All of the Above

Tonight is the night of All the above,
Where satan cries just one last time and the good Lord comes,
It’s the insanity of the gravity that holds our love,
& All of the above
The man in my head he won’t stop, won’t stop,
He keeps talking and he won’t stop, won’t stop,
He tells me things that I just don’t think are right,
He goes on and on, day & night, an enemy, I cannot fight,
Cotton candy dancing in the moonlight all night,
All candy trees get away I just might, might bite,
I wanna see your tree veins and blood all over my face,
And that’ll be the case of the scene of the crime,
Where the murder went down,
Tonight is the night of All the above,
Where satan cries just one last time and the good Lord comes,
It’s the insanity of the gravity that holds our love,
& All of the above
Froggy in my head it goes hip hop, hip hop,
Froggy in my head he just, won’t stop, won’t stop,
Purple skies fly my kite, so high, super fly,
Purple skies late at night, fill my tummy with delight,
Tonight is the night of All the above,
Where satan cries just one last time and the good Lord comes,
It’s the insanity of the gravity that holds our love,
& All of the above

You got your coat and you’ve got your shoes,
bout to runaway like always do,
I wish you’d stay just one more night,
Why can’t we ever have anything nice,
You Run Run Runaway, All you do is runway
why can’t you stay one more day, one more day
You Run Run Runaway, All you do is runway
why can’t you stay one more day, won’t you stay?
You’re moving out and you’re moving up,
Bout to runaway and give up
I wish you’d stay, stay for me,
You always hang your head and leave cowardly,
You Run Run Runaway, All you do is runway
why can’t you stay one more day, one more day
You Run Run Runaway, All you do is runway
why can’t you stay one more day, won’t you stay?

Sad Tale of Joseph Corey
03:33
|
|||
|
He went on his merry way,
nothing could stop him today,
Ducked under a ladder
then a few moments later broke a mirror,
Then a cat crossed his path
He was the luckiest unlucky man,
After it all he could no longer stand,
His fortunate unfortunate fall
In the end of the end he lost it all,
He didn’t fall under the world,
Found himself the most beautiful girl
Won the jack got them some money
So much wealth it wasn’t even funny
What do you do when you can’t even sing the blues?
He was the luckiest unlucky man,
After it all he could no longer stand,
His fortunate unfortunate fall
In the end of the end he lost it all,
You’re a poor man’s son and that’s all you’ll ever be,
You’re baby is as ugly as she is pretty,
One day he couldn’t handle all the strife,
So he grabbed a gun and took his own life,
So What am I saying in all of these verses?
Blessings come in disguise and so do curses

Turn out the lights its time for bed,the night will help I know,
but kayla you got to rest and know that tomorrow
you’ll wishing you had slept because as soon as your alone
The room, comes alive and you think you should scared,
but baby the closet door and the dusty floor,
under your bed is just the beginning, of being alone,
in the dark.
Pull up covers, tie my feet the moon is full I know,
but Kayla you’ve got to d what you’ve got to do, if you want live,
if want to live through the night
The room, comes alive and you think you should scared,
but baby the closet door and the dusty floor,
under your bed is just the beginning, of being alone,
in the dark.
The room, comes alive and you think you should scared,
but baby the closet door and the dusty floor,
under your bed is just the beginning, of being alone,
in the dark.

(whatever happened to carpet on the walls?)
Red lips, Eyes lined, Dress tight, Hair just right,
Nails painted, legs shaven,
All you other girls better stay home tonight!
Don’t even try,
She’s got all that class, and a matter a fact,
and that smile make everything worthwhile
She’s a true believer, in all that magic
She’s a true believer, in all that magic
Blue eyes, so wide, some day she’ll make the perfect bride,
legs so long, hair so blonde,
All you other girls better stay home tonight
Don’t even try,
She’s got all that class, and a matter a fact,
and that smile make everything worthwhile
She’s a true believer, in all that magic
She’s a true believer, in all that magic

The Snare
03:46
|

There’s something wrong with daddy, he’s got a hole in his heart,
Could’ve been a better man if it wasn’t for his start,
He’s gonna do things that say ‘I don’t love you’
But in time will tell you’ll see that it isn’t true
You said that, You promised, it wouldn’t happen again,
You said that, You promised, that this time wouldn’t be like the others,
That this time wouldn’t be like the others,
Like an animal caught in a snare,
He may pull and tug but he’s not going anywhere.
These bruises are only the badges of my pride
Reminders of the progress that isn’t in their eyes,
Resentment is only for those poor chosen few,
and in the end you’ll realize that there’s nothing you could do,
You said that, You promised, it wouldn’t happen again,
You said that, You promised, that this time wouldn’t be like the others,
That this time wouldn’t be like the others,
Like an animal caught in a snare,
He may pull and tug but he’s not going anywhere.
How can a God let something like this happen?
but Jesus is no stranger, to suffering while innocent
You said that, You promised, it wouldn’t happen again,
You said that, You promised, that this time wouldn’t be like the others,
That this time wouldn’t be like the others,
Like an animal caught in a snare,
He may pull and tug but he’s not going anywhere.

