Cheap Roses

I'm overwhelmed, I'm overworked
I'm over tired, I'm over it
I'm under siege, my brittle knees
My broken back, my shoulders to the wind
Can't you see that I'm not whole
This place was never my home
Places hold people
These people are why I've gotta leave
The place most familiar to me
Maybe I'll head out west where the air is clean
And the roses they are cheap
I'll be well rested, be well fed
Be well dressed, find my wellbeing
Can't you see that I'm not clean
The pollution's killing me yeah
Places hold people
These people are why I've gotta flee
The place most familiar to me

Elephant in the Room
03:58

You could do better, you are my better half
And you've got more to say
And I am certain of that
Cause I still taste the blood
From all the months I bit my tongue
Why do you sweep me under the rug
Like I'm a stain you're embarrassed of
You are my best one, you're my best friend
And I would hate to see this end
Before it even starts
Did you think about my heart
Did you think about my heart
I could be reckless, I could jump the gun
Or I could jump the border and forget everyone
You are my best one, you're my best friend
And I would hate to see this end
Before it even starts
Did you think about my heart
Did you think about my heart
Did you think about my heart
What are we gonna do
About this elephant in the room
Do we send him back to the zoo
I would fight him for you
Cause you are my best one, you're my best friend
And I would hate to see this end
Before it even starts
Did you think about my heart
Did you think about my heart
What about my heart

Coffee

I can't drink coffee anymore
Because it tastes like your mouth
In the morning on the couch
Before it all went south
There was no turbulence to indicate
That this plane was going down
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give it up that easy
I've got problems baby
You don't gotta solve 'em maybe
I asked you for too much and
Maybe you didn't ask enough of me
I am stronger than you think
There were no sirens to warn us
This place was burning down and I
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give it up that easy
My love grew stronger than ginger
Yours grew slower than molasses
It was sweet, bittersweet
Why'd you go sugar free
Cut me out, too much of a good thing
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You can think I am crazy
You don't get to give me up that easy
Got a one way ticket baby
Gotta show you this is worth fighting for to me
You don't get to give me up that easy
You can think I am crazy

Leaves

This spring was the coldest
Massachusetts has seen in some time
I didn't feel the warmth until I
Looked in your eyes, I die a little every time
The leaves are taking longer than
They're supposed to to change colors this year
It's probably cause they know
That once they fall, you'll be gone my dear
And I'll still be here
I wish it was April
And the trees had new leaves
But it's October and you're leaving me
It is October and you're leaving me
You got yourself a haircut now
You look just like the day that I first met ya
It's funny how the things that grow
Can be cut down just to grow back again
You make my hair stand on end
I'm still glad you're my friend
I wish it was April
And the trees had new leaves
But it's October and you're leaving me
It is October and you're leaving me
I wonder how the winter will be
When the trees lose their leaves
Maybe you will call me yeah
Don't you wish it was April
And that you had picked me
But it's December and you're so lonely
It is December and you have lost me

Fever Dream
04:22
|
|||
My skin burns, my heart yearns
I've earned more than they
Feel that I deserve
I grew weak, I can't sleep
The terrors of the night
They're haunting me, haunting me
Fever dream, you are to me
A nightmare to the sickly
I'll sweat you out of me
Broken with the fever you will be
My tongue's tied, my brain's fried
I surely wouldn't mind someone
Holding me tonight
Goodnight, sleep tight
It'll all be better in the morning light
Fever dream, you are to me
A nightmare to the sickly
I'll sweat you out of me
Broken with the fever you will be
When I was younger, I was smaller
I felt taller, I was bolder now
The boulder in my chest is getting heavy
I can't breathe
Fever dream, you are to me
A nightmare to the sickly
I'll sweat you out of me
Broken with the fever you will be

Bitter Lemons
03:54
|
|||
I'm stuck in limbo
I'm not flexible enough to get by
I lost my mind and my money
In a city that's so nice
The city lights, they shine so bright
Where is my ending of happiness
This brick road's only yellow
Cause it's covered in piss
And caution lines
Even in the warmth, I am shivering cold
And I am growing old in a city I felt young in
I outgrew my skin
Happiness is fleeting
I'm a series of the right place at the wrong time
And I try to be sweet like candy
But I'm bitter like the lemons life's thrown at me
Oh I'm not sweet
Even in the warmth, I am shivering cold
And I am growing old in a city I felt young in
I outgrew my skin
I outgrew my skin
I outgrew my skin

Fiske Terrace

I have moved a mile away
From the place where it all started
It feels foreign
You kissed me in that kitchen
Now I've got one we can dance in
But you're leaving
You lived down the street from me
1 AM we're watching Twin Peaks
It was lovely
Last year today, I realized I loved you
And that will never change
I wish you would of stayed
This year today, I watched as you
Drove away from my place
I just miss your face
Frankly I miss you
Now I'm in my tiny room
And my bed feels big without you
All that's left of you
Is your hair on my bedsheets
I still smell you and it kills me
Cause you're out of reach
Last year, last week I slept alone
You came to me in my dreams
And you laid with me
This year, this week you slept here
Next to me and now I sleep alone
I just miss your skin
Frankly I miss you
I miss you more than the polar bears
Miss the glaciers and I miss you more
Than I can bear

Seasons Change
04:11
|
|||
My love, my love is fierce
My love induces fear
When it rains, it's a goddamn hurricane
All cynics fall the same
I've seen the seasons change in the reflection
Of your eyes on a computer screen
My love has aged like a wine in the
Finest cellar in Italy
But what if it poisons me
Too drunk to see clearly
Your love was stolen in the night
I didn't get to fight for
What I thought was mine
When it rains, it's a goddamn hurricane
All cowards fall the same
I've seen the seasons change in the
Freckles on your back lying next to me
My love withstood the fight
Too long for me to give it up this easy
Grew stronger than a pine, still green
Cut down to be a Christmas tree
Tell me something please
Tell me I still come to you in your dreams
Tell me you love me
Tell me you still love me please
Please
I'll see the seasons change in a
World where you no longer need me
My love will never die
Even when my soul leaves my body
But what if it poisons me
Too dumb to see clearly
