My story starts off with a girl
Alumni from the university
basically a woman on her own
I recall I first ran into her
Serving up some nasty earthy tea
I quietly commented
On the Whitman she was buried in
No clue what I was saying
words kept on falling out
a few assembled
and i asked for her name
there you go girl // You’ve stolen my day
It broke my heart // when you asked the time // over and over again
Cuz I don't want to // let you leave my mind
So I'll find a way // to steal your heart // and finally // make you all mine
Next week I took her out
turns out she loves the classics
we watched Of Mice and Men
and then went downtown to eat
she held my hand the whole night through
she laughed at all my stupid jokes
first date she found my heart
Dear God how'd I let her in?
Makes sense to always never // want to let someone close
don't let your mind trample // all over your happiness
just look at me and how I // let my love thrive within
I just met her and want to give my life up

Whatever, Here We Go

Dear Melissa check your lips
your tongue is singing, "maritime"
wipe your face of all that shock
did you think we’d really last
Sip my scotch dried on the rocks
same ones we are headed for
thinking back we should have known
sailing blind to the unknown
Mend the breaks // patch the holes
What are we even trying for?
Abandon post // Man the rafts
In the end we’ll just fall short
Set the sails, cut the anchors
got no time to chart the maps
compass spinning, south is north
the stars are gone yet we press forth
blame the captain, where’s our captain
overboard with all the trust
seems to me we’re bound loose
so let’s cut ties and kill the booze
Your tongue is dry and eyes so wide
his darkened vessel nearing port
Man the Canons! Sink ‘em fast
their captain knew we wouldn’t last
Mend the breaks // patch the holes
What are we even trying for?
Abandon post // Man the rafts
In the end we’ll just fall short
Set the sails, cut the anchors
got no time to chart the maps
compass spinning, south is north
the stars are gone yet we press forth
blame the captain, where’s our captain
overboard with all the trust
seems to me we’re bound loose
so let’s cut ties and kill the booze

I'm A Machine

I walk outside // breathe in deep and smile
The weathers passed // and I begin to wonder
Was it worth // the countless night spent lonely?
I thought she was // my one true source of happiness
My mistake was letting go // giving up who I know
Changed my life // before I knew who she was
Tear me down // fix me up // these were hopes you always had
I wasn't right //so who cares? Let me be
Oh girl, you've got another thing coming if you think I'll
Change the ways that I work and I think and I dress and I live
You've lost your mind if you think you're what's gonna make me alter
Every thing that makes who I am and who I've become
Ever tried to build machines the way you want, once designed
It don't work so why you bother my lovely bones don't fit that way
Maybe try to fix the way you've got to have complete control
It's an ugly color on your skin my patience is running oh so thin
Oh girl, you've got another thing coming if you think I'll
Change the ways that I work and I think and I dress and I live
You've lost your mind if you think you're what's gonna make me alter
Every thing that makes who I am and who I've become

Happiness In Loneliness
03:33

I'm wasting away just thinking
do I give up and settle down
Find wife, kids, a dog and a fenced in yard
A picture perfect nightmare
Dad'd told me // that when I grow up
this was the course // my life would take on
And if you ask me // I will admit to
not needing others // to make me whole
Why should I have to follow
a path I’m not ever wanting
I feel like a locked up inmate
force fed from this reality
I found happiness in loneliness and solitude
I was told I’d find it in others
What a load of shit I don’t need anyone
Call me loner, and call me a loser
I've tried hiding these words in denial
I’m done fighting, done complaining
think it’s time that
I embrace myself
I found happiness in loneliness and solitude
I was told I’d find it in others
What a load of shit I don’t need anyone
Parents preach and put the pressure
Defining happiness
It's only nature that joy evolves
Its roots don't stay the same
Tell my dad that I'm so sorry
It's time I write my own life
