Little me, little you
There's not much finer than the lines
inside the lines, inside the lines
Of the crinkles in our wrists and the wrinkles in our thighs
Be it a dimple with a smile
Or a follicle of buried hair
You cannot get much tinier
I swear
Than the cells that make up all of us
And every bit in all of us
And although those with more surface area
May have a few extra
Still no different than anyone else
You, I and them are made of microscopic matter
See this is why it shouldn't matter!
If someone calls you big or small
The world is tiny after all
inside the lines, inside the lines
Of the crinkles in our wrists and the wrinkles in our thighs
Be it a dimple with a smile
Or a follicle of buried hair
You cannot get much tinier
I swear
Than the cells that make up all of us
And every bit in all of us
And although those with more surface area
May have a few extra
Still no different than anyone else
You, I and them are made of microscopic matter
See this is why it shouldn't matter!
If someone calls you big or small
The world is tiny after all

Mirror
Mirror hangs so neatly on the wall
It's edges form to square cut brass
Reflective mind, neglected glass
Mirror shows exactly how I stand
Other eyes see different things
But mirror truly understands
Mirror wont make judgement calls,
Love nor make a mess
Mirror it is not your fault
All the pain they spread
Mirror Ive got tear tracks
Doctors trying to make me right
And as long as youre around
Ive no strength left to fight
Mirror you dont get it
You look just as I am
Formed around the edges
And hung before one...
It's edges form to square cut brass
Reflective mind, neglected glass
Mirror shows exactly how I stand
Other eyes see different things
But mirror truly understands
Mirror wont make judgement calls,
Love nor make a mess
Mirror it is not your fault
All the pain they spread
Mirror Ive got tear tracks
Doctors trying to make me right
And as long as youre around
Ive no strength left to fight
Mirror you dont get it
You look just as I am
Formed around the edges
And hung before one...

Its just a ride
Life is just a ride
We all go our seperate ways
Sure our timings rarely right
And the end is not a certain date
But while we're here we're here to live it
One soul
Many choices
They're all your own
And whether you hesitate or fully give in
You know you can't go wrong
For life is just a ride
We all go our seperate ways
Sure our timings rarely right
And the end is not a certain date
But while we're here we're here to live it
One soul
Many choices
They're all your own
And whether you hesitate or fully give in
You know you can't go wrong
For life is just a ride

the second story
One step would let it slip away
Ignore the past and self decay
But if we die we're just that day
While all else moves on
Though life cannot be questioned we live with doubt
guess all the love we lived without
wasnt stored in our savings account
Now that we're all grown up
And I know its getting old,
All the stories we have to tell;
all the darkness that surrounds them
such things we wish we hadn't felt
Chorus
But now you're on the second story
I know for you made it here with me
I love you more and more...
Ignore the past and self decay
But if we die we're just that day
While all else moves on
Though life cannot be questioned we live with doubt
guess all the love we lived without
wasnt stored in our savings account
Now that we're all grown up
And I know its getting old,
All the stories we have to tell;
all the darkness that surrounds them
such things we wish we hadn't felt
Chorus
But now you're on the second story
I know for you made it here with me
I love you more and more...

Cigarette bliss
Please never try to take it away
Each breathe is a vocation
each leads me astray
With each exhale more colorful
Than the grey clouds array
My genuine love is a potion
Rolled up and smoked
And provoked with one flame
That's all it takes
I don't wish for drugs
But tobacco feels easy
held deep in my lungs
And I will do it again
The next chance I get
And for the rest of my days
More cigarette bliss
Each breathe is a vocation
each leads me astray
With each exhale more colorful
Than the grey clouds array
My genuine love is a potion
Rolled up and smoked
And provoked with one flame
That's all it takes
I don't wish for drugs
But tobacco feels easy
held deep in my lungs
And I will do it again
The next chance I get
And for the rest of my days
More cigarette bliss

lovesick lyricist
I used to be so pessimistic, you hated that
I didn't know which way to go
So I stuck to facts
I stuck to fa-acts
But it was too late
Too late when I realized what it was doing to us
And your frame of mind
It wasn't mine
Wasn't mine to destroy
So I'll write a little high
Write a little low
And maybe it'll help us to where we must go
We can take some of it off
Show a little skin
Get a little closer to what we were first in
Chorus
Cause we can build it all
With our four hands
We can do it all
For time is...
I didn't know which way to go
So I stuck to facts
I stuck to fa-acts
But it was too late
Too late when I realized what it was doing to us
And your frame of mind
It wasn't mine
Wasn't mine to destroy
So I'll write a little high
Write a little low
And maybe it'll help us to where we must go
We can take some of it off
Show a little skin
Get a little closer to what we were first in
Chorus
Cause we can build it all
With our four hands
We can do it all

