Understand, Compromise

Hey, Hey Listen up
You know it’s been too long…
Here at dawn you rise to sleep me sleeping on your floor
While the waves off shore are sweeping us farther away
Because Gravity has got your feet
When picking up your pieces remember to tidy up
And clean up your mess
Progress, your life’s a mess…
You know you gotta understand this compromise
Cause’ the circle still holds true
While aging beauty makes us wise
And Scream out, “deep dark blue.”
You know you gotta understand
The things that you’ve done wrong…
Back when things went well,
When you you’d write without conviction.
Head to head, running with the wind,
Oh blue eyes, blind my sin.
While the Rogger Gry’s in other mind, there’s no light behind the door.
All my friends here know I’ve tried, but somehow they want more from me.
How could they possibly want more from me when all I’ve given has been
Given out for free.
Understand this compromise, the circle still holds true
While aging beauty makes us wise, and scream out, ”deep dark blue.”
You know you gotta understand this Compromise
Cause’ the circle still hold true
While aging beauty makes us wise
And Scream out, “deep dark blue.”
Well, this doesn’t matter anymore because the past tense resonates
1000 times, it’s sad but sure, “I can’t stand here without you.”
And “My heart is on your floor.”
So please remove your grip from me as I blindly find my way
Out of your door, cause all I know…

Meant For More

Why do you hide yourself from the world?
There’s a lot for you out there my girl.
You’re so beautiful and talented
And anyone who denies this isn’t worth a shit
Of your precious time here on Earth.
But you wake to feel pain in your chest.
Your mind is hazy, eyes blood red
Why don’t you just go back to bed?
Maybe this new day comes to bring unknown
Maybe time can bring crowns to your throne.
Either way I will try.
And all I know,
Is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old
And all I see as far as difference goes between you and me,
Is that I will try
Why do you hide yourself from the world?
There’s a lot out there for you my girl.
Is there something on you mind?
Are you done with this space and time?
Is there something we all should know?
Is it simply your time to go?
Maybe this new day comes to bring unknown,
Maybe time can bring crowns to you throne/
All I know,
Is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old,
The difference between you and me is our willingness to see
That Life’s not so bad.
All I know, is that you wanted so much more,
Than this life could provide
So you took matters into in your own hands
And decided to fly.
All I know, is that you’re meant for so much more,
Than all thee rising tides.
So you took what’s rightfully yours,
And simply kissed this Life goodbye.
I’ve kissed my love goodbye.
All I know is that we’ve got a lot of growing to be old.

Why I'm Leaving
03:23
|

There were so many feelings,
They were all hidden in vain.
And all the jealousy, between you and me.
Must mean your were entertained.
If I could fly away
I know my winds would change
If I could fly away
I know I would change
There was so much concealing, between you and me.
And for me this clears away the pain.
And you have the audacity to wonder why I’m leaving
You here alone tonight
But please, can you say that you even care?
Don’t waste the time I’ve spared
If I could fly away
I know my winds would change
If I could fly away
We wouldn’t have to plan our escape
And I can’t wait
No I can’t stay.
We’re lost until we plan our escape
And I can’t wait
No this feeling can’t remain
We’re lost until we plan…
No remorse inside of me of past strength or time we’ve spent
My sights become a blessing.
Declare this a War, this, a battle between you and me.
There were so many feelings…
So listen to me when I speak
And try to get these words back to you
Cause I find it so hard just to let feelings die
Lemme’ recall all the times I’ve tried and all the times you’ve lied
We’re Lost until we plan our escape.

Oh So Hopelessly

Laughing, oh so hopelessly, I hope you had your fun.
Cause life’s not all about lying around, sitting in the sun.
You have to fight for what you’ve won.
You have to admit at what you’ve done.
And I can tell you one thing,
That everything is gonna be fine.
I can’t say that I love you.
Cause that’s not what’s on my mind
Oh Lizzy, oh Liz.
Everyday I woke to see your brimming, shinning face.
You of all people should know,
That no one can just simply take your place.
The fact that sometimes,
We don’t see eye to eye
Well you of all people should know that apart
We’ll both get our piece of pie.
And I can tell you one thing,
That everything is gonna be fine.
I can’t say that I love you.
Cause that’s not what’s on my mind
Oh Lizzy, oh Liz.
(Refrain)

