The Scientist / Cover

Featuring Joe Ottavi

Lyrics:
Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me
All things to me

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind


Wild Is The Wind (Nina Simone Cover)

Coming back down from a high
I guess this is goodbye 
For a time

And maybe one day we'll find
Another love to ease the grind
Into a lonely life

Against the wind, against the grain
A broken heart's got it all to gain
But it can't with pain

And falling down and falling fast
Is this what I've missed?
I guess it isn't much, but it sure feels like a lot

And obsolete and redesigned
A transition without an open mind

Oh and
My Life as It Falls Apart
I felt the weight of the world when I was 20
But you're never too young to be broken down
And you broke me down
But look at me now

My life as it falls apart
It's beautiful, a brand new start
But I don't want it
I don't want to face the world with tears in my eyes
With opportunity breathing down my neck
It's too much for one broken kid to take

As you walked out the door
We shared an glance of empty reflection

The silence spoke so much to me
It choked out the embers of our burning love

Oh and
My Life as It Falls Apart
I felt the weight of the world when I was 20
But you're never too young to be broken down
And you broke me down
But look at me now

But look at me now



My Life As It Falls Apart

Sacrificed on the altar of love
Waiting for my time to come

I was born to the wrong time
Fell out on my head
Concrete disappointment
Waiting for me down below

I woke up 
With heads turned all around

Lonely hearts on the wrong kids
Righteous, burning pain
Nightmares under these eyelids
And pumping through these acid veins

These days I'm a walking pushover
For these replayed scenes

I woke up
With nothing in my soul
And if you even cared, you'd say "hello"

Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is 
I know it's something

If you even cared, you would've stopped

I feel a new dawn coming on
But I don't feel the warmth at all
Turbulence
Rough skies and hardened minds
Free falling

I woke up
With tears burning in my eyes
And if you even cared, you'd say "goodbye"

Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is 
I know it's something

If you had the time,
I'd make it up

Tell me what it is
I know it's something
Tell me what it is 
I know it's something

If you even cared,
You'd look me up



Turbulence

Is he there
Breathing in your breath?
Under the covers,
Telling secrets I’d bet.

Does he know
Exactly what he has?
A love so poignant it can scar a hardened man for all his years.

Is he there
When you’re upset?
Filling in the shadow
That I wish I left.
Does he feel the same to you or is it better round this time?

If I had
I had to guess
I’d guess that you were over me
And that you weren't such a mess

Does he know 
That indent on your chest?
Does your imperfection make him feel you're more perfect than the rest?

Does he know
About me?
About the pillow forts of love we made
That tumbled down so spectacularly.

When you’re doing
Your dirty laundry,
When you’re cleaning
Plates after you two dine
I hope I creep into your mind the way you creep into mine.

If I had
I had to guess
I’d guess that you were over me
And that you weren't such a mess

Is he there
Holding your hand?
Are you there
With your fantasy wedding planned?
Are you there
Being made to laugh?

Is he there
Breathing in your breath?

Breathing in ghostly vapors
Of forgotten lovers like me
Breathing in ghostly vapors
Of forgotten lovers like me

Sweetheart, I Miss Your Pain

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

I take my love, take it down
I climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down, oh, oh
The landslide bring you down


Landslide - Fleetwood Mac Cover

Hey, Smooth Operator
I've got a question
Where does this piece go?
And here in my own skin, I'm no pro
We're so witty, such a pity
That we couldn't figure out how to grow

Such a pity these young souls
Grow old with broken bones
Aching joints, a respirator
For pain I get no points
So what's the point
Of rolling out of bed in the first place?

Sometimes the hardest things in life to find
Are the easiest to lose

We wouldn't have to say much, dear
Just a moment of burning silence
To remember what it was and why we were

We were cruel and we were selfish
It wasn't the exception,
But it certainly wasn't the rule

We wouldn't have to say much, dear
Just a moment of burning silence
To remember what it was and why we were
I don't really remember
Maybe that's the worst of it
Maybe moving on means forgetting her

On your way out
Leave a trail for me to
Hound your memory and chase my own tail
What it means, to be alone?
You really wanna know?
It's when you're laying on your back at night in solitude performance
Of a dead man walking forming dormant scars that mourn your chorus of love

After all this?
Over nothing that even happened?
I'd call you a dog, but at least dogs are loyal
Over just a change in attitude?

You "have to find yourself"?
I don't know what the hell that means and I don't care to know

Outliers

Lyrics:

I used to pray 
For
I used to pray 
Don’t delay

Things that never came
Dreams that forever stayed
Crashing down hard
Nightmarish shards of my broken remains

Some losers say
You won’t last
Love’s not a game
It’s an ashtray

But I was born of brass
Half empty corpse optimistic and naive at best
Crutches of glass
Propped up my mortal remains

Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself

For my folks,
I guess it all went too fast
Forlorn with scorn,
Wearing balls and chains

For me,
I’ve seen rivers of gold
Been out on my knees,
Without a sieve in the rain

Years ahead of me,
Don’t fill me with childlike glee
An uphill battle, 
Is the hill I’ve been destined to lay

Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself
Love is a noose
You tie yourself

Love Is A Noose

Ignition (Remix)

We had reason to believe that it would always be good
We had reason to believe that it was doomed from the start
It turned out a farce

