Lagrimas con Crema
03:18
|
|||
I wake alone, there’s no one home, the world is silent, I don’t want it, once upon a time we were all here
Laughter, coffee, beans con crema, come and take a shower with me, the girls will be fine for a little while
I’ll buy donuts, we’ll go shopping, Goodwill and Salvation Army, we can buy more owls for our home
No more, my wife chose her white pills over me, Mama loves the numb life more than me
Ooooo
You were lines, I was a pen, I’d write our stories till the end, of happiness and sadness I could sing
But you had demons you would treat with, have them over, girl we have kids, demons have no welcome in my home
Oh no, sleepless nights and senseless fights, betrayals in the fading light, you were selfish, you were wicked, you were home
No more, my wife chose her white pills over me, Mama loves the numb life more than me
Ooooo

Home
02:13
|

I’d like you to be home to me
Every night I’d come home to you
You’d wake up and I’d be there
I’d make breakfast we could share
In the bath-time there’s room for two
I’ll be soap and you shampoo
I’d like you to be home to me
Every night I’d come home to you
You’d wake up and I’d be there
I’d make breakfast we could share
And then we’d drive real far from here
To where wintertime means snow is here
We’d look at the star filled sky
We’d smile, you and I
We’d smile, you and I

Lay down your head loves, and worry about not a thing, for I will be here, I’ll be watching you
You can dream if you’d like or you can just close your eyes and let sleepiness slowly fall into you
But don’t be afraid of the night, for darkness it helps us appreciate light, and in the morning you’ll wake, feel that sun on your face
Feel and sing, sing it out sing, cause you make my heart sing, it sings for you sings
Cause I’m filled with love, love, love, sadness and love
And you’re filled with light, light, light, darkness and light
So give me all your kisses, kisses, oh my little Misses I need all your kisses, I always will
Walk with your head held high, let nobody put you down, you are lovely, you’re brave and you shine so bright
And though trouble will find you love, just hold your ground, you are stronger than what they can throw at you
But don’t be afraid to feel sad, for tears help us fight through the times that are bad, yes even tears have their place, feel them run down your face
Feel and sing, sing it out sing, cause you make my heart sing, it sings for you sings
Cause we're filled with love, love, love, sadness and love
And we’re filled with light, light, light, darkness and light
So have all my kisses and hugs, have my voice and all of my love, you always will

Dance the Pain Away
03:03
|
|||
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Cause I have gained my freedom but I’ve lost my home
I am bleeding, I am drinking, I am sleeping alone
And now I’m falling towards a future that’s completely unknown
I’ll end up face down in the gutters if I drink here alone
So lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Because tonight I’m filled with fire, don’t you feel the same?
I have a tendency to crush on every girl within range
But you cannot have my heart for it’s now made of stone
But wouldn’t you rather dance with me than be out dancing alone?
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Oh girl I know you have a boyfriend but you know he’s all wrong
He’s controlling, he’s an asshole, and you don’t get along
There’s you and I and there’s this bottle and it’s playing our song
So spend the night out here with me cause this is where we belong
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance

D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Me!
02:20
|
|||
And all I wanted was my pillow
But all I found was this empty space in our bed
Isn’t this the place where you should lay your head?
But you’re gone, I guess I’ll sleep alone
And all I wanted was some breakfast
I’ll fry the eggs, you make the coffee
But in your absence well the kitchen seems so cold
Fuck it all, another day of drive thru
Never mind what I said, I don’t miss you, no I’m glad that you’re gone!
D I V O R C E me, leave me, leave, move it along!
Get the fuck out of here
I’ll make my own goddamn coffee from now on
I’ll grab your pillow and stuff it under mine to better rest my own head on
I’ll spread out all over your side of the bed and sleep fucking better with you gone
You’re gone gone gone gone gone
I’m sad you’re gone gone gone gone gone
I’m glad you’re gone gone gone gone gone
Fuck you! You’re gone gone gone gone gone
Cause all I wanted was my pillow
But all I found was this empty space in our bed
Isn’t this the place where you should lay your head?
But you’re gone, I guess I’ll sleep alone
OR JUST FIND SOMEONE BETTER

No Heart to Break
02:34
|
|||
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I have no heart to break
And now we’ve come too far to just walk away
No, somebody’s got to pay
But I’ve got no heart to break
Or I would gladly pay your way
Right from the start you see
I was cheating at this game
Cause I’ve got no heart, no stakes
Or I’d gladly spare you pain
But I’ve got no heart to break to pay your way
You surprised me in the evening when you reached to hold my hand
Kept surprising me till morning, girl I am only a man
But I’ve got no heart my dear
Or I would text you every day
I’ve got no heart to feel
Or I’d be begging you to stay
I’ve got no heart, it’s true
And I’m sorry it’s this way
But I’ve got no heart to break
No I’ve got no heart to take
No I’ve got no heart to break
So just walk away

