Granite State

Finally, things are working out
Can’t believe I had so much doubt
However, I’ve been up and down
Primarily, my feet remain on the ground
But what do I do now? What am I supposed to do now?

I sat here all alone, until you came over
A conversation which had been soon engaged
Had turned you into my four-leaf clover

Introduce me to the path that walked you into my life
I know damn well we can overcome any strife
That interrupts what we have created
Don’t let that remain unstated

Things will never be same
Life in this town is becoming lame

All is well where I am, besides an occasional jam
I’d like to be where I dream of
If only I could find true love

Waiting my turn for the roller coaster again, yeah
One-night exclusive; bring your friends

Don’t forget, you worked hard to get here
Pay off your debts and pour yourself a beer

Eyesore

Connection Established

Here’s to my would-be valentine
Quite a story it would have been if you were still mine

Here is why I must imply
That your eyes could make me cry

Today I saw my would-be valentine
I really wonder what things would be like if you were still mine

I have to admit that I’m not over it
Suffered a critical hit and I’ve been feeling like shit
All alone, down to the bone
And down to the bone, I feel alone

There walks my would-be valentine
And I know it’s not because our souls would not combine
(Because they did)

Stumped

Osier

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Can barely tell if I’m alive or dead
No reason for me to feel this way
I’m hopeful for the return of better days

‘Til then, I don’t need much
But I guess I could use a crutch

These people know not to bother me
Whispering to each other, “Let him be.”
Deep down, I’m alright
Waiting for the days to start to get bright

I’m not like this all the time
To Hell with wintertime
Everything is alright; we’ll be outside tonight
I’ll be heading outside whenever everyone else abides

Wonderful Weather We're Having

This isn’t right; up past midnight 
Wondering why everything’s awry
I don’t know where I went wrong, if I did at all
My lack of knowledge causes my fears to grow tall
I’m drowning in questions and I’m held down by doubt
My love is suffering from a deadly drought

A part of me is missing, indeed; and I believe it’s with you
I feel as though I’m limited on options of what to do
I have no idea if I’m still ever on your mind
Perhaps I broke the promise that I would move on, and that’s not fine

Curiosity and generosity
Both parts of me that no one ever sees

Right here, right now

This isn’t right; up past midnight 
Wondering why everything’s awry
This isn’t right; up past midnight
Wondering why I can’t clarify

Question Ocean

Why Worry?

It wasn’t hard to tell that her serotonin had shot right through the roof
Her eyes showed the proof
Deliberately, I cast a lure
Surprisingly, I was asked to deliver more

If I were to ever see you as unappealing
Would you believe it? Would you believe it?
If you were to ever catch some odd feelings
I would not believe it, I would not believe it
I would not; no I would not

I’m not venting, you’re hearing me complain
To your ass, I must cause such pain
Even though I’m no risk-taker
I’m prone to be a mistake-maker
Oh well, there’s room to grow

They’ve always said to stick with what you are inclined
Your charm is unconfined
Your personality, unrefined
You are always on my mind, my mind

Taken To The Cleaners

Making my way around
Burning bridges down
I’ll be nowhere to be found
Camping out underneath the ground

Are you happy with the life you chose?
Some days, you’ll want to disappear
Some days you’ll wish you were never here
Put all of that aside
Because you’ll have to decide why you’re really here
But not today

Burning bridges down
Making my way around

Wonder why I’m always scared
Wonder why you and I were never paired
Consumed by rumination
Very little preparation
Convinced by accumulation
Sick from acclimation

Remember that I exist when you feel alone

Exit Existence

There's a hot-pink elephant in the room
Reminding me of some kind of impending doom

Guess I'd better leave here with everything I can
And not get told what to do by the man

Promise me that you'll bury me with my treasure

As far as I know
Cold winds will soon blow
I'll be searching for shelter soon
It'll be 27 below by noon
As I gaze upon the evening sky
I dream of you and I
The same thought continues to intrude
Will you be with me when my journey concludes?
