I never saw it as a victory
At least not in terms that I agreed on
Who are you to preach to me of your misery?
Sat back feasting while I scream on
Gone too soon 
You're out of tune 
I can't bear to see 

Sing to me 
Your newfound heartbreak 
Should I look stunned 
Tell to me 
Your tales of horror 
I've overcome 
As I emerge from beneath the floorboards

Six-pack shooter in a leather bound lottery 
Counting the odds but she's still wrong 
Defeated in a game of wits and wizardry 
Material madness growing strong 
Single handed 
Single minded 
Do I wanna know? 

Sing to me 
Your newfound heartbreak 
I've overcome 
Tell to me
Your tales of horror 
I've overcome 
As I emerge from beneath the floorboards 

Sing to me
Your newfound heartbreak 
Should I look stunned?
Tell to me 
Your tales of horror 
I've overcome 
I don't know where I'm going from here 
Shot me out of the atmosphere
I can't bear to see  
I'm done chasing after you 
As I emerge from beneath the floorboards

Minor Mishaps

Beneath the Floorboards

How do you get by 
When all your really have is faith 
The ripples reach you before you can run 
When was the last time 
You witnessed holy grace 
The echoes only sounded in reverse 

Do the righteous ever really close their eyes?
This plan will only lead to your demise 

You stare at the screen, at your hair
Don't you hope you're debonaire
I bet that you still laugh at the dare, at the plastic 
And the stairs 
So slowly goes the chance to be exempt 
You're too dumb so you attempt 
You lose either way 

I could talk some sense into you
A match made in heaven 
Names without faces 
A temporary trial for two
A match made in heaven
Names without faces 

Ooh, ooh
Aah, aah

Six in the morning 
Everyone on their toes 
Before sunrise wipes you clean off of the map
Hollow bodied boneheads
Kicking you in your sleep 
Wondering if it is all their fault 

I just can't understand 
Find me a place to land this thing 
I'm aiming for you 
Waiting for you now 
Now 

You stare at the screen, at your hair 
Don't you hope you're debonaire 
I bet that you still laugh at the dare
At the plastic, and the stairs 
So slowly goes the chance to be exempt 
You're too dumb so you attempt 
You lose either way 

I could talk some sense into you 
A match made in heaven 
Names without faces 
A temporary trial for two 
A match made in heaven 
Names without faces 

Ooh, ooh 
Aah, aah

Why must I take the lead 
Tossing rocks over the ravine 
I remember once so long ago
When I had wants and you had those 
Socks that came up to your knees 
To protect you from bones and the birds and the bees 
I knew what you wanted to say 
Darling, I knew you would have it your way
You complain, but you never did 
You complain, but you never did 

Names Without Faces

Grease the hinges 
Lubrication 
Open the doorway 
Ventilation 

Corrupt controller 
Deserted landscape 
Moving towards her 
Waiting to escape 
Blame the pool boy 
Stepchildren 
TV westerns 

Make me weak 
Lost the words to speak

One way vision 
Lost the highway 
Rearview mission 
We're doing it my way 

Slim pickings 
Jackrabbit 
Squatting and sitting 
We'll make it a habit 

Renegade 
Last time you'll ever get away 

Don't you know it's rude, 
To stare across the table waiting for your food? 
Ooh, ooh
Is he coming down on you? 
Baby, don't you know it hurts me to see you bruised?
Ooh, Ooh 

I'm just spectating 
Watch you sit atop your things 
Far away inside 
Scattered far and wide 

That's just what they'll talk about when they're sober 
What will we talk about when we get older?

Lubrication

What is this feeling? 
I think I've been here before 
It felt a lot like this 

Coffee walks side by side 
Breathlessness breaking in 
Pulling down the pieces of 

Last time I opened up 
I got knocked on my back 
But something's changed 

Oh Sasha 
The mornings 
You go by 
Leaving me waking up next to you 
But this time 
So precious 
So vital 
Leave me coming up for air 
Oh yeah 

Dangling from the start 
Out of date to begin 
Luminescent lady leading 
I'd gladly follow where you lead
I forgot what it means to go on 

Last time I opened up 
I got knocked on my back 
Last time I walked this line 
I couldn't keep up an act 
Something's changed 

Oh Sasha 
The mornings 
You go by 
Leave me waking up next to you
But this time 
So precious 
So vital 
Feels like coming up for air 

Equilibrium 
This love that flows both ways 
Is ours 


Sasha

On the Other Side of Town

I never saw it as a victory
At least not in terms that I agreed on 
Who are you to preach to me of your misery?
Sat back feasting while I scream on 
Single handed and single minded 
Do I wanna know? 

Sing to me 
Your newfound heartbreak 
Should I look stunned? 
Tell to me 
Your tales of horror
I've overcome 
As I emerge from beneath the floorboards

Six-pack shooter in a leather bound lottery 
Counting the odds though she's still wrong 
Beaten in a game of wits and wizardry 
Material madness growing strong
Gone too soon and you're out of tune 
I can't bear to see

Sing to me 
Your newfound heartbreak 
Should I look stunned? 
Tell to me 
Your tales of horror
I've overcome 
As I emerge from beneath the floorboards

What if I found
A way
Your seafoam green 
Undertow 

Another mistake 
For the gatekeepers 
To keep track of 
I'm tired of chasing you 
All over town 

If you'd stay a little bit longer

Trudging on slowly 
You're trying to find a reason to get out of this hole you've dug yourself into
In the sand
Am I dreaming again? 
Listening for 
The wayward clap of your hands 
Again, again, again, again

If you'd stay a little bit longer 

Won't you treat me to just another minute of your time?
Won't you treat me to just another minute of your time?
I'm trying to give you the skills, oh, the necessary know how 
To get by 

If you'd stay a little bit longer 
But if you'd stay
But if you'd stay...

The Island Song

Hold me down and put me right
I need to feel good tonight 
You're not as nice as you think you are
But I wish I could go on believing 

Once or twice in a lifetime 
You'll have a dream, you'll see your timeline
You'll wonder how you got so lost 
Everyone's entitled to feel missing 

Energized to start a new one 
Turning pages can be the most fun
Your mind fogs up with what you want 
Before long you're back to looking funny 

As surely as you live and breath
You know your chances are plenty 
A new day will be dawning soon 
Forget about the world until you've had your coffee

Don't be so lazy
Take a chance and move into the city
You can only go up from here
Whenever you're ready 
Don't think that it will be easy
You can only go up from here

Reminiscing counterpart
Promised me you had a heart 
Pumping blood and breathing too
Intoxication makes it more exciting 

Lost inside these silly patterns 
Stretched from here to the rings of Saturn 
Turn it down, you've lost your hunch 
That doesn't mean we can't still be friendly

Don't be so lazy
Take a chance and move into the country
Cowering until you face your fears 
Whenever you're ready
Don't be so greedy
No one will ever get there unless you steer 

When I'm gone will you forget me? 
When I'm gone will you protect me?
Forget about the world my baby

Ahead (They Sent for Me)

I am an avid musician searching for other musicians to record and jam with! I am always writing music, and I know how to play just about everything in a typical band setting. Currently, I record on my laptop with logic, but with more help I'd love to get into a real studio soon. Check out my page, and let me know what you think!
