Tear me to pieces since that’s what you do My heart is aching with pictures of you Philly was a haven for both of us to share But now I am breathing my sweet Boston air For yes I do know where we stand You messed me up completely before we began so… If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, Then I’ll be the first one to make my own stand. I have a habit of putting off the blame And with some unrecognizable sense of shame You see, truth be told I can’t help But notice the window of opportunity Darling, I’ve seen the cracks and scars of a thousand bleeding hearts But now, I know…. Tear me to pieces since that’s what you do My heart is aching with pictures of you Philly stays a haven for me to stay aware Of problems that keep us from clearing the air For yes I do know where we stand I’m done with this for now, I need a new plan. So if I really was your best friend, Then I need to re-evaluate how I make them again. And if I seem to be awake when the sun rises, I need to learn how to sleep with my eyes closed. Honestly when life throws you surprises like this You need to know where to go And if it’s probably home… So let’s tear this to pieces since that’s what we do Our hearts are beating, this story’s not through I don’t need a haven for either of us to share I just need to breathe my own selfish air For yes I do know where we stand Admitting it is the hardest part It’s time to be a man. Though I miss being your best friend, I won’t start this over Or ever again.

The Phantom 04:15
(Yeah) I’ve been dreaming of a phantom Above my doorstep while I’m asleep Hey, it’s inception. I think it’s perfect. I think this planet could be worth it But only if we attempt to save it ourselves Because words don’t mean a thing It’s actions that speak louder You know that I would powder my nose and comb my hair for you I’d like to dress myself up As a token of gratitude; A thank you for teaching me What to and what not to do This could be the end…… This feels like a stream of conscious wit And I don’t really care if you don’t want to hear it I try to keep to myself as much as possible (Woah oh oh oh oh) City skylines aren’t the same One like Georgia stuck in the rain Everywhere I go it seems to grow I feel so nurtured even when I’m not at home. This could be the end…… This feels like a stream of conscious wit And I don’t really care if you don’t want to hear it I try to keep to myself as much as possible (Woah oh oh oh oh) From California Back to Georgia I’ll wander til I’m done This earth is a playground And life is a battle won This could be the end. This feels like a stream of conscious wit And I don’t really care if you don’t wanna hear it I tried to keep to myself as much as possible (Woah oh oh oh oh) This is not a stream of conscious wit And I don’t really care if you don’t want to hear it I won’t keep to myself anymore. No not at all. (Woah oh oh oh oh)

Stone Blood 03:42
I've been making choices at sea In spite of me Hoping one day I'll show them I've been watching cattle feed As we drive by I roll down the window and look at the countryside Wake up from your day dream I hear my parents scream But I keep fixated at the wall You know it's weird to me How science said We couldn't build the things we have But we're running out of staff And I've been trying to make stones bleed Watching as all my friends rose up These past four years With tours and college degrees I've been so hard on myself lately Try to keep me up to speed Forever trying to feel free What's impossible to you Could be so easy for another Forever wondering the consequences Of another way you went back Tell me Marietta is just how I remember it Let's re-examine this conversation for a bit. And I've been trying to make stones bleed Watching as all my friends rose up These past four years With tours and college degrees I've been so hard on myself lately Try to keep me up to speed Forever trying to feel free And don't you dare Try to tell me that this is where I need to go And don't you dare Try to tell me that you told me so... I've been trying to make stones bleed Watching as all my friends rose up These past four years With tours and college degrees (Oh) I've been so hard on myself lately Try to keep me up to speed Forever trying to feel free Forever trying to feel free Oh God, I'm trying to feel free Forever trying to feel free Forever trying to feel.....something

So I'll return one day When all my thoughts are clear Another shade of gray Might turn into an atmosphere When I am listening She holds this tender chord But I'm ambivalent And I will watch her as She dances On rooftops and tables in silhouettes Gliding around with her pirouettes Hoping for some kind of happiness She dances And as I recall she seemed to forget How according to her this was all that she had left. Years later things have changed I still remain insane She is a woman now While holding shattered parts of me The theater is dark and so is the stage I must have been affected by this blinding fucking rage I burned myself for the last fucking time Just cause matches are free, Doesn't mean that I'll keep a supply She might have listened once But I also might have tried to bring her the sky as She dances On rooftops and tables in silhouettes Gliding around with her pirouettes Hoping for some kind of happiness She dances And as she recalls she seemed to forget How according to her this was all that she had left. We're dancing the step of two I gave it all up for you my dear She dances On rooftops and tables in silhouettes Spinning me round with her pirouettes Hoping for some kind of happiness She dances And as I recall it's me who's seemed to forget How according to her this was all that we had.

