Bloodstream

i got out of your hair and into your bloodstream
then i told you i loved you which meant fucking nothing to you
and some actions were forced, reactions all natural
so naturally i sent myself back to my doorstep
and i know
i'm too scared to call you tonight
cause my love isn't what it should be
it turned into a fake pipe dream
so come to me, desperately please
just see me
i got out of my mind and into a slipstream
of negative thought and illogical meaning
with you
and my heart is a burning undeserving muscle
and my heart is a room that no one can come in
except you and your lovely mind
my love will never mean a thing
it burned holes in my daily routine
come to me eventually cause
i question my resources of what i'll do next
i question my thinking i'm better off dead
you're becoming a memory
but i won't let it kill me
and i know i'm supposed to be moving along
but how can i forget you if its easier said than done?

i set the bait, we separate
i'm dipping my feet in water
paralyzed by the thought
what have i done? why am i running?
i take a drink, my blood is boiling
i see you around the corner
ask you out for the night
sit back relax
i'll keep you warmer than warmest
give me sympathy and tea
we'll throw our own party
give me coffee and tv
its all that i want, its just what we want
i wanted to be there for you
i know the way to your heart
i know i've changed but in most ways i'm still the same so
ask me your questions, put on the candle light
give me sympathy and tea
we'll dance around like we're seventeen
i love you so, i love you so
can't spend another night home alone
tell me something i don't know
i've got some queen and some hall and oates
i love you so, i love you so
if i spend another night home alone
there's dead soldiers scattered on the ground
stale smoke in my jumper
can't shake this sad ass feeling now
i'm so scared of sleeping
i wanna be something more than this
but mostly need more than this
crawling round my bedroom
flipping through empty pages
got enough of your sympathy
not enough of your company
but thats okay

you take another photograph
its funny cause you make me laugh
please don't let me go
i laugh cause i'm happy for the first time in ages
its not at you ever
straight back to bed again
your face never left my head
i'm not feeling well
please forgive me now
i'm sorry for letting you all down
this mothers day
its bad timing
i thought you felt the same way
but who am i kidding?
ain't that the way its always been?
a little boy with nothing left
is all i'll be
i don't care what people say
i don't wanna live that way
maybe time will lift me up
from this bed i'm sleeping on
i'm straight back to bed again
i'm oversmoked and sad again
on mothers day

Blood of Love
03:30

love snuck in my room last night
it was fearless
it was drunk and kinda high
and i was sleeping with a pillow my my side
it caught me open my eyes
it gave me some good advice
it told me what to do and told me who to pursue
it told me it wasn't you
(so i trusted his face, said i had been patient, i'd been lonely, but not desperate. i'd been stabbed in the back... but he just laughed out loud.)
so i kicked him in his face
said this is your lucky day
pulled out his spine from his waist
watched his insides fall all over the kitchen floor
and the blood poured on me
and the blood won't come off me

Best In Me

if you could see the best in me i know
my obnoxiousness won't show
its only something i wish i could shake off
and if you could simply spend more time with me
i know things would work out
i might not stick out like a sore thumb
what could be worse?
and i guess i'm not good with rejection
but i'm glad i waited for this long
i know sad songs won't sell me to you
so i'll stay away
yeah i'll stay away
if you meet me at the show
when everyone goes home
i'll tell you things you don't know
and keep a smile on my face for a while
but i'm sorry for mistaking you
my room is the only place that i belong
please say when everythings alright
(i won't stand too close to you, you might interpret that as loving you. i won't stand too close to you, if this is something that i can't undo)

Keep On It
02:48
|
|||
|
i'll sit like a stranger, troubled and dull
you're speaking to no one but an irrelevant numbskull
who gets nothing from you
you still feed him your words
what am i to think when a weeks past and you're still occupied?
cause i can't tell what you're thinking sometimes
i'm so unprepared for these signs
they say its all in your head
but you said you felt the same so i'll keep on it
things will change unannounced
after unreliable days that pass me
today's been such a drag
cause i know i'm not your man
and i'm sorry i put those things behind you

Ryan's Daughter
04:02
|

|
i just wanna sleep on a mountain
watch the clouds streaming by
with you by my side
i just wanna know why i love you
i don't care if it don't make sense
because it feels right
i'm sorry if i hurt you
cause we've been friends for way too long
and i waited for the moment
yes i waited for the moment
and this is it so if there's something on your mind then tell me now
i could never take advantage of you
there's nothing in this world i'd rather do
than spend time with you
i promise i'm not a desperate man
loneliness is what i crave
but the thought of you with someone else
is killing me down to the core
i'll wait if you want me to
i know i should have done this much earlier
but i waited for the moment
yes i waited for the moment
so if there's something that you wanna do with me tonight
then we can do it
i can't wait another minute
you can put your head on my shoulder
we can talk about feeling older
while we take the bus back to my house
get drunk and watch ryan's daughter

No One Can Hear Me
03:36
|

|
there was nothing wrong with me
when i told you i loved you
when i told you i missed you
you left medicine on the top shelf to cure me
and i'd say its my history
that made it so hard to listen
but no one can hear me speak
i wish it was just a mystery
or maybe its karma's way of hitting me right in the face
i've spent plenty lonely nights
thinking what could have happened
and now i know it can't happen
cause i asked you time and time again
and not a question was answered
now i'm the loneliest bastard
so maybe i'm right in this instance
and at least i tried my hardest
i'm starting a clean slate
cause no one can hear me speak
i'm convinced way too easily
i deserve to live out on the street
its so fucking easy to feel discouraged
and shatter all your pride
i won't go back there again
i'm gonna find some new friends
and leave you all
cause no one can hear me speak
i wish they were just fucking with me
but maybe its karma's way of hitting me right in the face

Karma's Way

oh, the karma came back down last night
i tripped on the steps at st kevins arcade
and all the people just pointed and laughed
at something other than my crippled walk back
to the main entrance
could it be my band?
and all the words i sang?
i couldn't care less if you don't like my stuff
but why you gotta snub me like that?
i just wanna talk and feel invited
its hard for me to feel like i made it when the air feels so thin
its hard for me to feel accepted
when i went in without competition
