"Do you think that was the right thing to do?"
"What?"
"Well do you think I should have told her the truth or should I just have been polite and spared her feelings?"
"umm"
"Are you even listening to me?"

Mother's Watch
03:11
|
|||
Ooo ooo
I had a woman that I thought I'd never find
I wanna call my mother, see if she's alright and lie, say I'm doing good
I think about it in the morning, every day
Without a mother's watch, you're bound to lose your place
Get lost, get afraid
I fantasize about the woman that I left
I gave her everything I couldn't give myself
So sad, so alone
I wanna be the man my father never would
I can't give up on this but God, I wish I could relax a bit and enjoy myself
Ooo ooo
'Cause I am feeling just so sad, and missing everything I had Is this as good as it will get
I'm lost and feeling just so down
And fearing everything won't turn out
My health's in question
Ooo ooo Ooo ooo Yeah
I feel behind in everything I've never done
So broken up, I can't connect to anyone
I'm stuck, I don't like it here no
I've never known my nails to be their proper length I've lost my confidence and haven't found the strength I'm baked and I'm so alone
Ooo
(Did you like what was in my head) Ooo ahhh
Ooo
(Did you like what was in my head) Ooo ahhh
Ooo
(Did you like what was in my head) Ooo
Ooo
(Did you like what was in my head) Ooo

Luke
04:59
|

(1, 2, 3, 4)
As dinner's dull, my heart's hit a lull and it dawns on me
How much I've lost, without any mother's watch, I'd sure be gone And as I wept, I'm reminded of the friend
Could I forget
As grief would last, I'd count on the bigger man, my biggest fan
'Cause my God we've seen just such terrible things we can't forget
Our strength was tested
We stood by the window and watched as our childhood quickly ended
Should I lose my brother Luke
Should I lose my brother Luke
Shit Gunner's up
Run quick, drink a cola as father's waiting for us
All questions asked, time winked as we watched it pass in every laugh hmm
I owe it all to the greasy-haired, shirtless drumming fool
What I would do hmm
I'd give my life and by our mother's side watch over you
Should I lose my brother Luke
Should I lose my brother Luke
Life would have no meaning
Forecasting his leaving
I'd mourn, end every pursuit
Here I am non-present
My hero's calling to greet him and stay at his side
Should I lose my brother Luke
Should I lose my brother Luke
Ahh uhh
Should I lose my brother Luke
Should I lose

Day to Face
01:58
|
|||
And I don't like a thing about her
It's all an act I've grown to obey
I'm not proud of it, as it changes day to face
Can you offer your embrace
All I want's to wake on a body
Regardless if we share such common tastes I'm the average man, its consistency is strange
Can you offer your embrace to me
And I'll confess to it, although I'm ashamed, it's apparent hmm
I've spent every day disturbed by the loss of my parent
So if you choose to play on my heartstrings
In time you'll know you've made a mistake
I can't manage my honest touch of my embrace
Don't forgive my selfish ways

Beds
01:54
|
|||
I find myself naked and hoping
I'll find myself next to a chest
Seems that I thrive on disappointment
While my friends are kissing in their beds
As the night comes in and the party's done, am I important When I'm this drunk, it's sure hard to know
And hours pass quick into moments alone
Yeah
Oh the night drags on for this city flirt, you wouldn't notice Still you'll find my guess as good as yours
Why I would wait for love exchanging
When they've got none leftover

Father Figure
04:49
|

Damn, these people ask for too much Damn, these people ask for too
Your selfish wants don't fit me mmm
Wish they would for your sake
But I'd cheat myself
Your love of things don't suit me, no sir
Mind yourself and your place
I'm fine, hair looks good ooo
What's your plan Dan
Run
Go
Ahh ooo ooo
Ahh

What You Tell Yourself
03:58
|
|||
Well I've been closed off and bummed for months
And held cold hands with folks I don't talk to much
Then I got invited by some friend
In some big room, with people that I don't know yet
I was scared and hesitant at first
I walked in, saw your face and that made it worse
But your charm began to cool me down
I love you, wanna know ya, but I'm heading out
Could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I "deserve" her
What a shame it is to let you by
You'd think that feeling's numb, it happens all the time
Ooo yeah
Ooo
Could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I "deserve" her
'Cause it's a cruel state
State of mind
It's a tactic that I formed myself
To safely close me off and defend myself
And it works sometimes, to stay removed
But hurts most times, to touch and never introduce
Yeah could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I just "deserve" her
Ooo

Gate
03:56
|
|||
My mother kissed my father much
But still, she'd give me one that I could save
I kept its warmth until my lunch, to get me through the day as I needed ooo
And my mother had an angel voice
It rings through every pew still in St. James'
An alto song to fill the void and cure a boy in pain as he listened
Nothing's changed, I'm older but I'm just as lost
'Cause I'm still the altar boy that ran your way
To embrace your gown and pray that you wouldn't leave me
Such love I felt when looked upon
By love itself could make my father cry
Your small, but treasured gift from God
And with your husband's eyes, feels he's missing
Oo yes he does, yes he does oo
God it's strange to wander and to wonder thee
Will my mother be the one met at the gate
Is it fate I'm so afraid that I won't make it
And my mother kissed my brother much
But still, she'd leave me one that I could save
I've kept a pocket empty since
To get me through the day
'Cause I need it

