Call me pretty boy But inside’s ugly Talking to myself Tell me that I’m Making something, Of my life I think I am I’m working on it So get off my back man Wake up early Ignore the stress Don’t need to worry I can’t make a bigger mess Of your heart It’s long been dead I took it by the face And I shot it in the head That’s it Ignore the stress I’m just selfish No one to blame I

I met the perfect girl today The only problem is She lives so far away Across the sea And through her age Why must she live so far away? I think that I Should get a girl like you ooo oo oo Someone who makes me go crazy With everything you do I’ve searched so far and wide But nothing could be found Oh girl, You make my heart spin around My friends make fun of it But I could care less ‘Cause you are the girl for me I believe that, oh yes

A quiet place you’ll find it Where your heart belongs. Home Where you last left off I remember sometimes I’d be drifting off inside And remember some things Too powerful for my mind Think slow You don’t have to let it go Slowly get the feeling I’m better off alone Tired Of only mentally leaving home I’m always seeing places I could swear I’ve seen before And then I start to miss them And then I long for more So show me how to Make it back there To that place inside my mind Where thoughts still hold a meaning I thought had been lost to time So show me how to feel it in me To feel it in me like I did before, Show me how to feel it in me To feel it in me like I did before Slowly get the feeling I’m better off alone Tired Of only mentally leaving home

I feel like I'm on top of the world If we say that's the Hill down the street and I'm so above all your little problems Even though I've got my own and I just can't solve them So I'll act like they've been resolved then Go on without a care Lookin' down from my little hill This time I'll get it right and This time I won't say, "goodbye" It's all a part of your plan But I just can't seem To see things clearly like I'm Stuck in a haze of uncertainty and I just want to be worth Someone's time Woah oh oh oh oh I'm comin' up on a red light But I'm hopin' she turns green 'Cus I'm not cut out for that life I'm not one for takin’ my time Oh, I‘m not one for takin’ my time Slow down, slow down To see things clearly can we? Take your time, take your time

Natalie 03:32
Is it alright if I call you Natalie? is it alright if I call you Natalie? It came as a surprise When I looked in your eyes Just one ring And I’ll be fine Deep, deep, down In the color of your eyes I can see you wear No cheap disguise I fix my hair though we just met But you don’t mind, you don’t mind Said its something bout your smile That I haven’t seen in awhile And it’s nice Does it mean something When she wants to Touch you twice? Oh yeah

PHD 04:47
So why do we fight? The stronger always comes out on top But it doesn't mean they’re right Oh, whoa We’re under control Oh, whoa We’re under control Spoil me take my fun All my actions make me numb Take all the crippled people And label them dumb Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Oh, the people they cry I’m sorry if I caused You to stumble I hope now I’m holy enough And humble Can you feel it? Yeah Can you feel it? Yeah Oh, the people they cry Oh, the people cry

I Have One 05:52
No baby’s, no love What is excitement? No baby’s, no love What is a thought? Close calls Thank God For bloody fingernails. These walls Feel good Around me, yeah Cool summer breeze An ache’n in my knees From the shack wagon This song’s about My cat Because i have one This kinda sucks ‘Cause now I have fleas Where I don’t want them I hope this song Makes you feel wrong Makes you feel wrong Feel wrong, feel wrong Inside

Tidals Pt. 1 01:52
Ring around my finger You shine like the tile I’d do anything to See my sink smile Roll down the paper Hope it wipes me clean Always wondered what, a mirror’s seen Door stoppy thingy Is slammed through the door They decided that they won’t Take it no more Waves are broken And tidals have crashed I never got to tell him To kiss my ass

Rainwalk 04:48
How it shuts out the voices Pulling at my hair How it kills evil parts of me How it makes me aware Hot damn Listen to it sing Like a blanket, like a tomb And it’s still ringing Lament, those who don’t escape World’s just a whisper now Up among the grass Bless it as it speaks to you Rainwalk And miss it when it haunts you after Let it sing in my conscious Let it numb my throbbing head Let it wipe away my bleeding Keep it safe beside my bed

School + 05:37
Lets give off A mystic impression As I follow you Down the bridge Now we’re jumping out Of school bus windows Using bags to break our fall Library In a sunny daze But I’m getting lost In the summer haze Watch their eyes now Closer, closer Radios on Their minds all gone But I found the book In the familiar room Covered in grey Paper’s tomb Then I was caught for being fast Locked in the room With the plastic bed Used my knife to Crawl out the window He and I running up the hill But I never leave school One way or another Wake, dead, or dreaming You’ll find me there I’m the tool The void’s my instructor And it’s not just my imagination Climb the temple In the massive space The steps are people And I can see his face Cross the field Where the children play Someone’s hurt But home’s so close Coming down It’s morning now When I fall back in I hit the ground So I travel to The overgrown tower And hide in the top Where the night time lasts The shadows open The doors and crawl They act so busy Can you see them now? But I never leave school One way or another Awake, dead, or dreaming You’ll find me there I’m the tool The void’s my instructor Everything I learn is from him And school is a metaphor

When I go outside the sun looks Just a little pale And I can’t find the words to describe Exactly how I feel Yeah She don’t need me She don’t need me No she don’t need me no more And when I go outside the sun looks Just a little pale And I can’t find the words to describe Exactly how I feel She, don’t, need me No she, don’t, need me no more Hey! Hey! Hey? She don’t need me no more

Zorth 04:32
She’s just a another girl Tryin’ to make a life Another pretty face Lost and alone She’s lookin’ for someone To hold her tight She’s lookin’ for The right guy to walk on by And every single day She goes on without him She says Another little goodbye He’s just a lonely boy Lookin’ for someone to love And he would have met her today Had he not been so shy He’s lookin’ for someone To show his love to He’s lookin’ for that girl That he can hold tight And he walked Right by her today with nothin’ Left to say but: “Eh, the moment wasn’t right” He would have met her today and He would have met her today and He would have met her today and They would be married He would have met her today and He would have met her today and He would have met her today Had he not been so shy.
