When I am walking late at night
and keep my feet pounding til light
every street is like another cold shoulder
I never should have told you it's over
what am I doing with my life

and every house I pass is dark
dogs hear my feet and start to bark
I remember when I could sleep soundly
it just so happens that you were there with me
I didn't know the things I'd miss

and you, you used to call me beautiful
I wonder if you think that still
and you, you could give me one last kiss
who knew it would come to this

and as I'm slipping into bed
I have another glass of red
every sip is like a gentle reminder
you'd be mine if I had tried to be kinder
and in the morning I'll be fine

You Used To Call Me Beautiful

Hi, pleased to meet you
you know I don't even like your name
look at your two lips flapping
you couldn't wait to tell me of your pain

Do we really need to play this game?
I wanna hurt you slowly
all you martyrs are just the same
and none of you are holy

Say, what can we do?
don't you worry, you've got me to blame
it's just one little setback
there you go now, you're up in flames

do we really need to play this game?
can't help but hurt you slowly
don't bother trying to hide your shame
it's not my fault you're lonely

it takes time to get happy
and I know it sounds sappy

It Takes Time (WIP)

The Great Indoors

On The Vine

Open Heart Surgery (Brian Jonestown Massacre Cover)

I've been there before
I've been flat ignored
Your story's such a bore
I'm sorry, tell me more

I never want to see your face again
And no, I'm sorry, we can't still be friends
I never thought that what we had could end
But now it's come to glowering again

I've been there before
I've been flat ignored
Your story's such a bore
I'm sorry, tell me more

I never want to feel this way again
Wishing that we never were close friends
Who ever thought that what we had would end
All but those now glowering again

Glower

Too Little Too Late

I will fight these things for you
I'll do all that I can do
if I wait until you leave
you will not still care for me

I will fight these things for you
I will right these things for you
I won't wait until you leave
I don't want to be reprieved

you know I love you
you know I'm scared
you know I'm sorry
and not prepared
If you take your love from me
I will wash up in the sea

I know you love me
I know you care
and if you need me
I'll be there
if you ever are unsure
I will fly just like a bird

I'm Scared (Work In Progress)

Shacking up with a woman
waking up with a wife
do you think that it's crazy
if I want it for life

If everyone thinks that I'm crazy
maybe somebody's right
I don't want to be crazy
for the rest of my life

First sight every morning
this is becoming our room
first light every morning
I don't think we're doomed

If everyone thinks that I'm crazy
maybe somebody's right
I don't want to be crazy
for the rest of my life
it could be a long life

If everyone thinks that I'm crazy
maybe somebody's right
I admit I've been crazy
for the bulk of my life
it's been such a long life

I Don't Want To Be Crazy

Fast and hot
A new girl loves me, why not

Tell me, what did you expect?
For you to find me 
All alone and begging you to love me?
I'd sooner just forget than say I'm sorry

New Girl

Tried so hard to believe you
nothing ever did come true
again and again I would try to
swallow the lies I could see through.

And I know that it's true
everything that you do
tells me what you refuse
tells me I'm gonna lose.

I don't believe you
not a single word
never could believe you
your lies just weren't that good.

Gertrud,
