Incomplete

You and me and/All our history
You, you, you and me/It makes we
Shel Silverstein, you’re the missing piece
I’ve made a mistake/And baby, ain’t no way
We could lay/Rewind the tape
\Erase all the pain/Nothing left to gain
I’d rather take/2 shots to the brain
Than to cause you any more strain
I could picture your face
You’re my saving grace
All I can beg/Please just stay (x2)
Baby stay
We were meant to be/Not a mystery
Now I'm incomplete/And tell me you can't see
You're the perfect missing oiece
You plus me that makes we--oui
Yes please/There's only
So much/I can say
So please just, please just, please just
Stay/Baby stay

Take Your Time
04:30
|

Rest your weary head/Take time off, lay in bed
You can take naps/In the middle of the day
Don’t listen to them/Doesn’t matter what they say
If that’s how we get you back/Lay there in your sad
Take time to remember/When we hung together
Feels like forever/Don’t feel any pressure
My hand is here/Outstretched to stay
If you slap it away
I’ll know you’re having a sad day
Every once in awhile/Gets too tough to smile
I get you’re in a bad way (x2)
Maybe it’s reversed/And you feel like you’re cursed
We’ll be there for you anyway
Your true friends/Will remain til the end
You don’t have to try and save face
You are trying your best/You haven’t failed
Just takes longer to pass the test/When you’re depressed
It might take days, weeks, months(x2)
Just keep your head above the waves
Try to remain brave/Yours won’t be the only soul you save
Smart man once said “Easy to die, harder to live”
And yeah you get the gist/Cause everybody’s been
Hammering it into your head
Yeah you might wanna give-give/Give up your very last fuck
That you had to give-Your will to live
Here’s the thing/Don’t dismiss all the joy you bring
It might take days, weeks, months (x2)
Just keep your head above/The trying stuff
Because it’s enough/To pull the rug
Then you’re drug/Back through the mud
Once again falling into the hole you’ve dug
Rest your weary head/Take time off, lay in bed
You can take naps/In the middle of the day
Don’t listen to them/Doesn’t matter what they say
If that’s how we get you back/Lay there in your sad
Take time to remember/When we hung together
Feels like forever/Don’t feel any pressure
My hand is here/Outstretched to stay
If you slap it away
I’ll know you’re having a sad day
Every once in awhile/Gets too tough to smile
I get you’re in a bad way (x2)
Maybe it’s reversed/And you feel like you’re cursed
We’ll be there for you anyway/Your true friends
Will remain til the end/You don’t have to try and save face
You are trying your best/You haven’t failed
Just takes longer to pass the test/When you’re depressed
(Chorus):It might take days, weeks, months(x2)
Just keep your head above’ the waaaaves
Try to remain brave/Yours won’t be the only soul you save
Smart man once said “Easy to die, harder to live”
And yeah you get the gist/Cause everybody’s been
Hammering’ it into your head
Yeah you might wanna give-give/Give up your very last fuck
That you had to give-Your will to live
Here’s the thing/Don’t dismiss all the joy you bring
(Chorus):It might take days, weeks, months(x2)
Just keep your head above/The trying stuff
Because it’s enough/To pull the rug
Then you’re drug/Back through the mud
Once again falling into the hole you’ve dug/Then you’re stuck
All the grief, you been feelin/All the pain, you been dealin
With/We can pull you outta this/Reach up and grab my wrist
We’ll board the pit
It might take days, weeks, and months
It might take days, weeks, months
Just keep your head above

