Yeah just like Katrina’s

Just like Katrina’s

Verse 1:
Joshie was a good man
But no one understood him
Joshie wrote his feelings
in a book of poems
Joshie had the wisdom
But he never had no children
Had a reoccurring nightmare
he’d live life all alone
Hook:
And when he did
He laid down
He tried to cope
And turn his life around
Chorus:
He’d have lived and died his life alone
had he not gone out and got himself a backbone
You should know that I’m not the one to boast
But I must say I’m the one that gave Joshie hope
Verse 2:
Joshie is the reason
that Bradley is still living
Because he gave Bradley
some much needed ambition
he saw a fixer upper
who needed a picker upper
and while talking sense to Joshie
saw the comparison
Hook 2:
And so he stayed
and sat Joshie down
And told him why
he should stick around
Chorus:
He’d have lived and died his life alone
had he not gone out and got himself a backbone
You should know that I’m not the one to boast
But I must say I’m the one that gave Joshie hope
He’d have lived and died his life alone
had he not gone out and got himself a backbone
You should know that I’m not the one to boast
But I must say I’m the one that gave Joshie hope
Bridge:
Hope is the faith residing in you and me
Hope is what saves people like you me and Joshie
Hope is the faith residing in you and me
Hope is what saves people like you me and Joshie
Chorus:
He’d have lived and died his life alone
had he not gone out and got himself a backbone
You should know that I’m not the one to boast
But I must say I’m the one that gave Joshie hope
He’d have lived and died his life alone
had he not gone out and got himself a backbone
You should know that I’m not the one to boast
But I must say I’m the one that gave Joshie hope

I Am So So Sorry
03:28
|

Verse 1:
I was on my BandCamp
checkin’ out my songs
I came across an album
A really mean one
And it was all about you
I swear that I never knew
that I could be so cruel
or had it in me to be that rude
Just know that I regret it
I wrote them songs when I
was coming out of such a
terrible place in my life
Please promise you won’t ever
listen to them songs
And if you do then just don’t
let them piss you off
Hook 1:
Cause getting you back was my only hope
and I got so so mad when your focus was stole
Chorus 1:
I’ve written so many meany songs about you
So can you ever forgive me like I do
Verse 2:
This is not an invite
to reconnect with you
Though I am so so sorry
but please do not misconstrue
And all the things I said
even thought they were true
it just wasn’t necessary
to wage war against you
Hook 2:
And underneath all of the anger was pain
I was missing your face and now I am ashamed
Chorus:
I’ve written so many meany songs about you
And aired our dirty laundry out like what all you put me through
And I can take responsibility for all of my attitudes
And I’m a firm believer in the phrase “it takes two”

Dusty Memo
03:44
|
|||
Verse 1:
I’ve always been so eager to get all of the answers
So much in fact that sometimes I forget to live
So then I’d analyze it pick it apart piece by piece
And eventually lose track of what I wanted in the very first place
Chorus:
And now I come across a dusty memo
A buried one I haven’t seen in years
I read these words that I once wrote
Foreign feelings bringing me to tears
Verse 2:
I’ve always been a pleaser and put on hold my own desires
For once it’d be nice to not have to be the one to sacrifice
Because eventually I lost all feeling and forfeited my likeability
and lost my life’s experiences I’m ashamed of me
Chorus:
And now I come across a dusty memo
A buried one I haven’t seen in years
I read these words that I once wrote
Foreign feelings bringing me to tears
Bridge:
I am embarrassed
I don’t even
remember
my own feelings
Chorus:
And now I come across a dusty memo
A buried one I haven’t seen in years
I read these words that I once wrote
Foreign feelings bringing me to tears

This story of mine could happen to you
And if it does then just play it cool
Verse 3:
We didn’t choose to be this way, no no
But it’s something that we live with

But I wouldn’t change it
What would you say if the tables were turned babe
Open up your eyes and say
Come on now
Agree with me
Lets make it
really easy
Chorus:
I was afraid of what you’d think
But I realized that it’s my life