Angel to admire
I wrote a song
It didn't make a sound
Instead it broke a heart
From there; word got around
And now it's stuck in all your heads
For in this moment love is dead
Is that really all my fault
Chorus
'Cause if I could choose the way it goes, you wouldn't know my name from hers
You lit a smile
That cigarette started a light
We smelt like burnt out fire
Still an angel to admire
But I didn't make a sound
As our hearts smoldered underground
Am I really what you want
'Cause if I could...
It didn't make a sound
Instead it broke a heart
From there; word got around
And now it's stuck in all your heads
For in this moment love is dead
Is that really all my fault
Chorus
'Cause if I could choose the way it goes, you wouldn't know my name from hers
You lit a smile
That cigarette started a light
We smelt like burnt out fire
Still an angel to admire
But I didn't make a sound
As our hearts smoldered underground
Am I really what you want
'Cause if I could...

Short song because why not?
It is never
too late
to start a war
I didn't know
this one
before
My broken bones just needed her
Chorus
But love is something that we shouldn't fight about
Oh love is something you need not go without
She's got buttons on her phone to make up words and back space doubt
you know this and she loves that
She said tomorrow
there was something she had on
She couldn't make time;
how I wish she'd take it off
For a second I'm regretting
That last night after the show
And she asked me ...
too late
to start a war
I didn't know

Chorus
But love is something that we shouldn't fight about
Oh love is something you need not go without

Individuality
Sometimes you walk like you haven't a way
the world can be so warped on an unexcited day
Blood's denser than water and you're skins softer than clay
We can not just stay statues, we must move with our attitudes
And sequences dramatic and depressed
Can be the reason you're less or better covered/snuggly dressed
I guess the wind will commit to making you shiver
But whether you should feel the cold some may beg to differ
Individuality, is in you and me,
Individuality can't be worn
Individuality may be...
the world can be so warped on an unexcited day
Blood's denser than water and you're skins softer than clay
We can not just stay statues, we must move with our attitudes
And sequences dramatic and depressed
Can be the reason you're less or better covered/snuggly dressed
I guess the wind will commit to making you shiver
But whether you should feel the cold some may beg to differ

You knew it was
Well say if it was
You'd call to say
That the wind was rough
You needed something;
but who you called it wasn't me
If yous get through the winter
It's meant to be
I'm not ashamed
To walk in the opposite direction
For you did the same to mine
And when you wake, you'll know you can't buy back that time
Chorus
We walk alone, against the world
so vulnerable
so undersold
And loneliness is the new sign
There'll be lesser light tomorrow
but the time before was...
You'd call to say
That the wind was rough
You needed something;
but who you called it wasn't me
If yous get through the winter
It's meant to be
I'm not ashamed
To walk in the opposite direction
For you did the same to mine
And when you wake, you'll know you can't buy back that time
Chorus
We walk alone, against the world
so vulnerable
so undersold
And loneliness is the new sign
There'll be lesser light tomorrow

Limbo
I wish I could see
The pain from the outside
And not have to get right in it
If I didn't have to live it
Then I would get to truly live
But would I really need to live at all?
The pain from the outside
And not have to get right in it
If I didn't have to live it
Then I would get to truly live
But would I really need to live at all?

How to spot an angel
It's not quite as simple
As the dimples on her shoulders
But the way her wings rise
with her arms froze, above her
In a tight fold
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin
That will never go away
And she loves you
Oh she...
As the dimples on her shoulders
But the way her wings rise
with her arms froze, above her
In a tight fold
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin
That will never go away
And she loves you
Oh she...