Remember the Halloween we met?
Well I sure do.
Cause it’s the first time that my sorry excuse for eyes
Got to talk to you.
Your mind consumed me from that night,
Your eye’s stared through me bless my sight
But I know that all you wanted was more.
Tonight we throw our arms around the one,
Who makes us feel that Life’s no fun,
When time I spend thinking of you,
Could be time we spend alone, just two.
But you seem to remember differently,
While walking down the street
Hey who’s that pretty girl
With the cutest laugh
And the face I’ve never seen
But it couldn’t have happened that way
Cause I would not be of brave enough to say to you,
That “All I wanted was more.”
Tonight we throw our arms around the one,
Who makes us feel that Life’s no fun,
When time I spend thinking of you,
Could be time we spend alone, just two.
Tonight we throw our arms around,
The ones we care for in this town,
The time I spend alone thinking of you,
Could be time we spend alone, just two.
Tonight please throw out all your fears,
Give up time and give up years,
I’m not giving up on you.
(No I won’t give up on you, so please don’t ever contemplate the end)

Dimensions
02:40

I live such a scattered life,
Here on Brigham Road.
A year and half of just having a blast
I’ve wasted away with nothing left to show.
Now God’s come down and set me straight.
He said, “walk easier my Son, but do it with more weight.”
I can’t wait, for this life to break all of these connections…
And I can’t wait for this life to break out of this dimension
Where no limit or point beyond, can ever hold us back.
Life is full of these intersections, and you can’t pick and choose,
The ones to blow off or the friends that can conveniently be lost.
What we know in all these textbooks has come to pass.
But our satisfaction for redundant knowledge never seems to last.
I can’t wait, for this life to break all of these connections…
And I can’t wait for this life to break out of this dimension
Where no limit or point beyond, can ever hold us back.

Pancakes, Water, & Sleep

We are sane and powerful,
Able to climb any mountain, fast or slow.
You tough and ready to go,
Lucky for me is that you're so fucking beautiful.
How ever rocky our tread might be,
We always end as you and me.
Conversation let it flow,
Lucky for me is that you're the best at taking it slow.
The truth is that when we're not we,
This heart would rather fade than be.
You told me over and over again that it would have to stop,
That it would have to end.
But I feel as though I have the luck
Of sharing my life with the one I love.
With this pen I do declare,
My allegiance to the earth.
The mind is slow but quick to note,
I understand our sacred birth.
I see it in dirt, in faces, in TV's,
And I see it in those colors in the air.
It sees you too buts underneath away from all celebrity and all glare.
It doesn't want to attract any attention,
Or stir up any fears,
Sedated, numb, and overwhelmed,
I’m wasting away in a puddle of tears.
The truth is that when we're not we,
This heart would rather fade than be.
You told me over and over again that it would have to stop,
That it would have to end.
But I feel as though I have the luck
Of sharing my life with the one I love.
I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again,
That I love you to death and I can't be your friend.
No I can't be your friend.
I hate to see us go away from here.
Global emotion fills the oceans with their lonely tears.
The island is gone, there's no turning back.
Goodbye commission and terrorist attacks.

The River
07:40

I lay with you since I can remember
(Laid it on the line)
I’ve been with you since the fall
(All his wasted time)
Soon we’ll fall into December
(The coldest we could choose)
And start again despite it all
(Despite what I see)
And I waited by the river…
I stay with you and search my memory
(Searched it far and wide)
Of all these things that tend to fade
(They’re fading with time)
My mind is flooded by these waves of change
(Eroding me away)
I sit with you and slip into a dream
(A dream I don’t ever want to wake from)
(Refrain)
I’ve been drowning in you…
(Drowning in your lies)
(Refrain)

Maybe if we go back to start,
You could possibly fill the part of
The vacantness in me that resides
Come out baby, please don't run and hide
Maybe if we go to the fair,
You’ll let me run my fingers through your hair
I’ll buy you a stuffed animal
All I want for me is to be full
Of love and laughter everyday
All you gotta do is stop and say
Don’t you wanna see how this pans?
Don’t you wanna feed your demands?
Stupidity and silence is the path to the end
Don’t you wanna lay head to head?
Dream of us and what's real instead
The emptiness is spreading and I can't hold on.
Baby if we get together,
I know that we will fair the weather
The rain and clouds are far from my mind
Cause all I wanna do is spend good time
With you and only with you
Maybe baby, maybe it's with you
All that you need is what your mind can't see
What you need is freedom from this state
Don’t worry its not too late
Don’t you wanna see how this pans?
Don’t you wanna feed your demands?
Stupidity and silence is the path to the end
Don’t you wanna lay head to head?
Dream of us and what's real instead
Of all that reminds us of love.
Maybe if we bark at the moon
With wine and cheese here by the lagoon
Maybe if we go to the show
I can show you how I wont ever feel low when I’m with you.
