Albatross

Don't let this be my legacy
An entire life of self-loathing
An entire life of questioning me
As this has been my history
And every misstep I have made
Relived a million times a day

You should know much better by now
From life, there's no easy way out

I never look back longingly
It's not natural to long for age
Or be embarrassed by naivete
And though the years have softened things
I am still the heavy cross I bear
I am still the crown of thorns I wear

You should know much better, by now
From life, there's no easy way out
It is a privilege that you must earn

There's no escape, my love
There's no escape

There's no escape, my love
There's no escape

You should know much better by now
(I used to be somebody)
(Back in the seventies)
From life, there's no easy way out

One Sunny Day

No one could ever know the things that I know
No word could ever tell the feelings I've felt
Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
Hey man, I'll drink to that

Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
I'll raise a glass to that. 
Fuck, here's to that

I am so sorry
It's my fault
If you were my friend, you'd let me go
If you were my friend, you'd let me self-destruct

Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
Hey man, I'll drink to that
Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
I'll raise a glass to that.
Fuck, here's to that

This would all clear up if I could just shut up
If I could just shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
Hey man, I'll drink to that
Oh, come one sunny day, you will look back and laugh
I'll raise a glass to that.
Fuck, here's to that

Night Divides The Girls

This is the excuse that encapsulates my pride
This tender misery is loneliness' bride

So I trudge in a world
Where I open up my arms
To greet the sky opening up
To dump such muddy rain
Upon my waiting lips

Did you ever take me in
I wasn't built to fly
I'm not one of you, it's always been hard for me
When night divides the girls
Like lipstick and cloves
Who can tell what metal we're of

Far Too Far

You must never go away again
For I lose myself
When I'm not reflected in your eyes
And I break so easily
You are the glow that surrounds me

I view myself in terms of you
I judge myslef in terms of you

You must never go away again
I am not myself at all
Thought I'm not sure who I could be
And I break so easily
You are the glow that surrounds me

Exoskeleton

You will have to toughen up
Like a shiny little bug
Beauty, she is cruel
So, I will be the bug
And the rock that kills the bug
The waves that crush the rock

So, I will be the waves
And the moon that moves the waves
This is my resolve
That I should be the waves
And the moon which makes the waves
Now, I eclipse the sun

Exoskeleton

Your Halls

Do your halls creak with echoes?
Can you see me in your bathroom mirror?
Can you hear me resonating?
Through the hallway
I am calling out to you

You never did it wrong, did you?
You’ll never take the blame, will you?
Even when the signs all pointed towards you
You never take the fall

It always had to be my fault
We had to break it down to my call
I’d plead guilty if I plead at all
And you’re above it all

I have to say
You’ve been betrayed
What’s more, it only gets worse
I’m afraid
That it was me
There it’s done, done, done

You lock me out
So I broke the window
A minor setback
To someone so willful

You always had to play the victim
Even when your hand is on the outcome
Crucified before you’d ever admit
That you’re the one at fault

Maybe once I think I should deserve it
If either way I’m gonna be punished
Maybe once I think I’m gonna earn it
And I’ll take you along

We Don’t Love You ANymore

WIth a breathless audience
Eye to eye with everyone
We watched your every move
Unquestionably yours

As you take your final bow
And step off of the stage
Lonely or curious
You come back again

With a look of endless love
That embraces everyone
Your smile as wide as sky
Yeah, you sure can turn it on

And you cannot help but wonder
If you really do deserve it
And this cannot help but hinder
Any further forward progress

When we forget you
When we don’t love you anymore
When we’ve outgrown you
Will you be bitter, my love?
We’ve seen it happen
To all the ones who went before
Now it’s your turn
Can you forgive us at all?

Tonight is only yours
Yeah, tonight you are the star
But when you own the world
And there is nothing more to have

When we forget you
When we don’t love you anymore
When we’ve outgrown you
Will you be bitter, my love?
We’ve seen it happen
About a million times before
Now it’s your turn
Can you forgive us at all?

Ingenue

You will find me
Second in command
I'm the second best friend
I'm the red ribbon
And you will find me:
The man behind the scenes
In the passenger seat
I am the assistant

You will find when your heart falls from your chest
You can put it in a bag
And bring it straight to my house
And you will find that I will be the one
That you always rely on
And you will never notice

What can I do to be ingénue
To be in the blue and the warmth of the spotlight
What can I do to be ingénue
To shine the way stars do in their velvety curtains
Still, I dream

So, I stand
Second in command
I'm the second best friend
I'm the red ribbon

Still, I dream

Everything Is OK (Different)

Break it all down into simplest terms
There, was that so bad
Now, is that so bad
You doubt yourself so much you don't even
Know what you really want, or how you really feel

And I'm so tired
Of you constantly over-thinking
I know why, because everything's going Ok
Just your style, to break it all into pieces
I know why, because everything's going Ok.

Disregard your inner monologue
Don't try to drown it out, 'cause it'll only wear you out
Sometimes things are just beyond control
That has to be Ok, you don't have a choice

And I'm so tired
Of you constantly over-thinking
I know why, because everything's going Ok
Just your style, to break it all into pieces
Just one time, I've had just about all I can take

Everything is unacceptable
If you overanalyze
And that is just your style