Midnight Blues

i’ve got the midnight blues,
can’t stop thinking about you,
your eyes they shine shine at night,
but you went and you went and turned out the lights
throw a dagger, in my heart
and just tear my life apart
how you’d get so good at that?
cause you lie so well, cause you lie so well
they tried to warn me to stand my ground
don’t go caving in
i didn’t listen, i never do,
now i’m not over,
throw a dagger, in my heart
and just tear my life apart
how you’d get so good at that?
cause you lie so well, cause you lie so well
They tried to warn me, They tried to warn me,
they said stay away from you,
I didn’t listen, now I’m broken,
Now I’m not over you,
now I’m not over you
throw a dagger, in my heart
and just tear my life apart
how you’d get so good at that?
cause you lie so well, cause you lie so well, cause you lie so well

Windchimes

I’ve got a proposition
To find out what is missing
My fingers keep on slipping
But I haven’t hit the ground
No I haven’t hit the ground
My mind is screaming trouble
I’m digging through this rubble
I’ll try to be more subtle
I won’t make a sound
I won’t make a sound
As these clouds keep Marching on
My weary legs are standing strong
Standing still in the middle of a thunderstorm
Foundations cracking
Move slow, back tracking
My grip is slacking
I don’t know how
The tick tock is mocking
Heart rate slowly dropping
My mind is blocking
Times up now I won’t make a sound
As these clouds keep Marching on
My weary legs are standing strong
Standing still in the middle of a thunderstorm

Liar Liar

So you haven’t always been telling the truth,
but you seem to think that you always do,
Its not that your lying to me or somebody else,
Its that, all your little lies are only lies to yourself,
Liar Liar, Pants on fire, Your lies only feed your desire
to be the man you could never be,
As long as you lie to make yourself happy,
So you really think that your something special,
You really think that your the king of the world,
Liar Liar
You shouldn’t lie to yourself anymore,
I know that deep down, You’re really hurting inside,
Protecting yourself when you steal, cheat and lie
Put on your suit & tie & lie, lie, lie,
King of the world
So you really think that your something special?
You really think that your the king of the world?
Liar Liar
you haven’t always been telling the truth,
but you seem to think that you always do,
Its not that your lying to me or somebody else,
Its that, all your little lies are only lies to yourself,
Come on? King of the world!
So you really think that your something special?
You really think that your the king of the world?
Liar Liar

My Apology
03:15
|
|||
|
Its a cold restless night, love letters in my heart
if I stay or walk away, I still fall apart
its time to take a stand, finally my chance to let go of your hand
there once was a time for us, where we used to place our trust
where mother really mattered, where our thoughts were always scattered
now need some time for me but before I go, heres my apology
streets are covered with snow but stars still seem to glow
breathe in, breathe out,
not a chance for any doubt, back on the road, who knows where it goes?
there once was a time for us, where we used to place our trust
where mother really mattered, where our thoughts were always scattered
now need some time for me but before I go, heres my apology

Judgement Day

|
Yesterday is, in the past
Said I wanted more you gave me less,
I don’t believe you anymore,
Now you’ve got to watch me walk out the door
You think you’re always right
& Your always gonna win the fight
You think you’re always right
& You’re never gonna pay the price
Darling believe me when I say,
You’re gonna get your Judgement Day
You keep on talking, spinning me lies
Oh, now you gotta watch me say goodbye,
I don’t believe you anymore,
Now you’ve got to watch me walk out the door
You think you’re always right
& Your always gonna win the fight
You think you’re always right
& You’re never gonna pay the price
Darling believe me when I say,
You’re gonna get your Judgement Day
Yes you will, you will,
Yes you will, you will,
Just wait your turn
oh you will, you will,
Yes you will, you will,
Maybe then you’ll learn!
Yes you will, you will,
Yes you will, you will,
