it comes down to the clear cut path
or the trail with infinite dead ends
and you soon realize the path you chose
is leading you away from your friends
but you want it so bad, you'll give everything you have
for it
she comes from around the corner and knocks you down mid breath
and you think the reason you were put here is to be in her presence
and you want her so bad, you'll give everything you have
for her
but then that feeling, wells up, no matter how you try to keep it down you'll never get enough
you lay in bed, a lone again, cause what you have to say, hasn't already been said
and you have to so bad, you'll give everything you have
for it

jumped the shark
03:32

I make a list, it goes, on and on and on
of all the things I did wrong
so don't you start, telling me when I jumped the shark
just know I was the happiest I'd ever been when I was in your heart
get drunk, over eat, the self destructiveness goes on and on
walk the streets so desperately write a bunch of shitty songs
one day when the thought of you and I is long gone
I hope you keep the best of us and carry on
and you won't start, wondering bout when we jumped the shark, just know I was the happiest I'd ever been when I was in your heart
in your heart
in your heart

the best worst idea ever
03:02
|

|
while you're asleep I will be driving
when you awake I will be arriving
it's to late to turn around
got let it go down go down
til it's all broke, and left to rot
see what grows from the ground, the ground
while you're awake I will be day dreaming
maybe wondering what the hell were we thinking?

the light is green
it is time
to go
and I don't know

you asshole

the delusionist
04:03

|
you've got a way about you
you got away if you were ever there at all
was I seeing, was I to busy being scared
was I seeing, your dreams and your nightmares
was I seeing, things inside you that just weren't there
I'll dig my grave, for you
I've dealt with grief, knowing there was no helping hand
when the car crashes into the brick wall
are you really that surprised at all?
you've got the best, disappearing act I've seen

your bed

don't make me feel like a ghost
I don't wanna harm you
don't make me feel like a ghost
I don't even want the whole truth
did some monster, tell you not to love?
and is it hiding under
your bed
don't make me feel like a ghost
I'm not trying to mess with your head
don't make me feel like a ghost
I just can't walk away from you and be dead
when you wake up
do you ever wish
that someone else was in
your bed
don't make me feel like a ghost

I love you so much it's fucking stupid
I love you so much it's unreal
all the things you do you do
make me feel so gray or blue
I'm a fool you know my name, I'm a fool you play my game
I love you so much it's fucking stupid
I love you so much it's fucking stupid
I love you so much I can't think straight
all the things you say you say
can make or break my little day
I'm trapped inside a jail
until you choose to post my bail
I love you so much it's fucking stupid
I love you so much it's fucking stupid
I love you so much I shouldn't be around
all the shit you pull you pull
leaves me feeling quite awful
I'm afraid to lose, there's gotta be some
better news
then this, oh my then this
I love you so much it's fucking stupid

hot air balloon
03:41
|

|
and if I tell you that I love you understand
it's not the grow old with me kind
I just love you like a stranger who picks you up
and when you turn to thank you'll never find
it's so obvious what you should do
I see it clearly from my hot air balloon
you make the same mistakes I used to
I could tell you but I'm up here off the ground
running away with the spoon
if you could love yourself I'd never worry for you
if you could give it just a try
if you could just express the awkwardness that you have
instead of trying to hide
it's the awkwardness that makes you something unique
it's the nervousness that sings
it's the kind of thing that turns a disaster into
some kind of blessing

I wish you'd show some humanity
I could let it slide
if you'd just take what you need and not the whole damn pie
I guess you're top notch in quality
I shouldn't be surprised
if incompetence is the service you provide
it's no surprise you're a loan
and even though you are gone
you keep taking

what you think love is
02:16
|
|||
|
I don't know what you think love is
I'm not worried about your heart
I don't know why you run from me
I'm gonna find you eventually
I'm not worried about the time
I don't know what you think love is
I'm not worried about the loss

I can not convey the love I feel for you without my silly songs

don't want that safer form of suicide
where dreams and cubicles collide
and we just go from 9 to 5
I'll take a pass
get all my friends into a great big boat
and off and away we'll go
dreaming about the great unknown
and how it's going to be alright
had a dream right after you died
where you picked me up took me for a ride
in a fancy car while the sun set
surrounded by fields of gold
and you looked at me and you smiled so wide
not a word was said while we were on that drive
you dropped me off by the side of the road
and that's how we said goodbye
and that's why I know everything will be alright

amazing hard rock from Cleveland that is super underated.... not that I'd know anything about that.
