Verse 1: You’re so far behind me (how healthy) that thoughts of us and all our Sunday morning memories have all begun to escape me. They’ve changed me Yeah that’s right they’ve all starting to fade away Chorus: When I never thought that I’d be strong enough to live a life where you were no longer like a thorn in my side but I guess we all get there in time Yeah I guess we all get there in time Verse 2: I no longer torture myself with a third eye, inside The one that I got with you always hangin’ out in my mind You were oh so charming and so so tempting, but devil of a guide Through, not to the light, but into the cold, harsh night Chorus: When I never thought that I’d be strong enough to live a life where you were no longer like a thorn in my side but I guess we all get there in time Yeah I guess we all get there in time Bridge: What I’ve learned on my journey in life so far is that once enough time has come to pass the specifics of what ails you begin to lose shape and melt away And I’ve discovered only I contain all the power to change my fate And I’ve found that the grief it doesn’t last And that it’s never gonna be too late to start again Chorus: When I never thought that I’d be strong enough to live a life where you were no longer like a thorn in my side but I guess we all get there in time Chorus: When I never thought that I’d be strong enough to live a life where you were no longer like a thorn in my side but I guess we all get there in time Chorus: When I never thought that I’d be strong enough to live a life where you were no longer like a thorn in my side but I guess we all get there in time Yeah I guess we all get there in time Yeah I guess we all get there in time

Verse 1: Them god damned throbbing pecs You got protruding from your enormous chest Make me tight in the trunks All night as we bump And grind it up I move to the beat of your love These god awful denim jeans How the hell would I have known that they’d start to shrink? And get this tight on me I’ve gotta stop daydreaming When I know it’s unnatural, we just cant be Hook 1: I get so confused when I’m with you Chorus: I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do but I do Verse 2: Everything that you say Only turns me on, and I use it as foreplay Make me hung like a buck It’s like ecstasy and you’re my drug I’ll lick everything that you touch Silly mundane pleasantries Can we skip to the part where you’re wrestling me? And rip our shirts off like fiends Or like we’re both 17 I gotta stop, this isn’t healthy, you and I just cant be Hook 2: I get so aroused when I’m with you Chorus: I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do but I do Bridge: Lets get into a groove Dude, who you think you’re trying to fool? Hey, where you think you’re going so soon? Baby I’m just getting started with you Bro got me reaching for the tube And it doesn’t matter what he do He always put me in a mood Chorus: I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do but I do Chorus: I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do I shouldn’t love you I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, but I do I shouldn’t love you like I do, like I do but I do

Verse 2: So here’s the thing: You promised me a bunch of shit that you never delivered on. So now it’s time for goodbye, have yourself a fine day, so long.

Chorus 2: I’ll be deaf to you should you ever call when you need someone to talk to.

Verse 1: One day Tommy was here then the next day he simply wasn’t He came and went as quick as he came but while he was here he would always entertain us Hook 1: He’d get really, really bored and sometimes hard He’d hop on cam and take us all too far Make us use our hands, and fly us to mars Wishin’ he would stand and show us more than arms Link: Each night we’d all thank him and award him some merits ‘Cause he was so fucking hot And he spoke so highly of his grandparents He’s just the type of guy you’d love to introduce to mom Chorus: But now he’s gone and there’s no way to ever know if he will come back home Because one day he just decided to up and leave and never gave anyone a vote And so we still don’t know why Tommy had to go He didn’t really ‘have to’ though Not sure why Tommy chose to go Tommy had to go Verse 2: Not sure if he’ll ever be heard from again but I sure hope so ‘Cause with those curves layin’ on that bed I’d be in the woods looking for his ghost Hook 2: He’d get jumpy and lost and sometimes stalked And he’d lose his keys and get chased by dogs Walking through the trees, almost always soft He was, such a hottie can’t believe he’s gone Link: Each night we’d all thank him and award him some merits ‘Cause he was so fucking hot And he spoke so highly of his grandparents He’s just the type of guy you’d love to introduce to mom Chorus: But now he’s gone and there’s no way to ever know if he will come back home Because one day he just decided to up and leave and never gave anyone a vote And so we still don’t know why Tommy had to go He didn’t really ‘have to’ though Not sure why Tommy chose to go Tommy had to go

