All of the Color

I got you on my mind, my mind
When I need to clear the space for problems
Like how to spend my time in the gaps
And quicken up the pace for causes
I told you on the phone
Through the static hush
I’m sick of monochrome
And patterns that make the rush
I’m blinded from the fear
But only in your light
And I fall in love
All the time
But as for now
All of the color
Seems to disappear when you’re gone
I’m hanging up but I’m holding on
I’m putting off the best
And writing up the worst
Can’t get any rest
Without resolving first
I fumble through the haze
To get out of my head
Didn’t mean to say it
But I meant what I said
I need you now
Around me
More than you know
I’ll wean myself away
If you want to
But not before you go
But as for now
All of the color
Seems to disappear when you’re gone
I’m hanging up but I’m holding on
I’m holding on

Grainy Pictures

The distance plays tricks on your eyes
That little speck could be twice your size
It’s all there in the photograph
Height and width if you do the math
I had to turn the blur on to convey
The elusiveness of my prey
It’s all there in the photograph
Rarity if you do the math
Another anecdote
Will be the antidote
To your disbelief
They’re hiding behind our progresses
There’s too many things in excessive
When it’s all there in the photograph
Abundancy if you do the math
Another anecdote
Will be the antidote
To your disbelief

Proof
03:30
|

I’ve been staying up for hours
In the hopes to see your face
Reveling in all the power
That I’m dying to replace
I gotta walk more to explore now
And I’m trying to head off
From the flashbacks on the fore now
Did I age more than I thought
Well I’ve been looking for
Somebody’s proof
Could it be that wrong impression
That I first gave to you
While you’ve been looking for
My will to choose
I gotta stop with all the guessing
The exception shouldn’t lose
There’s truth created by a feeling
A hidden filter for the lens
Got the snapshot, it’s got me reeling
As if you could own a friend
Said you’d always be my lover
A half truth rounds down to a lie
Always going under cover
Just to smash our alibis
Well I’ve been looking for
Somebody’s proof
Could it be that wrong impression
That I first gave to you
While you’ve been looking for
My will to choose
I gotta stop with all the guessing
The exception shouldn’t lose

Under Foot
03:03
|

You are with me wherever I go, I go
And yet I still treat you like a piece of dirt
And though it’s justified
I know that it might hurt
And I’ll go and cut down whatever you grow, you grow
Yeah I demand that you change your face
And in your solitude
Litter all over the place
And no matter what you do
I will always walk all over you
You will catch me whenever I fall, I fall
You’re the reason for the bruises on my knees
When I tried to hard
To force company
And you’ve been with me since I learned to crawl, to crawl
I looked down on you before I knew how to see
I think of escaping you
In all of my dreams
And no matter what you do
I will always walk all over you
But you will be above me in the end
Piled up upon where I lay my head

Where Were You?
02:34
|

Well ain’t nobody wanna be my friend
Nobody wanna be my babe
I’m driving down this road again
And nobody is coming my way
I think I might be a different breed
And I sweat I ain’t gonna lie
I’d never stray
But yesterday
I lost track of the night
Now poor Lucille
She couldn’t deal
She trashed and she wrecked my place
I feel this pain
As the moon wanes
It reminds me of her face
When she screamed as she looked at me
And asked me where I’d been
I couldn’t say
So she picked away
A hair from my clothing
Well ain’t nobody wanna be my friend
Nobody wanna be my babe
I have to wonder when this will end
All the thoughts that I betray
‘Cause this has happened twice before
And I just don’t know why
An urge ignites
When it is night
And the full moon’s in the sky

Curiosity
03:52
|

I saw the face
You left behind
Let me know that
Before our time
You left your place
And came over
Gave us our shapes
Four leaf clovers
The temple towers
The ancient runes
In rain forest
And desert dunes
Gave us a path
To outer space
Where one day we
Would find that face
Ever darkening skies;
The sun, it brings me to life.
But who’s this I don’t know?
Are you friend or foe?
If you’d open up
It’s so obvious
You don’t need cited proof when you’ve got your mind
Look at the silos
Lights and the shadows
All the order in chaos that we can find
What do you want from us?
Where did you come from?
And where did you go?
Are you a friend or foe?
If you’d open up
It’s so obvious
You don’t need sighted proof when you’ve got your mind
Look at the silos
Lights and the shadows
All the order in chaos that we can find
And one starry night
I knew I was right
I just needed to open up my third eye
Look at the silos
Lights and the shadows
All the order in chaos that we can find

Petals
03:25

I thought this was amicable.
I think I may have loved you.
Did you ever love me too?
The other night,
I dreamt that I called you
But it wasn’t reality.
I haven’t slept in days,
Because when I close my eyes I see your face.
Picking petals on a daisy,
You said I was too lazy
To catch you falling for me.
Picking petals on a daisy.
Picking petals on a daisy,
You said I was too lazy
To catch you falling for me.

I Don't Deserve You
04:40
|

She’s just not the one
When she is gone
She’s the only one I want
She gives me everything
She asks for nothing in return
She’s won’t be my little girl
I should make things right
Don’t wanna have another fight
I need to set her free
It’s simple can’t you see
Her love and affection
Is wasted on me
I know it’s not fair
I know I should care
You know I’ve been there
I’ve walked in your shoes
Just let me explain
I’ve nothing to gain
From causing you pain
You know that it’s true
I don’t deserve you
Enough is enough
I’m packing up my stuff
Let’s end this routine
Of acting so mean
I wish that I could
Spare her feelings
But life isn’t full
Of easy dealings
I know it’s not fair
I know I should care
You know I’ve been there
I’ve walked in your shoes
Just let me explain
I’ve nothing to gain
From causing you pain
You know that it’s true
I don’t deserve you

Hydrangeas
04:26
|

I brought you flowers that matched your eyes,
Blue hydrangeas from the corner store.
You looked at me and said well aren’t they nice,
Brought me in to trim the stems.
Your dog jumped up and caught me by surprise,
I was so scared that I dropped the knife.
Red, white, and blue on the fourth of July,
I looked at you and said now don’t you cry.
Waiting in the emergency room,
I got dizzy and said to you
This is what happiness feels like my love.
You are what I have always dreamt of.
Someone to hold and to keep you from harm,
Someone to hold and to keep so warm.
Later that night we laid on the floor,
Listened to fireworks on the fourth.
You pulled me close and said to me,
Darling oh sweetie
This is what happiness feels like my love.
You are what I have always dreamt of.
Someone to hold and to keep you from harm,
Someone to hold and to keep so warm.

The Love I've Learned
05:37
|
|||
I remember lying in my bed
Wishing I could will myself to be dead
Separate connection of brain and heart
Choose my own way to fall apart
Get back some feeling of control
Looks like an accident to save my soul
Avoid the selfish look of suicide
Keep my reputation alive
And though it’s just a memory
I keep what becomes a part of me
Benchmark the lowest that I could find
How far to fall from these highs
And when that feeling is coming again
Moreso a wonderance on the whispering wind
When I am breathless I fear a return
But most ignored by the love I’ve learned
Oh what am I to you
Can you see what I do
To help forgive and help forget
The thoughts I leave behind
When they’ll go
I don’t know
It’s hard to look ahead
When the past is on your mind
You can always regret
What you were hoping to find
That I can’t let go and I can’t hold on
I’m stuck somewhere between
When I know
I know
It’s not you
That belongs to me
What to do
Now we’re through?
But I know
I know
I’ll be alright
