Nothin' to Say
04:55
|

Sometimes there's nothin' to say about the things that are in my head and my heart today. If I try to put words to feelings, sometimes it can be too damn revealing to say. But I know what's on my mind, it's just another little ugly piece of time on a loop. It seems I cannot concentrate on anything except all of my mistakes, and the foolish things that I've done.
So I sit when I think, and I'll drink when I think all about all the troubles that I've got. I'll sit for a while, and I'll sit with a smile knowing the good outweighs it by a lot.

She said, "you're in my head and I just think my love for you is spent." And I said, "let me pay rent 'cause I don't want to own you, I'll just stay for a bit." But too much time to analyze will torture us to death, so I'll pack my things instead.
Do you remember how we used to love each other? We would laugh, dance, and sing. Do you remember saying that we would last forever? Well, now that memory just stings. I never would have loved you if I knew it had ended like this; spent too much time treated like shit.
I didn't live to spite you; you did that to me. I guess I was killing time until you set me free.
Did you forget about all the things you meant to say to me and never did? I forgot it's all my fault for not knowing your thoughts. When things got dim, you just ran and hid. You wanted us to speak more, but not the truth about ourselves. Well, now I finally got you figured out.
If I broke her heart, would she even break the silence? She loves to kill with kindness, it's her favorite kind of violence.

Love Anew
06:31
|

Unfamiliar faces, meeting over breakfast, politics on T.V. and in the room. Some discuss their worldly travels; others, their uphill battles. The waitress just asks, "honey, are you good?".
I see one gazing over, the other at the wall; disinterest if I ever saw. Every word tinged in conceit, still smiling eyes from the other seat. Stood up, payed the tab, and said good-bye.
How did it feel to love and not be loved? She was on your mind, but you weren't the one she was thinking of. So, I guess it's best to just sail on with a shattered heart within, and someday they'll be glued when love anew begins.
They say time had elapsed, but I'm sitting in the same cafe, same corner booth. I recognize two lost faces, sat alone in separate places. Distance can hold so many truths.
Is there someone in your thoughts? Maybe a pair of eyes ingrained into your head? Well, it's hard to want and let it go, but that's the game, as you grow you know, this game of chasing hearts has no end.

Better Man
04:34
|

I feel lonely today. I should call a friend tomorrow. The bank sent me a letter; there's no money left to borrow. There's a light out in my stairwell. It's been out for 30 days. It's not laziness, it's not giving a shit. They're close, but not the same. But if you're free today, we could go out in the sun. I hear kids outside playing; I wish we had that much fun. Or maybe I should focus, 'cause I've been in-between careers. All I have to do is pick one, but I haven't made a choice in years.
And I don't want to be a better man. I just want to be who I am, and I'll leave you alone.
Are you lonely today, or is that too sad to ask? There's a couple on T.V. and they remind me of the past. My friends don't know I'm empty, 'cause I always make them laugh. I fear what people think, though people only make me sad. But if you're free tomorrow, we could go out for a drive. My engine light keeps blinking, but the stereo works fine. If not, I'll drive alone; it's my favorite waste of time. I'm happiest with myself when it's just me and my own mind.

The Bottle

When I'm hurtin', I'm hittin' the bottle. When I'm sober, I'm doing the same. And I don't play the blame-game no-more, I'm just drifting these days.
My clothes hang on the line, and I swear they never dry. It's funny how that reminds me of my life. Now, why would I lie about what I do with my time? Good things come; bad times, they get better.
I'm not hard to find. I stay locked in my mind. My eyes stay low; these walls, they climb. I try to stay numb, it's my own rule of thumb. A concept not excepted my some.
You bring me down. You can't find out that I heal myself with one more round.
So much time has gone by since we slept side-by-side. Now I forget what that feeling was like. Sometimes you're on my mind. Not in the best way every time. I'm just being honest, don't take it to heart.

Nothing Left to Dream
05:10

I'm tired of this broken town. You got caught up in its run-around. The more people you meet, I realize the less people I need. But who am I to place any blame? You chose your game and I just ain't that fake. I'm tired of waiting for your pretty blind eyes to see.
So cut me loose 'cause I hang onto the memories of me and you. Finish what you started and set me free.
So wake me, baby, 'til there's nothing left to dream. I've been hiding from reality, and my heart's still fast asleep. So break me, baby; tear up every part of me. Take my heart so I move on; don't leave a single piece. Wake me up and kill the hope in me. 'Til there's nothing left to dream.
I strum my songs while you string me along. Cut your ties if the feeling's gone. You fight your love the same way you fight with me. And what you think is real will only touch the surface. It's an act I can't watch, baby drop the curtain. Play the part you want despite our history.
