Dreaming This Morning
We’re all alone
In this pale orange glow
I see a single star
Go wash your feet
In the pools of rain
What made you come this far?
[Chorus:
And I can’t block
The scream of your silence
Like my phone’s desperate ring
Now please forget
This last year’s tears
And listen to me sing:
Don’t dare believe that you don’t mean this much
Cuz I burn myself when I miss your touch
So let me say what I’m dying to prove:
I’m trying to fix my life with you]
Don’t try to lie
Baby, I won’t buy it
Cuz everything’s how it seems
Please come with me
Let me take your hand
Let’s walk back through our memories
[Chorus]
We’re all alone
In this pale orange glow
I see a single star
Please come with me
Let me take your hand
We’ve already come this far
37 Desperate Measures
I’ve given up on getting back
My CDs, myself,
the things I let you use
I took your clothes to box them up
After cutting them to
Shreds I’ll send them back to you
chorus:
I'm gonna prove to you I'm not this desperate
I'm gonna prove to you I'm not this desperate
you said "hate, break, take me slowly"
you're a jester and I'm a joke
I hope your stories trip your tongue and
clog your throat, I hope you choke
ask for me, I won't be there,
so hang yourself
with the cord off the phone
I'll deny you all the things you'll miss
and lie: I never almost call
you when I feel alone
[chorus]
[bridge - instrumental only]
ask for me, I won't be there,
so hang yourself
with the cord off the phone
I'll deny you all the things you'll miss
and lie: I never almost call
you when I feel alone
Girl Overboard Just Offshore of Downtown L.A.
“Just get me something for the pain,” you scream
“An antidote to feeling boring
I need a pill to craze me up at night
And one to knock me out come morning”
Well aren’t you the poster-girl for pitiful
lifeboat sinking faster than your ship
Honey, you’re the year’s greatest tragedy
Bailing with a bottle while the water’s
Rushing in…
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you…
So take a deep gasp of ocean water
Fill your lungs with the lust for your slaughter
Did you tie the noose around your neck?
Do you fear the slow approaching end?
And don’t you hate yourself self-righteously
You’re a sit-dram re-run every night at 3
Your hair, your eyes, your broken heart over endless boys,
You hate them loud enough to make ears bleed
So sing all the tragic melodies
They paint a perfect portrait of your pain
Well we’ve all been in this car wreck
But you’re the only one who isn’t trying
To escape…
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you…
So take a deep gasp of ocean water
Fill your lungs with the lust for your slaughter
Honey did you tie the noose around your neck?
Honey do you fear the slow approaching end?
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
(All you are is just what people call you)
Truth is I wouldn’t drown to save you
(You are the girl who - fill in the blank)
And somewhere off the shores
Of Los Angeles
Girl thinks she wants to drown
She’s in over her head
And the saddest part of all
She’s lost inside pretend
So sing all the tragic melodies
They paint a perfect portrait of your pain
Well we’ve all been in this car wreck
But you’re the only one who isn’t trying to escape
Lie You to Sleep
Baby I’m this year’s contagious disaster
Sleeping here and sneaking there
“She’s got wide eyes and a winning smile”
Kiss me, we’ll be less lonely for a while
Chorus:
Give up on me, I’m bad news and a dirty habit
Yeah I’m bad news and this song just rhymes about it
Hanging fiberglass moons in film set skies
To lie you to sleep at night
Singing could this be my “as seen on TV”
Hollywood happy-ending life
You know what it’s like to be hated
But honey I’m a touch overrated
So abandon every false pretense
These verses are the only things in my defense
Chorus
It’s the truth or a lie by omission
“I need you like a sick addiction”
Would you still believe if there were someone else? Or
Your name was on my lips when moans came pouring out?
Give up on me, I’m bad news and a dirty habit
I’m bad news and this song just rhymes about it
We’re all alone
In this pale orange glow
I see a single star
Go wash your feet
In the pools of rain
What made you come this far?
[Chorus:
And I can’t block
The scream of your silence
Like my phone’s desperate ring
Now please forget
