More Than Love

It’s okay to be afraid
Don’t worry about tomorrow
Let’s play today
Whatever hurt I may have caused you
It should go away
Cause in this life
There’s no more separate ways
Dear mama, I think it’s way too soon
To abandon this world just to break the moon
I’m so scared with all we’ve got to lose
Cause lady I can’t do this without you
When the streets on fire
Don’t you call my bluff
Cause I’m coming, it’s better my darling
the two of us
And when these days get cold
And these nights are rough
I’ll be your fire, baby
Maybe it’s more than love
Tell me something, tell me something true
When there’s nothing out there left
To look forward to
Oh, it won’t matter much
When you’re pulling through
Cause I think my time here’s long overdue
Cause when the streets on fire
Don’t you call my bluff
Cause I’m coming, it’s better my darling
the two of us
And when these days get cold
And these nights are rough
I’ll be your fire, baby
Maybe it’s more than love

Death Rattle
03:31

It only matters when it matters most
I fell asleep a child and woke adult
Now I complain
My body aches in pain
I try so hard to listen
But most you say I’m missing
These ears don’t work the same
Forgetful they say
But I just can’t place
Where I left my brain
Have I met my match?
A stroke, a heart attack
My fears are coming true
Nothing I can do but
Stand here waiting for
While Death comes knocking at my door
Someone who can’t let go
Won’t let go of me
Oh, I feel so broken
An old person cliche
It keeps me questioning
“Did I lose out on something?”
“Was I happier this way?”
Alone I say, in my thinly numbered days
It’s clear: I lost another year, so
Stand here waiting for
While Death comes knocking at my door
Someone who can’t let go
Won’t let go of me
So it goes
From the gallows pole
I’ll hang my broken heart
Time will weigh
The old against the new
Oh, here comes closure
With his entourage of regrets
He extends out his hand
A card in his fingers
He winks, wishes his best
And so it reads
“Oh, not everybody needs someone
“It’s okay to be alone, son”

Crazy For You
03:56
|
|||
|
I’ve got this broken body
To show you my love now
But there’s just one thing
Oh, that gets in the way
A mind so dirty
I can’t get these feelings out to you
Just what I want to do
It’s all right
When I’m out of my mind
Crazy for you
Oh, I think it’s better
You try to get away
There’s nothing good here for you
My heart beats broken
Oh, it just wouldn’t be all right
To keep you from your life
It’s all right
To be out of my mind
Crazy for you
‘Cause you got to go now
Go now, go now, go
Get away from here
Even if it breaks my heart
Mother, told me just you wait and
See how life turns out
But I don’t love like normal people
Oh, just give me one more night

I can see that your mind is made up
After all the energy I'd take up
I fear now that nothing can save us
'Cause both of us - neither one of us - is the same us
See, I don’t even blame you for the
Where-what-when-how
Now it’s all pointless to care
But I know
I treated you badly
But hardly a reason to let your madness mandate
Your
Thoughts and actions
Just take a second and you’ll see
I’m the man that you thought I was
There is no place that I’d rather be than
In your arms with all this behind us
So please put the gun down angel
We can both find peace of mind
And
If you just give me one more chance
I swear on everything it’ll be different this time
When I was a young man my father told me
Hold everything that you love closely
Don’t let it slip through
When I said I loved you
I thought that you did, too
And now I’m sorry for what I did
Can’t you find it in your heart just to forgive
Can’t you remember a little piece of what we had
'Cause if you pull the trigger, sweetie
There’s no turning back
Save me
My baby’s got a bullet with my name
She wants to put it inside my brain
I fucked things up
Isn’t that enough?
What can I say?
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you everything
I’m sorry I couldn't
I’m sorry isn’t please
I never said that I was innocent
So isn’t it
Typical that, of course, a compulsive sinner
Would sin again?
The two of us like a courtroom with its litigants
Pinned against one another convinced
The other shouldn’t win against
So I guess in a sense
I’ll end up the victim
Why do my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears and
I’m so sorry for the hurt that I caused you
The kind of darkness that grows over the years and
I can see that it’s consumed the whole of you
There’s nothing left of the you I thought I knew
Oh, darling, I can still feel a soul in you
Should’ve said goodbye and just let go of you
But I didn’t
I tried to hold on
Where on earth did we both go so wrong?
The same song repeats itself all day long
So until then
So long
When I was a young man my mother told me
Hold everything that you love closely
Don’t let it slip through
You just have to hang on
Even if it kills you
So if this is my final goodbye I
Want you to know that I honestly tried I
Tell you I love you one last time
You couldn’t save me but I’ll still
See you on the other side
Save me
My baby’s got a bullet with my name
She wants to put it inside my brain
I fucked things up
Isn’t that enough?
What can I say?
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you everything
I’m sorry I couldn't
I’m sorry isn’t please
There's nothing left of the you I thought I knew
When I said I loved you
I thought that you did, too
Save me

