my best friend is the baddest motherfucker i know
takes all the girls that he wants back to his home
in the ashes of the wildfire
that's becoming his lifestyle
you said you would write
didn't you
you said it's alright
didn't you
you said you would write
from your way
my best friend was caught just the other day
caught with a pound of crack/cocaine
in the absence of your brother
he will find it hard to recover
you said you would write
didn't you
you said it's alright
didn't you
you said you would write
from your way
i don't know where my friend has gone
posted bail and is on the run
now he's living under covers
and he will fight those who discover
you said you would write
didn't you
you said it's alright
didn't you
you said you would write
on my grave

every single day
i lie
words dig down today
i cry
but it seems that
i can't face
the world today
and it's crushing me like a blow
every single thing
i bite
the words dig down
and i'm blind
but it seems that i can't face
the world as it is today
cos' i can't see through
and it's crushing me so slow

love is a complex being

i expect you to hold me
when the clouds roll dark
no senses appealing
just pain that burdens your heart
but when you were a girl
you didn't know what I'm saying now
and now that it unfurls
you're gonna know what i'm saying
running a maze in a labryinth
that is my mind
you start to become entangled
you've seen my crimes
but when you were a girl
you didn't know what I'm saying now
and now that it unfurls
you're gonna know what i'm saying
when the going gets good
you better get with the going
is it sink or swim?
when the going gets bad
i'm not saying stay
just don't leave
irrationality's play
love is a complex being

remember the days when we were in love
oh i think they were fun
remember the days when we were in love
oh i think they were fun
you stopped the engine of my heart
you became my life's art
you start the engine of my heart
you became the holy one
you stopped the engine of my heart
you became my life's art
you stopped the engine of my heart
you are the only one
remember the days when we were in love

I've got a deal you can't refuse
I promise with interest you won't lose
you'll get to play gigs whenever I choose
Just because of the charisma that I ooze
I take 95% of your revenue at the door
Remember that son you won't ask for more
Your 5% will be sufficient
Promise you they'll be no revisions
You'll be a star, a superstar
Touching the world with all your heart
Gripping yourself when shit gets bizarre
All you gotta do is sing and play guitar
I take 95% of your revenue at the door
Remember that son you won't ask for more
Your 5% will be sufficient
Promise you they'll be no revisions
You're going to sells millions at ease
And I'll be taking as much as we've agreed
Sorry I don't mean to be frank
I'll be laughing my way to the bank
You're going to sells millions at ease
And I'll be taking as much as we've agreed
Sorry I don't mean to be frank
I'll be laughing my way to the bank

let me feel my failure

i've tried so hard to sing
i've tried so hard to write
but nothing gets through
nothing but dust mites
i phrase things awkwardly
make sense those things to me
off them i show to you
you tell me what to what to do
you say i should get rid of all this
the point of it all you have missed
maybe one day i may be a success
but for now let me feel my failure
let me feel my failure
maybe one day i may be a success
but for now let me feel my failure
let me feel my failure
my chords are strange to you
i don't know what to do
i use them anyway
why don't you go a go away
although i may not sing in pitch
i don't have to sound as you wish
maybe one day i may be a success
but for now let me feel my failure
let me feel my failure
maybe one day i may be a success
but for now let me feel my failure
let me feel my failure

how'd you get so fat with child
i'm married, i'm married, i'm married she said
when did you get married?
in the summer with some guy
i can deal with that i've said
all those things go round my head
all those things that aren't right
i think i'll drown myself tonight
i think i'll drown myself tonight
i've been sheltered from your life
yet i've loved with all my might
i've been honest all this time
you've a screen you hide behind
i can deal with that i've said
all those things go round my head
all those things that aren't right
i think i'll drown myself tonight
i think i'll drown myself tonight
i think i'll drown myself tonight
from the first kiss to the last
this i know, i will miss
she's a stranger from the past
yet i'll love her as i can't
yet i'll love her as i can't
yet i'll love her as i can!

you play the part like you're a martyr
you really don't have to
just wait and witness this stigmata
stores open for a day or two
why should i kiss you? tell me baby
you'll take the world for all it's due
your kisses are laced with acid
etchings of the honeydew
mercury lightning over us
mercury lightning over us
mercury lightning over us
mercury lightning over us

whisper to me
while i sleep
whisper to me
some poetry
make it good
make it right
let it sift
through my mind
words that I adore
listen while i snore
til' there is nothing more
words that I adore
entering the core
til' there is nothing more
whisper to me
while i sleep
whisper to me
some poetry
make it good
make it right
let it sift
through my mind
words that I adore
listen what's in store?
is there any more?
words that I adore
awaking just before
is there any more?

tearing up my heart

infatuation is just a phase of longing
you don't hold it but it holds you
now you're tearing up my heart
with those things that you are saying
i wasn't trying too hard but you were
making cute comments, you were flirting
now you're tearing up my heart
with those things that you are saying
and after all the things you've said
instead of consoling you
i just went right forth and said
who cares what our hearts are for?

blueberryseason recommends:
The City Loves You
by Ryan Wayland
A cleanly produced album whose lyrics and voice inform a dark, cinematic vision of the world, whose music evokes bar scenes flooded with smoke n haze. Thought provoking, imageistic, well written.
