiful than the earth and sea
with a certain tranquilty behind docile eyes
which harbor memories that she tries to hide
but I don't mind, just link your soul with mine
while I try to find out how you could be so divine
you've got hips and curves that wind and turn
and my hands yearn to try to learn
everything about you, your hips, your lips
a desire so great it cannot be eclipsed
and if I could, I'd bet my chips
that you have an itch I was born to fix
because I can't imagine any greater feeling
than your hands in mine, my mind is fleeting
laced and intertwined, from our very first meeting
my heart started beating
I knew you were bound to melt my brain
I go half insane from your touch
it drives me nuts
the way you stay in my mind so much.