Think about this for awhile babe
Be careful what you say
Because some day you may love somebody like this
And then you’ll regret it

This game that he likes to play
Is getting old and I’m over it

Specially when he out talkin shit
And stickin somebody with his dirty prick

And every night when I feel beside myself
I design this game just to escape for awhile

Intro:
Retired? Hmm, I think they mean expired. And it’s a damn shame. Hmm, Kids!
Verse 1:
Dear Lord, What did I do to you to make you make me age / And then stick me in a world where youth means everything? / Where gray hair means insane / senile / and mundane / I might as well be dead and put six feet in my grave / ‘cause once you hit 30 your face begins to fade / And it’s not too long after that the world forgets your name / And then they lock you in a home and throw away the key / And they call it retirement but that’s not really what it means / You see it’s really like you’re luggage that your kids don’t wanna keep / When you changed their diapers and gave them punks lungs to breathe / Only to be cut off and shut out like a garden full of weeds / And they tell themselves they foot the bill so they’re able sleep / It’s fucked up if you ask me / you gave them everything / And they throw you out like old meat / now that’s what’s so insane / Fuck it that’s okay / cause one day you gonna be as old as me / And then you’ll be locked away / just because you’re slightly aged
Chorus:
Oh the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me
Or the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me
Verse 2:
I’m not dead yet so why’m I irrelevant / it’s all up in the head / and just forget the rest / I am just an elder / A geezer of a fell-er / so go home and tell her / that her dad doesn’t matter / That her dad just gets fatter / And has an old man bladder / That he needs a walker / To run from his stalker / And that he needs a wheel chair / And cut of all of his hair / Because some of it’s bare / And he’s out of his Nair
Chorus:
Oh the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me
Or the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me
Bridge:
Lock me up throw out my key
Change the locks no more home for me
But you’ll sleep well because you did the right thing
At least there they’ll care for me and meet my needs
Chorus:
Oh the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me
Or the great I used to be
Yes I had everything
But now I’m just elderly
Nobody even sees me

Took a straight boy on holiday

I’m not home control yourself
I’ve moved on just letting you know

Verse 1:
Something’s wrong here
What the hell did you do to me
Something’s off here
Something is missing inside of me
It’s like I don’t feel
The way a guy my age should feel
It’s like I don’t act
The way a gay guy should be acting
Hook:
And I’m so over this tango so let me go
Cause you’re dancing you’re dancing alone
Chorus:
I used to yearn
And I used to cry
And my chest would burn
Night after night
It’s like I never learned
So I continued to try
And resiliently search
For a hot guy my type
Verse 2:
Something’s messed here
I’m comforted in knowing I am alone
It’s just so peculiar
The fact that I like life better with no one
When society’s
built to cater to couples and families
And being single is thought of as unfulfilling
Hook:
And I’m so over this tango so let me go
Cause you’re dancing you’re dancing alone
Chorus:
I used to yearn
And I used to cry
And my chest would burn