Marriage 04:00
You came along and you brought me forward I know it seems like only days ago And yeah my drunken rant was geared toward You and how I wanted us to grow Take him back, just relax, I am heading home. If I quit cigarettes, would you answer your phone? You say you’re scared, so am I, but it’s different. I will leave and you know that I won’t regret Everything that I have ever done It’s not easy. This could be the greatest story That was never told I think I wanna be with you Until we grow old But I can’t be the one to kiss you With his hands stuck in your hair I can’t be the one to hold you When my face could never compare You said that you’re so pretty and you’re so tough Well how on earth could I make this up? You’re so pretty and you’re so tough How the hell could I make this up tonight? Tonight I’ll dream that we met In a different time And everything just felt so fine (A lie!) I lie awake and touch my heart I’m so turned off by bitter sparks The accents depress, and I digress For this is the hardest part. This could be the greatest story That was never told I think I wanna be with you Until we grow old But I can’t be the one to kiss you With his hands stuck in your hair I can’t be the one to hold you When my face could never compare You said that you’re so pretty and you’re so tough Well how on earth could I make this up? You’re so pretty and you’re so tough How the hell could I make this up tonight? I think I’ll marry you one day. I think I’ll marry you one day. Or at least I thought I’d marry you one day I thought I’d marry you one day Maybe I’ll marry you one day I’ll never marry you (oh) This could be the greatest story That was never told I just wanted to be with you Well, until we grow old But I can’t be the one to miss you With all your shit stuck in his hands I can’t be the one to hold you instead… You’re so pretty and you’re so tough Well how on earth could I make this up? You’re so pretty and you’re so tough How the hell could I make this up? You’re so pretty and you’re so tough How on earth could I make this up? You’re so pretty and you’re so tough. You’re so pretty and you’re so tough.

Golden 04:49
Someone told her Her eyes could get her what she wants. I agree completely, could never put up a front. Well there are times at night where I still miss her touch. She’s been on my mind, been thinkin’ bout her too much. And who knows what brought this sort of thing about. It could be happenstance, or my lingering rain cloud That only comes every time I get around To telling her “He’s no good. Let me help you figure it out.” And you’re golden Just like your face from the sun Though I feel broken I just wanna be the one To stand in line We could maybe Skype through summer nights I’ll save my pennies up I’ll bring love to another time. Oh it turns me pale when I think about The things you eat Making me want to change my life But then I retreat Into bad habits and it’s because of my A.D.D. I’ve never eaten kale But I’ll try some if it’s free And you’re golden Just like your face from the sun Though I feel broken I just wanna be the one To stand in line We could maybe Skype through summer nights I’ll save my pennies up I’ll bring love to another time. Keep on breathing All the water That is trapped in my lungs. Keep on searching For a comfort In the arms of another one. (Take it all. In the arms of another one.) And you’re golden Just like your face from the sun Though I feel broken and I just wanna be the one To stand in line We could maybe Skype through summer nights I’ll save my pennies up I’ll bring love to another time. I’ll save my pennies up I’ll bring love to another time. Save my pennies up, I’ll bring love to you.

Am I a murderer if I'm killing time? Am I a poet if I supply a rhyme? Am I a martyr if I die for life? All that I know is I'm glad I'm here tonight. Am I a wanderer if my feet lead me astray? Am I a dreamer if I stare at you all day? Am I a lover if I hold you until we're gray? All that I know is we'll never fade away. I am finally a simple matter of a man. Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey. All that I ask is that you try to understand That I have grown to this, and I have you to thank. Am I a servant if I wait on you? Am I a preacher if I preach what I think is true? Am I a king if I rule a household too? And if I asked for your hand, what exactly would you do? I am finally a simple matter of a man. Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey. All that I ask is that you try to understand That I have grown to this, and I have you to thank. I AM FLAWED I AM BATTERED I AM TORN BUT THIS MATTERS But would you stay? Would you stay? Would you stay? I am finally a simple matter of a man. Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey. All that I ask is that you try to understand That I have grown to this Oh I have grown to this I have grown to this, And I have you to thank. I will stay. I will stay. I will stay. I will stay.