Interlude (For Leavers)
02:14
|
|||
And I'll get extremely invested
And so will they
And then for maybe 4-5 months (okay)
Which I guess is kinda like the honeymoon phase
I just keep having these anxieties
And then, it gets so unbearable that I end the relationship (okay) And this has happened to me like, so many times
And like it's.. it's bad, it's really bad and
And yeah, like I don't know what that's about
I just like, I, I just get bored of people or something
And (okay) I feel guilty for not being, ya know
Deeply in love with them or something
And I panic and I'm like I gotta get outta this because this is too Because this is making me really anxious
And like I've never been broken up with before
(Okay so you, you're the leaver, you kinda cut the cord) Every time
Ahhh ooo ahhh
It's terrible
It's really really bad like I never want to hurt anybody But I have, I've hurt a lot of people because I've, (okay) I just couldn't handle it

Anyone
04:31
|
|||
Hey, now that it's done
You've given up on something precious
Gave into the one
But now you've got none and think you're selfish
So, what's there to do
But try to let loose and seek your earnings
Go back where there's room
To make some excuse and prove your wording
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ahh
So get it somewhere soon
Whatever gets you through, do
It's getting late to choose
Anyone, anyone, anyone
And I don't want your love
Well maybe just a touch or two
'Cause I don't hurt like you or anyone, anyone, anyone
Thought things wouldn't clear
The week lead you here to buzz your image
Bought into the fear
That if you're still here at thirty, kill it
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ahh
So get it somewhere soon
Whatever gets you through, do
An invitation's due for anyone, anyone, anyone
And I don't want your love
Well maybe just a touch or two
I've got no strength to lose anyone, anyone, anyone
Mmm
And I deserve some fun for once
Even if it hurts too much
I'm rambling as if someone was watching
I judge by people's sense of fair
In more than recent lust affairs
The truth is that my heart is scared of losing someone
Like my mother again
So get it somewhere soon
Whatever gets you through, do
It's getting late to choose anyone, anyone, anyone
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone

Oh Betty/Cheated
03:36
|
|||
Oh Betty what's the use
I guarantee I've heard worse news
And that's unfair to me
Two brothers grew up quick
Find all I write's sad trauma shit
My themes are overdone
It's just how I got on
Obsessions grew out of the loss
And needs to go impress
Couldn't be present then
Got busy watching my old man
To learn that he's just lonely
So hold me now Betty
Can't quite relax til I've
Made someone proud that's still alive
It's easier said than done
Hope my old drawings come
Just half as true when things pick up
'Cause no one seems this restless
I'm helpless oh Betty, but happy that you came
Could you stay
And it's scary oh Betty, to think as much as me
I'm in need
But you didn't ask for this
Thought things would end after a kiss
But that's not why you're here
See I've just lost my way
Still hope to hear my father say
My work has any meaning
And I'm grieving still Betty and needed this tonight Is it right
I'd call that cheated, even abused
All that he needed, he will search in you

And Hannah's on my mind
I think about her naked
I'll try and be polite
We both know that I'm faking
Every time that I try, I'm convinced today's
The day that someone will fulfill the craving
The daily plan
And Julia's alright
I think I'll maybe make it
Romanticize my night
Only if she takes the bait yeah uh huh
Every time that I try to convince a face
That I'm enough, I hope it feels the same
I know it won't
So tonight, I guess that's it for me
No chance of company
So tonight, (ooo)
I guess I'm by myself (ooo)
Again I must suppress ooo
And Beth was once a friend
I wonder what she'd say if
I told her I'm in bed
Well at least I was courageous (la la)
Every time that I try to convince myself
That I've moved on, I can't convince myself
It's clear to me
So tonight, (ooo)
I can't commit to them (ooo)
Not if my heart won't mend
So tonight, (ooo)
I feel a deep regret (ooo)
I sure do hate myself ooo
I know that I, that I know better
Maybe in time, (maybe) I will forget her (I won't)
I'm not alright, (but I should) let's get together
Oo yeah
So tonight, (ooo)
I hope you're doing well (ooo)
Wish I could love myself like I loved you yeah

And honestly, that felt no good at all
I tend to dream, but find the meetings dull
And I knew that I'd be helpless all along
Pornography, you don't know who I am
Yet still, you seem to treat me like a friend
After all, you seem to know my troubles best
I felt no other option
I saw no other choice
And I think that I hear my mother's voice
And honestly, I don't know what
I want It seems to be the hardest thing to solve
I suppose I ought to give my brother a call
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
I will not leave myself
