Old Scratch

It was one wrong decision
Then my nights were all gone
Had to give them away
And all these demons that surround me
Almost did take control
Fateful night, fateful day
Really no one’s ever on their own
Why can’t you leave me alone
Why can’t you leave me alone
Why can’t you leave me alone
Old scratch in the California sunshine
You met me on the grapevine
Mister tricks in the light pollution
And the orange sky
Why can’t you leave me alone
Aooh
Why can’t you leave me alone
I said your name in a room
I said your name to forget
All this pain in my head
When the lighting had failed
A certain Aura filled the room
It was Golden instead
Really no one’s ever on their own
Why can’t you leave me alone
Old scratch in the California sunshine
You met me on the grapevine
Mister tricks in the light pollution
And the orange sky
Why can’t you leave me alone
Aooh
Why can’t you leave me alone
Alone alone it’s my greatest fear
They are whispering right into my ear
And I’m waiting for answers to appear
But for now I’m fine just with you my dear
Why can’t they leave us alone
Old scratch talking right into my sunshine
He met us on the grapevine
Mister tricks shooting light pollution
To the orange sky
Why can’t he leave us alone
Why can’t they leave us alone
Aooh
Why can’t you leave me alone

Thursday By The Seaside
02:58

Put on your favorite sweater
Are you feeling better than you did last week?
I'm sorry if I smiled when you tripped on a lace and then fell into the creek
But when we found out you had thirty days to live
I admit that I was missing you like you were already gone
And when your father came out crying like a girl
I admit my face was whiter than your hospital bed
And I said ooh
Just started loving you
Ooh and you're already gone
Thursday by the Seaside
Friday by your bedside
I had to grab your hand
In the morning, flowers
In the evening shower
I've got a plan
Talk to me one last time, just one more time to hear
Just your pretty voice beside me
And the radio behind me
Now that I've told you all the things I've never said
You just sit there and stare at me with those green brown hazel eyes and say
Ooh just started loving you
Ooh and now you're gone

The Clouds Will Not Rest
03:00

I know it’s only been 40 days
But when I go outside now it rains
I know you’re only 1 mile away
But I cant live without I can’t stay
And you will be above the clouds
Two weeks from now
Flying to the motherland
Where you will stand
And I will sit and watch the clouds
Going round
Dreaming of those wasted hours
That once were ours
There is a chemical in my brain
My feelings for you
I know you’ve fallen just the same
My waterloo

Eternal Autumn
04:22
|
|||
|
I want to live in the land of the Eternal Autumn
But I just keep on getting signals from the spring
Staring at screens with the shades drawn to the bottom
The sound of a voice is a torturous thing
I want to float over dead grass of dark meadows
Take a snap, add a caption and post
I want my life to be as bad as I say it is
But with the sun like that, I will never be a ghost
(Girls)
Endless summer is all I know
Beach boy south coast sand like snow
Hey little brother you'll never know
What it means to be alone
2x
I want to think that a filter makes me perfect
But then again, perfect has no definition
I want to love, but I also want to be the reject
I want to want because wanting is my occupation
(Girls)
Endless summer is all I know
Beach boy south coast sand like snow
Hey little brother you'll never know
What it means to be alone
4x
The sound of a voice brings me back to reality
Voice has no font; it's not cynical like me
Do ghosts have a voice, I ask of you my friend
Do ghosts ever sing, or is death the final end

Sporting Youth

Lazy days
Waking up in a hopeless haze
The sky is blacker today
Sleepyhead
Mind your manners and mind your dread
Your eyes are darker today
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
Yeah me yeah me ooh
Half past twelve
Go to sleep with your tragic ways
Dreams are nightmares today
At first glance
I thought you were a scene to see
Guess my mind had escaped me
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
Yeah me yeah me ooh
The Sporting Youth are out to get me

A Sentimental Trap
03:31
|
|||
|
I couldn't think of a better way
For letting wasted hours waste away
For documenting youth and trees
Than putting syllables to melodies
And when the rain seemed to shoot upward
And when we drove home on Sundays
I hear the echoes from the pulpit
But I still can't reach the summit
So I walk out and check the daily mail
Remembering those days at Yale
Art museum and the used bookstore
Watching you walk down the corridor

Kitchen Knife
03:42
|
|||
|
La la la loving in the time of our lives
La la la loving is a kitchen knife
Sha la la knowing what you really mean
Sha la la knowing is a guillotine
I exist to give you all
Use me like a paper doll
Tape me up and cut me down
Love is throwing me around
La la la leaving you is suicidal
La la la leaving you for my survival
Sha la la show myself to the back door honey
Sha la la show myself the truth about honey
I resist to no avail
Every time I try I fail
I can live but let me be
Cut me slack some sympathy

Hair Is White
03:35
|
|||
|
Skin is covering the earth inside me
Veins are carrying my thoughts around me
Hair is white, undying love is screeching
From the open door that is my mouth
Eyes will see the pages turn from life,
To life, to life, I left behind, without
Tomorrow comes just once
Will your blood stop flowing?
Will your heart stop showing?
Tomorrow will begin
And the day I die draws nearer
And the way I die is clearer
Why don’t you just call me
Because I miss you
And you don’t seem to care
Why don’t you just find me
Because I need you
And you’re just unaware

Forever Under The Stars
04:48
|
|||
|
The look that she gave me it seemed so far away
And as she slammed the door
Knowing I would come again someday
I believe in miracles
But knowing you, you’ve gone away
Forever.
All I want is everything
I’m satisfied with anything you do
I just want to know something
I’m terrified of everything they do to you
Out, away, among the stars
There we'll go, my love
Out, away, see in the dark
I see through you, my Waterloo
