Why

Now that all your friends are gone

And you are the last one

With a beat, yeah

You must move on

From your mourning song

So why

Are you leading

This life

You must believe there's something better

We want to know why

We want to know why

We want to know why

Why

Are you leading

This life

You must believe there's something better 

 

The Letter

I've been running in circles

Chasing your name

Every whisper, every shadow

Drives me insane

You're the fire in my night

The storm in my sky

No matter how long

I can't say goodbye

I know I should let go

I know I should move on

But my heart keeps beating for you

Only you, only you, only you

Got me waiting, got breaking

What can I do

I crawl, I'd fall, I'd lose it all

If it'd mean I'd get to love you

I see you laughing, shining

Like you don't know

That my whole world stops whenever you go

You don't need me

I'm just a face in the crowd

But I'd give up my pride just to say it out loud

I'm burning for you, only for you

Only you, only for you

Got me waiting, got me breaking

What can I do

I'd crawl, I'd fall, I'd lose it all

If it means I'd get to love you too

Tell me to leave and I will be gone

But deep down you know that I won't last long

Call me a fool, call me blind

You're the one thing I can't leave behind

I've been meaning to call you all

And tell you all that you're beautiful

But that I'm sad (yeah, yeah)

I've warned you all, I've warned you all

Not to pretend I had a chance (yeah, yeah)

I've been running in circles

Chasing your name

Every whisper, every shadow

Drives me insane 

 

It Won’t Affect Us 

I can't express my gratitude for how I met you

And after all

My fear's not to die but to burden you

To slow you down

Complications will inevitably rise

I want to look down to see you

By my side

You're so lovely

Yeah, that's most the time

You make this home

With those little guys

Whole, strong, warm, fun

You make it, you make it

You bring the love

Some fluctuations will eventually fly

I want to look down to see you

By my side, by my side

I've got some imperfections

Haven't we, haven't we all

My thoughts on our direction

Leading us where we belong

And that's home

Whole, strong, warm, fun

Infections will fester all to displace

This life and love that we've made

It won't affect us, I promise my love 

 

Costa Rica

Rocky silhouette brought by lightning

Reflects the tide roll in to me

Up to our knees in a crashing adventure

Hoping to steal a kiss from she

Tag- you're it, Marco Polo in the dark

Castles of sand lie near the sea

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody

Nobody doesn't, so give it to me

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody now

Killing time down at Raíces

Hiding away, all one big dream

Sleep not we will go on til Dawn

Tells us all it's time to come in

Pass the funk- don't keep me waiting

My how I'd love to dance with thee

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody

Nobody doesn't, so give it to me

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody now

Smell of exhaustion, breathing the air

Watching the fall as you climb on me

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody

Nobody doesn't, so give it to me

I've got a secret

Don't tell anybody now 

 

Bully Envy

Walking down the hallway

Some mother fucker put "kick me" on my back

Heading to the stairway, my inner dialogue saying

I know I'm on, I know I'm on, I know I'm on

On my way to better things

They're gonna cause trouble for you sun

Are you gonna beat em up

They're looking for you to have their fun, fun, fun

Are you going to beat em down

If they see you you better run

Is that the only option left? No

Here's my plan

Four point-o

PHD

University

Join a gym

Join a band

Grow a beard as a man

Support the team

Date online

Tweak the formula all to find

Matrimony

Let me show thee

I'm going geek to chic

And our performing all these creeps

Someday

But these creeps out chic my chic

Are doing better than me

They've gotten away with everything

There's no karma and life's unfair

To bald boy with bangs in his eyes

Illiterate idiot in love with telling lies

I'm jealous of you

Top the smug girl lucky enough to believe

In her family's made-up mythology

I'm jealous of you

Señor Glen

Señor Glenlivet, Mr. Pepe Lopez

I do regret to inform you yet again

We're drinking alone

Do not fret, on the way home

I will get

A CD from the glove compartment

Of a car my parents own

We'll take a detour on the way home

She probably won't be there

Driving by makes me feel so alive

On this cold winter night

On this cold winter night

Pay my tab and say farewell

As the snow commences

My star field's there

On my drunk drive home

I sing for you

I'll take all these chances

And I'll make it through

These hard rejections

And sobriety checks

I have so many questions

Of what comes next

On my drunk drive home

I sing for you

On my drunk drive home 

 

Biggest Fan

It's been strange to see you three lie here

It's been hard to see you three live at times

But I guess that's how it goes on the far right of the bell curve

They say that you look peaceful

They say they know they know where you have gone

No pictures, I haven't got them

No video, I didn't grab them

In my mind is where you live

Where you reside alive

More than a thousand people

More than a thousand people cried

They know our bodies leave us

I know I'll lie here one day

No pictures, I haven't got them

No video, I didn't grab them

In my mind is where you live

Where you reside alive

To my biggest fan

I'm your biggest fan

My biggest fan

Biggest fan 

 

An Old Friend

I had interest in your sister

So don't think, mister

That you were anything but a tool to me

Adult man, flannel fan

Who knew you could cry, sob, weep

Like Nancy Kerrigan

But you weren't beaten friend

You hadn't seen someone die

Nor had you gotten my

Analysis of a rotten man

The kid of person who never works

But screams why, why, why

When they don't get it

Sound the wedding bells

Two dumb people will someday be

Three or four

How will you teach em' to be big

How will you teach em' to read, kid

You have no clarity

Recognize no charity

You'll never learn to fly

Nor have you gotten my

Analysis of a rotten man

The kind of person who never works

But screams why, why, why

when they don't get it

It's never your fault

You're too old for this 

 

Steve’s Lil Boogie

We grew up, it’s a boy

Turn around and years of joy

They have gone down

They’ve gone away

Now that I’m invisible

And the two of us divisible

The most tender of parts 

Have frozen through

And for the love that you wear

An outfit we no longer share

I find love is an outfit that looks better on you

I find that love

Love looks better on you 

A train of change is rumbling

A grain of truth is surfacing

That for so long had been at bay

Sometimes I wonder boy

I need to leave for somewhere old

I need to scramble

Scramble back home

I find that love

Love looks better on you 

When my feet hit the floor today

I didn’t feel any pain 

My hackles are down

And I’d like to say

The decision to leave’s okay

Once again, I can say

Love is an outfit that suits me well 

I find that love

Love looks better on you 

 

 

Your Thieving Heart

There was no work and the snow had blanked my black-top town

I thought I was the only one awake, but I was confronted with electric eyes

Asking questions of love and life and what I think is right

Asking questions of love and life and what I think is right

I looking for the answers, toiling over answers

And picking up on cancers from this little dancer

Never been the man without two hands

One in reality, one in awesome plans

Maybe I should warm my coldest shoulder

Before you know it, this life is over

Everything is cold, god isn’t here

I haven’t a job, I haven’t a career

And if you want a game, of course I’ll play

I don’t know the rules, and I have to say

What I want is, really want is

Anything to believe in

Anything at all

Your love’s a front for your deception

Your thieving heart is reckless

You’re stealing it all

Stealing it all

She likes to steal

Stealing it all

She cannot feel

She likes to steal

Whatever you do, don’t believe her

She’s not quite real

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

Where’d it all go

Where’d it all go

Where’d it all go

Where’d it all go

Your thieving heart

Your thieving heart

Your thieving heart

You’re thieving