Praying For You
05:00
|
|||
Holding you close?That could be enough
The tip of your toes, sink into my touch, touch
J'adore mi amore, you're worth more
Than I can afford
I'm not quite on course
I'm awkward I'm paranoid
But I'm working on my inner core
Til I'm polished steel, sharp and shiny as a sword
I'll fight any battle, I'd war for months
The thoughts that did rattle, when I cut you so coarse
I promise to hold you wrap you in my arms
Not cause I'm told to, it's what you care for
Two birds with one stone cause i need your warmth
I need your warmth, I need your warmth
And I love you more than I care to admit to myself
I guess that's not considered too good for my health
Here I am laying, not wanting to move
So I picked up praying what else can I do
You won't give me a chance to prove
What else have I got to lose
I started praying to gods and deities
Aphrodite, when will she write me
Cupid how could I be so stupid
Upping the intake of fluids
I got distracted, got confused
I started acting like a douche
And I was lit with a short fuse
No shocker, your heart hurts/From all the abuse
If you're searching for the true
Nature of my intentions, was not to cause any tension
I'm a coward, countless times I have mentioned
No excuse for withdrawing acting different
I retreated into the into the into the trenches
God! We are in these trenches
I'm bleeding out, without a doubt
The gauze won't help/Get the vicar
I'm headed there quicker/Than I ever thought
And you are in my thoughts
It feels like I be getting lostHere I am laying, not wanting to move
So I picked up praying what else can I do
You won't give me a chance to prove
What else have I got to lose
I started praying to gods and deities
Aphrodite, when will she write me
Cupid help me be a lil less stupid
I got distracted, got confused
I was lit with a short fuse
I was jaded, awfully faded, awfully excused
Yet you patiently waited/Only for my mistake to shake it
Off the tracks, the monkeys on my back
Caused the derail, and all I do is dwell
Cause I allowed myself, to kick dust off the shelves
Picture of us together
Hugged up in sweater weather
Your head on my shoulder, I smile and pull you in closer

When Can I
03:48
|
|||
I’ll run right back to you if it means that we can be
As we used to be/Forget about the past
And the things you used to do to me/But I’m so clearly
The way you make me feel when you’re in front of me [x2]
Sometimes I just cease to see
So here it is as it resides in me
Amidst the screaming, lying, crying
It’s blinding/I’m capsizing/No more hiding, no more hiding
I stop breathing when you’re nearing
Cause my nerves they get the best of me
And these words they take the rest of me
I stop breathing when you’re nearing
You appeared to sweep me off my feet
More like dirt into the street
Roses really smell like shi-
Told my heart as it skipped a beat
Got a stamp on my head that says mistreat, says mistreat
Said we were just talking/Now I’m puppy dogging
Just hanging and rocking/My bad I made assumptions
We all bleed maroon/We all sing the blues
It’s really nothing new/Just that you started to
to-to-Tune in/You won’t catch a grin
Appearing on my skin/Unless you ink it in
You'll have to look Again (x3) [x2]
Hope it leaves you shook/There’s no closing the book
On this one/Pray to God you’ve learned your lesson
I can’t keep stressin/Cause you are messin with my feelings
I can’t keep on dealin/Man I’m barely breathing
I'm barely breathing
I stop breathing when you’re nearing
Cause my nerves
And these words, these words
I stop breathing

Unfair Distraction
01:21
|
|||
You, your laugh
You, your smile
You would hold me for a little while and let me give you sass
Lose sleep when you're around me
So sweet just like a candy
Cause all i want to do is keep touching you
And I can't cause you got
Work in the morning, work in in the morning, work
But that don't
Stop me from wanting, stop me from wanting, more
Unfair distraction
It's my attraction
That keeps me batting
My eyes at you
Unfair distraction
It's my attraction
To you, that springs a tune
With you I'm always in the mood
Whether we're...no need to be crude
You're one rad human, mad cute and
Glad I have you
Could ask for
All of my lovin, here til the mornin, or
I put you out
Get my work done, then have you over, snore

Only Sometimes
02:27
|
|||
Sometimes I wish that I could go
Where nobody knows, nobody knows
I can feel the grass underneath my toes
Where the roses grow, the daisies bloom
Lay my body down near the shadows
I dip my toes in, to the deep end
Then the cold, it starts to seep in
But it was hot outside, and I done left my ride
This cold (x3)
It starts to feel old
But I was born to be bold
Claim this land as my own
Wandering alone, alone
Along the mountains and roads
Where we talk real low
Don't come too close
Sometimes I wish that I could go
Where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Sometimes I wish that I could go
Where nobody knows