Adam and Eve
04:11
|
|||
Wake up, wake up, the world ended yesterday
But we’re still here
I guess we managed to escape the flooding and the fires
The liars mad desires to shape the world in their own images
Uh oh, uh oh
Well I’ve been thinking that there’s a reason
That you and I survived the destruction
So I’ll be Adam and you’ll be Eve
And love and laughter, we can start it all again
Uh oh, Uh oh
You look to me like someone I can love
Cause tragedy is etched into your eyes
And I see my reflection, a soul without direction
So take my hand we can start it all again
Uh oh, Uh oh
Well I’ve been thinking that there’s a reason
That you and I survived the destruction
So I’ll be Adam and you’ll be Eve
And love and laughter, we can start it all again
Like Ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahaha

Silly Little Love Song
01:53
|
|||
Well I could love you if I tried to
I could tear these walls right down to let you in and bring you closer
But I won’t love, no I won’t dear
I’ve got too many things to do
And I’ve got too much respect for you
To turn you into silly little songs
Unless of course you’d like to sing along
Cause we could sing girl
Write our own songs
Hit the road to find some new towns
Wake up early, books and tea
I’ll read to you if you’ll dance for me
But you’ve got responsibilities
Places to be and promises to keep
I know you’re more than just a coda to a song
But maybe you might like to write your own?
Cause I could play this here guitar
And you could dance and sing along
Well maybe theres still time to build
A future painted fire and gold
Cause we’ve got so many things to do
And we’re not as young as we once were
But this is just my silly little song
Unless of course you’d like to sing along

Icarus Heart
04:07
|

Don’t fly towards the sun, you’ve been there before, and you’ll only burn
Slow down fast heart
High on wine flavored lips, your tangled desires get caught in the fire
Slow down fast heart
Slow down fast heart, hold back, love smart
Slow down fast heart, she’ll melt your wings apart
Fall, you’re falling straight down, your crown hits the ground, it bursts into sound
Slow down fast heart
Quick, gather up the shards, place them under guard, let nobody near
Slow down fast heart
Slow down fast heart, hold back, love smart
Slow down fast heart, she’ll melt your wings apart
There’s tears, there’s tears, they’re in your eyes
But I don’t like to see you cry
There’s laughter, smiles, down below
So let them out dear, let tears go
For you are much too filled with light
To waste your life with tears inside
There’s laughter, smiles, down below
So let them out dear, let fear go
Slow down fast heart, Slow down fast heart

And you, you’re too good to be true
And it turns out that you’re not true
You’re just another silly dream I had
And I should know better than to dream at all
Cause every time I jump I fall, fall, fall
I fell for you
But you’re not true

Little White Reasons
04:16
|
|||
Here she comes, she can barely walk again
Take my arm, I’ll guide you home again
What’s that you say? You messed up once more?
But you “love me so”, that’s good to know I guess
Every time I stay the night
Your body strips away my pride
Held defenseless in your spell
I grasp at the lies it tells
You confess, you think you’re worthless
I protest, to me you’re everything
If only you could set aside those pills
We could build the home we’ve wanted
Every time I stay the night
Your body strips away my pride
Held defenseless in your spell
I grasp at the lies it tells
I’ve been broken so long
Forgotten how to be strong
You’ve got little white reasons to move on
Little white reasons to stay gone
I’ve been broken so long
Forgotten how to be strong
You’ve got little white reasons to move on
Little white reasons to stay gone
She says “Please don’t go. Don’t you remember when
you were my best friend? I can’t lose that again.
Stay awhile. I’ll give you all my warmth.
No one else will love you like I do.”
Every time I stay the night
Your body strips away my pride
Held defenseless in your spell
I grasp at the lies it tells
But I’ve got little white reasons to move on
So this will be our final song
I’ve learned how to just say no
It’s time to take my heart and go
It’s time to take my heart and go

Dance on Broken Legs
04:33
|
|||
I’ve been wincing from the pain
Of dancing upon these broken legs
My whiskey and my lovers drained away
And I can’t remember their names
Oooo
I’ve been sleeping with my gun
At night I like to hold it in my hand
Its cold caress upon my neck
But I’ve got singing to do yet
Oooo
I’ve been writing my own songs
Detailing the things that I’ve done wrong
The melody hides in my throat
There are no notes for the words we wrote
Oooo
I’ve been dreaming of a friend
Someone who doesn’t run from whats within
She would guide me to the shore
Lead me to the edge where I could let things go

