See the rain fall on this god forsaken world,
Now you know that you can’t be my girl.
It’s not that I don’t care for you, it’s just that I can’t stand,
The way you disappoint me and I cannot take your hand.
Helena, oh Helena, you’re not the one for me,
Even though I know that I’m exactly what you need.
Helena I can’t love you when you play these foolish games,
You lose me so easily it’s really such a shame,
Oh, it’s really such a shame.
So now I see you hanging around with the wrong crowd,
My friends are telling me that you’re making me stand out.
I’m trying to look respectable but you make me look a clown,
Your decision is your decision but I will not be dragged down.

Emily

I, I walked home alone in the rain before,
But I never felt so angry and insecure,
I'm in love and I'm out of love in an instant
Oh, I'm out of love with you
So Emily, spend the night with me 'cause you know I've been alone for too long.
But you won't will you 'cause you're already gone!
All your friends they're from another planet,
I can't do anything that they do, I just stand around awkwardly.
All your friends they're from another planet,
They know how to dance, they know how to be cool, but I just complain constantly
Give me a minute won't you?
I'll remember how to be cool
Give me a minute darling
I'll remember how to be charming
It was in my head one time
I, I walked home on my own in the rain before but I never felt so alone
I, I, I'm in love and I'm out of love with you and now I'm drunk and I'm alone and lost.
I don't know how I will ever get home

Fleeting

What if we’re not ok? Would we even know?
Introspection is hard, and leaves us nothing to show.
What if this isn’t alright? It would be news to me.
Just a fleeting thing that was never meant to be?
How do we see the chasm before we’re on the brink?
Do we the sand shift before we start to sink?
This really must be it, there can be no better,
But there’s something in your eyes that I just don’t understand.
And if it’s over do we even care? It’s just one time in despair.
And do we want to avail ourselves to pain? It’s just one time, one time and again.
I could off you my heart, it’s as good a place as any other.

Be As It Will Be
03:25

The walls are closing in again and I wish that they'd refrain,
This constant pressure building at the back of my eyes,
Remove glasses, grip the bridge of the nose,
Attempt to stretch my thoughts beyond this ocean of doubt.
And so we break with fate and just let it be as it will be.
Out of sight and constantly on my mind,
You broke through my shell and crushed my defence,
The walls crumbled and the towers fell,
My heart cracked open and allowed another in.
And so we break with fate and just let it be as it will be.
Trust not in the fragile, the broken, or the rigid,
Be supple, the flexible reed bends in the strong wind but it breaks not.
I love you and I need you, this is immutable.
This is tempered and will not yield to the simple or the mundane.
And so we break with fate and just let it be as it will be.

Less Than Nothing

I’m tired of staring at these walls, I’m going out for a walk. You say it isn’t healthy but I don’t know what that means. You say it isn’t healthy but I know where I can get what I need.
Give me something tell me that I’m ok.
Give me something tell me that I’m not.
Give me something tell me that I’m nothing now
Well I guess that I’m not much of a man, I’m not what I hoped I’d be. You say it isn’t healthy to beat myself up so much. You say it isn’t healthy but I don’t know what normal is any more.
I’m less than nothing now.

Criticize Me!
02:48
|
|||
|
You called me immature, unstable and unsure,
But you’re the childish one here and things don’t looks so clear from your ivory tower.
You called me impulsive, a drunk and abusive.
Look your problems in the eye, then you find you don’t have to lie just to make it through today.
You can criticize me all you want but I won’t stand here and take this from you!
You can criticize me all you want, but from your high horse you get a clearer view
You called me last night, it was just an excuse to fight.
An outlet for your pain left standing in the rain when you don’t want me anymore.
I don’t know what to do.
I can’t seem to get through to you.
I don’t know how to please,
But now I’ve got you on your knees.

Save Yourself
05:16
|
|||
|
Slowly you tiptoe across the room,
You put down your drink and stand close to me,
Please don’t make me, I don’t want to fall again,
My weary heart can’t the strain
Of all the people in here why choose me?
Don’t you have another heart to break?
Please don’t make me, I don’t want to fall again,
I don’t want to fall in love with you.
Slowly you tiptoe across the room,
You reclaim your drink with a plaintive sigh,
All I wanted, ever needed, always want to be,
Forever wanted, forever needed and I,
I can’t save myself from falling in love again
I can’t shield myself from falling in love again
Save yourself.

Useless

Please forgive me I haven't been myself for a while,
I'm angry, then again I'm not.
I'm useless I'm your cross to bear,
I'm sorry that being cruel's not something I forgot.
I, I'm not as young as I once once
and I know that I'm better off because
I understand that look in your eyes
the look that one who's dying can't disguise
Can never disguise
I've made choices, all throughout my life
some of them, most of them, all of them were wrong
but I hope that I've learned something to help me sleep at night
because I haven't in a good long while
And finally we're unshackled from this cold earth
and we fly, and we fly too close to the sun
As our wings melt and we fall to this graveyard of broken wings
we are clipped, we are clipped at our apogee
I, I'm so much older than I am
and I know, that I don't have a plan for this
So I'll wrap myself up in lies
But there is still one thing that i can't disguise

Rebecca

It was a beautiful day to go walking through the fields just my love and I.
It was a beautiful day to go walking, my love and I.
I gave her a bunch of flowers all knotted together with string,
She looked deep into my eyes and said that she would wear my ring.
Oh my love, Rebecca remember me.
We walked down to the river and I put my hand in her hand.
I swore that I’d never wrong her again and she told me that was her plan.
Oh my love, Rebecca remember me.
She bade me look at the water and she slipped one stocking from her leg,
She murmured something softly as she slipped it around my neck.
Oh my love, the river rolls out to the sea,
Oh my love, I’ll wash away you will see.
Where I lie at the water’s edge there’ll be a stone to mark my hear,
And there she’ll carve me an epitaph “in life we are better off dead”
Oh my love, the river flows out to the sea.
Oh my love, I pray that thou will remember me.
