The Scorn 05:07
I tried to make things up to you in the morning sun But you turned your pretty little nose up at the plate I made So I called your mom up and I asked her what the hell should I do She said buy the most vibrant bouquet you have ever seen But it won't bring her home anytime soon Cause Son, you've never seen scorn like that woman's scorn and I cried as I stared up at that beautiful pale blue moon The backlight of your photos always has an imperfect hue And I'll write the most romantic love song just for you And I called even though I knew it was much too soon

Habit 02:49
They said "you're beautiful, and you can do anything" You took it way to far- you think the road is paved and smooth Cause you're super high maintenance and I wish you luck with your shit Some say that you're beautiful but you're a habit I've gotta quit Yeah, I'll open the door and give you everything So sorry I missed your call, I just need a break Cause you're super high maintenance and I wish you luck with your shit I feel like we've been here before Cause you're a habit I've gotta quit Oh I'm gonna close that door and face these elements on my own

A lone wolf in the night Coming in and out with the tide He was the arrow to her bow, he was the needle to her thigh and there was friction when she survived A hospital bed in cold light that scent it never left his mind He made the call to save her life, but it cost her all her might and she's still a dancer in his mind All these broken pieces that you just can't put back together again Are you so self-righteous that you just can't ask for the help of a friend? She lost the sweet with doctors saw She loves her man, but she screens his calls "He was the one that took my everything, my right to die with dignity and I hold it over him when I fall" Oh all these broken pieces that you just can't put back together again Are you so self-righteous that you just can't ask for the help of a friend?

Be My 04:33
Be my clever distraction and I’ll be your wounded man Be my fatal attraction and I’ll live as long as I can Be my binding chains, and I’ll be your beast to train If you take me back in, I’ll be home again She’s my downhill ride when the lights they all went red I go to war for her but I would end up dead She’s inside my brain and I know I’ll never think the same and if she takes me back in- well I’ll be home again Cause I needed you, and I feel you My heart’s still beating for you I need my good luck charm, but she just can’t change my fate I’m constantly worrying on a day to day basis She knows I know that I’m getting close to her heart And I hope when the curtains open I can do my part Cause I needed you, and I feel you My heart’s still beating for you

See a tree in constant drought- be the water A broken leg in the regal halls- be the cane and I am going crazy as the sun burns hotter And we decend into darkness, she brings the rain So glad you came A single boy on a friday night- lamb to the slaughter His friends can’t help but get him high and he’s going to waste She slides down that steel pipe- that’s someone’s daughter She cries herself to sleep at night, but she feels the fame So glad you came I’m so tired of it, and I’m still wired a bit Cause I came all this way to see you drown She tears away at her skin as the itch burns stronger All she needs is just one more fix, but she’s caving in Her friends are helpless on standby, but they still call her She cries herself to sleep at night as she feels the rain So glad you came

Your heart's on sale to the highest bidder It sure makes you cold, it sure makes you bitter I showed you my cards but I got burned That’s a war I lost but a lesson I learned No I can’t deny it- that I feel the way I do I can’t just hide it, when I hear that song I fall in love with the groove When baby moved out she took all my things She even took my favourite record by Diamond Rings My comics and clothing strewn about the floor That little girl she took my heart and she came back for more No I can’t deny it- that I feel the way I do I can’t just hide it, when I hear that song I fall in love with the groove

Sunset 03:02
Your sunset coloured hair makes me smile whenever you come by I don’t know why you come in here, but I like the way you carry yourself I don’t even know your name, maybe I’ll see you later I’m not playing any games- you and I should have dinner sometime soon If it’s thai food that you like, I know this great place around the corner But if somewhere’s on your mind, you can lead and I will follow I don’t even know your name, maybe I’ll see you later If I only had my way, I’d see more of your sunset flavour Your sunset flavour

Vintage Feel 03:36
She’s new age fun with a vintage feel She’s looking for parts to re-invent the wheel Got good taste in music and sex appeal You gotta ask her out- tell her how you feel The days are long and I am uninspired I constantly hope my creativity won’t tire She found a way to get her face stuck inside my head My heart was frozen so long ago, and I regret it Can you save a frozen heart She’s new age fun with a vintage feel She’s looking for parts to re-invent the wheel Got good taste in music and sex appeal You gotta ask her out- tell her how you feel The dating goes on but I know that she’ll get tired I wanna be able to respark our fire I found a way to screw things up even worse than before But she will stay and tell me that she loves me even more Can you save a frozen heart

Compassion 04:02
I am not an evil man, but I sometimes like to kidnap little creatures Take them all far back in time and watch them fight to death from the bleachers I don’t have a reason to show compassion I am a lord of time, and I’m on a mission I started such an evil pact, where I twist and contort the words of your leaders I’ll take them off the firing line and watch them fight to death from the bleachers I don’t have a reason to show compassion I am a lord of time, and I’m on a mission I’ll never be tried for treason, cause I distort the words I am corporate media, I am the deep pockets of all the judges You thought justice was a just cause cause you weren’t fighting for you you were fighting for the future But I’ve been there and back so many times that a lost cause comes in the form of a biased teacher I don’t have a reason to show compassion I am a lord of time, and I’m on a mission I’ll never be tried for treason, cause I distort the words

found her lost by the river side The water curled as she made up her mind Should she stay with a love-less thug or dive right in and fill up her lungs She told me to stop “Don’t come any closer. The man who you sent you is an evil bastard. He kidnaps kids, and does twisted things. He threatens my life on a daily basis.” “That’s why I’m out here in the rain, cause I can’t go back there again.” I said “Why did you marry such an evil man?” She said “He wasn’t like that when we first began. He was kind of sweet, with that look in his eyes. But my ‘white knight’ he kind of froze inside. I lost him slow, like the sunset skies. He tortured himself from Jekyll to Hyde.” “That’s why I’m out here in the rain, cause I can’t go back there again.” I thought to myself, “Well she may be right. But a bounty hunter should keep his eyes on the prize.” “I’m powerless to save you now- You might not die by his hands, but you’ll surely drown. Come with me, if you wanna live. I’ll take you far away- far away from him.” That’s why we’re out here in the rain Cause we can’t go back there again