Pack Thy Secrets Deep
05:09
|
|||
He sells all his daylight, he rents out his mind
In a three walled asylum that owns all his time
He had such plans once, dreams of freedom
A pen and a notebook and stories to feed them
He’s made a nightlife inside of a bottle
He prowls his phone apps in search of a song
Companions come easy but they never feed him
He’s starving to death in the midst of them all
Are we going to, Are we going to
Are we going to die this way?
Are we going to, are we going to
Are we going to die…Mama this way?
Cause I’d rather die then see you in such pain
We’re trapped in the flames
Pack Thy Secrets Deep where no one can see them
Pack Thy Secrets Deep and hold them close
She’s back on his doorstep, she’s tear stained and windswept
She’s only come home cause there’s nowhere left to go
Her black eyes match the shade of her track marks
The ones hidden between her fingers and toes
She says “I swear that I’ll stay clean, our daughters they need me
I just need a place I can stay for a while.”
One week later she’s crouched in the corner
She’s screaming, crying, bleeding and the needle’s on the floor
Are you going to, are you going to
Are you going to die this way?
Are you going to, are you going to
Are you going to die…Mama this way?
Cause I’d rather die then see you in such pain
We’re trapped in the flames
But I’ll pack my secrets deep where no once can see them
I’ll pack my secrets deep and hold them close
Pack Thy Secrets Deep where no one can see them
Pack Thy Secrets Deep and hold them close
So I’ll drink, I’ll get fucked, I’ll press everyones luck
Oh on nothing but hatred I’ll feed
There’s an ocean of rage and it’s stuck in my veins
And I can’t seem to fight my way free
Oh I’ve held it together for the sake of our daughters
But my strength is now failing me
So won’t you please hand me a drink?
Won’t you please hand me a drink?
Won’t you please hand me my drink...

I always loved the Fall
But now it fills me up with memories
I heard a voicemail from a ghost
And it disinterred our story
So I severed all my limbs
A dissociative disorder
Some people drink so they’ll forget
But I just wanted to remember how to feel
I dressed up for the part
With bloodstains on my tank top
Hell I even played your soundtrack
Mr. Young, The Damage Done
Jenny please don’t let me disappear. Please…
Jenny please don’t let me disappear. Please...
Cause I’m going to cross this road
And I don’t think that I’ll make it
But I know I can’t go back now
Cause I know that I can’t fake it anymore
Maybe if I drive real fast
I can keep up with the spinning
One-thousand-seventy miles per hour
I’ll never have to see the morning/mourning
Cause if you’re the setting sun
Then I’ll be a fucking meteor
Let me show you how it’s done
Burn out so that it’s memorable!
Remember!
Jenny please don’t let me disappear. Please…
Jenny please don’t let me disappear. Please…

Love is just like alcohol
Drink deep enough you’re bound to fall
It spins you round, it warms you up
It’s poison once you’ve had too much
I’m drowning in yearning.
Death is where the lonesome go
A place to rest their broken bones
Karen won’t you take me there
Griefs made life unsharable
I’ve given in to nihilism
She say's "No, your soul is still your own
So let death go and go back home."
Karen how could you baptize me
In waters of invulnerability?
See these chains wrapped round my soul?
They’re meant to drag me down below
I came here to drown, please don't pull me out
My mirror has a loathsome face
A monster's staring back at me
There's darkness that’s clung on to me
But death might break it’s tendrils free
I’m impotent and desperate
She say's "No, your soul is still your own
So let death go and go back home.”

Let’s pretend and for the sake of argument
Say that I could breathe and love and feel again
I’ve survived by giving up on all these things
I’ve survived by placing all my hopes in chains
I’ve survived by running round with lonely girls
Finding shelter in the arms of sorrowful strangers
In the morning find your things and run away
We’ve got no plans for tomorrow just the memories we’ve made
And though it’s not at all the life that I would choose
You’ve got to make the best of what is left once you lose
Everything that you had made before
The storm ripped off your ceiling, now you’re clinging to the floor
Cause what is left to lose but everything?
Could you risk it all again just to feel something?
I’ll be out on the corner you can meet me if you’d like
Honey we can drink beneath these streetlights.
Let’s talk about what’s wrong
And how our hearts have been stomped on
But in this we’re not alone
You’re not alone
I remember well the tears shed on the road
Alone in traffic when suddenly that song comes on
You used to dance to this with someone that you loved
You’d face each other and you’d loudly sing along
So now you’re stalled, there’s devastation on your face
The other drivers, when they see you, well away they race
Surrounded by a hundred thousand people but alone
But your cubicle is waiting, you can’t turn and just head home
But though these days are long and nights can feel so cold
Each day that passes, you grow a tiny bit more bold
You make new friends, you start to dance your nights away
You start to think that maybe you could be okay
Cause what is left to lose but everything?
Could you risk it all again just to feel something?
I’ll be out on your doorstep, you can meet me if you’d like
Honey we can dance beneath this moonlight
Let’s play our favorite songs on our phones and dance along
Cause in this we’re not alone
We’re not alone
In the morning lets go out, let’s drive away
Head to the city where we’ll have ourselves a holiday
We’ll walk through LACMA, hit the thrifts in Echo Park
And then to Hollywood Forever for a movie in the dark
I’ll pack a picnic basket, you can choose the wine
Lay out a blanket and we’ll leave old memories behind
Cause life is wonderful it’s happening all around
And I refuse to waste another moment feeling down
Cause what is left to lose but everything?
Still I’d risk it all again just to feel something
I’ll lay right here beside you, you can hold me if you’d like
Honey we’re still here
Honey we’re still here
Beneath the starlight
Here in the dark we see the light
