Ten Decisions
Ten decisions
Plague
You're right
One incision
Late
You're tight
And you're in it
Bait
The sight
To see it
Wait
And Sunlight

The Ballad of Theon Greyjoy
My father, my father
Now he's going to see
I've proven myself worth a bother
And there's no stopping what I can be
Future king of the islands of iron
And son to the one who they currently worship
Sprung in the hard isles, I was
But raised in the frozen north
I can only imagine the plans father will put forth
Now that I've sailed
Though with an unruly crew
The iron price shall prevail
Because my father says it's true
And he is his holiness
And the undisputed head of my native land
I can do nothing to quell my hopefulness ...
Now he's going to see
I've proven myself worth a bother
And there's no stopping what I can be

I can only imagine the plans father will put forth
Now that I've sailed

The iron price shall prevail
Because my father says it's true
And he is his holiness
And the undisputed head of my native land

I Swear...
Things just dont seem that right
I'm not sure I signed for this plight
People aren't really looking too cool
I'm ready to just jump in the pool
Yeah, the final pool of life
I'm really just done with the strife
Please just say that it's all done
I've had all my fun
So just confirm it to me
I'm do e with all that I see
But then she just turns her back
Lied and keeps saying I'm giving her flack
But it's not even anything like that
She's gonna give me a heart attack
In your 20s that's a cross to bear ...

Woke Up By Old Green Hill
he howls of wolves rang through the night
Warm air and regret hung o'er my brain
Never was a peacemaker, jus' lookin' for a fight
Always knew a silver lining traced the pain
But then I stumbled on a mangled animal
Breathing heavy, my body just stalled
But this wasn't your usual wild dead
The legs moved and it turned its head
I stepped back as it scrambled, bleeding
Never had such a dreaded feeling
Woke up at the bottom of Old Green Hill
Looked around to find nothing but confusion
Teeth marks riddled arms and then I felt ill
As I...

Flounderin' Blues
You're just a-walkin down the street
Just a-rovin down on and to the beat
So sweet, never knew a love I could bear
Nope I never seemed too easy to really scare
It's just when someone gets under this skin
And I'm so down deep on the hole, you can't win
So I just lay there as she applies the pins
So then I'm stuck there wonderin'
Moving around and just flounderin'
But it always just gets me nowhere
Standing tippy-tied on my on-edge hairs
Just wonderin' and flounderin'
No, it seems I can never win
Nope just doomed to this life of...

The Ball Player
Hitting the dirt
Again and he spins
Averts the impossible
Loses but then he wins
Taking the swings
With the pauses
And the misses with the hits
Always minds his causes
And takes the chunks with the bits
Out and about
He's a man for all people
They scream and they shout
But he's no feeble
Minded trickster with those
Lying sleeves and words
He's the one they chose
He's not just for the birds
No - he don't subscribe to the herd
When it's all said and done
And he unties his laces
He says he's had fun ...

Knowing
I just want
What you do
But what that is
I never know
So come with me
Down to the beach
Your eyes can't see
What you can reach
Lets just go now
Now let's take off
Lets just let go how
How we used to scoff
But now we know
Yeah now I know
What you do
But what that is
I never know
So come with me
Down to the beach
Your eyes can't see
What you can reach
Lets just go now
Now let's take off
Lets just let go how
How we used to scoff
But now we know
Yeah now I know

Care
John DeVito
2 minutes ago
Care
Everything is oh
Well, whatever
Every time I go
I can't sever
The blasé nonchalance
Embedded in my head
I was given a chance
But I'd rather lay in bed
You see I'm not lonely
And I don't get people
I'm always the only
One to see through the sheeple
I don't see the point in
Going through the motions and
Acting like the world isn't caving
And my heart isn't shrinking
With every single breath
And with every person's death
I just can't seem to
Care

Spare
I wanna know
So before you go
As the lights fade
Before the love we've made
Would you spare
Me the scare?
And now the clouds are high
You tell me that you know why
I've never gotten around to come around
Why my vice has always been the sound
Of your lips parting
So before you go
As the lights fade
Before the love we've made
Would you spare
Me the scare?
And now the clouds are high
You tell me that you know why
I've never gotten around to come around
Why my vice has always been the sound
Of your lips parting

Oh, Dreamgirl
I had a dream about you
On a night that I thought would never end
I walked over to talk to you
Don't take it the wrong way if I just wanna be friends
After all that's happened over the years
I can't take anymore tears
I know you like to do your own thing
And I need my independence
It just never seems we are ready at the same time
Never heard of interdependence
The classic way of doing things
Was never for me and clearly isn't for you
So lets just be true and cool
But were both fools
On a night that I thought would never end
I walked over to talk to you
Don't take it the wrong way if I just wanna be friends
After all that's happened over the years
I can't take anymore tears
I know you like to do your own thing
And I need my independence
It just never seems we are ready at the same time
Never heard of interdependence
The classic way of doing things
Was never for me and clearly isn't for you
So lets just be true and cool
But were both fools

Duo
Two
Times again
Again and again
Spinning three sixty
Three sixty and drop
Two
People holding
Hands in the rain
Drops drip and drop
Again on clenched fingers
Two
Cars rolling
Through red
Lights and bam
Crash and burn
Two
Funerals too
Black and bare to
Bear so you crawl up
In a ball and suck your thumb
Two
More times
Before I'm done and
Sit down for
Peace & quiet
Times again
Again and again
Spinning three sixty
Three sixty and drop
Two
People holding
Hands in the rain
Drops drip and drop
Again on clenched fingers
Two
Cars rolling
Through red
Lights and bam
Crash and burn
Two
Funerals too
Black and bare to
Bear so you crawl up
In a ball and suck your thumb
Two
More times
Before I'm done and
Sit down for
Peace & quiet

My, Oh, My
My, oh, my
Would you look at the sky?
Smirking down at me
And I can never know why
With the clouds making faces
And the colors all saturated
Looking down at my shoelaces
Realizing this feeling's so belated
But I fear, my dear
That things aren't what they seem
Your mouth, your leer
Your words never mean what they mean
I fucked up my hand
Just trying to work
You took it and kissed it
And I've never felt so hurt
I guess I just want you
Only more than anything
More than the blues, and the tunes
You compose in head...
Would you look at the sky?
Smirking down at me
And I can never know why
With the clouds making faces
And the colors all saturated
Looking down at my shoelaces
Realizing this feeling's so belated
But I fear, my dear
That things aren't what they seem
Your mouth, your leer
Your words never mean what they mean
I fucked up my hand
Just trying to work
You took it and kissed it
And I've never felt so hurt
I guess I just want you
Only more than anything
More than the blues, and the tunes
You compose in head...