Condescending son has gone and sun is coming out my son for us
The bus is missing must be something in the weather’s cloudy day
We just might be late
Narcoleptic networkers who park their carcass in the market parking lot without their car keys waiting for the prophet’s caucus to pass
What a waste of gas

Now I don’t believe in Cinderella
Read the wiki page about depression had another stella I don’t
Wanna know 
How your bratty kids are doing after being raised in private school who get drool on their dicks instead of blood on their lips I don’t 
Really care what you say

I duck for cover when there’s nothing there
I scream for help like wood chipped chair 
I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four 
I hit the floor
I cry in the day in the brilliant light
I smile in the cab on a Monday night
I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop
Teenage Romance in a Fast Life

dwelling on missed kisses with the misses please dismiss I pissed the bliss away amiss with remiss from untaken risk has gotta be good for something
But don’t lie to me
Jocks in wheelchairs getting glares of former glory unrepaired just gotta walk away, oh wait, they can’t
They think, “At least I got good hair”

We had reason to expect that forever was a virtue
We had reason to believe in a thing called love 
What a bunch of crud

Now I don’t believe in Cinderella
Read the wiki page about depression had another stella I don’t
Wanna know 
How your bratty kids are doing after being raised in private school who get drool on their dicks instead of blood on their lips I don’t 
Really care what you say

I duck for cover when there’s nothing there
I scream for help like wood chipped chair 
I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four 
I hit the floor

I cry in the day in the brilliant light
I smile in the cab on a Monday night
I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop
Teenage Romance in a Fast Life

I drop for cover when there’s nothing there
I scream for help like wood chipped chair 
I’m broken in two, maybe three, maybe four 
I hit the floor
I cry in the day in the brilliant light
I smile in the cab on a Monday night
I go, and I stop, and I go, and I stop
Teenage Romance in a Fast Life

Teenage Romance In A Fast Life

Jumping off the New York skyline with a high mind
Falling on velvet streets feel like concrete in the daily grind
I’m clocking in and punching out and punching me and cleaning grout
In this pipeline of a heart’s line with a courtesy call from the front line

It was gravity that pulled us up and destiny that brought us together 
But that doesn’t mean that true love makes you any less of a quitter
In the corners of my life in the shadows of shame
there’s a black man with a beaten brow from the judiciary courts and the civil service
But where are you in the day’s end, you fake ass friend
Pat my back with a knife instead of a helping hand
Condensating with fear in the dawn of the eve where you pulled out these lies concealed under your sleeve

For forty days and forty nights I clung to a false promise
That when God had wrought a divine dryness that she would be my royal highness 
But it was so wrong and so long, and it still is 
Until I could see my damn face without seeing hers within it

Just break me down, I’m a clown, doing tricks with a frown
In the alley, the gutter, the continuous flutter
of life in the nether where everyone’s better
And more well adjusted but can’t seem to get her
God Bless the red, white, and blue
As if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do

I just don’t know what I’m coming to, I just don’t know

Maybe this bitch is crazy
Perhaps profoundly lazy
Just wanted to smoke weed in hot rods
and suck dick under the promenade
But there’s a cost to freedom
cause every moment you need it there’s someone else beats you

Polling for answers, an election, an ordinary ordinance sanction, 
It’s the function of a junked brain to clutch onto intangible reins
God Bless the Red, white, and blue 
as if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do

I just don’t know what I’m coming to, I just don’t know

Waving a black flag
Without thinking of the price tag, 
sitting in a parking lot snorting white lighting off a paper bag 
Just so this teenage glory never ends 
Keep the party going get your 
ragtag friends to make amends

A slight gag at the thought being sober
The part’s never over never forget
In a drunken haze of stupid powder relinquishing your godly power over me 
A spree of pleas for missed opportunities won’t you please 
Forget everything you thought you knew about me
My pain, your pain, love stain, the same, 
As a matter of fact

God bless the red, blue and black, a panic attack
Colors of the rainbow are all out of whack, but no one’ll put em back
It’s armageddon, 
God bless the red, black, and blue
As if our country’s pride will make up for what the heart can’t do 

God / Love / America

The Surface


To make the worst out of a good situation
To be unhappy when fate has good intentions
Something speaks to me, and tells me nothing’s wrong
But my worries make my mind a loaded gun

I stuck my toe in the water, but I didn’t feel a thing
And I slow danced around the room with you, but my heart was in swing
What is love? Is it a good thing?
I’ve always found it to be very cruel and unforgiving

Is it too much to ask for some love?
Uninterrupted by juxtaposition of “God”.
My heart bleeds ink and writes:
“I love you”

Doves only come in pairs
And it’s hard to trust in God when there’s no one there
Right in the pit of the soul
It hurts to be alone
But it hurts to be with someone and the pieces don’t fit
And it pains me to have anything short of perfect

Is it too much to ask for some love?
Uninterrupted by juxtaposition of “God”. 
My heart bleeds ink and writes:
“I love you”

Sometimes I think I shouldn’t feel so bad
What I got is good but the temptation of ‘better’ makes me sad
You’re everything a fairytale could be
So I just gotta wake up and see 

Is it too much to ask for some love?
Uninterrupted by juxtaposition of “God”. 
My heart bleeds ink and writes:
“I love you”
