Ears Covered

what is home if not a lie?
a good idea for a month or three until you tire
what's happening? it wasn't i
it's not my fault, i was blindfolded up
ears covered
i'm heading east, i'm leaving it all behind
and i won't miss that noise
my ears are covered
you had me fooled
you're not as mild-mannered as i thought you were

Masquerade

let it go, never let it go
i am ill-equipped to catch what i cannot throw
seen it before, my kingdom for a horse
will stop at nothing other than what i came here for
if you could see me now, would you see someone good
or someone who is masquerading?
i am worried that i am not good
i am self-absorbed and irritating
fool me once, fool me twice
i don't care
i loved you so much i was out of my mind
and you don't have to tell me twice that i shouldn't have sent that letter
if you could see me now, would you see someone good
or someone who is masquerading?
i am worried that i am not good
i am impatient and suffocating
if i could just forget about chicago for a minute
maybe i could meet you there on the side of self-fulfillment

I Live Down the Street

don't buy me a coffee, we don't do breakfast
we both know that's not our thing
my lying eyes, i've been into the wine
and naturally you have been too
when you call me at 4 A.M. i feed your ego
'cause it's so hungry, starving artist
we both know that you only like me
'cause i live right down the street
if i was across this big city you would never both seeing me
you would never bother seeing me
you would never bother
do you like when i cry, you can see it on my face
for a year, give or take
i wish that you would take it all from me
call me out on a technicality
when you call me late at night, you don't want me
i saw my father and he looked like he was dying
did i kill him? would it kill me to care?
i can't carry these men anymore

Necessary Evil
02:46
|

|
it was 1:30 in the afternoon
before i could lift my head
i wish i didn't care about the things you do
but i do care very much
and it's petty not to forget
like my friends all tell me to
i think that day will come quite honestly
it's just not anytime soon
so i just wait, contemplate
and i date other people
i know it's wrong that i lead them on
but it's a necessary evil
when i left to see you it was -9
though it's hard to keep track
here, it's cold all the time
i'd believe in me more if i could remember my name
i believe my heart could be kicked
and my spirit could be saved
so i just wait, contemplate
and i date other people
i know it's wrong that i lead them on
but it's a necessary evil

I Want Love

i'm having doubts, is that okay?
it's not you who made me this way
it's not a flash, not hunger of the skin
i've had that before and this isn't it
so forgive me if i want to stand still for awhile
i've been moving my whole life
but i want love, i want love
i want love, i want love
and then there's you, you act so tough
i know you always thought i loved you too much
i wish we didn't share the same neighbourhood
but that's on a good day on dark days i feel like we should
so forgive me if i watch passer-by's
you can leave it to me to be preoccupied
