Fool's Gold

It's not your fault
I knew what I
was getting into
the question is did you
A well adjusted
aching head
when will it pass
when will it end
It's hard to stay gold
a precious ore
to be bought and sold
after all I'm just a commodity
we'd better mine it all
A well adjusted
aching head
when will it pass
when will it end
Gone is the spirit
Dead is the heart
the enraptured hedonist
still unfulfilled
May I fish by the sun
and work in the afternoon
when the moon does rise
I'll read the words of a much
wiser man
It's not your fault

Happy Now?

She slaved alone
from dusk until dawn
while I was busy cursing
the branch that i fell from
it only takes
one rotten piece of fruit to
ruin the bunch
but you know that
I know a young boy
who would've loved to know
the reason for his broken heart
and why dad isn't coming home
Sorry for the trouble
I just wanted to know
It's funny how now you're the one
saying: "please just go"
It's almost been 20 years
since the lights flashed red and blue
how does it feel to be free
now that you've paid your dues
I know a young boy
who would've loved to know
the reason for his broken heart
and why dad isn't coming home

Summer (Teeth)
03:17
|

In all these dreams
my teeth wouldn't quite fall
so i reached in a pulled them out
myself and turned to the vices that i
never meant to have
As the devil whispers
over these sunken shoulders
"there is no god, or white light
to save you so sit
and take another drink with me"
Well you smile and look on
but I don't understand
what it is I feel
Naivety? No it's purity
we all know how this goes
How the story ends
it's the content that matter
we'll all soon forget
As the devil whispers
over these sunken shoulders
"there is no god, or white light
to save you so sit
and take another drink with me"

In Passing
03:39
|
|||
Rest in peace
you will be missed
for a week
then we'll forget
With every passing year
those words are worth less
but that's life
and maybe that's why
Those with nothing to say
are quick to pray for you
to prove they care
about something, anything at all
Advertise your sympathy
then move on it won't take long
and that alright, such is life
yeah that's alright, such is life
That those with nothing to say
are quick to pray for you
to prove they care
about something, anything at all

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
my troubled young son
another deadline
overdue
Celebrate with
your favorite things to do
that all ensure
you won't have too many more
Happy birthday
gone are cakes
and the party hats
you've got much better stuff
than that
the only thing
you'll remember is the hangover

Not Yet Content
02:39

What do you buy the man
who has everything
but wants more?
How do you appease the cynic
who sees only darkness
and still seeks it out?
What can I do
to un-see
these terrible things
Seek the one who knows
the cure to all your woes
the one who doesn't seem to be around
oh I see
It's getting harder to breathe
the more and more you think
what is the cure?
what is the medicine?
where is this medicine?
oh god
Seek the one who knows
the cure to all your woes
the one who doesn't seem to be around
oh I see

Won't Change
03:56
|

Control your eyes
seems you always lose sight
indulging in an insatiable
hunger to be right
Every misunderstanding
desperately defended
honestly needn't be
don't you think?
A glutton for this feeling
of mistakes repeating
and not quite insane
because you don't expect a change
But you only ever see
when your words have run dry
and the memory eats away
while in bed you lay awake
A grin of content
smirks so condescending
honestly they're much deserved
when will you learn
A glutton for this feeling
of mistakes repeating
and not quite insane
because you don't expect a change

Caifornia
02:19
|
|||
I've watched the California sun set
thousands of times
behind the ocean
or was it the mountains?
As I watched the plastic people
scurry to and fro
trying the latest fad
it's vegan, and gluten-free
Do you want to live forever?
What is the final goal?
With that big bright smile
you're talking but I hear nothing
Do you not feel the pain?
Does your mind not chase itself?
In circles, over and over
it's never ending
Every step back makes it worse
the picture more tainted
with every step
does it not make you at least
want to take a beautiful a beautiful
bullet to your
Do you want to live forever?
What is the final goal?
With that big bright smile
you're talking but I hear nothing