Rock Bottom
03:45

I’m going to leave here with nothing
Empty handed I fear
But the absence brings that something
In my mind’s eye I see it so clear
This I all that I’ve got
Just remember to stop
And love all the ones around you
Cause they won’t stick
Cause they won’t stick around forever
Stand back
You made it a bad habit of
Showing us that you just don’t care
Tell me now
Did you think you had that something?
Harder than the floor
This heart’s hit rock bottom
It’s just too easy to plot your revenge
Than to finally accept
The flaws and then mend them
This thing that we got
This fire don’t stop
We burn down the house around us
Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face
Stand back
You made this a bad habit of
Showing us that you just don’t care
Tell me now
Did you think we had that something?
Harder than before
This heart’s hit rock bottom
Your eyes pan over her body
Cold as ice there will never be somebody
As good as she was
You’ll never feel at home
Stand back
You made this a bad habit of
Showing us that you just don’t care
Tell me now
Did you think we had that something?
Harder than before
This heart’s hit rock bottom

Holiday Fool
04:16

Linda she laughs without warning
It’s just those little things
The morning was so full
As the Delta made its way through the leaves
Oh, the place
Oh, my escape
In a cabin where it could be just you and me
I can confess my love
Oh, Linda, you’re the one
But now the sun don’t shine
Need to let that go
It’s a way different time
The world is another place
Digging up her grave crying
My dear, don’t die
I should’ve left that book alone
Now Hell has come with a fight
And fight back I just might
Can you hear them calling?
Dead by dawn
I’m done come morning
Why’s this night feel so long?
We all know better than we want to let on
Just some teenage fun
That went from right to wrong
Keep dreaming
Trying to keep my cool
This holiday fool
With panic wrestling my mouth
I locked an old girl in the basement
Hoping she won’t come out
From the dank and the mold
She utters, “Boy, I’ll swallow your soul.”
I submit my hand for the saw
For the saw is fam
As the dark pages say
You’ll open a rift through time and space
There’s no reason to question why
When you’re the hero of the sky

Sweet Talker
04:17

Everybody's broken here I'm touched
Telling their secrets to me
Sweet talkers
But I can't let them go
Oh, if it were so simple
Would they fuss?
They'd tell me everything
But I don't care that much
Cause when your last breath
Fades you out
Oh, there'll be no words left
For anyone to shout
Sweet talker, sweet talker
Everybody's here against their will
Oh, I'm dragging
They're screaming at me again
I'll be alright just need a little more time
Watching these bad, bad people
Playing the good guys
Cause when your whole world
Comes crashing down
I promise you, I'll be good to you
Somehow
Cause when the good guys
Can't save you
Go run and hide
Go run and hide

Roll For Initiative
03:19
|

When I open my eyes
And the sky becomes clearer
I realize I’m buried in the mud
For days or weeks, but the worst is over
As I stand before a world beneath my feet
I beg your pardon
Your name again?
It’s been so long since I had
The chance to call anybody my friend
Let this life begin
Let this love begin
With swords drawn to the sky
If no ones laughing, no ones listening
Save your fear of heights
For another time
Cause tonight’s the night we fly
So what’s it worth, worth, worth
If you’re not, not listening?
The wrong, wrong words
You choose to keep on singing
Save your fear of heights
For another life
Oh, she warned me, but I’m stubborn
Now I can’t find a way into her arms
These dark days, now upon us
I’ll fight with every inch of blood and heart

All that I found from the edge
At the top I looked down
Over my shoulder
I hear her leave
Now that you’re gone
Who will sing to me, my dear?
Let your echoes fill this house
Your courage, my love, I need
I can’t stand this new me
Cause she’s the brains, my sweetheart
Always
I can’t make it up to you
I can’t make this
When there’s nothing I can do
So tell me don’t you say, don’t you say
That I don’t listen to you
Don’t you say, don’t you say
Baby, I’m over you
Now this is all
All I deserved
To learn what living’s like alone
Hide, hide my body
Deep within the walls
Before she returns with somebody

Stay Where You Are
02:50
|

|
Laura, save your tears
I’ll be right here
Over your shoulder
Watching out for you
We’ve had good times
We’ve had bad
But the one thing I can’t have
And that’s forever, we knew I’d have to go
Oh, isn’t it so hard this way, letting go
But hold your fondest memory
And hold it close, sing out
Hallelujah
Loud enough so the echoes know
Where to go beyond the stars
Just you stay where you are
All the youth I knew so well
I was lucky can’t you tell
To see so much of the lives you would know
With me inside them so clear
I love you all, my dears
But I’ve got nothing left
So, leave me here
Stay where you are…
I love you, Beeps. I miss you.