Verse 1: Can you see my symmetry; Do you see my shapes and lines? Can’t you see the work that I’ve put in? Can you hear my meek hellos? Don’t you hear those feeble sounds? Well that’s just my love, it’s weakening. Chorus: Did you feel my broken heart unpeel And see its unraveling pain revealed After you decided that I be pushed aside? And did you sense that my last chance was gone Because you robbed me of all of your love? I was left behind, and you wouldn’t say why. Verse 2: Do you feel my tepid skin? Can you feel how cold it is? Do you feel the heat as it subsides? Don’t you see how hard I’ve tried? Can you see me drown and die? Can’t you feel my heart beating “forget” Chorus: Did you feel my broken heart unpeel And see its unraveling pain revealed After you decided that I be pushed aside? And did you sense that my last chance was gone Because you robbed me of all of your love? I was left behind, and you wouldn’t say why. Bridge: Can you hear the fissures tear? Throughout my heart as it rips apart? Chorus: Did you feel my broken heart unpeel And see its unraveling pain revealed After you decided that I be pushed aside? And did you sense that my last chance was gone Because you robbed me of all of your love? I was left behind, and you wouldn’t say why. Chorus: Did you feel my broken heart unpeel And see its unraveling pain revealed After you decided that I be pushed aside? And did you sense that my last chance was gone Because you robbed me of all of your love? I was left behind, and you wouldn’t say why.

Not Ever 04:07
Verse 1: Hey You, I stopped putting so much love into us ‘Cause evidence showed that you didn’t like my love And I realized what was really going on thus, I stopped giving you what I figured you just didn’t want Hook: My constant reassurances My uplifting compliments Someone who’d counteract all the hate you had for yourself Chorus: I loved your ass so much But you didn’t reciprocate my love Not ever No, not ever And I kept it up for far too long Smiling the whole time even though I got none Not ever No, not ever Verse 2: So look, Mister Pompous Jerk-Wad How’d it feel to receive my fake façade Selfishly stealing tidbits of me like oh my fucking god While I stroked your fragile ego and then I would nod Hook 2: With my constant reassurances My uplifting compliments Someone who would counteract all the hate you had for yourself Chorus: I loved your ass so much But you didn’t reciprocate my love Not ever No, not ever And I kept it up for far too long Smiling the whole time even though I got none Not ever No, not ever Bridge: What about me? If only you put half as much work into us What about me? Maybe then I’d feel just a tad more loved than I was What about me? If I’d only had the knowledge then that I have now What about me? I’d have had the will to pack my stuff up and move out What about me? If only you put half as much work into us What about me? Maybe then I’d feel just a tad more loved than I was What about me? If I’d only had the knowledge then that I have now What about me? Me?

Still(ness) 04:08
Intro: It's a barrage of insanity It’s a barrage of insanity Verse 1: My mind is fucking screaming “Who’s gonna shoot the banshee?” I wander between the trunks of the trees I sit on my knees upon some moss and dream Chorus: If I lifted my head up and let all the moisture into my skin would I find that the stillness is indeed what lifts me up in the end? If I closed my eyes and sat back and then I let it all sink in would I find that its silence that will bring me my desired peacefulness? Verse 2: The bark scratches at my back and the fog rolls under my heels I think I'm starting to get the knack In the pond's reflection, I see all the many faces and various places But I know it wont be long now ‘cause standing still for so long invites chaos one smoothly thrown rock erases Chorus: If I lifted my head up and let all the moisture into my skin would I find that the stillness is indeed what lifts me up in the end? If I closed my eyes and sat back and then I let it all sink in would I find that its silence that will bring me my desired peacefulness? Bridge: If you take each day as it comes you'll find that you can and will in fact be strong If you live not in revenge but in love then you’ll take comfort in knowing that you‘re better off Chorus: If I lifted my head up and let all the moisture into my skin would I find that the stillness is indeed what lifts me up in the end? If I closed my eyes and sat back and then I let it all sink in would I find that its silence that will bring me my desired peacefulness? Chorus: If I lifted my head up and let all the moisture into my skin would I find that the stillness is indeed what lifts me up in the end? If I closed my eyes and sat back and then I let it all sink in would I find that its silence that will bring me my desired peacefulness?

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