Intro:
You know, missed opportunities are the hardest to get over. Now there you stand, drowning my memories, letting them slip through your open hand.
Verse 1:
Watching the waterfall over the moonlight / Chasing dreams thought we were alright / Apparently you couldn't just sit tight / Your impatience my impracticality they fight / Now here we are wanderers in a lost wood / All I can think of is the would, the could, the should's / Sins of the flesh your intellect my desire they mesh / Yo all I ever wanted to be was someone who could have been great / Now my boasts seem fake / I've lost my way to the edge / No longer joking like Heath on the Ledge-er / Why’d I let you cut so deep / Now I'm looking down and the fall will be steep / Just another one of your mindless sheep / Should have dashed like snow / I’m gonna jump I gotta go / Perhaps now you’ll know / Love you as a friend prefer you as a foe / Whither like Bill / Like Pink Floyd just go on with the show
Chorus:
You pushed me to the brink
But it’s Just another day
In another one of your dumb games
Ya know the ones you like to play
Verse 2:
But I’m alright / I’m just fine / Though it’s a fight / up in my life / It’s not time / to say goodbye / I’ll tell you why / I’m still alive / I’m here still / because I have purpose / I’m not gonna let you get me down / I’m gonna turn my frown upside-down / I’m gonna scream foodstamps loud and proud / Tell the world I’m the brokest bitch in town / The one you gave away that day / The one you didn’t wanna date
Chorus:
You pushed me to the brink
But it’s Just another day
In another one of your dumb games
Ya know the ones you like to play
Bridge:
Familiar sidewalks / familiar faces / I'm stuck like food in braces / Walls of memories / frenemies / friends of me / It's burnt clouds I taste / Soon I'll be paste / Rough return to romance / Oh well / Took a chance / My hands like spiders / Spinning veins / Let me offer you some splattered brains / They burst like growing pains / All part of being lost / All part of being tossed / Drowning memories / Forgotten paths like Frost
Chorus:
You pushed me to the brink
But it’s Just another day
In another one of your dumb games
Ya know the ones you like to play

Verse 1:
I know of a boy who got his shit together
When to the world it looked as though
he’d continue spiraling down
dumped by a man
who promised him his love forever
and when he didn’t
the boy he didn’t give up on love like I did
Hook 1:
He looked in the mirror
he saw a scrawny man
a flabby man
and so he decided that he
was going out
and getting himself a gym membership
and so he did
And when he looks into the mirror now
what he sees is
a guy I only wish
I could have been
Chorus:
He got big in the chest
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
He got big in the pecs
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
Verse 2:
I hope since that boy
could get his shit together
Maybe he could share the key
to finding hidden energy
Like how he went from being dumped
in a slump
something that could have lasted forever
To tapping into something big
Some inspiration seemingly easily
Hook 2
He looked into himself
He saw a sorry man a pathetic man
And so he decided that he was going out
and getting himself a hot studly man
A brand new boyfriend
And when he looks back on his sad life
what he sees is
A life that I
currently live and wish that I could
get away from
Chorus:
He got big in the chest
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
He got big in the pecs
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
Bridge:
Good emotions
Job promotions
Plays at night clubs
Shares all his songs
He’s so fortunate
And I’m so envious
I only wish
that I too
could add up
Chorus:
He got big in the chest
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
He got big in the pecs
Not big in the head
And that’s why he’s an inspiration
Link:
Big arms
Bulging biceps
Oblique’s all lean and
Triceps to die for
He is a muscle whore
And that’s why he’s an inspiration

It Wasn't Love
03:56
|
|||
Verse 1:
If you’ve never
cared for me ever
Then what the hells the use
And if you’ve never
made me feel better
Then what’s the point in you
Hook 1:
I may not know my math
I may not have all the facts
I may not know algebra or fractions
Cause they really suck
But if there’s one thing I do know something about
it is love
Chorus:
That there what you gave me
It wasn’t gonna save me
That ‘love’ that you showed me
It was only gonna hold me
Back that day in the park where
I watched you disappear there
You took that new boy with you
And you departed from me
Verse 2:
Have you ever
loved a guy better
than what it’s like to love yourself
Hook 2:
I may not have good grammar
I may not know all the words
I may not know English well
Cause sometimes I’m really dumb
But I know you’ve never loved anyone because I know about love
Chorus:
That there what you gave me
It wasn’t gonna save me
That ‘love’ that you showed me
It was only gonna hold me
Back that day in the park where
I watched you disappear there
You took that new boy with you
And you departed from me
Bridge:
You know I loved you

Chorus:
That there what you gave me
It wasn’t gonna save me
That ‘love’ that you showed me
It was only gonna hold me
Back that day in the park where
I watched you disappear there
You took that new boy with you
And you departed from me
