Promise is Breaking
04:45
|
|||
She was all I ever wanted
Little dress and oh so mean
I felt certainty that this would go my way
Then I told her that i didn’t mean a single word
Suggesting a compromise
I’m not surprised
I gave the wrong impression
You must have mistaken
I don’t give apologies
If promise is breaking
Then that doesn’t bother me
In this situation
You’re asking for guarantees
This promise is breaking
And that doesn’t bother me
I was all she ever flaunted
Nothing mattered because she had me
I felt guilty knowing it would end someday
When i told her I was falling in love but not with her
I think she snapped and cried
And asked if I lied
Well what a stupid question
You must have mistaken
I don’t give apologies
If promise is breaking
Then that doesn’t bother me
In this situation
You’re asking for guarantees
This promise is breaking
And that doesn’t bother me

Believe
03:32
|

If you’re feeling ordinary
But like to feel avant garde
Just concentrate on the celestial bodies
And try to reach for a star
Ask and you shall receive
What does it take to believe?
Sometimes i’m misunderstood
I tried to tell them the truth
And like they said it’s no use
And how do you know if they’re good?
I said you’ve got to believe
And i can tell you some things
That you can’t imagine
I said you’ve got to believe
And i can paint you a scene
Can’t prove that it ever happened
I can’t help feeling secondary
I’ve talked to birds in the yard
Stayed awake sometimes in moderation
When have i carried this too far?
Am I awake or asleep
How many secrets do I keep?
When I collapse in my bed
They’d like to think i’m on dope
And pass it off as a joke
Or something’s wrong with my head
I said you’ve got to believe
And i can tell you some things
That you can’t imagine
I said you’ve got to believe
And i can paint you a scene
Can’t prove that it ever happened

Can You Blame Me?
03:51
|
|||
I open my head
And you come in
I open my bed to every carnal sin
You’ve opened up your mouth
When you’re not sure
And all my friends become my jurors
I’ve learned my lesson
And i’m beginning to wonder
If I even care at all
I take suppression
And get used to the fact
That everyone wants me to fall
Well how can you blame me
If I don’t answer the phone
All these rumors keep spreading ‘round
How can you blame me
Just leave me alone
All this talk is aim to put me down
Well how can you blame me
If I don’t answer the phone
All these rumors keep spreading ‘round
How can you blame me
Why can’t you leave me alone
All this talk is aim to put me down
I open my mind
And you don’t bend
I open my heart to every pseudo-friend
You’ve opened up your mouth
To the so-called pure
And I’m in question more and more
I keep my distance
And the further I get
I always have to make amends
I take repentance
And I’m beginning to wonder
If this drama ever ends
Well how can you blame me
If I don’t answer the phone
All these rumors keep spreading ‘round
How can you blame me
Just leave me alone
All this talk is aim to put me down
Well how can you blame me
If I don’t answer the phone
All these rumors keep spreading ‘round
How can you blame me
Why can’t you leave me alone
All this talk is aim to put me down down down

To Save Me
05:07
|
|||
Countless entries in your diary
Mark the truth of your every insecurity
An open discussion for each page
All the writings on the porch swing
Formulated to the edge of your mouth
A poetic passage simply read
Some people change
Don’t bother changing to save me
Do you think that crying will move me
It’s always the same
So don’t bother changing to save me
How the thought dries on the paper
I have learned somehow to read between the lines
Without analyzing every phrase
Now you’re pensive as your mood swings
So uncertain of your inability
To translate a passage into words
Some people change
Don’t bother changing to save me
Do you think that crying will move me
It’s always the same
So don’t bother changing to save me
I close the book you close your eyes
I thought you’d never see me cry
Countless entries in your diary
Mark the truth of your every insecurity
A poetic passage simply read
Some people change
Don’t bother changing to save me
Do you think that crying will move me
It’s always the same
So don’t bother changing to save me
Some people change
Do you think that crying will move me
It’s always the same
So don’t bother changing to save me

Panorama

This portrait of me
In a panorama view
Of the people around me
Picturesque in harmony
Reminding me
I cannot consciously connect
To the ones I want
And looking back I still believe
They surround me
Within the picture
We’re growing older
It goes on in panorama
By implication
The color is faded
It goes on in panorama
I never wanted to confuse
Passing time
With my state of mind
Suddenly things i viewed as odd
Meant so much when holding on
I could not envy or admit
To cover up the truth
And in a shoebox memory
They surround me
Within the picture
We’re growing older
It goes on in panorama
By implication
The color is faded
It goes on in panorama
This portrait of me
In a panorama view
Of the people around me
Something keeps reminding me
Blinding me
I can’t explain the way I feel
So I hide the pain
Now looking back I still believe
They surround me
Within the picture
We’re growing older
It goes on in panorama
By implication
The color is faded
It goes on in panorama
Though I
I still believe
(reminding me)
Though I
I still believe
(reminding me)
Though I
I still believe
(reminding me)
Though I
I still believe
(reminding me)

Words (Go Away)
04:38
|

Go away
Go away
It’s only the words you say
Hey, hey
Go away
It’s only the words you say
What did you say?
I thought I heard
Something close to a whisper
When you get this way
It digs at my nerves
It brings you happiness to see me hurt
So, you speak your mind
Is that so absurd?
Well I guess it’s just your choice of words
Go away
Go away
It’s only the words you say
Hey, hey
Go away
It’s only the words you say
Ooh, it’s so confusing this way
In the book of love
I might be missing a page
You’re calm and blasé
When it comes my turn
And still remain detached behind your words
I surrender, whatever you say
My sense of hesitation goes away
I’m lost for words
Can’t think what to say
So, here’s my little serenade

Exposure
06:23
|
|||
I
I like the looks of you
And I
Am not afraid of a little exposure
You can find me everywhere
Dancing in the streets with Fred Astaire
Cause you
You’ve got to give me just a little exposure
I don’t like to kiss and tell
The looks you give they cast the spell
And I’m not one for quantity
The school of angels come for me
Smiles
Never go out of style
And looks
Can be the thing
That bring us that much more closer
I don’t want no beauty queen
The temptation is close to me
Cause you
You’ve got to give me just a little exposure
You have punctured my steel shell
The things you’ll do they come from hell
Maybe you have got the quality
If you don’t think so
Then wait you’ll see
I don’t like to kiss and tell
The looks you give they cast the spell
And I’m not one for quantity
The school of angels come for me
I don’t like to kiss and tell
The looks you give they cast the spell
And I’m not one for quantity

Familiar Territory
04:15
|
|||
I believe it’s only a matter of time
Before I walk or maybe drive
When i’m out of this town
It will be alright
I just can’t stay anymore
Cause i feel intimidation
Until my feet are walking
In Familiar Territory
I can see I wasting all my time
In bad straights and not a paradise
I figured it out somehow
I nearly hammered it out of my brain
It convinced me of the need to breath
Well have i taken this place for granted
Somehow I doubt it
Cause living with it
Would put me in control again
Cause i feel intimidation
Until my feet are walking
In Familiar Territory
I am here
I am here
I am here
Is my self-esteem within my mind
Or is it a thought I left behind
I’ve gotta get out somehow
I feel like taking a ride on a plane
And insisting
Of the need to leave
Well i don’t need this complication
With this aggravation
I need a vacation
To put me in control again
Cause i feel intimidation
Until my feet are walking
In Familiar Territory