Got No Idea
02:25
|
|||
Feels like blessings are caressing
At the edge of my perceptions
If I could open my eyes
Grab it and ride, off in the night
High in the sky, so high I'll disappear
Into the stratosphere
Can't keep me here my dear/Too queer
I'm destined for more than this
This Earth can give
She's dying and I don't wanna live
Leave her alone, she won't let me go
Won't let me go
I got no idea/What I'm doing here
It's not very clear/But I'm getting near
Yet I still got no idea/I still got no idea
Past reflections, in the right direction
A lack of circumspection
It'll lead me to my destiny
Where I wanna be
But it's all a big guess for me
And it's all a big "Yes baby"
I got no idea/What I'm doing here
It's not very clear/But I'm getting near
Yet i still got no idea/I still got no idea

Less Than
03:32
|
|||
I can’t apologize/Enough
For what/I did (x3)
So I thought I would write you this
Consider this a testament
I was always less than
You deserved/I have lost my nerve
But I’m sure you’ve heard
That these words they serve
As a reminder/To all the hurt
And this won’t begin/To make a dent
Or an imprint/Of what you meant
For all the time I spent
Wrapped up in my own shit
So I thought I would write you this
Consider it a testament
I was always less than
You deserved
I thought I would write you this
For all the things I did/For what I left unsaid
When you’re ready/I’ll accept my punishment
Or if you so choose, the silent treatment
But I thought I would try to mend
This pain I can’t seem to stop causing
Well I thought
But if not
Simply pretend I don’t exist

Complicated Cookie
03:05

Sweet lady, I’m wanting to love you
In the grand scheme of things/Did I even stop to think
If you love me too, if you loved me
Guess I just assumed
My heart ended up bruised and battered
This fate I did choose
As a matter of fact
Retract, it shattered/But does it even matter
You’ve moved on even faster
Than I dared to entertain
Held you timeless, suspended, in my brain
Rude to assume I was the only one who’d change
But these days, if I see your face
I’d crumple faster than a batter
Hitting paper machié
So I'll just drink it away, I'll just drink it away
These days, if I see your face
I'd crumple faster than a batter
Hitting paper machié
So I'll just drink it away
If I see your face
You've moved on even faster
I'll just drink it
These days, if I see your face
Sweet lady
So I'll just drink it away (x2)
These days, if I see your face
I'd crumple faster than a batter
Hitting paper machié
So I'll just drink it away (x2)
If I see your face
I'd crumple faster than a batter

Crazy To Think
04:13
|
|||
I’m fine without ya/Don’t gotta whine about ya (x2)
Did I tell you that I’m loving being free
Make no mistake/Twas an arrow through the heart
You tried to rip it away/Yet it will always leave an ugly scar
Choose to marvel at your work/Better yet, run off, and go berserk
And these words can serve as a reminder
White picket fence, no common sense
That time when I, fuckin lost my mind
Found it in your eyes/And I slipped quietly
Between your sheets/Between your knees
Forgot the rest of the world/Content to stay as “your girl"
Let’s get real/Lost sight of myself
There’s a stranger in the mirror/But I couldn’t be seeing clearer
Break the glass!/Forget the temptation
No more continuation to this endless conversation
We keep having, we keep gabbing, we keep blabbing
Ugch! Like blah, blah, blah
Don’t care no more/Please shut the door
Cause(x3)
I’m fine without ya/Don’t gotta whine bout ya
Did I tell you that I’m loving being free
You do you and I’ll do me
Ain't no cold nights upcoming
Warmed by my fingers cross the page
Loving boxing you up in your place
Now I get to stand tall, not going to fall
Got my back up against the wall/Won’t get me to crawl
Hell naw! Out come the claws
Let’s start by flipping you off/Then ripping you off me
Deep enough that the cuts start to bleed
And growing weak, you kneel down before me
Man, like a lamb lead to slaughter
Blood starts to flow like the water
I’m fine(x3)/Gotta learn these lines
So I’m not lyin/I’m tired of cryin
I’m tired of trying/Not to be the one that’s left behind
I’m gone stay on my grind/Cut you outta my life
*snip snip* that quick
Close the wound, there’s no time
Can’t hit rewind/Repeat these lines, in your mind
You’re fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Get outta your mind
So you're not lyin
You're fine fine fine
