Rather be Wrong
04:13
|

He couldn't love her in a better way.
He wrote a letter on a summer day.
She wished he tell er perfect what to say
He left the letter, she let it blow away.
They'd rather be wrong.
Than that kind of right.
All right.
He left his Heather on an august day.
He broke his promise they never old and grey.
He's a roller so he never stays.
Just another in an age old play.
They'd rather be wrong.
Than that kind of right.
All right.
It's so rough to rhyme about heart break.
not all homes can be castles for god's sake.
So they ride high towards red orange skies.
just trailer park kids doing Irish goodbyes.
They'd rather be wrong.
Than that kind of right.
All right.

Améle 2003
03:10
|

Made you mix tape with Porno for Pyros
You said it was sweet
Say this life's like a backwoods carnival
tried to let i free
silver dollars for mother Mary
watch you cut so deep
another trip just like this lithium
2003
So I fucked away the pain
So I slept in way too late
So I smoked a pack a day
Threw my love for you away
You painted everything monochrome
Save the rest for me
I tried to hold you and slow dance with lights off
Only left falling leaves
Said another live, another camera. Dreaming Améle.
Walking different paths home alone like
Walking different streets.
So I fucked away the pain
So I slept in way too late
So I smoked a pack a day
Threw my love for you away

Scorpio Heart
04:22
|
|||
You break my heart like you're glad
Hating on all that you lack
My scorpio heart at that
Held in the palm of your hand
Plunge your knife into my back
You're Cold blooded and it tracks
Maybe someday you'll remember
Late August September
Muses
Who love to be cruel
This Music
And my love for you
Muses
And the passion they Fuel
Too losing
Those paintings of you
Storms halted at your command
Born under that thunderclap
So broken after that crash
Spun out all over the track
Long time I'll never have back
Waiting for my fade to black
Maybe someday, forgiveness
We will find ways to mend this
Muses
Who love to be cruel
This Music
And my love for you
Muses
And the passion they Fuel
Too losing
Those paintings of you

Care
03:09
|
|||
You can't hurt yourself today
This wont never ever go away
Just for you to call me late night
Spoke so well felt broken like
Put your feelings out on layaway
Gone in August so you wait for May
All those stops signs traded at green lights
Drama down so light blight like
You don't care
Nah baby nah
No you don't care
Slow motion when you walk away
The line you move is like it's devil made
Close the curtains worded foresight
No heartbroken started life like
Setting shade in your short play
Starts to sing like it's readymade
Right times fine if it's midnight
All glitters gold in the low light, right like
You don't care
Nah baby nah
No you don't care

Heavy Oak
03:20
|
|||
Never really talk to you
Honestly
Promise me
Fractured like
Out of sight
Fall Like Rain
Never again
Do my best
All of those
Broken hearts in a row
I don't know if I'll ever let go
All I know is I tried
Mary, I tried
I don't know
Where they go
Dear lord
Away from the storm
The bricks I laid
The way they paved
It's all gone
Oh no, Heavy hold
On oak you chose
The roses are everywhere
All I can say I tried.. Mary, I tried
Never really talk to you
At all

Nightlight
05:13
|
|||
Haste
Might make me your fool
Stay here
Don't lose your cool
Save
All your love for me
Say said said love
will set us free
Be my nightlight
It isn't right
Living life blindsided
When you're right where light is
Say
You'd never be cruel
Make you
My gem, My jewel
Wait here
Don't leave me be
Lay here
Be with me please
Be my nightlight
It isn't right
Living life blindsided
When you're right where light is

Someone, somewhere loving
Morrow coming Sunday
Drove hundred miles
Dressed all black, crying
A rosary
3 times, 3 times
These signs
And blinded by the light like you
A rosary
3 times, 3times
decides
Blinded by the light, like you
Painted desert roses
Station seldom sold for
So much sacramental
Send a robin fostered
Eldest holding shelter
Made from rusted metal
Coldest when the wind blows
Holding falling shelter
Painted desert roses
Station seldom sold for
So much sacramental
Send a robin fostered

Trains Pass By
03:39
|
|||
Rained all week
Singing down in the valley
Put my childhood home
In my pocket and go
Trains pass
Trains pass by
With nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Bind those roads
In roses and clover
Dream of father
and the mountains in May
Trains pass
Trains pass by
With nowhere to go
Listening to old cassettes
searching for your voice
One week and I been wrecked
Miss you forever
Trains pass
Trains pass by
With nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

All That Is
02:46
|
|||
It's a fine dance
Think I'll sleep all day
Soon...
All that is
All that is
All that is
It's a broken heart
for a midnight drive
Soon...
All that is
All that is
All that is
It's a somber dance
Losing you
It's somber day
Think I'll sleep all day
Soon...
All that is
All that is
All that is

Rhinoceropolis
03:44
|
|||
DIY
Like the times
We where young with
No fear to Die
Loving hearts
On the grind
Open wide too
See the signs
With no mind for
Nine to five
So reminded
To let you shine
Hold you out and
Hold you tight and
Hold you up
Just to watch you shine bright like
Rhinoceropolis
Save my life
Strong side
Live your life like
midnight drive
Whole wide
world is filled with
little white lies
Bright lights
pull you in
into my my life
Hold you out and
Hold you tight and
Hold you up
Just to watch you shine bright like
Rhinoceropolis
Save my life

Casper to Caddoa
03:13
|
|||
Such a fragile drone
Through the wind and the snow
Couldn't leave well alone
Acting tragic, the role
We could Leave
Back to casper
We could dream if we have too
Make believe singing shadows
Midnight scenes swimming Caddoa
You're enough
You're enough
Hailing all they chose
Melodrama show
Eating all counting crows
As sad stories all go
We could Leave
Back to casper
We could dream if we have too
Make believe singing shadows
Midnight scenes swimming Caddoa
You're enough
You're enough
Changing yes to no
Pushing back seconds pose
never have to un know
As doors slowly, they close
We could Leave
Back to casper
We could dream if we have too
Make believe singing shadows
Midnight scenes swimming Caddoa
You're enough
You're enough

No Computer
03:06
|

Ain't no computer
Feel compassion painting pictures
For its daughter
Ain't no computer
Drastic action righting lovers letters
Ain't no computer
Finding letters written foreign faster
Colder
Ain't no computer
Gonna bring back long gone lovers
To you
That stardust forever
The cyborg thought over
This letter all loitered
Forever no spoilers
Ain't no computer
Gonna mend your broken heart all over
Sorted
Ain't no computer
Gonna have your back like your grandmother
Ain't no computer
Find the sleeper in the dreamer
Holding
Ain't no computer
Hold your hand on this long journey
That stardust forever
The cyborg thought over
This letter all loitered
Forever no spoilers

Two Roads, Two souls
Pick one, get one

Love, love forever
I sing to you
Love love forever
Never be broken anymore
Never be cold anymore

Play the Fool
03:43
|
|||
I lost my heart
On a road at dark
In a little red car
Between the trailer parks
An eighteen
kind of thing
Lithium
And beauty queens
Couldn't let him go
In a flashing roll
The august sold
For all I know
My body broke
So did my mind
What did i find
But the nine to five grind
Ready to play the fool
The fool for you
I remember
Decembers
In Denver
Defending her
Her blue hair
Her standing there
At midnight
On new years
The wanting too
The needing to
Te passing up
The follow through
I was broken then
I still am...
Ready to play the fool
The fool for you
